Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: AZ
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I just wrote up a XXXX description and it is now ALL GONE!!!!! THANKS!! I really appreciate wasting my time on writing information you request, and when I continue, there is pop ups, then I close them, and now the page goes somewhere, I go back and have to start all over!!! 

I will be brief, since I wasted my time already. 
I am being harassed by Educational Computer Systems , Inc. ( ECSI ). Upon getting numerous postal mail, I sent a certified letter to them telling them to resolve the situation to take me to court. Otherwise and more correspondence would be an act of aggressive harassment. Which they have had done a few times. I told the I do not owe ANY money and that I can prove, instead I get the attitude when I called that they are the " FEDERAL GOVERNMENT '' and that I have to pay, because that 's what it says on a piece of paper or computer screen. I know the federal government is bunch of basket cases, ( whole reason why I have to write this ) and very incompetent as well. With this being said, there is other debt from the student loan that I do not owe money and can prove it. However, it goes on deaf ears and I am suffering the consequence of the perfect example of incompetence in the workplace. 
Furthermore, if you look at the attach document of " Statement of Account ''. If someone with half a brain that understand how XXXX, then why did a senator not see it, when I bluntly told him? It states right on there, {$550.00} for XXXX or {$330.00} for XXXX credit hours. I show credit hours of XXXX! Nonetheless, $ XXXX $ XXXX {$880.00}. Now in reality, I should have been paying {$330.00} for the XXXX credit hours at {$3900.00}. Instead I owe {$6300.00} and an additional {$360.00}, in order to continue! 
You have had time to look over these documents. YOU, meaning the GOVERNMENT! I even went as far as contacting the FBI, but still since I am one person, I am disregarded!

Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint:
I have recently contacted Campus Partners to discuss available options regarding my monthly payment. While I am current on my monthly payments I explained my current financial situation and my concern to fulfill my future monthly obligations. Ultimately, I expressed my intentions to be proactive prior to accumulating missed payments in the future then continuing to fall further behind. Each representative had expressed similarly that they can appreciate my effort to reframe from missing future payments, yet there are no additional repayment options available for me. They continued to explain that if I was currently 31 days or more past due other options would be available at that time. If they are capable of offering other payment options after 31 days past due, they certainly can make those same options available to those that are struggling to avoid late payments. Therefore, after different attempts to voice my concern with various representatives, Campus Partners will still not provide me with an alternative repayment option to avoid missing payments due to my financial situation. 
Since graduating in 2013, each of my federal and private student loans has now transferred to repayment status. I have continued to place my federal loans in forbearance in order to afford the private loans and other monthly expenses. After graduation, the income I accumulated from my employment was insufficient to pay for each private student loan I acquired over my collegiate years. Therefore, I was compelled to utilize the brief forbearance period allowed which is no longer available. Over the last few years, I have been blessed to obtain advancements in my career, which have generated increased wages. Even though my income has increased, the payment obligation for each monthly expense and student loan continues to exceed my total monthly income. Currently I receive about XXXX a month after taxes. My total expense which include current student loans being repaid is about XXXX. If I forgo other monthly expenses and limit my grocery/personal budget, the total expenses could be reduced to about XXXX. Even if the forbearance option was available, I would prefer not to delay my obligations. In conclusion, I would greatly benefit from lowering my monthly private student loan payment.

Company: FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.
State: HI
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint:
We took out a loan with First Hawaiian Bank for 36 months. Because we paid monthly onetime periodically we were offered a deferred payment option as a gift for paying on time. Particularly this was given around XXXX. This was promoted as a good opportunity for the customer but as it turned out this was a tactic for the bank to charge us another year of payments and thereby charge another $ XXXX thereafter because they charged interest everyday on the balance when deferment was offered. This is a deceptive business practice whereby the bank gives the impression the payment will be collected at the end of the 36 months when in all actuality they are charging interest daily which means the customer ultimately pays XXXX the cost of the original loan. This is a unethical business practice whereby the bank can extort extra charges, interest and fees against customers with a good payment history. This is very deceptive how the calculate the added interest opposed to added the deferred payment to the end which already includes the interest when the payment would have been paid. Shame on FHB.

I had to take time out of my busy life to put a security alert on my credit file and investigate this further.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: APR or interest rate

Complaint:
I received a bill from my credit card company in XXXX. I paid the statement balance in full before the XXXX payment due date. On my next statement that I have received, with a payment date of XXXX/XXXX/2016, I am being charged interest on the paid off balance from XXXX. They are telling me that interest was still acrueing (? ) from the XXXX statement closing date until the day I paid it in XXXX - " Residual interest ''. I have other credit cards, and they do n't do that when I pay off the balance. I used a HELOC earlier in the summer to pay off credit card debt, and none of the cards tried to get extra interest money when I paid off the balances. Not sure what has changed in the banking industry that they think they can get away with this.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Cash advance fee

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/15 I mistakenly sent a check to my BOA credit card for $ XXXX.I had intended to send this check to another credit card company, having paid my account in full on the card in question on XXXX/XXXX/15. Realizing my error on XXXX/XXXX/15 I logged in online, confirming a credit balance of {$4400.00} on my account. I utilized their interaccount transfer function on the website to transfer the credit to my BOA checking account. On XXXX/XXXX/15 BOA charged me {$220.00} as a " cash advance " fee and subsequently has charged me {$5.00} in interest on XXXX/XXXX/15. I have discussed this with them, through XXXX levels of supervisors. It is acknowledged that no charges or interest should have been charged, but they insist that I must send them a check for {$4400.00} ( which is not owed ) before they can make a correction and later return that same amount. I refused to send such monies for what is an acknowledged bookkeeping error on their part. There is no reference in the interaccount transfer section of the website that any fees would be charged for transfer of a credit.I have been told that I have no further remedies available through their customer service department.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I am selling my home. Bank of America holds the note. When I requested a payoff there was a miscellaneous fee totaling {$1700.00} attached to my payoff. This fee was not a pending mortgage payment or any type of lien, past due bill, tax or outstanding cost associated with the property. It is a fee that they could not explain and the person on the phone even described as strange. When the call was made to Bank of America mortgage division they could not explain what this cost was or had any documents to support how it came about. I have a pending closing that will be hampered by this. They would not escalate the issue for a faster turn around and said it would be 10 days to respond with a letter which would be after closing. Bank of America is demanding the additional {$1700.00} which is not even part of my original deed and has nothing documented that it is valid cost associated with my loan.

I have paid my mortgage to Carrington Mortgage company between the XXXX, every month for the past 7-8 months. I have a history of paying on time, never late. My XXXX payment was no different and paid via electronic bill payer from my XXXX account on the XXXX. Any payment received after the XXXX of the month is considered late. In XXXX, I received a past due notice and late fee from Carrington. I immediately called and faxed proof of payment to Carrington from XXXX bank and followed up with a call. Today, I received another past due note and late charge from Carrington. I immediately called and spoke with a representative. I asked to speak with a supervisor when she said my letter and proof of payment was not adequate to request the late fee be removed, it 's their policy, she said. She asked for copies of my banking statements. I stated that they have adequate documentation that the mortgage was paid by me, before the XXXX by my financial institution. I informed the representative that I have already been preapproved to transfer my mortgage to XXXX because of the awful customer service. My loan was originally with XXXX until Carrington purchased it. I have had nothing but problems since the bought the loan. This organization operates like a preditary collection agency, not a mortgage company. Their voice recording in calling informs callers they are a debt collection agency ( mini marinda ).
