Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against TransUnion regarding the continued reporting of inaccurate hard inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries are a direct result of identity theft linked to the XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach and fraudulent activity that followed. Despite submitting my Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report, TransUnion has refused to remove these inquiries, deeming them accurate, which I believe is incorrect and unlawful. 

To provide further details : XXXX Data Breach : As you are likely aware, in XXXX XXXXXXXX was responsible for a major data breach that exposed personal information of millions of individuals, including my own. This breach led to the theft of sensitive data, including my Social Security number, and the subsequent fraudulent use of my identity. 
Fraudulent Hard Inquiries : Upon reviewing my credit report, I found several hard inquiries that were made without my consent. These inquiries appear to be tied to fraudulent actions taken using my stolen personal information. 
FTC Identity Theft Report : In an effort to resolve the situation, I submitted my official FTC Identity Theft Report, which documents the unauthorized activity on my credit file. Despite providing this report, TransUnion has continued to refuse to remove these inquiries, claiming that they are accurate and valid. This is a misrepresentation, as these inquiries were not authorized by me and are the result of criminal activity. 
Violation of Consumer Protection Laws : TransUnions failure to investigate or remove these fraudulent hard inquiries is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to remove information that is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent. Their refusal to correct these inaccuracies is not only incorrect but also disregards my consumer rights. 

I have attached the following supporting documentation for your review : A copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report My credit report highlighting the disputed inquiries Any relevant correspondence with TransUnion regarding this matter ( if applicable ) Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent issue. I look forward to your prompt response and the resolution of this matter. If you need any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to make payments on my student loans through the Mohela website, and I receive a payment confirmation each time. Days later, and only when I check my detailed account history, Mohela has logged a Payment Reversal without explaining why. I am using the same bank account I have always used to pay my loans. Mohela further refuses to enroll me in Auto Pay, putting me at risk that my next payment will not be logged properly and will be reported as overdue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025 I attempted to put money in my account via the ATM at the Navy Federal Credit Union at XXXX XXXX XXXX. During the conduct of the transaction the last bar I saw for total amount was {$620.00}. Directly following that the server that controlled the whole Navy Federal crashed, crashing the ATM with it. Following the crash i immediately went inside and disputed the lost money. On XX/XX/2025 I received a letter from Navy Federal saying an investigation had been launched and that no excess cash had been found in the ATM. This is ridiculous. Took over a month to conduct the investigation to then say there was no wrong doing. On XX/XX/2025 a provisional credit of {$620.00} was deposited on my account. In the letter I received on XX/XX/2025 I was informed that Navy Federal will be removing the {$620.00} credit. I requested the information they used to make their decision on XX/XX/2025. I was informed this would take XXXX business days to receive. As of writing this it had been 4 days with no update to the information that was used.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the unauthorized access and deletion of my student loan data as reported in the XXXX XXXX article titled " XXXX and XXXX : Did XXXX Breach Student Loan Contracts? '' ( XX/XX/year> ). The report raises alarming concerns regarding potential violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) due to unauthorized access and tampering with student loan records.

As a borrower with active student loan obligations, I am highly concerned that my rights under FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ) have been violated. Unauthorized deletion or modification of my education records is strictly prohibited under federal law. These reported actions have severely impacted my financial and educational standing, and I demand immediate corrective measures. 

I am formally requesting the following actions : XXXX. Immediate Investigation A full audit into whether my records were accessed, altered, or deleted without my consent. 

XXXX. Full Disclosure A comprehensive list of entities or individuals involved in accessing, modifying, or deleting my records. 

XXXX. Restoration & Rectification Immediate correction of any unauthorized deletions, accompanied by a written statement confirming all corrective actions taken. 

XXXX. Future Compliance Assurance A formal, written confirmation that my student loan records will remain fully protected under FERPA and that no further unauthorized access or modifications will occur. 

I expect a written response within XXXX days from the date of this letter, detailing the steps taken to address this matter. If my concerns are not properly addressed, I will escalate this issue by filing a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Educations Family Policy Compliance Office ( FPCO ) and explore legal remedies. 

Please contact me at XXXX or XXXX with updates. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency it demands. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
