State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that my identity had been stolen and used fraudulently. Several unauthorized accounts and credit card transactions were made in my name without my knowledge or consent. I immediately filed a police report with the XXXX XXXX  department on XX/XX/year>, which confirms the identity theft and fraudulent activity. I am attaching a copy of this report as supporting documentation. 

Since discovering the fraud, I have taken the following steps : Contacted the credit bureaus ( Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion ) to place a fraud alert and request a credit freeze. 
Disputed unauthorized accounts and transactions that do not belong to me. 
Filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) through IdentityTheft.gov. 
Contacted the companies where the fraudulent accounts were opened or used, and provided them with the police report and FTC Identity Theft Report. 
I am requesting that all fraudulent accounts, inquiries, and negative items related to this identity theft be removed from my credit report. I am also requesting that my credit be restored to reflect only accounts and information legitimately associated with me. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  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!

Company: MOHELA
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the handling of my student loan account due to what I believe is a violation of my rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ). Specifically, I have reason to believe that my educational records and personally identifiable information were accessed, shared, or exposed without my consent in connection with actions or influence from XXXX XXXX or his associated entities. 

This unauthorized access has caused considerable distress, and I am concerned that it may have contributed to adverse actions related to my student loans, including but not limited to : mismanagement of my repayment status, exposure of my private loan information, or interference in my loan servicing process.

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter, including a review of the data handling practices of my loan servicer ( s ) and any third-party involvement that may have led to this privacy breach.

I am also requesting a formal review of my loan account to determine if any relief, forbearance, or cancellation may be appropriate due to this situation. 

Please let me know what documentation is needed to proceed with this investigation. I am prepared to provide supporting information upon request. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again to follow up on my previous disputes regarding the inaccuracies in my personal information appearing on my credit report. My initial dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive confirmation that my concerns have been addressed or that any corrective action has been taken. Additionally, I sent a follow-up letter on XX/XX/XXXX, but I still have not received a response. 
To reiterate, my correct and up-to-date personal information is : Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, California XXXX Social Security XXXX : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX In my initial dispute, I provided supporting documentation, including a copy of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and my Social Security card, to validate my identity and substantiate my claim. However, the inaccurate addresses remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are legally required to investigate disputes and correct any inaccurate information within the mandated timeframe. Your continued failure to address this matter not only violates my rights but also raises concerns regarding compliance with federal law. 

I am formally requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of the erroneous addresses from my credit report. 
An updated credit report reflecting the corrected information. 
Written confirmation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute. 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving in accurate or unverifiable accounts and unresolved The consumer financial protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit lawsuit against Transunion 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 Transunion 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 Transunion inaction, violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
