Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and became delinquent soon after in XXXX. It has been incorrectly reported every single month as XXXX days late- even after the 2 year mark. This company continues to intentionally make this erroneous report to all 3 credit agencies with the intent to harm my credit score even 4 years after the loan was disbursed.

This should have been charged off two years ago. I have disputed this debt, I had a credit repair company, XXXX XXXX, try to resolve it on my behalf, they were unsuccessful as well. The amount of interest and fees have now more than doubled the amount of the loan. The original loan was {$2700.00} and is now {$5400.00}. My only source of income is from a state XXXX program called In Home Supportive Services that I get for caring for my XXXX XXXX children. I am unable to work outside the home. 

This preditory creditor is making false reports to the credit agencies every single month to destroy my credit as revenge for not being able to repay this debt. Soon after I took out this loan I got XXXX  twice- as did my entire household- and had three deaths in my family.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment that is still being reported on my credit report for my student loan account. The late payment in question occurred over 5 years ago, and I believe it is necessary to address its reporting status due to recent developments regarding student loan debt. 

To provide context, I want to highlight that the student loan account in question has been deferred and I have never had any other late payments. Despite the deferred status, the credit report continues to reflect the late payment from over 5 years ago. However, I want to bring to your attention that there are ongoing discussions and movements in the United States government to address the issue of student loan debt and potentially remove it from individuals ' credit reports. There has already been motion for the debt be removed from government workers. 

The inclusion of this late payment from several years ago significantly impacts my credit history and may limit my financial opportunities. It is crucial to consider the evolving landscape surrounding student loan debt and the potential implications it may have on the reporting of such information. 

In light of these circumstances, I kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter thoroughly and reassessing the reporting of the late payment on my credit report. I believe it is unjust to continue reporting this late payment, given the passage of time and the potential changes that may be implemented regarding student loan debt reporting. 

Please take into account the following points : The late payment in question occurred over 5 years ago, and since then, I have diligently worked to improve my credit history and maintain a responsible payment record. 
The account is currently deferred, as indicated by the documentation I have provided, and is not in an active repayment status. 
The current environment surrounding student loan debt calls for a reevaluation of reporting practices, as there is growing momentum to address the burden of student loans and potentially remove them from credit reports. 
I kindly request that you review this matter with consideration for the points mentioned above. I believe it is essential to rectify the reporting of this late payment, especially in light of the potential changes to student loan debt reporting that are being discussed. 

Please provide me with a written confirmation once the investigation is complete, and the necessary corrections have been made to my credit report. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXX or XXXX. I am committed to resolving this dispute and ensuring the accuracy of my credit profile.
