Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Fedloan appears to have lied to me in an official written communication, advising me to take action that adversely impacted me. I applied for TEPSLF shortly after the program began. I ended up having to involve my US Representative in Congress because during the transfer from Fedloan to XXXX my application was lost. {$100000.00} was forgiven by FedLoan in XXXX. I reached out to my Representative for help even getting a TEPSLF qualifying payment count on the remaining {$60000.00}. I received a letter from my congressman today that had I consolidated all of my student loans, all of them would have been forgiven, per the US Department of Education 's communication to him. Now I have between 3 and 4 years left to make qualifying payments on them. I initially had requested to consolidate all my student loans. My complaint is -- -- FedLoan then appears to have lied to me in writing in an official communication. They wrote me in a letter, dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, he following, " We wanted to confirm that you intentionally included Direct Loans on your consolidation application, because consolidating your loans will 'erase ' any qualifying payments you may have already made toward the required 120 for PSLF and TEPSLF purposes. If you include these Direct Loans in your new Consolidation Loan, any qualifying payments you have made during qualifying employment periods will never be counted toward PSLF or TEPSLF. '' FedLoan directly advised me in writing that I would not have any qualifying payments under TEPSLF if I consolidated all my loans. Of course, I had them remove the Direct loans from my consolidation. Who wouldn't? Because they lied to me in an official written communication on Fedloan/US Dept of Education letterhead XXXX I removed those loans from my consolidation request. As a result of their inaccurate information, I now have almost four more years I must remain employed in a qualifying job and pay on those {$60000.00} in student loans, leaving me with the risk that if I leave my job or can not continue in it for any reason, I will completely lose this benefit. This letter directly advised me to take action that was adverse to my interests which I had not asked to take before receiving the letter. My current Lender is XXXX. At the time Fedloan was processing my TEPSLF form. XXXX finished the process. The entire process of receiving qualifying TEPSLF payment counts under all my student loans took from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, or 15 months from my initial application. Fedloan appears to no longer service student loans and their website no longer exists.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Hello. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have tried to contact a Human person at these credit companies, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Credit Bureau, Experian Credit Bureau and Annual Credit Report. I tried all their numbers and called five times over the past two weeks. The automated system for each service will not move me forward to the customer service representative. I am told by the automated system that because I do not have Limited Circumstances I can not speak to a representative.I can not access my credit report as my information is, apparently, not associated with my annual report account. I have been told by a bank that I have poor credit. However, I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and have not established any lines of credit history. I believe my credit information has been either compromised or used by a family member. 

I am very frustrated that I can not talk to a real person at all of these top leading credit companies, all of which hold information associated with my social security number. These companies have access to information that I need to verify and/or correct to see if my Credit has been in fact used by someone else. Can someone please help with how I can reach out to a person for one or all of these Credit Bureaus, please?
