Consumer complaint received 2022-09-01
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: NY
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial to request a refund on all payments made throughout the payment pause that started in XXXX which is allowed under the Cares Act. 
I was shocked when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I called them again the next day to inquire about the refund submission process and from everything they told me made it clear that Edfinancial is the culprit in delaying the Refund request submissions to the Department of Education. 

It is clear as daylight that edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, aidvantage are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and people that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until XXXX at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in XXXX. 

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart, and their recent transgressions and shady practices in which they were fined very heavily leaves me to wonder why do they still have their federal loan servicer status. 
PS : CFPB should investigate this company again for their very anti-consumer practices and have their license revoked as a federal loan servicer if found guilty.

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 for student loan payments made since XX/XX/XXXX. I called Edfinancial on XX/XX/XXXX to request this. It took roughly 4 hours to speak with anyone. 

Edfinancial was able to put through my loan request but told me it would take up to 180 days. The total amount I should be receiving is around {$4700.00}. This is a full half year to receive this refund. I am eligible for loan forgiveness and without the refund being processed prior to XXXX, the money from this refund will not be forgiven. 6 months is an incredibly long time to process this and my loan balance needs to be adjusted sooner than that.

Complaint:
I deposited a check for {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022 to regions bank. The check went through fine and was paid to them, but they did not like the way it looked. So they shuttered my account and refused to return any money to me but they keep charging fees on the account. So the money in there is good enough to pay them, but not available for me to use. I went to the local office to discuss it with the manager and was told that all they can do is submit a 'ticket ' because their fraud department has no telephones. It is now XXXX and they still refuse to return my money even though I have given them evidence that there wasn't anything wrong with the check. When I complained that I needed the money one of the employees told me I should have had a back up plan, and I shouldn't deposit checks into regions bank because that is their standard policy to close accounts without notice.

Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 @ XXXX my debit card was used at a XXXX in Arizona . I do not live in Arizona. I have never been to Arizona. I did not make this purchase/rental. I have contacted XXXX and my bank, Bank of America. They both have done their fraud investigation and have decided to charge me {$74.00}. Somebody please help me. I have nothing to do with this transaction other than I am the victim. The best that we can figure out is that someone duplicated my debit card and used it at that location. The actual payment description is Non-EMV Magnetic Swipe. Again, I was not there. I did not make this purchase. Neither company seems to care and just want to collect funds. I have recently contacted the police department in Arizona to see if they can help but beyond that I am not being looked at or protected as a customer and consumer by XXXX or Bank of America. Thank you for your time in reading this and considering any advice/help that you may have for me.

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:
This is my response to the previous response from XXXX XXXX 's letter. This response is not from a third party, this is directly from XXXX XXXX. I have called and left messages with the executive office and have been unable to reach XXXX XXXX. I have disputed the data being reported with the consumer reporting agencies and the furnisher, Citibank , N.A . I have received notices confirming accuracy of reporting ( see attached ). As a furnisher, Citibank, N.A has a duty to provide accurate information. In XXXX XXXX 's letter it is stated, " As a credit provider, we are obligated to report the account accurately to the credit reporting agencies, whether it is favorable or unfavorable to the consumer. '' The information you listed in the attached letter is inaccurate with what is being reported which means you did not conduct a proper reinvestigation. It is clear that Citibank, N.A willfully failed to comply with 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ). Citibank, N.A must be held liable for all damages as specified in 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 U.S. Code 1681o. It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. Citibank, N.A, a financial institution, has transferred my nonpublic personal financial information to a third party without giving me the opportunity to opt out. It appears that this may be a violation of 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ). Non compliance with The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act must be investigated by federal agencies.
