Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC (PA)

I had a HELOC from XXXX XXXX XXXX serviced by GreenTree Servicing. The house was foreclosed and the account was sent to collection. I worked out a settlement agreement with GreenTree. I have paid my agreed upon settlement of {$15000.00}. GreenTree misplaced some of my payments but the law firm handling the collection has said GreenTree found the payments in their system and would credit them appropriately. So far GreenTree has not responded to me with a letter stating I have fulfilled the agreed upon settlement. GreenTree has also sent new reports to the XXXX credit reporting agencies that my account is past due and that I did not pay. I would like GreenTree to send me an official letter stating I paid the account as agreed and that is is closed and paid. I would also like them to report the account closed and paid to the credit agencies.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't temporarily postpone payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (MO)

I called Sallie Mae to request forbearance while I change jobs, battle with medical issues and bills, and come up with a plan to repay my loans that will be effective because I am experiencing a current financial hardship. I spoke to a gentlemen who said he could do nothing for me unless I paid {$800.00}, that day and then he would help me. I could not afford to do this, which was the reason for my call in the first place. I eventually spoke to another gentlemen who said he could do a 1 month forbearance for me while I tried to get my feet back under me. Everything went normal and he took my good faith payment of {$150.00}. He told me that I should see the forbearance on my account withing 24 - 48 hours. It has now been 120 hours and no forbearance. In addition, Sallie Mae 's policy is that if you are denied forbearance, they will apply the {$150.00} to the loan. This still has not been done. I have also not received any information regarding if I was accepted or denied for forbearance. Essentially, they have just taken my {$150.00} and done nothing with it.

I answered all the and passed the identity verification. When I received my Barclays world master card in the mail and attempted to activate it. the card it was blocked and It prompted me to call in and speak to a representative. when I spoke to the representative he asked me " verify my identity again. '' I again answered all of the question and rep stated he said congratulation your card is approved, a few mins later I attempted to make a purchase online only to find out that my purchase was declined so I had to call back in a 3rd time and they stated that i needed to send in '' ID ''.

My home loan was with XXXX XXXX XXXX and I went into a slow pay with them and started paper work with them at that point. I was told that they would not work with me at all and I was told to wait till I was 2 months behind and maybe said they may want to help.. They did not do anything for me. Then a few months later they sold my loan to M And T bank and they send me a letter telling me that I was now with them and to start making payments to them ASAP. I called to make my payments and they told me that I could not make anymore payments till we sent in a modification package to see if they could help me. They would not take my payments then I sent all the information everytime that they asked me and then told me my documents were not current so they asked for info again and again and again and always at the 30 day mark. I was sent back again and again and never got help. Then I spoke to XXXX XXXX and he informed me that we would not have to make a payment and we would be review again. Do n't worry everything should be fine. I then revcived a letter stating that I got turned down for the modification and that I was going to lose my house. I called the bank and tried to make payments but they said they could not take them I was only 3 months behind. They told me that I could not make the payments. They then told me to re-apply and they said that I would not get approved but to try anyway. Then I went to find someone to help me but after 1 month they came back with a forbearance and they said that the payments would be XXXX per month and that the agreement was for 6 months and after the agreement they would reconsider for a additional term. I made all the payments on time and XXXX XXXX 2015 was the last payment for the forbearance and I sent the payment but 5 days later they started a forclosure sale date of XXXX XXXX 2015 and told me that they did not have to reiview me again unless I sent info 30 days in advance. I never received a forbearance agreement from the bank and I never signed XXXX. I have been requesting Info from the bank since XXXX/XXXX/2015 to show a signed forbearance and the terms but to this date they have not complied with my request this is now over XXXX days. I also contacted the trustee quality loan services and requested them to respond to QWR and they did not comply. I just yesterday XXXX XXXX 2015 reinstated my mortgage in hopes that someone would help me. This bank is really a mess and if not for many hours of work I would have lost my home.

I work very hard to pay my bills and I want very much to keep my student loan payments in good standing. I can not afford the XXXX a month payment Discover is requiring of me.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

I have been repaying student loans mostly consistently since 2005. I have XXXX loans, XXXX Private unsubsidized, XXXX federal ( XXXX subsidized and XXXX unsubsidized ). The total amount borrowed since 2005, the XXXX is {$50000.00}. I recently checked the amount I paid over XXXX years of repayment and have paid nearly {$19000.00} in interest only payments on these loans with principal only being reduced slightly by approximately {$2500.00}. 

As of today, XXXX XXXX. I still owe in the ball park of {$47000.00}. I recently spoke with Navient to explore ways in which I can repay these loans back faster because I feel like the amount I 've been paying should have reduced principal more than {$2500.00}. Considering I have 10 years of diligent and consistent repayments on my record, Navient was unwilling to work with me to make paying off my loans easier. They would n't offer me reduced interest rates, would n't re-negotiate a lower lump sum payback, would n't work with me to ensure that any money 's I pay above their monthly minimum would be used toward the principal of any specific loan. 

Their unwillingness to work with me to help me pay these loans back is criminal and their interest rates are predatory. Something has to be done to offer flexibility in repayment.

The estimates were all so off that they ask me to take a loan against my XXXX to cover the closing cost. The only reason I have not pull the plug is because I am so compromise and I am not feeling well to start all over again. This probably will be my last mortgage process.
