Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I requested my credit report from Eqiuifax on XX/XX/2019. I saw that there was negative information reported by XXXX   XXXX/XXXX in the file that XXXX maintains under my Social Security Number. Upon reviewing that copy of my credit report, I saw an entry listing an account was charged off {$1900.00}. I wrote and certified mailed a letter to Equifax challenging the accuracy, compliance and reportability of this listing. I asked them to please validate that information with XXXX XXXX/XXXX and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature. I requested in the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally requested that the information be immediately deleted from the credit file they maintain under my Social Security Number. I also stated that I do not consent to XXXX or any means of automated verification. They replied back that XXXX XXXX " Verified '' that the account they are reporting under my name is accurate. I then on XX/XX/2019 certified mailed another letter to Equifax Requesting that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information was being requested, to b provided within 15 days of the completion of their re-investigation. Additionally, to please provide the name, address and telephone number of each person contacted regarding this alleged account. I formally requested a copy of any documents provided bearing my signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay them the exact amount claimed. And that any automated response or XXXX verification is unacceptable. I requested a re-investigation and their method of verification. They did not reply back in 30 days. So by them not replying back within 30 days they violated federal law, and they had failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. And I have evidence via certified mail receipts. So they must remove the item.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: AES/PHEAA (FL)

I am currently enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program. I have submitted my employment certification ( have worked at the same public state higher education institution as XXXX XXXX for over 5 years ) and been rejected several times. Each time, the reasons are the manner in which the form has been submitted by either me or my employer. Each time I have called and my employer have called and we have made the adjustments as instructed. Each time I have been rejected. The last payments that were certified were from XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time I have submitted Employment Certification and received letters rejecting my certification claims on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. In that time my certified qualifying payments toward my PSLF has remained at 49 of 120 qualifying payments and 50 of 120 qualifying payments. The Fed Loan Servicing PSLF calculator lists 27 payments as " employment not certified '' when they should be added to my total qualifying payments since my employment is qualified for PSLF and we have made multiple attempts to qualify my employment ( see previous dates ). 

This is not the first time I have had to make a complaint against Fed Loan Servicing for this same issue. The last time my employment was certified it was the result of a similar complaint I have lodged with the CFPB. This is a recurring issue for Fed Loan Servicing. I demand my employment be certified as myself and my employer have been instructed using the tools and existing submissions of employment certification that we have made. The direct instruction and support given to us by the Fed Loan Servicing working on behalf of the Dept of Education is inadequate.
