Product: Debt collection — Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: NCC Business Services, Inc. (PA)

I have disputed the debt several times and NCC Business Services refuses to remove the error from my credit report. I am a XXXX that I can not complete because I am continually getting denied for student loans. I have never had a collection problem prior to this, and I would have payed the debt and took responsibility of the issue had it been my fault. 
Damages to carpet were caused by a flood during the appliance repair caused by the installer. Shortly after, mortar pointing left the entire apartment covered in dust, including the carpet. Other incidents also occurred, none of which were caused by the tenants. 

I have paid a lawyer to attempt to remove the collection because I have been falsely targeted, but the cost is almost as much as the debt itself. I am fighting this because not only am I not responsible for the damages, but now I must pay fees to fight these claims. I sent a letter to NCC Business Services explaining why the charges are not my responsibility, but they never responded or have done anything to help me resolve the issue.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

It took my servicer, FedLoan Services, 6+ months to complete my request to continue my IBR repayment plan. I made an error on the initial renewal application - I ticked 1 box incorrectly - in XXXX XXXX and my renewal was not fully approved until summer XXXX. FedLoan said they were not able to transmit documents electronically, so I had to submit my paperwork via snail mail - there were at least 30+ days between submission, receipt and review at each iteration, then another period of time before new repayment terms would apply. Thus, my repayment options were to either default temporarily or pay the standard repayment amount of $ XXXX mo- vs my prior IBR repayment level of $ XXXX mo ( and I did not trust their advice that defaulting would have no impact on my credit rating, so I was constantly behind at the standard repayment level until the IBR renewal was approved ). During this time, customer service was vague, confusing, and inaccurate on the timing and status of my application - I spent many hours on the phone trying to understand my error, the process and get updates on when it would be resolved. It was enormously frustrating and costly. I understand FedLoan now accepts documents electronically, but given the recent lawsuit and attention to the poor service from these servicers, I wanted to add my experience to the chorus.

So, I contacted XXXX to establish a repayment plan, but was told that there was no repayment plan that could be offered. In or around XXXX XXXX, 2015, my student loan was transferred to University Account XXXX, XXXX from XXXX after the CFPB Student Loan Settlement became effective.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION ()

After my Fathers death mid XXXX, my mother and I tried to regain control of an account managed by him for which my mother and me are currently co-owners. My parents are international customers living in XXXX, I live in XXXX. For that account a card was existing but the ATM pin was unknown and no cheques were existing. 
It was nearly impossible to contact the bank throughout several months as a key number ( social security number ) is needed to make the phonecall and all known personal contacts at the bank branch were not responding to emails/phonecalls. 
We managed to get through on XXXX XXXX to the branch and the director agreed to send to XXXX a card and a cheques book to regain control of the account. Nothing ever arrived. 
We managed to get through again on XXXX XXXX through the XXXX number and the person attending agreed again to send a card and cheques. Nothing ever arrived. 
Between mid XXXX and mid XXXX, all money in XXXX different accounts was spent from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX using a single card. In order to do this also money was transferred between accounts within the bank ( from an account for which no card was existing to the one that was accessible via the card ). The card number and type used is still not known to us as the bank has refused to provide any information. 
We ( my mother and me ) traveled to the branch personally and placed the claim personally. 
After less than one week, we found out that the claim was denied. 
After this, I reviewed the claim to figure out that it was wrongly formulated and requested a correction via the branch. It is not clear for us if the claim was updated for such correction. 
In addition we requested more information regarding the reasons why it was denied as well as more information to enable further investigation from our side. The branch has, after more than XXXX requests, not provided such information. 
The claims department indicated that XXXX leters have been sent explaining the reason for not accepting the claim but none of these have arrived so far ( after almost 2 months ). 
Through the branch, I requested an account statement to find out that most of the account fees and XXXX fraudulent transaction had been refunded back ( total amount of fraudulent transactions is around XXXX and fraudulent transfers XXXX ). 
After contacting the claims department, they insist that the claim has been fully denied and that no refunding has taken place. 
I have been trying to get information from the bank but just get forwarded from one section to the next one. Waiting times are considerably long ( last phonecall was 2 hours long until the call got forwarded once more and there no audio was available ).

Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (NJ)

Unfair business practices - These crooks drastically reduced my credit limit after I made a huge payment and without proper notification. 

Yesterday I made a {$5000.00} credit card payment to my First National credit card. I paid down 70 % of the balance from {$7100.00} to {$2100.00} so there should have been {$4800.00} avail today. I tried to use the credit card today to business invoice with part of the {$4800.00} that should have been available. After multiple failed attempts to pay the invoice online I called the credit card company to find out the problem. 
1. They first told me they hold 80 % of the payment until it comes out of pending status. I told them that I need access to my available credit Today. 
2. They had me do a conference call with my actual bank to verify the funds were good. 
3. After the bank conference call, my credit card company tells me they reduced my credit limit. I did n't get any notification that they were reducing my limit. The bank says they made that decision yesterday. My response was " yesterday after you receive my payment. I told them could have sent me a letter the day after you did n't receive payment XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ie the first day it was past due on your books but you deliberately waited until you got a large payment ''. ( My payment was 12 days past the due date but I 'm aware that credit card payments are not considered late until the next billing cycle comes and goes and no payment is made. ) 4. I also asked, " When was I going to receive a letter about the credit limit decrease. '' The person I spoke with said they were going to mail XXXX out today. 
5. I asked " well what is my new limit '', these crooks said my new limit is the {$2100.00} that 's now available after my {$5000.00} payment. 
6. When asked how do you come up with a decision to give me a 70 % reduction of my credit limit that was available just yesterday ... .. '' Well you make minimum payments and on the due date instead of before the due date ; you 've been late 4 times in 24 months, your at the peak credit limit and your XXXX credit report shows delinquents on your report. Nonsense, missing the due date does Not make you late on credit reports and your credit report story is a flat out lie ... ..Sure enough, after arguing with them, I pull my credit report and I have No late accounts and No Delinquent accounts. I have a copy of the credit report.
