Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Equifax and XXXX continue to report me as being late 18 times when I've submitted several times that this account with XXXX was in a hardship forbearance Hardship forbearance or deferred payment make me not liable for making payments during that time. 

During the time of the 18 months my account was in forbearance and not only is the actual late payments wrong but the amount of late payments are wrong - I only make payment once a month - So why do I have three XXXX loans on my credit report and each of them have 6 late payments My credit currently has 18 late payments from one account that I make on monthly payment on per month In addition to this, I was placed in forbearance by XXXX for the duration of those late payments and have submitted over and over again - This issues has not only caused me distress but caused issues with the ability to acquire things financially I've been addressing this issue for years now

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IN
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:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent specific payment instructions to Nelnet : " I am writing to provide you instructions on how to apply payments when I send an amount greater than the minimum amount due. Please apply payments as follows : 1. After applying the minimum amount due for each loan, any additional amount should be applied to the loan that is accruing the highest interest rate. 2. If there are multiple loans with the same interest rate, please apply the additional amount to the loan with the lowest outstanding principal balance. 3. If any additional amount above the minimum amount due ends up paying off an individual loan, please then apply any remaining part of my payment to the loan with the next highest interest rate. It is possible that I may find an option to refinance my loans to a lower rate with another lender. If this lender or any third party makes payments to my account on my behalf, you should use the instructions outlined above. Retain these instructions. Please apply these instructions to all future overpayments. Please confirm that these payments will be processed as specified or please provide an explanation as to why you are unable to follow these instructions. Thank you for your cooperation. '' On XX/XX/XXXX, when checking my account I noticed that loan group F had accrued a larger than normal amount of interest : {$260.00}. Even though I was making my monthly minimum payments and occasionally making extra payments toward group F. After making an extra payment of {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX my due date was advanced. 

It is criminal, and infuriating that I accrued extra interest because Nelnet did not process my payment instructions. My goal is to pay my loans off early and avoid gaining extra interest by doing so. My instructions were sent to serve that purpose. Nelnet did not follow my instructions and now I owe more interest, in spite of making early payments in order to pay my accounts of early. Nelnet should be held liable for reducing my owed interest amount because of their error.

Complaint:
I've been getting the run around. My credit card statement generated on XX/XX/2018. 
The credit report should have been updated the following business day XX/XX/2018 to reflect my new credit card balance. My credit card is paid down close to zero balance, but it has yet to be updated. When I contacted TransUnion, they advised that the report was updated on XX/XX/XXXX. This isn't accurate. 

When I contacted XXXX XXXX, they advised to contact TransUnion. I'm in the process of buying a home and the maxed out credit card status is preventing me from doing so.

Company: Zakheim Law Group, P.A.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

Complaint:
I was sued by Zakheim Law Group allegedly representing XXXX XXXX on a credit card debt XX/XX/XXXX- case # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . I answered ( pro-se ) alleging they had no standing as they did not appear to have been actually authorized by XXXX to represent them. Subsequently they filed an affidavit ( 149 pages ) containing my complete account records for over 2 years including the unredacted account # s and ID of various medical and other accounts. After losing my case and my counterclaim I was told by the Court that I could file to have this data redacted. This was not the case as I do not qualify for that and I am not permitted to have this filing made private as that is something only the plaintiff is allowed to do. I had notified Zakheim on XX/XX/XXXX in  my answer that I am a widow on a fixed income from SS and a small pension and exempt from any possible garnishment or attachment as I have no assailable assets. Zakheim proceeded to obtain some sort of authorization in XX/XX/XXXX to actually represent XXXX and proceeded to obtain and record a judgment against me, as well as proceeding to file judgments in several other cases that were in the same Court that were still open and had no activity for 3-6 Months prior. It is my contention that Zakheim had used the Court as a collection agent in many cases without actually at the time of filing being authorized to do so. In addition the publication of my account records including the names and account # s of various medical payees is a violation of my privacy rights under HIPAA.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 two ( 2 ) payments were made and posted to my Citi credit card. One in the amount of {$2500.00}, and the other payment in the amount of {$200.00}. The {$2700.00} paid my credit card off. Once the card was paid off an offer came up to take a citi flex loan of {$9500.00}. The flex loan would be offered at a rate of 7.99 % and be paid in 34 payments. It clearly showed this on my XXXX statement. This then changed the following month. {$2500.00} was being charged 21.99 % and the remaining {$7000.00} was being charged at a rate of 7.99 %. The payment stated in the Citi Flex Loan was {$230.00} each month. Now I am paying approximately {$360.00} a month versus the {$230.00}. 

This account needs to be put on the Citi Flex loan that I signed and agreed to at 7.99 % and {$230.00} a month. 
Ive contacted Citi 3 times without resolve.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have a checking account at Bank of America. I also have an XXXX XXXX XXXX   with Bank of America. I authorized funds to be transfered electronically from my checking account to my XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/20. The funds were withdrawn from my checking account and deposited to my XXXX account on XX/XX/20. The online statements reflect both debit and credit transactions respectively, yet the funds are now not available for use in either accounts. 

After contacting my XXXX account representative, he acknowledged having recieved my electronic deposit from Bank of America, but I was told their banking policy governing fraud would not allow funds to be released for my use until a 10-day holding period had been reached. 

This is wrong. They are hold my funds not for fraud prevention, but for the purposes of investing it in the XXXX market. Banks refer to this scheme as " interest float income '' and it's actually a line item in their income statements -- and not an insignficant one. The interest on billions of $ s of deposited checks is substantial, even if it's only for 3 or 4 days at a time. 

In any case, I thought there were regulations specifically limiting the number of days a hold is allowed.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Sure I called the company and no one could give me any payment information when I asked. I have an old non PDF statement of account that is VERY different from what the company is now showing. I can have this scanned if needed but anyone with eyes can see what I'm saying without looking at it as the report is very sketchy. 
In XXXX I graduated law school and I would happily return the degree if possible. It's worthless. 
XXXX XXXX spent years convincing me to do things that weren't smart. In XXXX it turned to threats. I said do it so they destroyed my credit. 
In XXXX I had a lawyer draft what I wanted ... a payment schedule that fit with what I could afford on a teacher salary. 
I started paying the agreement and never missed one after. 
However in XXXX they changed handlers. 
I received court notices they were going to sue. 
I spoke and showed every payment and they dropped the charges. 
Now in XXXX I wanted a statement of account. 
In XXXX my XXXX loan was down to XXXX in the paper. I will go through my papers if I need to and get it scanned. 
So I filed a complaint and Navient first provided a statement that they suddenly had all my 10 years of payment. 
I then filed a second complaint wondering why my loans were never changing. 
Now today I received a statement and it's conveniently stating all payments I have made for a decade are entirely in the interest and fees column. This is not what I was told 6 years ago. And for 10 years the balance didn't change at all. 
It doesn't smell honest at all if final bills don't change in a decade of payment. I'd like clarification, especially on the XXXX bill that was down to XXXX in XXXX is now being reported as XXXX back then.
