Company: Pressler & Pressler, LLP (NJ)

Pressler & Pressler had taken over XXXX from my bank account without my knowledge each time. The last withdrawal was a week before XXXX. I became very XXXX since. I almost lost my car, got evicted, water got shut off ect ect. They haave threatened to have me arrested and said that i would have to come up with the money somehow. I never allowed them to take any money from my account. The first time they took money out the women I spoke with asked me if it was ok for them to withdraw money again and I said No! They still went into my bank account a few months and did it again! All of my sons child support gone. I do n't think they went about this fair. The court officers were very nasty and would hang up on me or yell at me when I would call them to find out the debt. I asked Pressler & Pressler to send me all the information on the debt so I can see what I owed and all they sent me were papers stating how much I owed. That was not enough proof for me. They just tell me I owe this I owe that but they have no proof and they still go in my bank account and take my money. They took money out two times for an account and they still have n't refunded me the money. They are denying taking out the money and I had XXXX send them twice the proof that the money was withdrawn from them yet they still wo n't refund me the money. I 'm so confused on how to settle this cause they do n't give me a minute to explain. They hang up on me ... Please help me. I. Afraid to put any money in my account to pay bills because I do n't want them to clean out my account again. I went through a very bad XXXX after this and I just want this nightmare to end.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

In  XXXX     2016, the p ayment plan on a number of my private loans with Navient were updated, so I had a lower monthly payment of about {$600.00}.     Starting  XXXX   2016, we  started making additional payments towards the highest interest rate loan of 6 %, the  '  XXXX   Signature Student '.      As additional payments were made, and the balance on the highest interest rate loan went down faste r, Navient began re-dis tributing how the monthly {$600.00} was allocated across all loans by decreasing the amount paid toward the highest interest rate  (   XXXX   ), a nd increase towards all the others. They did this without our explicit permission, or without notifying us of this change.     By changing the payment terms, and applying less towards the higher interest rate loans,   Navient is in effect earning more interest on these loans than they should otherwise, had they left the   payment terms the same.

On XX/XX/18, I emailed XXXX at XXXX saying that the ant problem was worse than before they came. She said that was normal. 
I emailed several more times saying I wasn't pleased with their service as the ants were still invading our house. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed stating that I did not want their service any longer because the ant problem was never resolved. I started getting emails saying that I owed them the {$120.00} for the first quarter even though it hadn't even been 3 months yet AND I paid for the initial treatment. 
I emailed XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX complaining again that I was still getting bill notices even though I had canceled the month before. 
I then contacted XXXX on XX/XX/18 and he basically said I never canceled even though I had a trail of emails showing that I did AND we weren't getting service from them anymore so why would I owe anything. He refused to listen or help with the situation. I have tried to contact him several times more and have received no response.

I will attach the following documentation that was sent to these bureaus below but it has also been over 30 days since either bureau has responded or got back to me and I am in the process of going for a home loan which this is severely hurting my credit. There has been over 5 unauthorized pulls on both these bureaus off my credit which weren't me I sent documents stating and proving it was identity/theft fraud and both these bureaus fail to get back to me and provide substantial evidence if so that these belong to me. I need the CFPB help in removing these fraudulent inquiries so that I can go for this mortgage loan that I am applying for because not only is it severely hurting my credit there is no factual evidence tying me to these inquiries and it wasn't me.

when i bought the house we live in, the mortgage is with Wells Fargo. when pres obama said there is mortgage help out there i thought why am i paying 6 % on my loan. This was in XXXX i have contacted Wells Fargo to refi to a VA loan from a fha loan because of all the insurance i have to pay. Well to make a long story short here i am 3 years later still trying tlo get a refi. Wells Fargo has never ever tried to help me. in XXXX i suffered a XXXX XXXX XXXX, i am the only worker in my family. when the XXXX XXXX came my unemployment just ran out current on mortgage. As i was in the hospital from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX i was in the hospital. my new job was to start on XXXX XXXX well after the XXXX, i was left with XXXX income, so i went to my veterans service office and received a macv which paid my mortgage and house bills for 6 months. they paid and not always on time, So Wells Fargo who knew of my condition said as long as we receive it by the XXXX no penalties. So what they kept doing is reported every late to the credit bureau. taking my credit score from XXXX down to XXXX. So now they will not refi me because my credit score is down. What they do not understand is that they did it and that they refused to help because of that. So they keep doing this while i go deeper in debt. All i ask is that they refi me, take the stuff they put on my credit report off. i have been ontime for past 6 month, they told me after 3 months on time we will work with you. Well its been 6 and nothing. for three years i have been paying over {$4200.00} on interest and {$1200.00} on my principle per year. Also they have raised my esgrow account from {$130.00} a month to over {$210.00} a month, mean while my insurance and taxes have not gone up since i signed the papers. my tax goes up only {$40.00} and down depending on the schools needs. my insurance highest was {$1000.00} i have since redid insurance XXXX to keep it below {$800.00} a year. But Wells Fargo has broken verbal promises, they have lied to me about why my payment keeps going up even though the taxes and insurance as i write this are the same as when i signed my mortgage but the increase of 100 % is alarming. They refuse to help because of my credit score in which they brought down as i was fight for life. This bank has done alot of damage to my credit, my life and yes i am on XXXX because of XXXX during my XXXX XXXX. I just need this bank to do the right thing. they have disciminated against me, they have put me in a financial pickle. I have tried but all i get is no we ca n't because of your credit score that we brought down. my next step is to sue Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX for unethical business practices and unethical discrimnation of finacial help, and unethical lending practices. The 6 % i pay on this mortgage is unreal and Wells Fargo owes me for overpaying the last 3 years.

Company: TCF NATIONAL BANK (MN)

In 2014 my purse was stolen from me with all of my banking information inside of it including my Pin number and account information to the TCF bank. As I went in to try and close the account and get a new credit card the bank had explained to me that a fake check was deposited into my account for {$2500.00}. I then filed a claim and a police report and also got my lawyer involved with this issue. I sent in multiple pieces of evidence showing that I was not the one who applied the fake check into my account, these are documents I still hold with me today. After sending in all of the information I had on the identity theft the bank came back and said that I am responsible for the incident and I have to pay the money back even though I sent in evidence showing it was not me. This has been going on for over a year now and is preventing me from making any further life changes with this on my credit report. I am not allowed to have a bank account and I am unable to find a place to live or buy a car due to this issue. I am not sure why during investigation they did not look at surveillance cameras or anything else to help solve my case but I can still prove today that I am not the one that deposited the fake check into my account.

Before I applied for the card, I called the company and asked them specifically about how to qualify for the award, and I was told that all I have to do is to make {$1000.00} on my account within the first XXXX days of the membership. The company did not tell me that a transaction on the XXXX day would not be applied to {$1000.00}. Then, I applied for the card online after relying on what the representative told me over the phone. During the first XXXX days, I have made in the total of {$15000.00} on my account which is more than {$1000.00} miminum to qualify for the bonus. Later, I spoke with the representative on a recorded line and she said that a transaction on the 92nd day would not count toward {$1000.00} minimum because that transaction would not be posted on the account on the same day. Therefore, I will not be qualified for bonus membership reward for new customer/card member as originally advertised and solicited. The company did not make it clear in the first place about the transaction on the last offering day. I applied for the card because I wanted to get new customer bonus points. I did everything as the representative said, and I should get the bonus but the company said no because the transaction that I made on the XXXX will not count toward the {$1000.00}.
