Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 
Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate Reporting : The late payment listed on my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX is inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. 
Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of this late payment violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as it misrepresents my creditworthiness.

Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information. 
Additionally, there are numerous discrepancies in the information reported across credit bureaus : Last Verified : Two accounts lack a " Last Verified '' date, which affects the accuracy and completeness of the data. 
Closed Date : Only XXXX shows a " Closed Date, '' while XXXX and Equifax do not provide this information.

Account Rating : XXXX marks the account as " Closed, '' whereas XXXX and Equifax indicate " Paid. '' Account Details : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$14000.00} Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Account Status : Paid Payment Status : Current Two-Year Payment History : XXXX late payment inaccurately reported for XX/XX/XXXX. 
Requested Resolution : I request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payment for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit report. Additionally, I request that Equifax address the discrepancies in the " Last Verified '' date, " Closed Date, '' and " Account Rating '' fields to ensure consistency and accuracy across all accounts. 
I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of this entry and correction of discrepancies within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to make payments on my student loans since I graduated school in XXXX. Every time I try to make a payment, my processor Aidvantage reverses the payment claiming that it is my bank that has an issue. This is not the case as my bank is saying they are not even seeing an attempt to process payment. I tried to set up autopayment which has also been canceled multiple times for absolutely no reason. I am accumulating unnecessary interest now on my loans because they are unable to actually process a payment. The only payment that has gone through was a {$1600.00} manual pay, but since then I have been unable to get a payment to go through whether manually or through autopay. I am getting fed up and they don't even answer then phone.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
In reference to Complaint # XXXX, and XXXX, XXXX remains dishonest and does fail to provide any of the documentation requested. PRA is ignoring relevant facts, and continues to harass me, causing an immense amount of emotional distress in my life, ever since they started with this unproven debt back in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX BLANK STATEMENTS do not proof that I owe a debt, I have made that as clear as possible, and yet PRA continues to send BLANK STATEMENTS. In a debt collection case, the plaintiff ( PRA in this case ) must prove they own the debt they're attempting to collect. Merely presenting bank statements showing transactions related to the debt does not necessarily establish legal ownership of the debt. The plaintiff typically needs : A valid contract or assignment agreement showing the transfer of debt ownership. A chain of title for the debt, particularly if it has been sold multiple times. AT ALL TIMES REUQUESTED PRA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE THIS DOCUMENTATION. PRA continues to blatantly lie and continues to violate the FCRA and FCDPA. Legal action is imminent if PRA does not comply and provide the requested documentation.

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim.

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done

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.
