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

When I was XXXX years old I thought it would be a great idea to go to a XXXX school. I found one in XXXX and before I knew it I had a loan with XXXX XXXX for {$20000.00}. What I did n't understand at XXXX were the terms of the loan. I 've been paying the loan for 10 years and my balance is still {$20000.00}. Looking at it now I see that my re-payment amount is {$75000.00}. So far all of my payments have gone to interest. {$75000.00} for a beauty school which I consider to be a scam seems insane. I pay over {$300.00} a month.I do believe I was a victim of predatory lending. The total payments so far already add up to far more than my original loan amount.

Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (NY)

My HSBC business accounts were closed by the bank in 2013, so I personally and specifically asked them to close my personal accounts as well. Last month, I received a statement from them for an open credit card account. It had no billed amounts or balances but it showed the account still open. I 'm concerned that an open account with no activity might pose a security risk and I do not wish to take responsibility for that. Also, it could cause trouble for me if I choose to take a mortgage. Should they choose to close it, it could impact my credit at a time that I need it.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (IA)

OCWEN is claiming that my account is severely delinquent when it is not. They decided to put me in escrow recently, even though I have always paid my own homeowners insurance on time and in full each month, I have paid my own real estate taxes, and my mortgage payments were current. I have made multiple phone calls to OCWEN to resolve this, and each time I have spoken with someone who does not understand me ( does not speak clear English ) and is unwilling to help me with this loan. I have requested to speak to a supervisor, to which I am told I can not. My loan payments have suffered because of being charged for the escrow ( which is double my monthly mortgage payment ) and I have accrued multiple additional fees from OCWEN as a result. This happened last year as well, and I thought the issue was resolved. I am currently being told my mortgage is excessively delinquent due to the escrow and fees being charges by OCWEN. I am requested the escrow be removed from my account, so that I can go back to making these payments myself.

Company: FINANCIAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INC (CA)

XXXX hired Financial Asset Management Systems to collect on a private student loan debt. Under complaint number XXXX, Financial Asset Management Systems ( " FAMS '' ) alleges that they used " XXXX Collection Advantage to identify, confirm, and/or validate your location information due to the fact that we have been unable to identify your actual mailing address and you have mailed to provide same. '' I had requested in writing to FAMS in XXXX 2015, not to contact me anymore to which they agreed. There was no reason that FAMS needed location information since they had a cease and desist request from me. However, they used the XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015, for which there was no reason for it since they were not to contact me after XXXX 2015. The only reason FAMS used the XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015, was to harass and annoy me in flagrant violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. They had already received a written cease and desist in XXXX 2015, so there was no reason to try and contact me after that time.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (MD)

