On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet.

I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX account being advertised on my consumer report. I initiated this transaction using my " credit card '' and my privacy is being violated. I was made to believe that it was mandatory for the furnishing of this charge-off. I have come into information that leads to believe this is false and predatory. Fair Credit Reporting Act does not even define a charge-off. The financial institutions and credit reporting agencies have colluded to infringe on my rights by monopolizing my personal information. I was never given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and nor was given an explanation of how I can exercise that nondisclosure option. Subsequently, I have been charged excessive interest as a result of the lower credit rating following this. 

I am citing that XXXX XXXX is in violation of Title 15 of the United States Commercial Code Chapter 94 subsection 6802 [ B ] [ C ]. I am aware of the civil penalties associated with these violations. 

I have made a report with the Federal Trade Commission on XX/XX/2022 in the same manner and with the same power and authority as the Commission has under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act [ 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. ] engaging them to enforce compliance with such Act.

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. Take a look at the inquiries and verify the dates and the names of the creditors. I think this may be a mistake and if what I assume is right then I believe you should delete these from my credit report. I highly request that you take the time to check and verify them since I never remember that I have authorized anyone about these inquiries. Kindly remove these inquiries if no proof can be provided.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On Friday, XXXX XXXX, I called my servicer, EdFinancial and requested a refund for payments made since XX/XX/2020 ( during the COVID-19 pandemic pause ) as Federal Student Aid resources including EdFinancials site said I was entitled to since I paid during the pandemic. The refund was in the amount of {$4000.00} ( which would bring my loan balance back up to $ XXXX. ) XXXX this refund request process has been an option for years, I was told that the refund, however, would take more than 6 months to be sent to me. After hearing that other XXXX borrowers called but found out the requests werent filed properly, I tried contacting them by phone and email the following Wednesday and have not heard back and had issues getting through on the phone lines. When I tweeted them, the reps on XXXX claimed they had no details on the loan discharge program which wasnt what I was asking about and clearly a scripted answer. When looking at tweets from them and information on their sites/public information, there isnt a clear explanation of why theyre taking so long to deliver back my money when other servicers are easily doing it for other federal borrowers in a matter of months. 

When I look at my account and in my email inbox, theres zero record of the request or confirmation of it and my balance is still showing what it was before I called to ask for the refund. However, Ive heard many others with XXXX who were also told the payment would take 6+ months have started to see the refunded balance on their accounts and gotten proof of refund processing. I have also heard that servicers are processing these in a much shorter time, so XXXX handling of this and refusal to add this transparent information/confirmations to my account and the accounts of other borrowers is very suspicious, even during the high service volume times.
