Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

Hi, in XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my Navient loan with XXXX. According to records/correspondence from XXXX and Navient as of XX/XX/XXXX the loan was refinanced and XXXX had possession. This is also reflected in report by Navient to credit reporting agencies. Per records of XXXX they began charging interest as of that day. Subsequently in XX/XX/XXXX I received a billing statement for XXXX advising of a payment during that time period/adjustment to my loan of approximately $ 67k. The billing statement provides details of these payments indicating they were made on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX both after my loan was supposedly discharged by Navient. According to my account history there were no payments on either XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX but there are numerous payments/payment reversals on XX/XX/XXXX throughout. Further, there is a payment for approximately 182k on XX/XX/XXXX on the account. My loan total was approximately 115k and the XXXX is the difference. Navient is unable to provide the location of this additional XXXX payment per the records. After following with Navient up to the supervisor of their " consumer advocate department '' I was told they have no records of the payment and XXXX has no record of overpayment and so there is nothing they can do. However, and obviously contrary to their role as a lender and pursuant to the applicable law omission or failure to keep accurate records is not a response to a consumer missing XXXX. In fact the supervisor told me that there could not be a " reversal '' without a payment and then denied the payment but is unable to provide any proof. And in fact their own records document it over and over. Further, Navient 's own XXXX statement shows the loan was not only paid but had a negative balance of {$22.00} for which I received a check. I refuse to accept this and am asking for your help as they try to continue to cheat their customers due to their own incompetence. Their consumer advocacy department is nothing more then a bunch of navient advocates and serves no purpose or assistance.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (GA)

Please see uploaded documents. Select Portfolio Services ( SPS ) is giving false information to XXXX  by reporting an account in my credit report as derogatory that is older than 7 years from the date that it FIRST and ONLY time became delinquent ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Please see uploaded supporting documentation. Motion presented BY SPS on XX/XX/XXXX to US Bankruptcy Court of PR case XXXX. Here SPS clearly told the court that the mortgage debt was 71 payments in arrears from XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore 71 months minus XXXX XXXX will give you a date of delinquency of XXXX XXXX, not XX/XX/XXXX as SPS had FALSELY stated to XXXX. Therefore SPS has to remove this account from ALL credit reports and STOP PERMANENTLY from further reporting this account as derogatory on ALL credit report agencies. SPS is in violation of 15USC section 605 ( 4 ). Please order SPS to remove this account from Experian.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NC)

Around XX/XX/XXXX, my wife and I opened a line of credit with Wells Fargo bank. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, we paid off the entire outstanding balance ( {$10000.00} ) in one payment, to improve our financial credit standing. To our surprise, after making the payoff, we were notified by Wells Fargo that our line of credit had been closed. We contacted the branch, and were allowed to reopen the credit line, but at a higher interest rate. 
This XX/XX/XXXX, we wanted to pay down the line of credit again. 
In order to avoid what happened before, I went to the local branch to discuss this with a banker. I met with XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX branch. When I expressed my concern, she contacted corporate headquarters to inquire about any impact of making a large payment towards the LOC balance. The corporate representative on the phone assured me and XXXX XXXX that making a large payment would neither incur a reduction in available credit, nor a risk of the LOC being closed. With this promise in hand, we paid {$5700.00} towards the {$10000.00} balance. To our surprise, we saw that WF reduced our available credit to {$4400.00}, only days after having made the payment. 
I contacted the branch manager about what had happened, and an executive case was generated to look into why the promise had been broken. 
After not hearing from WF in 2 weeks, I contacted them via phone. I was informed that they have the right to change the terms of the LOC at their discretion, which I know is the case. The reason for doing so, I was told was ; too many high outstanding balances, too high debt to income ratio, too many recently opened accounts and too many inquiries. My credit reports at the time did have high outstanding balances. However, my debt to income ratio was only 25 %, there were XXXX inquiries over the past 2 years and 2 new accounts over the last year. The fact that WF finds that profile to be too risky for them, indicates to me that they are prohibiting a large portion of American consumers, who bank with them, from the ability to obtain credit at nationally accepted rates. 
The whole reason for us to want to pay off credit, was to improve our credit worthiness. Wells Fargo did nothing but damage our credit scores by reducing the available credit, and the unprofessional response I received on the phone when inquiring about this matter, leaves me worried for the consumers who are trying to improve their credit and banking with Wells Fargo. 
For my wife and myself, we are taking our banking elsewhere to avoid this type of unprofessional conduct, but hopefully this complaint can be useful to someone else who are undecided wether to bank with WF or not. 
Sincerely XXXX XXXX

