In the quiet humdrum, of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility. I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night. Unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainly. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized accounts. The breach of trust cut deep. Leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violation identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries these are the following accounts need to be removed.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I made a call into Navient to try and lower my payment but was not given any options outside of forbearance. I attempted to explain that I had paid {$92000.00} on my loans to date over the course of ten years and yet still owe them {$83000.00} to which I was given the reply, " Well, that is because your interest is accruing daily and you are on a variable interest rate loan. If you start making extra payments per month, your amount owed will decrease. '' I tried to explain, THAT'S THE PROBLEM! I can't continue to make a {$770.00} per month payment every month, especially knowing I am not even hardly touching my principal! I am XXXX and need to move out of my parents house as they are retiring soon but can not because I can not afford rent with this type of payment. My 3 largest loans are at variable 10.5 % interest rate and continue to go up every year, if not every 6 months, making them practically untouchable when I make a payment every month. I feel as though I will never get out from under this and they are not willing to budge either. 

Back in XX/XX/XXXX, I did remove the majority of my Federal Loans from them and consolidated them with XXXX XXXX, removing {$10000.00} of the debt from Navient ( if I hadn't done that, I'd still owe Navient over {$93000.00}, having originally borrowed around {$110000.00} ) How are these types of loans even allowed to consumers? I feel as though I have signed my life away, with no end in sight to this debt. I have paid faithfully since graduating in XX/XX/XXXX and have NEVER, EVER missed a payment. And when I started paying the loans back in XX/XX/XXXX, I was advised by my school to sign up for interest only payments as that was my lowest possible payment option ( around $ XXXX/month ) right out of school. I did that for 4 YEARS! It got me nowhere but into more debt! And Navient continues to push this option, which is robbery. They push only forbearance and interest-only payment options, offering nothing else to me. 

I am hoping the CFPB will investigate as to whether my payments are even being allocated correctly, because I find it astounding that I have paid Navient over {$92000.00} over the course of ten years and yet still owe them {$83000.00} at the moment. How can they do this?

On XX/XX/year>, I reached out to Experian, via dispute center, notifying them of a fraudulent account, that posted to my credit report. After their investigation the account in the of {$1900.00} was not removed. I then reached out to XXXX, of an error posted to my account and after review, the rep came back to phone and stated that she apologized for the incident and that it would be removed on their end. I waited for weeks and received nothing from XXXX, in writing stating that the account had been removed. I then filed another complaint with Experian asking for the documents used in their investigation. Experian, had the consumer mail me documents used. The documents used, do not have my signature on them. The signature on documents are those of a male, living in XXXX TX. I submitted once again, a dispute with Experian, this time attaching the documents, that clearly were not signed by myself, but by someone with a different name, living in XXXX. Experian returned the investigation after 30 days with no changed results. I have been trying to get this issue handled for years now. The creditor deletes the item and places it back onto my report every year, although they clearly have documents showing someone else 's signature from XXXX TX. I have now been blocked from disputing the account.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OR)

In early XX/XX/2019, Chase offered 0 % APR and {$0.00} fees on balance transfers for a new Chase Slate card to an existing customer. However, Chase did not disclose that no balance transfers could be done from other Chase credit cards, even though that is exactly who they sent the offer to. As a consequence, I spent time and applied for a credit card that I had no use for and had to cancel. 

On XXXX XX/XX/2019 I applied for a Chase Slate credit card. I have a Chase Freedom Unlimited credit card already and I was logged in to my account at the time. I read a message from Chase while I was lodded in. The message was that I had a special offer from Chase for a Slate credit card, with 0 % APR for 12 months on balance transfers and {$0.00} balance balance transfer fees for balance transfers completed within 60 days of opening an account. 

In the application for the Chase Slate card, it provided fields for a balance transfer option. I input my Chase Freedom Unlimited account number and the maximum allowable balance transfer of {$15000.00}, expecting to transfer most of my Chase Freedom Unlimited balance to the new Chase Slate card. My new Chase Slate card was approved for a {$5700.00} credit limit. 

On XXXX XX/XX/2019, I called Chase to ask whether my balance transfer would go through at a limit of {$5700.00}. The customer service representative said she saw no indication of a balance transfer for the Slate card. She also said she could not do a balance transfer until I physically had my card. 

I received my Chase Slate card on XXXX XX/XX/2019. On XXXX XX/XX/2019, I called Chase to inquire about my balance transfer. An automated telephone response indicated my requested transfer of {$15000.00} had been declined. I spoke to a customer service representative and asked her to initiate a balance transfer from my Chase Freedom Unlimited card. She said she could not do this. I explained why I had applied for the Chase Slate card, and requested her to cancel the Slate card if she could not transfer a balance to it. I received confirmation from her that my Chase Slate card was closed during that conversation.
