Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CT)

Parent plus private loan for XXXX my XXXX year XXXX of college at XXXX, my parents helped pay the interest down every month until I graduated, I then got a letter about XXXX months after I graduated with a late payemnt ... have been paying XXXX aka XXXX XXXX aka XXXX 12 and 11.75 interest rates on this loan.. over XXXX has been paid back on this XXXX dollar loan and I still owe XXXX ... my next highest interest rate is 5 % I believe for other companies.. it 's forcing my to live in my parents basement and I 'm an investment advisor with a series XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and life accident and health insurance license. It 's cases like this that kill credit scores, slacken the housing market and depress the middle class. I 've written to navient XXXX times and an uninformed individual picks up the phone who never helps. Navient/XXXX//XXXX XXXX most likely got that XXXX they loaned me for XXXX for 0 % because of the federal Reserva q/e and I 'm fed up with how they 're taking advantage of the American dream, my parents did n't get to go to college so it was always drilled into my head that it 's anot opportunity I have to take advantage of. College ceos who raise out of state tuition and in state tuition no this all to we 'll and it wrong. When it comes to profit margins college education, especially state universities, should n't operate on the same principles that for profit corporations do. 

My name is XXXX XXXX and I believe in the words I just wrote and I think many other people do to. I 'm far from a XXXX and I 'm pro capitalism but for a while one would say " there 's something going on here and you do n't know what it is, do you XXXX XXXX '' ... well I think more than I have figured it out and it 's time to correct the next bubble before it bursts. 

( The {$15000.00} is a real figure, not my total loan just XXXX and I know others have it worse but I 'm sick of my own country taking advantage of age old ideology of college and federal policy loop holes )

Issue: Other fee — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX)

I was charged interest on a recent credit card statement of XXXX which was onerous given that I had sent XXXX checks in the same envelope for the entire balance minus XXXX. XXXX check was for XXXX and the other check was for XXXX. I had made an error in my math as I normally pay in full which is why I noticed an interest charge. Given there was only XXXX balance remaining I was mystified that I could have accrued XXXX interest charge. After much repetition of their policy of charging interest on the average purchase balance I finally got the supervisor to tell me how that average purchase balance was calculated in my case. They applied the check of XXXX and for whatever reason, tho they posted having received the XXXX check as well on the same day, it was not included in the adjustment to my balance owing. Meaning, they calculated interest on a liability they did not have as they calculated it as tho the XXXX had never been received, tho it is clearly posted. They immediately credited me back the interest, but I was upset for all the people less fortunate than I who could have been unfairly charged, or do get unfairly charged all the time. Isn't it fraud to charge interest on a liability they did not have?
How could they do this? The resolution is not my being credited----they did that. Resolution for me is having someone explain to me how this is not fraud. And who and how and what gets to decide to credit the XXXX and not the $XXXX----if they were only going to credit one check before calculating interest, is it legal to only credit the check with the smallest amount paid in? What's up with that? The whole thing screams of fraud to me and made me sick to my stomach. Again, I am blessed and have the resources to pay in full and get "credited" when something snarky is done as I am a good customer, but what about all the others who are not so blessed, nor persistent, or just plain careful when they read their statement?

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Servis One, Inc., Titusville, PA Branch (OR)

BSI Financial Services began calling my cell phone back on XX/XX/XXXX and has continued to call repeatedly over the last XXXX months to collect a debt from someone that I do not know. This cell phone number was issued to me as a new number through XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX so I offered to provide the company with proof of my identity and proof that the cell number was new. 

I repeatedly offered to FAX or mail proof of account/identity information to BSI, but they refused and told me each time I called that they would remove my cell number. However, the collection calls continued month after month. Each time, I would call back BSI at the extension given, the main customer service number option XXXX or use the BSI contact form to demand that they stop contacting me about a debt that was not mine. I also kept offering documentation which they refused over and over. I have proof that I contacted BSI after each and every call. I have proof that BSI have continued to call. I have proof that this number was a issued as a new service and does not belong to the debtor. I have left many voice mail messages for the agent " XXXX at extension XXXX '' with no response. I have left XXXX messages on voice mail for " XXXX 's '' supervisor BSI VP of Operations XXXX XXXX with no return call ever made to resolve this. 

I informed BSI in my voice mails to them that they were not to leave any more of this debtors personal information on my voice mail. The last called received from BSI was XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, I called BSI to inform them that I would be suing for harrassment in my local court system if I did not get a return call and was requesting mediation before pursuing them in court. I waited for several days with no response or return phone call. I filed a {$2000.00} harassment suit in small claims court XX/XX/XXXX that was sent to their Registered Agent in my state. 

I will happily pursue BSI civilly for damages, but I also want BSI to face steep fines for their non compliance with the FDCPA. BSI disclosed personal financial information to someone who is not a party to the debt in voice mails, failed to comply with the Federal do not call list and placing multiple harassing phone calls to a party who is not the debtor after being informed that the number was not a valid contact number. Please let me know how to pursue my rights and how you would like proof for this complaint to be provided to your agency.

