Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccuracies in my credit report with the XXXX major credit bureaus. Despite my efforts to resolve these matters directly with the respective creditors, the inaccuracies persist. 

Please find the details of my disputes below, along with the resolution I am seeking for each account : XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) Dispute Reason : This account is reporting a late payment for a period when the account was in deferment. I was not responsible for this late payment as the company assured me that the payment status would be updated to " paid on time '' due to their error. This correction has not been made. 
Resolution Requested : Please update the payment status to " paid on time. '' XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) Dispute Reason : I have no knowledge of any collection account with this company. The original creditor, XXXX XXXX, was paid in full prior to any collection activity. Therefore, this collection account should not appear on my credit report. 
Resolution Requested : Please delete this account from my credit report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) Dispute Reason : This account has been reporting inaccurately and I have disputed it multiple times. The balance continues to increase monthly, which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) as collections are not supposed to incur additional fees. Furthermore, no proper verification documentation has been provided by this company or the credit bureaus. 
Resolution Requested : Please delete this account from my credit report. 
I have attached copies of my identification and Power of Attorney ( POA ) for verification purposes. Your assistance in resolving these matters promptly would be greatly appreciated. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide me with an update on the actions taken to correct these inaccuracies. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sallie Mae, I'm writing to you with a heavy XXXX, still reeling from the sudden loss of my beloved grandson, XXXX XXXX. Just XXXX months after we paid off his student loans in full, he was taken from us far too soon. As his co-signer, an arrangement between my grandson and myself was implemented as he was employed within his field of study. The plan was that he would assist in monthly re-pay installments if I agreed to re-finance my home mortgage to pay off his student loan debts in the amount of {$170000.00}, in XX/XX/2023. It was a sacrifice we made with love and hope for his future, but little did we know that fate had other plans. 

As we navigate this devastating loss, I'm not just asking for a refund of the loan amount, but for your compassion and understanding. XXXX 's passing has left our family in a state of grief and financial uncertainty. My husband and I are now XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, respectively, and are struggling to make ends meet. The burden of recouping these losses would be crushing. 

I implore you to consider the extraordinary circumstances surrounding XXXX 's death and our situation as a family. We've already endured so much pain and sacrifice to ensure his education was paid off. Now, we're left with the weight of this unexpected loss and the financial strain that comes with it. 

I understand that Sallie Mae has guidelines in place for death discharges, I'm begging you to consider our story and the human impact of this tragedy. XXXX 's life was cut short, and his memory should be cherished, not weighed down by the financial burdens we're now facing. 

Please, I beg you, consider our request for a refund or any other possible alternatives that can alleviate our financial burden. I'm begging you, please consider our request with an XXXX XXXX and mind. We've already lost so much - we've lost our beloved grandson, we've lost our peace of mind - and now we're facing financial uncertainty. I'm asking you to show us compassion, empathy, and understanding. 


Thank you for taking the time to read our story. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.
