Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (IL)

My student loans were transferred to aes in XX/XX/XXXX. I have had nothing but problems since then. In the original documentation received about the change in company I was informed that if my payment fell during a grace period of transition then it would be debited after such grace period. However I logged in to find my student loan was shown overdue and received a letter stating I needed to make a payment. I called to explain this as I am in the ibr program and have been for years and also use direct debit for years. They stood fast and insisted I make a payment so I authorized a one time payment to avoid credit reporting. Then a week later I check my account to find that they deducted a second payment on their own. Now fast forward to XXXX and it is time for my annual recertification of income. I follow the instructions including authorizing my spouses student loans through fafsa website. Next I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that my loan had been recalculated. But they only factored my personal loans and not those of my spouse. Attached is a second letter with instructions to once again authorize them to calculate using my spouse 's information. I find this strange but follow the instructions and call Aes again XX/XX/XXXX to state this was complete and to have them recalculate the payment using this information. Weeks go by with no response until I receive a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that still shows the original payment amount when only factoring my student loans. Also this letter stated that I made payments ahead ( my XX/XX/XXXX payment ) and therefore I should only be responsible for paying the difference on my next payment. But instead the letter states they are going to take my entire payment amount instead. So once again they are going to double bill me for one payment. I called again today XX/XX/XXXX to try and get an explanation. The company is giving me nothing but a run around. Saying they have a note of my wife 's documentation complete but did not recalculate. Therefore they now want to recalculate my payment again. But in the mean time they assert that the initial payment amount which is incorrectly figured will be deducted on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been in ibr for 10 years now. And I have never seen this level of incompetence or intentional misleading in order to capture larger payment amounts than what should be or extra payments without justification. Please intervene. I fear from searches online that this is commonplace and I am not at all the only one dealing with these issues.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (SC)

On or About XX/XX/2018 A unidentified party accessed my XXXX  XXXX Credit Card Account. They began charging and purchasing overseas products. This was XXXX weekend followed by XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX. 
These individuals added two Chase customer accounts to my XXXX   XXXX Secured Payment Page which means they gained access to my my XXXX  XXXX online account and they added Two ( 2 ) Chase Bank Accounts to my XXXX  XXXX Payment page. 
Over the weekend to which I was busy with the Holiday they some how drained and over drafted funds from my Chase Account. 
I have the ending numbers from the Chase accounts used to steal from me including the emails from XXXX XXXX demonstrating these account were linked to XXXX XXXX. 
Chase bank has refused to take these account numbers from me to investigate who these customers are. I have been damaged and have received some account adjustment but other transactions I did not make are still being investigated. 
Chase Fraud Department was supposed to send me documents to sign that I did not authorize these payments and I did not make any of these purchases. 
I am now told that I will not be receiving these documents and they will not take the Chase Account Information that was placed on my XXXX XXXX Account Page to investigate who owns these accounts at chase and to see how this cyber theft occurred. 
I maintain that Chase bank is aware of who did this and is purposely deferring any resolve for me to avoid liability.

Company: Westhill Financial (CA)

Company called Westhill Exchange LLC claims to be collecting a debt from another party. I have never heard of Westhill Exchange and have not received any communications from them. The first time I heard of them was XX/XX/XXXX when they sent me a purported " receipt '' for XXXX that they said they were taking out of my XXXX XXXX XXXX account without any authorization from me whatsoever. I contacted them and told them not to remove any funds, they have no authorization, and to please provide me with a debt validation letter with proof I have a debt with their company or anyone they represent pursuant to the FDCPA. It turns out they did issue a check to my account, with random check numbers and indeed took XXXX out of my account without any authorization from me. XXXX  XXXX XXXX has been notified and they have advised me to freeze and close account. This is my main account that everything is tied to, so it will cost me time, money, and stress to transfer everything to a new account. The first time I ever even heard of this company, Westhill Exchange LLC, was five days ago and I believe they have violated FTC rules by taking money out of my account without any notice or authorization. I didn't have time to receive or review any paperwork in order to dispute or deny such an allegation of debt.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

The attached letter to Citizens Bank documents the closure of my personal checking account, which has resulted in my inability to pay my bills. The account has or had exactly {$3900.00} at the time of the improper closure of the account, as I had deposited {$3100.00} into the account at XXXX on XXXX XX/XX/2022 with a bank teller, who gave me a deposit slip for the transaction ( my bank card was used/swiped for the transaction ). Soon after I left the bank, I went to a local baker to purchase {$15.00} worth of bread, and my card was rejected three times. I called my branch manager, as indicated in the attached letter, and she said the card was shut down, but said it was nothing to do with anything she or her teller had done, and that I should call the bank 800 number. This has happened the previous month as well without explanation from Citizens Bank, and a new card had been issued, but this time when I put the card number in, there was no fraud alert. Instead the 800 automatic service said there was no such account at all. I was then placed on hold for some time until a Citizen 's customer service representative came on, and told me my account had been put on " hold '' for review and that someone from " the Director 's Office '' from the bank would be in touch with me within 2 business days. I asked to be put through to the Director 's Office, and they said that wasn't possible, and that there was no phone number to call directly. The rest is set out in the attached. It is now 4 business days, since this occurred, and I have had no contact from the bank at all, no email, no mail, no phone call from any representative from the bank, although I emailed the attached letter on the morning of XX/XX/2022 to the VP in charge of Branch Services, and to her boss. Neither has replied to my email or letter, and I have also overnighted the letters. Needless to say I'm in shock. I don't know what has happened to my money or my account, and the bank, which has published office numbers that don't work, has not contacted me at all. I don't know how to pay my bills or what is happening at all.
