Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Client Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card debt with XXXX XXXX  and was referred to Client Service Inc. After several phone calls, I was able to finally talk to an agent who did verify that this debt was referred to them. However, this particular individual was very aggressive in working a payment plan and demanded immediately my bank account information. I was told to do that in order to avoid further action, although that was never specified. XXXX XXXX  never notified me that they were sending my account to a third party. There is very little information regarding this matter from either agency except to what was said to me over the phone. I have no access to any information regarding my account from XXXX and CSI.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial immediately after receiving the news of Bidens Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in XXXX. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXnd am therefore eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I paid almost $ XXXX in eligible payments. It seems as though Edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. 

Since my initial request for a reinstatement of eligible loan payments, I have only received a reinstatement of {$130.00}, significantly less than my requested payments. I was told that this was because of the closing of several loan accounts held by my previous processor ( XXXX XXXX ) due to eligible payments made. In a response from a previous complaint submitted to CFPB, I was told by an EdFinancial representative that I would need to contact XXXX XXXX. The representative at XXXX redirected me back to EdFinancial for any refund requests, as XXXX XXXX no longer services federal student loans. Yet again, I reached out to EdFinancial for the status of my previous refund requests only to be met with the representative being unable to provide processing times for my request. This request has been processing since the end of XXXX with little to no updates along the way. I am very frustrated with the process of reinstating and refunding my eligible loan payments, as EdFinancial has the list of payments as well as bank statements for proof of payment and I have not been processed.

Company: MOHELA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I graduated from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2021, and like many of my classmates began working in the Fall, in XX/XX/2021. I work for a XXXX XXXX. I applied for public service loan forgiveness certification. I have XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX loans. I was told that my public service for XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 would not count towards XXXX for 3 of my 6 loans. Mohela told me this was because those loans were in in-school deferment until XX/XX/2021. The loans were also in temporary forbearance under the Department of Education policy due to XXXX, so no one thought it would matter whether the loans were technically in forbearance or deferment. It also seems odd that only some loans were in in-school deferment until XXXX and not others. I think we should get credit for any public service regardless of whether I'm in temporary forbearance or in-school deferment.

Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.
