Both accounts are reporting under " Negative Information '' and have severely and negatively impacted my credit reports.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I graduated from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and have had the displeasure of having loans with XXXX XXXX. 

First, it is impossible to make any kind of instant one-time payment without incurring a fee for making an additional payment, regardless of payment format. You CAN send a check in, but that will not reflect the interest charged during transit and before review. 

So, if I want to pay off my loan early, I have to modify my recurring payment and wait until the auto-payment day comes. But heres where the real headache comes in. After spending 45 minutes on hold both on the phone and via their online chat, XXXX told me that they could not provide me with a full payoff amount. Thus, by the time my recurring loan payment goes through on, say, 15 days later, it will not be enough because of the 15 days of interest. But wait, theres more. XXXX will NOT let you set up a recurring payment for more than you owe on the day you set up the payment. 

What does this mean for me? On XX/XX/XXXX, I wanted to pay off my entire {$3500.00} loan, so I set up a recurring payment for the next available date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I was only able to set it up for {$3500.00} because that was the amount I owed on XX/XX/XXXX. Of course, today, XX/XX/XXXX, the amount I now owe is about {$3500.00}. So now I owe {$50.00} which will continue to accumulate interest. I can keep my recurring payment of {$3500.00} set up, which will take care of that {$50.00}, but then I have to wait 6-8 weeks before XXXX cuts me a check for my {$3400.00} overpayment. Well thats not going to work, so I modify the auto payment once again for {$50.00}. Of course by the time the auto payment kicks in I really owe {$55.00}, so now I need to await for another auto payment ( and further accumulation or interest ) before the full amount is paid off. 

So, rather than pay off everything on XX/XX/XXXX, Im now forced to wait until sometime in XX/XX/XXXX just to pay off my XXXX loan. This is a terrible way to run a loan servicer and, frankly, I question whether it is legal to force borrowers to incur interest or a one-time-fee. It is literally impossible to avoid. 

All I want to do is pay off my loan. Right now. And I cant do that. This seems highly unethical. 

And to be clear, I am not the only one who has serious complaints about this company. Its online review pages are nearly unanimously terrible, and its public communication with borrowers is nonexistent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian is preventing me from submitting a dispute regarding the following accounts : Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX University I am attaching supporting documentation to have these accounts three accounts reinvestigated. 
Experian will not provide documentation regarding verifying public records. They've provided several generic statements regarding verifying through 3rd party companies, but will not identify the name of the company. I have verified with the court that they do not and can not verify anything with you. Their written response is attached. I have verified with XXXX XXXX that my file is suppressed " blocked out '' therefore they have not verified with you. The opt out letter is attached. Under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly delete all information which can not be verified. 

As it relates to XXXX XXXX, you are only to report 7 years from date of first delinquency. This account was delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX, therefore, this account should have been deleted in XX/XX/XXXX. A statement of account letter is attached which documents date of first delinquency. That is inaccurate reporting on your part and this account needs to be deleted. 

As it relates to XXXX XXXX University, I have requested validation from XXXX and they have not provided an account with my signature. Therefore this account should be deleted. You allowed XXXX XXXX University to report the account as a collection account in XX/XX/XXXX and  Closed in XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX sent Statement of account showing payment in XX/XX/XXXX.  That is inaccurate reporting on your part and this account needs to be deleted. 

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for " negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully plan on pursuing litigation in this manner to enforce my rights under FCRA. 
I demand the following accounts be deleted immediately. I look forward to receiving an updated report reflecting the corrections.
