Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Late fee — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (TN)

I have a Target card, it 's my smallest credit card and I only got it XXXX for the discount they were offering. I have otherwise great credit that HAD 100 % on time payments for 12 years until this little fiasco which has amazingly damaged my credit score. 
I got this card right before Target lost everyone 's bank info to criminals. They later changed their security to where it will never recognize my computer and requires all kinds of extra verification so that I can not ever seem to get into my own card online so I mail my payments as a check when I have a balance. 
Apparently it is taking them more than 10 days to " receive '' and " process '' my payments. I am currently owing them about {$75.00} which is entirely fees, after I already paid about that much in fees once already on a balance that was only like {$63.00} to begin with. ( I let my daughter use it for the discount to spend her birthday money and then forgot about it because I had an XXXX family member. ) So after the funeral I sucked it up and paid {$160.00} ( on an original balance of about {$63.00} ) due before the XXXX of XXXX which is the due date. Now I get a statement thinking this thing is paid off and how and somehow I still have late fees, XXXX actually, so now they want a further {$75.00}. This is ridiculous. I called my bank ( who showed the check had cleared on the XXXX ) and they said it had to have been presented on the XXXX or before to have cleared because it takes one business day. I sent it well ahead of time and they clearly had it in hand before the XXXX. What is it to me how long they take to sort and handle their mail? I consider this a failure to process the payments out of compliance with the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) but they will not overturn the charges and close my account even though it consists entirely of fees made up for a payment which was already double the amount, a payment that they had to have in hand on the XXXX for it to be through on the XXXX. Can something not be done about this? They can just take whatever amount of time they desire to sort and process and fee as they please?

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Information is not mine
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

I have reported the issue of identity theft and fraud on my credit report since XX/XX/2012. I have sent multiple letters to Trans Union, including my latest one that is being attached. 
What I receive in reply is platitudes but no positive actions. I can only now appreciate the nightmare of ID theft. 
My latest from Trans Union was my credit report with a credit score that was substantially higher than when the ID theft occurred. To my surprise when my broker pulled my credit score from Trans Union XXXX Risk Score Classic, it turned out that TransUnion did NOT update the information or lied to me. In effect they told me one story and another to their reporting agency. That makes them party to a fraud. Since you are a federal agency, can you rectify what appears to be fraudulent reporting by TransUnion.

For some time now I have tried to find out I keep getting billed for a XXXX panel done XXXX/XXXX/15. XXXX denied the billing as not medically indicated. I have asked that the coding under which it was billed be checked to make sure it was correctly coded and the doctor be contacted to verify that she ordered the test as medically necessary. I have had many conversations about this by phone and email with the billing department and they assured me that it would be looked into and they would know more in XXXX weeks. Today I was surprised to receive in the mail a bill from a collection agency XXXX USCB America XXXX indicating that the account was turned over to them as delinquent. Seems to me that you are not treating me fairly as on one hand your are supposed to be addressing my concerns while on the other you go behind my back and treat the account as delinquent. Please note that I have complete insurance coverage with Medicare and Tricare for Life and usually do not have any medical payments as Tricare for Life pays any charges left after Medicare. I have been told that I signed a form indicating I would pay for the procedure if Medicare did n't, however the form also indicated thatthe estimated cost would be zero [ {$0.00} ] which was the only reason I signed.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NH)

Navient put me on a interest reduction program. Once I was put on the interest reduction program they would forgive my loans after 5 years. After a year I had to go through a whole financial statement again. That the 5 year forgiveness program was not true. Every time I talked to them they would send me over to someone that had no idea what was going on with my student loan. The notes that they had on their end was never correct and would never have the person I talked to last in my file. The last person I talked to was going to look into my account as to why the program I was on shows that the amount should of been less and I never have heard from anyone since. I 've asked to have forms sent to me to show what I have paid on my loans and I have not received anything yet. I am just paying for them and nothing is going down. The interest rate is crazy and it keeps getting higher. 

They call me about 5 times a day and one time I had a voicemail threaten me that I need to call them back or they would find me. That some something that a person that has gone to school for and trying to get a job should not have to go through. Graduating at the time i did and the economy crashed was very difficult. 
They are not easy people to talk to! When I called I was put on hold for about 45 minutes before someone was finally on the phone with me. They had to transfer me to 4 different department and tell them all my information again. 
I have been paying my loans for 4 years on this program and my credit is so bad. I have asked to see what I can do to fix my credit and no one was able to help me. I ca n't even go on with my life and buy a house because my credit is so bad. Going to college and further my education was suppose to help me in my future and I am failing.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC) (CT)

I submitted a Qualified Written Request to my " loan servicer '' ( Bayview Loan ), it was signed for on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I have NOT even received a written " acknowledgement '' of receipt and I am nearing the 30 day limitations under which they have to provide the requested information. It was clearly directed to the person stated in the letter they sent to me, who seems not to exist. I understand there is now a {$2000.00} penalty for default upon this action and that 's not even to mention the fact my loan was predatory from inception, I was extorted more than {$44000.00} by the previous servicer ( XXXX in XXXX of XXXX when they ceased to exist as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) and was not even the actual servicer. The XXXX documents that accompanied the Notice of Foreclosure were filed on the exact same day, forged 8 months AFTER the loan was sent to yet another servicer ( XXXX ). Upon serving a QWR upon XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX they immediately drafted yet another XXXX document- the author of which is currently serving time in CA for white collar crime and was completely Robo-signed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX subsequently withdrew the foreclosure ( through XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) and I was later transferred to a company called Bayview, which I had never hear from or of, yet they now sent statements. What should I do? My thoughts are to file a Quiet Title and recoup the damages for erroneous billing ( I was paying the wrong mortgage company for 10 months before I was notified via a " post it note '' on my monthly auto-check, that I was sold to XXXX, it was never late, nor properly accounted for hence my paying in excess of {$44000.00} via the " Foreclosure Mill '' XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX in CT - payable to a " deceased entity ( XXXX ). I have been completely defrauded, been subjected to severe distress, financial burden, lies, forged documents and essentially been a rag-doll for the XXXX largest foreclosure mills ( both of which have been under investigation by the CT AG ). My credit has been destroyed by this aside from having broken my back in XXXX of XXXX. I have done everything I feel I can at this point. Can and how do I file a claim for failure to respond to my QWR by Bayview and take further action. I am now on XXXX and am of limited means. I love my family home of 40 years, but these banksters must be stopped!!!!!!

I have a student loan with Alaska Commission for Post Secondary Education from XX/XX/XXXX that I have been paying on. If I got behind, I always caught back up. I filed for divorce in XX/XX/XXXX ( I was a stay at home mom up until XX/XX/XXXX ) so my account became delinquent and in default. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed bankruptcy.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: MOHELA (NY)

Hello, I currently have my Federal Student Loans serviced by Mohela. I attented to set up a recurring auto-debit set up, whereby I would have an additional amount withdrawn every month. I wanted the additional recurring to go to a specific loan, rather than be spread across all my loans. However, I called them and they explained they do not have that option available. They said I would have to pay manually every month if I wanted my additional payments targeted. Given that they are a federal loan servicer, I find that they do not have this option to be ridiculous, and purposefully unfair to consumers. This is a policy put in place for the purpose of extracting additional interest. A consumer should have the option to direct where his additional recurring payments go, especially with the servicer pulling out all the stops to ensure we use auto-debit.
