Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and this is not a third party filing this complaint. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the investigation practices of the three major credit bureaus : Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Many consumers, including myself, have experienced significant difficulties when dealing with inaccuracies in our credit reports and the subsequent investigations launched by these bureaus. 

Despite the Fair Credit Reporting Act requiring that these agencies conduct fair and thorough investigations into disputes, the reality has often been different. There are numerous reports from consumers suggesting that the investigation process is neither thorough nor transparent. Many disputes receive cursory reviews, with inadequate attention given to supporting evidence provided by consumers. 

Additionally, the timelines for resolving disputes appear to be frequently extended, with little communication from the bureaus regarding the status of these investigations. This lack of transparency fosters distrust and raises questions about whether consumers ' rights are being adequately protected. 

The practices employed by these credit bureaus can have serious repercussions on consumers access to credit, employment opportunities, and overall financial health. As such, I urge the CFPB to investigate these practices and ensure that the rights of consumers are upheld. It is vital that these agencies adhere to regulations and provide consumers with the protection they deserve.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 ( 2 ) 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.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the Korean Air Skypass XXXX card from US Bank on XX/XX/year>, because it offered a XXXX miles bonus if I spent {$4000.00} within 90 days. 

I used the card normally in XXXX and paid the balance. However, in XXXX, I discovered that my card had been blocked without any notice when I tried to purchase XXXX XXXX flight tickets for my parents through a travel agency on XX/XX/XXXX. That purchase alone would have fulfilled the {$4000.00} requirement. But the card was declined. 

US Bank later told me they froze the card because the bank account I used to pay the initial bill had a business name that didnt match mine, even though the payment had already gone through. Despite this being their internal issue, they never informed me of the block or gave me a chance to fix it in time. 

I spent over a month calling several departments and resending documents XXXX times. The card was finally unblocked in early XXXX, but by then, I had only a few weeks left before the XX/XX/XXXX deadline, and I could no longer meet the spending requirement. 

I asked US Bank several times if they could honor the bonus miles, given that the situation was caused by their actionsnot mine. But all I got was the same answer : If you didnt spend {$4000.00} in XXXX  days, you dont get the bonusno exceptions. I even asked to speak with a supervisor, and a representative said someone would call or email me. No one ever followed up. 

This experience caused emotional stress, wasted my time, and led to financial loss. I believe the bank used a promotional offer in bad faith, and then blocked my ability to meet the conditions, without accountability or communication. 

I am asking for : 1. The XXXX bonus miles to be honored ; 2. A formal explanation and apology for the mishandling of this situation ; 3. Compensation for the time and frustration caused by this issue.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against MOHELA regarding the misapplication of student loan payments and improper interest capitalization.

I have five Direct Unsubsidized Loans. I remained on Auto Pay and in good standing during all periods, including the CARES Act forbearance window ( XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ), during which interest was supposed to be set at 0 %. 
Despite this, MOHELA : Charged me interest during forbearance periods Capitalized that interest, adding it to my principal Reported inflated balances to the credit bureaus Misapplied payments by applying most of them to interest rather than reducing principal My audit shows that my actual balances are inflated by over {$19000.00} when compared to what they should be based on disbursed amounts and repayments.

I have attached a PDF report breaking down these discrepancies loan-by-loan. I am requesting : Immediate correction of all loan balances Refund or reversal of all improperly capitalized interest An investigation into MOHELAs practices This is a potential violation of the CARES Act and federal servicing guidelines. Please take urgent action.
