Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: GRANITE STATE MANAGEMENT & RESOURCES (ID)

Last year I asked Granite State Management to provide proof of the loans I took out and blocked payments until the provided proof. They provided only two or three things and not a complete list of my loans for which they are taking payments from me. This is by no means sufficient evidence but to keep myself out of trouble I removed the block from my bank account on XXXX XX/XX/2018 so they could resume payments. They did not take a payment for XXXX but they did take a payment for XXXX, which formally cleared XXXX XX/XX/2018. They have not taken a payment since, despite there being money in my account for my loan payments every month. They send unsolicited links to " information about my refusal to pay my loans '' even though I told them that unsolicited links are dangerous and I will not risk my personal information that way. Send snail mail please. They refuse and still send links, accusing me of failing to pay but click their link anyway. I've responded before but now they have blocked all of my emails, including their general info email listed on their website. XXXX is also harassing me now about my supposed failure to pay when I know for a fact that Granite State is just not even trying to take my payments. I verified with my bank that the last payment they took cleared XXXX XX/XX/2018 but they haven't even tried to take a payment since then. They said that GSMR can give me trace numbers they can look up and I tried to ask GMSR for that info but as I said they have blocked all emails from me. You can see where there were no delivery failures to my responses to failures, despite using a general info address. It really seems that GSMR is trying to default me when I could have been paying this whole time. They are not taking the payments they are supposed to take every month and as I said my bank verified that they aren't even trying anymore. I feel that they are targeting me and harassing me and deliberately trying to damage my credit, increase the interest amounts, and hurt my chances of going back to school all because I had the audacity to demand proof of the loans for which they are charging me. They know that the block was removed considering the successful payment they requested and received XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

While attending XXXX I took out several loans in XX/XX/XXXX with the understanding that if I worked as a Special Education teacher, I would qualify for Loan Forgiveness. I received notification from Sallie Mae ( Loan Servicer ) in XX/XX/XXXX that in order to have a fixed interest rate I needed to Consolidate my loans. I was NOT informed that ( 1 ) this consolidation would make me ineligible to receive Teacher Loan Forgiveness ( 2 ) I  was not informed that I had a choice of consolidation options. In XX/XX/XXXX when I had worked as a XXXX XXXX teacher with the XXXX XXXX population for over 5 years I applied for Teacher Loan Forgiveness and was told by XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX that, " the Chief Administrative Office certification indicated that you have not completed XXXX full consecutive academic years of teaching service ''. NO mention of the fact that they had placed me in loans that were ineligible. No mention that I could Re-Consolidate back into loans that would qualify. This denial alone shows practices aimed to entrap people. This denial alone demonstrated misleading and predatory practices. I can and did prove unequivocally that I had worked for XXXX consecutive years. The second application was made in XXXX and again denied - I was not working at a XXXX XXXX school. To add injury to insult in XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the Office of the U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid case number XXXX Office of the Ombudsman outlining my grievances. They contacted the Navient advocate - the company I was filing a complaint against. Needless to say Navient stands behind their practices of deceit and so you are my last defense other than California 's Attorney General XXXX XXXX who is suing Navient.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

I'm not sure about what category this fits into but my issue is with Wellsfargo Bank and their unethical practices. My wife and myself have been trying to get Wellsfargo, for months, to endorse an Insurance Claim check that we spent the last 2 years fighting for in court and ended up with half the money that was appraised for the fixes that needed to be done. I as well as my wife have tried reasoning with them, explaining that we do not have the money to do the repairs and I even offered for them to be able to come by while the repairs are done to make sure that the issues are being addressed. They have refused time and time again. Wellsfargo sent us a letter stating that we had to send the check to their office and that they would hold on to the money and reimburse us once the repairs are done. This is totally observed being that this money does not belong to them and we need this money to do the repairs on our home. I'm hoping that you can help us or point us in the right direction to who could help. These are bully tactics against the consumers and totally unethical practices. I have spoken with several people that I know and they have had similar issues or problems with Wellsfargo.
