On XXXX XXXX. I contacted PayPal to file a dispute for two pending transactions in the amount of {$100.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX  account in XXXX, Arkansas.

Scammer tried to transfer funds from this account to my PayPal account to buy crypto. I was able to stop those transactions for two {$100.00}.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the accuracy and legitimacy of multiple student loan accounts reported by Nelnet under the U.S. Department of Education on my credit reports througXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and all sub entities categorized as a credit reporting agency. There are 12 open and 2 closed tradelines showing on my credit files, which I did not apply for, authorize, or receive benefit from. These are the result of identity theft likely tied to a major data breach, as has been publicly warned by technology and security experts. 

I have filed both an FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report in XXXX and have submitted dispute letters to Nelnet directly . Despite this, Nelnet continues to furnish these inaccurate records to credit bureaus without conducting a reasonable investigation or ceasing reporting, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Additionally, Nelnet is currently the subject of an ongoing federal class action lawsuit regarding systemic FCRA violations and improper student loan reporting. This supports my position that their conduct is part of a broader pattern of abuse and non-compliance. I am formally demanding immediate removal of all Nelnet-related accounts from my credit profile and written confirmation of compliance. 

I am suffering significant damage to my credit, emotional distress, and interference with financial opportunities as a result of this continued false reporting.

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.

This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate correction and removal of certain items from my credit report due to violations of my federally protected rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The following accounts have blatantly breached my rights to privacy and confidentiality, as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681, and I will not tolerate these illegal actions.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 602 ( A ) : I am entitled to privacy, and these accounts are infringing on that right.

Company: Goldcar Lending Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing a Gold Car Lending account that appears on my credit report. This account is reporting activity dating back to XXXX  in the amount of {$5000.00}. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 605 ( a ) ), negative accounts such as this should no longer be reported after seven years from the date of first delinquency. 

This account is outdated and should have aged off my credit report by now. Additionally, I have no recent knowledge or valid documentation of this account, and I do not believe the reporting is accurate or verifiable under FCRA guidelines. 

I have attempted to contact the credit bureaus to have this account removed, but it remains on my report and is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. I am requesting the CFPB to investigate and have this account permanently deleted from all consumer reporting agencies. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Complaint narrative:
I visited the PNC XXXX branch ( ZIP XXXX ) to cash a federal IRS tax refund check. I am a PNC account holder. Despite being the only customer in the branch, Branch Manager XXXX XXXX and two other employees refused to look at the check, ask for the amount, or verify my account. They incorrectly claimed that PNC does not cash IRS checks and directed me to a third-party bank ( XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX 

At XXXX, staff were surprised and told me this was incorrect, recommending I visit another PNC branch. I then went to a second PNC location, where the employees were shocked by what I had been told and immediately cashed the check with no issues. 

This experience reflects a serious lapse in training and customer service. I was denied access to my legitimate funds and given false information by the branch manager and staff, all without any effort to verify my account or assist me. Im filing this complaint so this matter can be formally addressed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I recently sent out letters to the Consumer Reporting Agencies about inaccurate information on my consumer report and they came back verified. However : I still never gave them no written content to furnish this information on my consumer report. They also violated 15 USC 1681i 5 & 7 and verified these accounts, and violated 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ). The items have to be deleted BEFORE the full investigation is complete. The law states that any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device are not supposed to be included in a consumer report, and this reported information was an EXPERIENCE of mine. Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Also, it is required that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information. They did not follow reasonable procedures to meet my needs as a consumer nor do what is fair and equitable to me, the consumer. Most importantly, this company did not exercise their grave responsibility by respecting my right to privacy, as a consumer.
