Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Nelnet for multiple violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 and 5536 ). Nelnet has reported false and incomplete information about my student loans and my personal data. My name and account information are incorrect on my credit reports. I also submitted a valid IRS Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ), showing that the debt was discharged, but Nelnet continues to report the loan as active or delinquent. This violates 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires furnishers to ensure maximum possible accuracy, and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( aNelnet failed to verify or correct the information after multiple written disputes and requests for documentation. Nelnets actions are also unfair and deceptive under 12 U.S.C. 5531, as they misrepresent the true status of my account, ignore evidence of cancellation, and continue to report negative data that damages my credit. These errors have harmed my credit score, and caused unnecessary financial stress. I am requesting immediate correction.These corrections are necessary to repair the damage done to my credit and ensure fair and lawful reporting.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
I have had my PayPal Cashback Mastercard for XXXX  year now. Over the last year I have regularly made payments and I've seen those payments update my available credit balance within minutes. I've made payments as small as {$100.00} up to {$6000.00} - {$7000.00} at a time. 

XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$14000.00}. When I noticed that morning my available credit amount did not change, I made a XXXX  payment of {$100.00} which did reflect on my available credit. XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX I made another payment of {$400.00} and it did NOT change my available credit amount. I'm making the payments expecting I could use my cash back card to buy XXXX and XXXX needs. 

I called PayPal Cashback Mastercard customer service XXXX  morning to inquire why my available credit has not changed after my payments. They informed me they were going to hold my payments ( {$14000.00} until XX/XX/XXXX and {$400.00} until XX/XX/XXXX!!! ) and they would not release the holds. If I had known they were going to hold my payment and not make my available credit ready to use I wouldn't have made such a big payment and would've just bought the things I need with my debit card. Now I'm stuck with PayPal Cashback Mastercard holding {$14000.00} of my money I can not touch or use for the next XXXX weeks. It's completely unacceptable given the large payments I've made in the past and having no history of ever missing a payment. 

My payment even shows " completed '' when I look at my card summary. You can see in my attachments my available credit is only {$89.00} dollars despite my credit limit being {$15000.00} and my current balance less than {$900.00}. You can see in the other screenshot my payment shows as " completed ''

Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

Complaint narrative:
Company : AMSHERCOLLECTIONSERVICESAccount : Collection account opened XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXAmount : {$1400.00} Complaint Description : I am filing this complaint because AMSHERCOLLECTIONSERVICES is reporting a collection account that I did not open and have never authorized. I have never entered into any contract or agreement with this company for any account or service.

I have repeatedly attempted to contact AMSHERCOLLECTIONSERVICES to obtain verification or a copy of the alleged contract, but the company has not provided any documentation proving that I owe this debt. I have also attempted to dispute the account directly and through the credit bureaus, but have not received a response or resolution.

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), I have the right to request validation of any alleged debt. The company has failed to provide such validation. Reporting or continuing to report an unverified account also violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), which requires that only accurate and verifiable information be reported to credit bureaus.

The continued reporting of this unverified collection account is causing damage to my credit history and financial reputation.

Requested Resolution : I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require AMSHERCOLLECTIONSERVICES to : 1. Provide full and complete documentation validating this alleged debt, including a signed contract or agreement showing my legal obligation to pay ; or 2. If such documentation can not be provided, immediately cease all collection activity and permanently delete the account from all credit reporting agencies, including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In the next 24-48 Hours I have contacted both the company and the credit bureaus.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for ensuring my consumer rights are protected under federal law.
