Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Removal of Charge-Off Account # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ]. I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading.

I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Nelnet due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over XXXX late payment entries from Nelnet, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced under these conditions.

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported.

2. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving Nelnet raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, Nelnet may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur.

3. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ( Address of the Credit Reporting Agency ) Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report Dear ( Credit Reporting Agency Name ], I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law.

Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations* and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly. 
Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner. 
Please review the Inaccurate Information being report :

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ( a ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. XXXX and XXXX, as consumer reporting agencies, are subject to this law, and I, as the consumer, have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared.

This is further supported by 15 USC 6801, which states that " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information. '' Since a furnisher of information to credit agencies is defined as a financial institution under this title, both XXXX and XXXX are bound by this policy. 

According to 15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report under the written instructions of the consumer. However, neither XXXX nor XXXX has my written consent to furnish my information. Any prior consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked.

Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) stipulates that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed about how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. Neither XXXX nor XXXX has informed me of my right to opt-out as required by law.

15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) further emphasizes that consumer reporting agencies can not report adverse items, such as accounts, that are more than seven years old unless specifically authorized. These agencies are reporting an adverse item on my file without my permission, which is a clear violation of the law.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) prohibits the furnishing of information to any consumer reporting agency if the information is known or reasonably believed to be inaccurate. Both XXXX and XXXX have failed to meet this standard, as they are reporting inaccurate information about me.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e, consumer reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specific, lawful purposes. XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures in this regard. 

Finally, 12 CFR 1016.7 confirms that consumers may exercise the right to opt-out at any time. As such, I am formally opting out of your reporting services.
