Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
So I have two loans. 
One to repay XXXXXXXX XXXX for a check they lost and another for the last XXXX XXXX. To avoid issue, I asked my financial aid advsior to fill out my paperwork. She either accidentally or on purpose, chose the option for interest repayment in school. I thought everything was fine. Well, in XXXX, I get a notification that I have a payment due. I was not entirely sure why, so I called. They explained it to me, I told them I didnt fill out my own form so maybe they need to reverse the decision or get into touch with the school. Well, that never happened. They put me in a repayment program and moved on. I called at least once or twice a month since then to get an update on the investigation. However, when I called back I received a different answer everytime. The final time I called was on XXXX XXXX when a representative told me she would follow up with me that following Monday. That following Monday came and she did not call back. I gave it a week and she didnt call. So I assumed she was busy and she would get back to me within 2 weeks. Well, 2 weeks turned into 2 months. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, so time slipped from me. Now, they are telling me I owe {$480.00} and theres nothing they can do about repayment options or fixing anything. Even though THEY were the ones who did not call me back. Today, I was on the phone with several different agents. XXXX had consistent answers. At this point, I just want to refinance or something. Sallie Mae should be held responsible for their inconsistent, unprofessional business practices.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Here is the personal information that I never consented to or provided written consent to report : List all personal information want deleted :.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I requested verification about account, " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account # XXXX ) " from Transunion credit reporting agency. 

They instead of sending me verification they sent me a letter stating that it was valid. 

on XX/XX/year> i requested it again and 30 days came and went and again they ignored my request to know the method of verification. 

Then in XXXX I filled a previous complaint with the cfpb and included all of my identification with the complaint if you look at that you will see, there response was to ask for the proof of identity that I already submitted with that complaint, because they are trying not to provide evidence that they did not follow the law. 

XXXX and XXXX has found this account to be fraudulent, so I am unsure how Transunion is verifying the same debt because XXXX XXXX compliance says that reporting should be accurate and consistent across all reporting agencies. 

3 times they have failed to provide me with the method of verification within 30 days
