Company: Maximus Education, LLC dba Aidvantage
State: IL
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX at the US Department of Education because I tried to get approved to buy a house and the mortgage company said I had student loans. XXXX said that I have a student loan in default from when I attending a trade school in the XXXX XXXX I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to try and get my XXXX  degree in XXXX. The school was investigated and found to be a non creditable school and was shut down. I was unable to complete my degree for this reason. 

When I applied for a mortgage loan, the student loan popped up on my credit report which I was unaware that it was still on my credit report. My understandings were that since the college was found un-creditable, my student loans would be taken care of since I could not complete my degree. To my surprise, XXXX told me that my loan was held with XXXX XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, the US Department of Education took over this loan because the XXXX XXXX went out of business. 

I have not been notified through mail or via phone of this loan with either federal loan companies. I was unaware I even still had a student loan debt, until I applied for a house. XXXX directed me to complete a complaint form to try and dispute this loan to be removed from default so I can purchase a home. 

I need to be directed on how I can get this loan removed from my credit report and how I can get this loan forgiven. I was under the impression that when the college was declared, un-creditable for a degree, that my student loans that I took out to receive a creditable degree, would be forgiven or bought back.

Complaint:
I received an alert that this was added on my credit report. I have never heard of the original creditor or the collection agency.

This company is known to scam and it is causing me stress because I just finally cleared my credit not even a month ago and all of a sudden this account just appears out of nowhere. I need this deleted or removed please. I do not own this debt and didn't have any documents to support that this is mine because I have never heard of either said company.

Issue: Getting the loan

Complaint:
I have had a personal account with Citizens Bank for many years and a year ago opened a business account for my XXXX XXXX. Subsequently applied for a XXXX loan on XXXX of this year and it was completely mishandled. I called about XXXX times since then, was told at one point it was approved and was just waiting on funding information. When I didn't receive anything, I called again and was told whoever I spoke to informed me incorrectly. That's a BIG mistake to make. After waiting two months from my initial application date, I was finally informed on XX/XX/XXXX it was denied, and that it never actually made it to the XXXX, which I was also misinformed of XXXX I was told on one call it was with the XXXX XXXX. Why it took bank XXXX two months to deny my application, why customer service reps couldn't provide consistent or accurate information, and why my app was denied when I have been self-employed in my current business since XX/XX/XXXX and am eligible under XXXX guidelines, I have no idea, but I am extraordinarily unhappy with how I have been jerked around and misinformed as a female XXXX XXXX XXXX. This round of XXXX was supposed to provide additional opportunities for someone like myself and it has done anything but. Furthermore, due to the delay, loan funds have been depleted and I am unable to apply somewhere else. No one I have spoken to thus far, including the branch where I opened my account, has seemed overly concerned with my situation. I was told that the only group that could assist me with the loan was " XXXX XXXX, '' which was reachable only via email and not phone. I emailed " XXXX XXXX '' a week ago and have not received a response. I was told by the branch where I opened my account that they don't have access to XXXX info and could not help me. How can a lending institution operate with this lack of transparency?

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute and request the removal of fraudulent items from my credit report. I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the fraudulent accounts mentioned above and promptly remove them from my credit file. 

I understand that you may need some time to conduct your investigation, but I kindly ask that you notify me of the progress and provide updates as soon as possible.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Sub-issue: Threatened to arrest you or take you to jail if you do not pay

Complaint:
Received letter from Midland Credit Management stating it was a 'pre-legal notification ' and that they were 'considering forwarding this account to an attorney in your state for possible litigation. ' Gave them a call. Representative had a heavy accent and there was a lot of background noise in heavy accents. Hard to understand sometimes. Asked rep to verify the debt. They were insulted that I asked to do that. Explained that the current situation with coronavirus made it very difficult for us to make any payment arrangements because of unpredictability. Current financial situation was not good. Asked about making specific amount payment to show good faith. Rep was upset and said that if I do not agree to their terms of {$100.00} bi-weekly, they will send my account to an attorney and have me thrown into jail. 
I told them that it was not appropriate to threaten me in this manner. They said that it was appropriate because I was not cooperating. I refuted this by saying I made the call and made the offer to do a good faith payment. They then mocked me by saying 'If you don't have the money, why did you give us a call in the first place? ' I again made the offer to make a good faith payment - and if I could make the payment online. They then insisted that there was no website and that payment could only be done on the phone with them and only if I was willing to agree to {$100.00} bi-weekly automatically taken out of my account. Their letter states they have a website at midlandcredit.com.  When they said that, I said your letter has that info - they again denied that they had a website. They then asked why I had not verified who they were - why didn't I ask them for their info. 
I said again that it was not appropriate to threaten or belittle me. They then claimed that they never threatened me with throwing me into jail. I responded 'bull ' and they hung up on me.
