Product: Student loan

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I received a letter in the mail with a final notice regarding my student loans stating that I needed to make a call to XXXX to be eligible for a payment and loan consolidation program. On XX/XX/2021, I called the number and spoke with a representative XXXX, who informed me that I was eligible for the public service loan forgiveness program in which I would pay {$39.00} for 120 months and after the XXXX months my loans would be forgiven. He said I would have to pay {$1600.00} in doc fees but I was eligible for deductions and it cut down that price to {$990.00}. He then gave me XXXX options pay XXXX payments of {$330.00} or XXXX payments of {$390.00} in which I chose the second option. I provided my bank account information. He also before starting changed my password for my FSA ID ( which I realized after ). He then sent me a link to my email in which I had to sign off on some documents, which I have attached. I asked XXXX what XXXX XXXX were and he stated that it was the agency they used to sign documents. I confirmed my social and signed the documents and submitted them. He then told me I would have to print and sign and submit some paperwork in order for the payment plan to start. After hanging up I researched XXXX XXXX and realized it was a scam. I called my loan agency ( mohela ) and contacted my bank and Im also monitoring my social through credit karma.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This complaint is to Experian Directly, Experian has mishandled my information and is doing nothing to protect my information. I have talked to numerous representative about adding extra security precautions but they are not willing to provide other authentification factors besides questions from my credit report which the fraudster already have. 

I have called them numerous amount of times to change my login information and re add fraud alerts and dispute many items. 

What I would like Experian to be to do is allow the consumer to opt-out of any automated systems, login removals, and add other factors of authentication such as special passwords or two-factor authentication such as password generators or SMS text which only I should have access to. 

The security system in Experian is out-dated and is handled by third-party sources which should not be the case since this information is extremely sensitive. Please have Experian update their security measures and provide more options for the consumer to protect their information.
