Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX has {$14000.00} that is sitting in a lockbox that has not been credit to my account. This money is currently being charged interest and showing up with a high debt ratio on my account. This account is under investigation and is with the office of the president. The company has already agreed that they will credit that they will credit my account all finance charges and therefore I have requested that they please put this charge into a contested amount and should be credited temporarily until the company fixes their internal problems. This problem has been ongoing for over several months and therefore am requesting assistance to get this corrected as my credit score is just one more problem that is hurting me while this long process is not corrected.

Company: EdFinancial Services

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't temporarily postpone payments

Complaint:
I was in good standing with my student loan servicer for almost 10 years. In 2014 I started a business and simultaneously lost my job. I was able to make payments for a while but I make almost no money $ XXXX-XXXX gross per month and it has been that way ever since. I applied for IBR swiftly upon realizing how tight my finances were going to be and for the 2015 year I did not have to make any payments. This year, the same company, Edfinancial is doing their best, it would seem, to block me from IBR even though I am making roughly the same amount and I am 9 months XXXX, about to give birth any day now, and am on Medicaid and Food Stamps. I have asked them 4 times now what precisely they need from me in my statement of self-employment and each time they have given me incomplete information. I have applied with the information they requested only to find out, too late, that my application had been rejected and I owed. They keep saying " Oh, its ok you can apply your forbearance. '' Clearly, this is how they rope people in who are not paying attention. I do n't want to use a forbearance when it is their fault. That is for emergencies and they are divesting me of it as a cheap trick to make a dime. I have asked to be put in contact with a manager. I will continue to get my account switched over to IBR but they are making this process convoluted and I feel like its an attempt on their part to trick me out of the resources I have so that I am living month to month waiting for them to prey upon the meager income that I make.

Complaint:
We made an {$11000.00} payment towards principal to reduce the loan balance to {$380000.00} which is 75 % of the assessed value of {$510000.00}. SLS keeps moving the needle. Originally they repeatedly told us we just needed to meet 80 % of the assessed value, even though they knew we bought the house less than 5 years ago. Now everything has now been met to remove the PMI. I have attached and enclosed proof of the principal payment that we made today.

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: PA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
I regularly make on time payments online to the credit card " XXXX '', fromantic XXXX. For some reason, a payment I made online in XXXX was not taken from my bank account. When I called to find out what had happened, the employee I spoke with said he saw the payment and to " give it a few days ''. So, I waited, and saw that it still had not withdrawn. I called back and the employee I spoke to asked which website I paid on. Apparently, according to him, they sent out emails that the website changed. I received no email, and told them I ticked on the card 's site " Paper Mail Only '' option. He said that the company decided to send emails because it was " so sudden a change ''. Yet, I was still able to make payments online on the old site. Unfortunately the payments did n't take. There were no disclaimers or notices on the old site that they changed addresses. The employees I spoke with previously did n't even mention the site change. I disputed with them, and they eventually admitted fault and refunded my late fees and took the payment. However, the credit reporting was reported as over limit with a number that did n't even reflect my balance. I called to dispute it again, and they said it would be taken care of. As of XXXX, nothing was done, and the balance still did n't match the reporting. I had a balance of XXXX, yet they reported it as XXXX. They were also reporting me as 30,60,90 days past due. I disputed with trans union and they found my claims to be correct. NOTHING has changed on the credit reporting as of today, XXXX/XXXX/2015. My credit has been SEVERELY damaged because of this. Now, they are saying my payments do not go through online because of an incorrect account number, yet, nothing is wrong. After disputing it YET AGAIN, they refunded the late fees and took my payment over the phone ( at a XXXX phone pay fee ). Now, my payment was due yesterday, but still has n't posted on my bank account. I double checked my account info on their website and it is correct. I have a feeling they are going to try to get me to pay for the over the phone fee yet again. This is criminal practice. The last rep I spoke with told me that being over balance would n't hurt my credit, then proceeded to ask me personal questions about where I live. This is illegal, is it not? I want my credit back, these criminals held accountable, and this balance fixed!

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
I returned to school for a semester after graduation and first, my in school deferement was not processed until XX/XX/XXXX, despite a XX/XX/XXXX start date. ( This, in and of itself, could be a complaint ) Because I was still receiving bills, I made the payments in order to avoid complications and disputes later down the line, especially after reading about how little help people have gotten even when they did make payments on time. 
Then I received a letter in the mail saying my loans were deferred from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. On my account, however, there was interest showing up on the XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX payments, and they ranged from {$9.00} to {$27.00}, depending on the month. Because I have since moved abroad and it 's taken me a while to noticed this discrepancy, I could not call and instead emailed them. I got two seperate emails that were automated and directed me to their FAQs page. I was asking specifically about a specific case that had to do with my account, and was instead given an automated reply, twice. 
Because I finished my courses in XX/XX/XXXX ( it was XXXX, so the seminar went slightly into the second semester of XXXX school year ), I figured I would need to begin repayment on my loans again. Receiving no bills made me nervous, but everything on my account said my loans were deferred until XX/XX/XXXX. Knowing this should n't be the case, I simply paid the exact monthly amount on XX/XX/XXXX. When it processed, it suddenly was showing up as only a portion of my principal paid off, with a huge chunk going towards the interest. When I logged into my account on XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were no longer in deferment, no notice made. There was a complicated calculation on XX/XX/XXXX that I will assume was from the date they decided my loans were n't in deferment anymore. Still no bill for the XX/XX/XXXX payment that I was charged interest for. Because I only have subsidized loans, and they were still in deferment when I made the payment, there should be no interest accrued, and therefore none of the money paid should be going towards interest ( since there was none on that date ). I emailed them again, this time making it explicitly clear that I need a human being to personally respond, even if only to tell me that these things can not be processed over email. This time, I received a " we are processing your email '' automated email, but still no follow up, automated or otherwise. At the moment, I have well over {$100.00} tied up in " paid off interest '' that should be going towards my principal, because there should n't have been any interest accrued during the time I was making those payments while in deferment. Customer service is actively not reachable via any means other than phone, despite there supposedly being email as an option.
