Complaint narrative:
Experian and XXXX 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX 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 XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an XXXX XXXX XXXX collection account that appears on my credit report. XXXX sued me in XXXX County Justice Court, Case No. XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, the court granted XXXX own Motion to Dismiss, meaning the case was dismissed with no judgment against me. Despite this dismissal, this continues to report the XXXX XXXX account as a valid collection. I previously disputed the account through their online system and provided a copy of the Order of Dismissal, but they have not removed this. I am requesting that the CFPB review this issue because XXXX XXXX has not provided proof that the debt is valid or that they have a right to report it. Continuing to report this account after dismissal appears to violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Sections 1681i and 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) regarding accuracy and reinvestigation. I am asking that they remove this account from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I demand that you provide me with validation of the alleged debt. I request that you provide competent evidence that I have a legal obligation to pay you, which includes, but is not limited to, the following : 1. The amount of the debt, including a detailed breakdown of the principal, interest, and any fees or charges added. 2. The name and address of the original creditor. 3. Copies of any documents ( such as the original credit agreement, contract, or application ) that bear my signature, demonstrating my contractual obligation to the original creditor. 4.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a mattress at the company Mattress Firm under a promotional deal through Synchrony Bank. This promotion was supposed to be a 24 month interest free credit line for the purchase of a mattress. I was under the impression that if I set up auto payments above the minimum balance for the duration of that 24 month period it would be paid off before the promotional period ended. But I also thought that if it wasn't paid off in 24 months that I would just have to continue paying but would now be charged a monthly interest rate on the remaining balance. So I calculated what 24 payments would look like and attempted to set that up. However the system did not lock that in and it just started taking descending minimum payments instead of the greater amount. That's when I got hit with over {$3000.00} dollars in interest on an initially {$5000.00} purchase. It turns out that the agreement was not for 24 months interest free and then interest charged on a remaining balance they hit me with differed interest at the tune of 30 %. Why would any reasonable person think that they would be charged an additional $ XXXX on a {$5000.00} purchase when at the very least they have never missed a payment. Also they won't include your account number on any digital documentation and refuse to give it to you when you contact them!

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for discharge of my private XXXX XXXX student loans under XXXX School Misconduct Discharge program. My loans were originally serviced by Navient and later transferred to XXXX. 

On approval, I received the following message : Navient has completed its review of your application and determined your applicable private student loans are eligible for discharge. We've waived the remaining balance, which now reflects a XXXXdollar amount, and any qualifying payments will be refunded separately. Remember, if you have other loans not related to this discharge application, payments for those loans will continue to be due as scheduled. 

Based on this message, I understood that all qualifying payments I had made on the discharged loans would be refunded, including payments made before my complaint. However, I never received a refund. 

When I requested clarification, I received the same message repeatedly, with no real explanation. The only response I am given is : We will not be issuing further refunds but do hope the benefits applied provided you relief from your financial burden. 

This response does not address the fact that I made payments for an education at a school that is no longer open, where misconduct occurred. It is unclear how these circumstances justify not refunding pre-complaint payments, and I have received no transparent explanation from XXXX or Navient. 

When I initially contacted Navient about my concerns, they refused to address the issue and directed me to XXXX, stating that XXXX now services my loans. This forced me to conduct extensive research and advocate for myself to understand the loan, the discharge process, and why refunds were not being issued. 

It is also concerning that both servicers knew about the school closure and the misconduct, yet continued taking payments and demanding repayment. This feels unfair, misleading, and creates unnecessary financial hardship. 

I am concerned that : The approval communication was misleading or unclear about which payments would be refunded. 

I was not informed upfront that pre-complaint payments would not be refunded. 

The repeated generic responses fail to provide a meaningful explanation, creating a lack of transparency and fairness. 

Navients refusal to address past servicing concerns leaves borrowers without recourse for actions taken while they managed the loans. 

Both servicers actions may constitute a violation of borrower transparency rights under the California Student Borrower Bill of Rights and federal consumer protection standards.
