Consumer complaint received 2023-09-27
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
Edfinancial ( student loan servicer ) is MISAPPLYING PAYMENTS TO MY ACCOUNT AGAIN! 

Once again, Edfinancial is ADDING INTEREST TO MY LOAN IN VIOLATON OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION RULES AND ALSO IN VIOLATION OF THE LAWS FOR LOAN SERVICING. 

My monthly payment in the amount of {$580.00} ( under the Income-Based Repayment Plan ) is due XX/XX/2023. I paid it early and in full by XX/XX/2023 which covers interest and some principal. On XX/XX/2023, however, Edfinancial did not apply this interest in full but instead applied only some of the interest to my loan and applied most of the payment to the principal resulting in outstanding, unpaid interest in ERROR to date! 

This is exactly the type of illegal practices I dealt with when XXXX serviced my loans for 31 years. They want you to have outstanding, unpaid interest so they can capitalize your loan balance over and over and over again. Like XXXX, Edfinancial is making numerous interest errors and payment errors! 

This needs to stop NOW! 

The state AG 's office needs to get involved because this is why people are going mad! 

I called Edfinancial today and my hold time was a minimum of 485 minutes. 485 minutes!!! I opted for a call back and the automated message said it would take at least 24 hours. 

This complaint, among other complaints, have not been resolved and every day it is another GRAVE ERROR on the part of Edfinancial. 

Thank you.

Complaint:

Complaint:
I reviewed a copy of my credit report and I noticed that there are some fraud accounts listed on my report. I have previously reached out to the credit bureau to rectify this affair but they have been negligent in complying with my request. The disputed information is not related to any transaction made by me. 
I have previously disputed this information and received a response that the creditor verified the information. However, this verification was inadequate and violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., which governs the accuracy and completeness of consumer credit reports. The creditor and credit reporting agency did not provide me with the name of the person who verified the information or any evidence that the creditor conducted a proper verification. The creditor and credit reporting agency did not update the balance or the date of the account as required by the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ). Furthermore, you failed to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days ( or 45 days in some cases ) of receiving my notice and report the results of the investigation to me as required by the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 
Please investigate this matter and update my credit report accordingly using the XXXX XXXX format and in compliance with the consumer law from the USC, Title 15, Chapter 41, Subchapter V, which protects consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with credit transactions. 

I have enclosed a copy of my identity theft report as proof of identity theft, a copy of my ID, Social security card.

Hello, I find some descrepancies with my credit reporting. 

In accordance with the fair credit reporting act, this creditor has violated my rights. 
Under 15USC1681 section 602 states, I have the right to privacy.

15USC1681 section 604A, section 2, it also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction.

Under 15USC1666B, a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open and consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. 

Company name : XXXX XXXX 
I do not remember the exact date that I called them but I very positive that I had called them back in XXXX and while the issue was resolved immediately, the derogatory remarks stayed on my report. I lastly called them last month XXXX, XXXX.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Re : Account : XXXX Disclaimer : I am a real person not a credit repair agency. My previous dispute was not corrected and by FCRA Law you are required to address my concerns. This is " NOT '' a goodwill request. 

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, previously tried to have one of your Sr. Representatives, XXXX look into my claims and was accused of requesting a goodwill request. 

The 90-day late payment being reported on my credit file is inaccurate. Your agency is reporting this late payment 12 times on all 3 credit report agencies as closed. Also, a new Loan for {$85000.00}. Which is showing as 13 student loans. 

I requested a copy of my student loan statements. In the statements it is showing that I requested a forbearance ahead of time in XX/XX/2019 and the request was approved. 
I am fully aware that I owe student loan and signed a promissory note. My grievance is that you are reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Attached is the loan statement history, how my credit file is being reported, and proof of my identity. 

I just want this error to be corrected. I am sending this request via the CFPB and the attorney general office. Because trying to contact customer service is not ideal, where you dont get any help.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I incurred several late fees on a loan. I eventually made those late fee payments, actually on 2 occasions because the company did not post my payment to the late fee. When I was prepared to make the second late fee payment, I contacted the company to get confirmation of the exact amount to make the loan current and get the late fees caught up. I immediately made the payment online. After seeing the payment post and STILL not being applied to the late fee, I contacted the company. I was told I needed to make the XXXX payment then the late fee would be covered. I made that payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the company again because I recevied a statement and the late fees are STILL on the account. They continue to use the money I am sending for late fees and are applying it to the principal. I am now being told to make the XXXX payment on or before XX/XX/XXXX and they will take the late fees out of that payment. Late fees are {$270.00} and I have paid that TWICE. so they have {$540.00} extra on the principal and {$270.00} in late fees. 
Late Fees : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - these XXXX were paid XX/XX/XXXX {$170.00} but they applied the payment to principal XX/XX/XXXX - this was paid XX/XX/XXXX {$48.00} but they applied the payment to principal XX/XX/XXXX - this was paid on XX/XX/XXXX {$56.00} XXXX the {$170.00} again and the {$48.00} again. And once again they applied the payment to principal.
