Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I have calle d Sallie Mae  over 7 times in order to get the second disbursement of my loan funds for my bar exam study loan. The company told me that it would take three business days for the request to disburse the funds to go through - and that they would then send out the check. This was on   XXXX   XXXX  . I called back three business days later, and they first said they had no record of this request, but then said that the request had gone through -- - but there was no indication in their system about when or if it would disburse. I again told them that I wanted the funds disbursed to me  [  you get to choose your disbursement date ] and they said it would take another business day. I have repeatedly kept calling, asking where the funds are and what is going on, and they have  XXXX  information. They said there was a delay because of  XXXX   XXXX  ... even though I initiated this on   XXXX   XXXX  , well before that holiday, and it is now   XXXX   XXXX   The company still has the funds, they will not give me any information about my loan or when the money is coming through, and have repeatedly stated that there 's nothing else they can do for me. Except to tell me to wait three business days and call them back. I have tried to add my husband to my account, to allow him to call them as well, and have done this THREE times. Each time they take down all of his personal information, and he is never added to the account. Further, they state that there was no notes about adding him to the account and they have no record of this ever taking place. Which is concerning, because he has given out his personal information to three differen t Sallie Mae reps.  We are now concerned these individuals are stealing his personal information, which includes social security number. This company is horrific to deal with - they do not give accurate information, they do not allow you to speak to managers or anyone higher on the staffing list, they do not actually send documents or information when they state that they 're going to do so, and they currently have {$5000.00} of my funds that they refuse to disburse to me even though I am paying interest on this loan. I have never had student loans before and never dealt with a private loan company, and this is truly disgusting. They should n't even be allowed to exist or work with consumers, as they are nothing but a scam and have totally inept crooks working for them.

XXXX and Equifax are still reporting it as being verified but want state how they are verifying it. I have disputed it several times with my lastest being XX/XX/XXXX.

This item was not changed as a result of our processing of your dispute. Please review your report for the details. '' I have been going back and forward with them about this for the last 6 months. On both of my credit reports it shows no numbers or account numbers to even verify the information so how is it even being verified as they are saying.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

This is a request to reopen a complaint given the following : The company argued in their response that the loan was disbursed in XX/XX/XXXX. All loans were disbursed prior to XX/XX/XXXX ( the year I finished my XXXX degree ). After completing college I immediately served two XXXX terms, and a term in the XXXX XXXX ( post XXXX ) prior to becoming a XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. As such during that time I was eligible for 1. {$0.00} payments and 2. PSLF. None of these were honored during this time. 

In a phone conversation with FedLoan in XX/XX/XXXXof this year it was confirmed that the situation should be backlogged, and that my time and payments should be adjusted. In particular, given that I adequately notified FedLoan that I was in the XXXX XXXX ( just as the XXXX XXXX gave notice to the U.S. Dept. of Education ) I should have been immediately enrolled in deferment, however I was charged and put into default. 

Overall, the company 's response is inherently false, as the loans were disbursed from from 8-3 years prior to the date listed in the response. Moreover, despite numerous documented attempts to enroll in PSLF I was disallowed, or disqualified for capricious reasons.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Equifax mishandled my personal information including Name, Social Security #, Address, Birthdate, etc. resulting in a data breach in XXXX/XXXX 2017 that they confirmed I was affected by per their " Potential Impact '' site www.equifaxsecurity2017.com.
They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. 
They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives that dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement.

Citi avoids to acknowledge my XXXX XXXX account was totally locked, and my money completely inaccessible to me from at least XX/XX/2022, when I first noticed. I eventually received the check for my money on XX/XX/2022, making XXXX days that I had no access to my money. 

Instead of doing what is right for its savings account clients, Citi chooses to hide behind their XXXX XXXX for Consumer Accounts.

In my case, ending up being XXXX days. ... XXXX days of my fighting with Citi 's dishonesty before they finally gave in, and gave my money back to me.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

A company called Puget Sound Collections is reporting that I owe them a debt of {$1200.00} and keeps illegally increasing the debt owed on my report every month. The account number being reported to my credit is # XXXX. I have never had any dealings with this company and do not know why they want me to pay them this money. There is no reason for this debt to be on my credit report. I received no written notification that they were placing this debt in collections and I only discovered it was on my credit in recent months. I will also need to understand why they are increasing the balance owed on my credit every month. My XXXX XXXX credit report shows a balance of {$1100.00} and my new XXXX XXXX credit report shows a higher balance of {$1200.00}. Under the FDCA 808 which  governs unfair practices, a debt collector is not allowed to add their own fees or expenses to any amount being collected on. It appears this is what this company is doing in trying to collect this debt and this is completely unacceptable and unethical. I 've done some research online and I have only come across negative reviews and complaints by other consumers who have been harassed and scammed by this company. They appear to be based in XXXX Washington and I have never lived in Washington in my life. I will not give my money to a company that I do not recognize and who will not tell me why they want me to pay them.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

This is not a duplicate complaint, it is involving a different company. I, XXXX XXXX, am a living woman and I am submitting this complaint on my own and there is no third-party working on my behalf. My issue with MoneyLion is that they have breached their own contract and have provided false and misleading information. I have been in dispute with MoneyLion for several months about their fraudulent activity and have not received any resolution to my dispute. Instead they have CHARGED-OFF my account and have reported this negative account to the consumer reporting agencies. This is a clear breach of contract. Within their Dispute Agreement, it states that all claims arising from or relating to this Agreement and the Loan must be resolved by binding arbitration. MoneyLion did not do this, they only charged-off my account and did not provide notice of such changes to my account. Pursuant 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ( b ) ), a charge-off account should be excluded from a consumer report and reporting a charge-off is a fraudulent reporting of an account. Reporting a charge-off is illegal because it is income and income is not reported to a consumer report. Before this account was furnished to my consumer report, an investigation should have been done which wouldve shown that this charge-off account should have never been reflected to my consumer report, which is identity theft.
