Consumer complaint received 2024-11-12 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a formal dispute letter to Equifax via XXXX certified mail, disputing several negative items inaccurately listed on my credit report and a XXXX record that contains discrepancies and incomplete information. In my letter, I provided all necessary documents to verify my identity, including a copy of my government-issued ID, Social Security card , and proof of address. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Equifax is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed items on my credit report within 30 days. However, to date, Equifax has failed to respond to my dispute or provide any updates on the status of the investigation, which I believe constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 
This lack of response from Equifax is concerning, as the reporting of inaccurate information and an incomplete bankruptcy record has negatively impacted my credit score and financial well-being. XXXX failure to address these disputed items and provide the results of a thorough investigation suggests a lack of due diligence and proper consumer protections.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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 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. ''

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, for the first time since I had the loan ( which had been since XX/XX/XXXX ) I missed a loan payment. It was my first missed payment after 16 months of consecutive, on-time payments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I received a call from Santander Bank collections department. I received XXXX calls per day over the next 3 days, XXXX of those came after I had reported to stop calling me because it wasnt going to get them paid any faster. I knew I was behind/late and that I would get them a payment when I could. I also receive yet another call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX ignoring the XXXX Not XXXX request. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX charged me a {$35.00} NSF fee. On XX/XX/XXXX, I caught up the payments with an amount that was {$95.00} more than the normal {$600.00} payment ( a 15 % late-penalty for XXXX month, on top of the {$35.00} NSF fee XXXX paid ). 

This month, I missed the XX/XX/XXXX payment and the harassing calls have started again on XX/XX/XXXX, despite my prior request to stop calling me by phone and to contact me using regular mail or e-mail only, and despite being told twice that they would put me on their internal DO NOT CALL list. 

Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, I receive a phone call at XXXX XXXX, that I accidentally answered then hung up. I received a XXXX phone call the same day, around XXXX XXXX. This time I answered intentionally and spoke to a woman ( did not record the name as I was driving ) and told her no one from Santander was supposed to be contacting me by phone. I told her I would pay the past due amount when I could and to stop calling me. She said, once again, that they will put me on their Do Not Call list. 

The very next day after this phone conversation and XXXX verbal request to stop, I got yet another call from Santander at XXXX XXXX. Ive had enough of their harassing phone calls and want Santander to cease and desist immediately! From this point forward, they can only contact me by XXXX mail or using the e-mail on file.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Mohela just took over servicing of my student loan. Prior to the change I logged into the old servicer website and the posted balance was under XXXX dollars. The first time I logged into Mohela, after the change, my posted balance was over XXXX dollars. I called and spoke with a Mohela representative she said that the balance will go up daily as interest accrues and the posted value will reflect that. What she described has never happened over the life of the loan. The balance has never gone up. Instead, I make a payment, the balance goes down, a new balance is posted and it goes down again when the next payment is made. The accrual is different under mohela and likely works to their advantage. It may be that this change is accross the board and affects all accounts that transferred into the mohela system.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Equifax 's inaccurate and inconsistent reporting of my credit information. In reviewing my credit report through myEquifax.com and my annual report, I noticed discrepancies that are not reflected in the versions of my report that Equifax sends to third parties, including Credit Karma, banks, MyFICO, and other creditors. Specifically, Equifax is sharing an inaccurate report with these entities that includes accounts previously identified as fraudulent and that should have been removed or hidden due to prior identity theft incidents. Additionally, this report contains accounts that do not belong to me at all. Despite my attempts to resolve this with Equifax, the incorrect information continues to be circulated, adversely affecting my financial standing and creditworthiness. I am requesting CFPB 's assistance in ensuring Equifax corrects this issue, removes all accounts related to ID theft, and aligns the reports they share with creditors with the accurate, updated information in my personal Equifax portal.
