Company: AES/PHEAA
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint:
AES refuses to assist me with a reasonable payment option for my ALPLN loan. I am not able to make the current amount ( it is an entire paycheck at my current wage ) and they simply state there is no other options. If the current situation continues it will cause great undue hardship upon me and my family. Take note that I have made timely payments since for years now. I sincerely asked that they provide me with any option and they stated I had used all my options. They offered to lower another loan amount ( only temporary of course and they make it sound like this option is there to help me of course its going to put a lot more money in their pocket ) but of course that would lead to paying a greater amount of interest on that loan leaving me worse off than I am currently. I want to repay my debt however they make it impossible, the interest rates are completely unaffordable. I soon as I feel like Im on top of this situation they pull the rug out! I have paid more than enough interest for them to tell me there is not an option is completely cutthroat on their part. If they truly cared about the consumer they would take into consideration the individuals income or help them by finding an interest rate that is affordable and profitable for the company. AES is taking away the future of the students it supposedly served to help obtain a solid financial future. The university I attended is XXXX University XXXX.

Company: Receivables Management Corporation
State: SC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
They called me and left a voicemail saying I should call them back for personal reasons that they did not disclose. They never said who they were or what they do. When I called they refused to disclose any information before I could verify my full name, address, social, and date of birth. They said they did n't have a physical address to give me when I asked for it. 

To me this sounds like someone who makes a living out of identity fraud.

In XXXX of 2014, a debt collector working under STP attempted to contact me at work.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
This company has been non-complaint in my request ( s ) for verification of an inaccuracy in their credit reporting, regarding an entry being reported under XXXX/XXXX XXXX. 

This company violated federal law and also failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the said account is being reported accurately. 

I have made several goodwill attempts to have them clear up this matter and they have failed to respond beyond an auto response which has left my request unanswered. 

I have requested that the company validate the reported information with XXXX/XXXX XXXX and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature. In the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally requested with the company in a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file they maintain under my Social Security number. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and represents a very serious error in their reporting. 

I have maintained a careful record of my communications with them for the purpose of filing a lawsuit, they have also been reminded that, as in XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( XXXXl. XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), they will be liable for their willful non-compliance. 

The company was made aware that they had 30 days to complete the investigation, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I kept careful record of their actions, including their Method of Verification. I also documented with the company at the beginning of the investigation that I did not consent to e-oscar or any means of automated verification. 

This company has violated federal law, by not properly investigating within the required timeframe. I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, and they must now remove the item. Any other action ( or in-action ) on their behalf will result in a small claims action against them.
