Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: MOHELA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you because of issues with my student loans that neither my loan servicer, Mohela, nor studentaid.gov is addressing. 

My loan balance has increased despite being on SAVE and SAVE administrative forbearance with 0 % interest rate. I contacted Mohela, my servicer, about this and they told me that studentaid.gov has made a mistake, and I am on the list of names that they need to make corrections for ( remove the interest rate that has incorrectly accumulated ). When I contact studentaid.gov, they say that is it the fault of my servicer, Mohela. 

Neither are actually addressing the issue, though, but my student loan interests are falsely and incorrectly being accrued and balance is increasing. Can you help with this issue?

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I opened an account with XXXX XXXX through Synchrony Bank, receiving a credit limit of {$3800.00}. I consistently made my payments on time. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, when I checked my available credit, I was surprised to find only {$88.00} remaining. After requesting to speak with a representative, I learned that they had conducted a credit report on me, which led to a reduction of my limit to {$2900.00}. I did not authorize them to run a credit report, as I had not requested an increase in my credit line. I wish to report this unlawful action by the bank.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax Information Services LLC for failing to correct inaccurate reporting on my XXXX XXXX account, despite previous disputes. The errors are as follows : Incorrect Late Payment Reporting on a Closed Account XXXX  XXXX  XXXX account was closed, yet Equifax continues to report 120-day late payments, which is inaccurate.

This violates FCRA 605 ( a ), as closed accounts should not continue reporting new derogatory marks.

Discrepancy in Credit Limit Reporting Equifax reports my credit limit as {$0.00}, while TransUnion and XXXX correctly report it as {$200.00}. 
Under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ), furnishers must provide accurate and uniform information across all bureaus.

Failure to Properly Investigate Previous Disputes I previously disputed this account, yet Equifax failed to correct the errors or provide any proof of verification.

This violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), which requires Equifax to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation.

Potential Re-Aging of a Charge-Off Account The last reported date is continuously updated, which could be an attempt to re-age the debt illegally to extend its derogatory impact. 
FCRA 605 ( c ) prohibits credit bureaus from re-aging charge-off accounts beyond the legal 7-year reporting limit.

Previous Actions Taken : I disputed this account directly with Equifax, but they failed to correct or verify the information.

I also sent a dispute letter citing FCRA violations, yet Equifax did not comply.

Due to noncompliance, I am now escalating this matter to the CFPB.
