Complaint narrative:
All old addresses and wrong names and inquiries need to be removed from all three credit agencies. The client 's credit letter must be uploaded when the complaint is made to show that the client 's dispute letter was sent out and that it is over 30 days. It's still reporting on the client 's credit report and needs to be removed immediately for inaccurate information. 



This letter is a formal complaint that you report inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 
I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to ensure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information, therefore, needs to be removed immediately. 
It has been over 60 days and has caused me great hardship, There are accounts that are reporting on my credit profile as open accounts on some credit agencies and in collections, on others, another wrong last reporting date due to inaccurate information across different platforms has caused me hard issues. 


1681. Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system depends on fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.

( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies I ask that these items be removed from my credit profile at once. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I called EdFinancial immediately after hearing about XXXX loan forgiveness. I saw that we were able to request a refund on any payments during the payment pause which started in 2020. I went ahead and asked for a refund, which I was taken aback, as they were giving me the time frame of 150 days ( 5 months ) for the refund to process. Throughout the pandemic, I have paid roughly $ XXXX in payments. 

It seems that EdFinancial is the only student loan provider, after consulting numerous students and alumni on their federal loans, that is providing this absurd time frame. XXXX, XXXX XXXX etc. are only quoting XXXX weeks of turnaround time. Its very concerning to know that unlike other student loan providers, EdFinancial seems to not have the best interest of our hearts by being the only provider that is dragging this on for 5 months. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me and many others. We would really appreciate if someone could investigate EdFinancials process and determine why their process, in comparison to other federal loan providers, are giving students in need, such as me, such a long time frame.

I sent letters out to all 3 credit bureaus regarding items on my credit report that are not accurate which is a FCRA violation and you must abide by the law. All information I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I am the one sending the letters and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair or 3rd party.

I just want these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I am trying to purchase a home soon and these negative items are holding my score back.
