XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Student Loans Listed on My Credit Report reported on This item remained unchanged from our processing of your dispute in XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding student loan accounts that have been placed on my credit report. I believe these entries are inaccurate and have negatively affected my credit standing. 

Upon reviewing my credit report from [ name of credit bureau : XXXX XXXX or XXXX  ], I noticed that the following student loan accounts were listed : DEPT OF ED/AIDVANTAGE XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$32000.00} Original Balance {$15000.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$17000.00} Original Balance {$8500.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$17000.00} Original Balance {$8000.00} I have reason to believe these accounts are either erroneous, incorrectly reported, or do not belong to me.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago, I submitted dispute letters directly to all three credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) is attempting to collect after my request for verification of amount ownership contract information. The response I received. 
The last official billing statement from XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/year> ) showed a balance of {$1800.00}. 
PRA is now claiming {$2200.00}, which is nearly {$400.00} higher than the verified XXXX XXXX balance. 
PRA has not provided an itemized breakdown of how they calculated the higher amount, even after I requested validation.

PRAs own letter admits the debt is time-barred under Florida law ( past the statute of limitations ), but they continue trying to collect. 

Because the amount is inflated, unexplained, and legally unenforceable, I dispute the validity of this debt.
