Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Federal student loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I have a student loan from XXXX, at the moment I live in XXXX, XXXX and the financial loan has been directed to be paid through XXXX XXXX, a collection agency to process international payments. 

They have created a new website and the last month I tried to pay but the website was not loading correctly. This month I have a late payment fee plus the new payment for this month and the XXXX   payment option is not working. I asked them when they will fix it but they say that they dont know. They give you the option to pay through your bank account but my bank account is in XXXX and does not have a routing number and I need to pay via XXXX. There is another option for international payments which is more costly but it does not work in their website. 

I am afraid that I will get a new late fee. I am trying to pay and the system is not allowing me to do so. This was a federal student loan and I do not understand why they hire this service that does not work properly. 

I want that XXXX  XXXX fixes the XXXX  option so that we can make payments with the XXXX  card. 

Thank you very much,

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
State employee credit union. Was supposed to automatically take a payment of {$230.00} on XX/XX/XXXX they draft the payment for my car note before my check is even deposited into my account. I was notified earlier in the month of XX/XX/XXXX regarding a separate account that I had to make a payment on. I was not notified until XX/XX/XXXX regarding my car payment was late. So when the rep XXXX from the XXXX XXXX brands I advised him as to why I was being notified so late when someone from the credit union called me the first day my salary advance was 1 DAY PAST DUE. I advised XXXX there was no reason as to why a payment wasnt automatically drafted out of my account. There was enough money deposited into my checking account fro cover the payment. And the payment was deliberately not paid due to my recent complaints on the credit union my car was in a minor accident on XX/XX/XXXX which it has been at XXXX XXXX from that date till today. And each month I was making a car payment. I advised XXXX that I was not expecting a paycheck the end of XX/XX/XXXX and would have to make a double payment on XX/XX/XXXX. A few days ago I get a letter in the mail saying my car will be repossessed if a payment is not made in 10 days from the date given in XX/XX/XXXX. I have already sent this information over to my lawyer. The credit union is deliberately retaliating at me because of my numerous complaints. XXXX could not give me any reasonable explanation as to why a payment wasnt made. From the time Ive had that car til now all of my payments has been automatically drafted from my checkings account. I demand answers as to why a payment wasnt drafted out and why was I notified 7 days before the end of XX/XX/XXXX. Why  wasnt I notified when the payment was 5 days past due?

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern ; I would like your office to investigate the following. I paid in full an amount owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in California, which was submitted to a third party collection agency, XXXX XXXX. In addition to the payment, I made 4 copies of the money order as proof of payment, because I knew I could n't rely on the collection agency to report the payment to the bureaus and have it removed from my profile. I mailed it to the collection agency and the 3 credit reporting bureaus on X/XX/17. As of today X/X/17 the debt is still listed on my XXXX XXXX profile as unpaid. 

Additionally, I filed a dispute with all 3 bureaus regarding a co-borrower account that belonged to my son, who did not have my written authorization to use me as a co-borrower. Nor did the apartment complex XXXX XXXX have my signed authorization to use my information as a co-borrower. If they would have had my full and complete information the transaction would not have gone through. The apartment complex has not and can not furnish any proof of my written consent, yet they still insist the debt is mine. My son has since paid the debt in full ; yet the collection agency Southern Management and the apartment complex refuse to remove the account for my profile. It seems like the collection agency is looking to get paid twice. Which I 'm sure is a common practice with collection agencies. 

Both of these are having a negative impact on my credit score and I am determined to get all of my debts paid off. The 3 credit reporting agencies and the collection agencies are n't acting in the best interest of me as a consumer, because they are not enforcing the rules and regulations which require the fair and accurate reporting of my debts and payments. 

If you could look into and help me resolve this matter I would be grateful. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I pulled up a credit report to find that Wells Fargo had incorrectly reported a foreclosure to all the credit bureaus wreaking havoc on my credit which is still damaged due to this mistake made by Wells Fargo. I sent multiple letters and have received multiple notices from the company assuring me that it would be removed but to no avail. I sent and have copies of the mortgage paid in full and without a flaw on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I wrote their CEO via email XXXX XXXX and have still not received a reply to permanently remove this mistake from my credit which has gone down since this simply unexplicable mistake was made by Wells Fargo. I 'm writing you so that we can begin the process of remedying this matter once and for all so I do n't have to hire an attorney to sue Wells Fargo. It is absolutely unacceptable that I have had to endure this lie all these months after multiple requests to remedy their mistake. My good name has been tarnished and I want to know how this can be resolved once and for all.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
My problem is with Kohls and their store card. I've asked many times about the ability to set up automatic payments in the account in order to avoid late fees. I use this card a few times a year, so I don't have monthly payments. 

It is my belief that Kohls refuses to offer an option for automatic payments so that they can benefit from a considerable number of late payments. The late fee on a recent bill was 35 % of the outstanding bill.

State: MN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I ordered clothing while at a store in XXXX, XXXX for {$1800.00} using my Chase XXXX credit card on XX/XX/XXXX. The following day the store sent a person to do some measuring at which time I noticed the materials did not match those I chose in the store. I ask the store to cancel the order, but they refused to do so. I immediately contacted Chase to dispute the credit card charges. When the clothing arrived, it was not what I ordered and the materials manifest on the package clearly states the materials were not what I ordered. I repeatedly tried to contact the store to a obtain a return authorization and return address to return the clothing for a full refund, but the store did not respond or provide an address to return the clothing. I received a letter from Chase on XX/XX/XXXX stating the charges were valid because the store did not receive the clothing I attempted to return. I reopened the case with Chase and informed Chase that I had attempted to return the clothing to the store but was unsuccessful in getting a response from the store and that is why I still had the clothing via writing and a telephone conversation. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from Chase stating the charges were valid due to the amount of time that has passed. I believe Chase has made mistakes in handling this dispute. The merchandise I received was not what I ordered. Chase incorrectly assumed I had and was able to return the merchandise, but the merchant did not answer their phone or emails in order to provide me with a return shipping address and I had informed them of this problem before they made their determination. 

The merchant has not provided to Chase any documentation that states the quality of the clothing. The merchant provided documentation on the box of the sent clothing to me that is different than they described to me at time of purchase ( attachment XXXX ). The merchant has provided sales drafts that are completely different than the ones they provided me ( attachments XXXX and XXXX ). The sales drafts the merchant provided me do not state that the clothing is non-refundable nor do they contain my signature, nor are the signatures on the sales drafts provided to Chase by the merchant my signature indicating fraud by the merchant. I believe Chase has inadequately evaluated the provided documentation I submitted and negligently investigated my dispute and therefore a billing error remains in effect.
