Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

On XX/XX/2025, I paid a {$7.00} fee for an instant cash-out through Cash App for a total of {$400.00}. After the fee, {$390.00} should have been deposited into my XXXX XXXX  account. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I still have not received the funds. My bank confirms there is no deposit or pending transaction. 
Ive contacted Cash App support multiple times ( daily ) through the app, XXXX, and XXXX. I also emailed XXXX, but the message bounced back as undeliverable. Their only active support channel appears to be the in-app chat, where I continue to receive the same copy-paste responses with no update or even a timeframe. 
I requested escalation on day XXXX and was told a manager would reach out. That never happened. By day XXXX, I was asked for my email again with no reference to prior communication. This is unacceptable for a service marketed and charged as instant. 
XXXX requesting immediate release of the {$390.00} and a refund of the {$7.00} fee. I expect accountability for this delay and a clear resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: MOHELA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I use MOHELA as my loan company. I have been contacted recently through a representative from my college regarding my balance. I have been informed that my loans are delinquent. I have not received anything from MOHELA regarding this. 

When the representative from my college called, I wanted to clarify my contact information. For phone numbers, my mothers number was primary and my personal number was secondary. For email, MOHELA had my mothers email, my highschool email ( deleted in XXXX ), my college email ( deleted in XXXX ), and my childhood email that was created by my mother. My address was correct, but I have not received any hard copies.

I have received interest on all 6 of my loans, which I can not afford to pay. I have attempted to fight this decision, however, nothing came about it. I can not reach anyone with MOHELA, I will be on the phone for a range of 4-6 hours before I speak with a human - who then will transfer me to someone else higher up. 

MOHELA shows different notices on my profile that were supposedly sent, but I have not received any of them. Being delinquent has brought my credit down by XXXX points. I have expressed that I have been jobless out of college and am just now starting to make money, for them to ignore what I am saying. 

This needs to be reviewed as MOHELA has not been timely with their billing.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
All three credit bureausXXXX XXXX and Equifaxare irresponsibly reporting late payment notations tied to XXXX XXXX XXXX  under account number XXXX * * * *, XXXX under account number XXXX * * * *, and XXXX under account number XXXX * * * *. These notations are completely inaccurate and unjustified. I have never missed a payment with these creditors, nor have I ever received a single notice or document that substantiates any claim of delinquency. These marks are not only damaging to my credit profile, but they are also deeply misleading, painting an entirely false picture of my financial reliability. Even more disturbing is the fact that these late payments appear uniformly across all three bureaus, suggesting that this is not an isolated reporting mistakeit is systemic negligence. 

The presence of these inaccurate derogatory marks strongly suggests that my data was compromised and mishandled as part of a broader data breach, either within the reporting systems of these lenders, the credit bureaus, or a third-party data broker. There is XXXX transparency in how these entries were generated or validated, and each bureau has provided only vague, templated responses when challenged. I have done everything I can to maintain a responsible credit history, and now I am forced to suffer the consequences of poor data governance and reckless reporting practices.
