Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, Im formally requesting the discharge of all student loans held by XXXX. Over the years I feel companys policies and practices has been misrepresented. Theyve failed to offer proper guidance about my loan repayment options. 

Initially my loans were through XXXX XXXX and my accounts were sold to XXXX, without any notification or warning. Blinding trying to maneuver through this company processes, XXXX  encouraged me to enter forbearance and/or deferment programs. As the income-driven repayment plans may have been the better option. This could have made my payments more affordable and eligible for eventful forgiveness. Instead, as a result of entering the forbearance and/or deferment programs has caused my loan to increase due to the capitalized interest. Which in turn has led to years of financial strain and has profoundly affected my ability to meet my financial obligations. 

Upon some research I recently found that XXXX  has had a history of misreporting my payment status to credit agencies severely damaging my credit score. This has caused a domino effect with me being eligible for more favorable repayment options and ultimately contributed to an overwhelming amount of increased debt well beyond what I originally borrowed. These practices by XXXX  are consistent with the widespread fraudulent behavior which caused sues by numerous states of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

Thank you for considering my request. I hope the CFPB will swiftly and decisively hold XXXX  accountable and provide the relief borrowers such as myself desperately need.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WI XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Complaint Against the Three Major Credit Bureaus for Violating Privacy Rights and Defaming Credibility Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against the three major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX violations of my privacy rights and actions that have defamed my credibility. 
Over the past several months, I have noticed significant inaccuracies in my credit reports issued by these bureaus. Despite multiple attempts to rectify these discrepancies, I have been met with inadequate responses and a lack of effective action. This negligence has not only compromised my financial standing but has also caused undue stress and inconvenience.

The specific violations of my privacy and defamation of my credibility include : 1. Unauthorized Sharing of Personal Information : There have been instances where my personal information was shared without my explicit consent, leading to unauthorized inquiries and potential identity theft.

2. Inaccurate Reporting : The bureaus have reported incorrect information regarding my credit history, including but not limited to incorrect account statuses and payment histories.

3. Failure to Correct Errors : Despite providing documented evidence of the inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have failed to correct my credit reports promptly. 
These actions are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and have caused significant harm to my personal and financial well-being. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take immediate action against these credit bureaus to enforce compliance with federal laws and protect consumers like myself from further harm. 
I am seeking immediate rectification of the inaccuracies in my credit reports, as well as compensation for the damages caused by these violations. Attached are copies of my correspondence with the credit bureaus, along with supporting documentation. 
I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I have a letter directly from the court that clearly confirms this bankruptcy should not have been reported to your agency or reflected on my credit report. Despite this official documentation, the bankruptcy still appears on my record, which is both alarming and unjustified. Additionally, the involvement of an unauthorized third party in this matter further complicates the situation and raises concerns about the accuracy and security of my personal information. This makes the issue even more serious, as it not only reflects an error in reporting but also a breach of trust regarding the handling of my sensitive data.
