Ed Financial increased the limit of my loan without my permission. I only found out from an XXXX credit alert. 
I wrote an email demanding they revert it back to the original amount. They have not done so, its been 6 weeks since I emailed my request.

Additionally, I made my new payment before my due date and they charged me {$29.00} of late interest! 
I demanded they refund it but they have not done so. 
It is impossible to get them on the phone and they do not answer emails. Basically, they are scamming us even as we TRY to make our payments. THIS IS WRONG. Additionally, they offer no help or guidance for Parent Plus loans under Biden SAVE etc programs to reduce payments. Ed Financial is scamming us.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

In my view, the absence of documentary evidence on compliance reporting standards and relevant consumer law is a cause for concern. It is of great concern to me that this omission has not been made. I'd like to ask you to rectify this erroneous and incorrect report as soon as possible. Failure to do so may lead to legal recourse due to a failure to comply with the necessary legal obligations in those areas. In order to avoid any future problems, it is important to understand the precise nature of documentation which must be addressed. In the future, a lack of accurate and complete information could lead to unnecessary difficulties. In order to mitigate any potential adverse effects, it is therefore essential that we address this issue with a sense of urgency.

In XX/XX/XXXX I rented an old XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and returned it with a damage on the windshield about the size of a dime. The car rental then charged me {$450.00}. I agreed to pay the damage through my credit card that I used to rent the car. The credit card policy states that rented car damage ( s ) is covered when I use the credit card for car rent payment. So it's up to the credit card to approve the claim by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. But XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and its collector XXXX XXXX XXXX asked me to pay for the claimed damage. As in an accident, parties exchange insurance information by which damage will be claimed and processed by insurance companies. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not follow the calim procedure and proceeded the collection through its XXXX XXXX XXXX that the original amount {$450.00} was then increased to {$1600.00}. They then sent the collection to report agencies to damage my credit. I disputed the report 's inaccuracy and malice which XXXX removed it for about a year but then reports the negative collection again. I recently called XXXX to remove it mentioning that it was removed before and by Code of Civil Procedure 337, the report violated state of limitation. CCP 337 sets the limitation of collection report to 4 years with the clock starting to tick as soon as " you '' miss a payment. As in the email, the amount was tranferred to collection on XX/XX/XXXX and reported XX/XX/XXXX. So by the 4-year limitation the collection and its negative report should be stopped on XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. But XXXX report shows that it stays until XX/XX/XXXX. That is unlawful act by CCP 337.
