Company: Social Finance, Inc.
State: MO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Problem with the interest rate

Complaint:
I have received many mailers and emails from Sofi over the past year encouraging me to apply to refinance my student loan. When I received an email specifically showing the range of rates I could qualify for, I submitted an application for their pre-approval process, which does not involve a credit check. The rate quoted was above my current interest rate, so on XX/XX/XXXX I called to inquire if the rate could go down before I formally applied. The associate I spoke too informed me that if I provided a statement showing my current balance and interest rate, Sofi would match or beat the rate, and that the pre-approval rate was not locked in. Knowing this, I applied later that day, and on XX/XX/XXXX returned a voicemail from the company stating that my loan was approved and I could electronically sign loan documents. 

The associate I spoke to on this day informed me that the approved rate ( which again, was higher than my current rate ) could not be changed. I asked if there was any way to look into a lower rate, and she told me absolutely not. I asked her to withdraw my application. 

I called back on XX/XX/XXXX ( today ), because I realized that Sofi made an inquiry for my credit report, which would potentially negative affect my credit score. I am not happy that I was told that Sofi would be able to match or beat a rate after applying, and then after the inquiry was told they could not. The associate I spoke with told me she was sorry for any misunderstanding, and that I could re-apply and see if I could get a lower rate again, since my current application had been withdrawn at my request. 

After this call, I received a message through Sofi 's message center stating that I could re-apply and provide the Regulation Z TILA disclosure from any loans that I am currently " shopping for '' and that they would consider matching that rate. 

I realize that the company can not " reverse '' a credit inquiry, so there is very little they can do about this. However, I feel it should be reported, as I was strongly encouraged to apply to receive a better rate. I never would have authorized the credit inquiry had I known that my current rate could not be matched or beaten.

Complaint:
Hi, Im confused and XXXX and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
THE COMPANY, MERCANTILE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, PURCHASED A DEBT FROM ANOTHER COMPANY AND I HAD NO INVOLVEMENT WITH THE TRANSACTION ACCORDING TO 15 USC 3002 ( 1 ). I AM AN NATURAL PERSON WHICH MEANS MY NAME IN ALL CAPS IS NOT ME. MY NAME IS XXXX XXXX. 15 USC 1692 ( A ) ( 1 ) The term Bureau means the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are assumed to be credit bureaus and there is only one Bureau and that is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. On XX/XX/1933, Congress enacted HJR-192 to suspend the gold standard and to abrogate the gold clause. This resolution declared that Wheras the holding or dealing in the gold affect the public interest, and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction ; and whereas the existing emergency has disclosed that provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency... Are inconsistent with the declared policy of congress in the payment of debts. This resolution declared that any obligation requiring payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in a amount in money policy ; and.. .Every obligation heretofore or hereafter incurred, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for public or private debts. 15 USC 1681 ( 3 ) ( E ) ( e ) The term investigate consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, codified as 15 USC 1692, you, as a Debt Collector are required by federal law to verify with the physical original written and signed consumer contract on recording, related to the account you are attempting to collect on. Otherwise, anyone paying for your Debt Collection services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
Your failure to verify* this account is trespass on right to privacy and to contract. Under the FDCPA, unverified accounts are considered a Fictitious Obligation and any demand for payment of such is an attempt to extort and administer property without right.
