Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Confusing or misleading advertising
Company: Social Finance, Inc. (PA)

I have a student loan with SoFi which has a rate of approximately 5.5 % for 15 years. I wanted to take advantage of recent decline in rates so I applied for a refinance at SoFi and XXXX XXXX. SoFi initally offered an initial rate of 5.149 % while I received a rate  of 4.99 % at XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from SoFi for their rate match program. The advertising says that if I supply competitors documentation they would match that rate. I called SoFi on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  to discuss the offer and was told that all I needed to do was to submit the documentation, pull my credit to determine eligibility and they can match the rate. I submitted XXXX XXXX  's offer and submitted the application. I received notification at XXXX XXXX  from SoFi that the application was complete and that I can sign the documents. After review the loan docs, I found that the rate was still 5.149 %, I called SoFi and told them of the mistake and the representative on the phone advised that they would go back to the underwriter of the mistake and I should receive new loan documents. At XXXX XXXX  I received notification again that the loan documents were complete. I checked the rate again and it was still the same 5.149 % rate. I called XXXX again this time the representative advised that they can't match the XXXX XXXX  's rate because the rate they offered is the lowest they can offer for the 15 year term. I said then why would XXXX send me an advertising to match a rate when they knew that they couldn't even go lower than what was offered?? I was transferred to a supervisor, his name is XXXX XXXX form the account specialist team and he explained that they recently changed their policy that they would not rate match if the rate is the lowest they can offer. I advised him that it was false advertising because they couldn't provide me a lower rate from the beginning. So why did they tell me to submit my application and re-pull my credit which has an adverse effect on my credit. He couldn't explain why. I told him that I checked the legal language and there is nothing that says that they will not offer a lower rate if it is the lowest they can provide. I have the email saved in my email box. The only thing he is able to offer is to submit a suppression of credit inquiry.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. 
" I am not requesting the verification or validation of any of these accounts. The accounts that are enumerated MUST be deleted. I am requesting that the credit reporting agency adhere to fair and equitable practices. I will file a complaint for default judgment on minor claims as a result of your violations. The credit reporting agency is required to remove any account that I identify as alleged identity theft in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts that must be removed are as follows.

I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the handling of my credit report disputes by the major credit bureaus : XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Despite multiple attempts to resolve inaccuracies on my credit reports, I have encountered significant obstacles and inadequate responses from each of these bureaus, which has left me feeling utterly exasperated. 

XXXX : Non-Responsive Behavior XXXX has failed to respond to my disputes altogether. I have submitted multiple dispute letters, providing detailed explanations and supporting evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracies in my report. Despite my efforts, XXXX has not acknowledged or addressed my concerns. This complete lack of response is not only unprofessional but also a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

TransUnion : XXXX XXXX Letters TransUnion has been sending me generic stall letters that do not address the specific issues I have raised. These stall letters claim that my disputes require additional time for investigation, yet they provide no substantive information or progress updates. It is evident that TransUnion is attempting to delay the resolution of my disputes without conducting a proper investigation, which is unacceptable and in direct violation of the FCRA. 

XXXX : Disputing the Legitimacy of My Disputes XXXX has sent me emails questioning the legitimacy of my disputes, suggesting that they do not believe the disputes were initiated by me. This is particularly frustrating, as I have provided all necessary documentation and identification to verify my identity. XXXX 's refusal to acknowledge and investigate my disputes is a clear violation of my consumer rights and further exacerbates my distress. 

Impact on My Financial Well-being The lack of responsiveness and inadequate handling of my disputes by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX has had a significant negative impact on my financial well-being. The inaccuracies on my credit reports have led to unfair denials of credit, higher interest rates, and damage to my credit score. I am now at a point where I feel helpless and overwhelmed by the actions of these credit bureaus. 







Request for CFPB Intervention I urgently request the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to hold XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX accountable for their non-compliance with the FCRA. I am seeking immediate and thorough investigations into my disputes, as well as appropriate penalties for the credit bureaus ' failure to fulfill their legal obligations. 

I am deeply frustrated by the current situation and implore the CFPB to take swift action to ensure that my disputes are addressed fairly and promptly. I believe that the CFPB 's involvement is crucial to rectifying these issues and protecting my rights as a consumer.
