Complaint narrative:
" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of Identity Theft stemming from both the XXXX data breach and the Equifax data breach, in which my personal information was compromised and subsequently misused without my knowledge or consent. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX publicly disclosed that on XX/XX/XXXX it had suffered a significant data breach due to Hackers, with a revised announcement in XX/XX/XXXX stating that all three ( XXXX ) XXXX of its accounts were affected and the names, email addressed, phone numbers, birth dates, passwords, calendars and security questions of its account holders were compromised. On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax disclosed a major data breach between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX that exposed consumer data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and potentially other sensitive personal information. Due to these breaches, I have reason to believe that my personal data was used to open unauthorized accounts in my name. 

These breaches exposed sensitive personal data, and since then, my information has been fraudulently used without my knowledge or consent. These fraudulent accounts consist of a personal credit card account opened at XXXX on XXXX, account number ( XXXX ), a personal credit card account opened at XXXX on XXXX account number ( XXXX ), a personal credit card opened at XXXX XXXX on XXXX, account number ( XXXX ), a personal loan account opened at XXXX on XXXX, account number ( XXXX ), a auto insurance policy account with XXXX opened on XXXX, account number ( XXXX ) and a cable-internet utility account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number ( XXXX ). I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent accounts be removed from all XXXX of my credit reports. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent collections, closed accounts and charge offs appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaints ( # XXXX ) and ( # XXXX ) as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of Identity Theft and Fraud.

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

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

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.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

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

Company: MOHELA
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
My loans were put into an administrative forbearance. I called on XX/XX/year>. I requested that an end to the forbearance so that I could keep making progress on my PSLF payments. I also requested ( for a second time ) a complete payment history since one of my payments was never applied to my balance. I was also assured that the interest was not accruing on my loans. 

XX/XX/year> - My loans are still in forbearance. My account summary says the interest is accruing at 0 %, but I received a letter stating that I owe {$1700.00} in accrued interest ( amount spread over XXXX loans ). The document also notes that each loan is at 0 % interest., so I don't understand how my loans are accruing interest if they are at 0 %. 

So my issue is that I've repeatedly asked for my loans to come out of forbearance. They have not. I've repeatedly asked for a complete payment history. I have never received one. I have repeatedly asked for and explanation of how my loans are accruing interest while simultaneously being set at 0 % interest. I still don't have an answer. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
