Complaint narrative:
This company used my forged signature on documents in order to securitize assets for an unjust enrichment. They are not the true owners of the original note, therefore do not have rights as a holder in due course, entitled to enforce the collection. This company marked this account as written off, a profit and loss. They have received the federal tax benefit, yet are still attempting to leverage the credit as an asset in violation of both IRS ASC 326-20 and 26 USC 166 .

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: MOHELA
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I was enrolled in auto-pay for my Mohela-serviced federal student loans, but between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, no payments were drafted from my account despite auto-pay being active. I did not receive any notification from Mohela that there was an issue with my account or that payments were not being withdrawn. 

As a result, Mohela reported multiple late payments across my accounts, significantly damaging my credit. I only discovered this when I checked my credit report, and by that point, the missed payments had already been reported.

These late marks do not reflect my actual intent or financial behavior I was relying on the auto-pay system provided by Mohela and had no knowledge of the issue until long after. Im requesting that these inaccurate delinquencies be removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
These accounts are being reported under my name without my knowledge, consent, or authorization. I have never opened, managed, or permitted anyone to open these accounts on my behalf. This is a serious violation and entirely unacceptable, as it results in false and misleading information being associated with my credit profile. 

I take the integrity of my credit report extremely seriously. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is both distressing and damaging.

Company: The J. G. Wentworth Company
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Hello to all concerned, Last year I enrolled in debt consolidation with JG Wentworth. We came to terms. To date I have paid 9 times without a miss while supplying them my late notices of how much is due and where they want it sent and the new assignments of debt if it goes to collections. Thought I was doing great. XXXX bills sent me and XXXX bills paid. But last month seemingly something went wrong? Was told I needed to sign a new settlement contract for XXXX XXXX XXXX  which where issued by my bank. Thought great, almost done now. Have XXXX more to go after this. When I clicked on the link supplied it brought me to a lawyers name and then I clicked on a button or tab that Said " I ACCEPT '' and that was it. Seemed almost too easy so I emailed customer service right away and let them know I hit the accept tab but it did not take me into a long contract? For this reason I asked if they could check and verify it was completed satisfactorily. Was told they would let me know if they needed anything. Over the last XXXX weeks I have asked or double checked more than a half a dozen times only to get an answer back from my original salesman stating tat if I can't sign the agreements they offer he can't help me. 

So I asked for help, verified I hit I accept but suggested the contract process did not seem long enough only to learn it XXXX weeks later from someone else. 

Why would I give them money 9 months in a row as part of a larger plan if I didn't want it to work? I want it to work. I asked for verification the contracts on XXXX worked the first day and a half of dozen times since only to find out they may be using it to keep my money. 

XXXX payments of $ XXXX {$4000.00} paid that I don't want to lose because someone sent me a bad link that was reported the same day. 

Now I am waiting to see if they will send me another contract or just keep my money. 

It doesn't seem to hard for them to do it right so why the problems?

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and bring to your attention a serious concern regarding a potential or confirmed data breach involving my personal information. It has come to my attention that my sensitive data may have been compromised because of inadequate data security measures on your part. Under federal and state consumer protection laws, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), and applicable state data breach notification laws, companies are required to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect consumers personal information and to promptly notify them in the event of a breach. I believe your company has failed to uphold these responsibilities, resulting in potential harm to my financial and personal privacy. If this breach has resulted in fraudulent activity on my credit file, financial accounts, or otherwise, I am requesting that you immediately : 1. Provide a detailed account of the data that was compromised ; 2. Disclose the date and method by which the breach occurred ; 3. Explain the steps your organization is taking to remediate the situation ; 4. Provide documentation of your compliance with data protection laws ; 5. Correct any errors on my credit file caused by this breach ; 6. Provide complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for a minimum of 12 months. Please be advised that I am aware of my rights under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), which allows me to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. You are required to investigate and respond to this dispute within 30 days of receipt. Failure to do so may result in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), and/or my states Attorney General. Please respond to this dispute in writing within 30 days. If you fail to respond or resolve this issue promptly, I reserve the right to pursue further legal action.
