Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern We are writing as a collective group of defrauded students and alumni who attended XXXXaffiliated schools, urging immediate action to approve outstanding Borrower Defense applications and provide full relief for those impacted.

Many of us attended the following institutions owned by or affiliated with XXXX, where misrepresentations and predatory practices have been well-documented : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The Department of Education has already found significant evidence of misconduct by these schools. Specifically, XXXX XXXX misrepresented job placement rates to prospective students between XXXX and XXXX, falsely claiming that 90 % of graduates secured jobs in their field of study within six months of graduation. This claim, widely advertised in national campaigns and direct mailings, was later revealed to be grossly inaccurate. XXXX included old jobs held by mid-career students before enrolling and excluded graduates who found employment outside their field of study. 

At its peak, XXXX enrolled nearly XXXX students across campuses in 26 states and through an online program accessible nationwide. The scale of this deception has left countless students burdened with unmanageable debt and limited opportunities, as documented in the Department of Educations Borrower Defense Executive Summary and Statements of Facts.

We are asking you to take immediate steps to : 1. Approve all outstanding Borrower Defense applications for students who attended these institutions.

2. Discharge all loans associated with fraudulent practices, including consolidated loans.

3. Repair borrowers credit reports to reflect the removal of these fraudulent debts.

Delaying action only prolongs the harm caused by these predatory institutions, leaving borrowers unable to move forward with their lives. Many of us pursued higher education to achieve the American Dream, but this dream was stolen by the very institutions we trusted to help us achieve it.

We implore you to act decisively to ensure justice for all borrowers who were misled and exploited. The stakes are simply too high to risk further delays.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous of times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. 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 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!

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the late payment entries on my credit report : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - {$91000.00} These entries are inaccurate and do not reflect my actual payment history. Despite my repeated attempts to have these discrepancies investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have provided all necessary documentation to support my case and have followed up several times, yet these errors remain. This lack of resolution has not only caused financial strain but has also significantly affected my mental and emotional well-being. The stress of dealing with these incorrect entries is overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial behavior, including the right to have outdated or inaccurate information promptly corrected. I urge you to take immediate action to update or correct these late payment entries, as failure to do so is a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill it legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable re-investigation 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 profile evidence to furnishes, accepting unreliable responses and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes, These failures align with my experience, where Experian had 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.

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that my personal information was exposed in a national data breach, compromising my sensitive data. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I identified accounts that I do not recognize or recall opening. I submitted a request to the Consumer Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) for validation of these accounts ; however, the required documentation has not been provided as mandated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). This failure to validate the information and the presence of unverified accounts on my credit report raises significant concerns about the accuracy and security of the data being reported. To address this matter, I have filed an FTC complaint regarding the breach and the unrecognized accounts and attached supporting evidence, including my government-issued ID, a copy of the FTC complaint XXXX the XXXX XXXX Breach Notification report, and a prior Validation of Debt letter.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a high interest 360 savings account at Capital One over a decade ago ( prior XXXX XXXX ) to hold my XXXX XXXX XXXX. During the last 10 years I periodically read about high interest savings accounts to see if I should switch my account but saw that Capital One 360 savings was one of the highest high yield savings accounts. I parked my savings in this account and didn't touch it except to deposit more every now and then. Two weeks ago, around XX/XX/XXXX I decided to use the savings for much needed house repairs. I noticed that the interest payments seems very low, and at a much lower rate than advertised on Capital One 's website. I then learned that Cap One had changed the interest rate on my 360 account years ago, and simply created a new product. I was furious. This is XXXX of dollars. 

A friend forwarded the CFPB 's complaint against Cap One about this very practice. I tried calling Cap One to resolve this issue, and am still on hold, being assigned a case manager, etc.

1. A 12-month CD was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. 

2. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Discover Bank and spoke to a " XXXX in XXXX '' who informed me that my CD Balance on the Maturity date would be {$66000.00}.

The Reference # for this call was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Today, XX/XX/XXXX, the information I received from " XXXX in XXXX XXXX is that the Balance and Term are both less than what was promised ( on XX/XX/XXXX ). XXXX further informed that their Back office was unable to generate the letter the representative " XXXX in XXXX '' assured me I would receive. Unfortunately, this call was suddenly disconnected so I called back and spoke to a Supervisor named " XXXX in XXXX '' XXXX. XXXX suggested that all of the information related to my concern about the lower Rate and Balance was contained in the Discover Bank Disclosures. But, when I informed XXXX that I did not receive the disclosures until months AFTER my money was deposited, he became nervous and began to stutter. At this point, I confirmed that All calls are recorded and requested a Case number and Reference number for my call with XXXX. XXXX provided the following : Case # XXXX and Encounter XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

I also asked XXXX to repeat the Encounter # for the XX/XX/XXXX call with " XXXX in XXXX '' which is XXXX. 

5. The policy of Discover Bank is that I have only nine ( 9 ) calendar Days to withdraw my funds or the full amount will rollover into a new CD 6. My intention is to withdraw the full {$66000.00} before the nine Day period expires.
