Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX today sent yet another Demand Letter for a debt that was paid in full ( actually overpaid ) through a XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Previously, I filed complaint # XXXX through the CFPB and believed that this issue was resolved. Apparently, it was not. 

How many times do I need to deal with this same problem before they are fined and I receive some form of compensation for their illegal actions? This is ridiculous and a complete waste of my time and the resources of the CFPB. 

They need to be audited, have their record keeping systems fixed or be sued. Imagine their profits by doing this to enough customers who do not keep records or feel too intimidated to fight back.

Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I graduated college in XXXX. My first payments were around {$200.00} and I could manage that. Within a year, for reasons unknown, the amount increased drastically to around {$400.00}. Unable to make this payment and petrified I would go into default, I contacted Navient. The CSR explained I could go into forebearance, and I distinctly remembering being told I could only be in forebearance for a year. Fast forward to XXXX and the financial collapse, I contacted Navient again and was told not to worry, forebearance was an option. There was never a mention of the income driven repayment plan and I didn't learn such a payment vehicle existed until I read an article in XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I am currently on an IDR, but what is very frustrating is had I been on one back in XXXX, my loans would be nearing completion. Instead, I have thousands of dollars in interest charges! I sent letters to Navient over the years asking why my balance was so exorbitant, and never received a response. I simply don't understand why I wasn't offered an IDR plan rather than put into forebearance. That article in CR I referred to was titled I Kind of Ruined My Life by Going to College and while I am a proponent of education, I can safely say it ruined my financial life. Any assistance the CFPB can provide in the possible abatement of a portion of the interest charges would be an amazing fete for which I would be unbelievably grateful!

Complaint:
I, once again, would like to request the removal of the erroneous accounts and information you have been reporting on my Credit File. When I checked my credit record, I discovered a lot of billing problem. Under U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), billing errors include any computation errors or other accounting errors on a statement, as well as the creditor 's failure to appropriately reflect a statement, a payment made by the debtor, or a credit line extended to the debtor. There shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts because, as far as I'm aware, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days earlier. Below is the list of the disputed accounts that you should remove immediately : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}.

State: MO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX Nelnet advised me to consolidate a federal loan which I recieved to obtain my XXXXXXXX XXXX with 2 consolidated parent plus loans which I got in my divorce. Nelnet advised me to consolidate and assured me it would not affect the Public Loan Forgiveness plan I had been on since XX/XX/XXXX. I made numerous calls to make sure I was given the correct information and each Nelnet representative said the exact same thing - that it would not without a doubt change my PLF plan. Now at XXXX - XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX says that I only show 4 qualifying payments out of 120 payments due to Nelnet or Dept of Ed 's failure to report my payments and the misinformation I was given by them that consolidating Parent Plus Loans with mu Federal Loan would make my Public Loan Forgiveness payments start over from XX/XX/XXXX. I am devastated because I will be retiring in 5 years and I would have to go on 20 year plan instead of 10 year plan. If I had been advised correctly I would never have consolidated in XX/XX/XXXX. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have made 70 out of 120 payments. However XXXX only shows 4. I am a single parent working on a XXXX XXXX salary with XXXX child in school and helping my other XXXX age student. My low income payments went from 88 because I had XXXX children in XX/XX/XXXX on my tax returns -- since XXXX of my children are grown - and share tax years with my ex husband - I can only show one on tax returns which makes my payments XXXX from XXXX. Now I am struggling making the higher payment each month. I sincerely hope you can help me reslove this by getting XXXX to count the 72 years and lower my monthly paynents. Thank you.

Complaint:
CITIs Best Buy credit card automatically enrolled me in a debt protection program. I asked for proof of me accepting this enrollment and they could not provide this. Their response was that it appears on the statement which is accurate. It is also accurate that they asked me to enroll in paperless and I was happy to do that. It is also true that the functionality to view or download statements does not work on mobile devices. I will provide screenshots of the link I clicked and the error I received. I will also provide screenshots of how they try to hide these charges by charging them on the last day of the statement so they never appear in recent transactions even if they were just charged the day before. In the transactions section of the site the default is recent transactions and you would have to change the default to the previous statement to see the charge. I believe Citi tries to hide these fees to run the clock out on the XXXX percent purchases and hit people with the deferred interest.
