Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
In XXXX, I discovered inaccuracies on my credit report provided by Equifax. The report listed several accounts that I never authorized and was unfamiliar with. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies such as Equifax have an obligation to provide accurate information and conduct thorough investigations when discrepancies are pointed out. 

Upon finding these inaccuracies, I promptly filed a complaint via the CFPB Complaint Portal, demanding that Equifax investigate these accounts and provide proof of their veracity. In the same complaint, I cited 15 USC 1681-2, which explicitly states that an entity should not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. My intention was to resolve these inaccuracies swiftly, as they were affecting my credit score and could potentially lead to more significant financial issues. 

The disputed accounts included multiple XXXX XXXX  accounts ( with duplicate amounts ), a XXXX  account and a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. 

Equifax responded to my complaint by deleting two accounts from my credit file, which I appreciate. However, the remaining accounts were not addressed adequately. Equifax merely stated that these accounts have been " verified '' without providing any substantial evidence. Furthermore, they did not answer my question regarding their adherence to 15 USC 1681-2, leading me to believe that my rights under consumer law may have been violated.

As of today, Equifax has yet to show any proof from the debt collectors that verifies these disputed accounts. Neither have they shown any steps they took to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by these debt collectors. I find this lack of transparency concerning, especially given the potential impact on my credit score and financial stability.

I have reiterated my demands for these unauthorized accounts to be deleted from my credit file and for Equifax to provide clear, documented evidence for their verification. I also stated that if they fail to comply, I would seek legal recourse, including a small claims action against Equifax, for multiple violations including defamation of character, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I now anxiously await a satisfactory response within 5 days, including a revised and accurate credit report. Furthermore, I have also provided a legible and valid proof of my current address, which was previously deemed illegible by Equifax. 

Equifax 's improper use of my consumer report has caused significant distress and financial inconvenience. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was designed to protect consumers like me, and I expect Equifax to uphold its obligations under this law.

State: NJ
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 graduated in XX/XX/2023. Therefore, I am legally entitled to a grace period terminating on XX/XX/2023, for my direct loans. Similarly, I am legally entitled to a deferment for my XXXX XXXX loans terminating on XX/XX/2023. 

I have ten outstanding federal loans with my loan servicer, Aidvantage. Nine of those loans were successfully marked as being in deferment and/or in their grace period. However, one loan was not listed as being in deferment and showed a payment due. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called regarding the erroneous loan status. They told me they requested a ticket and it should be fixed in a week. 

I called a week later on XX/XX/2023, as the error on my account was STILL not fixed. Instead of offering assistance, or rectifying the situation, the customer service agent told ME to have patience with the agency and to expect the issue to be corrected by XX/XX/2023. I requested to speak to her supervisor in an attempt to expedite the fix, but I was placed on a long hold before the call was intentionally terminated. 

I checked and as of this morning, all of my loans have been pulled out of their grace period/ deferment status and ALL are displaying a payment due in two weeks. I'm not sure if this is some retaliation for my persistent calling, or if this is simply yet again another error with Aidvantage 's service. 

I feel so helpless, so frustrated, and so taken advantage of. I am a former homeless youth. I was forced to take out Federal loans as the only option to pay for school, and now I have been violated by predatory loan servicers ( on top of grotesque interest rates ) at the hands of the Federal government. This was an error on my account, entirely the fault of the servicer, and now my credit is going to take a hit. This is so unbelievably wrong.
