Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
I signed up for an American Express XXXX credit card with an awards points offer. I met the spend limit but my awards points are " locked '' because my account is under review per the awards team members I have spoken with. They told me my points could be locked for XXXX8 weeks during the review. I am trying to use XXXX of the XXXX points I have to book travel with my family. I do n't understand why it would take XXXX8 weeks to verify my spend on the card. They do n't expect me to take XXXX8 weeks to verify the charges and make payment when they send me a statement. 
When I called to talk with American Express about this issue they told me that 's just the way it is and there was no one I could talk to about it.

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
The previous mortgage service company never honored a XXXX loan modification of reducing my rate from XXXX to 5 %. At or near the end of XXXX, they agreed to reduce the rate to some crazy low number, write off excess deferred interest and drop our payment. We never received confirmation of the changes and they sold our mortgage to Caliber Home loans. We received a letter from Caliber in XXXX XXXX that said we should expect a welcome packet. We never received this. I tried calling the phone number attached to the paper but since I did n't have an account number, I kept getting disconnected. After MONTHS of not receiving a mortgage statement, I assumed my previous servicer had done what was requested initially and reapplied the excess payments and paid our mortgage ahead by a year. At the end of XXXX, I came home to a letter attached to my front door that stated the property appeared to be vacant and to call a number for XXXX if it was not vacant. I called and let them know the house was obviously not vacant as there was furniture, food etc in the house. I asked her who was responsible for saying my house was vacant, she said the mortgage company. I asked her who the company was, she indicated she did n't know. She would not provide me with a phone number or even a name. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX came into my home, changed my locks and winterized my home without my knowledge or consent. Their was a phone number left on my front door and I was FINALLY able to contact the mortgage company. I spoke with a XXXX XXXX at XXXX who seemed very apologetic, did not offer me an explanation and gave me the code to the lock box with my keys in it to MY HOUSE. We do not occupy the house full time right now but we still have a lot of things in the house that is our private property. On XXXX, we were looking for some specific items and started to realize things were missing. XXXX not only came into our home unauthorized, they stole about {$5000.00} worth of tools and coins. They placed locks on our lawn equipment so that we could not keep our yard manicured. We filed a police report with XXXX XXXX police, the following day, I contacted XXXX XXXX again. Asked her the status of my loan. The house is NOT foreclosed, no sale date pending but is in the starting process of foreclosure. We have NOT received a mortgage statement since the last servicer! There has been NO indication of a foreclosure. She only wanted to refer me to customer service. I do n't even have the phone number, only her direct number. We contacted XXXX at XXXX and they would not provide us any info about the person who entered our home and stole our things and destroyed our house.

Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
I do n't know whats going on over at PNC bank, but this place has notoriously slammed me with the most obscene overdraft charges. Once again, here I am, pouring my heart out for the sake of not having to XXXX XXXX XXXX to get by. I woke up to XXXX $ in OD charges. Let me start by saying, I can not fathom how this is legal. Common sense would say that i would pay a penalty percentage, not XXXX $ per item. Regardless, PNC has once again stacked charges and waited till after business hours to process them. All in the name of scamming money from the people that do n't have it. I 'm not sure where to start, but this is wrong and needs to end. I do n't have those kind of means. Waking up to an account that negative XXXX $ short ( of which is XXXX in OD charges from your own bank ). How is someone on a poverty level income suppose to correct this?

Company: ACS Education Services
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint:
During my last recertification of IBR, ACS reported my gross income as {$XXXX} using my paystubs. They said they based it on a 12-month work period. The only problem with this is that I am a XXXX and XXXX only work from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX in our XXXX. My income should have been based on around XXXX instructional days. Also, XXXX do not earn on XXXX break, XXXX break, XXXX break and holidays in between, including training days for XXXX. 

