I also require the delinquency date and that this be removed from all three credit bureaus for failure to provide proof that this is my bill and for failure to notify me by mail before reporting to the credit bureaus.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

XXXX XXXX XXXX who handles the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program ignored 6 years of service, because they told us we did not choose the correct loan. During those six years they never communicated that we needed to switch the loan to qualify. Instead they left us to assume that we participating in the loan forgiveness program. Payments starting in XXXX should have qualified for student loan forgiveness and instead we have been left to pay the full amount. They deceive borrowers who have limited understanding on how the forgiveness plan works due to the complicated bureaucracy of paper work, multiple websites, and requirements. We will now be making payments in till XXXX instead of XXXX, the additional 7 years of payments will significantly hurt our family 's financial security. Why are people who work in service of others being treated so poorly by their own government?

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I opened a Discover credit card account in 2009, and have been getting charged every month for payment protection without my consent.

I have written to both XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX pointing out that four student loans ( see excerpts attached ) are reporting inaccurately. XXXX XXXX is currently reporting negative late payments on the Payment Status line on my credit report. These four accounts are marked as closed and showing a XXXX balance.

Such reporting is 100 % inaccurate and is hurting my credit score which is extremely harmful to a current home loan approval pending.
