Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (GA)

Previously, I filed a complaint XXXX regarding how FedLoan Servicing was counting my qualified payments for XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, FedLoan Servicing provided the following response and my complaint was closed : " The Office of Consumer Advocacy ( OCA ) at Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ( PHEAA ) performed a review of your account. Specifically, we reviewed your payment history, your repayment plan history, and your forbearance and deferment history with each of your servicers. Please Note : PHEAA conducts its student loan servicing operations commercially as American Education Services and for federally-owned loans as FedLoan Servicing. In your inquiry you expressed concern regarding the number of payments credited toward your pursuit of loan forgiveness under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) program. Our review of your account determined that you submitted Employment Certification Forms ( ECF ) that were approved for the following periods : XXXX XXXX Government - XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, Ga XXXX Defender Standards - XX/XX/XXXX To XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX To XX/XX/XXXX, Ga XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX Government - XX/XX/XXXX To XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX Government - XX/XX/XXXX To XX/XX/XXXX, And XXXX XXXX Government - XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. You have made 105 XXXX-qualifying payments. You can view additional details online at MyFedLoan.org. If you have additional questions regarding your account, please contact FedLoan Servicing at XXXX. Loan representatives are available Monday through Friday from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' In fact, on my online FedLoan Servicing account the payment tracker was updated to 105 qualifying payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from FedLoan Servicing stating that my XXXX for XXXX had been approved, which was the period of employment that was in controversy previously. 

Shortly before the New Year, I checked my online account again because I had submitted another ECF for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and wanted to check the status. I found that my qualifying payment tracker was back down to 93 and the payments made during XXXX were now, again, not qualifying. Of course, when I call or chat with FedLoan Servicing, no one can explain to me what is going on. I need this fixed, again.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I took action by filing a formal complaint with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after discovering an unauthorized credit inquiry on my credit report. This inquiry, dated XX/XX/XXXX, was made without my knowledge or consent. Concerned by these unexplained entries, I immediately requested proof of authorization and questioned the accuracy of the entity names listed on my report. 
In my complaint, I underscored the importance of protecting personal information and ensuring full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Recognizing the serious implications of this issue, I escalated my concerns to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ), which oversees financial institutions. I urged these agencies to thoroughly investigate my case. 
Additionally, I have asked these agencies to determine whether there is a broader issue at playwhether nationwide consumer reporting agencies are routinely misidentifying the legal names of creditors, furnishers, debt buyers, and debt collectors. If this is happening, it could lead to false or misleading information on credit reports. This not only undermines consumer rights but also jeopardizes the integrity of the entire credit reporting system. 
By sharing my experience, I hope to raise awareness and help others who may be facing similar challenges with unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate reporting by credit agencies. 
Its important to understand that a companys name must exactly match its legal registration, as outlined in official documents like articles of organization, articles of incorporation, certificates of formation, or charters. If the name on a credit report or legal document does not precisely match the registered name, that entity may not be legally recognized as the same. This distinction is vital because it can affect the validity of contracts, the enforceability of agreements, and the complexity of legal proceedings. Ensuring the correct legal name appears on consumer credit reports is more than a formalityits a key legal requirement that protects the integrity of financial transactions and safeguards consumer rights.
