Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello, First, thank you to whoever is reading this for the work that you do- love the CFPB. 

My issue is with my apparently former student loan servicer, FedLoan Servicing. I am one of the many Americans who is eligible to have some of their student loans discharged under the recently announced Student Loan Forgiveness. I made regularly monthly payments during the COVID pandemic despite the payment pause because I was able to do so and worried about my long term debt burden. Now, I am seeking both forgiveness of my remaining balance and to recoup some of the payments I made during the pandemic. 

When I reached out to FedLoan Servicing today, who I understood to still be servicing my loans- I regularly log into my FedLoan Servicing account, they informed me that they transferred my loans to XXXX. This is the first I've heard of it - I was not informed in advance that my loans were being transferred to another servicer, and I've never been individually informed via email or direct mail that my loans had changed hands. If I had been notified, I would've taken to opportunity to download detailed billing information in advance. These loan servicers are shady - I can't help but think that the lack of notice/forewarning is intentional and designed to complicate mine ( and I assume others ) ability to access loan forgiveness. There need to be stronger regulations in place about this in terms of notice periods- there should never be a gap in my ability to be fully aware of my current loan obligations and the history of my payments because that gap only benefits the servicer and is disadvantageous to me as a consumer. Any assistance you can lend in ensuring both that I am able to access my loan history and set up a new account with XXXX, and to ensure that other consumers are able to do the same by advocating for stricter regulations on the transferrence of student loans between servicers would be much appreciated. 

Best, XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Over the past several months I have made complaints to Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX that I am not getting a credit report regarding my mortgage that I have had since XXXX. My credit history is showing up on XXXX and XXXX but not on Experian. Each entity is blaming the other one. 

Experian says that they are not getting data from XXXX. XXXX has responded to CFPB that they are providing the data and they provided proof. The letter is from XXXX XXXX and proof that they are reporting. 

I called to speak with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. He referred to his supervisor, XXXX XXXX who has escalated my complaint to get to a resolution. I called Experian and got a report and XXXX is NOT on it. I sent it to XXXX who has acknowledged that their trade line is not listed. He has promised to find out what is wrong. 

TODAY, XX/XX/XXXX, I learned from lead supervisor XXXX XXXX that he spoke with Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the Data Reporting Team Dispute # XXXX. XXXX, according to XXXX, sent him an email saying that Experian had purged my account from Experian 's database which is a direct contradiction to Experian 's response dated XX/XX/XXXX. This does not make sense. I did not ask to have my file purged and XXXX said they did not ask to have their trade line purged from my account. 

I want a credit report from XXXX XXXX  on my Experian File. I want them both to resolve the problem rather than going back and forth blaming each other. I am getting terrible and dishonest service. There needs to be a resolution. I WANT A CREDIT REPORT. I should not have to get an attorney or file a discrimination complaint with the Ohio Attorney General 's Office.

Complaint narrative:
I've been having a problem with Transunion and their website for the past 8 months. First I could put a freeze on but couldn't take it off through the website. Then I thought the problem was fixed when I called in and spoke with someone who blamed it on website technical difficulties but told me to just call in whenever it happens and they would remove on put on a freeze. This time when it didn't work they would not remove the freeze and and wanted me to mail different information to them to remove freeze. This is totally unfair and unacceptable and I want vthe freeze removed and told them I wouldn't be mailing them anything. Please help now I can't apply for anything because of their system being messed up.