In XXXX, 2015 while at work, I received emails and phone call from M & TBank stating there was suspicious activity on my account. When talking to the young lady from the bank she said a purchase was being made at XXXX in my area for {$400.00}, I said I am at work and I initially thought one of my clients stole my card from me. I immediately left work to try to get to the bank before closing, and I found that my debit card was actually in my car arm rest where I left it a few days prior. I asked the bank officer how could someone make purchases with my card when it was in my car. He said that people are able to steal your identity and scan your card to make duplicate cards. Because of fear of more frauduelnt activity, I looked at all of my credit cards and bank statements and found that no other activity was observed. I also filed a police report. The money was credited to my accoung within 10 business days, however as of XXXX XXXX, 2015 the money has been taken from me again and now there is overdraft fees accruing on the account. I have talked to several representatives and no one has offered any real resolve.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account terms
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I was first made aware that I had an outstanding debt with " XXXX XXXX '' entity when it first appeared as a derogatory entry reflecting an outstanding debt of {$830.00} ; and after extensive research and number out calls I was made aware that this is an entity owned by and/or affiliated with XXXX. I then called time warner cable approximately 8-10+ times over a period of 4 weeks, with each call having spent in excess of 30-90 minutes per call ; each time ending the call with a different promise from each representative that I spoke to confirming that they would be researching the debt, and getting back to me with a resolution. Despite these promises on numerous, separate accounts, I never received any follow up- by phone, email not by US mail to validate the debt. The only information that I was given during one of my initial calls with XXXX was that their claim appears to reflect an amount outstanding for equipment that was not turned in following the termination of my cable contract with them dating back to 2011 ; to which I made it clear that I was 100 % certain that I did in fact turn my equipment in at the earlier date to which they were referring. My issue with them notwithstanding their dishonestly and lack of cocern and follow up ; was that I wqs Never informed by any Means ( phone email not US mail ) of this alleged debt, and the first instance was almost 5 years following the date of their claim on debt, never once by the entity themselves ( XXXX or under the Alias XXXX ) ; but only on the instance in my credit report Consent to publish the description of what happened? Consent provided This is about a ( n ) Debt collection : Other ( i.e. phone, health club, etc. ) Which of these best describes your issue? Disclosure verification of debt : Right to dispute notice not received DESIRED RESOLUTION What do you think would be a fair resolution to your issue? 
Remove debt as listed on my credit reports with all XXXX credit reporting entities Immediately. The amount of time, agony and negative reflection this has caused is unacceptable, and their lack of concern for follow up ; and dishonestly about doing so is extremely concerning.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I checked my Bank of America account to find that my balance was {$0.00}. There was a HOLD posted for {$2900.00} by the bank. When I contacted Bank of America I was informed that the hold for a judgment and they gave me a phone number to call of a collection agency. I contacted the agency and was informed that there was a judgment against me from XXXX for a medical bill in the amount of {$680.00} ( the original bill was {$250.00} in XXXX ) I then contacted the obgyn office to confirm and we concluded that notices were sent to the incorrect address. I immediately called the collection agency and settled the balance. The agency sent me the documentation which was sent to Bank of America in the amount of {$680.00}. She also faxed me a coy of the receipt for payment, original bill and letter to Bank of America to release all funds immediately. I called the customer service dept at BOA and requested clarification and documentation as to why {$2900.00} was removed from my account when the judgment was for {$680.00}. They refused to provide any documentation to support the {$2900.00}, refused to credit back the additional funds and informed me that I would be receiving a check in the mail in 3-5 business days for {$2200.00} ( my $ XXXX {$680.00} for the judgment ). I explained that I have already paid the collector ( which I have scanned copies from the office supporting the letter to BOA for {$680.00}, the letter to release funds and my receipt of payment to settle the account ) and I can not wait to have the funds replaced. There are several outstanding checks that have not cleared and without those funds the checks will bounce. After over an hour on the phone with BOA explaining the situation to multiple people, they said that their legal department will not speak to customers but they informed the BOA customer service manager that the collection agency 's letter stated to remove the {$2900.00} for " housing expenses '' the judgment was for an XXXX. I informed him that I have a copy of the letter that was sent to BOA as well as confirmation from the employee who issued the letter XXXX stating that BOA was completely wrong. They are still continuing to hold all of my funds. I told them I can understand holding the {$680.00} until the letter has been processed, as these things take time. But I can not understand how they can legally withhold the rest of my funds without cause.

A notice was put on my door and I contacted both XXXX & XXXX and XXXX  to try and resolve the issue. XXXX referred me back to XXXX & XXXX several times. I requested documentation from XXXX & XXXX including but not limited to information on the original debt, any terms and conditions I agreed to with XXXX, and a payment plan. 

The payment plan was provided several weeks after the initial conversation and was dated XXXX week after the initial conversation but was not delivered until XXXX weeks later. When I reached out to the via email, they ignored it several times. I then sent them a more demanding email letting them know I would file a complaint against them for bad debt collection practice and once again requesting the terms of service and this time insisting that I have an arbitration clause. XXXX & XXXX has once again ignored my request for documentation. I have an active court date approaching and I am of the belief that they do not have the right to sue me for this. 

By ignoring my requests for documentation, they are forcing me to appear in court to get a default judgement against me.

I called the BofA service number again, and selected the " call back '' option. They called me back in about XXXX minutes. An automated voice called me back and said BofA couldn't help me at this time and disconnected me.

I have attached the notice from BofA from their website.

In Texas, Speedy Cash acts as a Credit Access Business ( CAB ), with loans issued by unaffiliated third-party lenders.

Additionally, I am a victim of identity theft, further invalidating this claim. I request the immediate deletion of account XXXX from all credit bureaus.
