Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX credit report shows FedLoans twice for the same student loan accounts. One listed for $ XXXX the other for $ XXXX, with XX/XX/XXXX stating I have $ XXXX in student loan debt. I have $ XXXX per the Dept of Education and FedLoans. Same day I contacted my acct rep with FedLoans, he stated one will fall off give it a month. Same day I filed a dispute with XX/XX/XXXX on the $ XXXX, denied it. Verified with the Dept of Education no one called or placed a verification request for total amount of distributed student loans.The person handling the disputes states consumer doesnt agree with FFCRA. Never mentioned FFCRA as I have no issue with 0 % interest yet but yet now I owe more money since XXXX. FedLoans is charging me {$50.00} a month to service my {$0.00} payment plan, yet my interest went up when it should be 0 % from XX/XX/XXXX onward through I believe XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX - Both the $ XXXX and $ XXXX student loans are still showing on my XX/XX/XXXX Credit Report. Placed a dispute with XX/XX/XXXX again, this time under the $ XXXX, sent in documentation to include a print out of my last FedLoan statement and a screen shot of the owed amount per the National Student Loan Database, and the Dept of Education with explanation that they are showing the same accounts with two different amounts combining them for total student debt of $ XXXX which is incorrect. I send an email to my account rep at FedLoan Servicing he calls me back from the East to West Coast, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, to assist me. Basically said FedLoans can not speak to XX/XX/XXXXand that yes it is wrong on theXX/XX/XXXX credit report as I sent him a screen shot. He suggested what I had already done that is to dispute it. XX/XX/XXXX - I called XX/XX/XXXX they said no I have the debt of $ XXXX, and opened another dispute on-top of a dispute. They gave no information on how they verify my student loans and refused to acknowledge that the same accounts are listed twice under the same account number ( s ). I advised it is impossible to take Federal Loans out for an XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX - pulled my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX credit reports to confirm they are reporting correctly of $ XXXX, sent info to XX/XX/XXXX and updated FedLoans. XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX dispute remains unchanged, stated they spoke with the student loan servicer and that the information is correct. Problem is they are verifying one account because you can not combined the two open student loans together, not resolving that these are listed twice. Filing a complaint.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: I offered to settle the amount owing to XXXX in full upon them furnishing the original instrument of indebtedness in its original form. I communicated with them 3 times over the course of several months. I had asked them to provide this verification of the debt legally existing by XX/XX/2020. Not only did XXXX make no attempt to provide me with the original instrument that created the liability, but XXXX didnt even reply to my communications with them. They did, however, harass my extended family members with phone calls. They called the same family members multiple times, informed them that I have a debt, and asked them to pass on messages to me. They did this even though they already had all of my information about how to contact me and communicate with me. Due to their inability to provide the original instrument of indebtedness, I informed them that I considered the matter between us to be legally and financially settled. When they finally did reply to ME and communicate with ME, on XX/XX/XXXX, they included something that was NOT the original instrument of indebtedness and continued to try to collect the debt. The letter from XXXX was simply signed XXXX, Customer Communications. There is no last name because nobody wants to be held liable for pursuing to collect an unverifiable debt. I am now being harassed by PHEAA, Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, with whom I have no contractual relationship. They are third party interlopers, have no knowledge of the matter between myself and XXXX, and have no business what-so-ever harassing me. I have disputed the debt with them and informed them that the debt was legally and financially settled. It seems to me that there is no original instrument of indebtedness in existence which, again, settles the matter legally and financially.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: I am working towards loan forgiveness through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program. I should be credited with making approximately 115 " qualifying payments. '' Fedloan is crediting me with 94 " qualifying payments. '' Lump sum payments were previously made on my behalf through the US Department of Justice / XXXX XXXX Justice program. Fedloan has credited these lump sum payments made while my loans were being serviced by Fedloan as " qualifying payments, '' but has not yet credited the lump sum payments made while my loans were serviced by XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. Fedloan has been performing this review for nearly two years. Customer service will not give me an estimate of when the review will be complete. I'd estimate it would take less than one day to actually review my payment history and credit the payments. Fedloan will not permit me to communicate by phone or email with the department performing the review. Contacting Fedloan results in more " reviews, '' but never an actual answer. I've previously filed a complaint in XX/XX/2019. Fedloan responded by saying they were conducting their review. They never actually completed this review, yet the complaint was " closed. ''

