Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
Hi, I called EdFinancial on XX/XX/14 to request a refund of {$20000.00} as I received Pell grants in the past so I believe I would qualify for the full Biden-Harris forgiveness amount.

The agent said they put the request through, but I havent seen any requests or updates made on my account at EdFinancial or StudentAid.gov. Im upset because others were able to receive refunds and then loan forgiveness before the program was put on hold due to Republican challenges.

I cant get an answer from EdFinancial as to whether or not I will receive the refund, or even a timeline of WHEN I will find out if the refund would be approved or not. Ive called to check on the refund 3 times now, and they basically say the same thing which is basically nothing!

Even if the Biden-Harris debt relief program never goes through, I still need the refund due to not having a job currently. I used most of my XXXX money to pay off the {$80000.00} loan, and now wish I feel like I did myself no favors by doing the right thing! All I need is an answer or reasonable timeline regarding the refund, so I can plan my financial life. Theres no reason why EdFinancial keeps giving non-answers! 

Please help! 
XXXX XXXX

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: TX

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
My original account was compromised and to safeguard our funds, we closed and opened a new checking/savings account with PNC Bank . The original acct was checking/savings and they forced upon me a virtual wallet making it virtually impossible to manage my money. I would need two sets of ledgers to balance, when I make deposits and instruct where it should go, it gets deposited to the wrong acct. For example I set up a payroll direct deposit to checking, it ended up in savings. I am constantly having to move things to the correct account to pay bills. They are like sorry, can't go back to just chk/svgs. I would close my account except my mortgage and a personal loan are with them so I feel forced to stay. It is harder to manage things as I get older ( age XXXX ). Also even at the ATM it does not let you select checking or savings, it has you select an account number which who remembers that anyway? Now I have 5 accounts with the same lender, checking, savings, a loan, a mortgage and now a virtual wallet. It is not right to force this upon consumers. I had to transfer my paycheck on XX/XX/XXXX from svgs to chkg and when I went to bill pay the drop down for checking showed a XXXX balance on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Franklin Collection Service, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I have already disputed this debt. It has been removed from my credit report. The first time I disputed this account it was owned by XXXX XXXX. Since it was disputed and ruled in my favor ; they sold it. It was apparently bought by Franklin Collection SV. After I disputed this claim, they immediately made my account past due. I do not believe they should be able to do this for the following reasons.

1 ) If it has been disputed once, it should not be able to be sold to another company and then they report it. What keeps the individual from having to constantly dispute the same item?

2 ) If something is disputed, the company who believes they are owed should not be able to make the account derogatory during the time of dispute.

3 ) I spoke to this company and asked for a validation of debt, which is another reason why they made the account past due.

The impact on the credit score is significant. Even when this is removed I will not receive the points to bring the score back to where it was. I lost 15+ points, when this is removed I might receive 5-7 points back to my score.

Why are debt collectors even allowed??? If the original company does not want to pursue the debt or writes the debt off, another company should not be able to collect.

Most individuals do not have nor have they ever had an agreement with the debt collection agency ; only the original company. I can not collect debts for other individuals, as I am not in the agreement with either individual who may be owed.
