Complaint:
Greetings, Myself and my spouse both Military XXXX XXXX members. 

Company XXXX XXXX, lender reached out to us for re-financing in XX/XX/XXXX. We have provided certain information but never authorized to run a credit report. 

Credit report was obtained without our authorization. 
Credit report was obtained individually on XX/XX/XXXX ( individually ) Credit report was obtained jointly on XX/XX/XXXX ( jointly ) Mortgage was obtained from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) subsequently. 
I requested XXXX XXXX to remove one of the inquiry, but they refused by justifying their pushing and unethical practices. Bottom line is reports were obtained before authorizations.were given. 

This is not about what may or may not impact our credit report, its about obtaining credit report without authorization and without letting us know as consumers. 

even though I did my best to resolve this situation by reaching out to them on XX/XX/XXXX with Mr. XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Executive Office | Resolution Advocate Direct : ( XXXX ) XXXX Fax : ( XXXX ) XXXX Toll Free : ( XXXX ) XXXX Ext. XXXX XXXX Mr. XXXX XXXX refuses to remove my request of XX/XX/XXXX inquiry, furthermore justified that this inquiry was necessary by XXXX XXXX in order to obtain VA re-financing. ( one day apart ) Mr. XXXX XXXX also explained that he did his due diligence and based on the investigation he conducted their company has proper authorizations to pull our credit report. 


Please see attached letter and my correspondence with XXXX XXXX  I am not the only consumer on whom XXXX XXXX used their predatory practices.

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
Hello, I have a credit card with CareCredit ( Synchrony Bank ). When I opened my account I received a credit limit was $ XXXX. In XXXX of 2020 they decreased my credit limit by {$4700.00}. Now my credit score is ruined, my new credit limit is {$250.00} verse {$5000.00}. I never received an email for notice on my statement that they were looking into my account for review or even sent a letter stating they lowered my credit limit. I called CareCredit and only informed me that the company runs random credit checks and have the right to lower my credit limit. I never received any information about why they lowered my credit limit. What makes this situation worse is that my mother was a co-signer. Im afraid this is going to effect her credit score. 

I dont know what to do and just feel like this is not good practice. I would like a real explanation as to why they did this to me. 

Thank you

Complaint:
My husband and I sold our house on XX/XX/XXXX. Our attorney cut a check to Quicken LoansXXXX Mortgage for the payoff balance that we were quoted. Then the perfect storm hit. The mortgage company took money out of Escrow on XX/XX/XXXX to pay the homeowners insurance company, XXXX, which left a balance on the account that we didnt find out about until yesterday from our attorney. After calling and speaking with Quicken Loans and them advising us they have already sent the payment to XXXX and cant recall/void the check because it was for other customers as well. I called XXXX yesterday and they advised they do not have the payment yet. I called Quicken Loans again today to be told we have to pay the {$1000.00} or we are going to default on the loan, even though they are going to get more than that back from XXXX as they are going to reject the payment because the policy is cancelled. We are being charged {$30.00} dollars a day in interest since last Friday and they arent willing to do anything to help us. Can you help me? I dont feel that I should have to pay {$1000.00} up front plus the interest from Friday-today out of my pocket when they are going to get more than that back from XXXX. I dont know what else to do other than come up with the money and wait for a refund, but that doesnt seem to be fair.

Complaint:
I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX taking six courses a semester while working a 40 hour week job. I Iost my job and could not pay my XXXX XXXX credit card ( {$2000.00} ). A few months later after I was situated at a new job, I received a letter for the option to pay a lump sum of {$1400.00} in order to " settle '' my account. I paid this lump sum with the entirety of my paycheck ( s ) in the course of just two weeks! XXXX from the credit card department assisted me in taking these payments. 

I called back to confirm everything was done and I would no longer be harassed by their credit department, was told I was good to go. Of course that was not the case, not only was I still harassed, my credit report showed that just two months later, this account was " Charged off as bad credit '' as opposed to " settled '' ( TransUnion ). I made a complaint and nothing happened. I also noticed the balance of the account was not XXXX, but $ XXXX< ( The amount not paid in the settlement ). Every month it grew higher, it's as if they lied and just took the lump sum and wanted me to pay the rest! 