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: I graduated college in XX/XX/XXXX. My payments started in XXXX. My loan payments are handled through AES Success and they have been nothing but the absolute WORST. I originally had 4 separate loan sequences on my AES account all under my name and account number. Loan sequence # 3 was credited back to my account on XX/XX/XXXX due to a misunderstanding with my school. I fully paid off Loan sequence # 1 on XX/XX/XXXX. This left me with two remaining loans- sequence # 2 and # 4. Due to a high interest rate, I opted to refinance loan sequence # 2 with XXXX. XXXX processed my refinancing request and paid AES on XX/XX/XXXX. AES disbursed the money incorrectly, instead of fully paying off loan sequence # 4 they paid off half of loan sequence # 2, half of loan sequence # XXXX and added my, what should have been fully refinanced, loan sequence # 5. When I spoke to AES, I was told " it does not matter, the amount is still the same ''. When I explained it does matter because it effects my interest and it is not what was supposed to happen I was given a hard time about getting it redistributed. XXXX was great, offered to call AES and help me get it figured out. Eventually, AES started the redistribution process and told me to wait to start my monthly payments until my account was corrected and someone would contact me. However, I was never contacted but I checked my account the day my first payment was due. While AES corrected the distribution issue, they still had not address an interest rate reduction I am entitled to through XXXX XXXX loan program. I have been calling AES since I received my diploma to have my .75 interested rate deduction applied and each time all except two AES representatives have had no knowledge of the XXXX XXXX XXXX and tried to tell me I as incorrect. Even when I submitted proof of the documents and requirements. I am still given wrong information and have been told a " request '' would be put in to correct the interest rate over five separate times and nothing has been done. When I logged into my AES account today, my loan balance had tripled. Loan sequence # 1-3 were all showing overdue balances. When I called AES I was told there was no payment history on my account and that they " lost '' my payments and the refinancing money. Once again, was told they are " putting in a request '' to locate over {$25000.00}. None of my payments were refunded to my bank and I spoke with XXXX who said they have not received their payment back either. AES is now trying to locate my money and has put a ridiculous amount of late fees on my account while also not addressing the first issue- my XXXX XXXX interest rate reduction. The majority or the representatives with the acception of three or four, have been condescending, unempathetic and could care less that they " lost '' MY money. I have considered refinancing even if it means a high interest rate just so I don't have to deal with the criminal and unacceptable ways of AES. Funny how if I miss a payment, AES can't wait to charge me a late fee but they haven't been able to preform the services they offer for months and I'm still the one facing the consequences of the incompetent and lazy employees.

Subissue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Consumer Complaint: Hi. I am in the process of applying for Public Service Loan Forgiveness of my federal student loans. They are currently serviced through Fedloans. I have made 122 payments and so should qualify for forgiveness under TEPSLF ( I do not qualify for PSLF as I was in the wrong payment program for several years due to bad information from the loan servicers ). I am having an issue with Fedloans where they are showing numerous payments I made as ineligible for TEPSLF due to " No Bill. '' In addition, numerous payments are marked " pending manual review '' and have said that for several months, with no movement. All in all, the counter on the FedLoans website is showing that I have 64 eligible and 58 ineligible payments for TEPSLF. All of the " ineligible '' payments are from before XXXX when my loans were being serviced by other servicers ( Direct Loans, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, and they all say " No Bill '' or " Pending Manual review. '' I have paid my student loan payment every single month since it first came due in XX/XX/XXXX. I have talked to customer service at FedLoans and they tell me it can take a YEAR for the manual review to occur! As I am eligible for forgiveness right now, I should not have to wait a year due to accounting errors or lack of information in FedLoans own records. Is there any way you could help me resolve this issue?

