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: MD

Complaint narrative:
15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, Experian XXXX XXXX is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, Experian, XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entitiesinvolved.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint today against some credit reporting agencies that sharing my personal information without my consent. I have written them a letter saying that I do not consent with them having and sharing my information that they have received from financial institutions because that information is private. This is a violation of 15 USC 6801, 16 CFR 313 and the 1974 Privacy Act. These 3rd party agencies are sharing my addresses, telephone numbers and other personal information. I've called them to removed this information and sent them a letter to opt out and haven't gotten any cooperation. This issue has been affecting the way I do business and has been making it hard for me to receive anything for my family and household goods. I want my anything that has been reporting from financial institutions removed ASAP.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 I sent a letter out to Experian asking them to reinvestigate this account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and remove inaccurate information. Here is my tracking number : XXXX XXXX. 

They sent me their investigation on XX/XX/2024 stating this account is complete and accurate. I looked at my report and everything is still the same and according to 15 USC 1681i 5 they are suppose to do this ( 5 ) treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

and according to 15 USC 1681eb they are supposed to ensure this b ) accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

and according to 15 1681s-2 this is suppose to happen ( A ) reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

( B ) reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, accurate.

Experian really did not reinvestigate, they lied on an official document saying they did something they didnt do and I have the evidence to prove my case

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

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX when the student loan pause ended, Mohela notified me that they were charging me about {$1500.00} a month in repayment. I notified Mohela in writing that I can not afford that payment. When no response came within 4 weeks, I phoned Mohela. During the XX/XX/XXXX call, a new payment plan was set. The new monthly payment was around {$350.00} a month. When statements arrived, the bill did not reflect the new plan. It was the original plan. I sent several messages. When I received responses, Mohela instructed me to call, despite the fact that I asked for the exchange to stay in writing. With no further reply from Mohela, and knowing that a XX/XX/XXXX deadline to self certify was approaching, I called Mohela again. During the XX/XX/XXXX call, I advised that my spouses annual salary decreased. A new payment plan was calculated, putting my monthly payments at around {$250.00}. After the call, I received a notice online from Mohela that they refused to honor the new plan due to an increase in salary or a change in household dependents. I explained in writing that neither was true. If they were counting household decrease, we lost an adult child to XXXX in XXXX, but we did not claim her on our taxes. 
Mohelas reply was a garbage response, saying to call them. Again and again I said I preferred to keep our communication in writing. I have all the messages in my Mohela account. I asked them to honor one of the plans agreed upon during the last two calls. I mentioned the governments invitation to testify and stated that I am a borrower willing to pay. All Mohela has to do is lower my payments and honor one of the agreements made over the phone. Mohelas last message to me was since my situation is so complex, I needed to call. Again, today, I replied that calling is too risky for me because the company does not honor agreements made over the phone. I also said that the situation is not complex. Just honor a pre-agreed plan. I even made an extra payment online. However, even though my loans are on forbearance, if I try to pay less than what they want, Mohela forces borrowers to check a box acknowledging your credit can be ruined by paying less. Refusing to check that box left me unable to make a payment on some loans.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I contacted Newrez Loan Servicing by email. I requested to have my XXXX removed from my loan since I reached the threshold of this being able to occur. I spoke with my prior mortgage finance company three years prior ( before Newrez purchased my mortgage ) and they advised I would need to be living in my house for 3 years along with the loan to value falling below 80 % before XXXX could be removed. These requirements have both occurred and Newrez instructed me I would need to put that request in an email. On XX/XX/2024, Newrez emailed advising they received my request. I followed up on the request a few weeks later over the telephone with loan servicing and was told that Newrez will not remove the XXXX off my loan because of how bad the economy is and that it would cost me {$800.00} to request to have my loan looked at but in their opinion they are not seeing Newrez remove the XXXX for anyone as of lately. The customer service rep. advised she would send me the documentation to complete, but ultimately the XXXX  would not be removed.
