Complaint narrative:
In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I asked FSA and XXXX for a buyback amount for my student loans. I have 119 payments made and would like to get the 120th payment completed. An agent let me know I needed to refile my PSLF paperwork, and I did so. I also did extensive research on how to ask for a buyback. I called studentaid.gov and was told my form would be completed in 14 days. That did not happen. I was told I needed to wait 45 days. I did. Again, I did not have my buyback amount. I looked at studentaid.gov and noticed one of the payments I made in XXXX was not counted toward my PSLF. I asked for a reconsideration. I was told I would need to wait 45 days on top of the 45 days I waited for the buyback amount. I have asked several times for the buyback information and keep getting told 45 days. It has been more than 45 days since I asked for this information.

Company: Self Financial Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the company, SELF FINANCIAL/LEAD BANK, has not properly addressed my dispute regarding a fraudulent account on my credit report. This account was opened on or around XX/XX/XXXX, and I had no knowledge of or involvement in its creation. The account shows a credit limit of {$1000.00} and a high balance of {$950.00}. The last reported activity was XX/XX/XXXX, but Ive never used this account. 

I contacted the company and/or the credit bureaus to dispute this account and requested proof that I had authorized it. To date, I have not received any supporting documents, such as a signed agreement, application, or transaction records, showing that this account belongs to me.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or unauthorized information on my credit report. Credit reporting agencies and creditors are required to investigate disputes and remove unverifiable or inaccurate information. If the company can not validate this account, they are legally obligated to delete it from my credit report. 

The lack of action from SELF FINANCIAL/LEAD BANK has caused harm to my creditworthiness, and I am requesting the immediate removal of this account. I also ask that the company provide a written explanation of the steps theyve taken to investigate and resolve this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items.

Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experian 's failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Experian, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under the FCRA.

As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law. 

I hereby request that Experian : XXXX. Conduct a thorough reinvestigation of the following disputed accounts or items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Provide me with all documentation used to verify the accuracy of the disputed information. 

XXXX. Correct or delete any information that can not be verified or is inaccurate, as mandated by law. 

Given the recent CFPB findings, I expect Experian to handle this dispute with the utmost seriousness and compliance with legal standards. 

If Experian fails to comply with its obligations under the FCRA, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the CFPB and pursue any necessary legal action to protect my rights.
