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

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I had communications with my loan servicer ( XXXX ) about not wanting to be placed into in-school deferment status of my loans as I intended to continue to make income-based repayments. Despite these communications, I had multiple periods of in-school deferment status placed on my account, which made my payments ineligible to be counted for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness . 

Under the instruction of FedLoan Servicing, I submitted a retroactive waiver to remove my in-school deferments from XX/XX/XXXX onward. Despite calling XXXX and receiving confirmation of waiver receipt and assurance it would be applied to my account, it was not. I submitted a second waiver in XX/XX/XXXX, which was marked as approved XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX. However, I continue to have two periods of in-school deferment status on my account per both the FedLoan Servicing website and the Federal Student Aid government website, and the payments made during those periods have those been made ineligible for the PSLF service. 

Additionally, a prior period of in-school deferment is now showing as a status of administrative forbearance. During that period, I qualified and made payments of {$0.00} per my income-based repayment plan which should also count towards PSLF but are still marked as ineligible due to the erroneous forbearance status. 

If these incorrect statuses were updated appropriately as they should have been over XXXX  years ago, I would now qualify for public service loan forgiveness as I would have made XXXX qualifying payments. I have faxed and uploaded to the XXXX portal letters describing the above errors over the past several years and have called in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX to see what additional information is needed from me to correct this error. Both XXXX customer service representatives have provided incorrect information : either that they could not view this information in my account, and that they could not remove the in-school deferment status despite the approved removal waiver. They also could not tell me why I had a period of administrative forbearance and offered no rectification even if provided with evidence of loan payments during that period.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the XXXX 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.

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/22 we purchased XXXX Western Union money orders from XXXX in XXXX, OH. Then deposited them into our bank account. On XX/XX/22, XXXX of the money orders in the amount of {$1000.00} was returned by our bank. We redeposited the money order, for it to be returned again on XX/XX/22 with the return reason " refer to maker ''. We are unable to redeposit it again. 

We went to XXXX where the money order was purchased and was told we would need to contact Western Union directly. We attempted calling Western Union without success of reaching a person. On XX/XX/22, we submitted an on-line request to refund the money order, which could take up to 30 days. On XX/XX/22 we called Western Union and were finally able to reach a person. We asked about the status of the refund to be told that the money order had been cashed. We explained that we tried depositing it and it was returned to us by the bank. We were told a refund check would be sent to us by XX/XX/22. 

On XX/XX/22, we followed up to confirm a check was sent. We were told the same thing, that it was already cashed. We were spoke to a supervisor who asked for the bank letter that had previously been submitted to Western Union on-line, to be emailed to them for escalation. 

We were told it could take several business days before we will receive a response. Western Union has had the {$1000.00} for the past two months. We still do not have the {$1000.00} that my son needs for his college tuition. We need help resolving this issue and need that money immediately.
