Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
I contacted Navient in the hopes of lowering my monthly payments from {$260.00} to {$130.00}. I made sure I contacted them before the loan was even due to ensure proper time was given to handle the issue. I was placed on a payment plan and my first payment was drafted from my checking account on XXXX/XXXX/2017. It was agreed that subsequent payments would be automatically deducted each month on the XXXX. I checked my Navient account a few days later and was told my account is past due and I will incur late fees. When I called back to inquire about this I was told the following : 1 ) I did n't pay the full amount despite them seeing the payment plan ; 2 ) the person who placed me on the payment plan was unauthorized to do so ; 3 ) they admitted that the program was n't explained well to me and that I would have to wait for upper management to approve my payment plan which could take three months ; 4 ) even though I would incur late fees, they would not be reimbursement even after my good faith effort of paying every month ; 5 ) I would have to make three successful and consecutive payments before the plan is approved, which was not explained at the time of setting up the payment plan ; and 6 ) my account may go into default despite paying every month BUT I should n't worry for now because I am only a few days past due. I was stunned by the miscommunication, lack of professionalism and sheer incompetence of their customer service representatives. I 'm not trying to avoid paying my loans, I simply want an option that 's more affordable. Considering that, I feel that there should be better information available customers and better care on behalf of the reps when dealing with these types of circumstances.

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

Complaint:
I recently opened a Premier High Yield Savings Account with CIT Bank. I received an email on XX/XX/XXXX that account had been funded. I received my first statement with CIT Bank and the total amount of funds sent to open account was short by $ XXXX. I tried logging in to my account ( I had logged in previously, shortly after account was funded ) and I believe the correct amount was shown in account. When I went to log in today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received message to call customer service. I did so. Customer Service told me I could not access my account and that a " specialist '' would be calling me in 3-5 days. I asked to speak to supervisor and she said same. They would  not give me any information on why a specialist needed to speak with me. It is very upsetting to me that I have to wait 3-5 days to find out what is happening with my monies, not to mention that if I needed the money quickly, I can not have access.

Company: SB Holdings, Inc.
State: NC
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
Five years agoon XXXX XXXX, 2012, my wife ( a XXXX XXXX ) and I signed off on an installment plan loan with a XXXX XXXX  specialized lender, XXXX XXXX. The loan amount of {$7800.00} was to be paid back in 120 monthly installments over a period of 10 years. The interest rate of 12.5 % was set by the lender and presented to us as a fair deal. The monthly payments of {$11000.00} appeared to be an amount that my wife and I could afford at that time. The loan was presented to us by the renowned local XXXX dealer, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, in XXXX, NC. We did not receive proper counseling about the details of the actual interest payments versus premium payoff that we would face over the next decade. In all fairness, the total amount of expected interest payments was listed in the contract that we signed. My wife and I were sure that we would afford larger monthly payments than the required {$110.00}, and would therefore be bale to pay off the loan much earlier that the anticipated 10 year loan period. Unfortunately, we did not pay attention to the fact that the industry a-typically long duration of the loan would entail paying mostly interests in the first 5 years of the loan. Only today, and after many phone calls with the lender did we learn that a 10 year loan was highly unfavorable for our specific purposes, needs, and financial situation. Almost 5 years into the loan, we have already paid over {$6700.00} and still owe a {$5200.00} payoff sum. Had we been counseled more thoroughly, we would have certainly opted for a 60 month loan instead, and would by now almost have paid off the total premium and interests. The original loan details were made in bad faith and took advantage of our eagerness to buy a good quality XXXX for my wife 's career outlook as a XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Paramount Recovery Systems, L.P.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
For over a year now I've been disputing a charge on my credit report, with the 3 credit bureaus as not belonging to me. 

What happens is that the item shows on one credit bureau, I dispute and say it is not mine, it is removed and 2 or 3 months later the same item shows up on 2nd or 3rd ( different ) credit bureau from a different collection agency. 

This pattern is repeated until the item shows on each credit bureau. So I see the item on my credit, I dispute. It's removed only to pop up at a different credit bureau 2 months later. 

The debt is for a medical bill, from 2015 ( 5 years ago ) for {$220.00}. No phone calls have been made to me, no collection demand payment letters have been sent to me. 

My credit score has a result been bouncing up and down from good to fair or worse. 
e.g. Last month my credit score went from a XXXX to XXXX ( XXXX point drop ). 

Please let me know what I can do to stop this harassment. I called the collection agency this morning who is currently reporting this item the 2nd time this morning ( 1st call was approx 2 and 1/2 weeks ago ) only to be told that they are looking at the dispute. 

The name of the collection agency currently showing this item is Paramount Recovery Systems - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX - address?

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
This started with the second stimulus check. I received a text message stating that the bank had given me a XXXX dollars deposit due to the fact my account was overdrawn and the bank had to show I received the whole check. I was never told it would be any different if you have money been deposit. but a month later they take the credit back with a {$35.00} overdraft fee. In the last check deposited I had made a deposit of {$200.00} They put in credit and then made credit {$250.00} Now they are taking back the XXXX plus the XXXX free credit was given XX/XX/XXXX. It will be deducted on XX/XX/XXXX. I have a second account that would cover any overdrafts. I do not understand why they should care about me getting a full check It was my understanding the check was to help. But this way I cause more problems. This just makes me short on paying my bills This month if my situation was different. I would think This would be told to the public before the checks are issued. Wells Fargo Bank is my bank. I have not heard of any other bank doing this. I can explain better on the phone.

So i have been trying every number of Citizens Bank i could to try and get this resolved and i have yet to speak to someone.
