Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX Subject : Request for Investigation and Account Deletion Under the FCRA Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you regarding the account [ XXXX ] reported in my credit history. Following a dispute with XXXX, this account has been removed from their report because the information was found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. Attached to this letter is the confirmation of deletion provided by the other credit bureau, further demonstrating that the data provided by the information furnisher does not meet the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

During their investigation process, the other credit bureau reviewed the details of the debt and determined that the information could not be verified as accurate. As a result, they removed the account from their records. I expect the same level of diligence and adherence to the FCRA 's requirements in your investigation. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information contained in my report. Since this information has already been removed by another credit bureau, I request that you review this account and remove it from my report to reflect the same level of accuracy. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I demand that you conduct a reasonable and thorough investigation of this dispute. The removal of this account by another credit bureau strongly suggests that this information can not be verified. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the information furnisher is obligated to correct or remove inaccurate data across all credit bureaus with which they operate. I request that you contact the information furnisher to confirm that this information should be removed from your files. 

Finally, please note that failure to comply with your obligations under the FCRA may result in civil liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. I look forward to a prompt resolution of this matter and request confirmation of your receipt of this dispute, as well as the removal of this account, within the 30-day timeframe required by law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Complaint ID XXXX This Citi Bank is a joke! Just rec 'd their email again stating I was overdrawn by trying to pay 3 times. Not sure if they can read or listen to the recorded conversation I had on XX/XX/XXXX for approx 1 hour with their Fraud Dept person XXXX. XXXX, said they froze my account since the had an alert from a transaction back in XX/XX/XXXX. My concern is why did they 1 ) not catch it sooner & notify then 2 ) why 4+ months later freeze my account without even a phone call or notice. Which caused me great embarrasement trying to pay my real estate dues since my card was declined 3 times! There was more than enough funds to cover the & {$710.00} the 1st time had not the Fraud Dept held my money. Typical of Citi to blame the Customer. They did this when they paid my mortgage check 3 times with the same check/amount. I'll enclose the info from that issue.

Company: MARINER FINANCE, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Mariner Finance practiced predatory lending, when they sent me out a live check. XX/XX/XXXX, I received a live check in the mail for {$2400.00} 0r {$2600.00} dollars. I deposited the check and requested a contract and was told that I couldn't receive one, not by mail, email, fax, or certified mail. I paid roughly nine payments at, {$110.00}, then I was falling behind. Mariner Finance had been pressuring me to refinance the loan, I was unsure what refinancing on a loan entailed. On XX/XX/XXXX Mariner Finance refinanced the loan, gave me an additional {$3000.00} dollars and started the loan over as if I'd never made a payment. I requested a contract and was told yet again no contract could be sent to me. To date I've never received a contract, my new payment became {$210.00}, I paid more than {$4500.00} dollars on a {$5400.00} dollar loan, with a balance of more than {$4600.00} dollars left on this loan not including added on fees and late charges. The consumers of California deserve better than predatory lending practices. Mariner Finance is currently facing a lawsuit, Mariner finance is being sued for predatory lending by the Attorney General of North Carolina, with an additional 10 Attorney General from other states who have joined in the lawsuit for predatory lending practices in their states. Mariner Finance has now brought these same predatory lending practices to California. I have paid over 84 % of this loan with Mariner Finance telling me I still owe over 80 %. This is not just predatory lending, it a crime.

Company: MOHELA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I applied to switch my repayment plan from SAVE to IBR repayment plan on XX/XX/XXXX so I can continue to pay my loans. I have seen no movement on that. I was told they only started processing applications on XX/XX/XXXX. While I understand that, I asked customer service about a recent email from the Department of Education that was sent on XX/XX/XXXX ( Subject line : Update on the Saving on a Valuable Education Plan ) that states : " If you submit an application to enroll in an IDR plan other than SAVE, but your loan servicer is unable to process your application within 10 business days of receiving the application or before your next billing statement will be sent, you will be moved into a processing forbearance for up to 60 days. During this period, you do not have to make your monthly payments on your student loans, interest is accruing, and time spent does provide credit toward PSLF* and IDR. '' I was told that MOHELA could not move me from SAVE forbearance, although this email from the Department of Education stated that my servicer should move me as it has been XXXX business days since XX/XX/XXXX ( when I first applied to IBR ) and XXXX business days since MOHELA says they were able to start processing applications. I was transferred to another customer service agent at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( after being on hold for nearly two hours to even get to the first customer service representative ) to get further information. I was told the wait time would be XXXX hour and XXXX minutes. It is the close of the business day, and I have never received a call back. I will have to call again tomorrow, or the following day, and continue to wait hours on hold to try to get an answer.

Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Experian have failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit reporting act to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Leaving inaccurate unverified accounts unresolved. The 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 disputed outcomes. These failures align with my experience where Experian has neither corrected or 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 requested disputed accounts, as Experian inactions violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
