Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings.

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services (MI)

On XXXX of this year ( 2024 ) I reached out to XXXX about changing my payment due date from the XXXX of the month, to the XXXX of the month. The online request was submitted and validated by a customer service representative, mentioning that the change should occur within the next month. Ever since, I have been calling EdFinancial on a monthly basis, as my payment due date is not being changed, and the status is constantly reported as " in-progress '' when I speak on the phone with a representative. 

This is putting me in a precarious financial situation, as my current employer only pays once at the end of the month, putting me in a challenging situation to make payments on the XXXX. Of increasing frustration, when I called in XXXX about this, I was offered the option to have my payment put in emergency forbearance for a month, as I was in a bad financial situation that did not allow me to make the XXXX payment date. My loans then accumulated a principal of almost {$4400.00} due to their ongoing mishandling of this payment due date change ( unless I am understanding the attached file wrong, as Edfinancial does not make it easy to understand or navigate account information ). 

The fact that this has yet to be resolved after nearly half a year is extremely upsetting, and I consider all of their actions in this matter to be abusive and taking advantage of people 's financial woes to build up more interest on their accounts. The request has also been put into " emergency status '' twice now, which frankly seems to mean nothing other than a hollow reassurance that something is being done.
