Complaint narrative:
I have a Victoria Secret credit card through Commenity Bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification from XXXX that my credit report was pulled from this creditor. Keep in mind, I have multiple credit cards through this bank. I called their customer service department on XXXX to speak with a representative at Commenity bank. At XXXX EST, XXXX proceeded to tell me that her supervisor said because I updated my income, that resulted in an automatic hard pull, which is showing up as a hard inquiry on my credit report. I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX at XXXX AM on that same day who told me that this was true. She told me that I asked for a credit increase on XX/XX/XXXX and this is the reason why the report was pulled on XX/XX/XXXX due to this request on XX/XX/XXXX. I proceeded to tell her that is impossible. As I previously mentioned, I have several commenity Bank credit cards and I have requested credit limit increases in the past which have only ALWAYS resulted in a soft pull. I logged into my Experian account and can see all of the credit limit increases that I have asked for under soft pull inquiries- none of the credit increases I have requested through commenity bank are displayed under the hard pull inquiries list. Several other consumers have noted the same problem that Commenity Bank is pulling customers credits without their consent but have been able to speak with a supervisor and get this hard inquiry removed. Since I was not able to, this is why Im reporting this incident. Keep in mind I also reported this same bank through CFPB ( complaint ID XXXX ) in which they responded and told me they would not be reporting any such thing to the credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I'm just mailing you to let you know, respectfully, that you are incorrectly reporting some information on my credit report. I'm pretty frustrating to be honest, but I know that mistakes happen. I trust you'll fix the situation. 

Here 's the wrong info : 1. This is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
EAGLELOAN Account XXXX : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 


I keep immaculate records of payment history acrossed all my bills and accounts, and there should be no late payments showing here. 

Inaccurate late payments like this are preventing me from obtaining credit that I'm trying to apply for because it's lowering my credit score big time. I've already been in talks with some experts who have informed me that there are laws to ensure that inaccurate credit information can't be reported. 

I take this very seriously and I would appreciate it if you remove the late payment marks off this account as soon as possible.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have a private loan for {$10000.00} that was given to me through my XXXX school, the University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is serviced by Heartland ECSI. This loan was deferred throughout my residency and fellowship training, through verification forms that I submitted on time every year ( see attached forms ). During COVID, the University and ECSI were following the guidelines from the CARES act, continuing the forbearance regardless of training status because of COVID. When I spoke to the ECSI representatives during this time, they told me that I did not have to submit any training verification forms because my loans were already in forbearance. 

Unbeknownst to me, the University and ECSI decided to stop following the guidelines for federal student loans, and as of XX/XX/XXXX my loans went back into active repayment without my knowledge. I received NO communication that this was taking place, neither from the University nor ECSI. I had assumed that my loans would remain in forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX, as my other federal loans will. Unfortunately, I was charged interest for the month of XXXX, even though my fellowship training did not end until XX/XX/XXXX. In fact, I even had a final deferment form dated XX/XX/XXXX, which should have covered me through the month of XXXX ( see attached forms ). 

My plan was to pay off the loan in full once the forbearance ended and am prepared to do so today. However, it is not right that I was charged interest for a period of time when my loans should have been in forbearance. Despite multiple phone calls to ECSI explaining the situation, they refuse to remove the interest from my account. After much difficulty ( including being hung up on by an ECSI " advocate '' ), I have escalated the situation to a supervisor and am awaiting a call back regarding this issue.