If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. DISCLOSURE : At no time is this a dispute of identity theft or fraud, and I want my dispute answered by the creditor supplying the information on me to be 100 % validated, and/or to see if the timeline for its existence has passed, or if the credit/collection/public record tradeline is on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act or a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Any item that I believe is not being validated by the creditor or collection agency or public record vendor will be disputed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at a future date. If the item in dispute is legally valid, I will stand by that validation. We only request validation of information and/or debt ownership. At no time will I dispute a credit reporting agency, as it is imperative to the American free markets that XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX maintain integrity for the American consumers. The following federal laws are what I am basing my rights under : Amended consumer rights Fair Credit Reporting Act Public Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 : https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0111-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text I make this request based upon potentially six criteria : 1 ) That I personally agreed and signed a application and/or contract on an extension of credit, and that I may have been late on payments and desire to find an agreed upon timeline when my credit trade line will go to a positive status, or be in position for its legal deletion mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act 7-Year rule on the deletion of antiquated information. 2 ) That there may be items on my credit report that was acquired through a public record vendor, and that I may request a fully documented validation of any or all items posted from public record, and upon discovery may request the deletion of the public record postings based upon legal time limits, and/or completed research proving the settled agreements between myself and a second or third party. In and event, if the public record is legal, I will agree upon the trade line being maintained on my credit report until the time arrives where it can legally be removed. 3 ) I may dispute any collection agency that maintains that they are attempting to collect a debt, either for an original creditor I may have had an association with, or if the collection agency maintains that they have acquired the debt. I may request from the debt collector full documentation of assignment of debt collection in written form as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission, including but not limited to verification that the collection agency is bonded and legally approved to collect debts from consumers within my state of residency, and if the agency maintains that the debt has been acquired by purchase, then full documented history of the debt transfer either directly from the original creditor and/or from the securitized trust the debt may have been sold to in a debt portfolio administered through the full regulatory body of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I may in addition request such documentation through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation if that is indeed the governing body of the original credit grantor. 4 ) I will dispute all public utility payment histories including the collection process assigned to any collection agency, as all public utilities including cell phone charges, natural gas, electric and public violations within municipalities are not governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, but by governing bodies within each state known as public service commissions. At no time will I ever agree upon the postings of public utilities on my credit report, even though I understand that I may volunteer to add my payment histories of this nature at any time. 5 ) I may request the services of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help me as a potential mediator in cases where I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are in violation. At all times I will maintain a professional demeanor on the clearance of negative information on any of my credit reports. 6 ) I will only file a direct complaint with any credit reporting agency if I believe enough evidence has been ascertained showing that the creditor, collection agency and/or public service vendor is in violation of their subscriber agreement with any credit reporting agency. I may dispute excessive inquiries posted on my credit reports based on the following. As the Federal Trade Commission struggles every year with maintaining the integrity of the credit community, from filing charges against illegal collection practices that abuse against the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), bigger problems have evolved that may never be addressed without Congressional overhaul on current legislation. There is one major problem in the XXXX scoring models implemented with each major credit reporting agency ( XXXX ). The excessive use of credit checks that draw down ones credit scores, and in many cases these credit reports are run as a full inquiry that causes severe damage to a persons credit score even though there was no validation on approval to pull credit or as the FCRA states a legitimate business need. Accordingly ; I may request under my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) I request a full validation of each posted inquiry, proving that I indeed signed a credit authorization for each inquiry.

