Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (OK)

XXXX XXXX  repayments resumed in XXXX. My loans are currently handled through Nelnet. My first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$270.00}. To cover this payment, on XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$520.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I checked the account to see that the payment I had made had been applied to the account, but was not considered applied to the XXXX bill. Therefore, my account showed XX/XX/XXXX as a missed payment. 

My account now shows I owe {$540.00} on XX/XX/XXXX because they combined the " missed '' XXXX payment in with my payment due in XXXX, and I now have a missed loan payment on my record and credit report. 

I called customer service. After an unreasonably long hold time of XXXX hours and XXXX minutes I was told they'd file an account adjustment form, but that the form would take XXXX weeks to process which means I'm still stuck paying the {$540.00} I just will no longer have the missed payment on my credit report. 

With student loan payments resuming its unacceptable for them to be so short staffed that wait times are north of XXXX hours. It's also frustrating that there's essentially a {$270.00} extra payment I'll be forced to make. Despite it being applied to the loans it's unplanned and tough on a budget.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (TX)

We entered into forbearance in XXXX of XXXX due to the impact of Covid. Most companies were closed and not buying furniture and supplies. My husband is in sales. Our income drastically decreased and we did all that we could to make ends meet but ultimately had to enter forbearance. We were told by Mr. Cooper ( Mortgage Lender ) that we would have 3 options once our forbearance period ends. 1 : Pay back the lump sum of missed payments. 2 : Pay back the sum of what is owed over XXXX months along with the monthly payments. XXXX : Apply for Mortgage Modification. ( We understood this could change the terms of our loan. ) We decided to apply for Mortgage Modification as the other options were not within our means. We were denied by our Mortgage Lender, Mr. Cooper. We were then told we only had one option and that was to pay our passed payments totally {$30000.00} in full by XX/XX/XXXX. 

These were not the conditions we were told when we went into forbearance. This sounds incredibly fraudulent.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

2nd attempt.. Same complaint. 
They lied.. they did not to to cotact me. 
I had one message and called them call that day. They never called or left another message. They also have my email and address. I've never heard from them again. 


claimed they didn't get it, so XXXX sent it again and BofA finally confirmed via phone they received it on XX/XX/XXXX. During this time after making a complaint on their XXXX  page, a spammer tried to hack my account. I called to change the user name and instead they deleted my user id, which conveniently lost all my bill pay history over the 15 years. So I no longer received any messages as they are still doing this on my old user id. I also had bills setup to pay that they didn't pay. Over {$4000.00} in bills. I had no idea they deleted my user id with current bills to be paid until I got a late notice on XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I spent 4 hours on the phone with them and they refused to honor the guarantee for the late payments that I had to go on to individually and pay that day. It's now been 5 months since the payment was sent to the wrong person and almost 5 months since I alerted them and I still have not received my money back for a total of {$640.00}. I'm sure the company is a legitimate company and just waiting for someone to come back and say it wasn't suppose to go to them. I did my own research and found that it's a charitable company that deposits donations through a lock box at XXXXXXXX XXXX. I even called their bank and they were helpful but told me they couldn't do anything that Bank of America was supposed to be representing me and helping me to get my money back. The check was stamped on the back as " Deposit for the benefit of the named payee '' and they held it for 3 weeks which tells me they weren't sure where to credit it. Bank of America has had this information since early XXXX, so they knew that it went to the wrong company, but continued to make me wait. During my 50 plus calls, I was transferred dozens of times, thrown back into the que on purpose and hung up on. I have been with Bank of America over 23 years and finally decided to remove all my money to a new bank. I'm having to keep a {$1500.00} balance there in order to keep from having a service fee monthly until I get my money back. After I complained about them not doing anything and demanded a provisional credit so that I could pay my card off and quite accruing interest on something I tried to pay off that XXXX, they gave it to me 2 months later and 30 days after that they took it back, causing my balance to fall below the minimum balance and charged a fee for that as well. This whole process has cost me a LOT of time and money and I still have no resolution. I started the whole process by alerting them nearly 5 months ago. This is unethical and a terrible way to do business. I just want to get my {$640.00} back and be done with this institution. Thank you in advance for your help.

I would like to address the crucial regulations safeguarding consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These regulations ensure equitable treatment, privacy protection, and accuracy of credit information. Section 602 ( a ) of the FCRA mandates that entities collecting and reporting consumer information must adhere to principles of fairness, neutrality, and privacy, encompassing well-known entities like Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. As an individual subject to their data collection, I retain the right to safeguard my privacy. Furthermore, Section 6801 reinforces Congress 's intent for financial institutions supplying data to credit agencies to uphold the security of personal information.

