Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX after receiving the news of Bidens Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in 2020. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I was a pell grant recipient and am therefore eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I made payments totaling {$4000.00}. 

It seems as though edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until XXXX at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in XXXX. 

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter to the courthouse asking if they report bankruptcy information to the credit bureaus. I received a letter from the courthouse stating that they do not report bankruptcy information to anyone. So how did the credit reporting companies verify my bankruptcy as 100 % accurate? They never did a fair investigation as stated by law 15 U.S.C 1681. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 603 ( E ) ( 3 ) States ; " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer character. general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he/she is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such item of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

They violated my rights on numerous occasions. 

Credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 U.S.C 1681. According to 15 U.S.C.1681 Section 602 A States I have a right to privacy. 

According to 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A States a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 

According to 15U.S.C 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA Experian and XXXX are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute item does not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove the account. XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} If Experian and XXXX feel there is a possibility the account belongs to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If Experian and XXXX do not provide any records & claim the account is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Again, I was going through my records & noticed the account which does not belong to me STILL reposting on my file in Equifax. The other bureaus have already DELETED this fraudulent information so my question is why do you still report this damaging record? I have already disputed this account several times and stated that I am an identity theft victim. I even forwarded my FTC report I filed online on their website along with my personal information and documents but still, you chose to continue reporting this account. Credit Bureaus are bound to comply with the FCRA regulation section 605b but you never cared nor paid any attention to my Disputes. You became negligent of the FCRA law and continued reporting this information on my Credit File without Proper Verification or Investigation. Now, I want you to REMOVE this account from my file like the other bureaus have done.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this CFPB Complaint to follow up the previous CFPB complaint I submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting that the Credit Bureaus remove the disputed accounts and information from my Credit File. On XX/XX/XXXX, I also sent a dispute letter to the credit bureaus asking them to delete the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$3200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$2400.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Date XXXX Original Balance {$2900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Date Assigned XX/XX/XXXX Original Balance {$570.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Original Balance {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Assigned XX/XX/XXXX Original Balance {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Original Balance {$1500.00} ; that are UNKNOWN to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) requires the credit reporting agencies to delete all accounts and information no later than four business days following XX/XX/XXXX, according to the statute that I just learned about. This is something I've already mentioned in my complaints # XXXX, # XXXX, and # XXXX and is something I'm mentioning once more. If the Credit Bureaus assert that the disputed things belong to me, kindly send me copies of any documentation that establish my ownership of the disputed items or that include my signature. The items in my credit file should be immediately removed if I don't receive them.

Complaint narrative:
This collection of over {$2300.00} showed up randomly on my credit in late XXXX or early XXXX. Looking into it I discovered it was for a place called XXXX XXXX XXXX for couples to travel the world. I was extremely shocked plus confused because I have never heard of it before. 

On top of that, I have never had my passport and have only ever traveled between XXXX and my home state of XXXX which does not have a place called XXXX XXXX XXXX. Looking into this more I found out that they had a scanned copy of a Driver 's License that was lost back in XXXX. The signature on the paper did not even match my signature. 

This company used a stolen Driver 's License and forged my Signature for a travel program I don't even qualify for or live nearby. I have disputed this in detail in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX both over the phone, by letter, and through XXXX. I have also provided them Identity Theft reference numbers regarding the stolen ID and forged signature. Yet they still will not drop this collection that is clearly fraudulent. 

I don't even know what type of collection this is because it isn't for healthcare, it isn't for a car or a house. Not a personal loan, it just looks like someone used my information to skip town and now I have to foot the bill for it. The whole thing is frustrating and their website even looks fraudulent. How can a company do this? And if they are a legitimate company, why are they accepting forged signatures and ID 's not even from their state? Do they even interview people to see the person who signed up is clearly not the person in the picture?
