'' I've did exactly as the requested by was still wrongful denied.

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/year>, I have been attempting to secure a military deferment for my federal student loans serviced by EdFinancial, in compliance with federal protections granted to active-duty military members. I am currently deployed in the XXXX Area of Responsibility ( AOR ) with the Michigan National Guard, actively supporting combat operations aimed at defeating ISIS and deterring XXXX. Despite numerous deferment approval notices from EdFinancial ( dated XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year> ), they have repeatedly violated federal laws by continuing to issue billing statements, demands for payment, and have refused to acknowledge my deferment status. 

I initially submitted my deferment request in XX/XX/year>, along with all necessary supporting documents, including my military orders. On multiple occasions between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, EdFinancial acknowledged receipt of these documents and issued deferment approvals for different periods, indicating that my loans were placed in Military Deferment or Military Grace status. Despite this, EdFinancial continued to send billing statements, including demands for a payment of {$370.00} due on XX/XX/year>, which clearly contradicts the deferment status I had been granted. 

Between XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>, I engaged in multiple email exchanges with EdFinancial, attempting to resolve this issue. During these exchanges, I re-submitted deferment documentation, received confirmation of document receipt, yet faced repeated responses that they were unable to access the information. On XX/XX/year>, I sent an urgent email to EdFinancial, citing potential violations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) and the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students ( HEROES ) Act. On XX/XX/year>, EdFinancial responded, acknowledging that my account was under review but failed to provide a resolution. 

Throughout this process, EdFinancial has exhibited a blatant disregard for the protections granted to service members under federal law, specifically the SCRA, HEROES Act, and 34 CFR 682.210. Their actions have caused immense emotional and financial stress while I am deployed in a combat zone, attempting to fulfill my duties. Despite providing all necessary documentation and receiving official deferment approvals, EdFinancial 's non-compliance continues to impact my financial stability and focus during this critical period of military service.
