Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

Credit information was lost in national breach. There is no way around not having all your information automatically reported and out there to be stolen from negligent reporting agencies. Freezing your credit report should be free. There should not be a fee to protect yourself, especially with as little care as these companies have protecting your data.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA)

Navient removed me from the Income Based Repayment plan in which I had been enrolled following graduation in XXXX. They stated to me that I no longer qualified for regular IBR and would be required to enroll in the Revised-IBR. 
- Representatives and even the Office of the Advocate refused to explain how the Revised-IBR works nor why I no longer qualified for Revised-IBR - My payments have been artificially high and with this new program my husband was made to share in the responsibility for my loans but his name is not on any of them - The last time I took out a loan was for the XXXX academic year so I do not understand why I am being subjected to these new rules - When they first rejected my IBR request in XXXX, after I had already been enrolled in the program, my payment was set to exceed {$1900.00} per month - I was under the impression that I have the right as a borrower to enroll in the program of my choice. They denied my IBR request. Being forced into the Revised-IBR without knowing anything about it further violated my rights because Navient should have been able to provide an explanation as to why they were denying my participation in the IBR and forcing me into the Revised-IBR I just learned about the Revised-IBR approximately one week ago, after two years of struggling to lower my payments and filing with you previously for assistance. I discovered that this program is for individuals who are in high earning fields with an expected income that will at some point near, meet or exceed the loan amount. That is not me. 
- I am a XXXX and I have no expectation that my income will even be a fraction of the amount of my loans because I have not been able to find stable work in my field - I have been consistently XXXX or XXXX since graduation in XXXX - The shared responsibility places an unduly harsh financial burden on my family because my husband is a XXXX. To pay both his loans and my loans requires that we choose between buying food and paying our rent or paying my loan because we can barely afford his - We have XXXX kids in college now as well so our financial situation has changed even further Navient has also stopped communicating with me and I am no longer receiving e-mails regarding my account. I did find a document on my account that stated that my loan would be going up to over {$2000.00} per month which is more than a paycheck but this document was not sent to me. Now, I ca n't even find that document on the site.

Issue: Rewards — 
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

In XXXX I was approved for and received my American Express XXXX card. I began using it and eventually reached a spending threshold on XXXX XXXX, which awarded me XXXX of their Membership Rewards ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, as promised on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I was charged their {$450.00} annual fee and I have continued to use this card and have no balance due at this time. After other charges I had XXXX points from this card and my Membership Rewards ( XXXX XXXX XXXX Number ends in XXXX. My credit card ends in XXXX. However, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX points were deducted from my account with no explanation. I have been a customer of American Express for 9 years and have good standing with them and good credit as well. I followed any and all terms and conditions for this card when making purchases and for earning or trying to use points. 
I would n't apply for this card knowing there will be no bonus awarded, and paying expensive {$450.00} annual fee. 
I called American Express and spent no less than 30 minutes on the phone being transferred up a chain of CSRs and supervisors, all who thought my account was fine, and eventually reached someone who told me that some accounts are being reviewed at the corporate level, and the the points were deducted for unspecified reason. She could not tell me anything else. I think American Express is pulling a bait and switch of sorts if it offers something like this but now does n't let its customers actually take advantage of it. If they have some sort of internal issue being worked on by corporate, they should have solved that before hand on their time and stop wasting mine. I have actually visited online forums and have learned there are many others with this card experiencing the exact same issue. As well, a friend of mine from another state is also having it happen to him and his wife, so many people -- not just me -- are having their points deducted by American Express and that is help money! 

What I want is for you to help me get them to release any hold they have on my points and NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY without me having to contact them and fight for an answer again. Why did I pay {$450.00} for a card that has no intention of letting me use its benefits?

Company: SUNRISE CREDIT SERVICES, INC (MN)

In or about XXXX of XXXX I contacted XXXX requesting my account number so that I could cancel services with them and move to another phone company. I advised the representative to cancel my account, this was before the next month 's billing cycle began. That same day I went to XXXX and ported my phone number to them, leaving XXXX and cancelling my account. I did not use any of XXXX 's services going forward. Yet it seems that after that month 's billing cycle ended they continued it, not cancelling my account as requested. They apparently billed me, despite my request and despite the fact that I could not use their services at all as I did not have a device connected to XXXX 's network even for 1 day during the new billing cycle as I was with XXXX pre-dating the new month 's billing cycle. 

Today I got a credit alert that a company is trying to collect this false debt, with fees. I do not owe a debt, and I take issue with this company as well as XXXX because I ensured carefully prior to the new month 's billing cycle to cancel all services and cut all ties with XXXX, it would 've been impossible for them to provide me with any services as well.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A. (CA)

Our home in XXXX XXXX California was destroyed by fire on XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time we have worked extensively with the insurance company and Flagstar Bank. 

Now the home repair construction is complete and the inspection results by the bank exceed 95 % completion. According to the bank 's procedures they must release all the funds so we can pay the builder and gain occupancy. 

We sent the final payment from the insurance company to Flagstar on  XX/XX/2019 by over nightmail with a return overnight mail envelope as specified on their website. They cashed the checks ( 1 for {$23000.00} and another for {$5000.00} ) on XX/XX/2019. Despite seven phone calls since XX/XX/2019 and receiving promises they would send the funds in the next couple of day at the end of every phone call, the money has not been sent as of XX/XX/XXXX. Just today we received a promise the funds would be sent on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. 

We have made commitments to propective renters to make the house available but we can not go forward until the builder is paid. Would you please see if there is any way that you can convince Flagstar to move forward with disbursement of these funds?
