Company: AES/PHEAA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I learned recently about the TEPSLF opportunity looking at the news. So I started researching this program and found out that it was temporary. This lead me to research the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program. After doing much research, I saw that in order to qualify for this  program I had to be in an income-based repayment plan. I've taken a forbearnace for the last 3 years. Every year I called, the XXXX XXXX representatives NEVER informed me that instead of taking a forbearance that I actually could of entered into an income drive repayment plan and get a much lower monthly payment that would've been counted as a qualifying payment under the PSLF program. I am still having financial hardship and I have no other options as I have now exhausted my forbearance and I have no choice but to pay a very high monthly payment! I felt that the representatives I spoke to over the years did not have enough knowledge about repayment options and lack training. This really saddens me as now I can't go back in time and I'm stuck due to XXXX XXXX incompetent staff.

I received a letter from Citibank with a XXXX ThankYou points offer after opening Citi Priority account with qualifying activities. My family member and I went to Citibank branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX to open the account on XX/XX/XXXX. During the processing, we asked the banker to check the eligibility of my family member and the banker said he was eligible so we both opened the Citi Priority Accounts. 
We had fulfilled all the requirements in XXXX, XXXX and I did a live chat with a Citibank representative online, she confirmed that the requirements had been fulfilled and she also provided the promotion code, XXXX, to us as a reference. It has been almost 8 months since the accounts had been opened. Citibank keeps charges us monthly fee but doesn't want to fulfill the XXXX ThankYou points promise. We called the Citibank customer service phone line and they said they didn't see any promotion with these accounts. They instructed us to talked to the banker who opened our accounts. We talked to him and he said he had no idea and asked us to call the Citibank Customer service phone line. It's extremely frustrating and it's like a scam for us.

Complaint narrative:
The problem I'm having is I've contacted the 3 major credit bureaus and asked them numerous times to validate inaccurate information on my credit report. I will attach the letter I sent to all 3 credit bureaus.

All 3 bureaus mailed dispute result back claiming to have verified the items on my credit report. Now the issue occurs because they did not validate the information from the original data furnisher via by mail they did it electronically and also, they never produced a copy of the signed contract with my name on it. The 609 Fair Credit Reporting Act the ( LAW ) requires that the information on my credit report must be accurate, verifiable and not outdated and 100 % accurate. They all have failed to comply with the law and now I'm seeking assistance from the CFPB.

Complaint narrative:
This makes the 4th time I have tried to get fraudulent information removed from my credit report. I have been victim of identity theft. Equifax refuses to remove the information from my credit report. Instead, they continue to give me the run around, instead of removing the information, they are requesting information regarding my address. I have provided them with this information several times. This is a stall tactic ; I have recently faxed over the requested documents, again. I want the fraudulent information, removed from my credit report and a fraud alert placed on my credit file. However Equifax, despite providing them with police reports and supporting documentation, refuses to remove the accounts, and refuses to place the alert on my credit file. Something that I had little to no problem getting accomplished with XXXX and XXXX.
