Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MI)

I am currently under the REPAYE plan, however my loan servicer, Navient, does not send a detailed billing showing the amount of interest that is accruing each month or whether the federal subsidy is being applied appropriately to my account. I have made at least three requests for a detailed billing. Each time they send a listing of payments I have made, a list of my loans, the principal amount, and interest rate. As I am responsible for paying off loans and accruing interest, is n't it my financial right ( I know, it 's a strong term ) to receive a monthly statement showing how they are calculating my interest and that the interest subsidy is being applied?

The promotion was to earn XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after certain criteria were met ( which they were ) including opening a Citigold checking account, make debit card purchases totaling {$1000.00}, and XXXX direct bill pays - all within a certain time period. I opened the checking account via the promotional link and I called to make sure the checking account opening was linked to the promotion ( which they confirmed that it was ). I met all of the criteria and waited for 90 days for the points to post which they have n't. When I called Citibank regarding the offer they said there was no such offer in conjunction with the opening of my account. I have called and send secure messages but they refuse to give me the points which were part of the offer.

Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info — Talked to a third party about my debt
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (NV)

I work in collections so I am very familiar with all fdcpa violations. I was taught the most important rule is YOU MUST VERIFY WHO YOU ARE SPEAKING TO BEFORE DISCLOSING PRIVATE INFORMATION BY VERIFYING THE SOCIAL ETC. I was called by trans world systems, XXXX, she said is this XXXX, I said yes ( just to trap her because anybody can just say yes ) and she immediately went into what debt is owed, the amount, and my intentions of paying it back. I got her name, company name, advised her she never verified who I was and that she violated fdcpa regulations and asked to speak with her manager ( XXXX. ) I told XXXX that her rep never verified my social or anything else and that she violated fdcpa regulations. She told me she has been in collections for 10 years and so I asked her if she verifies the social before disclosing PRIVATE INFORMATION and she said of course. I asked what can she do to correct this problem and she said all she can do is apologize because her rep violated fdcpa regulations. I advised her I will be making a official FTC complaint and if needed will be contacting a attorney. Again she apologized and we ended the call. Also, in atleast one incident, multiple voicemails were left in one day which is also a violation of fdcpa.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NJ)

I purchased a XX/XX/XXXX Acura TL on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, NJ. The dealership stated that the bank charged me {$1500.00} in acquisition fees to get approved. The vehicle had some problems but I never drove the vehicle off the lot. The dealership made XXXX attempts to repair the vehicle and I told them I just wanted to cancel the deal. The owner of the dealership told me if I called the bank he was going to keep my money & the car. I called the bank on XX/XX/XXXX to cancel the deal of a vehicle I never took possession of and they told me that they could n't do anything on their end because the loan was n't in the system. The representative told me that I needed to call back in a couple of days. On XX/XX/XXXX, the dealership called me and told me the bank had sent the funds to them and they refused to cancel the deal. I called the bank to confirm this information and they told me I needed to seek legal counsel. If the dealership mislead me the fraudelent bank fees, car history, and bogus destination fees. I wonder what measures they went to get me approve and it needs to be investigated. I informed M & T Bank of fraudulent deal that I wanted to cancel and they would not assist me. I was scammed out of {$2500.00}.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (AZ)

Federal Loan Servicing reported a 90 day late to the credit reporting agencies in XXXX of 2016. I deferred my student loans while I went through consolidation and an income driven payment plan application. I thought that ALL of my loans were deferred while I went through this process. In XXXX 2016, I contacted XXXX, who I thought was the name for the federal government 's organization that handled ALL student loans, to defer my loans while I went through the process of consolidation and applying for an income driven payment plan. 
When I started receiving delinquent notices, having no idea that different organizations carried my student loans, I called XXXX to learn what was going on. XXXX assured me my loans were still deferred and the process was going on as expected. I did not know that there was another organization that I had to talk with to have the payments deferred on these loans. I thought I was doing everything right and was horrified when I learned that my credit was destroyed from the confusing way student loans are handled. 
The process is now complete and I am paying as agreed to Federal Loan Servicing, they have the entire consolidated loans currently. 
I have contacted FedLoan Servicing and have sent them their disputed credit form twice and have been categorically denied ... I do n't believe they have even read my letter. 
Please help me in convincing this company to reverse their negative reporting. Loan # XXXX.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (MO)

I had a loan with AES and recently refinanced my student loan with another provider. My new lender sent AES money to pay off my loan with them, however the amount AES received was more than the amount required to pay off my loan. My new lender says they sent AES a check for {$12000.00}, but AES only applied {$12000.00} to my loan to pay it off. The {$160.00} difference between those amounts has disappeared and I 've sent many emails to AES but received no response from them at all other than confirmation emails that show they have received my complaint. I believe that AES was overpaid by my new lender and they are refusing to acknowledge me and return the extra money they received.

