While the state of the economy is concerning, whats far more distressing is the state of my credit report. Its filled with inaccurate information that has caused me immense and ongoing stress. As a consumer, I have a right to accurate reportingand its disheartening to see that right being overlooked. These errors are not only damaging my credit score but also making it harder to manage my financial and personal well-being.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you
Company: CREDICO. INC
State: SD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX approximately, I was contacted while working and spoke to someone indicating I owe around XXXX XXXX dollars all in medical debt. I specifically requested I receive physical copies to prove the debt and the individual got an attitude with me and refused, saying he could only email, which I did not want, but I had to get back to work so I reluctantly accepted. There were hints they would sue if I didn't pay, but I informed him I may be disputing and needed copies. There was an agreement he'd reach out in a few days, which never happened and the amount I calculated from the documents were under XXXX XXXX and included a bill that wasn't medical, which wasn't communicated to me. It's now XX/XX/XXXX and I still have been unable to get correspondence and I'm expecting to receive a summons to small claims court, which is unacceptable when they lied to begin with, and then I didn't get any further communication despite efforts. This is completely unacceptable and if they won't answer or communicate, clearly they don't want the actual money I owe. 

On top of this, today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter saying they will begin garnishing wages for a different amount from the court summons I received a few months ago and from what was told to me in the telephone encounter, plus I was informed by the representative at the time that they wouldnt be garnishing any wages and they would wait until I was in a better financial position. They were also told not to contact my spouse, which they still did, and they have told me theyve tried to call me, which they have not. 

Beyond this, I was also informed not to respond to the original summons as they wouldnt garnish anyway and nothing would happen, so I didnt originally respond as a result and I can not afford an unjust wage garnishment. And lastly, during a conversation after agreeing to an amount I could afford, when I called to arrange the payment agreement, I was told no that it wasnt enough, which was when I tried to negotiate and was told that no garnishment would happen and to simply try to get in a better financial position so I could pay them more later. This was around the end of XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, a company called XXXX charged me {$500.00} as part of a recurring fee I did not authorize or agree to. I was unaware of the charge until I saw it on my account. I immediately contacted Chase to dispute the charge. 

I explained that : I did not authorize this payment. 
XXXX had already closed my account due to suspicious activity someone in another state had apparently gained access to the account. 
I no longer have access to the XXXX account because it is closed, and I have no way to manage or cancel the subscription from my end. 

Despite all of this, Chase denied my dispute, and now they are attempting to garnish {$500.00} from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. 

This charge is fraudulent, unauthorized, and occurred under circumstances completely outside my control. I am seeking assistance to prevent this withdrawal, recover the funds, and have this matter properly investigated.

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.

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.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment to be updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge
Company: MOHELA
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I have paid over {$200000.00} toward my federal XXXX consolidation loan since XXXX. The loan, originally serviced by XXXX and transferred to MOHELA in XX/XX/XXXX, was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX. I am not disputing the loan payoff. I am disputing the refusal to evaluate my eligibility for loan forgiveness under the U.S. Department of Educations Income-Driven Repayment ( IDR ) Adjustment and/or Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) programs. 

According to Department of Education policy, borrowers who qualify for forgiveness based on time in repayment should receive refunds of any overpayments made after crossing the forgiveness threshold. My servicer ( MOHELA ) has refused to assess this or provide my IDR payment count. Instead, they improperly referred to the unrelated XXXX XXXX private loan settlement, which has nothing to do with my federal loan. 

I am requesting : XXXX. A full review of my forgiveness eligibility under federal IDR/PSLF rules XXXX. A refund of all payments made after the forgiveness point, if applicable XXXX. A written statement of my final forgiveness status and any refund owed This request is based on U.S. Department of Education guidancenot servicer discretionand should be evaluated accordingly.
