Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (CT)

Right out of XXXX XXXX I owed approximately {$150000.00}. I could not afford the full payment which would have been almost {$2000.00} so my loan was immediately put on an Income Drive Repayment plan. Over the next 8 years it kept getting renewed and I was told that at the end of the 20 years my debt would be forgiven. About 2 years ago, I was advised that the best was forgive but not the interest. At that point, the interest had amounted to approximately {$150000.00}. So although I was paying {$700.00} a month, none of it was covering the principle and the interest just keep getting high and higher. I was able to consolidate the Fed Service Loan with XXXX private loan, but now I owe {$300000.00} ( the original loan from 10 years ago, plus the interest ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

My loan went into the CARES Act Deferment. When we were coming out of deferment, i had selected to go thru an approved modification offered by XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX then required me to enter into a trial program for 3 months before they would approve this modification. When you logged into their site, this was the only item they asked for payment for, there was no way to pay any other loan, or see anything else was past due. 

I made those payments on time, and it took several more months because of problems with their paperwork ( they would send me one copy of the loan modification, so I would sign it and send it back, and they would say they needed 2 copies. Then they said we didn't fill the form out correctly ) During this time they reported the original loan as past due. Their excuse is that I was making payments on this new loan, while not making my payments on my old loan. I was making every payment I was made aware of.

I had no idea I would have to pay 2 mortgages at the same time to not fall past due on the original mortgage. I have requested they make this accommodation twice, and they have denied it because even though I did make payments, they say I didn't fufill my contract on the original loan. 

While I have gone thru this process, I have made every payment we agreed to on time, yet they have reported me past due as 30, 90, 120, and 150 days on all my credit reports. To me this feels like an accounting error on their part, as there was no way for me to apply those payments to that loan, their payment portal only allowed it to be applied to this new modification. I had no idea the other loan was falling past due while doing this. You can look at my payment schedule and see how I made all the payments on time, but they were applied to this new trial mortgage instead of my original mortgage, which caused the original to fall behind. 

You can see on my payment schedule that these payments are on my account as 'unapplied payments '

My last payment was in XX/XX/XXXX. I have struggling throughout the pandemic and am on the brink of homelessness. I called to see if I could pause payments for 6 months and get a forbearance to bring my account current ( XXXX past due ). After being transferred around to three different reps asking the same questions and also asking for private information not related to the loan. Ex. If I have any interviews scheduled. Sallie Mae rep stated the only option I had was to pay. I have no money. I am about to be living in my car. Sallie Mae then stated again I have to pay. I stated again I have {$0.00}. They said there were no other options. I asked them what would happen with this loan if I died, since my XXXX father cosigned- if they would come after him. The rep stated that the loan would be written off. I replied with " I guess there's not No Options then '' and hung up. 

Sallie Mae called the local police to go out to my home and harass my XXXX father and myself at XXXX at night under the guise of a " wellness check '' The police demanded entry to my home and grabbed the security door knob twice trying to enter. The officer said that " she called and said you told her you were going to kill yourself '' which is a blatant lie. Sallie Mae rep called and lied to the local pd. Who not only attempted to enter my home, harassed my XXXX father and had their hands on their guns the entire time. Luckily, I know my rights and they left without incident. 

They stated the phone call was recorded so there's a record with them. I didn't record it myself but will be recording everything from them going forward.

Yes, it involves the three bureaus. It is with fica also. There is a judgement on file against me. I was a holder among others of a credit card of a company that went out of business. The business owed the credit card money. They could not collect from the company because the company went broke. So the credit card company then sued all employees that held a company credit card. Not knowing i could be liable and the others also ignored the credit card company. they file suit against employees of which I was one an got a judgement against me and others for the company debt. XXXX judgement is on my report. If it is going to be there it should show the reason for the judgement which I am still contesting. 

Next, i am shopping for a mortgage. I am looking for a rate suitable for me. It may take one month. It may take six months. In the meantime hard pulls are being made and each time my credit score goes down and down. if you look at the payment portion of my credit it is 100 % on time, never late and paid the amount and sometime more each month. tis has dropped my score to low 600 's. It is uncalled for and I so disagree with fair XXXX  as to how they record inquires and makes credit scores drop.

On XX/XX/XXXX, an unknown individual was able to log into my mobile bank account and transfer {$5000.00} out of my account into another connected account this is not mines. 

I was in XXXX, Illinois for business at the time of this event. I went to make purchase, and my debit card was declined. By the time I realized money had been removed out of my account I immediately called USAA. I told them I did not transfer {$5000.00} and tried to reverse the transaction. They stated that once the transfer was created, that you could not reverse it. I only had + {$2500.00} in my account and USAA allowed my account to go into negative. I quickly, without hesitation transferred funds from my savings to zero out my account, change my passwords, etc as recommended. I filed 3 dispute thinking I would be able to get my funds back and USAA stated that there were no signs of fraud. 

My Friend, XXXX XXXX, whose account was connected where the " transfer '' went to stated that following my dispute his XXXX XXXX Account froze then closed his account. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, USAA stated there is nothing they can do to get my {$5000.00} back, stated there were no signs of fraud even though 9 other transactions to my hacked XXXX account they refunded my funds back into my account. 

I have no clue where my {$5000.00} went and I need help resolving this issue. Someone was able to access my private bank account and move money out and put me through the most stressful financial issue I have ever been in, in my life and I need to exhaust all options so that I can get my money back and move forward.

The creditor placed a repossession on my credit file at that time and has been re-aging the debt and reporting the loan as an open delinquent account.
