Complaint narrative:
Hi, I was a capital one banking customer ( XXXX XXXX before their acquisition ) for over XXXX years. Then out of the blue and without reason, capital one closed my accounts- via email that felt like a phishing attempt. 

I visited the local branch manager- was told they have no insight into the issue and to call the XXXX number for information. 

Multiple calls to their XXXX number yielded the same XXXX XXXX : we have decided to close your accounts. we have the right to close your account any time, for any reason. However, they have never cited a reason. I've attached the notification ( email ) and post-closure notices ( mail ). 

Account numbers : XXXX XXXX XXXX I would like to know the reason behind this sudden closure and what they think I did wrong. This is a XXXX XXXX for a financial institution and customer service.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint last year with Aidvantage and the issue remains unresolved. I had two loans serviced through them that were discharged and XXXX  out, but the full balance and no change was made as promised by them on my credit report. I received a copy of the letter that was sent from them and the Dept of Education in XX/XX/2023 that confirmed the discharge/forgiveness of these loans in full. The document is password protected, so I had to use screenshots from it which I included as attachments for this case. In this letter, it was promised that these loans would be taken off of my credit report within 60-90 days of the letter being sent. It is now well beyond that timeframe and the loans remain on my credit report with the full balance intact. 

I have tried to contact them directly numerous times, and just the same as before, I can never get through to anyone via email or phone. I worked with a representative from Aidvantage previously in XX/XX/2023 when I filed my initial XXXX  and CPFB complaints. She had also assured me that these loans would be taken off my credit report from Aidvantage by XX/XX/2023 at the latest, as that would mark the full 90 days from when the letter was sent to me initially. 

Additionally, I've also disputed through XXXX several times, with one being recently, and Aidvantage is still claiming that the information on my credit report is correct with the full balances. The balances on my Aidvantage online account are XXXX out as well, so there is no reason why this same information shouldn't be reported accurately through the credit bureaus. It is THEIR responsibility to remove these and report accurate information and they are straight up LYING to the credit bureau and getting away with it. I will also be filing another complaint with the XXXX  and attorney general to make sure this gets resolved. If it doesn't, I am more than happy to take Aidvantage to court for these illegal and shady business practices.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate, Mr. Cooper has owed me for force placed flood since XXXX, they didnt follow the RESPA and regulation X on notifications because I was on the phone with them monthly providing proof. They never returned the funds once t they had proof, they had 15 days to do that, additionally, when they finally did in XX/XX/XXXX, it was the incorrect amount and since I overpaid my mortgage payments in XXXX, they took {$5000.00} from the overpayments and placed it in escrow, they essentially used my overpayment to pay me the money owed back from the force placed flood from XXXX, its ridiculous. This company even used my unauthorized funds to pay Assurant for kickbacks. Thats probably why they kept taking the forced placed flood insurance that they reasonably knew I already had through my HOA.
