Consumer complaint: 2009 XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Thursday of every month I got pulled from class to get a new loan for my living and tuition expenses. I was at XXXX for one year and if I did n't go to sign the papers for my new loan every month I would n't be able to continue my classes to XXXX. I missed out on important class information and had to make them up on my own time. Homework and other hands on tasks became more difficult to accomplish if I did n't make up the lost time going to sign loan papers. I was told a rough amount that my school loan would be. About {$15000.00}. I started paying {$120.00} a month for my loan agreement then Genesis Lending increased it to {$190.00}. I called to ask why the increase in payment amount each month. I was told they saw i had a higher income so they adjusted the payment accordingly. Is that legal? I 've been paying this amount for 6 years and still owe {$13000.00}. I called Genesis Lending and come to find out they have been rolling over all the interest I pay on the loan every year. So all I 'm paying is interest basically for the last 6 years. I do n't think I 'm being treated fairly or legally. 

Company response: Company believes complaint caused principally by actions of third party outside the control or direction of the company
Consumer complaint: I have a Sallie Mae student loan, I had made my monthly payment on XXXX/XXXX/15 in full, {$130.00} and I requested a Forbearance at that time. I was told by XXXX in customer service that my Forbearance was indeed processed and I had nothing to worry about, as it was for ( 3 ) months. A few days later, I started receiving calls from Sallie Mae stating that my payment was past due for XXXX 2015. I called them and was told that There was never a forbearance placed on my account and that I would be going into collections if they did n't receive another payment for {$130.00}. I advised that I could n't afford another payment and that was why I asked on the last call. They took a financial stmt from me and said there was nothing that could be done. I called back on XXXX/XXXX/15 spoke to XXXX # XXXX and advised of all my prior calls and issues, he stated that he got permission from a supervisor to override the {$50.00} forbearance fee and process the forbearance through XXXX/XXXX/15 and if I wanted to request another XXXX, I 'd have to call back prior to that date and pay another {$50.00} to have it processed again. I called back that same day and spoke to XXXX to re-confirm that the forbearance was in effect, XXXX stated that it was and that he not only spoke to XXXX, but that he looked at my acct and it was showing there. Today is XXXX/XXXX/15, I started receiving calls from Sallie Mae stating that my acct was seriously past due and that I was headed to collections if they did n't receive a payment of {$270.00} before XXXX/XXXX/15. I called today and spoke to a supervisor # XXXX, she stated that none of the forbearance went through because I was past due in collections and had not paid the {$50.00}. I advised my entire situation and she said that there was nothing she could do and said for me to make the Min payment and come out of " collections, '' but I explained that was n't possible as I had trusted the Reps that I had spoken to at Sallie Mae and they mislead me to believe that my acct was in good standing in Forbearance. I am currently in an economic deferment with XXXX for my federal loans, and I advised that to the Supervisor. 
I do not know what to do and I have already paid off XXXX Sallie Mae loan last year, I have an impeccable credit report, am a single mother and do not want this to affect me negatively. 

Please help me!

Consumer complaint: The servicing of my mortgage was transferred from XXXX toSelect Portfolio Servicing at the beginning of XXXX 2015. I attempted inXX/XX/XXXX, to make my XXXX mortgage payment online, but was unable toaccess my account information. I contacted SPS 's customer service andthe gentleman who answered the call was also unable to access myaccount information. I was told they were a really large servicing companyand it takes time to load all the loans they purchased??!! Was this their firsttime uploading loans to their system? I did as I was instructed and waited untilXXXX XXXX to log into my account and to my surprise my account informationwas available. I logged in set up an account, placed my checking accountinformation into the system, to see a message I was going to be assessed a {$15.00} check by phone fee to make an XXXX time, on time regular mortgagepayment?!!! Working in the financial and mortgage servicing industry for thelast 13 years I know for a fact it costs pennies to process check by phonepayments. Consumer 's should not be charged outrageous fees to processregular on time mortgage payments. I am not delinquent, I am not having arepresentative process the payment, I did all the work, now automation takes over .... and I have to pay for the companies automation? I never had to pay afee with XXXX and since consumers can not choose who their servicingcompany is, I feel it is unethical for the new company to charge for servicesthe prior servicer did n't charge for. After calling in a talking to a servicingrepresentative at SPS, I got the run around before even getting the feewaived. I should n't have to pay {$15.00} for the company 's incompetence. 
Mortgage servicing companies are necessary for processing payments, dealing with the escrows, ect. but since the consumer can not shop aroundand make the choice about who services their mortgage loan, the servicingcompanies should not be able to charge customers for making onetimepayments online.

