Consumer complaint received 2025-06-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a goodwill adjustment for a late payment that Aidvantage reported on my student loan. I acknowledge that I was technically late on the payment, but I paid my loan in full before the delinquency appeared on my credit report. 

I did not receive any payment notices or reminders because the only email address Aidvantage had on file was my old college email address, which I no longer used. I also did not receive any mailed notices or phone calls.

I asked Aidvantage for clear contact information for their credit bureau management department so I could send a goodwill removal letter and supporting documents. I specifically requested an email, phone number, or direct contact person. I was told I could only send my request by physical mail with no guarantee it would reach the right department.

This late payment has significantly harmed my credit score ( approx. XXXX points ), and it is my only negative mark. I have otherwise managed my credit responsibly and have a good credit payment history overall. I am asking Aidvantage to please review my goodwill removal request and consider deleting the late payment from my reports as a courtesy, given my prompt payoff and good credit payment history.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a federal student loan borrower who graduated with a XXXX degree in XXXX and consolidated my loans in XXXX. Since then, I have been enrolled in XXXX or XXXX plans, with occasional forbearance, and have also had periods of qualifying public service employment for XXXX. 

I submitted an XXXX  application to MOHELA in XX/XX/XXXX. MOHELA has placed me in administrative forbearance but has failed to provide my qualifying payment count for XXXX forgiveness. When I requested my loan history and XXXX  forgiveness progress, I was told that records before XXXX are not available due to system limitations and that I must contact the Department of Education. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) refers me back to MOHELA. I am now caught between XXXX agencies with neither willing to provide the records I need to validate the debt, verify my forgiveness progress, or confirm whether the one-time XXXX  account adjustment has been applied. 

This situation has left me unable to : - Validate the debt Im being asked to repay - Confirm how many months I have earned toward XXXX forgiveness - Understand if my {$0.00} payments and qualifying XXXX  months have been applied correctly MOHELA is the assigned servicer under contract with the Department of Education and is legally responsible for maintaining complete borrower records and reporting qualifying payments. The inability to access my full loan record and payment count violates federal borrower protections and appears to be a failure in both transparency and servicing standards. 

I am requesting the CFPB investigate this breakdown in servicing accountability and ensure that : XXXX. My complete payment history is made available, including XXXX qualifying periods XXXX. My XXXX  payment count is verified and sent in writing XXXX. The one-time XXXX  adjustment is confirmed and applied XXXX. No billing or repayment resumes until the above items are resolved

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
Tried to close the account in XXXX, but were given wrong dates and information and it rolled over for an additional XXXX XXXX. This year, we called on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Each time, we were on for at least XXXX minutes with various people. We went online and linked our XXXX XXXX XXXX  account to Synchrony to try and close the account and transfer the money. I was able to link our accounts but not to close the CD. Their policy dictates that you can only close accounts by phone. XXXX said the account would be closed and the money transferred on XX/XX/XXXX. The maturity date of the CD was XX/XX/XXXX. We called after and talked to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They created a joint call with XXXX XXXX XXXX  at XXXX XXXX  with XXXX. They verified that XXXX XXXX 's account was correct and could receive the funds from Synchrony Bank. That conversation is recorded by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Synchrony told us on that phone call that it was all set and the money would be transferred within XXXX XXXX. We called back on XX/XX/XXXX and talked to XXXX who confirmed that the account was closed and was processing and that we should have the money some day this week. It is now XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and the money has not been transferred, and when we log into the Synchrony account, it says the CD has renewed with a maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
