Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXX ) 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXb ( 2 ) and XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXc-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXn, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a series of late payments that appeared on my XXXX XXXX  related to my XXXX student loans. These loans were in XXXX for an extended period due to XXXX XXXX In XX/XX/XXXX, the loans were reactivated and began requiring payments again. However, I was never notified by mail or email that payments were resuming. As a result, I missed payments unintentionally and have now been marked as XXXX  days late. The " late '' payments have now been taken care of now that I know about it and are currently at a XXXX balance and are up-to-date on payments. 

I sent a copy of my credit report and a cover letter explaining the whole situation to the EdFinancial Services on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified that they are not taking off the late payments. 

This late payment dropped my XXXX XXXX from approximately XXXX to XXXX, which XXXX XXXX  my ability to purchase a home. I was already under contract for a house and had qualified at the higher score. I did not receive any notice or warning that payments were resuming, and had I been made aware, I would have taken immediate action to avoid XXXX 

I have disputed this with the loan servicer and provided documentation, including my credit report and a personal statement, but they have denied the request to remove or adjust the late marks. 

I am asking for assistance in resolving this error and having these XXXX  marks removed or corrected due to lack of proper notification. The impact on my financial future is XXXX  and was caused by a communication failure, not a lack of responsibility.

Complaint narrative:
Improperly Dismissed Complaint XXXX XXXX  XXXX Duplicate Marking in Error ( Complaint ID : XXXX ) To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing in response to the dismissal of my complaint ( CFPB Complaint ID : XXXX ) as a duplicate of a previous complaint ( ID : XXXX ). This is an error in classification and substantively incorrect, as the second complaint raised new legal grounds, updated facts, and additional violations not previously addressed in the original complaint. 
Key Points of Dispute : This complaint was not a duplicate. 

The second complaint addressed : Violations under XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ) and XXXX ( b ) based on XXXX failure to reasonably reinvestigate. 

Affirms lack of proof of identity verification or assignment validation, despite being obligated under XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). 

Additional consumer XXXX from XXXX continued reporting without proper authorization or proof of debt ownership. 

No Debt Validation or Assignment Has Been Properly Produced. 

Affirm has only provided generic Terms of XXXX and an alleged e-signature, which is insufficient to prove identity or consent, especially in light of possible fraud or identity theft. 

Under XXXX v. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ), failure to produce adequate documentation makes continued reporting unlawful under the FCRA. 

Violation of FCRA XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ) Identity Theft Claims Ignored. 

I submitted multiple disputes in accordance with the FCRA and Identity Theft laws. 

Affirm failed to remove the disputed tradeline as required when a consumer claims identity theft and the account can not be substantiated through meaningful investigation or documentation. 

CFPB Complaint Misclassification Denies Due Process. 

Marking a new complaint as a duplicate simply because it references the same account does not meet the CFPBs own complaint review standards, especially when legal grounds, cited law, and allegations evolve or escalate.
