Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I obtained a loan to purchase a vehicle from Ally Auto. Subsequently, I sold that vehicle XX/XX/XXXX, the loan was paid off in full by the buyer XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In early XXXX, I noticed that the payments I made to Ally Auto had not been correctly applied/calculated towards by loan balance. I also noticed, that months after the loan was paid off in full, Ally Auto reported a late payment on my loan. I immediately disputed the late payment with the credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ally Auto falsely corroborated the late payments. 

I then proceeded to send Ally Auto a notice to file legal suit to their Agent of Record. This caused Ally Auto 's legal department to contact me by phone and subsequently re-calculate my payments according to the dates and amounts paid. Ally concluded they owed me well over {$800.00}. Ally Auto refunded that amount to me in or around XX/XX/XXXX. However, Ally Auto failed to update my credit report by removing the late payment for well over a year. Their refusal had a catastrophic and residual negative affect on my credit worthiness. Their inaction caused me to not be approved for multiple credit extension requests; including mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and personal loans, as I faced financial difficulties and housing insecurity. Unfortunately, their failures to meet responsible reporting also had a negative affect on job offers. 

Ally Auto eventually removed the late credit report filing about a year later. The damage was already done. Ally Auto is single-handedly responsible for the negative state of my current credit worthiness status. I would like Ally Auto to provide compensation for their failures. Very similar to the settlement that was made in the courts in XXXX, Ally Auto 's practices consistently show they are careless with their responsibilites to the consumer.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have been dealing with this since last year. I have paid approximately XXXX since XX/XX/year>. I emailed them, but received no response. I tried calling them and after three phone calls and being on hold for 4 hours I finally reached someone that told me it was because I had been put on the Save Plan and that they would correct it. Several more emails and phone calls when this was not the case. Finally got through again for someone to tell me it would take 2-3 months to correct which is ridiculous. Still I have been paying and selecting to move my payment date forward for all except one of my payments and still every month it says I have a payment. I emailed them again and received a response asking for the dates I made payments that should have moved the payment dates forward. I sent them a screenshot and then received a response back stating that it was not easy to communicate over email and that I needed to call them. I am at my wits end with this company. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email stating I was put in Administrative Forbearance due to all the issues, but the table they sent I don't understand and I CONTINUE to have an amount due every month.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I would like to address the crucial regulations safeguarding consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These regulations ensure equitable treatment, privacy protection, and accuracy of credit information. Section 602 ( a ) of the FCRA mandates that entities collecting and reporting consumer information must adhere to principles of fairness, neutrality, and privacy, encompassing well-known entities like XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. As an individual subject to their data collection, I retain the right to safeguard my privacy. Furthermore, Section 6801 reinforces Congress 's intent for financial institutions supplying data to credit agencies to uphold the security of personal information. 

The FCRA also outlines the necessity for written consent prior to the dissemination of consumer information by credit agencies, as delineated in Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ). However, I have not provided written consent to XXXX, TransUnion, or XXXX, contravening this requirement. Moreover, Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ) stipulates that financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of information sharing, a requirement that has not been fulfilled in my case. 

XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX have reported adverse information about me without obtaining my consent, a violation of Section 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA. Additionally, Section 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits the dissemination of knowingly inaccurate information, which appears to have occurred in this instance.

Furthermore, the FCRA mandates that these entities establish robust procedures to ensure compliance with the law, as outlined in Section 1681e. Unfortunately, it appears that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX have failed to implement adequate measures, resulting in inaccurate information being included in my credit report. 

Consequently, I am formally requesting that they cease sharing my information, as permitted by 12 CFR 1016.7. Additionally, I demand the immediate removal of all erroneous entries from my credit report. Failure to adhere to these requests may warrant legal action for willful non-compliance with FCRA regulations.
