I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by the company listed above. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 604 as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above. According to the provisions of 612 ( 15 USC 1681j ), there should be no charge for this report.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX XXXX XXXX applied for US Bank Business credit card based on the invitation that I received. I was suppose to get my credit card by XXXX XX/XX/year>- which i never got it. I called and chatted and I was told that it might take 7-10 days and I can figure out that these folks have no clues in terms of what they are talking about? 
I asked for tracking #- they had-no tracking #. I was told to ask a specific phone # which i called on XXXX XX/XX/year>. They ordered a replacement card with expedited shipping and assured of tracking # will be available next day. 
Well there is no tracking # at all. 

On XXXX XX/XX/year>, called US Bank once again and talked to XXXX Confirmation # of the complaint is XXXX I really needed this card well in time. 

The problem with this US Bank- too big, too ill managed, too fragmented and absolutely no accountability or ownership. 
This bank should be broken down into more manegable pieces so that it can be managed properly Moreover they are very dishonest or non transparent. Most of the jobs in XXXX- they are not doing any fair hiring- mostly cheap XXXX workers are hired who are not good.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, Subject : Inaccurate Credit Reporting Request for Immediate Deletion ( 15 USC 1681s-2 ) I am writing to formally notify you of an ongoing issue regarding inaccurate information reported by your company to the credit bureaus, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a furnisher of credit information, it is your legal responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data provided. 
The specific account in question is as follows : Account Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Current Reported Balance : [ {$5400.00} ] It is my understanding that this debt was charged off by your company, and I have reason to believe that a Form 1099-C was issued, which memorializes the cancellation of this debt. According to IRS guidelines, a debt cancellation through a Form 1099-C should no longer reflect as a balance on my consumer credit report. The continued reporting of this balance is therefore inaccurate and misleading. 
This inaccuracy constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA, as you are required to report only truthful and accurate information. With full knowledge of this error, you are obligated to correct it immediately. 
To rectify this matter, I request that you provide me with the following : 1. A return of the time and form prescribed by regulation or the Secretary, including : o My name o My address o My Tax Identification Number ( TIN ) o The date and amount of the discharged/charged-off debt o Any other relevant information as required by the Secretary If you are unable to provide the requested documentation and proof, I demand that this account be removed from my credit report in its entirety. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, as I will not hesitate to engage retained counsel to protect my rights under the FCRA. 
Please respond promptly and confirm the actions taken to correct this issue. All correspondence related to this matter should be sent to the address listed above. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt and favorable resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX SSN : XXXX

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am making regular payments plus principle. They are not applying the additional payment to more rapid pay down of principle rather they are holding excess payment and applying to future payment, not reducing principle and they are annually reducing my minimum payment directly against my instructions. After the last conversation with the company, they actually reversed an auto payment and said I had a late payment. 

The people I speak with have no idea about prepaying the principle or they are deliberately trying to keep me paying my loan. They owe me back payments on principle and credit for interest they charged me.
