Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
i just spent 1 hour of wasted phone minutes trying to place extended fraud alert through what i thought was equifax phone numbers. i tried doing it automated and it sent me to another language. i XXXX  equifax & got this site : https : //www.equifax.com/personal/contact-us/ so i wanted to speak to a human & called the listed # XXXX and got someone from XXXX. i told them i wanted to place fraud alert, because i didn't know if my initial fraud alert was 90 days or a year. he proceeded to ask? to confirm identity which i confirmed, until he asked me for the date of my initial placement of fraud alert. i told him i did not have paperwork or could even remember that was why i was calling him. HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANOTHER? AFTER I HAD ALREADY CONFIRMED MY IDENTITY. i ask to speak to supervisor because this XXXX was enraging me after i had already spent 1 wasted  hour on just trying to place an alert through automation. then he put me on hold for spite. THIS XXXX OF XXXX NEEDS TO BE FIRED. NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT I DID NOT EVEN CALL THE LEGITIMATE EQUIFAX CREDIT BUREAU PHONE #. 
ANYWAY, i called XXXX  and a XXXX cs agent confirmed that my initial fraud alert is still good till XX/XX/2020. THE SUPPOSED EQUIFAX CS AGENT DID NOT HAVE THIS INFO, SO NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS SITE & PHONE # IS A SPOOFED SITE TO REDIRECT EQUIFAX CUSTOMERS TO IDENTITY THIEVES. 

PLEASE, PLEASE WILL SOMEBODY CONFIRM THE IDENTITY OF THIS SITE & PHONE # AS BEING THE LEGITIMATE EQUIFAX CREDIT BUREAU.

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

Complaint:
I have been paying my private student loans since XXXX but I thought enrolling in a lower interest program was helping me but what was happening was the capitalized interest was simply being added to balance. I have tried consolidating these loans but because they are private they do not qualify. And other lenders are not will to give me a {$60000.00} loan for these. Basically even with my payments all these years my balances have not gone down very much and most of them say estimated payoff dates of year XXXX and XXXX. I have also applied for discharge for schools that are no longer accredited ( XXXX and XXXX ), which many of these loans are from, and of course they never qualify. I feel like I am being robbed and will never pay these off. I wish I had never gotten these loans and the truth is I don't even think any of the classes were credited towards my degree. I have reached out to the servicer and all they do is tell me my payment history and federal student aid refers me back to the servicer. I never thought these loans would be this terrible and never ending. Aside from that the interest has risen up to 8 % and even 10 %. 

I am providing a loan detail sheet from the servicer from XX/XX/XXXX and then one from XX/XX/XXXX and you will see how little the balance has gone down. It also has the whole payment history for your review. 

I am also including the discharge applications and denial letter.