LEGAL DISPUTE ON EXCESSIVE INQUIRY PRACTICES INTO A CONSUMER REPORT WITHOUT PROPER DISCLOSURES IN PLACE AND/OR ABUSIVE EXTENSION OF LEGITIMATE BUSINESS PURPOSES, THIS IS THE ACTUAL GUIDELINES OF OBTAINING CONSUMER REPORTS UNDER THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT As a public service, the staff of the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) has prepared the following complete text of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Although staff generally followed the format of the U.S. Code as published by the Government Printing Office, the format of this text does differ in minor ways from the Code ( and from West 's U.S. Code Annotated ). For example, this version uses FCRA section numbers ( 601-625 ) in the headings. ( The relevant U.S. Code citation is included with each section heading and each reference to the FCRA in the text. ) 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ) In general. Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

( 4 ) In response to a request by the head of a State or local child support enforcement agency ( or a State or local government official authorized by the head of such an agency ), if the person making the request certifies to the consumer reporting agency that ( A ) the consumer report is needed for the purpose of establishing an individual 's capacity to make child support payments or determining the appropriate level of such payments ; ( B ) the paternity of the consumer for the child to which the obligation relates has been established or acknowledged by the consumer in accordance with State laws under which the obligation arises ( if required by those laws ) ; ( C ) the person has provided at least 10 days ' prior notice to the consumer whose report is requested, by certified or registered mail to the last known address of the consumer, that the report will be requested ; and ( D ) the consumer report will be kept confidential, will be used solely for a purpose described in subparagraph ( A ), and will not be used in connection with any other civil, administrative, or criminal proceeding, or for any other purpose. ( 5 ) To an agency administering a State plan under Section 454 of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 654 ) for use to set an initial or modified child support award. ( b ) Conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. ( 1 ) Certification from user. A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report for employment purposes only if ( A ) the person who obtains such report from the agency certifies to the agency that ( i ) the person has complied with paragraph ( 2 ) with respect to the consumer report, and the person will comply with paragraph ( 3 ) with respect to the consumer report if paragraph ( 3 ) becomes applicable ; and ( ii ) information from the consumer report will not be used in violation of any applicable Federal or State equal employment opportunity law or regulation ; and ( B ) the consumer reporting agency provides with the report, or has previously provided, a summary of the consumer 's rights under this title, as prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission under section 609 ( c ) ( 3 ) [ 1681g ]. ( 2 ) Disclosure to consumer. ( A ) In general. Except as provided in subparagraph ( B ), a person may not procure a consumer report, or cause a consumer report to be procured, for employment purposes with respect to any consumer, unless -- ( i ) a clear and conspicuous disclosure has been made in writing to the consumer at any time before the report is procured or caused to be procured, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure, that a consumer report XXXX be obtained for employment purposes ; and XXXX ii XXXX the consumer has authorized in writing XXXX which authorization XXXX be made on the document referred to in clause XXXX i ) ) the procurement of the report by that person. ( B ) Application by mail, telephone, computer, or other similar means. If a consumer described in subparagraph ( C ) applies for employment by mail, telephone, computer, or other similar means, at any time before a consumer report is procured or caused to be procured in connection with that application -- ( i ) the person who procures the consumer report on the consumer for employment purposes shall provide to the consumer, by oral, written, or electronic means, notice that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes, and a summary of the consumer 's rights under section 615 ( a ) ( 3 ) ; and ( ii ) the consumer shall have consented, orally, in writing, or electronically to the procurement of the report by that person.

( 3 ) Conditions on use for adverse actions. ( A ) In general. Except as provided in subparagraph ( B ), in using a consumer report for employment purposes, before taking any adverse action based in whole or in part on the report, the person intending to take such adverse action shall provide to the consumer to whom the report relates -- ( i ) a copy of the report ; and ( ii ) a description in writing of the rights of the consumer under this title, as prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission under section 609 ( c ) ( 3 ). XXXX NON-FCRA OPT-OUT TAKEN - HARD INQUIRIES DISPUTES : I have opted out of my public information with XXXX, and I believe that requesting the deletion of any inquiry based on any legitimate connection to a public record vendor such as XXXX is within my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act ( FACTA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In review of the numerous hard copy disputes on my credit report, I am requesting only the proper protocol to be adhered to in order to maintain the legitimacy of the hard inquiry, that includes an actual name of the person involved with any company that pulled a hard review of my credit history, but in addition a copy of the actual report ascertained from such a review. If these items can not be produced, then by deductive reasoning the hard inquiry is bot 100 % legitimate. Accordingly, under review of 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ), I request the deletion of the following lists of hard inquiries as follows : I demand my rights be protected based on the 2020 Edition of the Privacy Act published by the U.S. Department of Justice. B. