Complaint narrative:
Yet again I tried to access my account. It wouldn't let me sign in. I used their verification process entering my social security twice and my last name. It wouldn't process the information and kept clearing the screen and not continuing. Tried chat and they did nothing. Transunion continually locks me and others out and refuses to let us get our credit reports on a regular basis. The one time I got in they had weird stuff on my account which I reported and nothing was done about. I am attaching a copy of it and request that you stop them from continually locking people out for no reason, and then when they enter their information as verification refuse to process it.

The initial concern was about inaccuracies I found on my credit report. Equifax has continued to not investigate nor protect my private information. Equifax has still not provided any document from me nor verified from me that any account was accurate though I am in possession of the original contract. Equifax has admittingly caused me harm and instead of ceasing all inappropriate behavior Equifax has decided to continue this harassment despite the account being paid in full and despite documents to substantiate my claim are in the company 's possession.

I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be.

available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters.

from a consumer. If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action against you.

Complaint narrative:
I became XXXX due to a grade XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2022. I have tried to get this loan discharged through the " Total XXXX Discharge '' process, which has been a nightmare. For comparison, i have done the same process through XXXX which has been approved and was painless. XXXX XXXX XXXX and Citizen have refused to help me get this processed and have now told me I'm out of luck, even though I can not work and have a XX/XX/XXXX. Because my SSI review is in 3 years and not 5-7 they have closed the door on any hope of this getting discharged, but SSI says this is normal for someone my age to be rechecked in 3 years regardless of it being XX/XX/XXXX. 

Most lenders will have a back up option where a doctor will fill out a form explaining more about the diagnosis and what to expect, etc.. not Citizen. They truly do not care.
