Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On this date XX/XX/2024 I called Discover Bank about a recent transaction that was approved on my checking account for {$350.00}. I wanted to cancel that transaction because I did not want it approved before I could change the amount and payment date. I simply got too preoccupied and let this task slip my mind. When I saw that the funds were taken from my account, I called discover around XXXXXXXX XXXX to see if it was possible for them to cancel the transaction of {$350.00}. They told me since the transact was authorized by myself ( it was ) and that I simply forgot to cancel it beforehand, that I would have to call the merchant that the payment went to. I called the merchant, which was XXXX, a leasing/loan company, and they told me over the phone at around XXXXXXXX XXXX. that they would in fact cancel the transaction and I would have the {$350.00} back in my account within a few business days. Later that night at around XXXXXXXX XXXX, I get a notification from the discover app that my account was suspended due to pending closure. I called discover customer service and was told that my account, which still had funds in the amount of {$380.00} in my checking and about {$190.00} in my savings, was being closed due to recent activity. I explained that any and all activity on my account was authorized by myself and I had not reported any suspicious or fraudulent activities on my account. I was then told that any funds remaining in my account could be transferred into an external linked account, which did not work, and I am unable to link the account to any of my other accounts due to it being inactive. I was then told that I would have to wait 10-15 days after my last deposit for a check of my remaining funds. When I called back around XXXX XXXX to see if its possible for them to link an external account or if I could get another bank to transfer the funds into a new account, I was told that I would have to wait for the check. This is a huge inconvenience and extremely frustrating situation. I had no warning, no type of communication whatsoever that this would happen. The very least they could have done was made it so that I had time to withdraw my funds before they closed the account. This is extremely disappointing and unprofessional and I will not be using discover or any online banking service again. I have had way to many issues and problems with these banks and there poor customer service.

Company: Bonneville Billing and Collections
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unfair credit reporting practices by Bonneville Collection and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), which I believe are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I reviewed my XXXX credit report and noticed that Bonneville Collection is reporting a {$110.00} collection account. This reporting is false, as I have not received any validation of the debt from Bonneville Collection, which is required by law. Furthermore, the original creditor, XXXX, is also reporting a collection on my XXXX account for the same debt. This dual reporting is illegal, as both XXXX and Bonneville Collection can not report the same debt simultaneously. XXXX has sold the debt to Bonneville Collection, making this a clear case of double reporting. 

The details of the accounts are as follows : Bonneville Collection : Reporting a {$110.00} collection account on my XXXX report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : Also reporting a collection account for the same debt on my XXXX report. 
These actions have negatively impacted my credit score and caused undue stress. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that Bonneville Collection and XXXX comply with the FCRA. I also request that both collection entries be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information or documentation.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed several emails from Nelnet.gov, regarding missed payments for a student loan. I am not currently a student and have verified by calling Nelnet, that there are no student loans on file with my SSN, and that it was likely a typo, or someone using my email to make an account. 

I was initially concerned with this being identify theft, but I do not have any student loans in my name to my knowledge. I checked with student aid.gov as well, there are no student loans in my name. I suspect this is a clerical error, or someone used my email while making an account.

Complaint narrative:
I have a complaint about a creditor that has violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). First, they violated 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 ( A ), which states that I have the right to privacy. Second, they violated 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 ( A ) Section 2, which states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions Experian has yet to respond to my complaint, which is why I am filing a second one. I will continue to file complaints until my issue is resolved. Ive been disputing this account for over a year and they still have not removed it. They are getting away with criminal acts, and I will no longer be a victim. I will take legal action if necessary. I am not the only one, and they need to stop.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from sec

tion 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
