Complaint:
I received a letter dated XX/XX/23 from a company claiming to be Synchrony Bank. They stated my account ending XXXX has been closed due to a recent review of the account. I didn't recall any account with that number, but I do have a store credit card through Synchrony. Also, I have recently placed a fraud alert on my credit report so I thought Synchrony was sending this letter in response to that. The letter gave the phone number XXXX so I called and after speaking to them for a few minutes, I realized they were not the real Synchrony Bank. I hung up and then called Synchrony Bank customer service to report it. They confirmed that the letter is a scam.

I am writing to dispute the inclusion of this bankruptcy on my credit report. The dates filed and reported, as well as the closing dates, do not align. This situation is highly concerning as I possess a letter from the court clealy stating that this bankruptcy should not be reported to you. Furthermore, the involvement of an unauthorized third party adds to the absurdity of this situation.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NJ
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:
In 2009 I took out XXXX loans with AES for my higher education. I calculated my payoff time/date and knew when my outstanding balance would be cleared. This company arbitrarily decided, without warning, to under withdraw XXXX monthly payments. A move that was a clear deliberate attempt to prolong my debt and a breach in trust to the indebted, myself, in doing so. My total balance would have been paid off on the XXXX of XXXX had they continued withdrawing payments in the way that I have deliberately chosen to have automatic monthly installments dispersed. They undermined me, my choices, without warning or notification. No email contact, no paper contact through the mail, nor contact by phone. Full well knowing they could squeeze out a few more cents out of me by doing so. They have millions of borrowers nationwide. Imagine how many others they do this to on a monthly basis. You can figure it out with a general idea. By getting over on people like this they are not only behaving nefariously and in bad faith, they are also doing serious harm to people by prolonging their debt. All in an attempt to enrich themselves with a few pennies or a few extra dollars per borrower. Upon calling and speaking to a representative I was told that they can do decide how much to withdraw from me once a single loan in my outstanding balance is paid off in full. So in essence upon seeing that I was about to be paid off they defaulted my withdrawal amount to half of what I intentionally chose and calculated myself to prolong the debt for another month. Complete total XXXX. Absolutely outrageous.
