On XX/XX/year> I submitted to CFPB, Identity theft complaints and documentation to Experian, XXXX and XXXX. FCRA states they have 4 days to remove those items and they have done absolutely nothing. These credit agencies are not abiding by the law and theyre 3rd party affiliates. I am going to be opting out of all XXXX systems indefinitely because I dont feel they care about consumers just about making money with the companies they violate laws for.

Complaint narrative:
My account with ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

I demand the late payment reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concern regarding a recent interaction with my current loan servicer, Mohela, which has left me in a difficult situation as I attempted to apply for the SAVE program. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a representative at XXXX XXXX who advised me to consolidate all of my student loans, including Parent PLUS loans, under the Department of Education. I was informed that this was the only way I could qualify for the XXXX XXXX XXXX program. Following this advice, I proceeded with the consolidation as instructed. 

However, during a conversation with a Mohela representative on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that my consolidation of XXXX XXXX XXXX disqualifies me from the SAVE program. I was advised that I should have consolidated only my XXXX  loans, not the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The erroneous information received from XXXX has put me in a challenging financial position. 

As it stands, my current take-home income and family size do not allow me to afford the payment now required by Mohela. Despite having incurred a significant amount of student loan debt with the expectation that a XXXX  would enhance my XXXX XXXX I have been unable to secure a higher-paying job that recognizes the value of my XXXX  and would help alleviate this financial burden. 

Additionally, I have submitted a borrowers defense application due to my attendance at the XXXX  XXXX XXXX, a predatory institution. I completed this application in XX/XX/XXXX, and it has yet to be reviewed. I was informed that the review process could take anywhere from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I have had deferments and forbearances over the years, including income-based repayments of {$0.00} per month. I am just learning that these may not be counted toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program, for which I am eligible. 

The method of basing repayment on gross income rather than net income is problematic. With the rising costs of essential expenses such as mortgage payments, utilities, transportation, insurance, medical and dental care, groceries, etc., it becomes exceedingly difficult to manage additional financial obligations. Taking on a second job to meet my student loan payments is not a feasible solution for me. Under the SAVE program, there was the chance my payments would have been more manageable. 

I am reaching out in hopes of finding a resolution to this issue. The conflicting advice I received stemming from XXXX, has significantly impacted my financial stability, and I am seeking guidance on how to rectify this situation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

XXXX
