Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NJ
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:
Im desperate and hoping you might be able to assist me. I am a XXXX-year-old XXXX mom struggling to put my daughter through college as well as pay off my own grad school debt. I was looking forward to having my debt forgiven under PSLF in XX/XX/XXXX after working in public service and paying my Federal Stafford Loans under the IBR program faithfully since XX/XX/XXXX. 

About a year ago, I discovered that my type of Federal Stafford Loans were discontinued in XX/XX/XXXX,  and the newer type of Stafford Loans are the only ones eligible for public service forgiveness. I had no idea that this was the case, and was never informed of this by my loan servicer, AES. Back in XX/XX/XXXX, the website clearly stated that Stafford Loans were eligible. When I called AES in XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that I would become eligible if I consolidate my loans, but that the clock would be reset and Id have to make another 120 payments before my loans would be forgiven. I immediately consolidated my loans, and they are now serviced by XXXX XXXX. 

I dont know where to turn. Im heartbroken over this, especially after dedicating the past 10 years to public service as a XXXX where I knew I would make less money but would be making a difference in my community. Now I am seriously concerned that I will end up spending my retirement in poverty.

Complaint:
Due to the recent news that Equifax has had their data hacked, it is apparent that my information is part of the data breach. Equifax had a responsibility to protect my credit information and has failed to do so. As a result, I am now at a higher risk of identity theft and credit fraud. 

I have initiated a 90 day fraud alert and will be enrolling in ID theft protection.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service

Complaint:
Less than XXXX hours ago on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I responded to the news of Equifax security breach. I only learned about this on this day and responded by checking my information on their site. They indicated I was most likely affected. Even though I have a monitoring service through XXXX, I checked the box on Equifax. I saw no language or conditions about waiving my rights to sue or for extended paid services from Equifax. i tried calling them all day w/o success and they seemingly disable the contact us feature on the site. I feel this is an unlawful and unethical approach to this matter and I do not wish to have this service and do not give up my constitutional rights to anything. I also feel I am protected under California law in this regard. I simply wish to disengage in what they are trying to pull and agree to nothing from them. This is highly underhanded and unethical on their part. Equifax has made it impossible for consumers to reach them and all you get is a runaround.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
This is regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX card, which is managed by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to make a purchase at XXXX using my card and the clerk told me that it was giving her a message " refer to card issuer '' The clerk told me that they normally get that if my card is expired. So, I checked to see at home if I had received a new card in the mail and did n't realize it -- I did n't receive a new card and furthermore these cards do n't have expiration dates. I made a call to the customer service on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a woman ( ca n't remember her name ). I advised her what the store clerk told me. She said that my account was suspended due to it being inactive for 11 months ( meaning that I did n't make any purchases ) I advised her that the last purchase I made was in XX/XX/XXXX, which she verified. So, I asked if the suspension could be lifted, because they obviously was  an error. She advised that the only way to do this is if I authorized them to pull my credit report? I did n't understand why this was necessary, but I reluctantly agreed because I do like using the card when I go to XXXX. She said I would receive a letter by mail within 7-10 business days. I never received a formal letter by mail -- what I did receive was a letter by email within 2 minutes after I ended the call with the customer care rep to my " secure message center '' inbox ( this I access from viewing my XXXX credit card account online ) The letter indicated that my request for reactivation is denied. After numerous calls to customer service with no resolutions ( could n't even get through to anyone ), I reached out to XXXX via XXXX. Two different individuals responded back to me advising that they would check into this issue and give me a call. It 's been at least a month or so now and nothing has been done.

Complaint:
My private information was accessed in the Equifax hack in XXXX of XXXX. Not only was I not notified of this event in a timely fashion, I have not been notified directly by the company at all. Equifax has also attempted to deceive me and countless other consumers into signing away our right to sue for their negligence by offering a free one year trial of credit monitoring in exchange. This is deceptive and predatory behavior, in my opinion.

Complaint:
TransUnion keeps reporting derogatory information on my credit report that has caused great duress to family. My husband and I have spent several hours dealing with situation. In XXXX, credit report was corrected but after viewing report for XX/XX/XXXX, report is showing same libelous information that was reported back in XXXX. They have been shown proof that account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX. The account is a joint account prepaid lease that was paid up front and turned in with a release from obligation. My husband 's report shows this account as satisfactory but my report indicates several libelous notations. TransUnion telephone reps are very unhelpful and it seems like most are employed overseas. Enclosed is a letter from Ally releasing all obligations for account.
