Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain accounts and inquiries listed on my consumer credit report, as referenced below, which appear to have resulted from a data breach, fraud, or unauthorized activity. I also request verifiable proof of these actions, including documentation with my signature or electronic signature. This letter is being sent by me directly, not by a third party, so please review it carefully. I did not authorize any of these actions, which violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly Section 605B, which addresses the blocking of information resulting from a data breach or fraud [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], and Section 604, which outlines permissible purposes for consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ]. After contacting the relevant companies, I found that these actions were initiated without adequate validation or original documentation from the reporting entities. Since I did not authorize these accounts or inquiries, they are incorrect and should be considered the result of a data breach or unauthorized reporting of my information by creditors or third-party data furnishers.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately in the form of proper notification and check-up. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. 
This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, 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 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 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
According to my records, this account has been closed ; however, it is being reported as open and continues to accrue late payments and interest. This is a clear violation of federal laws governing accurate credit reporting and account servicing. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), you are required to ensure that information provided to consumer reporting agencies is accurate and complete. Reporting an account as both closed and open is materially misleading and damages my creditworthiness.

Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. ), creditors are prohibited from applying unauthorized fees or interest charges to accounts that are no longer active or owed. If this account was closed, no further interest or late payment penalties should accrue.

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

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Mohela titled " Interest Accrual During Forbearance '' in which they told me that interest accrues on my account and I have the option to pay interest. The year prior, I had paid my student loans via auto debit from my bank account. So, in a panic, I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX to try to offset interest. My payment never showed up on my account, so I called Mohela, and they had no trace of the payment. They told me I used the wrong account number since apparently everyone got new account numbers over the summer ( since the last time my payment was auto paid from my bank with my old account number ). They also told me that letter was sent to everyone by mistake. 

With my new account number, I contacted my bank in person to try to cancel or redirect the payment. They can not do anything -- so I contacted Mohela for a refund. After being on hold for XXXX and a half hours, I spoke to an " advanced agent '' who said she was looking into the matter and asked me to wait on a brief hold *seven* times. After she put me on hold for the XXXX time, they hung up on me. I called back and the estimated wait was XXXX hours and XXXX minutes. Instead, I called the bill pay customer support through my bank, and they are opening a research ticket on my behalf. I am hopeful they will be able to resolve the issue. 

However, I urge the CFPB to investigate MOHELA on a nationwide level of scamming student loan borrows -- - from deflecting phone calls, sending out letters of disinformation, to disappearing payments without a trace. I am not the only XXXX in this boat. Please read the countless testimonies on XXXX ( Mohela group, PSLF group ), XXXX, and XXXX  platforms for a broader scope of the various pits of XXXX we have endured. 

Thank you
