Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: SC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't temporarily postpone payments

Complaint:
I have been charged an interest rate on my student loan of 6.8 % for the last 5 years. I have repeatedly asked for a lower rate that was on par with rates within the free market and have been told no every single time. Moreover, the people that I have spoken with have stated repeatedly that it is the government that sets the rate and they have no control over how much I pay. My full repayment is approximately {$580.00} per month. This is almost as much as my home loan payment and considerably more than my car payment. More alarming is that I have been charged this rate of interest at a time when my car loan rate is 2.1 % and home loan rate is 3.75 %. I am currently paying interest only and at XXXX years old, I can not see a pathway to ever pay off the {$44000.00} I owe to for the " education '' I received from University XXXX XXXX ( another matter as it is a for profit organization ). I am a single mother of a XXXX year old son whom I have not been able to save a single dollar for his education and he will be saddled with my loan if something were to ever happen to me. I was scammed from the very beginning from the counselors at the University XXXX XXXX to the Navient collection process. I have a nearly worthless XXXX and am at a loss as to how to remedy the situation despite my many conversations with Navient. This is unconscionable and as a tax paying citizen I want to pay back what I owe, but at this rate, it will be nearly impossible. I started my higher education to improve my life as well as my son 's life and at the end of the day, I am saddled with a worthless degree and a loan repayment plan that is not even remotely manageable. I would like to add that at no time did Navient ever take into account any other bills that I have, like so many other students, such as home loan, car payment, utilities, child care, etc ... Additionally, if I am so much as a week late with a payment, Navient calls me repeatedly on my cell phone while I am at work. I have had to block them as they have called me so much and I have not missed a single payment, ever ...

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
I have been fighting, at my own expense, mortgage servicing fraud since XX/XX/XXXX after obtaining a high interest only loan from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 
Because the home was severely underwater I was not able to refinance and was told I could not apply for a modification because I was in XXXX XXXX bankruptcy. Eventually I was approved for a XXXX XXXX Streamline Modification and made the three trial payments. I was sent a Modification Contract that included approximately {$28000.00} for escrow not owed and for interest payments that had not been credited. The servicers, XXXX then XXXX XXXX would not voluntarily correct the errors and I spent about two years fighting them in the Bankruptcy Court. They could not explain how my escrow could be XXXX due in XXXX XXXX but I owed {$14000.00} in XXXX XXXX after they paid {$1600.00} tax in XXXX XXXX. They more than doubled my monthly payment and would not voluntarily correct it and would not let me proceed with the XXXX XXXX Streamline Modification because I would not sign it with the errors in it that would have illegally obligated me for an extra {$28000.00} not owed. 
After my bankruptcy was completed I applied for a HAMP Modification with the newest servicer, Caliber Home loans. I was assisted by XXXX XXXX XXXX, a HUD authorized Housing Counselor. XXXX XXXX XXXX assisted in filing all the necessary forms and afterwards we would receive a letter from Caliber each month asking for a completed application, tax request form, and most recent income verification. XXXX XXXX XXXX repeatedly submitted the requested documents and asked me for new profit and loss statements each month to accommodate Caliber 's monthly requests. Although all of the requested documents had been sent and resent I received certified mail on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX from Caliber 's attorneys, XXXX and XXXX ; giving me 10 days notice of a Trustee Sale. I contacted XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX and she contacted XXXX and was told that since all of the required documents were not submitted 25 days prior to the scheduled sale date, even though they had been, Caliber could not and would not stop the sale. XXXX XXXX told me that it was an underhanded and unreasonable action and that the 10 day notice does not meet the 30 day notice required by the Virginia Code. She suggested that I file a complaint with the CFPB and contact an attorney to file for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy Protection. At that time I was being treated at The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital in XXXX, VA and I had to interrupt and postpone my treatment to return home, find and retain counsel to file an emergency petition to save my family home. On Monday XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received four identical letters from Caliber, dated XXXX XXXX ; thanking me for sending the additional documents and advising me they still needed additional documents to proceed with the modification review.

Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
After applying for seeking help from another bank where I found out after the fact that I needed to refinance a balloon payment that back denied me and I 'm still not sure why but I moved forward and applied for and FHA at another bank being it was where my mortgage is held. ( both ) Realizing the time restraints I was under I informed this bank that I only had until the XXXX of XXXX. 
I came to with a co borrower because I knew that my income would be a challenge. After looking everything over the banker thought it was a real chance that everything would work out. Now 2mons later after moving into the underwriter phase the loan was denied, We were devastated we were also lied to told the reason was because the borrower lived out of town. We knew that was not true after going online to the FHA website guidelines. 
Please note my co borrower as myself did not every receive a denial letter in the mail. I went on XXXX and had the branch manager email me the reason for the denial which had nothing to do with the co borrow living out of state. It was because you can only have one FHA on the books at one time. They should have known both mortgages are at the same bank. ( 2months wasted ) Now my credit rating is starting to take a hit. )

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: MD
Product: Payday loan
Issue: Payment to acct not credited

Complaint:
CashNetUSA is charging late fees and noting my account as delinquent, but they are not debiting my checking account on the dates agreed upon. Since CashNet has not abided by the contract by not debiting my account as agreed, and as a result are adding interest to my loan and causing and declaring my loan is in default, I am requesting the account closed with a final payment of {$210.00}. They can not say I am in default 73 days when they do not perform the automatic debit as contracted. I took out the loan for travel to XXXX funerals in XXXX 2015 and relied on the terms of the contract to withdraw the agreed upon amount. What they are attempting to do now is steal money and tarnish my credit rating in the form of fees and a default notice. There is a deposit of over {$3000.00} on the XXXX and last day of each month, so CashNet has no grounds for late fees or default notices.

