Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

Navient is not applying over-payments to my principal despite being directed to do so. I have been making all my extra payments on the highest interest loan. According to their policy they will continue to advance the due date on this loan indefinitely unless I request otherwise. I have routinely indicated that payment should be made to the the principal and not advanced, but they have consistently done the opposite. I call every month to have them remedy this, and they note that I have indeed directed them to apply the payment to the principal. On my latest call after much pressure, the representative stated that this would be a recurring issue as I am in the IBR ( income based repayment ) program and that I would just have to call each month to fix. When pushed to clarify if this was just an issue with my account or a known issue with all accounts wishing to apply over-payment to principal, the representative did additional research and found that it was a known issue with other accounts as well. 

This causes additional interest to accrue on my student loans and benefits Navient. I find it hard to believe that a company responsible for handling billions in student loans is unable to fix this issue in a timely manner. I am wasting an hour every month on the phone trying to work this out. Now knowing that it is not a one time issue and that it is effecting other people trying to make repayments ( some of whom may not be catching the issue ) it seems like an issue that CFPB should look into.

Company: I.C. System, Inc. (IL)

I made final payments to my previously owned XXXX XXXX XXXX network account back in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. The account was closed by XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX for I went with a different service. From XX/XX/XXXX until XXXX, XXXX I have made several calls to both entities, as well as had a conference call on several occasions with customer service reps from both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. On many occasions, the XXXX representatives informed the XXXX XXXX XXXX reps that their balance is paid in full and no more money is owed to them. XXXX XXXX XXXX would bill for both their service & XXXX service, XXXX required 2 month payments in advance and the due dates were never aligned, which made the billing difficult to understand let alone know who was due when. XXXX XXXX XXXX was paid their final balance, XXXX network informed them they are owed no more money and XXXX XXXX XXXX refuse to take responsibility for their human error in processing my final bill, which was a total of {$100.00}. Since then, my credit score has had fluctuating scores like a " see-saw '' every 2-3 months due to XXXX XXXX XXXX hiring a new collection agency, or collection agencies buying this account from each other, which makes it very difficult to maintain my excellent and hardworking credit score of XXXX. Every time a new collection agency place their collection on my credit report I have to contact the agencies to have it investigated and every, single time it is removed or deleted. I feel I am being harassed by these several collection agencies and XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect a debt that has already been paid in full.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, that I recently received. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity. The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: DISCOVER BANK (NY)

Last year, when I was facing some severe financial hardship, Discover Card customer service admirably assisted me by reducing my rate to 12.99 %. I did not realize at the time that this was only a temporary measure. Today I opened my Discover Card bill and found that a check I had mailed out on XXXX XXXX was not posted to my account until XXXX XXXX, fully two days after my payment due date, and that my interest rate had shot up to 22.24 percent. In comparison, it took XXXX XXXX XXXX two days to post my check payment to my account with them. Both checks were mailed the same day to the same city : XXXX, North Carolina. I immediately logged into the Discover website to reach out to their customer service department. CSRs XXXX and XXXX gave me some facile, patronizing, dismissive answers about why it took over two weeks for my check payment to clear & why my APR increased so drastically and suddenly. According to XXXX my rate was raised to a usurious 21.99 % because I had missed one payment in XXXX, FOUR FULL CALENDAR YEARS AGO, followed by a further .25 % increase due to the Federal Reserve 's recent rate hike. I have paid early or on time every month, at or above the minimum required payment, my credit rating is the highest it 's been in years, then their company almost doubles my APR and then offers to " reduce '' my rate to slightly above 20 percent, a disgraceful slap in the face of a customer who has been nothing but loyal to their company since XXXX.

I am filing this complaint against credit bureaus due to their repeated failure to respond to my dispute letters regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the proper channels, the credit bureau has not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite these multiple submissions, credit bureaus has not provided any response, confirmation of investigation, or correction of the disputed information. This lack of response is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit bureaus must investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

I made to attempts to reach her on XXXX/XXXX/16, leaving voicemails requesting a call back each time. I left an additional voicemail on XXXX/XXXX/16, but I have not heard anything back.

However, none of this money has been applied to my account. I 've made three attempts now to set up payment for XX/XX/XXXX and my calls have gone unanswered. Once again, I am doing everything in my power to bring my account up to date and Bank of America is refusing to allow this to happen while holding my {$2700.00} hostage.

I stated this in my last voicemail for the single point of contact that was assigned to me. I am unable to understand this person 's name, but she can be reached at XXXX extension XXXX.

Associated Bank knowingly misled me, I tried to set up arrangements on the account but I was given bad information from customer service who told me to go the branch no later than XXXX/XXXX/16 to make payment arrangements. The branch told me they do not make arrangements, I advised the branch that I did not have the money because I am fighting with XXXX XXXX to resolve this matter, they should have a resolution by XXXX/XXXX/16. There was no way to for me to take the money because it was not mine in the first place, my mother deposited that money from other account from the bank that she shares with my stepdad, she was going to use that money for her trip in XXXX now it is gone. I should have been told by the branch or customer service they were going to take all of the money from the account, I was notified on XXXX/XXXX/16 after I have tried to make arrangements. I do not believe my mom should suffer because my checking account ( that is in my name only ) was overdrawn. She was not notified by me that my checking account was overdrawn because it was only in my name. They were being dishonest and now I was told on XXXX/XXXX/16 that all payment arrangements had to made within 45 days of the account being overdrawn, not 60 days. My mom has been a longtime customer at Associated Bank and should have her {$300.00} credited back to the account. Like I advised before I could n't just take all of her money out because she will be using it herself. Associated Bank hid information from me. I want my mother 's account credited back the {$300.00} because it is not fair because she was unaware of this situation. I also advised them that my aunt passed away and her funeral was Saturday, my mother was upset about that and I do have the obituary as proof of what I am saying plus I work from XXXX Monday through Friday. It is not my fault that XXXX XXXX did not pay the {$330.00} check but per their guidelines, the matter will be handled by the legal department.
