Company: GREAT LAKES
State: CA
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:
I have student loans from both my XXXX and XXXX  degrees managed by Great Lakes. After completing XXXX school on XX/XX/19 my XXXX loans were automatically put in to forbearance without my permission or consent. I was told this was ostensibly to " align the status '' of my XXXX and XXXX loans. Further review revealed that the forbearance status also cancelled the .25 % interest rate discount I receive for utilizing autopay. I make significant payments above minimum every month despite my loans not being in repayment. This automatic forbearance will in effect increase the potential interest that will be capitalized when my XXXX loans exit their grace period as my payments are applied proportionally to each loan ( I can not allocate manually unless the interest balance is zero at the time of my extra payments ). Greatlakes has offered to cancel the forbearance but has offered my no remedy for the lost efficacy of my payments due to the effective increase in interest rate.

Switched to paperless billing on my chase freedom card due to being sent an offer of an additional {$5.00} in rewards credits after 8-10 weeks.

I called again today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and am now being told that I am only at 8 weeks from XX/XX/XXXX from some reason. I told them that this wait that wait along with a different answer everytime is getting ridiculous and they didnt offer any additional help

Complaint:
I just want to inform you for the final time in a professional manner. Look, I 've been getting harassed, disrespected, and receiving threatening phone calls that I will be getting sued by your company acting as a lawyer. I do n't take threats lightly and I have contacted the Police to file a report on behalf of this matter, contacted the state attorney general, FTC, BBB to file complaints, I have contacted my lawyer to insist on pursuing legal actions against you. You have not only cause me to fear for my life, you 've caused major damage which I am now stressed, and I 've been treated unfairly. I am unaware of the accounts. I request each of you collection Agencies and creditor reporting agencies show me proof of verification that you supposedly have in your file. There is no actual copy of the supposed debt that you 're saying I owe, i am unaware of these accounts. By law if you 're unable to provide legitimate validation of this debt with the actual contract, you must remove it immediately. You 've violated my rights by harassing me at work, on the phone, you also threatened me to pay a debt that I am unaware of, you have illegitimate debt that you are trying to collect on an innocent civilian. FCRA requires an established process to be outlined and all credit reporting companies are to verify every account it reports on before reporting on it. It violates a major section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 609.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX I purchased a XXXX Visa gift card from my local XXXX Pharmacy store. The gift card amount was for {$500.00}. I used cash to pay and the total amount with activation fee included was {$500.00}. The receipt showed the card was activated and checking the gift card balance shortly after the purchase showed the correct amount of {$500.00}. 

However, I have tried making multiple purchases through different vendors and none of them can be processed. A similar error shows up during each attempted purchase. Either it's an invalid billing detail error or payment error. 

I have repeatedly tried contacting XXXX to get in touch with a customer service representative and can not get in touch with anyone. I have left messages but the phone number provided on the back of the card is fully automated and never helps resolve the issue. They do not provide any other contact information on their website. 

The purchases I have attempted were all through reputable companies where these Visa Gift cards are widely used and accepted. The first one I tried was on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$470.00}. And it was declined for invalid billing details. The most recent attempted purchase was XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$290.00} and was declined for payment error. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the gift card balance shows {$500.00} on their website XXXX

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
The pre-paid card I was sent expired with about {$150.00} left on it, so it was no longer able to be used. However, the company claims that the " funds do not expire '' and that by contacting customer service, you will be able to get a replacement card and still access your funds ( there is no way to do it from their website, it says you have to call customer service ). Unfortunately, when calling the customer service number on the back of the card, it is an automated system with no options to select for an expired card, and no option to speak to a customer service representative. I was finally able to resolve the issue by selecting the option to " dispute a transaction '', then getting transferred to a customer service representative. This seems like an extremely deceptive practice designed to make it as difficult as possible for people to get access to their money if their card has expired.
