Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, Im submitting a formal complaint regarding my federal student loan account, currently serviced by EdFinancial Services. Ive encountered serious issues involving inaccurate reporting, forbearance mismanagement, and a potential violation of my privacy and FERPA rights. 

1. Inaccurate Credit Reporting EdFinancial is inaccurately reporting that I am 90 days past due on my loan. I have never received a billing statement, notice, or letter informing me of any missed payment or delinquency. This is damaging to my credit and was done without any prior communication.

2. Forbearance Not Acknowledged My student loans are currently in forbearance, so no payments should be considered past due. Despite this, EdFinancial is still reporting my account as delinquent and refuses to correct the records. 

XXXX. Refusal to Correct or Take Responsibility When I reached out directly, EdFinancial informed me that it is not their job to update credit information, stating that it's up to the credit bureaus. This is incorrect. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), they are responsible for correcting any inaccurate data they report.

4. Privacy Violation Incorrect Mailing Address EdFinancial is sending sensitive loan correspondence to an incorrect mailing address. I have attached the most recent letter they sent to the wrong address. As a result, unauthorized individuals could access my personal and financial information, which is a serious privacy issue. This may also constitute a FERPA violation, as my educational loan information has been exposed.
