Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Complaint:
The car was repossessed due to financial hardship and natural disaster. The amount due on the vehicle was partially obtained through auction. The remaining amount was sold to a debt collector ( XXXX XXXX ). That remaining amount was settled, paid and issued for deletion. I contacted San Tander consumer to try and update the account with my letter of satisfaction. I requested that the account be removed from my credit report as they have managed to obtain the money owed on the car. They replied and stated they will do no such thing and hinted that I was asking them to do something illegal. They would not accept my letter of satisfaction of payment and would not work with me on the matter. I explained that if they received the money it should not be an issue to update my credit report if not a full deletion of the account. They said they will not do it. This account reflects on both my wife 's and I credit report.

Company: AES/PHEAA
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 been enrolled in the Public Student Loan Forgiveness Program since 2012. I have reliably made monthly payments ( via automatic withdrawal from all lenders ) and have contacted fedloan servicing multiple times to check on progress. Two years ago, I received an incorrect qualifying payment count that was off by one year. I was told to complete the Employment Certification Form to " repair '' this error. I completed this last year ( my third one ) and received a follow-up count that was, again, off by one year. After speaking to a manager on the phone for over 1.5 hours, he went through all of the payments that I did not receive credit for since 2012, finding multiple inconsistencies ( example : I was not given credit for multiple payments, despite having bank statements stating otherwise ). I ask for each of these months to be reviewed one year ago and again three months ago, though no updated, corrected count has been issued. This is incredibly distressing and concerning, as we are talking large sums of money that negatively impact my family.

Complaint:
I am having a problem with {$250.00} that I sent to a friend on XX/XX/, to pay for some products he picked up for me from XXXX XXXX. I sent the money through my XXXX checking account using Zelle, which I have done many times before, and he has never received the money into his bank account and it's been almost a month now. I put in a claim with XXXX and they said because the telephone number used was correct for the correct person and the money went out of my account there was nothing that they could do for me. My friend has an account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I was directed to call Zelle on XXXX which I did but they won't help they directed me back to XXXX on the call. After that call to the Zelle number and being transferred back to XXXX, I have tried numerous times to call Zelle back at same number to no avail. They only give automated instructions to call my bank. I can not believe that {$250.00} is just floating around out there somewhere and Zelle won't even looking up to see that the transaction came to them and that they transferred it to the XXXX  XXXX XXXX account. I am a senior and I don't have money to just loose. Please give me some direction. I will of course never use Zelle again, I'm going back to writing checks or paying with cash only. Zelle is not to be trusted. so many cheating people and businesses out there. Shame on them.
