Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX has refused to properly update my student loan balance on my credit report for four months now, and they flat out refuse to help when I call them. Once again, my credit reports are incorrect, and the only way to attempt to fix them is to waste my time filing a dispute with the credit agencies. It is impossible to get a hold of a representative at XXXX who can actually do anything to help. It is near impossible to get a hold of any representative at all. They will claim that they are busier than usual, and they are sorry for the inconvenience, but they know darn well that they refuse to hire enough people to handle the job, and train them well enough to do actually do anything remotely helpful. They have no problem wrecking people 's credit scores, as there is no consequences for their actions. This is a scam, and XXXX does not deserve to stay in business.
