Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NE)

My mom and myself got a Loan for XXXX University for {$2700.00}, it was hard enough to get accepted for that little of a loan because I was XXXX and went off my parents income and they " made too much ''. That was the only loan we applied for. I transferred to XXXX a semester later and paid completely out of pocket. I then went to beauty school and graduated from XXXX XXXX all out of pocket. We did direct withdrawal for my loan and canceled it when the payments should have ended. Well, Navient kept calling me demanding more money so, I asked them.. how much do I owe?? they said {$8000.00}!!! I go online and sure enough it says I have second loan for {$5500.00} for XXXX. So I demanded my promissory note for that loan and Navient could not provide my note for the XXXX loan but did for my XXXX XXXX. I get on federal student aid and again, no promissory note. So i try and dispute it ... after 6 hours of being thrown in circles they send me to the ombudmans group, who sent me to XXXX, who sent me back to ombudmans. I called XXXX 's financial aid and requested my payments with them and they have no evidence of a loan received for that XXXX amount. In fact my parents saved {$50000.00} for me to go to college and we paid out of pocket and before it was due and every school I went to called me into financial aid to tell me to STOP paying SO much and early because it was messing with their system as they wernt expecting {$10000.00} payments in advance.. I have checked my credit reports on all XXXX major credit reports and it shows my payments I was making towards my XXXX loan was dispersed to both loans, without my knowledge and before payments were even due for the fraudulent XXXX loan. So, I have two issues, I have a fraudulent loan I never received for {$5500.00} and I have payments that I have made that were not applied to the correct loan, resulting in high interest fees and phone calls every day demanding I make a payment and that I can go into forbearance and they are calling collections on me! It has been so stressful, I have been disputing this for 2 months now, nearly every day I have cried.. my parents have fought, my family has cried and cried over money we cant come up with because my parents think im lying and took this loan out.. another issue.. I live in Nebraska and the date of this XXXX loan ... I would have been XXXX XXXX XXXX and needed a parents signature as in the state of Nebraska you 're not an adult until 19 years of age. So again, its wrong! I have paid my student loan off and I never took out a second loan, nor did i receive, nor am i paying for it.. also the interest on my original XXXX loan is ridiculous because i made payments EARLY and on time every month!

Upon enrollment into a graduate program, my loans were automatically entered into deferment status. I did not request a deferment, nor was I asked if I wanted to defer my loans. Additionally, it took three different calls to speak to a real human being. The IVR hung up on me twice.

I attended a financial aid meeting with a friend at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. My friend was told that he would not need any private student loans because he would receive grants and federal student loans. I was asked to give my information to be used as a reference only. I did not question why my social security number was needed. I was added to a loan application as a cosigner without my knowledge or permission. All documents were signed electronically so I can not dispute my signature. The school applied for XXXX loans with my information. The XXXX loan was denied. The XXXX and the XXXX loan were approved. The school representative requested XXXX for one of the loans and XXXX for another loan. Those amounts were very high and again not necessary due to the PA state grants and federal loans my friend would receive. At the end of the day I am on the hook for over XXXX in private loans. I have battling back and forth with Navient formally XXXX XXXX about these accounts. Despite the charge offs I have a credit score in the XXXX. I was taught about credit at a young age and I would never have cosigned for a loan. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX closed its doors in 2012 making it impossible for me to dispute any claims.

I learned of the loan being handled by Navient by looking at my credit report. I contacted Navient and I was told by a Navient representative to dispute it through the FCC.

My wife,  XXXX   XXXX  and I were married on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  we became legally separated. During the period of our marriage we obtained a joint loan with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX . ( At the time they were known as  XXXX   XXXX  )  XXXX   XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  a  Consent Judgement Entry  was filed dividing assets and debts between each of us. The agreement was for our assets to be divided equally and any joint accounts to be mitigated to the other account holder as sole ownership. All was completed except for  XXXX   XXXX  's role on this account with  XXXX   XXXX . Once I attempted to pay the account off, her signature was found to be required, because  XXXX  never signed the account over to me in sole ownership. A motion to show cause was filed, and  XXXX  was found in contempt of court, and is now the sole owner of the  XXXX   XXXX  Account.  XXXX   XXXX  continues to contact me, and threaten me by phone, mail and email to secure my belongings, garnish my wages, and imprison me. They are also reporting negatively on my credit report. Since I owe no balance, this must be removed immediately. I recently was denied a loan through  XXXX   XXXX  as a result of this negative information and high balance being listed on my report, and my APR went from 10.9 % to 18 %. This is due solely to this mistake. Since this is happening, I am seeking a settlement for damages from     XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   which they can bill to  XXXX   XXXX  's attorney  XXXX   XXXX , who has agreed to pay this law-suit of {$25000.00} in full to avoid being dis-barred for credit fraud, and imprisonment for violating my rights under the fair debt collection practices act, and fair debt reporting act.

