Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
Synchrony Bank ( operating as JC Penney Credit Services ) reduced my credit limit by 62 % for a payment not made within 8 days of statement. I could understand if they did this after 30 days, but it's been 8 days... EIGHT days. This is a breach of the contract I signed with this company. Their " Account Manager '' on a recorded call refused to explain why, giving lip service such as " your 8 day late payment prompted a a review of your account ''. I've had credit for 15 years - NEVER ONCE has a company ever committed such blatant disservice to a LOYAL PAYING CUSTOMER. I could also understand if I had " bad payment history '' but I do not. Going far back as when I opened the account initially a few years ago, I always have made my payments each month. From time to time I may have had to pay a couple weeks late waiting for a paycheck to hit my bank, but have ALWAYS accepted and paid the late fee without question. Never has my account ever with this company gone 30 days past due. 

To treat a customer in good standing like this, and then to give some lip service about the decision being made to reduce it based on other factors when I have NOT applied for new credit with them, nor have I requested a credit line increase is blatant BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. This company should be ashamed, and frankly this treads into legal waters which they have clearly not taken into account.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Complaint:
I submitted my employer certification form for the limited XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX waiver in XX/XX/XXXX, to FedLoan Servicing. I received verification from FedLoan in XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ) saying they still needed more time to verify whether I was eligible. I have heard nothing since then. The XXXX letter does not even say how much longer they will need or why they need more time. It has been SEVEN MONTHS now from when I submitted my application and I have yet to receive any substantive communication about whether I qualify, how many qualifying payments I have made, or how close I might be to actual forgiveness. With FedLoan now exiting the servicing business, I am not sure if I will ever get a reply before the PSLF waiver expires in XXXX, or if I will be able to rectify any errors on their part if they don't get back to me soon. 

Have they lost my paperwork? Are they ever going to respond? Calling them does not help and there is no where else to turn. It is very upsetting that there is no way to hold servicers accountable for administering vital, and time-sensitive, government programs like the limited PSLF waiver XXXX and this might mean that I miss out on loan forgiveness that I have worked for and earned, due to servicer error and ineptitude - AGAIN.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017, Equifax neglected to properly handle sensitive personal information and allowed a massive data breach that is impacting half of the citizens of the United States. I checked on their website http : //www.equifaxsecurity2017.com and it verified that my personal data was breached while attempting to take further advantage of their own malice for profit and sell me a service while declining my ability to participate in a class action lawsuit. They are taking no responsibility for their criminally irresponsible actions and I am forced to bear the consequences personally. They only offer 90 days of credit monitoring service, but my information is permanently leaked.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hello Southwest Credit Systems ; XXXX ; I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : XXXX. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. XXXX. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? XXXX. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? XXXX. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. XXXX. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. XXXX. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Mr. Cooper Mortgage Loan Number : XXXX I am writing to request correction of the error described below in regard to the mortgage on my property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. 

1 ) The amount required in my impound account was unnecessarily adjusted which unnecessarily caused an escrow shortage. My casualty insurance premiums dropped because I switched carriers.

2 ) Mr. Cooper made an error and reported a late payment that showed up on my credit report. The late payment was reported for the month of XX/XX/2019. This needs to be corrected. Mr. Cooper stated this is due to the escrow shortage. Records show the the mortgage was in fact sent to Mr. Cooper consistent with the automatic payment plan. 
previously implemented. This late payment needs to be removed from my credit report.

3 ) Mr. Cooper did not properly attempt to contact me about this shortage and the mortgage was in fact current and was never delinquent. Mr. Cooper sent a text message to which I responded requesting a call from a live person. The auto response claimed Mr. Cooper did not monitor the text message response. Mr. Cooper sent me a second text. I again responded to the message asking again to be contacted by a live person. This was done for two reasons, the first was to determine the purpose of the contact requested by Mr. Cooper. The second was my concern about the dozens of texts/calls I receive each month that are geared to commit fraud. Despite the disclaimer sent by Mr. Cooper, a live person in fact contacted me. I made the correction to the amount the same day I spoke to a live person. However, the false claim of being late was already made against my credit and my request to have it removed rejected.

When I asked where I could make a complaint regarding this issue I was erronously told to contact my state Department of Justice.

I have since request proper documentation showing the delinquent payment. It has not been provided. 

XXXX XXXX can be reached at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX if you have questions about my notification of your servicing error.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I closed a Suntrust Business ( Control account ) due to the following issues. 
I could never access my account online and I could never keep up with the balances and payments due to waiting til my statement closed to get a bill in the mail. 
There was no way to call to get a balance because it was not accurate, the online info always had an inaccurate balance reflected. 
I paid the account off in XXXX for {$7300.00} and closed the account effective immediately. 
I later received a statement with a credit balance of approximately {$80.00}. 
I called SunTrust to get a check sent effective immediately, they told me it would take 60 to 90 days to issue a check. 
This is unacceptable, because the reverse of this would not allow me to make a pymt 60 to 90 days late. 
I want my money that was sent. 
Why does this take so long to give me my money that I over paid.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NY
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:
XX/XX/XXXX - I called Navient, the student loan holder of my loans, to make a payment and allocate a majority of the payment towards one of the two consolidated loans I hold with the company. The representative I spoke to informed me that I was not allowed to allocate payment, and that what you pay, and how it 's preset, is how it 's supposed to be set up, and that I can not change or request to change that. 

XX/XX/XXXX- After reviewing the XXXX Dept. of Justice lawsuit of Navient, I learned that my previous interaction with Navient, and what I was told about allocation, was incorrect. I called to have this rectified, and at first, asked if I could ungroup my loans as stated on their website here : https : //www.navient.comXXXX First, the representative told me that I can not ungroup my loans unless I un-enrolled in online billing. I said, " Fine, please un-enroll me in online billing. '' After I submitted that request, the representative then told me that I, in fact, can not ungroup my loans because they are consolidated. So, my first request was unfulfilled, and I was led to take an unnecessary action ( un-enrolling in online billing ) that literally accomplished nothing. 

Second, I asked again if I was allowed to allocate my payments towards the exact loans that I want. The representative told me that I was allowed to do that - rendering the information I received in XXXX as incorrect - but with a caveat, that I need to call, make a payment over the phone with a representative, and then ask for it to be allocated the way I want it to. 

After this interaction, I asked the representative to note my account, and to note that I was filing a complaint with CFPB for the incorrect information I had for the last 5 months. I 'm also filing this complaint because I find this company to be untrustworthy and purposely giving misleading information to consumers in order to maximize their profits. 

Please investigate.
