Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I have made consistent payments since at XXXX, possibly even going back to XXXX. Often times I have doubled my payments in an effort to quickly pay down the principle. When I inquired why my principle was not decreasing I was told that when I made extra payments that accelerated my interest, and any additional money I paid only went to interest instead of the principle. So essentially I had just been giving money away. So for probably the past year I have only been making minimum payments, but I have paid no less than {$290.00} per month every month for the past six years and only approximately {$1900.00} has gone to the principle on my loan. For some reason I have 5 separate loans with Navient. Since I've been making minimum payments I notice they are allocated in a way that I will always have a past due balance on at least one of the loans. For example if I have due payments of {$50.00} for each loan, and I make monthly payments {$250.00} ; one month the {$250.00} will only be allocated to the consolidation loans, then the next month it will be allocated to my other loans and the fees and interest from the previous month. Additionally every time I call them always try to talk me into a forbearance, a hold, or a adjusting my monthly payment which I have learned result in higher loan amounts.

Last week ( XXXX XXXX ), got a letter from XXXX  threatening me with the IRS. That letter actually had the account number I asked for months earlier, but they had refused to provide.

XXXX has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you.

Complaint:
XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and previous months.. I have submitted my disputes, requested the investigations, called the agencies to speak with real people. My requests have been ignored. My rights and privacy has been violated and disrespected. My character and reputation have been discriminated against. I have suffered from reciieving credit I deserve, for both personal and business benefits. My family has suffered as well, being denied the financial stability for everyday living. I have been denied auto financing, credit cards and business funding. I have also reported these issues with the CFPB, XXXX, and attorney general. Nothing has been done to ensure that my family and my rights be honored. I have been more that patient with this process and have endured far too much stress and hardship. I am requesting the attention that this matter deserves, I can't provide for my family this way, and that is unacceptable.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Filed XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX The above complaints were filed after I was declined for credit. The reason that I was declined is that I am deceased. I contacted all three major credit reporting agencies ( Experian, XXXX, XXXX ), all three of which denied there was anything on my report, at their agency, that listed me as deceased. I then proceeded to file the complaints listed above. 

After filing those complaints, the response from all three companies was, once again, that they had nothing negative on their records. 

To make a long story short, here is what I found when I looked at Experian today under " Personal statements '' ; " XXXX & XXXX XXXX DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED CERTIFYING THAT THIS CONSUMER IS DECEASED XXXX '' ( see attachment for screenshot ) In addition to the above, my name and my address are listed wrong. And they show an open Mortgage XXXX for {$320000.00}. 

I do not have a real estate loan, my home is paid for, free and clear. In fact, I do not have any loans. The ONLY financial relationship I have is with XXXX Bank. The only accounts I have with XXXX Bank are XXXX checking account, XXXX savings account, XXXX credit card, and XXXX debit card. I do not have any open loans, credit cards, or other accounts of any kind with any other financial institution. 

I attempted to check myEquifax but after entering my log in information I was presented with the following " We can't complete your request at this time. Please call the XXXX XXXX XXXX '' I also attempted to check XXXX account but my log in attempts there were met with Invalid credentials. The same credentials I used in XXXX and XXXX but now they are no good? 

As stated in my previous complaints, all three of the credit information services mentioned above have had inaccurate information on my file for decades. They have continually confused my brothers and my information and obviously continue to do so. 

My brother is DECEASED, I am NOT. 

Please inform these companies that I have made numerous attempts over the years, and obviously recently, to get these errors corrected. This is my last attempt to provide them the opportunity to correct my information prior to exploring my legal options for recourse. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX
