Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WV)

In the  Magistrate Court of   XXXX   County I entere d into a Settlement agreement which I would pay  one month  rent of {$1500.00} and forfeit my security deposit. A judgment was never entered against me. The check was cashed and appears paid and I have a copy of the canceled check. It was deposited on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . Check numbe r 147, t he agreement was it was to be paid by   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   which it was and hand delivered to the Plaintiff, dated for the sixth. He was to report to the court that it had been paid and the case would be dismissed, however, the plaintiff never reported this to the court, I found it during a review of my credit file. I have sent several letters and motions to the court to correct this error with no response or help other than they did not report it. My first letter was sent   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . My case number was  14-C-1886.  On the same date I filed a motion to enforce settlement, since this should have never been entered as a judgment since I paid pursuant to a settlement agreement. The court instead had the plaintiff enter a release of judgment on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . This was not agreed upon. There should have never been a judgment entered or release as we reached a valid settlement agreement on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   for me to pay by   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   and the case would be dismissed. This release did nothing to remove this inaccurate information from credit report. Again I sent a letter on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   requesting that the judgment be vacated and removed from my credit report and in the mean time to report to the agency that is was paid. I disputed the same with  XXXX  and eventually they removed it. Now it is appearing on my Equifax report that I filed a dispute with today. I have applied for a mortgage and have been approved I am in the process of purchasing a home if this fraudulent reporting and lack of the Court reporting the accurate information and removing this error of judgment on my record results in my denial of the mortgage which is set to close on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   I will file a lawsuit for the entire amount of the home value. This is ridiculous that I have repeatedly attempted to correct an error on the Courts behalf and they ignore me. I have all documentation of my attempts to get t his Court to re move the judgment. It is completely inaccurate.

Consumer complaint received 2017-05-12
Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Social Finance, Inc. (OH)

I refinanced my student loans wit h SoFi. I ha d multiple federal and private loans, so  the ultimate goal wa s to consolidate all of them and save money, of course. SoFi puts out a lot of advertisement on how they can save people so much money with their student loans, and that is why I chose them. They only go up to a 20 year plan, and my loan is over  XXXX . Currently, my payments are around {$750.00} a month. I am  only one yea r out of graduating college and have a good job and have even been promoted twice, but I still am struggling mightily with these loans. You would be hard pressed to find someone 1 year out of college that would not be struggling to cover {$750.00} a month just for student loans. The student loan payment is more than my car payment plus rent combined. I have called them multiple times to ask what they can do to help me lower my payments because I am currently not saving any money, which was the whole point of doing this. Almost every other company can offer things like income-based payments or a longer term deal. Either way, I need a better payment structure ; every time I call them to ask what they can do to help they always tell me that there is nothing they can do. The y give one o ption which is to switch to a fixed rate. Well, that makes no sense because the current fixed rate is around 8 %. My current variable rate is around 5.5 %. Being on a variable rate can be very dangerous, especially for someone in my situation, but it is the only way I can possibly make any of these payments. The only other thing they mention besides switching to a fixed rate is to call  XXXX , who is actually servicing the loan. If I call  XXXX , they tell me to call SoFi. They just send you back and forth, and that is not a good look. I always ask them if they can push my term out t o 25 or   30 years, because that will definitely lower my payments. It would also be a GREAT business decision on their part, because they can make even more money off of interest from me over a 30 year span. To me, I understand that I a spending more money on interest, but that gives me more money to invest now, and also will allow me to breathe with lower payments. However, they always say that there is nothing they can do to help me. Plain and simple, I need a better payment structure. They are making money off of me no matter what, so there should not be any problem with switching up the payment structure. My current plan has a balance of around  XXXX  and has a projection of me spending a total of  XXXX  including interest over the life of the loan. That shows that they are going to be making a lot of money off of me. Surely they can do something to help me out given that I am helping them make so much money. Right now, they are doing nothing to help me out.
