Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment concerning the ongoing issues I have been experiencing while trying to correct late open accounts with Equifax and XXXX Credit Bureaus. 

Over the past few months, I have made several attempts to rectify the late open accounts that have been incorrectly reported in my name. Despite my persistent efforts, the situation remains unresolved. I believe it is essential to provide a brief overview of my attempts : I initially noticed the late open accounts on my credit report and promptly contacted your customer service department. I explained the situation and submitted the necessary documentation. I was assured that the issue would be corrected promptly. 

After not receiving any updates or resolutions, I followed up on the status of my case. I was informed that my case was under review and that I would be contacted shortly. 

To my dismay, I had still not received any updates or resolutions. I made another inquiry and was told that my case had been escalated and that I should expect a resolution within a specific timeframe. 

The timeframe for resolution passed, and I had yet to receive any communication or see any progress in correcting the late open accounts. I called your customer service department again, only to be told that my case was still under investigation, with no further information provided. 

This cycle has continued without any meaningful progress, despite my providing all necessary documentation and complying with your company 's requests. The late open accounts on my credit report are adversely affecting my financial and personal well-being. 

I kindly request the following : Immediate action to correct the late open accounts on my credit report.

Clear communication regarding the status of my case and the steps being taken to rectify the issue. 
A formal written acknowledgment of the correction of the late open accounts. 
Compensation for any financial losses or damages incurred as a result of these late open accounts. Please assist me to correct the accounts in my credit file : XXXX DEPARTMENT XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, 2018 Balance {$1500.00} ; XXXX DEPARTMENT XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened XXXX XXXX, 2018 Balance {$1500.00}.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to contact Edfinancial about my student loans for 2 months now. I applied to the SAVE program through studentaid.gov as soon as it was available in XX/XX/ and currently when I log into Edfinancial all it says is IBR for my loans and the amount is double than what it should be. 

First I've tried to call them, and the wait times have been anywhere from 4-12 hours. I don't have time to wait that long during the day since I have to work. Next I tried to use there automated call back system, but they never called me. Then I tried to send them an email, but never got a response. Then about two weeks ago I submitted a forbearance request because my due date was XX/XX/XXXX and I couldn't afford what the payment showed. 

My forberance request still hasn't been processed and I've never gotten a call/email back to date, and now I've missed my first payment. at this point I don't know what to do.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I had my loans transferred to Nelnet from Great Lakes ( not by choice ) and the process has been incredibly frustrating. In XXXX I applied to be switched to the new SAVE plan. It took Nelnet months to deal with that request. On XX/XX/2023 I received a letter from Nelnet saying that because I had applied for the SAVE plan I had been taken off of my IDR plan and entered into a Standard Repayment plan, because I needed to make a one time payment in order to be considered to be switched to the SAVE plan. It looks like Nelnet then switched my auto debit amount to be {$5.00}. The letter Nelnet sent me was incredibly confusing and contradictory. It said I had requested to make a Reduced Payment Forbearance payment rather than a Standard Repayment one time payment, I didn't request anything in fact, but now my account shows Standard Repayment. The letter also said " The one-time Reduced Payment Forbearance payment amount you chose is BLANK. The payment is due on BLANK. '' leaving both the amount and due date blank. I have tried calling and the call center seems entirely shut off, I just get a robot saying " This party is not taking calls right now. '' I sent in an online support request on XX/XX/XXXX asking for clarification and on XX/XX/XXXX Nelnet responded to my email saying " You do need to complete exit counseling from Income Base Plan before we can start the processing for Save Plan. Unfortunately, you would need to speak to a specialist to follow through with the exit counseling, therefore you would need to call within the next 2 business days. They can be reached by calling XXXX. Your outstanding interest will capitalize and add to your principal balance. This may result in higher monthly payments once your account is in a repayment status. '' It is absolutely not true that I need to re-do exit counseling, this is incorrect information Nelnet provided me as a consumer. I called the Call Center immediately, waited on hold for over 3 hours and when I finally spoke to a representative she said I did not need to do any exit counseling, that my request to switch to SAVE was still processing ( months after it was made ), and that they would agree to put me in administrative forbearance ( as they should have originally without me requesting ). However, my account is still showing as " Standard Repayment, '' not SAVE and not an administrative forbearance. I have lost all faith that Nelnet is telling me the truth or managing my account properly.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that some of the information on my credit report was incorrect when I reviewed it. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the 3 credit bureaus to validate these accounts ( A ). It is not permissible to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the time frame specified by law. My credit report includes the following erroneous information that needs to be investigated and correct : XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00}

Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My loans were completely forgiven through the IDR adjustment on XX/XX/XXXX. MOHELA sent me a letter on this date to that effect, and both my MOHELA and studentaid.gov accounts show a {$0.00} balance as of that date. 

I filed disputes with all three credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX, as I was not seeing any movement of the {$260000.00} balance on my credit report and I am trying to buy a home in the near future. 

However on XX/XX/XXXX, I received notices from all three credit bureaus saying that MOHELA had affirmed the debt, the information had been verified, and my disputes were closed. 

I am dumbfounded. It has now been two months since my loans were forgiven, and theres no reason anyone at MOHELA should be telling anyone anywhere that I owe them XXXX, much less {$260000.00}. How can it be legal for a representative of the government to lie on its behalf?

YOU CAN NOT JUST DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT! I FOLLOWED YOUR STEPS TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE!!! I DONT DESERVE TO BE IGNORED!!! YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THESE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS!! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Your refusal to act in the face of substantial evidence undermines not only my financial well-being but also the trust that the American public has vested in credit reporting agencies like yours. It calls into question the very authority with which you operate and raises doubts about your commitment to upholding the standards of accuracy and fairness in the credit reporting system. 
I demand an immediate and transparent justification for your refusal to block these fraudulent accounts. Your reasons for denial must be clear, substantiated, and based on irrefutable logic. It is your responsibility to ensure the integrity of my credit report, and your refusal to take action is a clear dereliction of that duty.
