Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Aidvantage serviced my Direct Consolidation loan in 2023. It was transferred to XXXX on XX/XX/2023. Aidvantage has not had my loan in over a year. But the last update to the credit report from Aidvantage is XX/XX/2023. So the loan is still showing on my credit report. 
Ironically, XXXX has already processed my Public Service Loan forgiveness and the student loan has was forgiven months ago and XXXX has already updated the credit bureaus to show the loan forgiveness. 
So Aidvantage is not only showing a loan on my credit report that they transferred, they are showing a loan that doesn't even exist anymore.

Complaint narrative:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/year> to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not XXXX more. I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I requested a 1099C form from XXXX  XXXX in regards to a charged off account, I was sent the form that had the balance information reflecting the total amount of debt that was canceled. On this form however the amount that was written off does not reflect the same amount that is showing on my credit report. XXXX XXXX states {$1800.00} was the amount charged off, however on my credit report it is showing that the amount charged off was {$10.00}, XXXX. This is inaccurate and must be removed from my credit report ASAP, not only are the amounts different but when I went to dispute this with the credit bureau Equifax I noticed that the XXXXXXXX  XXXX account number and the account number written on the 1099C form are different. The account number that is on the 1099C form ends in XXXX and the account that is reflecting on my consumer report is XXXX. An investigation was opened with XXXX and as a result they confirmed the account is invalid without the proper 1099C form for the said account. So with that being said either XXXX XXXX did not send the correct 1099C form which makes this account invalid or they dont have the correct information which would make the reporting of this account fraudulent. This account is being reported in error and must be removed from my consumer report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
My credit card was locked when I tried to make a purchase. I called them and they said they unlocked it. Then, I tried the purchase again and they said their system didnt allow to send me a verification SMS, so they had to call me to verify my identity and proceed to unlock my card. After I got the call and verified my account they said they had unlocked my account again, but it was not true. When I called them yet once more, they now said the only way to verify my identity was to give them the number of ANY OTHER CREDIT CARD OF MINE! ( not with their bank ). I told them that this was a privacy violation and sounded like a scam, so they told me they wont unlock my account then. Ive tried calling them multiple times and now theyre saying that XXXX cant even close my account until I receive a letter on my physical address with a code, which according to them would take XXXX business day to arrive!

On Friday XX/XX/24 I attempted multiple times to add funds from my bank to my Venmo debit card. I kept getting errors. Then I received an email advising that there was an " issue '' and Venmo needed a copy of my ID and me holding my ID. I promptly provided a picture of my ID but advised I would not be including a photo of myself holding my ID. I didn't receive a response so I attempted to use the chat option. I was only told 10 to 15 business days. I asked for a manager and was told they would try to help in 72 hours. I then received an additional email asking for my most recent bank statement. I provided that and did not get a response. I reached back out via email and the response I received back advised another team needed to review and it would be another 10-15 business days. I replied back that I just need access to the funds in order to close the account and cancel the service. I haven't been able to get a response.