Two or three times each week I receive robocalls from Harris & Harris Debt Collectors ( harriscollect.com ) asking me to return their calls at XXXX. Each time I do so, they ask me if I 'm someone else and then, after confirming I 'm not, they tell me the call was in error and promise to remove me from their list. The harassing calls then continue. My attempts to reason with the company have only resulted in rudeness. They have no interest in talking to me in person. They only rely on their robocalls.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Comerica (MI)

I signed up to have my Social Security check deposited onto the Direct Express card with my first deposit on XXXX XXXX 2015. I had received no card in the mail and on XX/XX/XXXX called them and found out that my information had been used fraudulently. Someone had ordered a card and it was caught shortly after by their fraud dept and cancelled and my account frozen. They never contacted me and admitted that they were at fault for not doing so. I was told I needed to go the Social Security office and file an MOU. I did, and was helped by XXXX XXXX who contacted Direct Express. She spoke with XXXX who agreed to send me a new card via XXXX expedited and that I would n't be charged for the shipping. I was told to call them back later that day and answer the security questions again to remove the freeze. I had already done the questions two times earlier that day and passed but did it again when I got home. I did get the card in two days and was able to pay my bills however, I was charged the shipping. I called back on XXXX XXXX and was told they were requesting a refund. As of today, it was not posted. I called again and was told that they had called me and I answered but hung up therefore they closed the ticket and I would n't receive the refund. That is a lie. If they had called me I would not have hung up. It is possible that a call came through where they were completely silent and I hung up after saying Hello, Hello with no response. I do n't remember that happening in past week but it 's possible. But, why would that cancel my refund for something that was never to be charged in the first place? Preposterous! I asked to speak to a supervisor and she told me I was wasting her time and being argumentative. I asked to speak to someone above her, she said NO. I asked to file an official complaint, she said NO. She was the antithesis of helpful. There are no other avenues for me to file a complaint. I have found out since XX/XX/XXXX, that there are a huge number of people who have had the exact same thing happen. Online, there are XXXX complaints of people having their information stolen, cards requested fraudulently and the maddening response from Direct Express who seem to find glee in treating us terribly. They never gave me a concrete answer if they were going to investigate the criminals who were attempting to steal my identity and money. From the number and similarity of stories of people just like me along with the comments from Social Security that this card has had a massive surge in fraud complaints, I think a thorough investigation of Direct Express needs to be done as there seems to be a high probability of an inside job. I also want a refund of the shipping charges. I also want to know what is being done to find the perpetrators of my fraud. I told them multiple times that the phone number and email address they had on file for me prior to XXXX XXXX belonged to the criminals. I verified my information and passed all security tests several times. This entire situation is beyond a nightmare!

My mortgage was bought out by M & T Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX. I pay my payment through bill pay and it is set up to be delivered to M & T Bank by a certain date. If it arrives XX/XX/XXXX or after they will charge me a late fee according to their statement. They have gotten my payment before XX/XX/XXXX and charged me a late fee on several occasions.

It happens often that they charge the fee regardless. I usually pay my payment between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX the first years they had the contract, but now since they have been charging me a late fee regardless, and I ca n't get them to stop, I just pay it reluctantly with the late fee as part of my monthly payment.

Company: Seterus, Inc. (CA)

I have a loan with Seterus Inc. Loan number XXXX. I always pay on tine and never missed a payment. Last month in addition to my monthly payment of {$240.00} I transferred {$35000.00} in intent to cover part of my principal. Seterus, instead of covering my principal, transferred the money in to so-called Suspense account. I called them to make sure that they transfer the money from this account to my principal. They promised to do that, but of course never did. It is convenient to them to keep my principal higher in order to charge me more interest. This first telephone call I made was on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Since then I was calling 2 times a week to see what has been done. So far nothing has been done and they just feeding me promises and telling how hard and how long it takes to transfer the money from one account to another. So now after a month I have no choice, just to look for your help. 
Thank you so much for your help in advance, XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (KY)

I received a phone call from a debt collector claiming to be from a law office on an old credit card account that was from XXXX. The man that I spoke to was named XXXX at XXXX he attempted to call me several times while I was driving but the call kept dropping. When I was finally in an area that I could return a call to him, I did, and the following conversation transpired that left me feeling UN-eased and uncomfortable. He asked me if I was going to take care of the debt, and I replied no because there was a savings account attached to that credit card that would be used in the instance that I defaulted on the credit card. He told me no there was n't and I replied yes it was from XX/XX/XXXX, then, he told me that the account was opened by me XX/XX/XXXX. I then told him that I did n't go by the name he was stating over the phone since XX/XX/XXXX when one year later I went into the XXXX and the military legally changed my name to my maternal mother 's last name. So I told him good luck proving that I existed by that name in XX/XX/XXXX, because I 've been going by my maternal mother last name since XX/XX/XXXX ; at which time he responds to me by saying I knew you were a transgender and bye. So what recourse do I have to pursue any matter in this situation with this certain individual that totally got it wrong and made a derogatory offensive remark to me?

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
