Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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.

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter to Nelnet letting them know that my school loan was a violation of 34 CFR Part 99, FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS & PRIVACY. NELNET has violated my Right to Privacy which they have looked over and continued to report on my credit profile a debt. I told them in XXXX that this debt was discharged. I filed a 1099-C to cancel out the debt, which the IRS accepted on XX/XX/year>. They have yet to update my credit report as amount in full. 

I would also like the CFPB to know that I have done my due diligence and was made aware that when I applied for this school loan, I signed a promissory note. Now on that promissory note, it contained my signature, which gave that note value. The note was processed as a security to be deposited to the treasury for complete payment of the loan. XXXX XXXX XXXX processed that security and was paid from my account. Also, they would trade this security on the secondary market over XXXX times, making trillions off my signature. NELNET is now asking for the amount of XXXX as they are now doubling back to get more money from me, when they were already paid once I signed my signature. Now as an investor I was not compensated my XXXX  % according to Securities Exchange for trading my security on the market as a security now where is my money owed to me. NELNET sends me a statement every month which is a book entry security which is evidence of a bond. Now NELNET wants unlawful money paid to them in Federal Reserve Notes. I can not pay you in FRN 's because that would not settle the debt. However again the debt was paid already by my signature. 

If this loan is not settled for the full amount, I will notify the SECURITIES EXCHANGE as a whistleblower, of how you have stolen my Securities and have not compensated me for them. I will also have to notify the IRS that you have filed a 1099 on me every year. I have filed a 1099-C and the loan is a certificate of indebtness, it can not be reported on your credit because the debt was cancelled. Please update my credit profile to the loan was paid in full and delete all negative marks associated with this account.
