Consumer complaint received 2022-08-03
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CT
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:
My loans were transferred in XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX  to MyFedLoan, after I submitted a request to complete PSLF. My ending balance from XXXX when this transfer occurred was : {$100000.00} Upon further research, I requested a refund for payments made between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( which was the last date I made payments towards my loan ). The amount equals, {$8600.00} towards loans that were NOT closed out. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested to MyFedLoan a refund of these payments, they needed documentation from XXXX of my payment history, which I provided from XXXX, and highlighted the payments which qualified for this refund. I was told ( after calling several times ) I was eligible to receive {$7700.00} as a refund, which should take 2 weeks- 2 months. The amount was added back to my loan balance, equally {$110000.00} -- NOT " pending '' - simply readded back to my balance. 

After I kept calling, received SEVERAL different answers from several different reps, I was told this is normal and the refunds are taking more time due to an influx in requests. I then learned that one of my payments on XX/XX/XXXX of {$900.00} was not initially counted towards " payments I can get as a refund '' and I requested that one to be added in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a check for {$900.00} a few weeks later and my new student loan balance read {$110000.00}. I continued to call MyFedLoan with attempts to have this issue escalated in order for me to receive this payment of my refund, without a resolution. I was then told my loans would transfer to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ... and they still currently do not have my information until XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am submitting this complaint, as I am still owed {$7700.00} that was requested in XX/XX/XXXX. I am not sure where to turn at this point, but have been scammed out of this money - repayments will be resuming soon, with accruing interest, on this amount that I have not received back. 

Please advise

Complaint:
The items I need removed are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft and did not apply or open any of these accounts. I ask that the items be removed to correct my credit report. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and I also have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit. 

You Violated The United States Code Law 15 U.S. Code 1681b. I never gave you any written consent to report anything on my consumer report. 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts ( You were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior and as the original creditor, Im the only one that can validate this debt. I DO NOT validate this debt ). According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. Which you have failed to do so which is a VIOLATION. 
I have not supplied proof under the doctrine by silence Engelhart v Gravens ( mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I presume that no proof of the alleged debt nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefore exist. 
It has been well over 30 days and i have not received a response. To date, I have not received a reply from you or any acknowledgment that an investigation has begun. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be REMOVED and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove this account. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act this disputed item may not appear on my credit report if it can not be supported by any documents/evidence I demand this following accounts be removed immediately

I contacted the company regarding their violations of my consumer rights by furnishing information that is not allowed by law, in accordance with the FCRA. There are accounts listed on my consumer file for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, that I have disputed with the company on more than one occasion, requesting physical verification and validation of this alleged debt. I still have not received any physical verification, just a letter stating it was verified, through no proof violating 15 USC 1692g and 15 USC 1681i. I, the consumer, never ever gave and consumer reporting agencies consent to report any information concerning my accounts. Without obtaining my consent, this is identity theft. The FCRA clearly outlines what should be excluded from a consumer report, pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( d ), income shall never be included in a consumer 's personal file. A charged off debt is a source of income in which a 1099 should be received by the consumer, and this can not be added in the consumer file. In addition, in accordance with 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), late payments are to be excluded from a consumer report.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
I am trying to get my free annual credit report so that I can apply for a home loan. Using XXXX  : XXXX returns an error for all three credit score providers. 

I am a U.S. citizen that has been living abroad for almost 10 years. I will soon move back to the U.S. and need a credit report so I can apply for a home loan. During that time I have always maintained U.S. bank accounts and used U.S. credit cards. I should have maintained an active credit score during this time. When using the annual credit report website, you are required to submit a U.S. address and phone number. I have neither as I have been living abroad. To attempt to retrieve my credit score I used my last mailing address from 2012 and my old U.S. phone number ( to which I no longer have access ). I am unable to provide my current, foreign address and number to the website. 

Requesting the free report from any report provider returns an error on the website with no information on how to successfully retrieve my report. I have attempted calling customer support for XXXX, Equifax and XXXX, none of their support lines were able to assist me in obtaining the free credit report. 

The credit report process is totally broken for U.S. expats attempting to retrieve a credit report while living abroad. I am blocked form applying for a home loan until this issue is resolved. I just want a credit report from any/all of the credit score providers.
