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 you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

On XX/XX/22 about XXXX DigniFi contacted me about my past due account. I was advised that the call was an attempt to collect a debt and that the call was being recorded. I advised that I did not want the called recored, when I was told that the call had to be recorded I explained that Maryland is a XXXX party consent state where both parties have to agree to the call recording. I re-affirmed that I did not want the call recorded. Dignify continued to record the call after I told them numerous times not to record the call. I asked to be connected to someone who could talk to me without recording the call and was told that its not possible. Again by state law Maryland is on of 11 states that requires both parties to consent to recording and again I clearly advised that I did not consent to recording.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

I requested a re-audit of my qualifying public service loan forgiveness employment in XX/XX/2017. I have yet to receive any response on the request despite calling on more than one occasion to follow up. XXXX has refused to certify months during which I was employed by a qualified employer and otherwise complied with all requirements for public service loan forgiveness. At one point I was considered " ahead '' on payments because I was admitted to the auto-payment program but was not aware of the fact that I was admitted. As a result, in the month that I was admitted, I made a manual payment and an auto-payment the same month. For months thereafter, while working at a qualified employer, XXXX has refused to qualify my service until I went a month without paying so that I would be considered no longer " ahead '' on my payments. In addition, the month I was instructed not pay so that I would no longer be " ahead, '' also did not count despite continuing to be employed by a qualified employer and complying with all other requirements.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

I have consistently been paying more than the " monthly amount due '' on my PLUS loan. I understand that while my daughter is in school, I am only required to pay the interest, and expected that the overage was going to the principle. I tried to verify on Sallie Mae 's website that the overages were going to principle, but their website is very hard to navigate.

Today, I looked into it further and found that my " monthly amount due '' is less than my " unpaid interest and fees, '' therefore the overages were not going toward the principle.

I think Sallie Mae 's billing is purposefully deceptive and their website is purposefully hard to navigate.

Paying for a college education is hard enough without the lending institution misleading their customers.

Recently I went on the Equifax web site the company set-up after the data breech that exposed personal information of 143-plus million consumers. The web site was advertised as a tool to determine if your ( meaning consumers ) personal information was breeched.

'' I knew that already! I went on their web site to determine with specificity if my personal information was compromised. My question to the CFPB is this ... Does Equifax have an obligation to inform all people by mail ( since the web site is useless ) IF they are one of the millions effected by the breech?
