Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I made lump repayment ( {$10000.00} ) to my student loans during the pandemic. The government announced that any payments made during that time could be refunded by loan servicers. My husband is unemployed and our financial situation has drastically changed. I have made multiple requests to EdFinancial for a refund. I sent several emails through their website and chat feature. I have spent 3.5 hours on hold waiting to check the status of this with representatives. I have reached back out over chat multiple times. Everyone I have spoken to recently has said that they see the " first request '' as being made in XX/XX/2023, with the cutoff being in XXXX. This was not my first request. I am requesting this refund so that I am able to change over to the SAVE program and begin making regular payments. This is not something I'm financially equipped to do without this refund. There were multiple times throughout the forgiveness period when I called and was given a message that they were overloaded and that I would be called back, but this call never came. There were also multiple emails sent where I received no follow-up or email confirmation. It's impossible for me to know if this was due to their negligence or a technical issue with their system constantly being overloaded. At this point, it feels as though they are purposefully refusing to issue this refund in order to benefit from additional funds from me which I simply do not have. It is imperative that I'm issued the refund which I have every right to in order to get financially on track and participate in the SAVE initiative.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was recently gifted {$120.00} American Express gift card. Based on the site, it says you should be able to use the gift card at any retailer that accepts XXXX, and to just add the credentials in like a regular credit card and it should work. However, after my any attempts on multiple websites, transactions continually got declined. I made sure to follow the instructions and was trying to make purchases that were lower than the gift card amount. On XX/XX/2024, I contacted American Express Customer service who turned out to be incredibly unhelpful. Not only was I on hold for 3 HOURS - when I finally did get connected they claimed the failed transactions were for my protection. The card was declined at major retailers such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX, for fraud protection.Their only solution they provided was to try other shops... ridiculous.

Complaint narrative:
I sent disputes to Transunion Consumer Solution last year multiple times. I have been disputing this for a very long time now, but the credit reporting agencies fail to provide me with the description or method on how they verified this account. They are reporting items on my credit report that are not 100 % accurate. The information that they are reporting is defaming my character and these allegations have effected my life. I can not get approved for a home loan, credit cards nor a car loan due to the false information. 

This is the account that is not reporting accurate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This company continues to send notices of debt when I have disputed the validitity of the debt via the validation of debt letter upon first notice. The company has previously stated they will no longer contact me but they sent two dunning notices to my mailing address dated XX/XX/2023 after they had a cease and desist letter on file they posted in a response to you prior. ( See attached letters ) This company also put a collection account on my personal credit history after in fact they knew it was in dispute and they collection account does not state DISPUTE- which is a violation of the FDCPA. 

I called their office XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a rep who said she was in management and she tried to tell me to pay for the debt after repeatedely telling her I want to speak to someone who can stop the billing notices after all this was in a cease and desist mode. 

They are clearly violating the law and I intend on filing harassment and illegal collection tactics against them.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB, FTC and my Attorney General.

Complaint narrative:
An account with Chime was opened without my consent. The account was created using my email address and phone number. I was able to change the password and login where I noticed the address was old ( have not lived there for many years ). I called Chime and had the account closed, but it makes no sense to me why someone would open/access an account which requires verification that will only be sent to me ( phone and email ). I did confirm with Chime that my social security number is needed in order to open the account.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding the negative impact on my credit standing. This issue arose as a result of following the advice of a debt consolidation company, specifically the representatives of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Upon seeking assistance from the debt consolidation company, I was advised not to make monthly credit card payments with the intention of allowing these accounts to close. The subsequent closure of these accounts has resulted in a significant decline in my credit scores. Furthermore, reputable financial institutions such as XXXX now have records of me being 90 days or more past due, despite my prior good standing. 

I would like to emphasize that prior to following the advice of the debt consolidation company, my credit accounts were in good standing, and I had a responsible track record of timely payments. The impact of this advice on my credit standing has been distressing and has caused significant inconvenience and concern. 

I have documentation and correspondence from the debt consolidation company, including details of the advice provided and the intended resolution through settlement with lower numbers on these accounts. I believe that this evidence supports my case and underscores the impact of the advice I received. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and make the necessary corrections to my credit report. I am committed to resolving this issue and restoring my credit standing to its previous favorable status. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am available to provide any additional information or documentation as required. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I have every right to challenge any inaccuracies in a manner that is compliant with federal law when they are negatively affecting me financially because of their accuracy or completeness.This is just an allegation. There is no proof that I am delinquent or derogatory, so how can you report this? With all due respect, the claims within my report are wrong! You have to follow proper procedures if these claims are in your system and to be used in my credit reports! I challenge the accuracy and fairness of your findings by demanding evidence before you make any claims and take such drastic measures against my reputation.I know that you can't just decide which rules apply to your organization, so I won't let anyone report any false claims. It is important to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format- this is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as Metro 2 standards. For any negative account, I demand documentation/proof proving why your company considers it delinquent or derogatory.

Complaint narrative:
I just got my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and noticed some Accounts on my credit report are incomplete and inaccurate which is a violation of 15 USC 1681e ( b ). 

They also violated 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) & ( b ), 15 USC 16811 ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ). At this point I believe they are doing this on purpose. According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

They must be blind because everything is inconsistent.
