Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My credit report shows late payments that arent accurate. A billing and reporting error from my bank has unfairly damaged my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must report payments accurately, yet a payment I made was not properly recorded, leading to an incorrect late mark on my report. Additionally, I was not given the required 21-day notice before the payment was due, making the late mark invalid. Ive asked the credit bureaus to provide proof of these late payments, but they havent given me any real documentation to back up the claim. Because of this, the incorrect information is still on my report, which is hurting my credit score.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against Equifax due to their failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation into an inaccurate and disputed account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( # XXXX ). 

Despite my previous dispute clearly outlining factual inaccuracies in balance history, payment reporting, and legal concerns over the potential re-aging of the debt, Equifax returned this item as " verified '' without providing any documentation or specifics of their investigation. They merely repeated what the furnisher reported, which violates multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Violations involved include but not limited to : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. No documentary evidence was provided to validate this debt.

FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy. The reported account includes conflicting balances and unverifiable payment data.

FCRA 605 ( c ) Re-aging of the charge-off date appears likely, as updates continue to show new activity, extending the negative impact beyond allowable timeframes.

FCRA 605B Following a documented Evolve Bank data breach, where my information was compromised, this account should have been removed unless proven with absolute certainty to be valid.

Equifax failed to provide any specifics about the furnisher 's response, which I explicitly requested in accordance with my rights under FCRA.

This is not just a consumer complaintit is about systemic non-compliance with federal law. Equifax continues to rely on unverifiable, automated furnisher responses instead of actual documentary evidence. This undermines the FCRAs intent and misleads the consumer. They have also been previously warned in CFPB enforcement actions for similar conduct, including a case against XXXX on XX/XX/scrub>, 2025, which I referenced in my letter.

State: MI

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.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My personal and financial information was compromised without my authorization. There has been much activity from employees of DOGE causing massive security breaches involving my information. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) protects the confidentiality of student records. This breach clearly violates FERPA and their responsibility to safeguard my information.

In addition to my account information being compromised, as of last week, I have been unable to log in or access my student loan with Mohela ( my loan provider ) as they have locked me out. They will
not accept any of my saved login information nor will they accept my social security number and birthdate as a way to access my account after being completely shut out. I am unable to reach anyone who can help.

I am deeply concerned about the access to my social security, personal information, and bank account information. I am currently unable to access any of my account in order to do anything to improve my safety.

I have also checked with my credit bureau ( since I can't see my loan ) and filed a complaint as I see unusual activity with my student loan status. It is negatively affecting my credit as of this month. I have never missed a payment and it is showing that my loan has INCREASED!!

I have also filed a case with Federal Student Aid regarding this issue.

Given the severity of this breach and resulting compromise to my personal and financial information, I request an immediate response from them and a cancellation or discharge of the debt. I also request a full shutdown of this website so it can not be continuously used or violated by persons without authorization.
