Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Formal Dispute Statement Bloomingdales Credit Card I am being billed for goods I do not possess due to deceptive practices involving XXXX loyalty reward system. I made purchases using promotional loyalty points that were applied automatically during checkout. I later returned those itemsbut instead of voiding the full transaction, XXXX recalibrated the points, voided the discount, and left me with a remaining balance for items I no longer have. 

Despite initiating multiple disputes and return confirmations, I am still being charged hundreds of dollars for merchandise that is not in my possession. The store representatives claim this is part of the loyalty program policy and that I didnt have to sign up, placing the burden on the customer rather than owning their convoluted and unethical billing model. 

This is the third time I have had to open a dispute.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I'm a XXXX  going on four years of service, working in a low-income school with students who are part of the lower 25 percentile academically and behaviorally. I've been overwhelmed by life and work, and while I received student loan communication, I was not in the mental or financial space to respond in time.

My loans have now negatively impacted my credit report, and it's become a major burden I can't even qualify for housing as I try to go back to school for my masters.

Im reaching out in hopes of getting help whether thats through public service loan forgiveness, deferment, or a reduction in monthly payments. Teachers like me dont earn much, and yet were expected to carry this load without options. I truly hope this can be looked into, and I can find a fair path forward.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

I attempted to contact customer support multiple times via [ email, phone, app ] to ask for clarification and the reason for the action, but I either received generic responses, the I filed a complaint but they responded with ( we decided to close your account ) without any explanation As a result, I have been unable to access my funds or use my account.

I recently contacted Wise again and was informed that I could pursue independent adjudication to resolve the matter. Since I'm in the U.S., Im now escalating the complaint through CFPB for assistance.

I would like Wise to : Explain the reason for the restriction and closure Restore access to my account Provide clearer communication and resolution timeline
