Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (NY)

I made a large payment to pay down the principal of one of my student loans. Nelnet does not recalculate automatic loan payments and make it unnecessarily onerous in order for them to recalculate automatic loan payments. I 've contacted them twice with regards to me paying down the loan while the automatic payment amount has gone unchanged. This varies very differently from other student loan service providers I have used, specifically XXXX XXXX. In addition, Nelnet does not allow for me to change the automatic payment myself, so regardless of how much I pay they will continue to take additional money out of my account to force me into shortening the duration of the loan rather than lowering my monthly payments. I have already submitted a letter indicating I do not want to advance my payment schedule, they continue to ignore my requests.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I requested a fraud alert at TransUnion online per instructions from the FTC in relation to the XXXX  breach. Upon completing security questions, I was told I was unable to verify my identity. I answered all questions correctly, however for the one asking which one of the four credit cards I use, was forced to pick only one, even though I have three of those credit cards. I was able to add the alert by phone but had to go through two sales messages which was a waste of my time, for something I should have been able to do online when I answered all questions truthfully. The phone number provided was a recorded line, thus I could add the fraud alert successfully, however could not tell them my security question data was inaccurate.

Company: Automated Collection Services, Inc. (MO)

I was XXXX years old and still under my mother 's care. Now knowing she never had health insurance for me and was not giving me any of my bills, I as a young adult, knew nothing of most of these debts. I never received correspondence or the right to dispute. I had serious, chronic health issues as a young adult and am now- 5 years later recieving relentless calls from blocked and out of states numbers. 2 times they never disclosed they were debt collectors and refused to stop calling me while I was at work. I contacted one back and began a payment plan with them. At first they refused to take less than XXXX dollars a month- I am a XXXX XXXX college student and living on my own. I told them the very most I could do was XXXX and have been paying it for a year with no correspondence of my current balance. No one ever mentioned I could dispute it or could send me an itemized bill- some of the bills are over 7 years old!!

Issue: Can't contact lender or servicer — 
Company: Alliant Capital Management LLC (CA)

First I received an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX that my account was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Then I started receiving calls from a XXXX from Alliant Capital Management they started saying if I did not pay {$13000.00} and set up payment arrangements that they were going to pursue a judgment on me and garnish my wages and I need to lock in with them right then and right there. I was scared and frightened. I did research and no such company exists. I do not know if it is a legitimate company and do not want to make payment arrangement unless I am certain and I do n't like being threatened. The original amount of my loan was {$600.00}.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not given enough info to verify debt
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (DC)

Greetings, My name is XXXX XXXX and I am filing a complaint on behalf of myself against Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ). My complaint arises from PRA 's illegal attempt to collect on an alleged debt ( Charged-off account ) using tactics that violate several federal laws ( Both FDCPA and FCRA ). PRA is currently attempting to re-age an old account by providing false information to the credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in regards to a charged off account. Attached to this complaint are three documents that show this illegal activity. The first document is the initial letter from PRA, which details their involvement as a debt collector on behalf of XXXX On that document you will see the full account number detailed. The second document is an export of an old credit report showing the exact date that this account opened as well as the account number and company name that was collecting on this account, XXXX. The third document is a newer credit report which shows that PRA has now added themselves to my credit report ( in the place of XXXX ) and have also changed the date the account was opened as well as the account number to reflect a number that they created which mimics the old account number ( See documents ). They added new characters to make it seem as if this is a new account. Also, on the newer report PRA claims that the alleged debts " Date Major Delinquency First Reported '' was on XX/XX/2015, three months after they placed this fraudulent account on my credit report. By affecting the dates on my credit report PRA now has effected the time in which this item will fall off of my credit history. Per XXXX law, this account is well past the statute of limitations for debt accounts based on the original creditors account closure date, which was removed by PRA and no longer exists on my credit report. 

Additionally, I sent two letters to PRA demanding that they validate this alleged debt and their involvement. They did not comply with my demands ( Package Attached ). 

Just so we are all clear : 1. I have never opened an account with Portfolio Recovery Associates. 
2. Portfolio Recovery Associates have never sent proof that there is a signed contract that exists that binds myself, a natural person, and Portfolio Recovery Associates, a creature of the State who is defined as an ARTIFICIAL PERSON. 

Lastly, these continued illegal attempts to collect on this alleged debt have left me XXXX exhausted. I am hoping that this can be resolved without any need to go the legal route, which is my next option. 

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (NY)

My husband 's employment contract was revised at the end of XX/XX/XXXX. He was worried that his job was being eliminated, so he notified our mortgage loan servicer, Caliber Home Loans ( trustee for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) of hardship and asked for Loss mitigation application info. He made mortgage payments until the end of XX/XX/XXXX at which point he lost his job. The XX/XX/XXXX., and XX/XX/XXXX. payments that he made were not credited to our mortgage. My husband was told not to pay anymore payments until loss mitigation was submitted. One payment was returned to us and there is a partial payment still sitting in our account that was never applied. Loss mitigation paperwork was promised on the numerous times my husband called requesting it, but never received despite the promises. Caliber Home Loans lied to us. On XX/XX/XXXX, we were served in person with a foreclosure summons. We did not receive a 90 day pre-foreclosure letter by certified or registered mail. We did not receive housing counselor information either. We contacted the NYS Attorney General 's office and eventually was referred to XXXX  XXXX XXXX, a law firm that is representing us in the foreclosure case. We are currently in the settlement conference phase. My husband is now gainfully employed and prepared to resume payments, but Caliber has adjourned twice already.

I took out a XXXX loan with a repayment amount of XXXX by the date of XX/XX/XXXX which would automatically draft from my account. The attempt to collect the payment was not done until XX/XX/XXXX ( which was verified with the lender and bank ) unfortunately other items came out of my account the day prior resulting in the payment being returned. Had the payment come out on XX/XX/XXXX as agreed it would have gone through and the other item would have been returned. I also applied for a loan during this time but received an error that a loan could not be provided until the previous loan was paid ( This is how I found out that the payment did n't go through ) although the error was provided the loan was actually processed unbeknownst to me and the repayment amount was XXXX as opposed to the XXXX I could 've given right back to them because I now had to worry about paying the other loan. They are not returning calls or answering my calls since these errors have been brought to there attention and they are continuing to take on additional interest and fees. Please help me. I only did this to help my mother with her XXXX meds I just want to pay them what I owe.

I am a victim of identity theft. I wrote to this company TWICE. My first was a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. My second letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. On both occasions, I filled up and submitted an FTC affidavit and had them notarized and sent this company a copy of the notarized Affidavit. On those dates, I also did the same thing with XXXX and XXXX. On both occasions, BOTH XXXX AND XXXX, REMOVED THE UNAUTHORIZED, FRAUDULENT INQUIRIES I disputed. TRANSUNION REFUSED TO remove these unauthorized, fraudulent inquiries. If they did investigate, they will not ask for additional information. I sent them a letter twice and a notarized FTC Affidavit containing the list of the fraudulent inquiries and dates. They blatantly violated FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ).
