Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the repeated attempts I have made to rectify the ongoing issue of late open account associated with my XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1400.00}. Despite my numerous efforts to resolve this matter, the problem remains unresolved, causing significant inconvenience and distress. 

I first noticed the late open account issue previously. Since then, I have diligently contacted your company 's customer service department to bring this matter to your attention. During these interactions, I have provided all the necessary documentation and information requested, yet the issue persists, and no concrete action has been taken to correct it. 

The late open account issue has had a negative impact on my financial stability and credit score. I have faced undue stress and financial setbacks as a result of this unresolved problem, which should have been addressed promptly and efficiently. I have made timely payments and fulfilled all obligations on my end, and it is disheartening to see that my efforts have not been reciprocated. 

I am formally requesting the following actions to be taken promptly : Immediate correction of the late open account on my credit report to accurately reflect my payment history and prevent any further damage to my credit score. 
A written confirmation of the resolution, including the date when the correction was made. 
An apology for the inconvenience and stress caused by the repeated failures to address this issue in a timely manner. 
I understand that mistakes can happen, but I believe it is only fair that your company takes responsibility for its errors and takes the necessary steps to rectify them. I trust that this matter will be resolved promptly, as it is in both of our interests to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. 

If my concerns are not addressed within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I may have no choice but to escalate this issue further by seeking legal assistance or contacting relevant regulatory authorities.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, My loan servicer is EDFinancial. I applied for the SAVE program first on XX/XX/2023. I was denied by my servicer because they needed tax information? I uploaded my information and submitted a new application on XX/XX/2023. In the Federal Student Aid website it tracks the progress of my application. According to the website my application review was completed by EDFinancial on XX/XX/2023. It says that my loan servicer will reach out to me regarding my application. They never did. I went into my account and there is no information regarding my application. Now I am late on my first payment because they never updated the information about my application. I tried calling three times and each time the wait was over 9 hours to speak to someone. I opted for a call back and they never did. I also reached out via their chat system and it said I had to speak to a representative. I sent an email to them as well and they haven't responded. I do not want my account to have a negative track record because of their lack of response. Others are struggling with this issue with this servicer as well. Please help! I need to know what to do.

Complaint narrative:
I originally took out a loan of credit for {$3500.00}. I didnt realize there were so many fees attached to every payment. I have had to advance more money to get back money to keep paying my bills so its become a vicious cycle. I have paid probably close to {$8000.00} in payments and I still owe almost {$3500.00}. Right now my payments are around {$200.00} biweekly with only about {$15.00} going to the actual lone. I live in NJ. This practice is definitely predatory and Im poor and I cant get ahead. I cant survive on nothing.

Complaint narrative:
I wish to express my concern and formally raise a complaint about an inaccurate 30-day late payment report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This incorrect reporting has adversely affected my credit score, and I am reaching out to the CFPB to help address and rectify this issue. 

Sequence of Events : XX/XX/XXXX : I initiated an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, encompassing a $ 10 monthly subscription and a {$200.00} credit line. I received confirmation that auto-pay would be in effect immediately upon account setup. 

XX/XX/XXXX : To ensure clarity, I engaged with XXXX 's support, who validated the activation of the auto-pay mechanism on my account. 

XX/XX/XXXX : Notably, while the auto-pay did cover the monthly subscription in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX it neglected to address the due payment for the credit line. It is essential to note that this was the sole instance of non-payment over a 12-month period. XXXX did not notify me or provide reasons for this omission. My bank records affirm the monthly subscription payment and show no debit attempts for the credit line. Despite available funds and XXXX 's terms stipulating repeated payment attempts in case of initial failure, no such efforts were made on their part. 

XX/XX/XXXX : A subsequent review of my credit revealed a decline of XXXX points, attributable to XXXX XXXX 30-day late payment report a report which conflicts with the auto-pay assurances given by XXXX 

Impact and Expected Resolution : This incorrect report shifted my credit category from " Good '' to " Fair '', compromising my financial credibility and opportunities. Such misinformation is not only concerning but also jeopardizes my long-term financial stability. 

In light of the above, I kindly request the CFPB to : Advocate for the removal of the incorrect 30-day late payment report on my credit file. 
Encourage XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  to assess and refine their auto-pay system, ensuring future reliability. 
Seek a formal written acknowledgment and apology from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the oversight and its potential implications. 
I have attached pertinent documents, including interactions with XXXX and the credit report indicating the error, for your consideration. 

Your efforts in aiding resolution and ensuring consumer rights remain safeguarded are greatly valued. I eagerly await a positive outcome.
