Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my XXXX XXXX funds were sent to XXXX for disbursement. XXXX initiated an XXXX transfer to my Chase Bank account, which had already been closed. The funds never appeared in my account. 

I contacted both XXXX and Chase. Chase said the funds were returned, but XXXX claims they never received them. I submitted all required documentation, including a letter of good faith, and followed up repeatedly, but the issue remains unresolved. 

This has caused significant financial stress and delayed my ability to pay for basic needs and school-related expenses. Im filing this complaint because the funds are still missing, and neither party has taken responsibility or provided a clear next step.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Edfinancial Service due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over XXXX late payment entries from EdFinancial Services, which has caused my XXXX XXXX to drop by over XXXX. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a XXXX violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records XXXX have been compromised or altered without my consent. 

I am in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. 

Violations and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX  ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. 

XXXX. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX XXXX have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. 

XXXX. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, a formal written dispute was mailed to Experian regarding a dismissed bankruptcy listed on my credit report. The dispute cited FCRA 1681e ( b ), 611, and 605 ( a ) and challenged the continued reporting of an inaccurate and unverifiable public record. 

The bankruptcy in question reports " dismissed '' on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Attached to the initial dispute were : A government-issued ID Proof of address A detailed legal dispute letter A demand for Method of Verification ( MOV ) Experian responded with a stall email requesting documents already provided and referred to the bankruptcy as a charge-off, which is factually and legally inaccurate. 

A second formal dispute was sent via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX, reiterating the legal grounds and again demanding MOV under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Despite this, Experian responded again with a generic stall message and failed to provide any verification from the original source ( the court ). 

At this time, Experian has not complied with federal law, has failed to complete an investigation with proper verification, and continues to report false, damaging public record data obtained from a XXXX-party vendor ( e.g., XXXX ) not the court. 

This ongoing violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 611 has now prompted this formal CFPB complaint. Documentation proving delivery and copies of the dispute letters are being attached.

Complaint narrative:
Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX This late payment is inaccurate and should be removed in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
At the time of the payment, I was in a relationship with someone who had access to my personal laptop. After the relationship ended, I discovered that this individual had accessed my account without my permission and intentionally XXXX my autopay settings. They later admitted over the phone that they were the one who made those changes. As a result, the scheduled payment was never processed, and I had no idea it failed until I noticed the late payment reported to the credit bureaus. 
I have since secured my accounts and changed all login credentials to prevent any future unauthorized access. I take my credit seriously and have a history of responsible payments, so this isolated late mark caused by tampering from someone else is not an accurate reflection of my creditworthiness.This situation falls under the protections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 Furnishers are required to report accurate information and must correct any inaccuracies when notified 15 U.S. Code 1681i Credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed items and delete any unverifiable or inaccurate information within 30 days Because this late payment was caused by unauthorized access and not intentional nonpayment, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. If the furnisher can not provide documented evidence that I personally initiated the changes that led to the late payment, it must be deleted as required by law. 
Please notify me of the results of your investigation, and I appreciate your time and cooperation in resolving this matter.
