Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX BKPT CT AL DECATUR-VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant courXXXX XXXX XXXX  Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX XXXX of Alabama that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

This correspondence serves as a formal follow-up and final notice regarding your continued noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), despite my previous dispute dated XX/XX/XXXX.

Additionally, under FCRA 623 ( b ), data furnishers must investigate and report the results of the reinvestigation to the credit reporting agency in a timely and accurate manner.

Complaint narrative:
With MOHELA- Filed several forbearances online. Made countless amount of calls. Never get through. No feedback on forbearance. No call backs. No updates. Reversed one of my payments and now am late. Mohela will soon affect my credit. 

Every phone call that is made to Mohela in reference to someones account starts with an automated message that says this is an attempt to collect a debt as if calls are forwarded to collection almost instantly. This company needs major improvements and if they can not service the borrowers rightfully then should discuss transferring those loans to a company that is capable.
