Consumer complaint received 2023-10-20
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
My loans were scheduled to be transferred in XXXX to EDfinancial yet when I applied for a different program they instead went to XXXX. Therefore an account was never initiated with EDfinancial. I received the attached correspondence and an email from the XXXX  notifying me of the transfer. EDfinancial is reporting my loans on my credit report, $ XXXX. XXXX is reporting my loans on my credit report, $ XXXX. It shows that I owe nearly $ XXXX in loans and this is simply inaccurate. My account with XXXX is actually {$0.00} ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ) since my loans are now paid in full. Yet EdFinancial is reporting a balance, payments received and delinquent payments with the most recent payment as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have zero record of this and have never paid them nor have I set up any account or consented to any bank drafts with them. I have filed numerous disputes with the credit bureau only to be told that the information ( my name, account number, date and amount owed ) is accurate so they won't remove. I initially spoke with XXXX ( a recorded call ) and explained the situation ; they could not locate any record of my ss #, credit report account number nor the account number I have on the single piece of correspondence I received from them, a welcome letter ; which this account number differs from what is on my credit report. They took my information and I was told they would investigate and update me with a letter within 10 days. This never happened. I have called them continuously for the past two months with no contact, either their phone goes to 'we 're sorry, circuits are busy ' or they say the hold time is 600 minutes or that they will call back when my place in line is up. I have never received a call back. I have mailed a letter to them via certified USMail, I have emailed them, I have initiated a chat on their website, it is offline continuously. I can not log in nor create an account on their website with my credentials, it says that my information is not found ( screenshots attached ). I do not know how else to have this matter resolved. I would like this info from EDfinancial removed from my credit report as I do not currently nor have I ever been in debt to them for a student loan.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

State: HI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to make a payment via XXXX using American Express ' Send & Split feature. I had already successfully added a balance of {$870.00} to my Send Account ( which is required before sending funds ), but when I tried to complete the payment via XXXX, I received an error message on the XXXX app to the effect of " Something went wrong, we could not complete your payment. '' However, when I logged into my American Express account, and viewed the Send & Split balance, it showcased a completed transaction of {$870.00} to the XXXX recipient. After confusion, I reviewed XXXX again and there was no record of the payment going through. 

So Amex reflected the transaction as completed, but XXXX did not receive it. I chatted with XXXX customer service ( I have a transcript as well ) and they informed me that since the payment did not go through I would have to reach out to the bank issuer ( Amex ) to resolve it. 

I opened a dispute with Amex over it and they at first did not want to dispute it because to them, the transaction was " completed. '' I told them it was not, and sent the transcript with the XXXX agent proving this. They promised to get me a decision in 7-10 days, but have not resolved it or given me any updates. I followed up with Amex, and they continue to tell me they're " working on it. '' This is a significant amount of money that I trusted Amex to send on my behalf. And, since I still owed that money to the recipient, I had to send another {$870.00} via a different service to them ( XXXX, which did work - thankfully ). I am hoping that you can help me get this resolved, since it was not my fault and was due to a glitch on Amex or XXXX.
