Company: Maximus Education, LLC dba Aidvantage
State: AL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I have not been able to get any information about my Borrower 's Defense discharge. I received approval in XXXX and was told it would take 7 months to complete. It's a full month passed the 7 months Aidvantage said it would take them to resolve. I tried to get information once on the phone and twice in writing this passed month, all with no answers provided. I've attached a copy of my last complaint for reference and since then, nothing has changed. As suspected, Aidvantage isn't doing what they said they are supposed to do and are mishandling my account.

Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
My XXXX Great Lakes loan was 1 loan for 1 year of college. I initially received an e-mail notice on XX/XX/XXXX reflecting my one loan being transferred, however when it got transferred to Nelnet, they split my loan into 5 separate loans!!!! When I noticed this I disputed this on my credit report and was told it was not in violation-how!? I then opened a complaint with FSA ( Case # XXXX ) and they sent me some automated information. I am pursuing my XXXX XXXX XXXX  and when I took out the loan I was sent an email on XX/XX/XXXX by Nelnet saying I would be in deferment for my loan and did not owe anything. I double-checked on the website and it said I still owed on both my XXXX and XXXX loans. I then completed their steps and said I was in school and it said that all of my loans qualified for deferment. I didn't hear anything else for almost a month. When I checked my bank account yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a withdrawal coming out. I was upset so I called the line and they had a 45-minute wait. I requested a call back and when they called back I explained both of my issues and how they were incorrect. The girl on the phone told me I should consolidate my XXXX loan and I stated that it should've never been unconsolidated in the first place and I didn't want it to affect my loans or credit any and she said she wasn't sure and would transfer me to someone else. I then informed her that they should also not be taking any payments from my bank since I should be in deferment, and she said let me speak to someone about this. I waited on hold for approximately 10 minutes when the phone said " XXXX XXXX EASTERN TIME '' and hung up on me. I am trying to do the right thing and they are unresponsive to my requests. They mishandled my XXXX loan and took money from my bank erroneously. I also double-checked my email and it looks like on XX/XX/XXXX they removed the comment on my credit report that I disputed the error. Please HELP!

Complaint:
I am starting the process of buying a car as my current vehicle has started leaking oil and I am trying to get a safe and reliable vehicle for myself and child. I decided to pay XXXX for a subscription so that I can start to shop and get the best rate possible. I noticed several inaccuracies, and accounts that I do not recognize including inquiries. 

I have requested several times for proof. These bureaus have failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing these accounts are mine and being reported accurately. I am referencing to Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA- they are required to " ... .promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

I receive a response back that the information is accurate and the bureau will then update my report still reflecting inaccuracies without ever supplying me with any proof. Who verified the inaccuracies? I have a right to this information so that I can follow up with them directly referencing Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) They are in violation of Federal Law by allowing these unverified accounts and items to remaining my credit report. They are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that the information is not only mine but is also accurate. 

How is this fair? I have tried several times through written mail, phone calls and using their online systems. I honestly do not believe that a person is even looking at my requests let alone investigating my disputes thoroughly. 

Finally, In accordance with the fair credit reporting act 15 USC 1681, my rights have been violated and these accounts continue to negatively affect me. I am starting to feel despair because I feel like I am being bullied by the CRAs and that they are counting on the fact that a single individual may not have the time or resources to resolve these issues.

I am not typically a confrontational nor litigious person. For months I have let this go as I had given up and just accepted the fact that I will have to deal with this. However, I realized that laws are made for a reason and are there to safe guard and keep in line for fairness and equality. 

The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me ( section 616 & 617 ) if these companies continue to disregard and fail to comply with Federal Law, I fully intend on pursing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: MA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
My father XXXX XXXX XXXX owned the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MA XXXX. He passed away on XX/XX/XXXX and left no will. I worked with a lawyer to get everything turned into my name and started to begin the process of dealing with the mortgage company Nationstar ( now Mr. Cooper ) I currently reside in the house with my niece age XXXX. I had no access to accounts for my father until after his death and in XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the mortgage company to get the ball rolling on paying back debt etc. I had my fathers insurance settlement and was able to pay the mortgage at this point including the back due amount. I was unable to speak to anyone directly as they stated that they didnt have the proper paperwork. I contacted my lawyer and had her send paperwork over. Lawyer is XXXX XXXX of XXXX, MA. I was still delayed for months and in XX/XX/XXXX got a check for past due amount and mailed this over to mortgage company as someone told me to pay it and they will talk to me. That check was never cashed. I cancelled that check in XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX mailed another check with amount past due. I tried repeatedly to contact this company, on hold for hours on end. I was switched to multiple agents handling my account and any direct line to them left me to a voicemail which i got no call back, EVER. It was not until XX/XX/XXXX that I was finally able to speak to someone as they didnt realize that my fathers name and my name were the same- they had the proper documentation in front of them all along. I asked what I could do as I was willing to take over the loan and apply for a modification. I asked for information to be sent and by XX/XX/XXXX still had not received documents. I got a call from a collector and was finally able to get documents needed to apply for a modification in XX/XX/XXXX and faxed them out around XX/XX/XXXX. I heard nothing back. I have received no certified mail, I just get bills with my mortgage past due owed. I am now in foreclosure and am able to make the payments but no one will work with me. My foreclosure date is set for XX/XX/XXXX. I did not even get any notification in the mail that this was happening, but rather heard from family who saw it in the paper. This company has swooped down on a XXXX mans house and I am trying to protect myself and my niece ( who is entitled to 25 % of the house. ) I just want to pay my mortgage and get back to normal, but this has become crippling to me as I have been given the runaround for over a year now.

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is showing inaccuracies on the 30 days late, 60 days late and 90 days late. How is this account showing 90 days late 24 times consecutive?

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
The Company in question is Chase, and I have been a customer of them for over 20 years. After going out on XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and not being released until XX/XX/XXXX, I made payments to Chase on time and as agreed. However, fast forward to today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have depleted my 401K, IRA, and my savings. Thus, my last payment to Chase was on XX/XX/XXXX as I currently have no income coming in, and I need the little that I have left to cover my doctor visits and medication for health conditions covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ). I called them when I received my XXXX bill, letting them know that I could not afford to make payments for the reasons I mentioned in this complaint. I have attached what they told me, and please keep in mind that they would only give me an option to settle this once I defaulted, which I believe violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The reason is that they wanted me to wait ( and I quote ) until I was on default to make payment arrangements ( although I was being proactive and trying to find temporary help to avoid impact to my credit, which has been immaculate ). As a result, my credit report has been negatively impacted and decreased from having an " exceptional '' credit rating to a " fair '' credit rating, as a result of Chase and their inability to work with me before default, which I believe is unfair, violates my rights under FCRA, and gives them a horrible reputation taking into account my current situation both financially and healthwise.

Complaint:
Section 615 ( g ) ; 15 U.S.C. 1681m ( g ) Section 615 ( g ) has specific requirements for persons, such as financial institutions, that act as debt collectors, whereby they collect debts on behalf of a third party that is a creditor or other user of a consumer report. The requirements do not apply when a person is collecting its own loans. When a person is notified that any information relating to a debt that it is attempting to collect may be fraudulent or may be the result of identity theft, the person must notify the third party of this fact. In addition, if the consumer, to whom the debt purportedly relates, requests information about the transaction, the person must provide all of the information the consumer would otherwise be entitled to if the consumer wished to dispute the debt under other provisions of law applicable to the person.
