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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I've reviewed my credit report. After requesting validation, It occurred that this item had not been verified with accuracy and completeness, as required by FCRA. I contacted XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, asking to verify payment in full; was received in the amount of {$280.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ; in exchange for removal. However, this account is inaccurately reported as a closed and paid collection account. I spoke with XXXX from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, approx. XXXX XXXX. She stated they were not a collection agency, but a guarantor. However, my credit report is reporting as a collection account ( Please see attached ). 
This collection account exceeds the statute of limitation, is reported without my consent and is being reported against my right to privacy. It also violates my right to privacy, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I, the consumer have the right to confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with FCRA. This account must be discontinued from reporting and deleted!

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Complaint:
I requested a refund on XX/XX/XXXX for a payment made on XX/XX/XXXX of {$21000.00} on my student loans with FedLoan Servicing. I am entitled to the refund according to the CARES Act. As of today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I have not seen my balance reinstated on my account or a refund, despite being originally told this would occur in 30 to 45 days. I am submitting a complaint due to the following : ( 1 ) FedLoan says they are unable to send a confirmation email or letter confirming my request for a refund has been submitted. 
( 2 ) FedLoan says they can not provide updates on where in the process the request is, only that it was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. 
( 3 ) The timeline for seeing the account balance reinstated and a refund issued has increased exponentially with each call I have made requesting an update on the account. When the request was made on XXXX XXXX the timeline was 30 to 45 days. 3 weeks ago the timeline was moved to 60 to 75 days. As of XX/XX/XXXX the estimated timeline is now 4 to 6 months. 

The inability to provide confirmation of request for a refund combined with no updates on the process and a continually growing timeline is unethical. I have received confirmation of others who requested refunds AFTER I had put in my request and received theirs within 2 to 4 weeks. I am very concerned FedLoan is not following through with their financial obligations to keep consumers informed and appropriately process requests in a timely manner.

On XX/XX/XXXX my daughter moved out of her apartment at XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX the company billed and withdrew the monthly rent amount from my bank account of {$470.00} for the month of XXXX even though it should have been prorated because the lease ended XX/XX/XXXX.

I paid a full month rent and they have sent my account to collections. If I paid rent for the entire month of XXXX how am I being charged a holdover fee. The rent should have been prorated or the holdover fee should not apply. Myself and my daughter has tried to contact the office but it will only allow you to leave a message and they will not return our calls to discuss the matter. Today we received another notice dated XX/XX/XXXX request payment. I spoke with the collection agency and informed them that I disagreed with the amount owed.

In addition they charged {$120.00} to paint a wall that had no damage they was only normal wear and tear.

I submitted a request for the bureaus to check into the validity of an account reporting on my credit report. Today is XX/XX/XXXX Ive sent out this dispute XX/XX/XXXX received word from bureaus that they would check into other disputes but they skipped over this particular dispute. Its been almost a month and a half and I still havent heard a word from either the bureaus updating me on status of whether the creditor verified the debt or changed the status of this reporting account. This is ridiculous seems to often creditors and bureaus look over disputes but are so quick to penalize you for something done wrong.

Marcus froze my account after a transfer, but did not communicate they did it. I discovered it when an auto payment failed from another institution paid monthly for several years. Their failure has cost me money and left me without access to my money. 

I called to fix it, and they couldnt help me. They cant identify my phone number to my name using some secret tool. My number has been the same on the account from the day I opened the account. They offered no assistance except to call back in 1-3 days to validate my identity, which is nonsense. 

Im trapped without access to my savings and wasnt even told. This is insane. They to be fined and penalized for their incompetence.
