I had a lien from  XXXX  County Georgia on my credit report. The lien was " withdrawn '' by the state, but Georgia has no process to report to credit agencies that the lien was withdrawn. The report is showing the lien as " released '' which was true at one time, but now the state has " withdrawn '' the lien but does not have a system in place to report to the agencies. You will see that I have attached the delinquent tax payer list directly from the Georgia website and my name is not on it.    XXXX    and   XXXX    have both removed the item from my report, but Equifax reported back that the lien is justified. It should be removed since it is a " withdrawn '' lien.

I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX  from XXXX. My son, XXXX XXXX attended XXXX XXXX from XXXX. He was offered a XXXX scholarship to attend. In XXXX, I made a direct payment for the cost of the additional amount due after the Scholarship and grants were applied. In XXXX, I agreed to accept responsibility for a parent plus loan in the amount {$8200.00} after the Scholarship and grants were applied. In XXXX, XXXX was living off campus, no longer in the dormitory or on the meal plan and the Scholarship and grants were applied. In XXXX, my husband offered his GI Bill Benefits for the remainder of XXXX 's educational tenure and therefore, all expenses in excess of the Scholarship and grants were paid for by the VA program. I can see where several loans are listed more than once and then all rolled into a consolidation loan. Since XXXX, I have called and written countless times to the XXXX XXXX and had discussions with FSA and Fedloan Servicing. I have just spoken to XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the financial aid office. She confirmed that the loans I have received for my education and the parent plus loan for my son total about {$40000.00}. She is unable to see the same amounts that the Fedloan website indicates. She also said their office is required by law to submit all documentation loan agreements charged against me. I have asked their office in the past for these and was instructed to contact the university. The debt charged against me is over {$160000.00} with interest at this point. I am giving this XXXX last effort to resolve the amount I owe in Parent Plus Student Loans before seeking legal advice and taking action against FedLoan Servicing for fraudulent student aid practices.

Company: MOHELA (DC)

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a response from my loan servicer that my ICR plan application was denied due to the inclusion of Parent PLUS loans in my consolidation loan. Subsequently following that I received another response, that Direct Consolidation loans made prior to XX/XX/XXXX, that included Parent PLUS loans are ineligible for IDR plans. The FSA website AT THAT TIME stated that " parent borrowers may consolidate their Direct PLUS Loans or Federal PLUS Loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan and then repay the new consolidation loan under the ICR Plan ''. 

I have a Direct PLUS Consolidation Loan from XXXX. Although requested many times ( for purposes of obtaining a repayment plan that won't bankrupt me ), I have yet to receive an explanation as to the difference between a Direct Consolidation Loan and a Direct PLUS Consolidation Loan. For the most part, the Dept of Education 's website implies Direct Consolidation loans have an advantage in applying for certain programs, yet I still don't understand the difference. A consolidation loan is a consolidation loan. 

I would like an explanation as to why the discrepancy.

XX/XX/XXXX I asked you to investigate and remove inaccurate accounts on my credit report. You have violated laws and my rights by failing to provide the necessary documentation within the 30-day period and because of this, a fraudulent claim sits on my credit report amongst others.

XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reports a charge-off {$0.00} balance as paid off in full, I am not liable to XXXX XXXX XXXX in any way. Especially based on the case The State of Connecticut vs. Santander Consumer USA INC.
