Company: MOHELA
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint through Consumer Finance because I applied to be placed on an ICR plan in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  with no movement. I received a response back on XX/XX/XXXX, that my IBR plan request had been escalated. Today, I spoke to a representative after waiting XXXX hours on hold who said that the escalation was cancelled because there are new ICR plan requests in process.

The ICR plan requests post XXXX, were placed by the advice of the Mohela representatives who I spoke to over the course of 9 months. Each of whom advised me to submit a new ICR request for various reasons These reasons provided were the following : Mohela couldnt find the original ICR request so submit again ICR is not available past XXXX so you need to apply for IBR again Mohela can now process applications again as of XX/XX/XXXX so you should apply again I spoke to these two representatives who confirmed that Mohela does in fact have my application from XX/XX/XXXX and it would be the first to process so it wouldn't matter if others were submitted : Mohela Supervisor ID Number : XXXX Mohela Customer Support : XXXX I only applied again for the ICR plans at the advice of the Mohela representatives. PLEASE, I am begging you to put me on the XXXX plan. I am supposed to be done with PLSF forgiveness this XXXX and I have been in limbo since XXXX. I have called and spoken to at least a dozen representatives, and I have emailed many times usually with no response. Every representative is giving me different advice at Mohela.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Torriere Holdings INC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I sent you a letter explaining that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g ( Validating Debts ) : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector.

I must remind you that in my previous letter I requested the following information : ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; ( 4 ) Proof that you are licensed to collect debts in ( insert name of your state ) I also requested that if you have reported me to any credit reporting agency, that you inform them that I have placed this debt in dispute and to provide me with proof that you have done so. Furthermore, I asked that you immediately send a copy of that dispute letter to the company ( creditor ) that you say I owe money so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt. 

As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 

Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed. You may consider this letter your official notification that I do not intend to correspond with you on this matter again unless you comply with my requests, the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
