Consumer Narrative
Complaint filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, as authorized representative of XXXX XXXX under attached assignment/authorization agreement. I previously submitted a written dispute to DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELNET dated XX/XX/year>, regarding an account that is being inaccurately reported on my credit file. Despite providing all the necessary identifying information and requesting verification under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELNET has failed to respond, verify, or correct the information within the required thirty ( 30 ) days. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the furnisher of information is required to conduct a reasonable investigation once a dispute has been received. Since DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELNET did not provide any documentation to substantiate the accuracy of the reported account, they are now in noncompliance with federal law and continue to furnish unverifiable and misleading data to the credit bureaus. This inaction has caused harm to my consumer credit profile and has obstructed my efforts to maintain accurate and fair reporting. I am therefore seeking the CFPBs intervention to ensure DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELNET s immediate compliance with FCRA requirements. DEPT OF EDUCATION/NELNET XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