Consumer complaint: Back in 2011 my Notary sent an administrative process to XXXX XXXX XXXX using a Private Registered set-off Bond for XXXX. They never returned the negotiable instrument therefore it is discharged according to XXXX XXXX they refused the payment by sending me a frivolous letter. Then they transferred the mortgage to the current third party which is Select Portfolio Inc. SPS reinstated the foreclosure process and I saved the house by entering bankruptcy. Now I have sent another XXXX private forms of payment-an EFT check and an XXXX - ( also sent to IRS in XXXX KY XXXX. They did not return the EFT check-another example of XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Public Law 73-10 which states that institutions are not allowed to pick and choose what types of payments they can accept. By not returning my instruments these service companies can enrich themselves at the discount window without granting me credit on my mortgage. This would be considered Grand Theft. I demand that they release the lien on my property immediately and restore my good name.

Consumer complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I terminated my lease 2 months early with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TX. I followed all of the rules in the contracts, and addendum, regarding early termination. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX that they were trying to collect a debt of {$1300.00}. XXXX was charging me for a deposit due to early termination. I called and sent a letter requesting that they validate the debt. Their response was a copy of my lease with a letter that stated 'it was validated '. From there, I replied with a letter outlining the specifics of the lease and provided them with a copy of these and the early termination addendum asking them to correct the outstanding amount and validate the debt again. We went back and forth for two months. I had little success and their verbal response was to get a lawyer. 

Because the leasing company and debt collection agency were rude, not compliant and not providing an adequate response, I filed a complaint to the XXXX on XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a derogatory remark for {$1300.00} ( my balance was still being disputed with XXXX and National Credit Services ). 

On XXXX XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX that my balance was corrected to {$200.00} When I contacted XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX regarding the derogatory remark on my credit, they would not remove the remark from my credit report. Instead, they would show the balance as paid. National Credit Services and XXXX realty did not provide me with XXXX from the date the debt was validated to pay may balance before affecting my credit. The debt was not truly validated until XXXX which should allow me to pay the debt off by XX/XX/XXXX. 

When contacting XXXX and NCS regarding the above, they lack professionalism by hanging up with me, bullying me by talking over or saying they will disconnect the call if I 'm not calling to make a payment, and telling me that there is no way for this to be removed from my credit report. I have made many efforts and walked them through the process but have been unsuccessful with finding a resolution.

Consumer complaint: I decided to not pay another annual fee for a Bank of America Visa card. My expectation was the account would be closed. A month later I got a bill for my account which had been charged the annual fee. I did not knowingly ever agree to have the company automatically renew my account. I then called the company and was assured by customer service they would close the account and back out the charges. A month later I received another bill with a penalty included. I called again and was told they would close the account and back out all of the charges. A month later they continued to add penalties and did not close the account. I then sent them a letter with a return receipt by XXXX Mail. I detailed the above in this letter and told them to close the account and send me a final bill and I would pay that to just end this stupid experience. Instead they reported me to a credit reporting agency that I was now 120 days past due. 
I had not used this credit card for years. It was an emergency card.

Consumer complaint: I have a US Bank XXXX XXXX credit card. The card has an annual fee that is not waived. The card at the time of collection of annual fee had advertised a feature called XXXX night free, so if one would redeem points for a night at a hotel, the subsequent night was free. The annual fee was justified with this perk. 

However in XXXX they abruptly removed this feature. They also refused uniform compensation for the said removal. Multiple people have claimed a refund of annual fee for the year and XXXX total points as compensation being given by US bank to them. Ofcourse I can not validate the veracity of internet statements, but I have no reason to believe these people are lying. However when I complained at first they just said sorry and offered no compensation. Upon prodding for compensation they offered a mere XXXX points. 

I understand that product features are subject to change, however when you remove XXXX of your most advertised and valuable perks from a credit card with an annual fee, the compensation to the customers needs to be relevant and in line with changes in product. I am also not happy to see no uniformity in giving customers compensation.

Consumer complaint: In recently signed up for credit report info on credit Karma.com and noticed a collections account from a company called IQ International. I have never been contacted by this company in regards to this debt via email, postal mail or telephone. In addition, when I sought them out -calling them inquiring about this debt on my own accord to learn more information on it, the staff member was extremely rude and derogatory. I stated several times that I had never been notifed by her company about this supposed debt and as such I asked to speak to a Supervisor at this time ; the employee refused to transfer my call stating that until we work out a plan to settle the debt, she would not transfer the call. I listened to the alleged charges - when I asked to have a written copy sent to me as I was going to dispute them due to inaccuracy, she refused. I stated that this was unethical practice and would seek an attorney if necessary and she said that my account was " noted '' it would not be reduced, or ammended and must be paid in full and that she would not send out any documents to me so have my attorney call them,
