Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: WA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I've contacted Sallie Mae multiple times over my loans no longer being deferred. While most loans have been reverted to in-school status with the bill-due removed to in-school status, one has not. I've contacted Sallie Mae multiple times through the phone and their chat service, attempting to resolve this issue as quickly as possible to continue making my in-school payments ( {$25.00} a month ). I've been working hard to increase my score over time and was disappointed to see my score affected by the lack of support from Sallie Mae on an issue that their system is having. I am told that their system shows that I was not in school, but that is inaccurate, as I was in school during the fall and summer quarters. I have made sure that my deferment status would not be affected and picked a graduate program with a start date that would not affect my loans. 
This is not the first time Sallie Mae has removed me from in-school deferment, and I had to call them before to fix this issue. I can't be {$400.00} past due when my in-school payments are {$25.00}. My overdue balance would take many months to reach {$400.00}. 
Sallie Mae has repeatedly told me to " wait 3-5 business days and call again, '' and I've been doing that constantly for months. They have no way of tracking a claim, or how to fo follow-up on an issue. They do not send emails about the progress of the claim either. I have been making payments for months without any problems, but I will not pay an out-of-school balance when I am still a student. Sallie Mae has all the necessary call and chat logs. I am ready to submit all the documentation needed to prove my case.

I have submitted the statements showing that Sallie Mae had removed me from in-school deferment and then put me back to an in-school status but never removed the {$300.00} payment. I have also attached a screenshot of one of the many times I have been told to wait while my credit score gets affected. 

Thank You

Complaint:
I am a cosigner on a loan with my son at XXXX. The loan was for a {$67000.00} signature loan taken out in XXXX, XXXX. At all times during this loan, payments were always made on time. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, my son ( one of the applicants on the loan ) filed for bankruptcy. However, my ex husband and myself did not ( co-applicants on the account ). So according to the loan agreement, I am still responsible for the payment of this loan. I did not file for bankruptcy. After the bankruptcy was filed, XXXX charged the account off and reported the account as a charge off to my credit report. This action dropped my credit score over 135 points. At the time this loan was charged off, the account was current. It is also noteworthy to mention that XXXX took a payment on XX/XX/XXXX and subsequently returned it to my son. XXXX never notified me that one of the applicants filed for bankruptcy and they never gave me an opportunity to make payments on the loan. 

XXXX is damaging my credit report by reporting this account as charged off. They charged the account off while it was current. Furthermore, a bankruptcy filing by one of the three applicants on the loan should not negatively affect the credit of the other two non-filing applicants, especially when payments have been made on time.

In the process of obtaining a XXXX-figure home mortgage loan, I recently had the opportunity to review a copy of my credit report at the XXXX, Experian and XXXX consumer reporting agencies.

Complaint:
I have submitted several disputes requesting Verification of Debt with the credit bureau on a 3rd party collections agency reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. The credit bureaus did not do a full investigation and send proof that the debt belongs to me like I asked. Now they have sent me letter stating they will not re-investigate debt anymore. I have contacted the collection company and all they send me is a invoice. I still have no proof of the contract with my signature or bank transactions showing I did not pay. I want proof and the credit bureau simply just state account has been verified. The XXXX system is not a true form of investigating a validation of debt.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
On XX/XX/19, I heard about a new credit card through a co-worker of mine. He referred to the card as the " Hilton Diamond '' card, a credit card that would instantly earn me Diamond status with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was currently staying at a XXXX XXXX XXXX, so this sounded like a great idea. 
On XX/XX/19 at XXXX XXXX ( HST ), I called American Express about this card and spoke to XXXX ( XXXX? ) about opening this card. I already had the " Hilton Gold '' credit card, so I inquired about any bonus offers for upgrading to the " Hilton Diamond '' card. She informed me that I would receive 150,000 bonus points if I spent {$4000.00} in the first 3 months of having the card. I also asked a few other questions related to the logistics of upgrading the card ( credit check, activation, card fees, etc. ).

After I upgraded, I made sure to spend the {$4000.00} that would be required to get the bonus, but after several weeks, I had not seen an increase in my Hilton points balance. 
I then made a phone call to American Express asking when I would be receiving the bonus that I was promised, and the representative informed me that there was no offer loaded onto my account and that the issue would have to be escalated for resolution. 
After several days, I called back to check on the status of that escalation and was informed that they listened to the call made back on XX/XX/19, and that it was determined that no such offer was made. I asked the representative what other steps I could take since I was 100 % confident that my original statement was valid, but they told me that there was nothing they could do besides another case escalation. 
Once again, after several days, I called American Express and was informed that my case had been reviewed again and that no such offer was made. They also said that there was nothing else I could do. 
I am very confident that the original representative offered me 150,000 bonus points. I made sure to spend over {$4000.00} on my credit card in the 3 months following my phone call, but I have yet to receive the promised points. Please see the attached notes that I took during the phone call on XX/XX/19.

Complaint:
RE : Report # XXXX I 'm complaining because Experian have failed to comply with, furthermore wilfully ignored, my request to provide me with the documents that their company have on file that was used to verify the accounts that I disputed in writing back in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX of this year, I sent them a dispute letter requesting that they verify all data for the disputed accounts and 40+ days later I have yet to receive anything of the sort. <P/>Because it is well past the 30 days permitted by law, and they are unable to verify the account, the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) explicitly states that they are required by federal law to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified. '' namely the accounts in my dispute. <P/>I ask that you resolve this matter with urgency as my character is being defamed by their wilful non-compliance with the FCRA. Thank you.

i am extremely XXXX. i sent in a dispute on my behalf well over 60 days ago and present this day which is XXXX nothing has been done. i also noticed that they have not updated my consumer report with any indication that i have been disputing the items on my consumer report. my first dispute dates back to XXXX of XXXX and still my report indicates nothing that i have disputed this negative information which is the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed. with that i am requesting that the items be removed from my consumer report and an updated consumer report showing that be sent to me. i would very much love it if the consumer reporting agencies do the job that they have assumed the position to do. Also i never provided them with the written instruction to put these accounts on my consumer report, they did not have permissible purpose. my report also shows these accounts are collection accounts but have a balance, which is not even possible. at this point i notice that the consumer reporting agencies are throwing anything on my report as long as they are getting payment to do so.

As the original creditor only I can validate any debt and I did not validate any debt, nor did I validate any lat payments. Therefore I demand that all violations in dispute on my report must be deleted due to violation of over 45 days and 15 U.S.C. 1692g.
