Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (CA)

First off, I want to note that I am " escalating '' this to the level of the CFPB immediately as it is directly related to a claim I had to make in ~XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX that ( I 'm finding now ) was incompletely resolved. 

My loan with XXXX entered repayment on roughly XX/XX/XXXX. I signed up for automatic payments on XX/XX/XXXX for which I have email confirmation, including that my first automatic debit would take place on XX/XX/XXXX ( the day the bill was due ). The first bill, however, was for {$50.00} ( more than the minimum I owe each month ) with a {$30.00} late fee assessed. When I asked the company how I could possibly have a late fee assessed on my very first bill generated from them, they actually responded by telling me that they do not assess late fees. When I pointed out the irony of this situation, they insisted that it must be that I had made an underpayment -- until I got them to actually lay eyes on the bill that very clearly labels this extra {$30.00} as a late fee. Finally, I got someone to review the account to determine the origin of this late fee. The first person I spoke to reviewed everything he had -- dating back to XX/XX/XXXX -- and could not find any source of the late fee. Instead of dismissing it, he said he would have to file a case to put it under review. Apparently they tried to contact me some time later, but I do not have record of that contact. In the mean time, I began receiving up to 5 phone calls a day telling me I was delinquent in payments. Today, I finally got someone to review the " investigation '' and she told me that I had late fees assessed ( I believe ) in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. In fact, I was still a full time student during that period. 

The way this relates back to a previous claim I have made is that around that time I briefly transferred schools to complete a XXXX XXXX degree " in the middle '' of my XXXX education. In that process, my name was somehow deleted from the national registry of students and all my loans entered repayment at once and began to be harassed literally all day long for repayment having to recount my story at least 5 times per day to deaf ears. It seems to me that this late fee must have been assessed at that time and was never reversed when my case was first handled.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a prescreened offer from XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX to opt-out just as it indicated at the bottom of the page. I also went to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and filled out the form for the 5 Year Opt-Out. I received another XXXX XXXX mailing on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to which I immediately called XXXX for an opt-out again. Today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received another XXXX XXXX mailing. I thought something was not right so I pulled my XXXX credit report to find that there is no mention of an opt-out. I used to see that I had an opt-out on the file. After three motions for an opt-out it should be reflected somewhere. Today I mailed the opt-out form to make it permanent, not just for five years. There should be some way to check and see if that is on the file.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't temporarily postpone payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (AR)

These loans in which my parents and I thought to be much like the federal loans were very deceiving. At this time, the interest rates that I have reviewed have more than tripled the amount in which I borrowed. The biggest issues is that my family and I can not make the payments at this time. I have tried to get them to help out, but it is apparent that they can not reduce my payment any lower. I suggest that no one use PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS.

My loan with Wells Fago was paid off on XX/XX/2016 loan # XXXX. I refinanced my FHA loan. Both the title company and Wells Fargo confirmed I would receive my current escrow balance of {$1700.00} in a check. I called WF to follow up on XX/XX/2016 as to when I would receive this check discovering the check amout was differnet from above. {$150.00} has held from the check amout in escrow to pay another month of Mortgage Insurance making the check amount {$1500.00}. 
{$450.00} was already collected on my Mortgage Insurance Payoff Statement ( 3 months- see attached ) I feel that I am owed the {$150.00} in escrow and I do not owe another month. 
Seems to me I am being charged a Pre-Payment Pentalty

Was caught up in a real estate scam. Now I have a mortgage in my name for a house I do not own or live in. XXXX Years later, no one is making payments on the house and instead of foreclosing and ending this nonsense Wells Fargo wants me to somehow magically get the title back in my name. They wo n't foreclose and they have attorneys contacting me to tell me to transfer a title back into my name that I ca n't possibly do. XXXX complaint here also, everytime the rep from Wells Fargo contacts me he rude and ugly towards to the point of me yelling at him on the phone.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NV)

