Consumer Complaint: My student loans used to be handled by a lending company called XXXX but after I started XXXX for the XXXX and qualified for student loan forgiveness they transferred my loan to a company called XXXX. I have two issues now because XXXX is continuing to report my student debt as well as XXXX so it appears I have twice as much student loan debt on my report than I actually do.. also XXXX has been violated by the Biden administration and my account is in mandatory forbearance pending my income driven repayment agreement which should be set at XXXX continuing once the issue is resolved but XXXX is reporting that my payments are deferred and they keep adding interest to the balance in my credit report but there is supposed to be no interest during the forbearance. I would like XXXX to quit reporting and have it removed from my report and I would like a XXXX to report accurately and update everything but I have had no luck and it has caused me to be denied for a mortgage.

Consumer Complaint: 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, XXXX XXXX Equifax 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, XXXX, Equifax 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 entities involved.

Consumer Complaint: Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

Consumer Complaint: I contacted Equifax to remove some fraudulent accounts from my credit report and they did not investigate the problem at all. They responded with irrelevant information and did NOT provide me with investigation results to my dispute. I was a victim of identity theft, amongst other crimes, and the credit bureaus did nothing to help me to fix this.

Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: The credit reporting bureaus eq XXXX and XXXX failed to delete innaccurate acct information. Specifically XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX created a new acct without my authorization added two years to the original deliquency. Intimidated me with threats of lawsuits as a XXXX XXXX I am entitled to fair protection from abusive practices. I paid in settlement 6 credit balances in exchange for agreement to remove the negative reporting and the 2 collection accts I refuse to pay since I have no relationship to them and they add extra fees of close to {$2000.00}. This is an abuse under the regulations of fcra. Since the credit bureaus have not responded to my requests I would like to ask cfpb to help resolve this, I am unable to get a loan now which means no transportation. no employment and this makes unnecessary hardship to pay my property taxes and support my family thru school. Its very disheartening because I know there have been recent class actions against XXXX XXXX and eq as well as portfolio and security credit services yet they persist in flagrant violations because of profits received at consumer expense and and somehow manage to pay huge litigation costs and settlements yet continue to flout the laws and regulations which provide equity to lowly consumers.

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
