I have a complaint on file and it was not satisfactory XXXX. The response from XXXX XXXX was unacceptable. CFPB closed the file accepting the response from XXXX saying licensing is delayed.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
As a consumer, I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am absolutely appalled to discover that my privacy has been blatantly disregarded and my personal information has been mishandled without my consent. 
In accordance with the FCRA, I have discovered that XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX- Accounts # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX And XXXX - Accounts # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX - Accounts # # # # # # XXXX, # # # # # # XXXX. 
Have all violated my rights as a consumer. This is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly. My fundamental right to privacy has been breached, and my sensitive information has been exposed without my permission. This is a clear violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A, which explicitly states that I have a right to privacy.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604A section 2 clearly outlines that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish accounts without the written permission of the consumer. This means that these accounts should not have been reported without my explicit consent, and the fact that they were is a clear violation of the FCRA. 
In addition, the same accounts are being reported by different companies with balances, which is another violation that is extremely damaging to say the least. 
A Companies Policies and practices DO NOT override Federal Laws. 
I urge you to take this matter seriously and take immediate action to rectify the situation. My rights as a consumer should not be disregarded, and I expect to be treated with the respect and dignity that I deserve. This violation of my rights is unacceptable, and I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution to this issue.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ I signed a note disclosure statement with XXXX Bank. The amount financed was for {$20000.00}. The annual percentage rate of a cost yearly credit was 10.470 %. The finance charge was listed as {$47000.00}. My total amount that I am to pay to the lender after the payments scheduled is {$67000.00}. My concern comes in form of the variable rate ( APR ) that I was forced to sign. On my disclosure statement, I was to chose one index rate that determines the APR. At that time the LIBOR Index Adjusted monthly was most favorable. However, based upon a recent article the LIBOR index will no longer be used. At this time, I feel my lender misled me with harmful information that affected my financial decisions.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on my TransUnion credit profile and I noticed there is an incorrect addresses and names on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation that support my dispute, including. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

The INCORRECT name that should be deleted is XXXX, XXXX. The INCORRECT Addresses that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and there is XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX. 



I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. 

I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.
