Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing this letter in regards to payments made on my federal student loans which should qualify under the public service loan forgiveness program. 

From XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX I was in repayment which was the income based repayment plan. On XX/XX/XXXX it states that I was in forbearance, but then was placed back in repayment which again would ( or should ) have been the income based repayment plan on XX/XX/XXXX. This continued through XX/XX/XXXX. All loans should have been on income based  repayment from XXXX. Due to low  income at the time this generated a monthly balance of {$0.00} during this time. There were no changes in loans or employment during this time period and so these loans should have remained under the same umbrella of the income based repayment plan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the loans were placed in forbearance when all student  loans were placed in forbearance due to the pandemic. From XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX documentation has been submitted for a qualifying employer and these dates continue to state that they were ineligible under the public service loan forgiveness program. 

The months from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX I did not receive a W-2 from a 501c3 organization, but did all of my work for a 501c3 organization. I understand this may disqualify those months, however, due to the pandemic and significant need for health care workers during that time it would seem that if work was being done at a qualifying institution and performing qualifying duties that these months should qualify as well. 

I have contacted the FedLoans program several times over the past six months regarding these issues and have not seen any of this information updated to reflect the above changes. I have included some information below, but please let me know if more detailed information is needed. 

While the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program was not in effect until XXXX, I have been committed to working for non-profit organizations and have been passionate and committed to serving the underserved populations since the year XXXX. It is my hope that the above can be corrected in a timely fashion and that the time I have served be recognized appropriately. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: U.S. BANCORP

Complaint narrative:
I'm filing a complaint regarding an auto loan payoff with US Bank, specifically surrounding the lack of communication, the inconsistent information provided by US Bank reps, and the timeframe it has taken to close out my account and obtain a lien release. 

On XX/XX/2021, I called US Bank to inquire about my auto loan payoff as I needed to sell my vehicle. The rep I spoke to informed me it would take up to XXXX business days to process the lien release after payoff. I proceeded to pay off the loan on XX/XX/2021. 

After not receiving the lien release nor hearing anything from US Bank, I called on XX/XX/2021 ( XXXX business days after payoff ) for a status update. I was now informed that my loan account was still open and the lien release wouldn't be processed until account closure, which the rep informed me would occur on XX/XX/2021, the date of my statement closure. From then, I was told it would be another XXXX business days for the lien release to process, information that was inconsistent from what the 1st rep I spoke to. 

Today, on XX/XX/2021, upon checking my account online, I no longer had access to my monthly statements. I again called US Bank to inquire about the missing statements and for the payoff status. The rep I spoke to, XXXX, explained the account just closed on XX/XX/2021, and that it would now take XXXX business days for the lien release to be processed, not including mailing time. She indicated the timeframe for payoffs is XXXX business days from the time of payment ( XXXX business days to process payment XXXX business days to close the account + XXXX business days to process lien release XXXX mail time ). 

I am beyond frustrated with US Bank, and being unable to sell my car despite paying off my loan over XXXX weeks ago. See below for my questions : 1. Why did I receive XXXX different responses from the XXXX different reps I spoke to? 
2. Why does it take XXXX calendar weeks to process an auto loan payoff when other lenders do so in less than half the time? 
3. Why are all my loan statements no longer available on my online account? 
4. Why have I not received any communication, written or verbal, from US Bank confirming my payoff or providing a timeframe on the lien release?

My request for the correction and removable of the erroneous information about my inquiry has been diligently neglected by TransUnion. Despite sending them the complaint, dated XX/XX/2021, for the said request, I have not received any response up to this date. Besides, the inaccurate information about my inquiry is still on my reports. Therefore, TransUnion has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time permitted by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Below is the inquiry that is still reporting on my account and needs to be REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM MY CREDIT REPORT :

They told me this would be investigated and sent me a new card. However, in the subsequent weeks, I have noticed that the charges were never removed and I never received any notification of their investigation. I contacted them several times to find out the status ( on dates : XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. Finally today, XX/XX/2021 they send me a form saying I have XXXX days to complete it. Within the form they sent is a section where I am to contact XXXX ( however you do that ) and basically investigate the issue myself. I have NEVER had a credit card company operate this way when I customer is notifying them of fraudulent activity.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am creating a new complaint as a follow up to complaint ID XXXX that was closed without a resolution. Essentially, Equifax has claimed that my credit file does not exist in their system, despite verifying with all my lenders that they have been sending my credit history to all XXXX credit bureaus, including Equifax, with the correct information. 

I have now contacted Equifax for the XXXX time, previously faxing XXXX pieces of documentation to verify my identity -- A passport, W-2 ( which includes the SSN # ), a utility bill with my current address ( XXXX  internet bill ), as well as a recent bank statement that includes my current address -- and have been turned away saying that this does not match their records. This time they told me to return their response letter with documentation verifying my identity and current address. 

Once again, I am receiving credit reports from XXXX and XXXX with no issues, but not Equifax despite having a significant credit history. 

I have mailed XXXX pieces of documentation as requested ( XX/XX/21 ), my latest paystub with my full name, current address and SSN, as well as a copy of my driver 's license with my full name and current address. I am applying for a home mortgage and this blank credit report from Equifax is preventing me from doing so. This is the last time I intend on sending documentation to get this resolved before I'm forced to take legal action against Equifax.

Complaint narrative:
The Natural person and consumer is the only true creditor as I can create the debt per federal law along with other laws that can easily be researched after the BANKRUPTCY of the U.S in XXXXSo when filling out a consumer credit transaction it means that I had to use my " card '' aka my social security card aka my social security number to extended myself credit. So how is it a benefit to me, the natural person, to pay on something I issued? u XXXX XXXX XXXX  are willfully and knowingly committing fraud. 

This is a violation of my consumer rights because congress says the use of a credit card by a person other than the cardholder who does NOT have actual, authority for such use is unauthorized ( 15 USC 1602 ( P ) and in this case my credit card was my social security card. This is false and misleading and the integrity of this information is not accurate ( 12 CFR 1002 ( e ). Also, according to 15 usc 1681 ( e ) ( b ) - Accuracy of report- Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.
