Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I noticed that I am starting to receive collection mails from banks. I called and asked what is going on, and I was told that there are several accounts opened last year with my information. I told them that I have never submitted any types of application to their companies. They asked my address, email address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, and name. Surprisingly, Some of cards mailed to my business addresses, and some of them were mailed to my home in the state of XXXX. However, I never received those cards before. I travel from state to state for my business, so I couldn't check my mailbox everyday. Maybe someone got access to my mailbox and took the card after they applied for it. But that does not mean that I am responsible for these cards ' payments and outstanding balances. I already informed what is happening, and I also submitted FTC report to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. It has been about few months now, but I see no changes in my credit report. As a business owner, I was planning to expand my business in other state this year, but with current status of my credit report -- full of credit cards that I have never applied for -- I can't even get any commercial loan. I am not sure what my credit bureaus are doing, but although I submitted all documents they requested ( copy of my driver 's license, social security card, utility bill, and FTC report ), I see no efforts of my credit bureaus. Everything remains same, no updates, nothing. My most recent dispute case closed with the result of " these are correct information '' did not explain anything. I don't know what kind of document or verification document they received from credit card companies, but I never got a chance to look at it. I asked if they can send me a copy of what they have, but they rejected my request and said : unfortunately we can not provide you any documents from creditors due to privacy information. Well, they started dispute case because they were able to verify that I am the one who submitted these disputes. Then how come they can not provide me any proof for privacy issue? Representatives said that they sent out a mail explaining everything, but the result letter did not explain anything. I just saw a letter saying their investigation concluded as " they are all correct information. '' BUT HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO AGREE WITH INVESTIGATION RESULT WITHOUT ANY PROOF? I don't even know how identity thief obtained my information, what kind of information was submitted. I can't understand or agree with their process of investigation. As a result, they made me come to you ( CFPB ) and to ask for help with my current status. I never applied for any credit cards with these companies.

Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I received notification of 4 transactions totaling {$440.00}. I contacted my credit card company ( Upgrade ) the next morning to dispute the charges. They credit company reversed the charges upon review. Today, I received an email saying the dispute was declined, because I benefitted from the transactions. The credit card company then provided the information of the transactions. I called the merchant number ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and they informed me that thought their merchant name and number was on the transaction info, my name and phone number had XXXX transaction history. I contacted Upgrade Credit Card again to show them the website had several complaints about fraudulent charges around the same time frame as my fraudulent charges were made. I also told them the email in the transaction history is not mine, nor have I ever seen that email. Also the purchase IP address is located in XXXX, XXXX and I do no live in XXXX.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
MOHELA is my loan servicer. I called MOHELA to find out if my payments for each month would go towards my PSLF timeline as I am a government employee. They indicated that because my loan is in forbearance, any payments made while in forbearance are not eligible for PSLF. They indicated that my loan would need to be changed to the repayment status in order for payments to count towards PSLF. I then requested to have my loan status be taken from forbearance and changed to in repayment. They told me this change would take 78 days to take effect. I was notified that payments made during the transition would not count for PSLF and while it is transitioning out of forbearance, I should not make any payments. I then received a bill from MOHELA in the first week of XXXX stating I need to make a payment of {$260.00}. I checked my loan status at this point and it still said in forbearance. I then called MOHELA and asked why I am being asked to pay if my loan is in forbearance when I was told to not make a payment until the change is in effect. They stated to me to not worry about it and not to pay it. They also stated the balance would just carry over and stay the same, not add up each month of the transition time. They DID NOT indicate that the balance would increase and I would show as delinquent in my payments. They told me this would not happen but it did. I owe {$530.00} and am showing delinquency of missed payment. They misled me with information which is resulting in me owing more and making an impact on my credit report. They did not say that during the transition, that the monthly payment would continue to add up. Ultimately this means that when I am in the repayment status, I will owe for all the previous months the transition was taking place in and still be showing as delinquent. I clearly was misled by the company and feel this is a form a fraud to extort more money out of money with misinformation. They also stated I would be emailed with notification that my student loan is officially in repayment. I got no notification of this and was left under the impression that I am still in forbearance, considering the fact that it had not been 78 days since the request and I did not receive any form of notification.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, FEMA changed the flood zone map for our property ; not significantly. Just slightly. The XXXX map, like the new XXXX map, shows a small portion of dirt on our 2 acre property to be in the flood zone. The home is significantly elevated from this portion of land and literally on the other side of the property- clearly NOT in the flood zone. Somehow, our mortgage provider decided unilaterally we needed to insure a corner of dirt on our property that has never been, and never needed, insurance. They threatened to take out a policy for us. They told us today ( XXXX in customer service ) that FEMA contacted *them* to require us to get insurance, which we find quite hard to believe. It feels like extortion to us. We do not need insurance for a small portion of dirt. We have started the process with FEMA to get the maps necessary but that- they say- will take two months. Mr Cooper refuses to look at the maps showing that our HOME IS NOT IN THE FLOOD ZONE! In fact, the majority of the property isn't in the flood zone. We have maps we can send. These extortion like practices have to stop.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance. Thus, I strongly advocate for the expedited removal of this account in accordance with the law, unless sufficient evidence is promptly provided to validate its legitimacy. Failure to address this issue promptly only exacerbates the frustration stemming from the disregard for legal standards.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding their failure to delete a disputed debt from my credit report. The debt in question stems from identity theft, and despite my repeated attempts to dispute its validity, Experian has failed to take appropriate action. 

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), it is illegal for a debt to be sold or transferred without the debtor 's consent. As this debt is a result of identity theft, it is imperative that Experian follows the necessary procedures outlined in the FDCPA to rectify this issue promptly. 

I have provided all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claim of identity theft, yet Experian has neglected to uphold their obligations under the law. If the correct actions are not taken this time to rectify the situation and delete the disputed debt from my credit report, I will have no choice but to pursue litigation to ensure my rights are upheld and the matter is resolved appropriately. 

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX for their failure to comply with the FDCPA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
