Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Finally got information from XXXX in regards to deferment policy through this forum. They stated in-school deferment periods for XXXX studies and XXXX studies. According to their policy, I still have in-school deferment time for XXXX studies. FIRSTMARK SERVICES was servicing my loan while I was enrolled in XXXX  studies in 2020. FIRSTMARK SERVICES decided to put my loans in repayment at the same time I was enrolled in 2020. I have not exceeded 4 years of XXXX  studies. Labeling my loan as Delinquent was done in error and they wrongfully charged off the loan. Furthermore, XXXX nor Firstmark NEVER made me aware of their deferment policy. None of the paperwork I received or signed states a specified time period of deferment. I was only informed that as long as I was in school studying, that my loans would be in deferment. I was never warned of a deferment cut-off. It is unreasonable and unethical to hold me accountable for a policy that I was never made aware of. Plus, FIRSTMARK SERVICES refusal to admit fault in wrongfully placing my loan in repayment is unprincipled. My loan should not be in collections. 

The Attached document will show highlighted section that states time period for in-school deferment while pursuing XXXX  studies. It will also show that the company only gave me deferment for XXXX studies.

Complaint:
I have sent a debt validation notices to the creditor and only receive a verification of the debt instead of a validation of the debt. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ( FDCPA ), a credit is supposed to respond with the original creditors name, address, and account number and not report to the credit bureaus nor attempt to collect until they have responded. This creditor has not responded and is still attempting to collect, which is in violation of the FDCPA.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I received an email congratulating me on a new Kohl 's card that I did not request or open. I immediately called the Kohl 's charge services number and reported the fraudulent card. I was told someone from the fraud department would reach out to me via call or email. I asked whether the account would be closed immediately or at least blocked until the investigation was completed and it could be closed. The representative just said, " don't worry, ma'am, they will handle this correctly. '' I never heard from anyone and then received the physical card in the mail ready for activation. This was over a week after my call. On XX/XX/2022, I called the Kohl 's charge number again because even though I disputed the inquiry on my credit reports, the account still appeared as one of my accounts. This could have been prevented by closing the account on XX/XX/XXXX as I requested due to true identity fraud. When I called in XXXX, I was told the fraud department wouldn't have reached out to me and that the information I was provided was incorrect. I was given a separate phone number to call instead of connected directly to the fraud department. The account should never have been opened, and my credit report should not be affected by the identity theft that occurred. The inquiries were not even posted yet when I called in the first time.

Complaint:
XXXX  XXXX  ( Several accounts in my name that are negative ) I challenge the accuracy, compliance and reportability of this listing. no valid claims ... accounts were settled with my assistance provider and I was informed that no late fees would be reported because of their delays and system issues with processing my aid ... grave errorsfalse claims and reportingI want these accounts rectified immediately or litigation may follow. You can not report late payments that are incorrectthis is unlawful You must provide me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. Please be advised this is against F.C.R.A. law and is a violation of my rights.. I have previously disputed the above-mentioned student loan payment history. Be advised that there are no regulations promulgated by the DOE and the FCRA that restrict you from updating/correcting past payment history. By failing to update previously reported information, you are in violation of Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. Be advised that the Holder Rule protects consumers claims & defenses against a creditor or assignee 16 C.F.R. 433. The advisory opinion goes on to state that the Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA addresses the duty to correct and update information by furnishers, or persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) such as credit bureaus. In particular, this section requires a person that has furnished to a consumer reporting agency information that the person determines is not complete or accurate promptly notify the consumer reporting agency of that determination and provide any information needed to make it complete and accurate. Thus, on its face, this provision requires a furnisher to provide corrected or updated information to the consumer reporting agency that it had reported to originally. This duty extends to student loan accounts reported to CRAs, regardless of whether they were accurate at one point, because the section requires the furnisher both to update accounts as well as to correct even if the loan was correctly reported as delinquent, but has subsequently been paid.
