Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: My student loans used to be handled by a lending company called XXXX but after XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and qualified for student loan forgiveness they transferred my loan to a company called XXXX. I have XXXX issues now because XXXX is continuing to report my student debt as well as XXXX so it appears I have twice as much student loan debt on my report than I actually do.. also XXXX has XXXX violated by the XXXX XXXX and my account is in mandatory forbearance pending my income driven repayment agreement which should be set at XXXX continuing once the issue is resolved but XXXX is reporting that my payments are deferred and they keep adding interest to the balance in my credit report but there is supposed to be no interest during the forbearance. I would like XXXX to quit reporting and have it removed from my report and I would like a XXXX to report accurately and update everything but I have had no luck and it has caused me to be denied for a mortgage.
