Complaint narrative:
Iam a victim of identity theft. Only on my Experian credit file. I reported as soon as I was contacted from my XXXX XXXX credit watch service. I have never done had this happen before. I told Experian the account was not mine, so they filed a dispute instead of removing the fraud. So after that they let this same company XXXX charge my credit file three more times. I was shocked. I filed four police reports you have to file one for each incident, I sent everything to Experian they just kept telling me the company said its mine, and I needed to contact the company. I contacted the company after the first incident, the two people I spoke with assured me the account would be removed, none of my information matched what they had on file, I even wrote a email Thanking them for being so kind and assuring me the account would be deleted. I have been working so hard on my credit so I can buy a home, now its ruined XXXX points down. I dont really know what else to do, but fill the information out here, as well as with the Federal Trade Commission , and obtain legal counsel. This is my life. This was not me, I pay my bills on time every month for years. Please Help Me. Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about a misleading email communication I received from Experian, which seems not only to deviate from the high standards that consumers expect from a reputable organization like yours but also to be in violation of legal mandates. 

* Misleading Subject Line : The email was titled " XXXX, you have 2 new credit alerts to review. '' Given the urgency and importance that such a message implies, I was naturally inclined to check its contents immediately. To my dismay, the main body of the email discussed an inconsequential balance change on a revolving credit line. This discrepancy between the subject line and the actual content is misleading and gives a false sense of urgency to a potential non-issue. 

* Directing to Paid Service : Clicking on any link within the said email redirected me to a page promoting and selling Experian 's $ XXXXmonth monitoring service. It's evident that the main intention behind this communication was to lead recipients toward purchasing a paid service, leveraging the urgency of the falsely advertised " credit alerts. '' * Absence of Unsubscribe Option : The email lacked an " unsubscribe '' link or option, which is a significant oversight, especially in marketing communications. This absence is not only a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act but also contravenes the settlement reached in the XX/XX/2023 case of the United States of America vs. ConsumerInfo.com , Inc . It's alarming to witness such a disregard for legal obligations, especially given the gravity of the aforementioned case.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, Mr Cooper, my mortgage holder was sent a payment specificly sent to be applied to my escrow account. This payment was to be applied to the escrow to reduce my mortgage payment due to an increase in hazard insurance that caused my mortgage to go up {$400.00} a month!! They used the money for the late payment. I can't put my escrow balance for the required holding amount onto the end of my loan if I do a workout plan. 

I don't understand how or why the can use they money how they WANT and not how it was instructed to be used and sent??? 

After my hazard insurance went up and I was dropped from XXXX XXXX after XXXX years, I have learned more about this than I wish. 

Hope you can tell me that they can't do this ....

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: MOHELA
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
When my loans were consolidated with MOHELA, I had a standard payment of {$180.00}. I applied for the SAVE repayment plan when applications opened on XX/XX/2023. MOHELA quoted a repayment price of about {$120.00}. When the application was processed, MOHELA did not process it for SAVE, which was indicated on the application, but instead processed it for Income Contingent Repayment. My new payment is now {$220.00}. The terms of Income-based Repayment from the Department of Education state that any income-driven repayment plan can not exceed the standard repayment rate. When I contacted MOHELA to have this resolved, I was informed that the original quoted repayment amount was " just an estimate, '' and that I would have to pay the new payment plan.
