Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: An existing modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or other loss mitigation relief

Complaint:
I fell behind in my FHA mortgage on or around XXXX of XXXX  due to an injury that kept me out of work temporarily. I am planning to return to work shortly but in the interim, I requested a forbearance from my mortgage company, Freedom Mortgage. During the summer of XXXX, I requested to be reviewed for a forbearance. I filled out a loss mitigation packet and my housing counselor submitted it to Freedom Mortgage. On XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that I would not be reviewed for any loss mitigation, including a forbearance, due to a gas lien on the property in the amount of {$750.00}. I was not aware of the gas lien and am taking steps to resolve the lien. However, such a lien should not have been an obstacle to my being reviewed for a forbearance.

The goods were never delivered to our home and XXXX year later XX/XX/XXXX we cancelled the entire order and were advised we would get a refund back. My husband did confirm that in XX/XX/XXXX he did get a {$800.00} refund back from rooms to go on his XXXX card. 

However, the remaining {$1700.00} was never credited back to my card or store credit. Synchrony bank spoke to the rooms to go representative from the XXXX XXXX location together with me on the phone explaining they sent the {$1700.00} back to synchrony and synchrony stated that they only have the charge processed but there was no refund or statement credit ever issued. 

Rooms to go provided us statement of the order proving what I wrote above and synchrony said the only thing that we can do is open up a dispute for the {$1700.00} and provide them the statement that rooms to go provided. I did exactly what they told me and after XXXX month their final decision was to not give us the refund. 

so here we are, we paid for furniture that we never received and we even have documented proof that they were refunded but they do not care.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: PA
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:
I had to consolidate my student loans with Fedloan Servicing to participate in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

My account shows that I consolidated with them on XX/XX/XXXX. Payment records on Fedloans website shows a payment history beginning on XX/XX/XXXX. In order to qualify for the loan forgiveness, I must make 120 payments. I have made 44. They are saying I have only made 27. According to Fedloan, this past year has not yet been calculated, however, for the past three years, I have been arguing with them over what they are considering qualifying payments.

Including the past year they claim they have not calculated yet, I have made 44 payments and they are saying Ive only made 39. They have said they have disqualified the uncounted payments for the following reasons : I made two payments too close together. Both were disqualified. This is false. I get emails saying when my payment is due. Then I go on to their website and make the payment. Ive never paid when the payment wasnt due. I would be unable to as the amount in the box would be XXXX. In order to rectify this, they asked I make a payment over the phone. I had already made my payment that month, but they asked that I make a second payment taking me out of the pay ahead status. This was done on XX/XX/XXXX. However, those two payments are still not showing as qualifying payments. ( That is two payments not counted. ) They then said one month I paid a few cents too much and another month I paid a few cents too little. This is impossible because I use their internet site and phone app to make my payments. The amount I owe is auto populated. I do not change the amount. I only click on the date and click on my bank account and then submit the payment. It makes no sense whatsoever to change the auto populated amount by pennies. ( That is an additional two payments not counted. ) Another month they claim I was on deferment, which is false. ( That is one payment not counted. ) That brings to total count to five payments they claim are not qualifying payments.

I have disputed this with them on multiple occasions over the years. I have spoken to supervisors as well as other agents. The supervisors have been rude with one telling me that there was nothing they would do for me and to call the media and my local government representative. She went on to say that I wasnt going to win in a fight against them, laughed and then hung up on me. I have researched their practices and have sadly discovered that I am one of thousands of people they are scamming with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
