Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX, Experian and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

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.

Complaint narrative:
15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Experian is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Experian and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX requested to begin auto pay as student loans, resumed, checked in a month later, when I didnt see the auto debit from my checking account ; payments were listed as overdue with no record of my auto pay request or information as to why auto pay was not started. Requested again, and was given a new auto pay start date in XXXX. The same situation followed a month later, and now I am supposedly going to have an auto debit taken on XX/XX/XXXX, with no confidence it will be taken. I requested helpful company more than once and havent received any useful assistance other than excuses. I feel as though they are intentionally not using the auto pay option in order to charge late fees. In addition to not getting the auto paid debited there is no reminder email or any other way of informing me that the loan is due so it feels like intentional negligence on their behalf to charge additional service fees, as I have been a good borrower and stay on top of my loan payments as soon as they resumed. I have spoken to XXXX with the same servicer and have heard that many people are having the same experience and decided to lodge a formal complaint

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX  a letter was sent to me stating that my escrow payment was increasing by a large amount that was not justified by property tax or insurance increases. I called the company in XXXX and asked why such a large increase. I was not given an answer and I asked for a supervisor. When the supervisor came on the phone, she stated that they have the right to increase it and would not give me a Justifiable reason. I told her my property tax and insurance did not increase by that much to Justify such a large increase in payment. She ended up hanging up on me without giving me a reason for the increase. I have tried to call them back and have not gotten any returned calls from management as requested. I can not afford the increase. They have increased it every year Ive had them. They increased it a large amount last year and did not give me a reason. Now this year they increased it even more. They are increasing my payment to make my mortgage unfavorable because my interest rate is so low. Thats why they push refinancing which is not an option at this point. I should not be forced to refinance by a company that just keeps increasing my mortgage payment every year to make it unaffordable.

State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened. 

16 CFR 313.7 15 usc 6802 Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorizations I the consumer may have given you written, unwritten, verbally and non verbally per 15 USC 6802 it is effective immediately and indefinitely. 

Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report. 

" If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I received a letter from SPS stating that my mortgage payment will be increased due to an escrow shortage due to property taxes and home insurance increase. Immediately, I contacted them and asked for help because in my acknowledgement the calculations were wrong. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any help, they told me that everything is clear, and I am wrong. 
After tried dealing with the matter over the phone, on XX/XX/23 I sent via mail a letter to Select Portfolio Servicing attaching the escrow letter, my homeowners insurance declaration page, my property tax bill. 
Until the present time, I did not receive any response about my letter. I called SPS today and they confirmed that {$4100.00} is my payment without any note or changes, they offered me mortgage assistance meaning loan modification, which I will never accept for something that they did wrongly. 
PLEASE help me to get this resolve, I can't afford the increase and not only that they are wrong in the calculations
