Hello my name is XXXX XXXX and Im filing this complaint on behalf of myself and THERE IS NO UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED.

State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Experian is participating in deceptive practices I have reached out to the company numerous times about fraudulent accounts that are on my consumer report. I even educated them on the federal laws that they were violating and they still decided to violate my rights. 
They are in violation pursuant to 15 U.S code 1681 b permissible purposes. They are also in violation pursuant to 15 U.S code 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( iii ) deleting items off of my report and putting them back on without sending a reinsertion letter. Furthermore, they are reporting an account on my report that is not only fraudulent but it is being reported incompletely because it has no account number. I've sent over my Ftc report that they said they could not accept I've sent over an affidavit of truth and i have sent my letter to them certified with a return receipt so I know they have received my demands in writing. Federal law also states that when an account is being reported as the fraud it needs to be removed within 5 business days but Experian keeps telling me that they won't take it off. I already have enough evidence to sue Experian in a federal courtroom for the multiple violations but I want to give them one last chance to fix there wrongdoing.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have been working for the same company since XXXX, which is considered a qualifying employer under PSLF. I was employed full time as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was told that I should put the loans on forbearance during my residency, and I know now that that was bad advice. I started paying my student loans after I got my first full time job out of residency in XX/XX/XXXX, the first payment was in XXXX. I made 17 payments total towards the PSLF program before getting another full time job in XX/XX/XXXX. When I got this new position ( the program I currently work for ), I filed employment verification and was told my payments do not count. The position was for 32 hour/week with full time benefits. I was told that because the company does not consider me " full time '', I can not count my payments. The company gives all employees working more than 30 hours/week full time benefits, and the PSLF " full time '' definition is more than 30 hours/week. I still work for the same program now, and have changed positions recently but still work 32 hours/week. My original loan amount was roughly {$90000.00} and the most recent loan information states I have paid over {$150000.00} in loans and interest. It is not fair that I continue to suffer with these payments. I have started a family and have continued to serve the vulnerable population through my work and get penalized for this technicality.

Neither company is the real party in interest. Neither company ( debt collectors ) can provide any legal capacity to attempt to collect or report an alleged debt. There are no court orders or judgement ( s ) in place and therefore where there is no contract there is no claim!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I opened a credit account to purchase new flooring on or about XX/XX/XXXX. My credit limit was {$3500.00}. My purchase was made under a promotion and I made sure to pay off the entire amount prior to the expiration. The original charge was approximately {$3000.00}. I always made more then the minimum payment and the final payment was made mid XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from the credit company indicating that they had done a review of my credit report from XXXX, and they had made the decision to lower my credit limit to {$1900.00}. I was very upset about this and called the company, I received no help by anyone, even after escalating to a higher manager. I was told that they reviewed accounts every quarter. This was the first Time this had ever happened to me. I was very upset. A week later, on XXXX, I received another communication from the company referencing the same XXXX credit report but now stating that they decided to close my account. I called the company again and escalated two levels of managers and was basically told they can do whatever they want. I explained repeatedly that what they were doing was unfair and I felt was a direct result of my complaisance the week before with one of the managers. Again, I was told they can close my account and mess up my credit score if they feel like it. I asked for a copy of the policy and was told that they didnt have anything they could provide. I feel that I was treated unfairly. The closure of this account will have a direct and negative result on my credit score.
