Consumer complaint received 2022-03-25 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I was laid off from my job. I contacted my servicer at the time re : lower payment options during this time. Although I would have been eligible for a low or even {$0.00} payment, I was instead steered towards periods of forbearance/deferral from XXXX of XXXX. I was not made aware that any payment I did happen to make during that time would not be a qualifying payment under the PSLF program which is very important when you are striving for the goal of 120 payments. Luckily, I was able to secure new, PSLF eligible employment and started that job in XXXX of XXXX ( this employment time frame has been certified ). I have proof of payments made from XXXX XXXX and have attempted to submit them to Fed Loan Servicing and student aid.gov. I'm worried that not getting the payment status during that time period changed will prolong my forgiveness via the PSLF program. I have had the correct type of loans and repayment plans for many years prior to the waiver introduced in XX/XX/XXXX. It is very difficult to see people, that just applied to the PSLF program 2 months ago, get their loans forgiven while people like myself have had our ducks in a row for many years. I should note that when I first transferred my loans to Fed Loan servicing it literally took them more than a YEAR, to update my payment counts. That brings up high levels of frustration with my former servicer XXXX XXXX. It is my understanding that they failed to keep accurate payment records and continually steered people to periods of forbearance vs offering an income based payment. 
Currently, trying to call and speak with a Fed loan representative is a nightmare and very difficult if one does not have 2-3 hours to wait on hold. I believe that I should be at or very close to the required 120 payments and getting the payment status changed for the above dates would be helpful in me reaching my goal.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I notified American Express over the phone that I was a victim of identity theft and there was an unauthorized transaction on my credit card statement. I was instructed to submit a written statement by fax, which I did, and call back to initiate a fraud claim. I contacted the Fraud Department on XX/XX/XXXX to ensure they had received my paperwork and to initiate a fraud claim. I spoke to XXXX in the Fraud Department, and he confirmed that they had received the documents, initiated a fraud claim, and provided me with Case Number : XXXX. He stated that a credit will be applied in 14 days. I did not receive my credit so I called for an update, and I was told that I would have a resolution by XX/XX/XXXX. When I called for an update, they stated that the case has been resolved on behalf of myself, that they removed the charge, and that a credit will be applied. I called again XX/XX/XXXX when the credit still had not been applied and they stated that they were going to reopen the case, would have final resolution by XX/XX/XXXX, and that someone will call me in 48 hours with an update. No one called. 
XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to them again and they ensured me that I would have a resolution by XX/XX/XXXX and that someone would call me with an update in 48 hours. No one called. 
As a loyal customer and victim of identity theft, I feel that I am being treated unfairly by American Express and its employees. For three months I have been instructed to give them more time and promised final resolution dates that they never follow through with. They already resolved the case and granted the claim on my behalf but keep pushing me off when I am asking for my credit to be applied.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I exercised my rights as a consumer to request all documents related to an account reporting on my consumer report. I did not ask for a re investigation i asked for a method was used to determine what was being reported .I specifically asked to see copies of the documents Transunion is harboring to produce such results on my report. Instead of getting the documentation that I asked for I was denied for a reinvestigation. Again, I did not request a re investigation I requested copies of the documents showing where they had the right to report. This clear disregard is an indicator that they are truly not doing there job but instead using automated stall tactics as a way to cover the tracks of wrong doings. Consumer reports should not be handled in such a manner as they effect people 's livelihoods. Attached is copies of what was set to Transunion with guidelines on exactly what I wanted. They received this info and still chose to ignore my request and now I am exercising right right to demand that they either produce the documents that they have on file or correct my report and delete invalid info. This is a clear violation and Transunion is now liable for damages up to {$1000.00} and I will not hesitate to take further steps in order to ensure fair and accurate reporting.
