State: CO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
I was unemployed during this summer due to studying for my bar exam. I explained my situation to Discover who offered no help. Their response was to ask me to make a payment of $ XXXX {$300.00}. When I again explained to them that I was unemployed and had no income at the moment they told me they had no other options to help me during this time. I was unable to make payments through the months of XXXX. Discover went to my co-signers who did eventually pay the amount. However, I was still marked as delinquent. I did not authorize the payment nor did I make the payment and I am still being penalized and my credit is being negatively affected. I am now in a position to make smaller payments and have signed up for a payment plan. However, based on when I was enrolled, Discover still reported delinquency for the month of XXXX despite me not making a payment yet and being enrolled in a plan. I now have four delinquent account notices on my credit report due to Discover filing with the credit agencies despite the amount being fully paid and being enrolled in a payment plan. After speaking with Discover they refuse to remove the delinquent notices. This practice is both unfair and unethical and has severely negatively impacted my credit score to no fault of my own. This student loan company does not care about it's borrowers nor do they care about finding a resolution for all parties involved. They engage in predatory practices, including harassment and unethical business practices. Avoid at all costs.

The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

This is violation after violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope with this system

Complaint:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