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( a ) ( 2 ) Individual [ T ] he term individual means a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( a ) ( 2 ). Comment : The Privacy Acts definition of individual is much narrower than the FOIAs definition of person, which draws from the Administrative Procedures Act. See 5 U.S.C. 551 ( 2 ) ( 2018 ) ( defining person as an individual, partnership, corporation, association, or public or private organization other than an agency. ) ; see also, e.g., Raven, 583 F.2d at 170-71 ( comparing use of the word individual in the Privacy Act, as opposed to the word person, as more broadly used in the FOIA ) ; Cudzich v. INS , 886 F. Supp. 101, 105 ( D.D.C. 1995 ) ( A plaintiff whose permanent resident status had been revoked is not an individual for the purposes of the Privacy Act.... Plaintiffs only potential access to the requested information is therefore under the Freedom of Information Act. ). The Privacy Act generally covers citizens and lawful permanent residents, but others have some protections. Generally, individuals under the Privacy Act are US citizens and lawful permanent residents. See S. Rep. No. 93-1183, at 79, reprinted in Source Book at 232, https : //www.justice.gov/opcl/paoverview_sourcebook ; OMB 1975 Guidelines, 40 Fed. Reg. at 28,951, https : //www.justice.gov/paoverview_omb-75. The Privacy Act as initially enacted did not generally protect non-resident foreign nationals. See, e.g., Raven v. Panama Canal Co., 583 F.2d 169, 170-71 ( 5th Cir. 1978 ) ( referencing legislative history that reflects the congressional intent to exclude nonresident aliens from Privacy Act coverage ) ; Soto v. State, 244 F. Supp. 3d 207, 208-09 ( D.D.C. 2017 ) ( per curiam ) ( unpublished table decision ) ( citing Fares v. INS, 50 F.3d 6 ( 4th Cir. 1995 ) ) ( [ Privacy ] Act only protects citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence. ). SOFT INQUIRIES DISPUTES : IMMEDIATE ACION REQUIRED : PLEASE INSERT A BLOCK ON MY FILE FROM ALL FUTURE PROMOTIONAL REVIEWS THE FOLLOWING ATTACHED REVIEWS OF MY CREDIT IS A DISASTER AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE AUTHORIZE SO MANY REVIEWS. I HAVE DELETED ALL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX. PLEASE DELETE ALL OF THE ATTACHED CREDIT REVIEWS AS THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AUTHORIZED. PLEASSE BLOCK MY CREDIT REPORT INFORMATION FROM ALL UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES FROM THIS POINT FORWARD : This letter is addressed to the subscriber furnishing the information on my credit reports, and if this letter is addressed to any credit reporting agency, then it is considered a ghost letter mirroring the actual request for documentation of a credit trade line I may have issues with. It is my understanding that each credit reporting agency has an obligation to maintain accuracy within the banking/credit community, and I will fulfill my obligations to work within the credit system as it was designated. Thank you for your full consideration in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. DISCLOSURE : At no time is this a dispute of identity theft or fraud, and I want my dispute answered by the creditor supplying the information on me to be 100 % validated, and/or to see if the timeline for its existence has passed, or if the credit/collection/public record tradeline is on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act or a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Any item that I believe is not being validated by the creditor or collection agency or public record vendor will be disputed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at a future date. If the item in dispute is legally valid, I will stand by that validation. We only request validation of information and/or debt ownership. At no time will I dispute a credit reporting agency, as it is imperative to the American free markets that XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX maintain integrity for the American consumers. The following federal laws are what I am basing my rights under : Amended consumer rights Fair Credit Reporting Act Public Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 : https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0111-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text I make this request based upon potentially six criteria : 1 ) That I personally agreed and signed a application and/or contract on an extension of credit, and that I may have been late on payments and desire to find an agreed upon timeline when my credit trade line will go to a positive status, or be in position for its legal deletion mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act 7-Year rule on the deletion of antiquated information. 2 ) That there may be items on my credit report that was acquired through a public record vendor, and that I may request a fully documented validation of any or all items posted from public record, and upon discovery may request the deletion of the public record postings based upon legal time limits, and/or completed research proving the settled agreements between myself and a second or third party. In and event, if the public record is legal, I will agree upon the trade line being maintained on my credit report until the time arrives where it can legally be removed. 