Company: AES/PHEAA (WA)

After being on the IBR repayment plan for nearly 5 years, the REPAYE repayment plan looked like an even better option for myself and my wife. Both of us have Subsidized and Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans with FedLoan Servicing, and both of us are XXXX pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness. We applied for REPAYE XX/XX/XXXX, got approved on XX/XX/XXXX, but since then nothing has changed. Our payments remained the same, except that we just got notice that now we have to pay nearly double our payments. Mine went from XXXX to XXXX, and my wife 's went from XXXX to XXXX. This is a total increase from XXXX to XXXX ( up XXXX or a 65 % increase ). Both of us have emailed twice ( XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ), and neither of us got a response the first time, and the second time I got a response simply stating to keep making my payments and it all should work out.

Company: Vantage Sourcing, LLC (NC)

XXXX is a greedy company to be frank. They have been harassing me by phone about a wireless internet service that I have not used in months ... very little or if any in the entire year of XX/XX/2016. I have had to file not XXXX, not XXXX, but XXXX complaints against them within the last several weeks with the FCC. I recently paid my last bill of {$65.00} for a service that I have not used in many months and cancelled the service. No one did not mention that I had anymore money to pay. Now, all of the sudden last week, I get a bill in the mail from a debt collection company called Vantage Sourcing XXXX for {$81.00} for a service that is cancelled and for a service that I have not used in many months. XXXX have sent me bills directly for years, but now all of a sudden, they send my bill to a debt collector. The only reason XXXX sent my extra bill to a debt collector is because I complained to the FCC 2 times about their harassing phone calls ... that 's the only reason! I 'm being made to pay an extra bill because XXXX is doing it out of spite, retribution, and revenge because I contacted the U.S. Government about them. After I cancelled my service, I received a statement saying my monthly fee is {$0.00}. But if I do n't owe anything, why am I being charged then??? XXXX is trying to make life hard on me, that 's why. I would like for the FCC, FTC, and the Department of Justice to investigate XXXX for their business practices ... something is not right here. The ceo of XXXX needs to be held accountable for the actions of this company period!!!

I paid XXXX mortgages using my Suntrust business checking account. 
On XX/XX/XXXX online banking showed I had insufficient funds but all XXXX were posted, not pending or on hold, and I was charged {$38.00} for each for insufficient funds. The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, Suntrust added an additional {$38.00} return fee for each of the XXXX. This was in addition to the {$38.00} insufficient funds fees. I think I should have been charged one or the other, not both.

I am in the process of paying off my student loans. I went to setup an auto deduction for loan with AESSuccess and I was prompted that I could not setup an auto debit of more than {$1000.00} more than my minimum monthly payment. I wanted to pay an extra XXXX so I could pay it off by XX/XX/XXXX. I find not being able to pay as much as I want over the monthly minimum very disturbing as now I have to make two payments and they get to accrue more interest.

Company: AES/PHEAA (DE)

I allowed XXXX XXXX XXXX to work with Fed Loans for an income dependent repayment plan. I sent payments ( {$620.00} ) to them every month until I found out that I could make the same arrangements with Fed Loans directly. At this point, Affordable Life did not forward my payments to Fed Loan, because I did not allow permission for them to access my Fed Loan account. Affordable Life told me that if I did not work through them, I would have to pay {$1900.00} a month. At this point, I sent my tax returns ( 2014 ) and filed for another IDR. I did not hear back from Affordable Life and in the meantime Fed Loans reports 120 days late payments to the credit bureaus. I would like this negative and false reports removed from all three credit bureaus.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (FL)

