Does anyone know about AFF?
I pulled weekly annual report and on TU, I noticed a new entry. It is a line from American First Finance reporting a Student Loan with a payments from as far back of Jan 2023.
I called the phone number listed on the TL and it ended up into a solicitation . After a google search, I found a different number. I called but rep could not located any account with my name, DOB or SSN.
I asked what AFF does as a business and the rep said we finance store purchases (Furtinutre, utensils etc). I asked if they happen to be a servicer of Student Loans but rep said no we do not service student loans. What strikes me is the description of the TL on TU that says "Student Loan."
She sent the request for investigation. I have also initiated a TU dispute.
If you don't recognize this loan with a $7338 balance you should be disputing it.

That is the thing- I do not owe anyone anything. Rep used my SSN, DOB, Phone No or name to bring up in their system but could not find any account and could not pull this account either with my info.

Then MyFICO claimed I made a payment of $198.00 to Chase. My score went back up. I made no such payment. My financial institution showed no such payment. Chase had not recorded that payment.
Earlier this month there were reports of sites being hacked. Interestingly, the day after my score was returned to its previous level it went up two points.
MyFICO doesn't tell you that a payment is made.