I called back XXXX XXXX and was now greeted with a XXXX XXXX   named XXXX ( XXXX ext XXXX ), who kept hanging up on me after treating me like a criminal. I reported him to his boss with a recording of the phone call that received over 50 angry comments on XXXX, he did not return my call.

Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I borrowed approximately {$20000.00}, consolidating small loans into one loan in XXXX. Over the years I have paid approximately $ 16,000+ towards this loan. Navient. Need I say more? Despite repeatedly asking over the past 20ish years if I had any other alternative regarding payments, Navient always replied that my only option was a forebearance or pay the past due amount in full. AT NO TIME did they offer me income based repayment. They did this intentionally as they make MUCH more money via forebearances. Had they done so, the loan would be paid off by now. As it stands today, they have my balance at over {$44000.00}. Seriously???? My loans originated in XXXX, but I have lived in XXXX since XXXX. I have filed a complaint with Sen. XXXX XXXX and asked him to intercede, but not sure how much that will help. Navient is now in the process of confirming my employment, etc., which, my being a XXXXXXXX, I know means they are preparing to sue me. This will be patently unfair and highly injurious to me. I do not believe I should have to pay through the teeth for Navient 's ongoing lying, cheating and stealing. I would like to join any lawsuit available, ESPECIALLY filed by the CPFB. Please advise on how I can stop this ongoing harassment and have my loan recalculated from the first time I was given a forebearance and should have been offered income based repayment. Once this is done, I believe they will actually owe me money, as their payment records ( which despite years of requesting, only recently received from the Feds ) show that I have paid nearly the amount borrowed, and my income has never been high. Further, my primary income has been from XXXX for the last 19 years, and very low at that. Thank you very much for your assistance. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Equifax Reporting : XXXX XXXX Acct A balance of {$1300.00} when the balance was Charged Off as of XX/XX/XXXX. The Balance should be XXXX  ( XXXX ). This is a blatant violation. 

*They are also reporting that there have been 2 more charge off dates of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, since the account was closed back in XX/XX/XXXX and is negatively impacting my credit score, making it appear that this is new information. The Charge off dates Reported seem to correspond with the dates that I sent in Disputes. This is totally inaccurate and misleading as well as re-aging the account inaccurately. 

* I have also requested an Original Signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to XXXX XXXX. Which I have never received. 

* Invalid Account # XXXX Listed I have disputed it in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX and all they do is update the reported date and never fix the inaccurate and misleading information and causing my credit to look as if it's a brand new issue. The XXXX account was closed back in XX/XX/XXXX and not sure why Equifax is not reporting it correctly and they are refusing to send me any reason why. 

All of these items are a Violation to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA
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:
Nelnet services the bulk of my federal student loans. This company has been allocating my loans in ways contrary to what is listed in my monthly statements and payment schedule for the entire time I've had the loans. When I contacted them, which I have to do every month because the auto payments just happened to be allocated towards my lowest interest loans to have it adjusted to match what is in my payment schedule, they tell me that they have to put in a special payment request to do so, and often, this payment request is not honored and I have to contact them through their chat service to make an additional request to have it fixed. I repeatedly asked for proof that such request was being made and to understand why the payments weren't being allocated as suggested in the monthly statement or payment schedule, both of which are available in my portal, but they said that such requests were not accessible to me and they couldn't share any internal information. This was and is a huge burden to me to attempt to have my loans allocated towards the higher interest groups, or at the very least in the sums as stated in my original payment schedule or even the monthly statements. I repeatedly asked that my loans did not get " advanced due dates '' and almost always clicked the box to not advance due date ( once I figured out what that did ) when I made additional payments, yet, the loans still get out of sync. The secretive and nontransparent loan allocation process is always in Nelnets favor and to my financial detriment. Furthermore, the auto amount withdrawn monthly seems to be reduced at random times without my consent to push out the time frame I'm paying my loans and thus interest to them. I did not consent to this and again, is a non transparent action Nelnet takes that is in their favor and to my disadvantage. I feel like I have no control and that they are not accountable. I've paid on time always and I'm very attentive, which only means I see the re-allocations and have to spend much more of my time than I would like attempting to have it resolved. The lack of transparency and sneaky re-allocation drives me crazy. I don't see why this company should be allowed to profit when taking advantage of student loans in this way. I have documentation of some of my chats to prove that I repeatedly requested the allocations to be fixed because the portal overwrites whatever they've previously done. Again, no transparency.