As a XXXX, sometimes I get to work as a XXXX. I may earn the first year XXXX rate working as a XXXX, but nowhere near XXXX as ACS claims I earned. My concern with this unearned amount reported by ACS is that it may influence the standard repayment plan to a higher amount. ACS claims that they ca n't go back now because it is too late. I requested them to put the amount back into the loan, but they wo n't do it. This amount is now past due even though I am under IBR and recertified with them. While I tried recertifying, I had paid a previous standard repayment due to my late recertification. ACS denied my IBR forms claiming I did not select the correct check mark. I feel ACS failed to help me 3 times within 45 days to help me correct the issue by delaying the acceptance in order for my account to get hit with another standard repayment plan due to lateness and collect a little more from me. I want the Bureau to investigate this further to find the discrepancies that appear in my account.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL
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:
Navient is the lender for several of my loans. My original loans were never properly credited. I was always told about deferment or forebearance when I was employed in XXXX working for the XXXX in the XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I would have been beyond eligible programs for repayments of {$0.00} because my salary was {$XXXX} hr for family of XXXX. When I finally got introduced tip repayment program and how it would work for me I got a {$0.00} payment but reapply every yr was a process. Either my forms werent received so ended up with missed payments. Offered deferment until I sent them in again. Once I was denied for missing spouse information, when Ive never been married. Once denied for only sending 4 weeks income verification. Never understanding those deferments changed my status with company but no correction to credit agencies. This still hinders a person from employment opportunies. I wanted a lot from obtaining my degrees, sadly the market still only affords me a salary under $ XXXX a year. Once I was laid off and used 401k money so it made my payments go up but because I received numerous communications it can be confusing to a genius. The combination of compounding interest, complex communications and settling for deferments is a recipe for never ending debt. Customer service reps seem to ask u about deferment as those its not a solicitation but of course every one will accept it because they cant jeopardize a bad repayment history. I failed to mention I worked on XXXX for 3 years. When I was laid off for 5 months in XX/XX/XXXX I refused to call the lender for fear by credit for my {$0.00} repayment would result to me being put back on forbearance which doesnt help me with payment credit to satisfy the loan just make it were I dont have a payment.

Company: MOHELA
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint:
I want a payment I can actually afford. I have had my loan for years and been on the income driven repayment plans. Every year the payment goes up to an amount that is difficult to afford. I have had to resort to taking XXXX loans and even cashing in some of my XXXX with the XXXX % penalty to afford the payments. There are now new plans that base repayment on 10 % of income but I am being told that I do not qualify as I am not a new lender although the site that estimates payments show me that I do and shows a payment I can afford. I have repeatedly sent the servicer notes and the never take the time to review the questions and provide a full response. At no point, even after asking, have they indicated they have a true loss mitigation program that would lead to lower interest rates and truly look at debt to income and the actual expenses a borrower has to determine their ability to repay. I do n't understand why student loan servicers are not held to the same standards as mortgage servicers. The payments are so significant that making them could impact the ability to pay a mortgage payment and thus will have the same potential impact of costing someone their home. This servicer and all other student loan servicers need to be forced to develop true loss mitigation and loan modification programs.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CO
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
For the last 2.5 years, the creditor, Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( aka PenFed ), continues to incorrectly report an account ( XXXX ) on my XXXX credit bureau report, even after multiple disputes to have them correct this multiple times for the last 2.5 years. This closed account is a former automotive loan. The vehicle was repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX and went into charge-off status in XX/XX/XXXX. Further, XX/XX/XXXX was the date of first deliquency that preceded the XX/XX/XXXX collection activity, thus the negative aspect of the account is now over 7.5 years of age, and the account should be deleted from my XXXX credit bureau report. It has already been deleted from my XXXX and XXXX reports due to such. Per Section 605 ( c ) ( 1 ) of FCRA : " ( 1 ) In general. The 7-year period referred to in paragraphs ( 4 ) and ( 6 ) of subsection ( a ) shall begin, with respect to any delinquent account that is placed for collection ( internally or by referral to a third party, whichever is earlier ), charged to profit and loss, or subjected to any similar action, upon the expiration of the 180-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the delinquency which immediately preceded the collection activity, charge to profit and loss, or similar action. '' However, PenFed continues to report the account as paid as agreed and in good standing, and does not list any negative information, effectively re-aging the account. While some would find my situation ideal, the issue that I continue dealing with is many creditors see the account and assume I have outstanding debt. It drastically affects my debt to income ratio by being seen as outstanding debt, and I often get turned down for credit. No matter how many times I have attempted to contact PenFed conceding this, they never correct the erroneous data they are reporting, even when they agree with me that it is reporting incorrectly. This is a seriously violation of federal law. I have included PenFed account statements showing the date of first delinquency proceeding the charge-off, as well as statements showing the date of charge-off.
