My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax a consumer reporting agency, for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and rectify a violation regarding the reinsertion of previously deleted material into my credit report I sent a letter to Equifax notifying them of the reinsertion of XXXX XXXX  account number XXXX into my credit report without proper certification of accuracy and notification to me, as mandated by FCRA Section 611 ( B ). Despite waiting for 35 days after sending the letter, Equifax has failed to remove the reinserted account from my credit report, continuing to violate FCRA regulations. 
Equifax actions have caused significant inconvenience and potential harm to my credit profile, impacting my ability to access fair credit terms and financial opportunities. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Equifax, they have neglected to take appropriate action, demonstrating a lack of accountabilitv and compliance with federal consumer protection laws.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have student loans that were originally being serviced through XXXX XXXX, but then moved to XXXX. When I entered repayment after my 6 month grace period, I was give inaccurate information about repayment options via phone on more than 1 occasion. While I did my own research and knew there were multiple repayment plans, XXXX  consistently told me that the lowest payment plan I could be on was the plan that capped my payments at 20 % of my discretionary income. Each time I called, I asked to enroll in a IDR plan that capped the payment at 10 % of my discretionary income and each time I was told by the phone representative that there was no such plan and that I was already on the lowest payment plan. This was false information. When I complained, they told me they sent me information about all the repayment plans. However, when I attempted to enroll in a different plan, I was consistently blocked by the phone rep who told me I was already on the lowest plan. 

As a result of being on this higher payment plan, I ended up making extremely high payments for the first 2 years of my repayment. I was eventually able to switch to the IDR plan. However, the 2 years of overpayment drastically impacted my ability and decision to stay in a public service role. I chose to leave public service because I calculated that I would not benefit from PSLF given that my monthly payments were so high. I made a decision to try and pay all of my extra income to my loan since I was under the impression that I would not benefit from public loan forgiveness ( my payments were around $ XXXX x 120 months = XXXX, which was higher than my principal balance ). Secondly, I decided that I should look for a different position outside of public service so that I could afford my loan payments. If I had been given truthful information from day 1 of my loan repayment, I would have stayed in public service and ultimately benefitted from PSLF. I would have had much lower payments so that in the end of my 10 year repayment period, there would be a balance left to forgive on my loans. 

I would hope to receive some kind of resolution to this complaint, as it seems like XXXX  systematically deceived borrows in this manner. Their practices have forced me to make decisions I would not have otherwise made about my life, where I live, and my career, and have caused huge financial burdens and stress.
