I am a XXXX school graduate and my student loans are serviced through navient. I have been in deferment many times for very long periods of time.

There have been times where my loan is past due and instead of a phone call or letter i get an email that says reply yes to enter payments into deferment. That is a quick solution but interest is still acruing.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I signed up for the XXXX Amex Surpass Credit Card. They agreed to give me XXXX XXXX points if I spent {$3000.00} in the first three months. I hit the {$3000.00} spend amount on XX/XX/XXXX. I called Amex in XXXX, and they said the XXXX points would show in my account 8 weeks after I hit my spend ( on XX/XX/XXXX ). They confirmed that I had hit the {$3000.00} spend. 

I called AMEX on XX/XX/XXXX, because the XXXX points had still not hit my account. They said they were escalating my case and that someone would contact me in 48 hours ( no one ever called ). They also said the points would hit for sure by XX/XX/XXXX, and that they would give me XXXX points for my trouble ( the XXXX points never showed up ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX points and the XXXX bonus points had still not arrived. I called AMEX again today, and they said they were escalating my case to the supervisor. They confirmed that I would get my points, but offered me no timeline. They said that numerous people are having the same issue. 

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I 'm losing confidence in their ability to follow through. Every time I call I get promised something ( e.g., we 'll contact you in 48 hours, you 'll get your XXXX points for your trouble, you 'll get your XXXX points by XX/XX/XXXX ), and they have never followed through on their promise.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I'm currently in a dispute with XXXX  and XXXX  for deleting my XXXX XXXX credit card accounts from my file without my permission, by starting internal disputes of their own with my creditor and then deleting the account without my knowledge. Then I certified mailed them letters last month stating that I did not give anyone permission to view my account on XX/XX/19 by XXXX  or XX/XX/19 from SYNCB/SAMS. About 2 weeks later I received a response from one of the bureaus saying that the inquiries will not be removed and to contact the creditor. I've certified mailed the two creditors informing them that these inquiries were not authorized, but the creditor has yet to remove them. These unauthorized inquiries are dragging down my credit score. I'm having enough problems trying to keep the credit bureaus from deleting positive accounts from my credit profile and beating down my score even more.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IL
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:
For the past 6-9 month I have made my Navient Payments in full according to my online portal in the amount of {$180.00}. I add a note every month to spread my payment across all loans in full. Every month my account shows that I am behind {$100.00}. Every month I call Navient to fix the issue and I get the same response. " We ( Navient ) didn't apply your payment across all of your loans ( even though I added a note to do so ), that's why its showing a pass due amount. Navient then sends a request to another one of their departments to spread my payments evenly. I go through this every month for 6-8 months. 

This month my online portal is the same {$180.00}. I make the payment and again I am behind {$100.00}. I call and I am told my new loan amount is {$290.00} and I am behind {$100.00}, again. I was not yet told that my amount has been raised to the new number of {$290.00}. My online portal still says {$180.00}. I haven't gotten a clear answer on why my current pass due of {$100.00} with the new payment of {$290.00} is equal to the previous pass due of {$100.00} when my monthly payments were {$180.00}. 

There are two issues here. 
1. Every Month I make a payment in full Navient doesn't spread my loan equally even after I am told for now on they will spread my loan out equally. And even though I attach a note to each check to spread my loan out equally. If I were to send my check in and not check my account this would have drastically hurt my credit score. This is an obvious practice that they will continue to do. I have been told they will fix it by multiple Navient representatives who I will list below. 

2. I made my usual payment and once again pass due. But this time its because my payment was increased and I was not notified. The increase was not posted on my Navient online portal. Why is the current pass due amount with a new payment equal to previous pass due amounts that I have been making of a different payment? Why is Naveint continuingly trying to get an extra {$100.00}? 

I have spoken with : 1.Someone with the E Code XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX on XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. XXXX  XXXX on XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX on XXXX 6. XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. Many more prior to XXXX Attachments explained : Monthly payments should be the same each month. If you look at my attached copies of payments via the Navient portal, you can see timely payments from me and repeated adjustments to fix the issue from Navient, AFTER I called about the issue. The most recent previous months Navient still had to make adjustments but they didn't show in the portal this time, they covered their mistakes up.

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc
State: TX

Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
In accordance to FCRA Section 609, these accounts was  further disputed in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX 2017. Ad Astra Recovery did not respond to initial dispute within 30 days as allowed by the FCRA. All dates in which I have stated I do not have account with AD Astra Recovery.  They have continued to report inaccurate information. In accordance, they are bound by FCRA to remove alleged debt from that is being reported. It is now XXXX XXXX, 2017 and past 60 days when these accounts were initially  disputed. Ad Astra Recovery Service has continued to attempt to collect debt that they know is not valid and not able to be verified. Multiple disputes in regards to this issue have been filed over this, including a previous dispute with CFPB. In addition, Ad Astra Recovery closed the account with XXXX than it was reopened. They have blatantly broken the law as they relate to FDCPA and FCRA guidelines. On more than one occasion, I have tried to resolve this issue with them but they are refusing to follow the law in regards to this issue. The accounts need to be removed. They also stated that documentation was mailed to me which is false. Nothing since they placed the account on my reports has been mailed to me. The second issue is that it had been has been proven that the accounts are not valid, no information was provided to verify this account. They state that they are about professionalism but it is obvious that they are not. They have been deceitful, dishonest, and unprofessional in the manner that they have handled this issue from day one. I  feel that the only course of action is to file a civil suit which my attorneys have drafted up and will present with my signed petition on XXXX/17. I am tired of dealing with this company and this issue. I will also be filing a complaint with the Attorney General as it is within my rights. They have made this process long and hard. Also they could not verify definitively that the accounts are mine and that they belonged on my credit. This is what I mean by dishonest and unprofesisonal business ethics and practices. They have cost me money in this process of disputing with them and this is getting out of hand. They stated that they have a right to collect but they indeed DO NOT by rights and provisions provided to consumers under FDCPA and FCRA. This harassment and blatant disregard for the law is what is have me want to seek damages from Ad Astra Recovery with filing legal suit against them.
