Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on my TransUnion credit profile and I noticed there are incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation supporting my dispute. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

The INCORRECT addresses that should be deleted are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX. 

Please keep in mind that Congress ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) makes it clear that I have a right to privacy. Privacy is not defined because only I can define what privacy is to me.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

Under the subsection 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) the reporting agency does not have my written instructions to report anything. The code says they need permissible purpose in accordance with written instructions. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) do not have my written permission and this should be removed accordingly. 

I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. 

I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The company has been provided with an official student loan deferment document that was signed by a school administrator. The company refuses to cooperate with federal laws that govern credit reporting.

I would like to reference these credit laws/act that protect consumers against negative reporting by bureaus and creditors. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) - The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and complete credit reports for consumers. If you believe that the late payments on your federal student loans account are being reported inaccurately, you can dispute the information with the credit reporting agencies under the FCRA. 

The Higher Education Act - The Higher Education Act includes provisions related to the reporting of student loans to credit reporting agencies. Specifically, the Act requires that credit reporting agencies remove any negative credit reporting related to a defaulted federal student loan if the borrower enters into a rehabilitation agreement and makes nine on-time payments in a ten-month period. 

The Department of Education 's Credit Reporting Guidance - The Department of Education provides guidance to loan servicers regarding the reporting of federal student loans to credit reporting agencies. This guidance includes information about how late payments should be reported and may provide grounds for disputing any inaccurate information on your credit report.

It is completely within the rights of Chime to end our banking relationship. Would I have appreciated the details of my infraction? Absolutely. 

Due to the unfortunate circumstance, I have been in contact with my attorney, and are currently looking into taking legal action against Chime.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet is my student loan servicer. I was part of the XXXX vs. XXXX class action law suit. This case won, I was awarded {$45000.00}. Nelnet has taken this amount and applied it to my student loans. These loans were discharged. My wages were garnished in XXXX and XXXX and I made other payments. I am to receive a full refund for all payments made. Nelenet has deleted all of my payment history, statements ( only 2 statements show XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) and loan details. I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, the school was fraudulent, hence the discharge. Nelnet won't give me a straight answer on how much my refund amount is? They have deleted federal documents which is against the law. I talked to the federal student aid customer service and was told Nelnet can get into big trouble for deleting federal documents, and they should not be able to delete any information on students accounts. Please help me get my refund and punitive damages. Nelnet is hiding and deleting nformation because they don't want to give students their refunds. I paid thousands and I only received a check in the amount of {$150.00}. I received a letter in the mail from Nelnet with this information. How will I know the real amount I paid since my payment history has been deleted? I have called Nelnet many times and I get a different answer every time. Nelnet can put in false information at this point since they have deleted my payment history and statements. I tried getting payment history through my bank but the bank only has statements available for the past 7 years. Nelnet needs to be investigated and made to pay my refund with punitive damages for their lack of integrity and fraudulent activity.