On Thursday XXXX XXXX, 2015 I went to SunTrust Bank, the branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Florida. I opened a new account. Included in my itnitial deposit was a check in the amount of {$10000.00} and cash in the amount of {$2000.00}. The cash amount was broken and deposit was made into checking {$1900.00} and savings {$100.00}. I left the bank and returned the next day on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to withdraw {$1400.00} to pay some bills. I was told at this time my money had been frozen and I could not have access to my cash funds. The bank representative XXXX XXXX told me the check looked funny and they suspected to have an issue with the check. It would take 5 to 15 days for the bank to review my account. The cash money the bank held and is still holding todays date XXXX/XXXX/2015 was my monthly income to pay my bills with and to purchase gas for my car and groceries. I tried to call SunTrust Bank on Monday XXXX/XXXX/2015 to find out the status of my money. I could not get through to the bank calling the number I had been provided. I called the local phone company operator to help me with getting me through to the number. i was informed that both my home phone number and my cell number had been blocked at the account holders request. SunTrust bank allowed an employee to block my calls when they were holding my funds and would not give me access to my cash deposit. I am enclosing the notice of hold dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 that gives the reason the hold was placed on my deposit. Code XXXX states deposit exceeds clients average balance. This is a fabrication as I did not have an average balance, this was a new account. Also the notice advises my funds will be available on XXXX/XXXX/2015. This letter is dated XXXX/XXXX/2015. I did not receive this letter until XXXX/XXXX/2015 almost a week later. The next correspondence dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 received on XXXX/XXXX/2015 states my funds will be returned to me within 5 business days. 5 business days would be XXXX/XXXX/2015. As of todays date XXXX/XXXX/2015, 10 days later, still no funds. My health insurance is being terminated, my electric is due to be cut off. i have no food in the house. 

Yesterdays date XXXX/XXXX/2015 I again tried to reach SunTrust bank regarding the status of my funds. For a period of XXXX and XXXX half hours i was transferred to XXXX different people. None of the XXXX people could tell me when I would be getting my money. I want my money or a good reason my cash funds are being held and reviewed. 
I would appreciate help in gaining my money back from this bank. Do I have any recourse to recover for any damage caused by this unreasonable delay in allowing me to have my money. Also is SunTrust responsible to pay me interest on these withheld funds?

I was XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and did not receive income for approximately 5 months. Suntrust placed my mortgage in their home preservation department. I have submitted the same paperwork numerous times and every time they need something else and then the packet expires. I sent 2 full mortgage payments 3 weeks ago based on what I was told by the company, wire to wire transfer, and I received the money back because they will only accept the full amount. I received a letter 2 weeks ago stating my packet was complete and this past Saturday I had to fax pay stubs and today I got a call stating I did not complete 1 of the forms correctly.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (MD)

My minor daughter had her atm/debit card stolen as well as her mobile banking account information for her checking and savings accounts at Suntrust bank hacked. The thieves used her card to make fake/altered traveler 's check and money order deposits to her account then on the same/next day used the card to make large purchases. They withdrew money from the Suntrust atm as well. This was all in a few days window from approximately XX/XX/2016. Her first indication of anything wrong was the bank 's fraud department calling her on XX/XX/2016 and she realized her card was missing. She is in high school during the day and works part-time several days per week so does not make purchases daily so had not realized it was missing. The fraud department had her verbally go through the information as to what purchases she remembered making, but at that time she was not made aware of any of the fake/altered check deposits. The next week a letter ( s ) came from them in regards to being overdrawn. I went to the bank branch ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) and the manger pulled up the information and then gave me copies of the checks that had been forged-she never knew about those. We were supposed to have a form sent to contest those charges. The forms did not arrive and I spend hours over weeks talking to multiple people. Recently another department sent a notice stating that the accounts would be closed and demanding the overddrawn amounts be paid ( about 2000 $ ) as well as stating that a negative notation would be put on our credit files. I have given them the case numbers but it seems the fraud department does not share the information with the collection department. We were again by the fraud department to fill out forms ( some of them to be notarized ) that then never arrive. They insist that all this could be handled at a bank branch but due to our work schedules we have only been able to go to a branch once and that was not a useful experience. We requested the evidence they used in denying the claim-such as a list of all the time stamped transactions, video images of the perpetrator at the ATM and at XXXX making the purchases at XXXX. However, they have never provided the information only sending a denial letter. They have been very uncooperative. Without the proper information we can not adequately rebut any inconsistent information-my daughter is minor teen and even a week after the incident could not adequately recall which days she may have worked or not and what places she went or not let alone months later. The places that the thieves went to get and spend money were at some distance from our home base and it ridiculous how the bank is handling this situation.
