Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: EdFinancial Services (HI)

I was previously on the Revised Pay as You Earn Plan ( " RPAYE '' ) with my prior loan servicer, XXXX. This was set at a monthly payment amount of {$240.00}. 

Biden 's administration announced that with repayments starting, individuals had the option to go on the new Saving a Valuable Education ( " SAVE '' ) plan, which would immediately reduce you monthly payments by nearly half. Those who were already enrolled in RPAYE needed to take no action, as they would automatically be enrolled in SAVE with their payments amounts updated automatically. 

I've attached proof that I was previously on the RPAYE plan with XXXX with the payment amount set at {$240.00}. 

Now that EdFinancial handles my loan, they've sent me statements indicating my payment amount has not changed ( still at {$240.00} ) and also, that I am on an IDR plan. Their website indicates that I'm on the SAVE plan with a {$0.00} payment amount. ( Attached )

Commenity Bank makes repeated harassing calls to my work number that I have specifically stated to put on " not authorized to call number. '' They continue to call my work number repeatedly back to back and then leave threatening voicemails, violating my request to not call my work number. The representative makes 4 calls per hour and threatens I have until midnight to pay or seek an attorney. They are continuously making contact with my family members and harassing them for payments as well. When I call the Commenity phone number provided in the the voicemail with extension provided the representative states they do not know the person who left me a voicemail and advises me to provide them my personal information before proceeding. The representative I reach sounds exactly like the female that left me the voicemail on my cell and work number. Each time I call back the representative has the same voice just a different last name. And the conversation has a familiar context without me having to provide or divulge any information from the voicemail I was left on my cell or work number.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NH)

I lost my job last XXXX, it was extremely rough and all of a sudden I had difficulties paying bills. 

Well since then, Bank of America have charged me over {$1000.00} in overdraft fees. 


Most of these overdrafts only occurred because their app showed that my balance was higher than it really was. For example, if I were to make a payment it would be deemed processing, and therefore would not be taken out of my account total, leading me to believe I had enough money to cover purchases upon checking. 

I brought up how unfair this was many time to BOA and was told time and time again well, youve already had 3 fees removed so the fees stand. 

The hardest hitting month was XXXX, when forgiveness and giving are the rage of the season. Boy did they give me something, {$470.00} in fees. Bye bye XXXX presents. Food? Heat? 


Worst bank ever.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Hello, I have recently tried to pay off my student loans in full. I paid {$22000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX to the entire account.

I just want to make sure that the money has been applied to my loans, paying off everything, and that I will not be held responsible for the interest that as accured due to the extended processing time. It is not a small amount of money, and I want to make sure that the loan is properly paid off. Thank you.
