Company: AES/PHEAA
State: OR
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I requested my student loan payments made during the XXXX payment pause to be refunded on XXXX I was told by the agent that the entire balance I had paid during forbearance would be refunded within 30-90 days from the request date. I requested clarification on that time and they confirmed I should have the entire balance returned to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX 

My loan was transferred from FedLoan to XXXX during the payment pause. I paid {$4200.00} to FedLoan ( XX/XX/XXXX- XXXX XXXX, 21 monthly payments of {$200.00} each ) and {$1600.00} to XXXX ( XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, 8 monthly payments of {$200.00} each ). 

The XXXX balance was restored on XX/XX/XXXX and direct-deposited back into my account. However, the FedLoan balance remains pending after 105 days. When I have called to request updates on the progress of the refund, I keep being told later and later dates that the refund will be processed by. Rather than the end of XXXX, they are now estimating I will not receive my refund until XXXX or XXXX next year! This is an absurdly long time to process a refund, and it feels like they are just keeping my money from me without proper communication or any accountability. I could be collecting interest on that amount in a savings account or paying off other private loans, and instead they are just pushing back the goalpost on their obligations and causing me undue financial pressure and XXXX. This is unacceptable.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am appalled by the lack of responsibility of the Credit Reporting Agencies. When will the Credit Reporting Agencies going to fix all the erroneous information on my personal credit file? For the past 5 months my requests have been overlooked. Discontinue the stall tactics and please repair the following accounts : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$170.00} This account has been disputed because of the erroneous information this account reports on my Credit file. How many times do I have to tell you that this account is reporting incorrect payment history? I was never late when paying with this account. I have been recording my own payment records and what they present is different from what I have. I need you to correct this accounts payment history by removing the late payments on the payment records. 
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$450.00} This charge off account is reporting inaccurate balance in my Credit Report. Charge off accounts should always report balance as XXXX, then why does this account continue reporting with {$450.00} as balance if this account was already a charge off? I have been trying to correct this erroneous information and yet you have done nothing. I need you to immediately remove this account as soon as possible. 
XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} I do not remember having an account with this company. I have been asking you to provide me copies of proof of ownership and yet you have sent me nothing. Once again, please send me copies of proof of verification or any documents bearing my signature confirming my ownership of this account. Inability to provide such documents should result in immediate removal of the account.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA the 3 credit bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ; XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$15000.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$870.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$590.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 ; If the credit bureaus feel there is a possibility these items belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If the credit bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Complaint:
I have been disputing for the removal of the fraudulent items that are still reporting on my Credit file despite the multiple letters and cfpb comlaints I have been submitting to the Credit Bureaus.

If the Credit Bureaus choose to not block the following items listed below which are reporting inaccurately due to identity theft, I will be handing my documents over to my attorney to start a legal action. Its my intention to not pursue any legal action so please adhere to the law. Please remove the following items that resulted due to identity theft : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$5600.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed {$4300.00} XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.

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:
XXXX sold us airline reservations that included free personal item service. But we did not receive the free personal item service.Instead we got additional charges from the airlines for the free personal item service. 

We informed XXXX and XXXX XXXX but they are not willing to fix the problem. We then informed Citi Cards regarding the issue with detail letter, but Citi Cards refuses to take any action. 

We have informed Citi Cards that XXXX is misleading airline passengers and committing fraud by selling a service that they are unable to provide but thus far Citi Cards has failed to take any action, instead wants to punish their customers by forcing their customers to pay for fraudulent charges on their credit card bill. 

Citi Card is marketing and advertising customers will not be responsible for fraudulent charges but Citi Bank has failed to keep that promise. 

Please review the attached documents that was already submitted to Citi Cards.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I have been a depositor at Chase and its predecessors for nearly 42 years. Never had an issue on my end ( NG Checks, Claims etc ). On XX/XX/22 a transfer in the amount of {$4800.00} was debited from my account. The account a transfer to a person I don't know and never heard of. On XX/XX/22, I went into my branch and asked a bank officer what I should do. He recommended that I close the account and indicated that the account was probably hacked. The bank was most cooperative in opening a new account and filing a complaint with Chase. The balance from the closed account was transferred to the new account along with re-imbursement of the {$4.00}, XXXX. On XX/XX/22, the new account was debited {$4800.00} and was told in one of the many ensuing telephone calls that the claim was denied. After many calls and visits to the branch, the reason given was that they investigated all my transactions, all devices connected to this account and could not find anything different or out of whack. The investigation apparently indicated that they had no indication from any of the normal operating protocols to my account and therefore the transfer to this un-known to me recipient was authorized. I have never received communication in writing from them of where they transferred this money nor was the transfer investigated. Today, I closed my savings account and two brokerage accounts with Chase. I can not continue screaming at representatives and continue to receive robotic answers as if it were a script. How can they blame the victim here?
