State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Good Afternoon, My name is XXXX XXXX and Im currently an XXXX on XXXX XXXX in the United States Marine Corps. 
Im a helicopter pilot based out of XXXX XXXX and have been in for 6 years. 
Recently, my intelligence shop has notified me that my student loans have been flagged in their system, and because of that, I may lose my security clearance, and potentially my job. 
Unfortunately, my current student debt is up to {$180000.00}, and even worse its a private loan from Sallie Mae and Navient. 
When I first signed for the loans, my dad and I agreed that we would split the debt and pay it off individually, but just over a year ago, he passed away unexpectedly from XXXX  XXXX. Because Im the co-signer, I have taken the entirety of the loan. My mom has stopped paying the other half, and weve recently discovered that dad did not leave anything behind for my family and I to help cover this debt. 
I currently live on base with my wife and son, living on one income to support us as she also attends school. 
Ive contacted Sallie Mae and Navient about the situation. I was paying about {$800.00} a month after I joined the military, but since the passing of my dad and now supporting a family, I can not make that kind of payment. Ive offered to pay an amount within our budget, XXXX a month, but they have both denied that offer. 
XXXXm reaching out in hopes that there may be something youd be able to do to help my family and I in this situation. Anything would be greatly appreciated. 

Very Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing this letter to report a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by a creditor. I recently checked my credit report and found that the creditor had listed inaccurate information, which has negatively affected my credit score. The creditor did not follow the regulations laid out in the FCRA, which mandates that creditors must report accurate information to the credit bureaus. 

According to the FCRA, if a creditor fails to report the correct information, they have committed a violation that can be reported to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I hereby request that an investigation be conducted into this matter so that the creditor can be held accountable for their actions. Additionally, I urge the bureau to take necessary action and ensure that the creditor corrects the inaccurate reporting to the credit bureaus. 

I believe the creditor has violated the law and my rights under the FCRA, and I request appropriate legal action to be taken. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving your response.

Complaint narrative:
The Pittenger Law Group Llc took on a collection debt on XX/XX/2023 From XXXX XXXX XXXX. I obtained attorney to settle the amount from XXXX to XXXX which I signed off to pay. With this Law Firm it only accepts one form of payment to be a collection agency. Which this Law Firm does not accept my checking account due to its a debit card but I have never had any issues using my checking for ACH debit. With this being a Law firm collection agency how can they only allow one form of payment. The collection agent gave me the incorrect code For money gram. I believe they are making it hard for customers to make their payments to have to take them to court. They are rude and unprofessional. This Law Firm needs to be Investigated. I have filed a complaint with the Attorney General also

Complaint narrative:
Previously on my last complaint, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

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.

( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.
