Complaint narrative:
I had a Federal Perkins Loan while attending XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 

I became XXXX with XXXX XXXX. I submitted a Total and Permanent Discharge to XXXX which was approved on XX/XX/2023. 

XXXX sent notification to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, for they and XXXX XXXX XXXX were handling the XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX and XXXX received notice from XXXX on XX/XX/2023 notifying them that a TPD discharge of federal loans had been approved and to 1. Discharge the Debt on their end or 2. Return the loan to XXXX and they would discharge it themselves. 

Because of various complications, this item has been appearing/disappearing from my credit reports for 6 months, and every time it reports my credit score plummets. Sometimes it shows the account open, sometimes closed, other times with many, many negative/derogatory marks, sometimes in deferment ( which it isnt ), its discharged. 


As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified by the CRA that I had a series of seriously delinquent late payments on my report.

I have 5x120 day lates, multiple 30, 60, 90 day lates as well.

Ive tried taking care of this matter but it seems futile. 

My health is extremely poor, and I have XXXX XXXXXXXX including an aneurysm which will at some point end my life suddenly.

Im not asking for sympathy, but perhaps some empathy. My credit reports and scores are the first thing Ive been waking up to everyday, and its the worst feeling ever.

I've observed several deviations from mandatory reporting standards, which cast doubt on the accuracy and completeness of the data in my report. Consequently, I refute the allegations against me and challenge you to substantiate your authority to include this incomplete negative information in my credit report.

In accordance with 15 U.S.C 1681e, consumer reporting agencies must employ reasonable procedures to ensure the utmost accuracy of information in consumer reports. Furthermore, 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) mandates furnishers to provide info
rmation about consumer accounts with integrity and accuracy. This includes conducting reasonable investigations into consumer disputes, as outlined in the Consumer Reporting Resource Guide ( CRRG ) and adhering to XXXX XXXX compliance standards. 

Deviation from these standards, as emphasized in the CRRG, jeopardizes the integrity of the data, potentially compromising the accuracy of federally regulated reports. Consequently, I am exercising my rights to contest these inaccuracies and non-compliant items. Ignoring my demand would indicate a disregard for my consumer rights. 

It is unjust for you to report unconfirmed and ethically questionable information that does not meet certified reporting standards. I challenge these claims and request evidence of proper reporting standards.

Complaint narrative:
Merrill Lynch does not have a way for a customer to report a problem with a process or service of theirs, outside of calling and speaking with a representative via phone. 

I have an IRA account with Merrill Lynch. On XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated a process through their online form, available for existing customers, to rollover an XXXX from a prior employer to my IRA account with Merrill Lynch. 

A few weeks passed and I noticed no activity on this change. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Merrill Lynch and spoke with a representative who informed me that my transfer was being held up because the company needs an overnight mailing address from my prior employer 's plan that is not a XXXX XXXX XXXX and also that they need a statement or some other document either from myself or my prior employer 's plan. 

At no point since I initiated this process was there any attempt by Merrill Lynch to contact me regarding this required information. I had to find this out by waiting and taking the initiative to call a few weeks later. The Merrill Lynch service representative that I spoke with, XXXX XXXX, acknowledged that notifications do not go to customers in these cases. 

I am upset that there was no effort on the company to inform of needed information, either when I was originally submitting it, or in the weeks in between when I submitted it and my phone call. I am also upset that the only venue for me to notify the company about this directly is by speaking with the service representative, who validated that there is an issue, however, it left me with no assurance that this would get to the right management team at Merrill Lynch. I am also upset that there is no other venue for me to contact Merrill Lynch to let them know about problems and shortcomings in the offerings they provide for customers. Hence, why I am going through CFPB.

Everything on my credit report must be 100 % accurate in order to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. These accounts violate Code 1681i ( 5 ) by not reporting information that is 100 % accurate. Copies of every letter sent are attached below.

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

Based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.
