Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I authorized a payment of {$5400.00} to the Illinois XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) via the loan servicer XXXX ESCI. I received an online receipt of this payment and online confirmation that it was processed. The intent of the payment was to pay off a XXXX XXXX in full. At some point shortly after ( I believe before XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX transferred my loan to ESCI XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( EFPLS ). EFPLS has no record of the {$5400.00} payment being made. XXXX ESCI still shows a record of the {$5400.00} payment, and per my calls to XXXX their records show the loan as paid in full. However EFPLS provides no mechanism to submit any documents and their customer service line insists that the university ( IIT ) must reach out to them directly. I have attempted to resolve this issue through XXXX several times ( starting on XX/XX/XXXX and most recently on XXXX ) and been assured that " it will be fixed '' but I have seen no concrete change on the EFPLS account. As of XX/XX/XXXX with the end of the student loan pause EFPLS has sent a demand for payment. Given the apparent inability or unwillingness of the parties ( IIT and EFPLS ) to resolve this matter or allow me to do so, I now escalate it. NOTE : This complaint was previously submitted and sent to XXXXESCI . They were not the appropriate subject of the complaint. The complaint should be directed to EFPLS and to a lesser extent IIT.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: SC
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem

Complaint:
Due to the many violations and illegal practices I wont let happen to me, I have entered more complaints than one may like. You guys keep allowing companies to duplicate complaints as if they fixed the problem the first time. A person will not keep complaining if the problem got fixed. In this case the problem has never gotten fixed. Therefore, Navy federal continues to commit more fraudulent activities on my closed account, How is that possible? How is it possible for navy federal to transfer money to a charged off account? Navy Federal has done many things concerning my account without my knowledge or consent. I was not told my account was not accessible. I was not aware of the illegal credit transfers that have continued to happen. Even after sending a letter to rescind, also a letter explaining my unaware decision I made concerning this contract which under law trumps the entire agreement. It is illegal for Navy federal to have their members thinking there are no funds in there account, their account has been terminated. Behind the scenes Navy Federal has been transferring frozen for over a year now. How is that I work for my money and Navy federal agents can lock me out of my account and steal my money? I have gotten behind on bills, I have had to sell many items just so that I can survive. While Navy federal uses my money in my account to satisfy their cooperate needs! It is illegal for a closed charged off account to still have activity. Better yet, they enclosed the money is going to credit, where and how is the balance getting decreased? This is the main reason why this account has been flagged as fraudulent. Navy federal has yet to acknowledge that they misinformed me about where the loan actually came from. The loan was taken out of my name as if they were going to pay me back. I have not received a check from Navy federal from taking a loan out in my name. Furthermore, Navy federal led me to believe I no longer had an account with them all while still using my money and liying to the credit bureaus. They report to the bureaus that the account is still active and still being payed on. It seems like to me this proof that navy federal owns this debt. That is illegal i dont care. You cant take someones money not tell them and use it to your full advantage and i as the consumer does not receive any benefits from this situation. If anything this is tarnished my reputation! Its your job CFPB to stop these companies from running all over the consumer who in which has the rights. The bureaus are being gave false reports each month and no one is doing anything about it! I give the CFPB to collect evidence to support my claim.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: MD
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
We purchased a truck in XX/XX/2022 from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX MD. Santander financed the loan. In the process of the financing paperwork, it was a very rushed process as the business closed hours prior to our financing process. The XXXX  XXXX at XXXX failed to go over the contract in its entirety and only told us the first payment would be due in XXXX days and the finance company would contact us. In addition, there was an incorrect address on our paperwork which means we failed to receive any statements by mail. I created a customer portal account in order to get notifications regarding the account, which I checked multiple times in the course of the XXXX  days. There was no information in the portal. When I checked in XXXX, I saw the information and saw the account was delinquent. I immediately paid the XXXX and XXXX payment. However, it was already reported as XXXX  days late. When Santander was contacted, they advised me that the 30 day late payment could not be reversed as they attempted to contact my husband ( the borrower ) but at no point did they contact me ( the co buyer ). We received nothing by mail nor did I receive any statement by email or otherwise. They admittedly reported that they had returned mail from us. I don't feel as though my credit should suffer due to mistakes of others and I am asking that this XXXX day late payment be removed off my credit.

Complaint:
15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet Experian is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. Experian and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211.
