Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for one of the two loans from XXXX XXXX for my daughter 's college tuition. In the beginning when I inquired about different aspects of the loan, before signing any document, I made several phone calls, and realized that the interest rate changed throughout the day which I thought was only for international currency exchanges. I also asked at least twice if I paid more than the monthly amount due, that the additional money would be used to pay down the principle and at least twice I was told yes. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX because I realized that the extra money I had sent in was not being applied to the principle of the one loan. After being kept on hold 10-15 minutes the person came back and said that the money had been put aside for future payments. I asked to speak to a supervisor more than once and I was never able to speak to one. I was told that " the supervisor would allow the money to be paid towards the principle of the one loan this time, but it could not be done in the future. '' I thought that this may be considered predatory lending with the amount of the interest, the misrepresentation of facts, and the inability to speak to a supervisor as if I was being put off and felt as if the company was involved in a scheme. This has affected credit reports for both myself and my daughter.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
The interest rates of the following credit cards are just ridiculous and should be looked upon by Agencies like you. These Companies are practicing USURY. Imagine almost 50 % of what you're paying goes to interest charges alone. With the gov't providing stimulus package to these Companies they should help low income people on their bills by at least reducing the APR, some are charging 22 % others 24 % on purchases and cash advances. These are ridiculous when the Fed has cut the Fed rates at its lowest level. I called each one of them to reduce my APR and they just shunned on me! What if I don't pay them, do they prefer that than help me by reducing interest rates? 
Credit Card Co : Capital One, XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Card, XXXX XXXXl Credit, Retail Stores : XXXX XXXX and XXXX  You CFPB are too much on Fair and Responsible Lending XXXX, but not going through where the big issues are ... the Interest Rates that these greedy Credit Card Companies/ Retail Store Cards are charging. These are the ones to be looked upon with more scrutiny. Not the Math Models that you develop and ask banks to provide on FRL issues, which are XXXX anyways.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I have an open auto loan with your company Bridgecrest that was opened a few years back. Unfortunately, in XXXX XXXX XXXX I was 30 days late. I have tried to ask for a goodwill letter based on the long-standing relationship I've had with Bridgcrest and the fact that I was in a tight financial situation, but I was not very successful with this request. I am hoping that by reaching out to someone of higher authority that you would be able to assist me with getting the late payment removed from my credit report as it is causing me extreme hardship. I do believe that customer service is limited as far as customer requests are concerned, and I know that they are only doing their job. I want to insert that paying late was not intentional and I have been current ever since and my credit report will show that. We are all human and sometimes have misfortune, and I am asking to be forgiven for this mishap. I have really enjoyed my relationship with Bridgecrest and would love to continue doing business. I hope that you can forgive my shortcomings and help me with this late payment removal. I really hope to hear a favorable outcome from Bridgecrest. Thank you for your time.

ON XX/XX/XXXX There was an account opened in my name that is now in collections for {$9300.00} ALSO ON XX/XX/XXXX There was a false collection for {$670.00} under my name that should have been resolved already. 

15 USC 1681 section 602 A : States I have to right to privacy 15 USC 1681 section 604 A : States a consumer agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 USC 1692C STATES : A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.

THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.
