Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: The Bureaus, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/year> The bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Removal of Charge-Off Account # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account # XXXX I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading. 
I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 
Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I have not given this company any authorization to contact me or have any of my personal ( non public ) information. Please provide the following information to validate the debt : XXXX. The original creditor 's name and contact information. XXXX. A copy of the original signed contract or agreement related to the debt. XXXX.

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

Complaint narrative:
I took out Federal Loans through XXXX XXXX XXXX for my XXXX terms from XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I had paid off my account entirely in XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Sometime between XXXX, my zero balance account was transferred to EdFinancial Services XXXX Beginning in XX/XX/XXXX EdFinancial began calling and mailing me asking me to pay off a remaining balance of almost {$15000.00}, which was equivalent to the full amount that I had paid off in XXXX to close out my account. 

After months of trying to reach EdFinancial Services ' finance department, I was told that it was because there was supposedly a refund check mailed to me XX/XX/XXXX for all student loan payments made during the COVID-19 student loan forbearance issued by the Biden administration . I had NEVER received this check nor had cashed it in. 

I contacted the Department of Treasury who sent a copy of the check that was addressed to me but cashed in with a forged signature and name on XX/XX/XXXX to EdFinancial Services. The check number is XXXX. EdFinancial Services agreed that the check was stolen and that it was because of this that the balance was showing as still overdue in my account, despite receiving bank statements from me verifying that I had FULLY paid off ALL my student loans in XXXX. 

It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I am still dealing with a lack of response or action on EdFinancial Services ' end. They have received the check copy and proof from Department of Treasury that my refund check was stolen and cashed in and that I am not responsible for the remaining balance. They have agreed that my account should be reset to zero. However I have been consistently pushed around by the entire customer service team that their finance department is backed up and still needs more information that I no longer have to give because my original account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was closed out YEARS before being transferred to EdFinancial Services. 

Please help. I should not be penalized nor should I have to continue dealing with this institution 's high level of unprofessionalism and inaction for a balance that I paid off ENTIRELY XXXX XXXX ago and on time to an issuer that no longer is active. Nor should I have to pay again for a refund check that was mailed to me in an insecure method without my knowledge, cashed in without my knowledge. 

I am NOT interested in receiving a reissued refund check from the Department of Treasury. 

I would like my account balance at EdFinancial Services to be cleared to ZERO as it was originally and to NO LONGER be pursued for the loan amounts I had fully paid off.
