Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I took out a loan for {$1400.00} to attend XXXX XXXX in XXXX, New York, and on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the financial aid institution disbursed the same amount. There was an additional addition to the principal of {$760.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which I do not understand as I was attending a state college at the time. 

The institution, called American Education Services, does not bill me regularly, but I have been making payments through the online bill pay service that my bank offers. I believe that too much of my payments has been going toward interest, and the loan company is n't interested in having me pay off the loan in a reasonable period of time. The " expected payoff date '' for my loan is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX of my payments of {$50.00} went entirely to interest. I believe that this institution is a predatory loan company.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Equifax refuses to let me manage my own information. I have submitted disputes that were approved and had accounts fall off of my account. At a later time they have added these accounts back to my credit report after found to be fraudulent/and or following policies that are against the law. 

Now they have stated they have a system issue which has been ongoing for 7 months which is there excuse for why I can not login to myequifax. I have been told this about a half a dozen times and promised they would fix this and make it right. 

They have repeatedly made promises to me that have been nothing but lies such as when accounts were to fall off my credit report, ( stated automatically after 10 years an account would fall off, I have accounts over 11 years old they refuse to remove ), and have since PROMISED they would get the issue fixed as to why I can not login and submit disputes via my equifax. 

I do not think it is right for a company like equifax to manage a file on someone that they have no control over. There stance is if I don't like information they have on file for me to take it up with the company reporting to them. It's my life and should be mine to manage, not a credit reporting agency who profits over doing nothing but causing headache and pain for consumers.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Equifax mishandled my personal information and that of millions more in the country. 
The breach in XXXX XXXX has put us all at risk. I 'm extremely disappointed with how Equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call. I discovered the news via a news alert on my phone. Equifax should be required to monitor ALL accounts, for life, and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be inclusive to ALL accounts, not a pay-for feature. This should be rectified firstly by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected. 

I have spent and will continue to spend uncountable hours, and will waste money I should n't have to part with just to freeze accounts if it comes to that. This is an undue burden from a company I have never chosen to do business with. Please take prompt and decisive action to ensure I am compensated for their negligence and that something like this does not occur again.
Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

All 3 credit bureaus have a data breach on my report and dark web activity. I am no longer able to dispute or add statements to these bureaus for aged accounts and inaccuracies. This has to be illegal and a violation of my consumer rights. I have disputed several discrepancies and accounts over the course of 3 years. Used several credit repair companies XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and many others to settle and improve over all credit. CFPB has also turned a blind eye to hard working consumers seriously trying to navigate and improve credit where there are obvious errors and mistakes on credit reports holding back millions of Americans their key to financial freedom and credit stability. What can be done to resolve this?
