I even paid off the XXXX transaction fee of XXXX right away as I seen the posting, and they declined to reverse the {$10.00} fee.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I still have yet to receive a response to an contact form inquiry I submitted to Edfinancial Services on XX/XX/XXXX. I have not seen the corrected balance on my account after speaking to a customer service representative. An incorrect balance has been showing on my account as of XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to this date, the amount was correct. My account displays an " adjustment '' of {$8300.00}. This is the exact amount paid from my Federal Employer via check as of XX/XX/XXXX. This adjustment wrongly increased the total current balance, now at {$12000.00}, including interest which has been accruing based on this balance. My most recent payment ( via Employer ; XX/XX/XXXX ) applied to the principal and interest, that would not have accrued at the rate it has been, based off of an incorrect account balance. I have requested Edfinancial Services to adjust my loan balance, as well as recalculate/adjust interest based on the correct total. I reached out on XX/XX/XXXX via a contact form, as well as called numerous times until reaching a customer service representative on XX/XX/XXXX. I was not guaranteed a resolution. I have yet to receive an account adjustment and poor communication from the servicer will not allow me to be notified if my account is ever corrected. I have offered to provide documentation as well as record of previous payment history.

I recently pulled my experian credit report and saw that EXPERIAN reported on my credit report that I had one late payment in XX/XX/2021. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, EXPERIAN has violated my rights. 

Under 15USC1681 SECTION 602 states that I have the right to PRIVACY.

Also, under 15 USC 1681 SECTION 604a SECTION 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS.

I NEVER gave EXPERIAN or ANY CREDIT BUREAU written instruction to furnish any information on my consumer report, which is a violation of 15USC1681b.