I first spoke with them while I was on welfare and financially unable to pay. I spoke with a women named XXXX and her supervisor, a XXXX. They stated that if I paid a part of it they would then help me to place the account in some status where they could not collect, I stated that I was going to dispute the original loan, due to the other party not upholding their side of the contract, and expalined the whole problem to them, they continued to call, sometimes as early as XXXX, they send quite a few emails and letters to my home address. I started to work, and I contacted them to let them know, and again to state that I was going to take the same legal actions other students that had taken against the school we attended, they stated they could help me dispute it, but that they would not be able to unless I paid a portion of the debit. I also stated that I was unable to recieve calls on my cellphone during my work hours as cellphones are prohibited to use at my job, they continue to call during working hours. I have tried to find a way to legally dispute the debitbut all the information I have found advises to seek legal representation, and I am financially unable to due so, I dont know what to do now. I refuse to pay any portion of the debit because I was given false statistics on graduation 's, I was given false wage amounts for the field I studied in the area I lived in, I was also not given my certification that the school had stated would be given, even though I made the XXXX 's List, due to the schools negligence in communicating with the gov't agency that awards the certificates, nor was I given a copy of my transcripts, despite repeated requests for them. I was also not informed that the credits earned at that school were not transferrable, so I cant enroll at another school, and due to being unable to prove I had attended and graduated from this program, I have not been able to work in the field I studied. The school was XXXX XXXX, part of XXXX Colleges, who have now filed for bancruptcy. I am not sure how to dispute the debit, and I have continued to call Navient and explain the situation, I have requested that they transfer me to this dept that they state they have that can assist me in dispiting the debit, but they refuse to do so unless I pay part of the debit. So, I am unsure now, what to do, or what options are available to me. I also feel it is unfair for them to have continued to charge interest among other fees during the time I was on welfare. And there is no contact information that I can find to speak directly with the school.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Wells Fargo is in violation of CA Real Estate Laws, acting in bad faith and in violation of CAHBOR laws and anti dual tracking laws. Wells Fargo must be investigated immediately as this is a very serious violation of ethical guidelines that lenders and servicers must adhere to. At issue specifically is borrower 's request to do a short sale which Wells Fargo has had for months now. As you will see from the attached docs Wells Fargo countered this particular buyer to a certain purchase price. Once Wells Fargo made a counter Wells Fargo was in a legal contract negotiation per CA law. Per their guidelines Wells Fargo demanded a certain amount of monies for the purchase price of the property at which time the buyer accepted. Once the buyer accepted per CA law Wells Fargo was in a legally binding contract to sell the property to this buyer. Instead of immediately issuing their approval letter Wells Fargo illegally set a foreclosure sale date which is against anti dual tracking laws when a file is under foreclosure prevention and then they further acted maliciously and with malcontent when they sat on the short sale request so as to approach a foreclosure sale date. After many, many escalations Wells Fargo finally came back and said the offer was denied and removed from short sale. This illegal activity is to be hereby CEASE and DESISTED IMMEDIATELY. Wells Fargo is IMMEDIATELY REMOVE their foreclosure sale date due to their gross negligence and willful disregard of CA law. Wells Fargo must immediately fully disclose any all issues they have with the current offer and that may not include the offer amount and parties to the offer as this information was already made aware to Wells Fargo prior to the counter Wells Fargo issued.

All three major credit bureaus have illegally hoarded consumers personal information without this Consumers expressed written consent. Pursuant to the 1974 Privacy Act all 3 credit bureaus violated all privacy rights and allowed personal information to be leaked due to their false and misleading ways. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act all three credit bureaus maliciously and collectively shared this Consumers personal information to make trillions of dollars by selling it to various debt collectors, employers, financial institutions, and a host of others. My wish is for the consumer financial protection bureau to demand on my behalf that all 3 credit bureaus remove all of this Consumers social security numbers, date of births, financial accounts or credit/debit card numbers, driver license numbers, detailed health or medical history or similar sensitive information. All relations with these 3 credit bureaus are now in question for reporting fraudulent information to disgrace this Consumer. Consumer wishes for damages of 10 million dollars from all 3 credit bureaus for their Treasonous deeds and all will be forgiven. Consumer would also like to thank the consumer financial protection bureau for protecting her/his Personal, Family, and Household.
