Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation. 

Signed the loan expecting deferred payment. Turns out that it was not deferred, and company lied to my mother ( she cosigned ) and I multiple times about payments.We called multiple times and were told that our payments were deferred until after my graduation in XXXX. We were told it was deferred Then, we suddenly get contacted and told we owe payments by XX/XX/XXXX. After numerous attempts to contact the company, we were put on hold for days with an advisor named XXXX. She steamrolled us, not allowing any questions, and then changed the loan into a deferred payment, upping the interest rate to 6 %. This means the {$400.00} payment is now {$590.00}. I did not sign for the {$590.00} payment, or a non deferred loan. What company provides immediate payment student loans? How am I supposed to repay {$590.00} payments a month as a XXXX XXXX XXXX? This is a morally unjust practice, and XXXX implied that this happened to multiple other students. 

XXXX said it is due to their system not processing loans as deferred. Why am I being forced to hike my interest because their system failed? That is a breach of our student loan borrowing agreement and needs to be rectified. I am not even able to access loan documents, being even more shady. 

Why are we, as full time students, getting screwed over by incompetent lenders? My paperwork specifically mentioned the deferment until after graduation. This means they breached a federally binding contract, and should be investigated. Their website is also very shallow and does not offer assistance at all, even seeming predatory. 

I am making this complaint on behalf of myself and every other loan borrower from XXXX, and I urge the CFPB to look into this predatory company. Incompetence seems to XXXX  from every XXXX  of this organization, and it is not fair that hard working student loan borrowers like myself get punished for their XXXX.

On XX/XX/2023 I received a alert from XXXX XXXX stating that there was a remark make on my Transunion account from XXXX services stating that my account was increased by {$200.00} between the months of XX/XX/2023 to XX/XX/2023. No missed payments were reported to that credit account. I went to the local branch on XX/XX/2023 and spoke with a representative loan specialist about the remark that was made and she looked into my account. She stated that the account on file does not show an increase in amount and the amount that was reported to the credit bureau is significantly more than the amount that I owe. She then went through my payments and stated that I did not have any missed or late payments so I also was not charged any late fees. She stated there wasn't any annual fees added to my account either so she did not see where those charges would come from. The loan specialist suggested to dispute the remark made to my account to XXXX and XXXX. She stated that she will print off my payment history if I needed to submit them to the credit bureaus myself to prove there was not an increase in my balance. My credit was negatively impacted by the remark that was made.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted them via telephone and in writing. They are reporting that I filed a recent bankruptcy in 2020 causing me to be declined and or pay higher interest rates. I did not file bankruptcy in 2020. My ex husband filed in 2020 and I was by accident added by mistake. They quickly corrected the issue and closed the bankruptcy with me. My ex husband currently filed the bankruptcy and not me. The credit company has failed to correct this issue by removing the bankruptcy filed in 2020 by my ex husband. They fail to do anything with removing and its causing me to be declined bc of this error. Banks are looking that I filed bankruptcy in 2020 counting it has a recent bankruptcy. However, there is no court order showing a discharge of this 2020 bankruptcy but I did not file one. They also fail to remove inquiries that I have in writing disputed. I have a fraud alert on my credit which makes a company have to go through steps to extend credit. The companies have never called me and I have never done business with them. The alert was placed due to my ex husband using my social security number. The same companies are running my credit every month without getting authorization from myself. The credit agencies as well failed to protect my credit account even with several telephone complaints and filing concerns and disputes in writing. This is an issue with all 3 credit agencies.

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management over the course of the past few years has continually violated my Consumer Rights by illegally reporting incorrect balance information to the credit bureau. They claim I owe them a balance of {$530.00} from an original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX I have requested validation of the debt on several occasions and have not recieved validation. I have also requested an investigation by the 3 credit bureaus into this debt and they have claimed to have validated the debt. Midland has been illegally raising and lowering the balance by {$1.00} without any payment or interest charges being made to intentionally harm my credit and force a payment from me. I contacted Midland credit management back in XXXX  over the phone and spoke with a supervisor which claimed the credit bureaus were the ones raising and lowering the balance. I also was in touch with the Credit bureaus which also denied any responsibility in the raising and lower of this collection account. This is a violation according to my FCRA rights and I would like this to be deleted from my credit report or else I will be looking to sue Midland and the 3 credit bureaus.
