Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

Navient made several false reports to credit buruaes concerning my private student loans serviced by Navient. 

On or around XX/XX/2018, I enrolled in a reduced payment plan with Navient. I scheduled a payment at that time, to be debited towards the end of XX/XX/2018, for the reduced amount. That amount was to be debited from my checking account monthly for the next 9 months. I was told that no negative reporting would be made to credit bureaus as long as I was current with the reduced payments. 

In XXXX, no payment was debited from my checking account. I called Navient on XX/XX/2018 to discover the reason for this. It was then that I was told that the Navient representative I spoke with on or around XX/XX/2018 did not properly enroll me into the program. 

I spoke to Navient representatives on XX/XX/2018, XX/XX/2018, and XX/XX/2018. All the representative I spoke with have admitted that the false reporting to credit bureaus occurred due to Navient 's errors. However, they have all decried their inability to retract the false reporting, citing Navient 's policy. 

On XX/XX/2018, I received a call from XXXX in the Ombudsman 's department of Navient. He stated that the phone call was recorded. On the recorded call, XXXX admitted that at the time the report was made to the credit bureaus, ( 1 ) I should have been enrolled in the reduced payment program but for Navient 's employee 's error, and ( 2 ) even though I was not enrolled in the reduced payment program, my account was NOT in a past due status warranting credit reporting. 

XXXX admitted that it was Navient 's error that caused the false reporting to the credit bureaus. XXXX XXXX stated that another internal Navient department had reviewed my request for retraction and granted it. However, XXXX stated that the retraction would not take place until my account was no longer delinquent. 

My account is only delinquent at this time because of an error by Navient which caused my XX/XX/2018 payment to not be considered a full payment, caused me to miss my XX/XX/2018 payment, and caused my XX/XX/2018 payment to be the first payment in the payment reduction program I should have been enrolled in starting XX/XX/2018. 

On XX/XX/2018, XXXX informed me that the employee who did not properly enroll me in the reduced payment program on XX/XX/2018 is no longer employed by Navient. As I told XXXX, that takes care of Navient 's problem, but it does not address mine. That employee 's damaging actions will only be corrected when Navient retracts the false reporting. 

Navient 's policy should be overwritten immediately due to Navient 's error in causing the false credit reporting.

Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

On XX/XX/2023 I opened a Bank of America checking account through a link on their website offering a {$100.00} bonus for opening a new account and receiving {$1000.00} in direct deposits within 90 days using code XXXX. The bonus was supposed to post within 60 days of meeting the terms. I met the terms on XX/XX/2023 after receiving {$1000.00} in direct deposits from my employer. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of America and was told no promotional code showed on my account. I explained that I applied using a promo on their website. They asked for the promo code I used three months prior which I did not know off hand. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I found that I had took a screen shot of the application with the promo code XXXX so I called back. I told them I had used the code. They then told me that they could see that the code was added to my application which contradicted what I'd been told the previous day. They then tried to tell me that I didn't have {$1000.00} in deposits to meet the promo. Then I manually added up each deposit and told them it came to {$1000.00}. Eventually they added it up and acquiesced. Then they told me that I did meet all the qualifications but that I hadn't received the bonus because 60 days hadn't passed yet. I then told them that the terms were met on XX/XX/XXXX and since today is XX/XX/XXXX that is well over 60 days. Then they said that it would be looked into. 
I recently read about the legal action against Bank of America and one of the issues seemed to be their unwillingness to pay bonuses even when terms are met so I decided to file this complaint.

Company: ARVEST BANK GROUP, INC. (OK)

I went to cash a check at Arvest Bank. The teller asked me to open an account. 
He had me go to an office to answer questions I had before opening the account. Of most importance if SSI deposits were available to customers as quick as XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. He assured me they were, and said at latest Arvest may post one day later. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX made available to their accounts the money from SSI. When I did not receive mine by XX/XX/XXXX I called Arvest and asked why not yet, and I was informed Arvest wont post SSI until XX/XX/XXXX. I explained that is not what the guy at the bank told me when I opened my account. I explained my water would be shut off, I would hhave to go without water til the money post, and I am a full-time single dad, thats not easy to go without water. In addition I would also have to pay the disconnect and reconnect fees. When I spoke to members at the bank I was told by two tellers that informed me they are pushed to get as many people as possible to sign up for accounts. I feel the teller who signed me up for the account was pressured to get me to sign up and was going to say what I needed to hear to make it happen. When I spoke with the branch manager she assured me they don't have quota for tellers but wouldn't comment if they are pressured or asked to get everyone to sign up. I would of never been without water for 3 days if it wasn't for the pressure put on the teller or the deceitful tactics to get me to sign up. This cost me the disconnect fee and reconnect fee. Their should not be pressure for tellers to sign up accounts and tellers should not be deceitful.

This complaint is a supplement to Complaint # XXXX that was filed with the CFPB. I do not find the company response to the complaint satisfactory, especially in light of the CFPB 's recent actions against Bank of America 's practices, including, but not limited to employees of BOA opening up accounts in people 's name. It was never satisfactorily explained to me why BOA allows individuals to open up bank accounts using stolen information without requiring verification on teh front end ( as other banks do - like XXXX XXXX ). Of course, I am not privy to their internal information, but I believe that this account opened in my name may be an internal employee fraud that is the subject of the consent order. Again, I have been paying for LifeLine since this incident occured at {$39.00} per month, and I request that BOA reimburse me for these expenses. LifeLine was not needed until my information was stolen and account opened in my name.
