Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of a Southwest collection currently being reported on my credit file. Upon recently reviewing my credit reports, I was shocked to find this account is still listed despite having been fully paid. It was my understanding that upon payment, Southwest Collection would remove the tradeline from my credit report. However, this collection remains, inaccurately reflecting a negative status and negatively impacting my credit profile. As a result, I have been unable to secure credit and it is jeopardizing my ability to obtain approval for a home loan.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I wrote a letter to the Dept. of Education stating the following : I am formally writing you all to lodge a complaint regarding the unauthorized access and breach of my educational records, financial aid data, and IRS tax information by the U.S. Department of Education ( DOE ) and the Department of Governmental Entities ( DOGE ). This breach constitutes a direct violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) and Title IV regulations, as well as an egregious violation of my personal privacy and financial security.

Recently, I discovered that my sensitive and legally protected records accessed, and potentially shared without my consent. This includes but is not limited to the following : Academic records and personally identifiable information ( PII ).

My Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) data, including financial aid history and loan information.

The acquired and utilization of my IRS tax transcripts without proper authorization.

These actions violate my rights under FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ), which grants me the right to control access to my educational records, as well as Title IV of the Higher Education Act, which governs the use and protection of federal student aid information. Furthermore, unauthorized access to my IRS tax data raises serious concerns regarding potential identity theft, fraud, and violations of federal data security standards.

Complaint narrative:
Im a senior attending XXXX XXXX XXXX with expected graduation on XX/XX/year>. On or about XX/XX/year>, I applied for a position as a XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX  at XXXX XXXX XXXX  to work for XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I was then notified by XXXX XXXX team that I had been selected for this position. 

On or about XX/XX/year>, XXXX Payroll Department emailed me check number XXXX in the amount of {$2700.00} drawn on XXXX XXXX, routing number XXXX, account number XXXX as authorized by XXXX XXXX, I was then told by XXXX XXXX team that I was to deposit this check in my personal bank account. I was also told by XXXX XXXX team that {$400.00} of the {$2700.00} payment would be my earnings. 

As instructed, I deposited this fraudulent check on XX/XX/year> electronically by remote deposit without any hesitation because the check appeared authentic. My bank, Golden One Credit Union received the deposit and released {$500.00} to me in cash from this initial deposit. 

On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX, team further directed me to purchase XXXX XXXX Gift card in the amount of {$500.00}. Since XXXX doesnt sell gift cards in {$500.00} increments, I purchased XXXX cards totaling {$500.00} ; XXXX cards for $ XXXX and XXXX card for $ XXXX. 

On XX/XX/year> the remaining balance of the check which was {$2200.00} was made available for my use. 

After purchasing the first {$500.00} worth of gift cards, XXXX XXXX team waited until the remaining deposit in the amount of {$2200.00} cleared my bank account. 

On XX/XX/year> when the balance was available, I was then directed to purchase XXXX more cards totaling {$1500.00} in {$500.00} increments. As before, I couldnt purchase these cards in {$500.00} increments so I proceeded by purchasing XXXX cards for $ XXXX and XXXX cards for $ XXXX. I purchased a total of {$2000.00} in XXXX gift cards. 

On XX/XX/year> I was directed to purchase XXXX additional XXXX Gift Card in the amount of {$300.00}. I didnt make this purchase as this whole misadventure began to feel strange. 

On XX/XX/year>, I was informed by Golden One Credit Union that the check I deposited was returned by XXXX XXXX as un-payable. This check was fraudulent. Golden One Credit Union is holding me liable for payment of a check that I did not initiate. Golden One Credit Union is threatening me and my family with legal action and they have now frozen my account and I dont have access to my money. As the victim of this fraud, what is supposed to be a time of celebrating my college graduation, has now become my worse nightmare. What are my rights under the law and what are the limits of my liability? Please help me to clear this crime.

I am expressing my concerns regarding our efforts to work with our servicer in mitigating a loss. We have demonstrated our hardship and have formally requested assistance. 
The servicer has approved us to participate in a short sale as the offers received for the property do not align with the amount we now owe. During XXXX, we required support and received several partial claims. 
Despite our documented hardships, the servicer is citing excessive repair to block the short sale, yet the property was in this state when the funds were provided. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint regarding Equifax inaccurate reporting of child support obligations on my credit report, originating from the Florida Department of Revenue. This reporting is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under prima facie law, I possess the right to accurate and fair reporting of my financial obligations, free from erroneous or incomplete information. The inclusion of child support information, especially when inaccurately reflected or without verification, breaches this obligation. I have concrete evidence disproving the claim and demonstrating the reporting as unsubstantiated and misleading. I respectfully request the CFPBs intervention to investigate this matter and ensure that Equifax and the NY Department of Revenue take corrective actions. The removal of this unauthorized entry is crucial to protect my financial integrity and uphold my rights under the FCRA.
