Consumer complaint received 2022-05-03 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
In late XXXX, my student loans were transferred from XXXX XXXX to EdFinancial. Upon the transfer, EdFinancial stopped mailing statements to us. Throughout the COVID-19 Student Loan Forebearance, XXXX XXXX continued to mail us statements and accept payments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called about my account and how 3 months had passed without any statement from them. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, the EdFinancial representative claimed that in that conversation in XXXX, EdFinancial agreed to start sending my statements but by doing so I would waive the COVID-19 Forebearance. I have no recollection of that agreement to waiver forebearance, EdFinancial was not able to provide a transcript of the call, or produce the script their staff were instructed to use. As such, EdFinancial began charging interest on my federal student loans starting XX/XX/XXXX. 

Today EdFinancial agreed to reinstate the forebearance on all my lines, going back to XX/XX/XXXX ( though it's on me to check my account in a couple days to make sure it happened ). The EdFinancial story here doesn't line up. The idea that the only way for a loan service provider to create statements is to waive the forebearance is not in keeping with the experience and practice of other loan service providers. EdFinancial claimed they were following the regulations on this, but my request for them reference the actual regulation they were implementing was unmet. 

The entirety of their actions were designed to maximize their benefit and minimize my opportunity to pay off these loans. They were unable to provide any concrete evidence that their practices are mandated by Department of Education ( though they didn't hesitate invoke the Department 's name ), and is not in keeping with the practice of other service providers. 

The fact that EdFinancial so easily reversed course with ( yet to be confirmed ) retroactive changes is further circumstantial evidence that all these manipulations on their part are arbitrary and only designed for their benefit. There is no reason, save their own self-interest, they can not continue to use the USPS to request and collect payments from loanees who are looking to do so. For all the reasons stated above, their position amounts to excuses.

I got them to reverse course on this, but how many others is EdFinancial playing games with and hiding behind ill defined jargon?

Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Looking high and low, I can not locate a way to contact BSI Financial Services. I sent a message yesterday, and today I got an opaquely technical message from XXXX saying the message was deleted unread. I simply need to tell them I have a new bank account number for their auto-pay set up ( same bank ). I spent an hour and half yesterday XX/XX/2022 establishing the new count ( the old one having been compromises by fraud ) and don't think they have contact information. 

A customer service phone number, online chat or valid email address ought to suffice. If they don't have at least one of these, they shouldn't be handling residential mortgages.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.