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AL)

OnXX/XX/2017 my government credit card was charged twice by XXXX XXXX for the same flight for {$560.00}. When I disputed this charge with my credit card they told me XXXX told them it was a proper charge even though I had a receipt that showed the errant charge. They cancelled my card and threatened to garnish my wages if the money wasn't paid but I again sent them proof that it was a double charge and that XXXX inappropriately charged my card twice for the same ticket. I finally got XXXX to admit the mistake and refund the money but Citibank decided to charge an extra {$80.00} fee to the card. They then received a letter saying my military retired pay was being garnished to pay back {$710.00} which just seems to be a made up number.

Company: AES/PHEAA (MA)

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent me a notice that they reviewed my loan balance to " ensure accuracy '' and determined that my loan balance was to increase {$14000.00}. I had to calculate the increase to the principal myself, as it wasn't included on the notice. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to request documentation to explain the logic of the increase and prove that the amount was correct. I was told by XXXX ( Employee # XXXX ) that he could explain the increase to me but could not provide any documentation. He explained that XXXX made an error and did not correctly capitalize the interest to my loan while it was in forbearance, prior to them processing the paperwork for my an income-based repayment plan. ( I filed an complaint w/ CFPB about IBR and the time it took them to process that paperwork -- complaint # XXXX ). It's unclear to me how a servicer is allowed to add to the principal of a loan without providing documentation. 

I've attached a copy of the XX/XX/XXXX notice from XXXX as well as a copy of my XX/XX/XXXX IBR approval, which lists the amount of both my federal loans.

1. I received a promotional invitation from Citibank for AA advantage XXXX miles after I spend {$3000.00} within 3 month. 
After I spent about {$3800.00} I called Citicards to inquire when will I receive the bonus miles. They told me that I am not eligible because I receive bonus miles withing the last 2 years. I asked Citi card to close the account. 
This account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX 2. About a year later I received same offer. This time I called Citi card before using the card now they told me that I am not eligible to receive the bonus miles because they changed their policy and now " because I applied withing the past 2 years I am not eligible to receive the bonus miles. I asked Citi cards to close the account. 
This account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX this account WAS NEVER USED. 

3. Another year later and I received another offer as mention above. 
This time I called Citi cards BEFORE I applied. Cit cards Rep assured me that I will receive the bonus miles. upon receipt of the card and before using the card I called for another verification. I was told that I will not receive the bonus mile. I closed the account. 
This account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX And WAS NEVER USED. 

On all 3 cases above I was mislead by City cards THE HARM Because the above is showing as opened accounts on my credit report I have been denied credit a number of times. This, because some banks have a policy that if 5 accounts were opened in the past 24 month it is automatic denial.

my equifax credit report dropped 57 points overnight. The report stated that I had been late 9 times with an XXXX account. I contacted XXXX, they stated that I have been on time with the payment ( taken out of my checking account each month ) since 2012 and I am actually ahead on the account. XXXX did not send any negative information regarding the account. 

On the equifax account marks in a calendar format that I have been late on a loan, but on another equifax document shows that I have not been late on any loan. 

XXXX XXXX showed in their credit report that everything was fine and my credit actually went up 3 points. 

It should be an easy fix. I have not been late paying any of my accounts. 

Thank you for assisting me on this frustrating issue. 
*I do not have any documentation because I have never received any late notices on any of my accounts*

I spoke with a handful of different representatives today ( XX/XX/18 ) at XXXX for over 30 minutes. They all passed me on to the next until I demanded to speak with a manager. I asked the women to consolidate my 7 separate loans and she said that was impossible because they have different disbursement dates, and to Navient it only shows up as one loan for me. However if I miss a payment, my credit score reflects it as seven late  payments. Therefore making it harder to bring up my credit score and  refinance my loan with another company. Basically they told me they couldn't help me lower my payment unless they spoke with my co-signer which when she tried to call they said they wouldn't help her because it was my account.
