Consumer complaint received 2023-04-08
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
The most recent letters that I have sent to Equifax disputing the inaccurate information on my credit report were sent on XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. Instead of removing or even responding to the inaccurate personal information and accounts ( that I have been disputing inaccuracies for over months ), they repeatedly send me letters to STALL by stating they need XXXXwo documents for identification and current address. Here 's where the biggest problem is and COMPLETE violation of my rights. Every single letter I have sent to Equifax includes my Driver 's License for identification and Current Address, my Social Security Card for another form of identification, and a utility bill for another proof of address! I send THREE forms of documents WITH my letters to Equifax. Yet, their response to me is " Please return this letter along with the requested information and your original correspondence/request to the address below ''. WHY would I need to send in the same documents that were included in my original letters? Please see the attached letters sent to Equifax WHICH CONTAIN the identification and current address documents that they state that they need in order to " process without delay ''. Equifax is clearly operating ILLEGALLY. They continue to stall. Please see two letters sent by Equifax attached sent to me one day apart. They send multiples of these letters even though the documents they are requesting was included in ALL of my letters to them!! Equifax needs to remove the inaccurate information immediately. After multiple dispute letters to Equifax, I have received no resolution. They are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I demand that Equifax take immediate action to correct the inaccurate information on my credit report and provide me with a prompt resolution to my disputes. Failure to do so will result in legal action being taken against your company for violating consumer protection laws. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you on this matter, for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), you may be liable for you willful non-compliance. For the record, I am attaching the two most recent letters sent to you on separate occasions. Items in the letters need to be removed. It has been over 6 months of me disputing this inaccurate information. It is illegal for them still to be on my credit report! It is illegal for you to keep stalling!

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
I worked full time in 2 nonprofit XXXX agencies from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I began paying on my student loans in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was experiencing financial hardship due to an unexpected divorce. I contacted XXXX XXXX/navient in an effort to reduce my payment and was informed forbearance was my only option. I was not offered an income based repayment option. 

I began paying again on my loans in XX/XX/XXXX, when I also consolidated to an eligible PSLF loan with an eligible IBR payment plan and have not missed a payment since. Due to being advised to put my loans in forbearance for 5 years, those years are ineligible for PSLF forgiveness. If I had been offered a reduced payment based on my income, those years would have counted.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA the 3 credit bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

If the credit bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.