The FCRA also outlines the necessity for written consent prior to the dissemination of consumer information by credit agencies, as delineated in Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ). However, I have not provided written consent to Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX, contravening this requirement. Moreover, Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ) stipulates that financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of information sharing, a requirement that has not been fulfilled in my case. 

Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX have reported adverse information about me without obtaining my consent, a violation of Section 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA. Additionally, Section 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits the dissemination of knowingly inaccurate information, which appears to have occurred in this instance.

Furthermore, the FCRA mandates that these entities establish robust procedures to ensure compliance with the law, as outlined in Section 1681e. Unfortunately, it appears that Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX have failed to implement adequate measures, resulting in inaccurate information being included in my credit report. 

Consequently, I am formally requesting that they cease sharing my information, as permitted by 12 CFR 1016.7. Additionally, I demand the immediate removal of all erroneous entries from my credit report. Failure to adhere to these requests may warrant legal action for willful non-compliance with FCRA regulations.

Regarding the removal of student loan information on the credit report, it's imperative to note that The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), a federal law enacted in 1974, protects the privacy of student education records and applies to all public or private elementary, secondary, or post-secondary schools, as outlined under 20 USC 1232g ( b ). Therefore, the inclusion of such information on the credit report violates FERPA 's privacy protections. I demand removal of student loans off of my credit reports.

I have been a loyal XXXX store card owner of a synchrony bank card for a number of years. I have faithfully paid my accounts in full over these years. This past month in XXXX I had an issue with my bank where unbeknownst to me, the payments I made on my XXXX store card were being reversed for some reason, I called synchrony bank XXXX  ok XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX informing them of the error and I made the payment in full the same day of the second call on XX/XX/XXXX. It was literally a bank error that caused the XXXX reversals, I am so surprised to receive a letter in the mail today that my account has been closed and that my {$1800.00} in reward points that I had saved up have been forfeited! I am so disheartened. It seems like as I was talking to them and keeping them updated as a respectful person they were planning to close my account even after I paid my bill! It seems like a shady practice and have negatively impacted my XXXX XXXX. I attempted to call synchrony bank and XXXX my case, I spoke to XXXX XXXX in customer service and he simply said I can reapply but my points are forfeited. I really hope I am able to receive some kind of support to continue to be a synchrony bank consumer in the future in reopening my card and receiving my {$1800.00} rewards points on my XXXX prime store card.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

On XX/XX/23 I received an overdraft notice alerting me that I had overdraft charges on my account I have included this notice in this complaint In this notice it shows a balance of {$200.00} The notice alleges that the XXXX charges that came in that, brought the account down to {$96.00} ; and then allegedly the XXXX XXXX PAYMENT FOR {$200.00} OVERDRAFTED THE ACCOUNT However in my account statement in online banking, that is also attached it shows this XXXX XXXX payment having been paid and an ENDING DAY BALANCE of {$1.00} These two different balances and accounting are in direct conflict of each other and both fifth thirds own numbers. 


The account statement shows a very different balance than what fifth third alleges was the ending day balance that day. It does not show the bank paid these 2 incoming charges from the XXXX and thus when the XXXX XXXXXXXX payment came through, there was only {$96.00} and not enough funds, over drafting the account for that XXXX XXXX payment. This statement shows the XXXX XXXX payment was paid and posted, thus the overdraft charge and overdraft statement is incorrect and indirect conflict of the banks own account summary statement. 

IF THE BANKS OVERDRAFT NOTICE IS CORRECT, AND THEY PAID THOSE 2 CHARGES AND THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FUNDS FOR THE XXXX  XXXX PAYMENT ...... 

WHY WAS THE ACCOUNT OVER DRAFTED THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR CHARGES THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY PAID ALREADY?? 


THE BANK DEDUCTED PENDING FUNDS WITHOUT APPLYING THEM IN ORDER TO REORDER POSTING ORDER AND MAXIMIZE OVERDRAFT FEES AGAINST CUSTOMERS THESE FRAUDULENT PRACTICES OF THE BANK HAVE SET THE ACCOUNT NEGATIVE AND CREATES A DOMINO EFFECT OF NEW DELINQUENT FEES. 

EMPLOYEES OF THE BANK AGREE THE ACCOUNT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CHARGED THE ORIGINAL OVERDRAFT FEE FROM XXXX  XXXX. 
HOWEVER THE BANK 'S FAILURE TO REVERSE AND CORRECT THESE ORIGINAL ERRONEOUS FEES IS CREATING NEW COMPOUNDING FEES.
