Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
My account number is XXXX XXXX XXXX Fedloanservicing or Myfedloan.org is the servicer. 

I submitted my XXXX XXXX form from XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXXXXXX signed by my then employer in XXXX. The form is signed by my employer XX/XX/XXXX. 

My form certified I worked from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

I made " qualifying payments '' throughout this time. For some reason XXXX payments in XXXX specifically XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX are not credited as qualifying payments. 
That is XXXX payments I am not given credit for despite staying with the same employer. 

I was told by the Fedloan in a XX/XX/XXXX letter that the end date was before the start date. That makes no sense. It is also not true. This is a hot mess. 

I am attaching my last submitted employer certification form that covered this time period.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Escrow, taxes, or insurance

Complaint:
I have had this loan for 10 years. NEVER escrowed for taxes or insurance. Premiums are always paid annually in full. 

Year XXXX property put in flood zone. Freedom forced placed flood insurance, but I secured my own policy within the time frame required, so in year one my montly payment was corrected to principal and interest only. 

In year XXXX, I paid the flood policy in full XXXX. It was not due until XXXX. Once again Freedom force placed flood insurance ignoring that I DO NOT escrow. My check for payment cleared before the payment made by Freedom Mortgage. My reseach indicated that Freedom 's check was RETURNED TO THEM.

Freedom is saying I owe {$1200.00} for insurance. I have made so many calls and even sent paperwork showing the " mistake '' is in their escrow department via USPS return receipt requested and acknowledged. 

In a telephone conversation with their escrow department on XXXX, I was assured that my account would no longer be escrowed effective XXXX CLEARLY BEFORE THE DUE DATE OF XXXX. 

Furthermore, I have paid XX/XX/XXXX payment and have proof that the check cleared my bank, but their records do not reflect that.

Today I am mailing ( overnight signature required ) the XX/XX/XXXX payment of principal and interest in the amount of {$770.00} which is the amount I have paid consistently for 10 years.

I am including a copy of the Declarations Pages of both Flood and Homeowners insurance showing that they are up to date and paid in full. 

I am also notifying them of this complaint to CFPB. 

I trust you will be able to resolve this issue. 

Thank you

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I opened a credit card in the store XXXX and made a purchase of {$150.00}. 
I received the bill for this in the mail on or around XX/XX/XXXX and it was due XX/XX/XXXX. 
I immediately set them up in my billpay account and entered payment to be sent. 
This was processed in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to be delivered XX/XX/XXXX. 
Tracking on the payment shows the check was in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, TX where was it's destination on XX/XX/XXXX. The due date was XXXX which was a Saturday. From the bank notes and tracking it appears the check was at the company by XX/XX/XXXX as the bank notes. XXXX processed the payment on Monday XXXX and sent me a late fee for {$30.00}. 
I tried to reach out by phone and email multiple times and explain this is not appropriate as even though they did not get me a bill out with lots of time I still paid immediately in full and on time and they for some reason did not process my payment prior to the due date. 
I got a scripted answer that said I am not eligible for a late fee wavier. I asked for a manager to call me but have not had that happen. 
I late got a call from a collector wanting {$37.00}. I explained again they seemingly held processing my payment or did it on the next business day and the fee was not fair and I wrote in for a manager to call. She had her supervisor get on the phone and tell me he would waive the {$7.00} and I could pay {$30.00}. I did not even know where the {$7.00} was coming from and had already stated I am disputing the {$30.00} late fee as I was not late. They now are sending me a statement for {$61.00}. 
I made a purchase of {$150.00}. I paid that in full and on time.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the many unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite my persistent efforts and cooperation, the fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, causing significant distress and adversely impacting my financial standing. 

I have previously submitted identity theft affidavits, police reports, and supporting documentation in my attempts to rectify these inaccuracies. Regrettably, it appears that the necessary actions were not taken to ensure the timely and accurate removal of the fraudulent items. 

The continued presence of these inaccuracies is not only affecting my creditworthiness but is also causing significant challenges in securing credit, obtaining favorable interest rates, and managing my overall financial well-being. 

I urgently request an immediate and thorough reinvestigation into this matter to expedite the removal of the fraudulent items from my credit report. I expect a detailed response within the exact timeframe acknowledging the receipt of this complaint and outlining the steps that will be taken to address and rectify the fraudulent items promptly. 

Failure to resolve this matter in a timely and satisfactory manner may compel me to escalate my complaint to regulatory authorities and seek legal recourse to protect my rights. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
