Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I sent letters to XXXX, Experian and XXXX on ( date of 609 letter ) regarding fraudulent, inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report. It has been over ( date since 609 letter was sent ) and I have not received a response from anyone. This is a violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate that my disputed debt has been disputed. I demand these accounts be blocked, deleted and removed from my consumer report immediately or I will file for litigation. I am trying to obtain credit and these inaccurate, fraudulent and unverifiable items are preventing me from doing so.

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I began receiving pre-approval notices for various credit cards and loans from credit karma. After filling out all of the necessary information as requested, I was denied. There were many hard inquiries made to my credit report that negatively affected my credit score. Many of these inquiries were made without my knowledge and I kept receiving pre-approval notices even after I was denied. I was then lead to believe by credit karma that these hard inquiries could be removed by filling out more information which then more hard inquiries were made to my credit score and the hard inquiries were not removed and more were added. My score has dropped considerably due to this fraudulent misinformation. Now I don't know what to do to have these inquiries removed and have my credit fixed as I was lead to believe by credit karma.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
When purchasing my XXXX from the dealership, the dealership claimed my credit score was XXXX when in actuality all 3 credit companies stated my actual score was XXXX, a difference of 50 points. Today, when trying to refinance the same car, Rate Genius states my score is XXXX when in actuality it is XXXX. It should be illegal for companies selling loans to misquote credit scores in order to sell higher interest loans. I think this violates truth in lending. This needs to stop! Especially when consumers clearly have access to their actual numbers!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial after receiving the news of Bidens Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in 2020. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I was a pell grant recipient and am therefore eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I paid almost $ XXXX in payments. 

It seems as though edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX  and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until January at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in January.

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart.
