Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Original Promissory Note or Removal of Accounts from Consumer Report This letter is a formal request regarding the student loan debt ( s ) that you have reported on my consumer credit report. Please be advised that this is NOT a refusal to pay but a request sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am disputing the validity of the alleged debt ( s ), and I am requesting proper validation.

This is NOT a request for mere verification of my mailing address or other peripheral information, but a formal demand for competent evidence that establishes my legal obligation to pay this debt and the right of your office to report it to consumer reporting agencies. 
Specifically, I request the following : Account Information : Account Name : EDFINANCIAL Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Account # : XXXX Proof of Debt : I respectfully demand that you provide a copy of the original wet-ink promissory note or other documents that serve as the foundation of the alleged debt ( XXXX ) you claim I owe. The absence of such documentation violates my rights under the FCRA, FDCPA, and any applicable state laws. You must provide evidence proving your legal authority to report this debt. 
Failure to Provide Proof : Should you be unable to furnish the original promissory note or other valid documentation within 30 days from receipt of this letter, I request that you immediately cease reporting this account to any and all consumer credit reporting agencies and remove it from my credit file. The continued reporting of unsubstantiated debts is a violation of the FCRA and may also constitute fraud. If no response is received within the XXXX window, I will pursue all available legal actions to ensure compliance. 
Correction of Consumer Report : If your office decides to remove the accounts from my report, I request written confirmation of this removal, along with written verification from the credit bureaus that the accounts have been deleted. 
Further, this letter serves as a Formal Notice under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) : The unauthorized disclosure of my student loan-related information to consumer reporting agencies without my written consent may also be a violation of FERPA. I have not provided consent for such disclosure. Therefore, I demand immediate cessation of reporting and removal of all student loan-related accounts from my consumer report.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I have made several payments ( attempts ) with the most recent payment attempt on XX/XX/XXXX for {$50.00}. The payment was returned on XX/XX/XXXX, and appears as " Returned Mobile ACH Payment-CONA ''. This has been going on for at least 6 months now ( with one or two successful payments ) and is causing late fees and additional interest payments. I have plenty of $ $ $ in my account, so it's not because of insufficient funds, which what they are telling me. I even tried to make payments from my Capital One Checking account and there still was a returned payment, when the $ $ $ were available in that account. When I called about it they said the bank had to tell me what the issue was, and when I talked with the bank, they said they couldn't see an attempted payment, and it was something on the credit card side. This is still happening with a different checking account, and they can't seem to help me. I can pay other bills out of any of my checking accounts with no issues but not with my XXXX capital one cards. So there's an issue on their end and they are refusing to take the time to troubleshoot. I feel that all the late fees and additional interest should be reinbursed or credited to my account ( not to mention the reports to the credit bureaus ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
