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

Complaint narrative:
Edfinancial offers a slightly lowered interest rate on student loans if the account is enrolled in autopay. this encourages you to enroll to receive the benefit. 

Unfortunately their auto pay system does not function properly and never withdraws the payment from your linked account. This causes late fees to be charged and potential harm to a consumer 's credit through no fault of their own. 

I myself enrolled into auto pay for my student loan to the amount of XXXX starting in XX/XX/2023. When I logged into my student loan account to check it in late XXXX of 2023, I realized I had a past due balance of XXXX since the previous month 's payment was never actually taken out. I had to manually submit a payment to get this account brought current. I have multiple email confirmations of me setting up auto pay but it still does not function correctly.

Complaint narrative:
As a victim of identity theft, I am distressed by the refusal to block these fraudulent entries without a clear justification. It is disheartening to note that Experian seems to be disregarding my rights as a consumer and failing to comply with the law, unlike other credit reporting agencies that have diligently addressed similar issues. 
I am questioning your authority for such decision without valid verification. I am questioning WHAT ENTITLED DO YOU UPHOLD THAT YOU THINK DECLINING THE REQUEST WITHOUT PROPER EXPLAINATION WAS JUST LIKE AS WHAT YOU LIKE TO DECIDE? IF YOU CANT ENLIGHTEN ME WITH VALID EXPLAINATION ATLEAST REMOVE THESE ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY!! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX  XXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and provide consumers with a detailed explanation of any adverse action taken. Unfortunately, Experian has failed to meet these legal obligations. I insist on your immediate attention to this matter and request that you rectify the situation by promptly blocking the fraudulent accounts from my credit report. I also expect you to provide a detailed explanation for the initial rejection of my request, as required by law.
