Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. 
This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected.This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. 
According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. 
Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to XXXX party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I called capital one ( XXXX ) to ask for assistance on lowering the interest rate or if they could waive some of the interest assessed on the card. They stated that the interest could not be lowered by request. I asked if any interest charges could be waived and they said no. I asked if an audit could be conducted to make sure the interest was being assessed properly and they stated no. All I've ever heard from this company is no. Anything I ask for the answer is always no. Capital one and the way they handle their processes is extremely unfair to the customer. I will also mention I had this phone call escalated to XXXX who was introduced to me by the previous reprentative as a manager. When in fact he introduced himself as my account manager. He stated the call could not escalate past him. Meaning no one else to speak to. He stated that I may not like the answers to my questions but that is just how capital one handles these matters. The customer must not matter. That is how I was left feeling.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I experienced a lack of income due to leaving a XXXX  XXXX incident. I received my taxes on XXXX  and immediately contacted the creditor to resolve XXXX credit accounts. I paid the charges plus interest but couldn't afford the late fees assessed. They refused to cooperate or negotiate an affordable solution and continued to charge late fees and assess interest. 

I have reached out several times and given many different options within my budget and they continue to refuse to work towards a permanent resolution. I never missed a payment prior to being left with no income and a XXXX XXXX child to take care of. 

If they do not remove this from my report I will dispute the payments and take 100 % of the funds back paid on XX/XX/2023.

Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Mohela should be put out of business ASAP! Horrible and incompetent reps who give you bad info, no info, oe simply hang up you. You have to listen to 10 minutes of directions s when you call, just to be put on hold for 2 hours and speak to a rep is no help at all. I've called, sent letter, and sent messages through their portal. It's mentally and emotionally exhausting. Most items are time sensitive, yet they intentionally make it hard to get help. 

I used to be with XXXX XXXX and they had me fill out an opt out form called " School Related Deferment Waiver Form ''. It is attached to this email ( uploaded form/doc ). Unfortunately, although they told me on the phone they received it, it somehow is on and off on my account. I asked to be on forbearance due to economic hardship followed by my XXXX XXXX XXXX going through multiple surgeries a couple of months after submitting this form. There NEVER should have been any automatic updating to in-school status. I was a single mom very adamant about communicating my needs with XXXX and disappointed this wasn't taken care of. 

I just got off the phone after being on hold for 2 hours and then was hung up on by your rep. She also had no clue about consolidations, buyback process, nor forms being uploaded. I assume thats why she hung up. 

Looks like the had it correct from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. It then dropped off again from XX/XX/XXXX all the way through XX/XX/XXXX. It shows up again XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX and one last time from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am requesting that the following periods of in-school deferment for all of my loans be waived/adjusted and instead retroactively placed in economic hardship as originally requested per my original waiver form sent XXXX ( attached ) as originally requested : XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( 10 months ) XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 months ) XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ( 10 months ) Thank you so much.