I submitted a dispute through my card issuer, JP Morgan Chase, who sent me a letter indicating they validated the claim after they determined the " merchant provided the services for which I was billed.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (NM)

Ditech obtained the servicing of our first and second mortgage earlier this year. We were solicited to do a XXXX Refinance on our first since the rate was 6.125 % and they could do better. We started the process on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and did not finalize the process till XXXX XX/XX/XXXX2016. Multiple Loan Estimates were sent throughout the process with changes to figures with out a Change of Circumstance Letter to accompany the changes explaining why and what was changing. Ditech pointed the finger at XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX pointed the finger at Ditech as to why someone had dropped the ball on ordering the subordination of our second. I had to tell Ditech multiple times that we had paid for an appraisal out of pocket yet they continued to show the fees. The lock expired on XXXX/XXXX/2016 so they had to extend it. XXXX estimate shows the extension fee to us which they later retracted because it was evident that they were responsible for the delays in what should have been a relatively easy refinance. 
Ditech sent me the Closing Disclosure on XXXX XXXX, 2016 via a docusign email rather than through the password protected website known as XXXX XXXX. The file was corrupt and I could not open it. I called them to advise, however no body called me back. By Monday evening the XXXX of XXXX I had still not heard back from them so I called Title to advise that we were unable to open much less electronically sign the CD to start the three business day clock so we could close. I received the CD on the XXXX and we esigned it. They insisted that we sign documents on the XXXX of XXXX which was not the full three days required by XXXX. I am in the mortgage industry so I advised that we really should be signing the XXXX of XXXX. They advised that that was not the case and left the documents dated for a XXXX closing. On XXXX XXXX, we received a past due notice dated the XXXX stating that our mortgage was past due even though the loan was in recission. I understand the notice however, the notice was mailed to our home address but had the names of other individuals on it. I do n't know who these people are, but none the less it was alarming that they had violated the XXXX Rules by putting someone else on the notice. It makes me wonder who got a notice with our names on it. We were never provided a copy of our credit reports even though we requested them.

I called back on I spoke to an agent who said a specialist would need to look at the account. I was on hold for 30 minutes and the agent took down my number and said the specialist would call me.

My ex husband was a XXXX. He drove to work and parked on XXXX and XXXX XXXX and everyday he received a parking ticket. He hid everything from me, and when I found out I made him promise that he would pay it. When we separated in our separation agreement we noted that it was not my responsibility to pay the debt and that it was his responsibility. The agreement was signed and notarized, making it a legal document. He has not paid a cent toward the balance and it is on my credit. Because he legally took responsibility of the debt that he accrued in my car that was registered to my name, I would like to remove these infractions from my credit report. I have attached a unsigned copy of our separation agreement. If the signed XXXX is needed please advise me and I will have my attorney forward it to you.

I do n't know how much they are charging in fees because the debt collector wo n't mail me a statement. He says he needs a payment arrangement before he sends me anything in the mail. When he called me, for the second time at work, and I answered him for the first time, he accused me of having a blaze ' attitude and shamed me for ignoring him. He was very unprofessional. When I requested he mail a statement, he said he could n't do that unless I gave him a debit card. I just want something to be sent to me in the mail. He scolded me for not calling him, and I told him I only respond to letters when collections are involved, but no one has ever sent me anything from his company.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (PA)

2 years ago I went to M & T bank to open a Bank deposit box -- I was told at that time I had to open a checking account to have the box. I disputed it but they insisted- we signed the basic paper work and since I need the box to store valuables belonging to my son while he was in XXXX I agreed. I started to wonder why I was getting charges greater than the cost of the XXXX XXXX XXXX When I accumulated the records I took it to the office and they told me it was a combination of insurance fees and late penalties-even though I paid for the box usually XXXX4 months in advance at the $ XXXX cost. I told them I never buy insurance but they insisted I did- I requested they show me the documents- they said they did n't have them and stalled so I reported it to the state XXXX office- all of a sudden they produced a document that had my initials stating I agreed to the insurance. I did n't but it was XXXX of those just initial here and here and here- and I did n't read the documents so I blamed myself for not being more careful, but I said I should n't have been charge late fees because the took the insurance payment out of my checking account and then my payment was short about XXXX or XXXX dollars causing what I assessed at approx. XXXX {$90.00} over all. I requested a refund and forwarded it to the XXXX 's office -- the bank eventually sent me a letter reiterating the information I already had-and basically said- this was the reply, have a nice day- notify our customer service dept if you have any issues. I replied that the initial complaint was to the customer service dept and that the letter was inadequate because all it did was state I had a box and resolved the insurance issue. However they did n't address the fact that I was lied to about having to have a credit account and that there were any late fees- No fee information was given to this date. I responded to the Banking industry and XXXX office again- but to date nothing and I believe they just logged it away. I am located in XXXX- the bank has its main office in XXXX so XXXX would do nothing- and XXXX just placated me with a 'have a nice day '' letter- Never did they address the failure to inform issue or the fees that I requested to be refunded. So unresolved issues are Denial of failure to disclose- unpublished fees for late payments- what constitutes a late payment and confirmation information of insurance that I had no idea I had, plus the fees that were charged that were never reimbursed