****Previous small claims case is dismissed due to intentions to file federal complaint if correction is not made. All communications will be used to establish basis for federal complaint******** I have tried diligently to communicate to the CRA that there were multiple unauthorized inquiries into my credit that were a result of a rogue employee at an automotive dealership. I have provided evidence that I did not authorize the inquiries and even showed an email that the dealership admitted to the unauthorized submission to the lenders and categorized the submissions as accidental. I have filed a complaint with the FTC and asked the companies directly to withdraw their inquires.CRA has blatantly disregarded my request to have the inquiries withdrawn despite the evidence that has been provided.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
Sent this message to Wells Fargo on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX on their own contact us page. Your information says there will be no fees for ATM withdrawals for international withdrawals for premier checking holders. You have incorporated fees in the exchange rate that you are using for converting the XXXX that I withdrew. The transaction here you charged me an exchange rate of XXXX XXXX. On the same date XXXX XXXX converted transaction charged on my credit card with an exchange rate of XXXX dollars/euro. In addition to this transaction I had another ATM transaction for XXXX XXXX on XXXX at an ATM and a conversion of XXXX euros in your retail Branch office in XXXX Minnesota. The conversion in the branch offie the Bank officer told me there would be no fees for getting XXXX as long as I was a bank customer. These claims of no fees is disingenuous when you know you set the exchange rate to include a fee component. I believe you should self report to CFPB I followed up with the bank again in XXXX XXXX as they had not adequately responded to me on the issue and basically gave me the run around by referring me to the foreign currency department of Wells Fargo with no specific reference to a banker to direct my issue too. They did follow up in XXXX XXXX and I received a call from XXXX XXXX who could not comprehend my issue and escalated it to a supervisor. I do n't recall the supervisors name but he basically said there was no fee incorporated in the exchange rate and that there was nothing they could do for me. I do truly believe there is a fee incorporated in their foreign currency conversion rate and probably would not have a problem with it other than they sold me on a premier checking account on the basis that a certain number of these transactions per month would be without fees and I believe they are not standing behind their promises and disclosures. Maybe they should not promise things that they will not follow through on.

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
Good morning, In XXXX of this year I noticed fraudulent charges on my XXXX XXXX credit card. I called the credit card company and advised them of the charges and closed the account. It was quite obvious to see that the charges were not mine. I have a very consistent record of purchases, dollar amounts and purchase locations. The phone representative said he could easily see the charges were not made by me. He told me the card was closed immediately and that no more charges would be put on my account. I told him I did not want another credit card reissued. I then paid my legitimate card purchases balance to take the account to XXXX. I received a confirmation letter that the account was closed, dated XXXX ( letter attached ) In XXXX I had to contact the XXXX XXXX again as they were trying to collect from me the fraudulent charges. The XXXX XXXX phone rep stated the account was closed and they were investigating the charges and I would not be charged any additional fees. I received another letter stating the account was closed dated XXXX ( letter attached ). 

On XXXX ( letter attached ) I received another letter stating the fraudulent chargers were being investigated and no payments would be required. 

On XXXX I was shocked to receive another bill from XXXX XXXX with a NEW charge on XXXX and late fees and interest charges. ( statement attached ) How can they charge me all these items for an account that has been closed since XXXX? I feel this is an attempt at XXXX abuse. This matter has caused me tremendous stress and worry.

Complaint:
Initially in XXXX XXXX i was notified of XXXX fraud applications submitted through SYN financial for Walmart and Lowes which resulted in XXXX inquiries being placed on my credit report. I received help to initiate a fraud claim with the creditor and was informed the applications had been declined and this info would be forwarded to all XXXX bureaus to have removed from my credit file. We allowed the 90 day time frame to do so and received no help or communication from Synchrony and in XXXX of XXXX we called to get an update on why they were still reporting on my credit file ; I was informed that no claim for fraud was ever submitted and the process would have to be resubmitted. Informed again by rep from Synchrony, once fraud claim initiated, the info would be fwd to the XXXX bureaus to have removed ; I began to work with an investigator from XXXX who helped me to also began disputing this info with XXXX and they informed us they could not remove the inquiries due to the creditor having to issue a claim to have removed. They stated until we received either confirmation in a letter to send over via fax or the creditor submitted dispute to remove because of fraud that the inquiries would stay as is. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we attempted to get another update on the claim that was submitted for fraud with SYN financial and was informed for a 3rd time the claim was never initiated and would have to be sent over again. No logical explanation was given for why the claim has n't gone through, if I have called to report twice and why also no letter can be sent out to confirm that i have been a victim and the applications have been rejected due to fraud. It has been almost a year and nothing has been done from Synchrony Financial or XXXX to assist me with getting my identity restored and I am left to figure this all out. The creditor is never helpful or can give any informative info about all the issues I have had and even after requesting to speak with a Supervisor ; I received the same unhelpful info that they will try to resubmit the claim again. I did my part by following up from the very beginning and continue to follow up with this creditor to give me the help i deserve and have received nothing but information that does n't make sense.
