Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: MOHELA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I was informed in XXXX that I was issued a refund for a discharge, but I never received it. I was informed only after it was returned to MOHELA months later. They called in XXXX to supposedly confirm my address. I confirmed it and they said they would re-issue the payment of {$4800.00} but I still have yet to receive it. They told me that it was actually approved last year in XXXX but wasnt mailed to my previous address until XXXX. Because I was never told it was even approved to be sent they sent it to my previous address after I had moved the same month. In XXXX I was told that it could take up to 90 days for me to recieve it. I started calling in XXXX and they supposedly escalated the issue. I was approved for another refund at the end of XXXX and I received that in XXXX. I have called the treasury and submitted several FAFSA complaints with no call back, or email response and only 1 letter stating they are working on my issue before XXXX. They treasury says it has still not been approved for re-issuance from MOHELA. FAFSA has not followed up on the issue either. I have called at least 2-4 times a month from XXXX with no success, but there is proof that I was approved for the refund.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I noticed interest fees in the amount of {$1600.00}. I called synchrony bank to see why since I thought my promotional period was for XXXX XXXX. On this phone call I learned it was XXXX XXXX and was told the promotion was up XX/XX/year>, but if I paid the remaining balance XX/XX/XXXX they would remove the interest. I called back XX/XX/XXXX and made the remaining payment of {$760.00} and verified with the synchrony representative that the interest charges would be removed. They told me it would take a few days to process and to check back and if it wasnt removed to call back. I called XX/XX/XXXX due to still seeing the charges on my account and spoke with multiple representatives who were unhelpful. I requested to have a XXXX call me back because the information I was given was incorrect on their behalf for the original payment otherwise I would have made it sooner. I was called back and told that I was told a different date and I would still owe the interest charged. This is not the first time this has happened to me with this bank.
