Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from TRANSUNION associated with XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 
Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, TRANSUNION has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

Company: MOHELA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I called Mohela at their customer service number around XXXXXXXX XXXX on Thursday, XX/XX/year>. After navigating through the automated menu, I was told I would connect with a representative in 32 minutes. After waiting on hold for 53 minutes, I connected to a representative who confirmed my information and then told me that to she needed to transfer me to another department. I was then placed on hold and the automated system told me that the wait time would be 136 minutes. I had to get back to my job, so I had to hang up. 

I called later the same day, around XXXXXXXX XXXX  and after navigating through the automated menu and waiting for another 50 minutes or so, I was again connected to a representative. They took my information and then told me again that I would need to be transferred to another department. I asked them why since I had never needed to be transferred before, and they told me that a new department was set up the previous week that was now tasked with handling all issues related to forbearance, the reason I was calling in the first place ( Mohela still has not processed my SAVE plan forbearance despite receiving my application on XX/XX/year> by their own admission ). I asked if I could contact that office directly and the representative told me that there was no number to callin short, no. I was again placed on hold but my phone battery died before I could get connected with the office that apparently is solely responsible for handling a forbearance. 

Given that Mohela has a well documented program of call deflection ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I can only assume this is part of a strategy to prevent borrowers from being placed into forbearance. Moreover, the only reason that I need to be placed in a temporary forbearance is because Mohela has still not, and seemingly has no intention, of ever placing me in the long-term SAVE forbearance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for refusing to correct outdated and inaccurate personal information on my credit report, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple requests, Experian has continued to include incorrect versions of my name and addresses where I have never resided. I have provided my current, verified personal information ; however, Experian has failed to update my report accurately. 

Violations of the FCRA : Inaccurate Information Reporting ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) Under Section 609 of the FCRA, credit bureaus are required to maintain accurate and verifiable consumer information. Experians refusal to update my report, even after I provided verified information, violates this requirement and affects my creditworthiness. 

Inclusion of Unauthorized Information Experians retention of incorrect names and outdated addresses without my authorization infringes on my rights to accurate reporting. Retaining unauthorized data that I did not validate is not only inaccurate but also damaging to my credit history. 

Impact on My Financial Standing : The presence of incorrect names and outdated addresses on my credit report is negatively impacting my credit score, harming my financial reputation, and limiting my access to credit. This lack of accurate information has created barriers to my ability to conduct personal and financial transactions.
