Consumer complaint received 2025-06-16 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CC : Experian Consumer Relations Subject : Unauthorized Hard Inquiry XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/year> ) Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian and XXXX XXXX regarding an unauthorized hard inquiry listed on my Experian credit report, dated XX/XX/year>. 

I did not authorize XXXX XXXX to access my credit file for any credit application or permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Therefore, this hard inquiry violates my rights under FCRA, as it was conducted without my knowledge or consent. 

According to the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies may only furnish credit reports when a legitimate and verifiable purpose exists. Since I did not initiate or approve any credit transaction with XXXX XXXX, this inquiry represents an unauthorized access and may constitute a breach of privacy. 

I request that : XXXX. Experian immediately remove this unauthorized inquiry from my credit report ; XXXX. XXXX XXXX provide written documentation proving that I consented to this credit inquiry ; and XXXX. An investigation be initiated into this matter and a formal response be provided. 

Please find the inquiry details below : Creditor : XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> Type : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX : ( XXXX ) XXXX This unauthorized inquiry has negatively impacted my credit profile. I am asserting my rights under FCRA 604 ( a ) and demand appropriate corrective actions be taken. 

I have also submitted this complaint to Experian directly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Email : [ XXXX ] Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a {$240.00} debit card transaction on my Wells Fargo account ending in XXXX ( Claim XXXX XXXX ) for services that were not rendered as described. I clearly stated in my original claim that I had evidence available to support the dispute and was willing to provide it when requested. However, Wells Fargo never contacted me to collect this evidence and proceeded to deny the claim based solely on internal review and the merchants statement! 

I was told by a representative that because the merchant used XXXX to process the payment, the funds could not be recoveredthis is incorrect. XXXX is a third-party processor and has no bearing on whether a dispute should be properly investigated under Regulation E. 

XXXXells Fargos failure to collect the customers side of the evidence constitutes an unreasonable investigation and a violation of my consumer rights under 12 CFR 1005 ( Regulation E ). I have since requested the documentation they used to make this decision and asked for a reinvestigation, but they have stated the dispute can not be reopened.

I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that Wells Fargo follows proper procedures and allows me to submit my evidence before debiting my account for {$240.00}. I also request that the provisional credit not be removed until this is fully resolved.

Company: MOHELA

Complaint narrative:
Over a decade ago I had to borrow XXXX XXXX  to go to college, when I was no longer in School I was instantly hit with around {$1200.00} a month payments on the loan. I was unaware they were interest only, they have repeatedly moved other borrowers as well as myself toward forbearance and other repayments that did not touch the principle. In short I borrowed {$32000.00}, have paid back over {$47000.00} and still owe {$34000.00} and change, almost tripling the original amount. 

Interest Capitalization Without Clear Disclosure Violation of TILA ( 15 U.S.C. 1638 ) : Failure to clearly disclose interest capitalization terms constitutes a breach of Truth in Lending Act.

Misapplication & Reversals of Payments Multiple instances of payment reversals without documentation or just cause Payments failing to reduce principal balances effectively Violations of the Higher Education Act ( 34 CFR 682.209 ) : Improper allocation of payments Potential CFPB UDAAP Violations : Unfair and deceptive practices Fees Applied During Forbearance or Grace Periods Late fees charged during : Post-disbursement grace periods ( Loan 3 in XXXX ) Known forbearance periods ( e.g., XXXX, XXXX ) FDCPA 808 Violations : Charging unlawful fees NYS GBL 349 : Deceptive business practices under state law Pattern of Inadequate Principal Reduction Despite over {$47000.00} in payments, loan principal has barely decreased Outstanding balance remains above original amounts in some cases Payments were frequently applied to interest and fees first, even when current In many cases, partial or non-standard payments were not allocated to principal, but either reapplied as fees or adjusted without explanation Instances show full payments recorded, then reversed, then reapplied with XXXX principal impact Systematic Mismanagement : Constitutes deceptive conduct per federal ( CFPB ) and state statutes
