Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Denied loan

Complaint:
I applied to go to XXXX after transferring home From XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after my mother had a XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I was only XX/XX/XXXX years old. 

After getting in, I only got about half of the money due for tuition in financial aid. So I had to go the private sector route. I first got a loan applying with my grandmother ( has since passed away after I graduated from XXXX XXXX ), this was from XXXX XXXX services. They gave me, {$31000.00} ( XXXX ID - XXXX ) for XXXX year of tuition. Disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX. After my first year I was taking summer classes. This time again, I would need financial aid. Not getting enough I would turn to the private sector again, But only this time I was denied any further loans from XXXX XXXX, even with my Grandmother as a cosigner. So I turned to Sallie Mae. I was approved with my grandmother again as cosigner, for a loan of {$8800.00} ( Loan ID - # XXXX ) that was disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX. After summer classes, my Junior/Senior year was about to begin, and so I had to find more funding. This time though, nobody would approve me, I tried multiple different websites other than but including, Sallie Mae and XXXX XXXX, I do not fault the others as looking back now as an actual adult how wrong it would be to give a person like me funding of that nature, but so many companies feast on people like me. I also tried multiple different cosigners from my family, but no luck. Therefore, I had spent a just about a year at XXXX, borrowed over {$60000.00} total ( including federal loans, just principal, now it is much higher ), and for nothing. I borrowed all that money to go to a dream school, with an incredible reputation, thinking I was knowing the risk and " knowing '' ( truly hoping ) a degree from there would be worth the money. I truly believe they both Sallie Mae and XXXX XXXX gave me the original loans, more than well knowing that they would not approve me for a second one. How that is not unlawful is beyond me, but now I am stuck, worried sick about how to live, because I have this huge debt on my shoulders. In total with Federal I owe currently about XXXX in loans, and I graduated from a school that would have cost me {$80000.00} had I never tried to achieve a dream degree.

Regardless of multiple written requests, the unverified accounts/inquiries listed below are still reporting on my credit report in violation of federal law. The 3 Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15U.S. Code 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statues. Please remove the following accounts completely from my credit reports.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: WI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
XX/XX/2021, received letter to settle account from SANTANDER CONSUMER USA in full if I pay {$310.00} by XX/XX/2021. Paid {$310.00} on XX/XX/2021. Today, XX/XX/2021, Santander now says I owe {$550.00}. 

The debts on my credit were not adjusted to reflect this even after they told me three times it would be fixed within 30 days after payment ( which was done on XX/XX/2021 ), so I had to submit disputes to XXXX and XXXX. The disputes were accepted, and my accounts were fixed to display that I no longer owed Santander Auto any money. 

Today, on XX/XX/2021, Santander has updated my XXXX account saying I owe {$550.00}, and they marked on my account that I missed a payment in XXXX, dropping my credit by 12 points. My payment was accepted on XX/XX/2021 to settle the account as PAID IN FULL, how could I have possibly missed a payment in XXXX of 2021 for an account that has now been closed for multiple months? 

They clearly have no intention of being honest, and are trying to mark things on my credit that they do not have the power to do.

Complaint:
On XXXX, Zelle indicates that COMPLAINTANT has to use mobile data plan in order to register for a new account. COMPLAINTANT has attempted without use of Wi-Fi Network but sign-up still failed. On  XXXX XXXX XXXX platform, its Zells functionality for COMPLAINTANT is also failing to send verification emails nor show up on web browsers. No other people or organization are having this problem per Zelle 's claim at this time around XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Zelle states it is upto institutions such as XXXX to maintain its Zelle functionality whereas XXXX states it is upto Zelle to fix any platform issue regarding it. COMPLAINTANT is uncertain whether the fault is to be attributed to Zelle, XXXX or to both. 
To add, on XXXX, COMPLAINTANT tried to setup a new account with " XXXX - XXXX XXXX  XXXX '' via Zelle using different email and phone number. However, around XXXX and XXXX XXXX, Zelle indicated that previous attempt of enrollment shows that use of foreign based email server/address has caused the COMPLAINTANT 's signup with Zelle to fail. COMPLAINTANT 's signup still failed upon reinstall of the Zelle app. Interestingly later on, Zelle indicated that it has no retained data of any sort of this new profile COMPLAINTANT is trying to establish. COMPLAINTANT wonders how Zelle representatives became aware of previous attempts for signup when it has no retained data of any sort regarding this incident. Zelle representative claims that it was up to COMPLAINTANT to clean-up any issues or failures as the app is user-based. However, COMPLAINTANT would like to counter-claim that if the Zelle app from its backend server had no problem to start with, COMPLAINTANT then would not have to call in. ( For what is a relatively easy and simple process for any mobile user ).
