Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX ; XXXX  and Transunion are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 120-180 ) days late on the XXXX partial account numbers XXXX. XXXX  and Transunion are reporting that I am ( 120-180 ) days late on the XXXX partial account numbers XXXX and XXXX. ( Please see pages attached from my credit report. ) First, all of these accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Second, these accounts are currently being coded as an I5. These accounts should be coded as an I1. I have contacted the bureaus and have spoken to multiple representatives who have verbally stated to me they can not change the coding on these infractions. This is not true. I have spoken to my loan officer, as well as my lender, and it was confirmed that the coding on these items can be changed by the bureaus to report accurate information. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate coding information on a credit report. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these however, I have not been successful.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Apple / Goldman Sachs has a security issue whereby the following : 1 ) Apple cards MUST ONLY be applied for with the use of an apple device 2 ) Apple DOES NOT prompt for the XXXX ID to use to register ( if using a company or other phone to apply for a card ) for the card in question 3 ) The card can not be re-assigned WITHOUT first de-activating the card and going through the approval process again which hurts the credit of the person opening/closing the account. 

Furthermore, the process stated above once the card is in fact stuck in a hijacked or taken over apple account that a user can no longer log into ( e.g : password change, email change, security question change, sim jacking, etc. ) the user is at the mercy of the crediting agency and can not change to a different ID or even recover the account. 

This causes multiple problems from a security standpoint and a credit protection standpoint. Additionally, there are NO online tools to protect or secure the account outside of the Apple ecosystem. So, if your phone or device without proper hardware is breached you are left in a state of suspense to secure or freeze the account. 

These practices are unfair to hard working Americans that large companies are taking advantage of and leveraging technology against them in order to impact ones credit with force closing and re-opening accounts. Please investigate.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Equifax to learn why score dropped by 35 points as nothing on my report would indicate why such a drop. The agent said she does not know why and the computer provides the numbers. I also informed her that one of the items is showing an increase to my account. I explained to her that if my previous month report was XXXX and now my current balance is XXXX how was an increase done. She just kept repeating the same thing. I asked her if she could put in an inquiry to find out why my score dropped by 35 points if nothing on my report is indicating the reason for this. All she could say is the computer generated it. I want experian to look into why my score dropped by so much with details. This is just unacceptable to a consumer that helps to stimulate the economy through purchases and paying for my purchases.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my wife and I consolidated our Direct Federal Student loans into the Federal Family Education Loan Program managed by Sallie Mae shortly after we married. Since XXXX, we have paid {$100000.00} toward the loan disbursement of {$100000.00}. Unfortunately, we still have a loan balance of {$110000.00}. 

I have been working in XXXX XXXX since XXXX. In XXXX, I learned about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and contacted Sallie Mae at that time inquiring of what I needed to do to qualify. I was told I needed to enroll in income-based repayment plan and make 120 payments. I enrolled in IBR plan in XX/XX/XXXX, despite seeing an increase in my monthly payments, with expectation of having my student loans forgiven in XXXX. I have since had monthly payments directly debited from my checking account every month WITHOUT missing a single payment over the last 9 years. 

Fast forward to present and I recently learned the FFELP joint consolidation loan my wife and I have is not eligible for PSLF program, despite us both having Federal Direct loans that would otherwise qualify for the program. I applied for Direct Loan Consolidation with XXXX in order to qualify for PSLF and received notice this week that my application was denied because the FFELP joint consolidation " may not be included in a federal student loan consolidation ''. I reached out to Navient and again told FFELP and joint consolidation loans are not eligible for PSLF program. 

What's really sad is we are literally " stuck '' in this FFELP loan. At this point, we have no options to allow us to refinance. 

This is an issue that needs to be addressed ASAP. Any help you can provide in getting this fixed will be greatly appreciated.
