On XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX EST I spoke with XXXX  at SLS ( Specialized Loan Servicing ) & requested a copy of my complete mortgage payment history on my account.

He did not want to email me the information nor give me any information regarding my dispute. The agent was very rude and could not understand me. He Kept repeating the same thing over and over. It was very hard to understand his accent as well. Nothing was resolved or even token care of.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Greetings : I have been paying Wells Fargo Dealership for about 4 years for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. The installment is XXXX per month. I have never paid the account late. 

However, all 3 credit companies reflect a 1 time late payment for 30 days on XX/XX/2016, when it was not. I attempted to dispute the issue to the XXXX credit companies and submitted a Wells Fargo Letter as proof since WF indicated that it was an error on their part for this time frame. The credit companies advised that WF needs to update them and WF has not.

The WF letter states, " would like to inform you that an internal processing error may have affected the date that you received your loan statement between the months of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2016. Please note that we corrected the issue .... '' ( they have not ). Please help and assist if you can as this matter is reported for 7 years. Thanks XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (NY)

I had a lease through Toyota Financial Services ( TFS ) which ended. I received a letter from TFS dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating I owed {$430.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX ( Agent XXXX ) who reviewed the charges. Most of the charges were incorrectly billed to my account. There was a questionable amount remaining of {$62.00}. That amount was for a pro rated property tax amount due from the previous lease holder ( the lease is a transfer ). XXXX was not sure I owed this charge and told me to call back on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm the status of this charge. 

When I called back on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told the amount went to collection with XXXX XXXX. To avoid reporting to credit agencies I promptly paid the balance. 

Going back to TFS on XX/XX/XXXX I have been transferred around several times and once again was told to call back. 

In the interim I have been transferred to 5 different people, all from different departments of TFS ( or some other corporate entity of Toyota? )

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (VA)

I set up a payment of XXXX - the statement balance - to be paid on XX/XX/XXXX prior to the due date for the statement. I confirmed that this payment was set up more than once. I am sure of this as I was closely watching my XX/XX/XXXX spending and went into the site to verify the amount and date of payment for my personal spreadsheet tracker. The website did not pay the amount. I also did not receive notifications about the account being due as I had previously set up and received in the past. I have sent multiple messages about the XXXX interest and XXXX late fee and how it should be removed. The website regularly does not work - I have had issues trying to download statements or make payments.

Product: Mortgage — Reverse mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (TX)

About 6 years ago ... due to the fact that I am at poverty level ... I shopped around, carefully, for a reverse mortgage company so that I could continue to live in my home. I found XXXX XXXX out of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX ). 

I went through the process of getting a reverse mortgate on my home with XXXX. Everything was fine up until about a year ago when I was informed by mail that my account was being " handed over '' to another company ... XXXX XXXX, which also happens to be a debt collector, with an " F '' rating with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Now, every time I have to conduct business over the phone with them, I have to hear the intimidating phrase " We have to inform you that we are a debt collector ''. Why do I have to hear that every time I conduct business regarding my reverse mortgage? 

My complaint : At no time during the reverse mortgage process was I informed by XXXX that they either could or would turn my account over to another company that was not only also a debt collector, but that has an " F '' rating with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. It's infuriating to have to deal with that " we're a debt collector '' stuff ... and since I had no choice in the matter, I want to know what are my options. Can XXXX XXXX be forced to handle my account again? 

How is it legal for an originating mortgage company to just hand over your account to another entity against your wishes or without your approval ... and without having informed you of that possibility beforehand? Had I been informed that this would or could happen, I would never have taken out the reverse mortgage with XXXX. Not telling people that they might do this is, in my opinion, deceptive. 

Thanks,

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Since around XXXX 2017 I have been communicating with Suntrust Bank and I made them aware of the situation regarding my account. The Suntrust account and the vehicle financed with the Suntrust loan was ordered to be paid my my ex-husband but he failed to finance the car and pay off the account as ordered by the court. Since my account was late several times because of this I decided to contact XXXX to have the vehicle repossessed by the, sot hat they can get their money back. Me and my husband spoke to XXXX repossession department and provided them information about the whereabouts of the car so that they can reposes the vehicle and sell the vehicle, Since our first contact with Suntrust we explain the situation and explained then that we were trying to settle the account. The vehicle finally was repossessed and once again we contacted the repo department to have them auction sell the vehicle ASAP since we did n't not want to incur any more charges. however we were told that we have to wait. we obtained the information of the recovery department and we contact them and we were told that we had to wait to settle the account. Once the account finally was at the recovery department we were able to settle the account, the representative stated that the account was going to be reported as paid in full, we agreed to that and we sent the payment to settle the account, however the account is still being reported as " Charged off '' After all the communications that we had wit Suntrust they failed to acknowledge that we were trying to settle the account with them since my ex-husband failed to do what that was ordered by the court, and up to this date my account still shows as charged off when I was told that it will be reported ad paid in full.

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

I refinanced with XXXX in early XX/XX/XXXX, I have been on an Income Driven Repayment Plan and the Public Service Loan forgiveness plan for the duration. I work as a XXXX. I have called almost every year to challenge their qualifying payments tally which, as of today, is still more than 2 years behind. I receive conflicting information from customer service reps each time I call. Two years ago I was considering a job change and the representative said that as long as I still worked as a XXXX my loan forgiveness track should not be jeopardized. I left a lucrative XXXXl position to work for a small XXXX start up that provides XXXX XXXX for high volume or under served XXXX all over the country. I found out this year that the last 8 months of loan payments I made have not counted because my current employer does not qualify for loan forgiveness. As a small company, it appears, they can not apply for the tax exempt, non-profit status that large, wealthy XXXX enjoy. And so now instead of having about 5 years left of repayment, I have 15 years left of repayment totaling an additional {$250000.00} ( more than a half million in total, not counting the 4 years of repayment to XXXX XXXX before I refinanced in XXXX ). And so as of now the {$180000.00} I borrowed in XXXX in my late XXXX to become a XXXX will cost me more than {$500000.00} well into my XXXX. And now I have to scramble to refinance with another company, or sell my house in order to pay off the remaining {$190000.00} balance -- XXXX XXXX  more than I borrowed almost a decade ago, despite consecutive monthly payments. Mine was one of the first XXXX   classes forced to enter repayment during residency, so we were all on IDR plans and making payments too low to even cover the interest we were generating on our highest interest loans, so every year our principal balance just kept climbing. And then legislation was passed so that we could no longer write off that student loan interest. My loans continue to cost me {$25000.00} a year out of my take home pay, and now the department of education wants to extend my repayment period an extra decade even though the kind of work I do has not changed nor has my salary. This is money I can't save for retirement, money I can't put away for my daughter so that she never has to struggle with immense student debt like this, money I can't spend on home improvements or family vacations. If we told XXXX  students that the penalty for becoming a XXXX was at least a half million dollars paid out over 30 years, I am sure that far fewer American students would pursue XXXX. Which is a XXXX shame.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I am reaching out to formally dispute the inclusion of a bankruptcy on my credit report, as this entry is inaccurate. I have a letter directly from the court that clearly confirms this bankruptcy should not have been reported to your agency or reflected on my credit report. Despite this official documentation, the bankruptcy still appears on my record, which is both alarming and unjustified. Additionally, the involvement of an unauthorized third party in this matter further complicates the situation and raises concerns about the accuracy and security of my personal information. This makes the issue even more serious, as it not only reflects an error in reporting but also a breach of trust regarding the handling of my sensitive data.
