Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681XXXX. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Company: MOHELA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
Issue : On XX/XX/year>, MOHELA, my student loan servicer, automatically withdrew {$3000.00} from my bank account without any prior authorization of such charge. This withdrawal was not related to my authorized automatic withdrawal rate of {$430.00}. 

Finally, after over a month of back-and-forth communications, on XX/XX/year>, MOHELA finally agreed to issue a refund of {$2600.00} ( {$3000.00} less the regular payment of {$430.00} ). Now, it turns out, MOHELA has a 30+ day window, that starts on the date of request, for them to issue a refund. In my case, since I finally was able to get MOHELA to request the refund for me on XX/XX/year>, so, if using both business and non-business days, the deadline would be XX/XX/XXXX. However, if solely using business days, the deadline would be XX/XX/XXXX, which is the case. 

The issues are firstly the unapproved withdrawal, and, secondly, the long delay period for MOHELA to refund unapproved withdrawals. These issues lead to MOHELA placing unnecessary burden on the borrowers and deriving a lot free float without fair exchange.
