Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

On XX/XX/2022 I received a letter captioned LexisNexis, informing me that [ 1 ] report ( s ) of negative information added to your file. This letter instructed me to access : XXXX XXXX XXXX and after reviewing the information requested they claimed I would receive a US Mail letter with additional information explaining how to access this negative information electronically. On XX/XX/2022 I mailed a complaint letter to LexisNexis denying any knowledge of any negative information, stating never being aware that I even had an account in my name and wondering if this could be some sort of phishing fraud. By copy of this letter I requested the Colorado Attorney Generals ' office to verify if this was indeed a scam of some sort. The Attorney Generals office replied in todays mail, stating they would keep my information on file and referred me to your good offices. Since there has been no response from LexisNexis to-date, I am concluding more strongly that this is some sort of scam or fraudulent attempt to obtain personal information about me.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

I went on the modified repayment plan with Sallie Mae in XXXX of XXXX. Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic broke and I only received 3 months of forbearance. When I tried to ask about options as I had lost my job in live entertainment and I had to get a new job where I received significantly less money, I was told there was nothing they could do to modify the amount I was paying. I continued to struggle through these payments, but I payed my loan amount each month despite encountering times where I was left with {$20.00} to my name for a full week. 

In XXXX of XXXX, my time of the modified repayment plan was up. Unfortunately I was also dealing with the deterioration and slow death of a close family member which, as any normal human being with a sense of empathy knows, requires unpaid time off. I called Sallie Mae to try to get in front of the problem, and inform them that not only was I dealing with this incredibly stressful event, but wasn't making enough money to pay the full amount of my loans. I was consistently cut off by the customer service agent who was " helping '' me and told there was nothing they could do. I was told, as someone who does not make enough money and is currently dealing with stressful personal issues that will and continue to effect me financially, I don't qualify for any benefits through Sallie Mae. 

I was told that, to qualify for any benefits, I would have to make 5 qualifying payments ( the full amount each month ) which I made clear I could not pay. How is someone supposed to complete any qualifying payments to become eligible for a program specifically made for those who are struggling to pay their loans? 

As I audibly and uncontrollably started crying, I was put on hold because he figured that was the perfect time to update my account- despite not doing or achieving anything during our call. After being on hold for at least 2 minutes, the agent came back on the phone, told me he updated my account, and asked if there was anything else he could help me with. Of course, there was not- and it was clear there was absolutely nothing he wanted to help with as I was offered no other options or given any other advice, so he signed off, thanking me for 'choosing " Sallie Mae .

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

I have filed several disputes with Equifax about removing a chapter XXXX that was dismissed and has been on credit report for 9 years. I have read and done research and understand that it should have been removed at 7 years. It even says on Equifax website that it should be removed. I finally called and was told by XXXX they will not remove it before10 years. He also said I must prove it was a chapter XXXX not a XXXX and I let him know that the letter they sent me states that it is a XXXX not a XXXX. He then told me since it was dismissed it will be treated like a XXXX. I did advise them I will be filing a complaint and XXXX told me to go ahead and file a complaint. That despite everything I have read their policy is not to remove it before 10 years because a dismissed XXXX is just like a chapter XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

My credit report shows an incorrect XXXX-day delinquency in XX/XX/2018 for FOUR loans, even though its all in 1 repayment from Fedloan Servicing. I believe this is when the repayment came out of deferment however I was not notified of when this occurred so I could continue my repayment plan. The account is in good status now and I have not had any other issue with this in the past. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX and I'm not sure if they even have my address correct but I've lived here for 5 years. It is crazy to me that they can report 1 repayment FOUR times at a delinquency, and this needs correct and removed from my credit report immediately.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

I have several student loans with SallieMae currently totaling over {$1100.00}. When paired up with my federal loans I am paying over {$1300.00} out of my roughly {$2000.00} in monthly earnings. Long story short, after factoring in living expenses I am spending more than I make and have been compensating by using some money from savings to help with my loan payments over the past several months. This is money that I reserve for special circumstances ( medical, auto ) and even if I 'm lucky enough to not have an emergency need, the fact that I 'm constantly taking out more than I 'm putting in means at this rate I will go into default on my loans at some point. Knowing this I attempted to call SallieMae today to inquire about an interest rate reduction program that I 've heard they offer to clients who are having financial troubles. I was frustrated to find out that they only offer this plan to clients who have already gone into default on their payments ( which to my understanding would not be good for my credit score either ). So basically I need to keep doing what I 'm doing and until the money runs out and SallieMae actually helps. It is extremely upsetting that I can tell them ahead of time and prove with my finances that I 'm headed for trouble yet they wo n't throw me a lifeline until I 'm actually drowning.
Complaint sub-issue: Received unwanted marketing or advertising

After a data breach, I was given a free access to Equifaxs XXXX XXXX XXXX by the breached organization to prevent identity theft. 

As part of signing up, I had no choice but to consent to Equifax sharing my data initially. But the GLBA privacy notice said I could call a certain number to limit some sharing. I called and spoke to 5 representatives - 2 of which booted me to the main phone prompt menu when they couldnt help me, and 3 of which said I couldnt do this by phone. None of them seemed to have training on how to opt out of this affiliate marketing. This privacy notice is therefore misleading and should be revised, with an accurate notice going to all enrollees about how to exercise their rights and stop this data sharing.

Complaint sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the card

Hello, I signed up for a Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card in XX/XX/XXXX because they advertised a promotion where if you spend {$3000.00} in the first 3 months and pay it off, you get XXXX miles. They allegedly sent me the card a few time but I didn't receive it until XX/XX/XXXX. Once the card was in my hands I met all of the requirements. A few months ago, I noticed that those points still hadn't hit my account so I tried to rectify this. 

The first Citibank Representative I spoke to ( XX/XX/XXXX ) told me someone would call me back later that day after investigating my situation. No one called back. A few days later, I spent over an hour on the phone - being passed from person to person explaining and re-explaining myself. The final woman I spoke with told me that I am not seeing the points because I technically applied for the credit card 6 months prior to actually receiving it. They told me that I would get an answer in the mail within two weeks. The letter finally came ( issued XX/XX/XXXX ) and I was denied the promotion that they advertised. Giving them one more chance to redeem themselves - I decided to call again today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and climbed to the top of the latter and spoke to a Supervisor. He told me that they didn't see the " offer '' under my account. It didn't matter what I said. 

I am extremely frustrated because I would not have signed up for this credit card had it not been for this promotion that is literally posted everywhere on the internet. This is a terrible company if they can not follow through with their promotions, deceptions and false advertisement. 

I am planning on canceling my credit card if this is not rectified in a timely manner.
