Started XXXX/XXXX/2016 at XXXX XXXX ( my caller ID on my phone showed that it was a XXXX NC call ) It was pre-recorded message on a man talking very loudly about 'settling your debt now. ' My mom answered the phone as I was n't home. I tried calling the number back, I heard what sounded like bongos being played and obviously someone picked up because I heard a wicked/evil type laugh, then I was hung up on. XXXX/XXXX/2016 at XXXX XXXX, I get a call, the same number and same caller ID information as from the last call-the man was caucasian and very loud on a prerecorded message saying 'this is your final opportunity to settle your debt at XXXX % off, press 1 now to speak to a representative. ' I pressed one, another recorded voice said to press 1 again, so I ended up pressing 11 ( I wanted to see for myself what kind of company or who they were trying to get ahold of, etc ) and it rang and then hung up. The strange/scary thing is, I DO NOT have any debt and no collection agency is after me.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

In XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a home equity loan from the now defunct XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX was sued by the Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in XX/XX/XXXX for charging XXXX and XXXX borrowers higher prices for their home mortgage loans than non-Hispanic White borrowers. XXXX acquired XXXX XXXX and agreed to pay {$35.00} XXXX to settle charges that the former XXXX XXXX Bank discriminated against XXXX and XXXX borrowers by charging them more on home mortgages because of their race and national origin. According to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, XXXX XXXX, which XXXX bought on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, violated the federal Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act in imposing higher fees or interest rates on more than XXXX minority borrowers. 
According to the court documents, the violations involved loans made through more than XXXX XXXX XXXX retail offices from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, and by mortgage brokers from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. XXXX said XXXX XXXX financially rewarded loan officers for imposing extra charges, known as " overages '' that were not related to borrowers ' creditworthiness, and did not properly monitor how they were imposed. This resulted in statistically significant discriminatory pricing disparities based on race and national origin, and caused more than XXXX XXXX borrowers and more than XXXX XXXX borrowers to overpay. 
RBS Citizen bought the loan without knowing its history and is now suing me to collect on a loan that was null and void. Because XXXX XXXX committed fraud in originating the loan, that action made the contract void. 
In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX contacted me about the loan and assured me that they would conduct a full investigation because of XXXX XXXX XXXX mounting troubled mortgages and would cancel the debt. The investigation was never done and instead the loan was sold to RBS Citizens. RBS Citizen filed a lawsuit in XX/XX/XXXX and we are currently in court proceedings. RBS Citizen is trying to collect on a loan that XXXX should have cancelled.

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

I have a private student loan with XXXX Bank. Since I entered repayment, I had the loan payments set up on autopay from my XXXX bank account. Around XXXX of XXXX, XXXX transferred the servicing of my loan to American Education Services, and did not make any significant effort to notify me. During the transition to AES my auto pay did not transfer from XXXX. Luckily I discovered this on my own and contacted AES to make my XXXX payment. I also set up auto pay with AES. The AES rep explained that it might take 30 days to set up the autopay so just to be safe I scheduled the XXXX payment online myself to ensure it was paid. The autopay never went through, for reasons that AES was unable to explain. AES failed to notify me that my payment was not made. In XXXX I discovered that my payments were not being made and called AES. I paid the past due balance and once again re applied for autopay. The AES representative stated that they attempted to call me multiple times after my auto pay did not go through, and verified the phone number, which was correct. It was at this point that I realized that they did in fact call me, and I did answer the phone but the manner in which they conducted themselves on the phone was extremely suspicious and unprofessional. I would receive a call from an XXXX number that was not listed online, meaning when I would XXXX the number it would not be tied to AES. The phone rep asked for me by my maiden name, and stated he was calling from XXXX Bank. I found that suspicious since I have been married since XXXX. He then asked for my full social security number in order to verify my identity and proceed. I refused to provide it and asked what this call was regarding. He stated I can not give you any information without your social security number. I asked several times what is this call regarding and each time the rep refused to say anything more than he was calling from XXXX bank. I hung up and called XXXX bank customer service and the determined that there was nothing of concern on any of my accounts. They could no longer view my student loan since servicing was now with AES. I received several more of these calls from AES and each time the rep demanded my social security number and refused to tell me why they were calling. I explained this to AES and after several rounds of escalations they refused to reverse the delinquency that was reported on credit report and stated they could not reverse it since " XXXX Bank rules do not allow them to ''.

Company: AES/PHEAA (NJ)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I requested a review of my payments that were eligible for XXXXSLF. I work for a Public School ( 16 years and counting ) with Consolidated Loans, with 127 payments made towards them. Only 17 are eligible?? I have requested the reasons why only to be told thats all that are eligible. I requested that the payments be reviewed only to be told that it would take months to perform this recount. I was told that it would take three months, now I being told that they do not know how long the counting will take?? 

It took me 10 min to tally up my count? 

With the new Federal Rules for PSLF/TPSLF ALL of my payments should be counted. I have ALL of the necessary credentials for forgiveness, and I can not understand how I only have 17 payments being applied to my forgiveness, ALL 127 payments, NOT even counting the 20 months in Federal Forbearance, which would put my count at 147 payments?! 

I expect full loan forgiveness as a result of this review of my payments.

Transworld Systems Inc. attempted to collect a debt ( electricity bill ) from me on XX/XX/2022. No phone calls were made, no voicemails were left, and no signature confirmation delivery was made to my home address. As a result, I did not know I had a debt until my credit score was attacked. I attempted to dispute this matter with Transworld Systems and with XXXX, but to no avail. The XXXX dispute result ( see attached ) recommended I dispute with Transworld Systems directly. Transworld Systems told me that they do not do derogatory mark deletion and that I need to contact a professional service to do so. I believe that this was a very unfair attempt at collecting a debt.

The receiver went to the bank last week on Monday, and return again on XXXX/XXXX/2015, but the bank in XXXX said there was nothing to be withdrawn. 
I contacted the bank by message, I went XXXX to speak to representatives, the last representative put me on the phone with customer service in charge of the transfer and they said that they could not contact the bank in XXXX. 
I told them to return the money to my account immediately so that I could go a send the money by another agency, but they told me that it takes XXXX days to have the money back in my account. 
This is intolerant and is causing too much problem, XXXX they are lying in the service they said they give and XXXX, if the XXXX bank does not have the money why Wells Fargo has to take XXXX days to give me my money back.

I have reason to believe my account information for my Wells Fargo accounts was accessed by Wells Fargo personnel, without my permission.I contacted WF to get records of when my account was accessed, without my permission. They refused to release that information to me. They assured me that they address those situations in house, and that their policy is not to notify a customer when a WF employee accesses customer account information. I therefore as a WF customer have no way to know if my account information was viewed by WF employees, even if there were no unauthorized accounts opened. I still consider that to be a breach of confidentiality.
