State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Your CFPB complaint is about inaccurate credit reporting by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) on a charged-off account.

The account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX XXXX is still reporting a past due amount every month, including as recently as XX/XX/XXXX Why its a problem : Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), data furnishers like XXXX XXXX must report accurate and complete information to credit reporting agencies. 
A charged-off account should not continue to accrue new delinquencies or report monthly past due balances doing so misrepresents the account status. 
This could be considered re-aging the debt, which is not allowed under federal law.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have attached the last three correspondences I received from Federal Student Aid regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX payment counts. The correspondence dates are : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. All three documents listed my XXXX counts as follows : XXXX PSLF-eligible payments ( EPs ) for Consolidated Loan XXXX and XXXXXXXX PSLF EPs for Consolidated Loan XXXX XXXX To my surprise, when I logged in on XX/XX/XXXX, my PSLF counts for both loans had been changed to XXXX. I do not understand why the accuracy of such critical account information is not consistently upheld for student loan accounts. I was never notified of these changes or given an explanation as to why they occurred. After being on hold for hours, I was finally informed that my payment counts were adjusted because the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX were deemed ineligible. However, those months being ineligible should not have reduced my previous payment counts. The reason I originally requested recounts is because I received a notification from XXXX stating that while my XXXX request was pending, I would be granted XXXX  days ( XXXX months ) of administrative forbearance. This would have brought my PSLF counts to XXXX for the loan previously at XXXX, and XXXX for the loan previously at XXXX. I wanted to confirm this adjustment before my buyback request was processed. I have had an XXXX  request pending since the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX, as well as a buyback request pending since late XXXX. At this point, I am beginning to feel hopeless about getting clear and accurate information regarding the status of my student loans. I am now months past my original forgiveness date, and the delayed processing of several aspects of my loan has caused economic hardship and disrupted my financial plans. As a single woman, my student loans significantly burden my overall financial outlook, and my debt-to-income ratio is disproportionately affected by them -- a number that now exceeds even my mortgage balance. I am not asking for special treatment or favors from Federal Student Aid or XXXX. I am simply requesting that my loans be managed with accuracy, and that I be treated as a respected and valued consumer and citizen. I do not know what specific resolution to request beyond receiving clear, factual answers about the {$130000.00} for which I remain liable.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has failed to fulfill its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information when requested by the consumer. I specifically requested the name and contact details of the furnisher, the identity of the individual the agency communicated with, and the documentation relied upon to verify the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency failed to provide this information within the 15-day period mandated by law. This failure to respond constitutes a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an auto loan account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my Experian credit report. This account is listed as joint, but I do not recognize it, and I have never received any certified mail, documentation, or notice regarding it. There is no legal proof that I signed for or agreed to this account, and Experian has not provided any verification. 

I submitted a dispute to Experian, requesting proof such as certified mail, signature, or contract, but they failed to provide any evidence or remove the account. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 210.

This account is harming my credit, and I was never given an opportunity to validate or dispute it properly. I am requesting that the CFPB require Experian and the furnisher to remove this account from my credit report due to lack of verification and legal notice.

I lodged a complaint with these XXXX a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, 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 thesXXXX XXXX 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.
