Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. Company : Nelnet , Inc . 

On Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), Nelnet contacted me ( phone call with a follow-up email ) to inform that I may quality for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program ( PSLF ), encouraging me to apply for this program. On Thursday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I contacted Nelnet with a few questions about the application. After being directed to a Nelnet PSLF specialist, I was told the following : Only full-time/permanent jobs qualify toward the PSLF program ( seasonal/temporary full-time jobs don't qualify )- If you worked for 5 years and was in the PSLF program and got laid off ( had an involuntary break in your work history ), you would lose those previous 5 years of payments toward the PSLF program - Having breaks in your work history ( layoffs, career break, transitions between jobs ) may disqualify you from this program, even if you currently participate in this program - It is recommended for those with a lot of student loans ( example given : {$100000.00} ) to pursue the PSLF program ; it doesn't make as much sense for those with smaller amounts of student debt to participate in this program

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

Complaint:
During the pandemic in XXXX, I was XX/XX/XXXX and working XXXX XXXX just to keep up with the necessities of living. I followed their policies to report a financial hardship and given one temporary concession for 2 months, after that, I could not afford the monthly minimum but attempted to pay something toward it. I let them know that I needed help and was told that I have exhausted my one time request. After my account was closed they sent me a letter saying that they would allow me to pay 1/3 of the balance. I did not have it, as I was still XX/XX/XXXX! I had a XXXX credit score before this card account was closed and now it is XXXX. I had no idea that I could complain about this back then so I am submitting a complaint.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
On XXXX my XXXX XXXX XXXX husband received a debt collection letter from North Shore Agency stating that they are collecting a debt for XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$12.00}. Although he never ordered this magazine he mailed a check in that amount on XXXX XXXX, thinking this would resolve the issue. However, he received XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX He returned both magazines to the senders subscription department. On XX/XX/XXXX, he received notification from XXXX that the order was placed through an agency, that he needed to contact them because XXXX has an agreement that any action must be taken only with their approval. 

I, XXXX XXXX, wife of XXXX, contacted XXXX Customer Service Center advising them that we never ordered the magazine and that we wanted delivery of the magazine stopped. We were advised that a stop order was put in place and that we would receive XXXX more issue. I asked what the date of this order was and was advised that the order for the magazine was dated XXXX XXXX XXXX clearly after my husband had sent the check in response to North Shore Agency falsely claiming that this was a debt collection attempt. He had no debt!

It appears to me that North Shore Agency makes fraudulent claims knowing full well that this debt collection is fictitious. They may even target older people like my XXXX XXXX XXXX husband who are easily confused and intimidated. 

I have all supporting documentation.

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I opened a credit card with USAA. After a hard hit on my credit report, I was approved for a {$24000.00} credit line. On XX/XX/2022, I received and activated my card. Then I proceeded to do a {$5000.00} balance transfer from another bank to my new USAA credit card. I was not able to do the transfer after multiple attempts. I then called USAA Credit Card Department. The representative tried to do the transfer for me and received the same message of " unsuccessful ''. It was suggested that too many attempts had been made. I needed to wait XXXX hours to attempt it again. On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted the transfer again. Once again it was unsuccessful. I then called USAA and they were not able to help me. I waited a few days and failed again. So, I reached out to another rep XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Texas and she was not able to figure the problem out. I was referred to their Executive Resolution Dept and they could not figure it out. They referred me to their Fraud Department as to which they couldn't figure it out as well. So, after XXXX failed attempts, I closed the card. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reapplied for another credit card and another hard hit against my credit. This time the line of credit dropped to {$4500.00} and not one representative could explain. I was then referred to their CEO Department Relations and spoke with XXXX XXXX. The representative indicated that the drop was probably due to the first hard hit against my credit report and that probably was the reason for the credit line drop on XX/XX/XXXX even though it is USAA 's hard hit. They are having internal issues with their computer system and not one person at USAA can tell my why their system would not do the transfer. So now, I am being penalized for their internal problem for a second hit on my credit report which all stems from USAA internal system. Not one person can help me. I have gone as far as I can for an explanation. I have my homeowners insurance and auto insurance with them. Now I am concerned about their ways to problem solve and will be removing my accounts with them. This just not make common sense and definitely not fair to their consumers

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Hello. 
I would like to inform you that about 2 weeks ago Bank of America closed my Credit Account FOR NO REASON. It was a Secured Credit card account and I had {$500.00} of my own money as collateral in it. They DID NOT even return my money. But what irritates me the most, is that they closed my Credit Account for NO REASON in the first place! I have ALWAYS made 100 % on-time payments and I have NEVER used my credit card aggressively. You can check my credit history and you will see it yourselves. I was a victim of a scam with my checking account. I submitted a complaint ( complaint ID : XXXX ) to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and you guys did a GREAT JOB, because Bank of America opened my checking account back ( which should have never been closed in the first place without any investigation ). 
So, now they have decided to go after my Credit Account, which is again absolutely UNFAIR and UNJUST. I have contacted Bank of America many times after my credit account got closed, but they never provided me with a single reason of why my Credit Account got shut down. With this matter I contacted their ( 1 ) Customer Service, ( 2 ) Risk and Closure, ( 3 ) Credit Accounts, ( 4 ) Fraud, ( 5 ) Complaint departments and NONE OF THEM PROVIDED ME WITH ANY REASON of my Credit Account got shut down. This is just a RIDICULOUS and UNPROFESSIONAL approach in any way look at this situation. In the attachment you can find the Credit Card Account Closure letter from Bank of America which I received a few days ago and you can see that they have provided ABSOLUTELY NO SINGLE REASON of why my account got shut down. 
Today I was checking the XXXX XXXX  app. I realized that a XXXX XXXX  was added to my Credit Report and that the Credit Score with XXXX HAS DROPPED FROM XXXX TO XXXX ( XXXX POINTS!!! ). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! Why should I, my XXXX XXXX and History be affected by someones IRRESPONSIBILITY and UNPROFESSIONALISM?! I would also like to inform you that I have submitted a dispute on myEquifax as well, but the text limit on their dispute page is very limited, so I was only able to explain them the situation in 2-3 sentences. In the attachment you can find the ( 1 ) myEquifax Credit Report Dispute confirmation, ( 2 ) Screenshots from XXXX XXXX app and the ( 3 ) Credit Card Account Closure letter from Bank of America. 

Thank you in advance!
