Consumer complaint received 2024-01-10 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Prior to the updating of EdFinancial 's systems, I was able to view all pertinent account and payment history on their website, including the ability to print a document showing my full name, account number, payment amounts, dates, and the loans being paid. 

After they updated their system, not only did my account number change which caused issues in itself, but their new website lacks basic financial auditing capabilities allowing me to print a detailed payment summary to use for loan reimbursements and payment tracking. It is not user-friendly for viewing past payments, AND I can not even view my payments made prior to the system update in XXXX  2023, instead they require me to request documentation from them. Despite this, in the " Help '' section of the website ( attached ), it says " Go to Account History to view complete payment history '' when in fact, you can not view your complete payment history ( thus being a false statement ). Immediately below is a note that says payments before the migration can not be viewed online. 

When requesting said documentation, their processing times are extended well over a month ( 37 business days ), even for somewhat simple document retrieval that should be able to be done by the borrower on the website. This is unacceptable for a financial institution, even more so when payments are due every 30 calendar days.

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
