Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: MOHELA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding my student loan, which originated at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Since the loan was first taken out, it has been transferred between multiple servicers. I am now receiving statements from the current loan company, but I have no access to the original loan documents, the original loan balance, or any historical payment or interest records. 

I was not clearly informed at the time of borrowing how interest would accrue, and I only recently became aware that compounded interest was significantly increasing the total balance. The current amount owed is much higher than I expected, and without access to my full loan history or original disclosures, I am unable to verify its accuracy. 

I have attempted to contact my current loan servicer for a full accounting but have not received sufficient records or explanations. I believe this lack of transparency and borrower access violates the spirit of fair loan servicing practices.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, pursuant to XXXX XXXX. XXXX. I am requesting that this information be blocked or removed immediately. Attached to this letter is my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to the referenced law, when a consumer submits a valid identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following account listed on my credit report is the direct result of identity theft and must be blocked immediately : XXXX - XXXX XXXX  - XXXX In accordance with XXXX U.S.C. XXXX, I respectfully request that this account be blocked from my credit file without delay. The block should remain in place for a period of XXXX year, with the option to extend if needed. During this period, no information related to this account XXXX be reported. 
I have made multiple attempts to contact EXPERIAN to report this issue, but I have not received a clear or satisfactory resolution. 
I am currently going through a difficult financial time, and these accounts are seriously affecting my ability to achieve financial stability for myself and my family. 
Its important to note that other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts due to lack of verification, so I do not understand why this agency continues to report them as valid. Furthermore, I requested copies of any contracts or documents supposedly linking me to these accounts, and more than XXXX  days have passed without a response. 
I kindly ask for your support and understanding, and I urge you to take immediate action to block or remove these accounts. This situation is causing significant personal and financial harm.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting a suspicious phone call I received on XX/XX/year>, which I believe XXXX have been an attempt to collect a debt. The caller did not identify themselves in any way. They did not provide a name, company, or the reason for the call. They simply began speaking vaguely, and when I asked for clarification or identification, the caller refused and eventually ended the call. 

At no point during the call did they mention that they were a debt collector, nor did they provide any information about a debt or a creditor. I have not received any written communication or voicemail identifying the nature of the call or confirming their identity. 

This lack of transparency was concerning and felt like either a scam or a violation of my consumer rights under federal law. 

Legal Concerns : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ), debt XXXX are required to : Disclose their identity as a debt collector, Provide the name of the company they represent, Inform the consumer of the purpose of the call, Provide notice of the debt in writing within XXXX days of the initial contact. 

Failure to do so violates the law. This caller did none of the above.

Issue: Repossession — Damage caused or loss of personal items in vehicle during the actual repossession
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Repossession Practices and Withholding of Personal Property To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against Capital One Auto Finance regarding the repossession of my vehicle a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX : XXXX ). While the vehicle was purchased in Georgia, it was recently repossessed in California. Capital One has refused to disclose the location of my vehicle or the identity of the repossession agency, despite repeated requests. 

Critically, my work-issued laptop remains inside the vehicle. I have just started a new position, and this equipment is vital to fulfilling my job responsibilities. The failure to facilitate the recovery of my personal property has jeopardized my income and employment. 

Capital One 's actions appear to violate consumer protection statutes in both states : Georgia Code 44-14-411.1 : Repossession agents must notify the owner and preserve personal belongings for at least 30 days. 

California B & P Code 7507.9 : Requires agents to inventory, store items for no less than 60 days, and provide notice within 48 to 96 hours of repossession.

California Civil Code 2983.2 : Establishes a debtor 's right to retrieve property before disposal. 

The absence of transparency and refusal to provide location or access may also raise concerns under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) if applicable.

I respectfully request the CFPB to investigate Capital Ones repossession practices and require them to disclose the vehicle 's location and facilitate the immediate return of my personal items. 

This is the Company I think that has my car but no one is answering XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
