Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15
U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Servicer under contract with Federal Student Aid
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from the Department of Ed. on XX/XX/XXXX stating that my loans were going into repayment status. I was surprised because my FFELP loans were consolidated and the consolidated and direct loans equaling over {$90000.00} were forgiven through PSLF in XX/XX/XXXX. From XX/XX/XXXX until now, my Federal Student Aid ( FSA ) and servicer accounts showed a {$0.00} balance. I have not been in school since XXXX and have not taken out any new loans. I checked the current servicer, XXXX and my account correctly shows a {$0.00} balance. I checked my credit reports and they correctly reflect that these loans were closed and paid in full. My Studentaid.gov website account incorrectly states that I have over {$38000.00} in loans in repayment status. I chatted with someone on the FSA website on XX/XX/XXXX and was told to email. I emailed FSA and received a response with incorrect information that my FFELP loans were not consolidated and that they are in repayment. I was directed to contact the servicer, XXXX. I called Dept. of Ed to clarify and spoke for XXXX minutes with someone until the phone call was disconnected for unknown reasons. The same incorrect information was given to me and I was instructed to reach out to XXXX, even though XXXX correctly shows that the loans have been paid off and there is a {$0.00} balance. Hypothetically, if these loans really were active, there would be no way for me to pay them since XXXX shows a {$0.00} balance. I am being asked by FSA to contact XXXX and see if they need to update my account to reflect the {$38000.00} in loans. I do not know what else I can do to have the incorrect information removed from the Federal Student Aid website and ensure that this mistake does not get reported to the credit reporting agencies.