3 ) I may dispute any collection agency that maintains that they are attempting to collect a debt, either for an original creditor I may have had an association with, or if the collection agency maintains that they have acquired the debt. I may request from the debt collector full documentation of assignment of debt collection in written form as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission, including but not limited to verification that the collection agency is bonded and legally approved to collect debts from consumers within my state of residency, and if the agency maintains that the debt has been acquired by purchase, then full documented history of the debt transfer either directly from the original creditor and/or from the securitized trust the debt may have been sold to in a debt portfolio administered through the full regulatory body of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I may in addition request such documentation through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation if that is indeed the governing body of the original credit grantor. 4 ) I will dispute all public utility payment histories including the collection process assigned to any collection agency, as all public utilities including cell phone charges, natural gas, electric and public violations within municipalities are not governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, but by governing bodies within each state known as public service commissions. At no time will I ever agree upon the postings of public utilities on my credit report, even though I understand that I may volunteer to add my payment histories of this nature at any time. 5 ) I may request the services of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help me as a potential mediator in cases where I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are in violation. At all times I will maintain a professional demeanor on the clearance of negative information on any of my credit reports. 6 ) I will only file a direct complaint with any credit reporting agency if I believe enough evidence has been ascertained showing that the creditor, collection agency and/or public service vendor is in violation of their subscriber agreement with any credit reporting agency. I may dispute excessive inquiries posted on my credit reports based on the following. As the Federal Trade Commission struggles every year with maintaining the integrity of the credit community, from filing charges against illegal collection practices that abuse against the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), bigger problems have evolved that may never be addressed without Congressional overhaul on current legislation. There is one major problem in the FICO scoring models implemented with each major credit reporting agency ( CRAS ). The excessive use of credit checks that draw down ones credit scores, and in many cases these credit reports are run as a full inquiry that causes severe damage to a persons credit score even though there was no validation on approval to pull credit or as the FCRA states a legitimate business need. Accordingly ; I may request under my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) I request a full validation of each posted inquiry, proving that I indeed signed a credit authorization for each inquiry.

LEGAL DISPUTE ON EXCESSIVE INQUIRY PRACTICES INTO A CONSUMER REPORT WITHOUT PROPER DISCLOSURES IN PLACE AND/OR ABUSIVE EXTENSION OF LEGITIMATE BUSINESS PURPOSES, THIS IS THE ACTUAL GUIDELINES OF OBTAINING CONSUMER REPORTS UNDER THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT As a public service, the staff of the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) has prepared the following complete text of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Although staff generally followed the format of the U.S. Code as published by the Government Printing Office, the format of this text does differ in minor ways from the Code ( and from West 's U.S. Code Annotated ). For example, this version uses FCRA section numbers ( 601-625 ) in the headings. ( The relevant U.S. Code citation is included with each section heading and each reference to the FCRA in the text. ) 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ) In general.

( b ) Conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. ( 1 ) Certification from user. A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report for employment purposes only if ( A ) the person who obtains such report from the agency certifies to the agency that ( i ) the person has complied with paragraph ( 2 ) with respect to the consumer report, and the person will comply with paragraph ( 3 ) with respect to the consumer report if paragraph ( 3 ) becomes applicable ; and ( ii ) information from the consumer report will not be used in violation of any applicable Federal or State equal employment opportunity law or regulation ; and ( B ) the consumer reporting agency provides with the report, or has previously provided, a summary of the consumer 's rights under this title, as prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission under section 609 ( c ) ( 3 ) [ 1681g ]. ( 2 ) Disclosure to consumer. ( A ) In general. Except as provided in subparagraph ( B ), a person may not procure a consumer report, or cause a consumer report to be procured, for employment purposes with respect to any consumer, unless -- ( i ) a clear and conspicuous disclosure has been made in writing to the consumer at any time before the report is procured or caused to be procured, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure, that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes ; and ( ii ) the consumer has authorized in writing ( which authorization may be made on the document referred to in clause ( i ) ) the procurement of the report by that person.

