Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

I have made  XXXX  payments on my student loans throughout the course of the loan. Sometime arou nd  XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX , my  student loan payment went up substantially  ( fr om about  XXXX  to  XXXX   ),  although my salary had not. I called Navient and was informed that my loan terms had changed and the option other than monthly payment decided by them was to do a forbearance. I took this option unaware of the PSLF that had gone into affect. I have worked for a   XXXX   XXXX  l for the last 9 years (   XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX  ). I j ust found out through the course of the last year of the PSLF and now understand why I was essentially forced into forbearance because had I made the payments I was making previous to the abrupt change, I would well have been with in the 120 p ayments necessary for forgiveness under the PSLF. I recently call ed (    XX/XX/XXXX  ) N  a  vient  as my last forbearance is about to expire. They now say my only options for repayment are to pay out the loan ( which is now more than the original loan because of continued interest accruement ) in full, in a 2 year or 3 year repayment plan because I got married and they are now considering my husbands income as mine. I have my own  XXXX  and have always used that for documentation and offered to send it but they said A ) it was too early to set up and resolve a new plan, as my forbearance is up in   XX/XX/XXXX , B  ) my new repayment plan would be made dependent on my filed tax return. They have mislead and withheld information that caused me to make decisions which have accrued more debt.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to have verified this. 
Depending solely on your flawed XXXX XXXX has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the XXXXXXXX XXXX that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX  on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by XXXX, Experian, XXXX. XXXX, Experian, XXXX has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is the FOURTH attempt to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

The companies response is a clear example of them not doing enough research or validation. Near the end they state " No one has ever been arrested for the crime even though I state its fraudulent " If they reviewed the police report I sent in previous contacts via email/USPS mail XXXX AND the FTC report XXXX if they actually conducted and investigation and contacted all parties, which they NEVER did. Not once did they contact the reporting police department to speak to the reporting XXXX to see what happened. Other companies did but not you guys? Oddly suspicious. 
It CLEARLY states in the police report, the finalized one that there is a warrant for his arrest. I know its hard to comprehend and understand, but usually there wont be an arrest when the person is on the run from the police. So. Once again, if you clearly did your research, youd know that there is an active case with an active warrant. But you guys dont look at supporting evidence did you? 
Then you state " that doesnt mean its not fraudulent just because they get no benefit ", but yet you dont state the supporting documents that I've submitted that prove its fraud. If you get out your desk chair and get to a phone and do actual research then maybe you guys wouldnt have wrote such an idiotic response that made no sense. 
It proves you didnt look at my supporting documents nor did you conduct adequte research. 
Everything you have said has been hearsay. Once again you mention its my personal email address. How do you know its my personal email? How do you know its not fraudulent? What led you to that conclusion? With absolutely no proof? So because the payments havent been disputed with a company that means its not fraudulent? Have you contacted the issuing bank to see who is the account owner for whoever made those payments? You didnt. 
Or that means like you said " It could be fraudulent " but you really dont know if it is or not. AND I think thats the funny part you guys have no real validation and this letter actually proves it so thank you for admitting you think it could be fraud with the proof you have, thats all I needed! And thank you for verifying you didnt read the police report / ftc report otherwise you'd know there was an active case and that XXXX mentioned. Once again, proves you didnt do adequte research. Shut case. XXXX be showing this to the credit lawyer I have an appointment with also so thank you and have a good day!
