Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. I consolidated my loans to FedLoans per the guidance from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program back in XXXX. This was prior to a payment tracker since the program was still in its infancy. All the years prior to consolidation are missing. I filed a complaint here and they responded that they didn't count because I was in deferment which is 100 % not true and I can prove it. In XXXX, the program moved the annual income based repayment application to the FSA website. In XXXX, I re-certified my annual IBR repayment plan on the FSA website. How could I re-certify my annual income based repayment plan if I was in forebearance?? Also, I filed a freedom of information act request to get my call records and it shows that I called, requested that I was not on forebearance, filled out the form to waive it and I entered repayment ( and verified I was on repayment in the call logs as well ). It is incredibly frustrating I have to go through all these hoops filing freedom of information act requests and pulling my entire income based repayment history just to prove what happened. I want those years added on my history that I have proven over and over that were 1 ) in repayment 2 ) in an eligible repayment plan and 3 ) are certified by my employer already. I enter repayment next month and if those months are added as they should be, I would be done with my 120 months ( I have XXXX and XXXX now ). Please make them do the right thing here. I attached proof I requested, entered and recertified my IBR eligible plan in XXXX and my calls logs going back prior to that waving forbearance and entering IBR. Maybe MOHELA is confused looking at the history because I was at $ XXXX  monthly payment during that time period but it was not forbearance and my attachments prove it.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I hereby dispute the current payment status and remark comment associated with my credit report for NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION for a Credit Limit of {$9000.00}. The remark comment indicates " Payment after charge off/collection, '' and I believe that this information is inaccurate and does not reflect the true status of this account. 

The length of the placement in regard to my Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remark comment demonstrates that at all times the credit reporting agency and furnisher knowingly and recklessly violated the FCRA. 

I would like to clarify the following points : Payment History : Contrary to the remark comment, I want to emphasize that I have not made any payments on this account after it was Charged off or sent to Collections. Therefore, it is inaccurate to suggest that there have been any payments made in this regard to support a Current Payment Status as Charged off or sent to Collections. 


Current Status : While this account may have had a Charge-off or Collection status in the past, it is essential to note that it has been resolved, and there is no outstanding balance or active Collection effort related to this account. This would make the Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remarks being reported as Charged off or sent to Collections inaccurate and false. 


Considering this information, I demand that my credit report be updated to report only accurate account information in regard to my Payment History for Current Payment Status and Remark comment. I respectfully request that you immediately investigate and rectify the Current Payment Status and Remark comment associated with this account. It is crucial that my credit report accurately reflects the status of my financial obligations, and the current Remark comment is not only misleading but is not being accurately reported as required by law and is detrimental to my creditworthiness. 


In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 1681s-2, I exercise my right to dispute any inaccurate information on my credit report. Please conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide a written response within 30 days, as required by law, informing me of the results of your investigation and any actions taken. 


Thank you for your prompt attention to this dispute. Failure to properly dispute this information pertaining to the Remark comment will result in a request to the IRS for a review of the missing 1099-C in support of Charge-off tax requirements. I anticipate the correction of the inaccurate current payment status remark comment on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a corespodence from bread rewards credit card. Enclosed was a new credit card with a new account number and a new member Inception date. 
This card is apparently replacing the Comenity.net credit card on XX/XX/2023. 
I attempted to contact Bread rewards credit card customer service and was notified that the number would not be available to customers until XX/XX/XXXX. 
I then contacted the comenity.net credit card customer service. 
My concern and complaint is that due to no fault of my own this closure of the comenity.net credit card is going to have a negative impact upon my credit history as the comenity.net credit card is my longest standing credit card with several years of positive history. Additionally if I activate the new bread rewards card on XX/XX/XXXX it will reflect on my credit the new account and I will lose all of the positive history that I previously worked very hard for. 
I contacted comenity.net credit card customer service line three different times on XX/XX/2023 and received different conflicting information each time I spoke to a different customer service representative with these concerns. I then contacted cfpb and was advised that there are two options for the credit card company and them options being to close an account or to continue reporting an account, according to the law there is no gray area to continue to report the history as the credit card changes to a different account all together. 
On one call with comenity.net supervisor XXXX she advised me that there will be no impact to my credit score or history and that this transition from One credit card to the next is seamless with no impact to the consumers. 
This being decieving as there is not an option to report new account information on an old account history. 
There is zero mention of the potential impact to consumer credit as a result of this change, in the information bread rewards credit card sent in the mail.

There is zero information on the comenity bank website about this matter either.