XXXX NON-FCRA OPT-OUT TAKEN - HARD INQUIRIES DISPUTES : I have opted out of my public information with XXXX, and I believe that requesting the deletion of any inquiry based on any legitimate connection to a public record vendor such as XXXX is within my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act ( FACTA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In review of the numerous hard copy disputes on my credit report, I am requesting only the proper protocol to be adhered to in order to maintain the legitimacy of the hard inquiry, that includes an actual name of the person involved with any company that pulled a hard review of my credit history, but in addition a copy of the actual report ascertained from such a review. If these items can not be produced, then by deductive reasoning the hard inquiry is bot 100 % legitimate. Accordingly, under review of 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ), I request the deletion of the following lists of hard inquiries as follows : I demand my rights be protected based on the 2020 Edition of the Privacy Act published by the U.S. Department of Justice. B. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( a ) ( 2 ) Individual [ T ] he term individual means a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( a ) ( 2 ). Comment : The Privacy Acts definition of individual is much narrower than the FOIAs definition of person, which draws from the Administrative Procedures Act. See 5 U.S.C. 551 ( 2 ) ( 2018 ) ( defining person as an individual, partnership, corporation, association, or public or private organization other than an agency. ) ; see also, e.g., Raven, 583 F.2d at 170-71 ( comparing use of the word individual in the Privacy Act, as opposed to the word person, as more broadly used in the FOIA ) ; Cudzich v. INS , 886 F. Supp. 101, 105 ( D.D.C. 1995 ) ( A plaintiff whose permanent resident status had been revoked is not an individual for the purposes of the Privacy Act.... Plaintiffs only potential access to the requested information is therefore under the Freedom of Information Act. ). The Privacy Act generally covers citizens and lawful permanent residents, but others have some protections. Generally, individuals under the Privacy Act are US citizens and lawful permanent residents. See S. Rep. No. 93-1183, at 79, reprinted in Source Book at 232, https : //www.justice.gov/opcl/paoverview_sourcebook ; OMB 1975 Guidelines, 40 Fed. Reg. at 28,951, https : //www.justice.gov/paoverview_omb-75. The Privacy Act as initially enacted did not generally protect non-resident foreign nationals. See, e.g., Raven v. Panama Canal Co., 583 F.2d 169, 170-71 ( 5th Cir. 1978 ) ( referencing legislative history that reflects the congressional intent to exclude nonresident aliens from Privacy Act coverage ) ; Soto v. State, 244 F. Supp. 3d 207, 208-09 ( D.D.C. 2017 ) ( per curiam ) ( unpublished table decision ) ( citing Fares v. INS, 50 F.3d 6 ( 4th Cir. 1995 ) ) ( [ Privacy ] Act only protects citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence. ). SOFT INQUIRIES DISPUTES : IMMEDIATE ACION REQUIRED : PLEASE INSERT A BLOCK ON MY FILE FROM ALL FUTURE PROMOTIONAL REVIEWS THE FOLLOWING ATTACHED REVIEWS OF MY CREDIT IS A DISASTER AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE AUTHORIZE SO MANY REVIEWS. I HAVE DELETED ALL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX. PLEASE DELETE ALL OF THE ATTACHED CREDIT REVIEWS AS THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AUTHORIZED. PLEASSE BLOCK MY CREDIT REPORT INFORMATION FROM ALL UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES FROM THIS POINT FORWARD : This letter is addressed to the subscriber furnishing the information on my credit reports, and if this letter is addressed to any credit reporting agency, then it is considered a ghost letter mirroring the actual request for documentation of a credit trade line I may have issues with. It is my understanding that each credit reporting agency has an obligation to maintain accuracy within the banking/credit community, and I will fulfill my obligations to work within the credit system as it was designated. Thank you for your full consideration in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: The Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program through the Federal Student Aid website revised the Employment Certification Form to offer the following three options, " 1 ) I just want to find out how many qualifying payments I have made or if my employer is a qualified employer ; 2 ) I believe I qualify for forgiveness under PSLF or TEPSLF right now ; 3 ) If I indicated that I believe I qualify for forgiveness now, I want a forbearance while my application is being processed, but understand that periods of forbearance do not count towards forgiveness. '' The form no longer reflects an option for individuals working towards completing their 120 qualifying payments for federal student loan forgiveness. For example, I am a government employee and certified my employment in XX/XX/XXXX ; I will certify again in XX/XX/XXXX to receive credit toward PSLF since the twelve qualifying payments from XXXX have not yet been credited to my loan account. The revised employment certification form does not appear to reflect the information required in order for me to certify and receive credit from FedLoan Servicing for the 12 qualifying payments over the past year.
