Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (IL)

In XX/XX/2018 I attempted to change my income based repayment plan form a different IBR plan to RE-PAYE. I was told that I needed to submit an application to change my loan payment plan. During the process, I was told that My loan would be transferred to the standard 10 year repayment plan but in forbearance. I would then need to make a nominal payment, such as {$10.00} to cover the month on the standard payment plan. The following month, my loan would be transferred to the new plan and resume under the new RE-PAYE plan. They did say this would cost me one month of Public Service Loan Forgiveness as the month on the standard payment plan would not count. 

I submitted my application. When the loan was transferred to the standard payment plan, I made a payment of {$10.00} as instructed. I waited and it took 3 months to change payment plans costing me 3 months of Public service loan forgiveness eligibility. 

I submitted a new employment certification and on XX/XX/18 was told that I had made 44 qualifying payments. 

On my XX/XX/2018 statement. I received notice that my account was past due {$0.00}. This was surprising since my account has been on auto payment from the 2nd payment. I also noticed that my Public service loan forgiveness qualifying payments has been reduced to 34 on several of my loans. I called the XXXX number and the person on the phone ( id : XXXX ) told me that the {$10.00} payment while my loan was transitioning plans, was not applied to all loans properly and there was an outstanding balance of a few cents on a few of my loans. She stated that since there was an outstanding balance over the past few months, the payments I made would not count towards public service loan forgiveness. I explained that I followed all instructions given and she agreed that they misapplied my nominal payment. Additionally, no notice was given about this outstanding balance until XX/XX/2018. I started the payment plan change in XX/XX/XXXX. She said she would submit the account for review to get the {$.00} cents removed. I explained I was more worried about the public service loan forgiveness. She stated she wasn't sure what would happen with that. I asked how long it takes to have my account reviewed and she stated she did not know but it could take a few billing cycles. 

At this point, I feel I am being cheated out of qualifying payments towards public service loan forgiveness because of a clerical error. Additionally, I was not properly and timely noticed of a past due amount. Furthermore, I should not have 10 months of public service loan forgiveness retroactively taken away after it was already granted.

I am raising a dispute regarding the continued verification of inaccurate information on my credit report. The attached letters clearly show that the information being reported is not accurate. Despite this documentation, your agency has not made the necessary corrections and continues to report the information as accurate.

This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates proper investigation and correction of disputed information. I request that you take immediate action to reinvestigate and either correct or remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (NC)

USAA has an issue with their Auto Bill pay system 's statement balance option. It currently does not accurately charge based on the balance when there is a fraud dispute that goes in or out. This error has resulted in over {$120.00} in fees to me in the last 10 months. Additionally the statement delivered each month incorrectly calculates the " 2018 Total interest charged in 2018 '', if correct I would have caught this error months before now.

USAA response has been that, while the Auto Bill pay system has a full balance option, it is the customers responsibility to verify the amount each month. They declined to comment on the incorrect totaling per the statement.

I disagree with this assessment, when a customer selects " Statement Balance '' the expectation is that the entire statement balance should be paid, regardless of end of month calculation for fraud payments.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (WY)

Citimortgage changed our loan where we were no longer able to make our payment through automatic withdrawal. They also discontinued our ability to sign into our account on line. I was passed around to different customer service individuals over the last two months. They promised they would send me a form that would allow them to make a automatic withdrawal, but I did not receive them. They said they would be unable to email them, but they could fax or mail it. Today ( XXXX-18 ), I spoke with a customer service rep in XXXX. He said it would be up to 72 hours before a supervisor could get back to me. Also, he will send me an encrypted email with the auto withdrawal form, but that could take up to 7 days. He will also attempt to mail it again. 

Our last two payments have been past due as a result of Citimortgages changes and their inability to resolve a problem they created.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Upon Review of my report, I saw that Equifax is reporting a collection account listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX, account # XXXX, in the amount of {$220.00} that I do not owe. I sent a letter to Equifax on XX/XX/2018 stating this this is being reported in error and asked for validation of this account. I received a copy of my updated report and it stated that the account was verified and reported accurately. I sent another letter to them, once again disputing this account on XX/XX/2018 asking for this account to be validated and to send me written proof, a signed document, contract or the name, number date of who they spoke to and I received the same response, a letter stating that the account was verified and no proof of anything. I sent another letter XX/XX/2018 and I received the same response. No proof, just a letter that stated as verified accurate. Despite three written requests, the unverified item listed above still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law.  They are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NJ)

On XX/XX/2018 I spent a night at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I went to an ATM to make a small cash advance. The machine did not dispense money and I promptly contacted security in the casino and never left the ATM. When security responded I explained that the machine did not dispense money and she told me that I had to call my bank.. Having not moved from the ATM I called Pentagon Federal Credit Union to report my problem. I stood there approximately 20 minutes while they took all pertinent information. After a long wait the representative told me it would be taken care of. I went to a different ATM and took two small cash advances which went through without a hitch. When I came home I noticed that Pentagon Federal Credit Union had the disputed amount in a pending file on my credit card account. After 3 days they simply added it to my total credit car balance, knowing I did not receive the advance. I called PFCU twice and spoke to representatives who assured me they would handle this issue. 
Nothing changed. On XX/XX/2018 I called PFCU yet again and this time I asked the agent to allow me to speak to a supervisor since the agents were doing nothing more than making assurances they could not keep or perhaps lying might be a better term. The supervisor said he would look into my issue and call me back no later than Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX. Needless to say no call came and I am still stuck with no resolution. Every ATM has a camera and on top of that I was in a casino hotel where you are under surveillance every second unless you are in your hotel room or the bathroom so they know full well that the machine never dispensed money and it relatively simple to verify if they made the effort. Moreover the Cas advance fee and dollar amount should not have immediately been posted to my account without PFCU even bothering to check. I have just submitted forms to discontinue any direct deposits to PFCU since they simply can not be trusted. In addition I intend to pay off my PFCU Visa with the exception of the disputed amount and I will close the account, however I will never pay the amount I did not receive. I would rather face this in court out of principal.. I hope that you are able to get a satisfactory answer and explanation as to why. By all means share this information with others. In my view these people can no longer be trusted. I am stuck with PFCU for my mortgage loan but as long as I live I will never trust them again. I need a financial institution that has integrity and is responsive and can give me straight answers. Pentagon Federal Credit Union is not one of those institutions
