Consumer complaint received 2024-08-13 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
My accounts 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.

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!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I received a charge on my debit card from Experian for a recurring amount of {$24.00}. I attempted several times to contact them and was unable to speak to a representative due to their IVR system putting me into endless loops. After several attempts and after going through many loops in the IVR system I was able to reach a representative that could not find where I had signed up for their service and could not find where Experian was charging my debit card. I was asked to get the 23 digit transaction code from my bank, which I did, then had to go through the same lengthy call process trying to work through the IVR. Institutions should not be permitted to use IVR systems that prevent consumers from talking to a human.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing in reference to a problem I am having with my student loan servicer Nelnet. 
They are servicing some Federal ParentPlus loans I took out when my kids were attending college. 
These are all fixed interest rate loans totaling {$120000.00}. 
The crux of the problem is that the second to the last payment I made was in XX/XX/XXXX for {$1600.00}. There was a natural disaster forbearance that eliminated payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and for XX/XX/XXXX. 
Payments resumed in XX/XX/XXXX. 

The problem is that suddenly they have increased my monthly payment to {$1900.00}. This is an increase of {$340.00} or 21 %. 
At an annual interest rate of 7 % on {$120000.00} a 3 month forbearance would have added {$2100.00} onto the loan balance, an increase of 1.75 % The increase of 21 % they made is completely unjustified. Their response is vague and ambiguous and contains no concrete numerical justification for a 21 % increase. This complaint is tied to complaint XXXX which was closed. The previous complaint should not have been closed as the loan servicer failed to justify the magnitude of the increase. 
Do I need to spend money I don't have to hire a lawyer to hold these people accountable? That is what I thought the CFPB was supposed to.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I locked out of the myequifax.com online account. 

All attempts to login and/or reset password end up with same error msg " we are temporarily unable to complete this request ''. 

I've talked with four agents. All follow the same steps and end by saying it will be escalated and I will be contacted within a week. I have not received and follow up or fix. 

I see other people complain about same issue online. It's possible that it started because equifax had my old address. But that was updated by the first agent that worked with me. It did not help. 

I first called equifax on XX/XX/year>. I have called five times including today, XX/XX/year>.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done
