Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I noticed some inaccuracies on my financial report and decided to contact the furnisher and the credit reporting agency in regard to my concerns. After I received no resolution, I filed a CFPB complaint # XXXX. Shortly after I filed such complaint, I find that I was attacked in retaliation for filing the complaint. This action taken caused my score to go down. I have had issues with being attacked by score manipulation for positively resolving accounts just to have my score drop from XXXX XXXX down to XXXX XXXX for information that was incorrectly reported from inception and could have never been verified because such investigation would have brought light to the facts associated with the account. The only remark added with my score decrease is that I disputed the false information reported. I have receipts that all accounts being reported have been resolved in full and I have endured damage to my reputation for years due to this companies ' willingness to mislead me with constant denial of due process and coercions to keep me financially burdened and to daily damage my name and standing.

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: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, EdFinancial cashed a XXXX dollar check I had sent them to pay off/be put towards XXXX loans. My first loan was from XXXX and amounted to XXXX. My second loan was from XXXX and amounted in {$13000.00}. I sent explicit instructions for the loan from XXXX to be paid off and then the rest of the amount to be applied to the loan from XXXX, ideally before interest restarted. Instead of doing this, EdFinancial applied the whole check to the first loan, which now has a balance of XXXX. Clearly this is not correct, and I have called EdFinancial at least XXXX times, sent them numerous emails, and attempted to use the chat with a representative function ( which has never worked ) in the last several weeks. None of these avenues have ever resulted in reaching a representative or being contacted back. At this point, I am not really sure what to do because I have wasted hours trying to get this resolved. EdFinacial has essentially stolen XXXX from me and is keeping it hostage somewhere without applying to my other loan. Any help in either getting this money sent back to me so I can write them another check or getting the money applied correctly would be more than appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Experian credit bureau questioning the accuracy of few items on my credit report as well as removing the fraud alert on my report. My request was put in writing. They have ceased investigation of my credit reports because in their opinion, they believe I have used a third party credit agency. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I have contacted Experian again stating that I believe they are using a stall tactic to gain additional 30 days to comply with my original request and they are delaying my request. They have breached and violated the FCRA. Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party. 

Since then - Experian have placed a fraud alert on my report and refusing to process any dispute requests I made. As a result, they are damaging my finances by blocking my ability to obtain new credit. 

The damage has impacted my life since last year until this moment. 

The items I disputed and my requests got ignored are as follow : 1 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$0.00} was never late and I requested that Experian correct this info on my credit report. 
2 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$6600.00} does not belong to me. I requested to be removed from my credit report. 
3 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$1700.00} does not belong to me. I requested to be removed from my credit report. 

I requested the above accounts to be investigated- however, Experian refused to process because they think those requests were not made my me. I also called them and verified my identity with them over the phone - and requested that the Fraud alert and the incorrect items to be removed my credit report - however, they refused to do so. 

In summary, I tried every way to resolve this but they either refuse to process my request or ignore. 

Attachments : 1 ) Demand letter # 1 to Experian 2 ) Demand letter # 2 to Experian 3 ) Screenshot of Experian responses refusing to process my disputes because they believe it is not me who wrote the dispute requests.
