Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I received this card as a gift from my coworkers. I returned to work a week after my birthdate on Monday, XXXX XXXX on this day I was given the gift card. I was extremely grateful and noticed it was a Visa gift card which are usually used everywhere as normal currency.

Upon opening the card, I noticed part of the number was blocked from the card design. Not thinking anything of it, I used the card later this week ( XX/XX/XXXX ) at XXXX. It declined, and I then realized I needed to activate the card which usually is no problem, but the card number is blocked by the design, so since I could not read the number, I can not activate the card. I called multiple times to the company of the card, Vanilla Visa Gift Card to hear their FAQs to find out why I can not see my card number. No solution attained by doing so. I then looked up Vanilla Gift and found others were scammed by the same company and reported it. I can provide proof of the card.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Today I tried to retrieve my free annual credit report from Experian via XXXX, the authorized site for this purpose under federal law. Experian 's system refused to provide me access to my credit report after I had provided my identity information, as Experian is required to do by law. Experian, in fact, has prevented me from accessing my report in this fashion for years. The last time Experian successfully provided me a credit report via annualcreditreport.com was on XX/XX/2015. Yes, 2015. More than eight years ago. Since then I've had to send them snail mail and/or file regulatory complaints to obtain my report, despite Experian 's obligation under federal law to have a WORKING system on annualcreditreport.com. 

Experian needs to fix their part of the XXXX web site. Experian needs to provide me with the free copy of my credit report that I am entitled to. The CFPB must fine and sanction Experian for Experian 's pattern and practice of breaking the law.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment on my student loan for {$250.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Three weeks went by and still nothing had been taken off of my loan and there is nothing EdFinancials website stating that I made a payment. Despite the fact, that it took the money out of my bank account, I have a confirmation email for the payment from EdFinancial, and it is shown on my bank statement that it was taken out. I then sat on hold for three hours waiting for someone to pickup the phone at EdFinancial, only to be told that they do not know where my money went and can not help me. I then submitted my bank statement and screenshot of the payment confirmation email that was sent after I made the payment so that they could review it and apply it to my loan. It has now been another week and I have not been contacted, nor has my money been applied to my loan.
