Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have written Equifax on three occasions regarding some inquiries that I have found on my report, which have been causing damage to me as a consumer. After several attempts, they have not deleted them. Therefore, I am escalating this matter to you, the CFPB, with confidence that you will be able to properly assist. I am seeking to have the following inquiries deleted from my credit report : XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ; < -- ( That is not a typo ; that is how it is spelled out on my credit report ) ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. These inquiries were not made due to a firm offer of credit, to obtain insurance, for employment, or by a court order per 15 U.S. Code 1681b. These are also a non-account holding inquiries. Please remove the above inquiries as I believe to the best of my knowledge that the companies listed did not have permissible purpose to pull my credit.

Consumer complaint received 2022-10-27 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The issue is that, before the transfer of my federal student loans to XXXX, my then-student loan servicer Fed Loan Servicing gave me an incorrect determination for my XXXX request. The timeline of events is as follows. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I uploaded to FedLoan Servicing a XXXX Application. The Application came with a letter signed by me explaining that I sought XXXX for three specific loans which I had had since XXXX or before. Furthermore, I explained that I was XXXX XXXX in the XXXX from XXXX until XXXX. So, from my time in the XXXX that's approximately 8 years that should count towards the 10 years required for XXXX for the loans I specified. In addition, since XXXX I have been working at a federal agency, so that should count as an additional year toward the 10 year requirement. 

My letter also explained that because I am a veteran and my ex-employer the Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is difficult to work with, I could not find who at XXXX should sign Section 4 of the Application ( Employer Certification ) that certifies that I worked at that employer for an amount of time. Instead, I provided my official letter from the Department XXXX XXXX XXXX that said that I was XXXX XXXX and that I entered service XX/XX/XXXX and was XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that my XXXX Application was received by XXXX. While I waited for it to be processed, I went ahead and paid off one of the three specified loans in my Application, because it was such a low balance. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that my PSLF Application Determination was made. The Determination said that there was missing information, the Employer Certification. So, XXXX XXXX did not accept the official letter from the Department XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that my loans were transferred to XXXX. So, now it's XXXX 's problem. 

This series of events is problematic, because I have since found out that consumerfinance.gov has resources for veterans applying for XXXX that explicitly says that alternatives to Employer Certification exists. So, XXXX was able to process my XXXX Application and grant me the approx. 9 years of service towards the XXXX for the specified loans. FedLoans Servicing malfeasance has several negative waterfall effects. For one, I have to repeat the XXXX Application with XXXX. Second, XXXX is currently overwhelmed and difficult to communicate with as a result. Three, and this is a major concern, because of the {$20000.00} Debt Relief granted for which I qualify, there is a great risk that the Debt Relief will be applied toward the specified loans in my XXXX  Application for which I do not want Debt Relief since I am so close to satisfying XXXX  requirements. I'd rather have the Debt Relief applied to my more recent federal student loan debt which I incurred in XXXX - XXXX.

I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX XXXX breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
