Product: Debt collection — Credit card
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Attempted to/Collected exempt funds
Company: Hunt & Henriques (CA)

Good day. I reside in So XXXX and I have a civil court judgement for a defaulted credit card. This dates back to approx. XXXX. In XXXX the plaintiff attempted to levy my savings accnt at my credit union. I rec 'd guidance from the court 's self help clinic and submitted a claim of exemption stating my only income was from Social Security XXXX, VA benefits, and Gov't Pension, via direct deposit. The judge granted my exemption. I elected to have an additional credit union closer to home and had the VA benefits and Gov't Pension direct deposited there for convenience. Now, approx. 16 months later I receive a letter from the new credit union stating my entire accnt is frozen to satisfy a civil court judgement. I went down to them and explained my income in this accnt is protected from a civil judgement. I said there is no commingling of funds in my accounts. They stated they did not care and were going to follow the sheriff 's levy document. I stated they know where my income comes from as it is stated on the monthly statements. I stated, I believed they were violating Federal Law and state reg 's ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I finalized my brief meeting by stating that because of their reluctance to follow the law I am currently suffering damages that the credit union may be responsible for. 
I have since filled out the proper doc 's ( Claim Of Exemption and Financial Statement ) and submitted to the sheriff 's levy office.

Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

I submitted my annual re-certification on XX/XX/XXXX. I provided all documents including a paycheck stub from my employer ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and noticed the payments were recalculated INCORRECTLY ( {$260.00} ). They are not following the LAW and calculating the payments based on line one of my paycheck stub which shows my XXXX XXXX monthly pay. They are not properly deducting my TSP contribution. 

I called on multiple occasions throughout XXXX and XXXX of XXXX and spoke with supervisors who told me I could not speak with the employees who perform the calculations to understand what was wrong. The supervisor called the loan processors and they said that I needed to resubmit my pay stub and identify which items are taxable and which should be deducted. 

I resubmitted my paycheck stub with clear calculations and indications as to what is taxable and what should be deducted. The recalculated my paycheck on XX/XX/XXXX again without performing any deductions. The new payment is {$410.00} which is drastically above what it should be. The company refuses to tell me how they are calculating my payments and in my opinion, are breaking the law.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (NV)

My husband and I applied for a VA loan with Quicken Loans in XXXX, 2015. In good faith, we paid our {$400.00} deposit to be used towards expenses closing this loan. Our appraisal was completed and our home value returned at $ XXXX. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to move forward with the VA loan and decided to switch to a conventional loan. I was told repeatedly that this would not be an issue based on our good credit ( an excellent score of XXXX ) and income ; and even received a good faith estimate that we would need approximately $ 3k to close the loan. Suddenly, we were advised that a new appraisal would be needed and that one was returned at only $ XXXX, which meant that we would need over $ 18k out of our pocket to close the same loan. To add injury to insult, that reduction in value was after we had just spent $ XXXX in paint, new carpet, and tile work in the house, and the market value in the area has increased based on all realtor websites. I am not sure how one persons opinion ( which is what an appraisal is ) can drop the value of our home by $ XXXX. Quicken refused to use the XXXX appraisal as they said it was a VA appraisal and now we have a conventional application - how is it fair that the same Veteran lives in this house and because we ca n't get the VA loan, now our home is worth less and we are being penalized by being asked to come up with another $ XXXX in cash to close our loan? That sounds like discrimination if I have ever heard it!. This saga has dragged on for over 3 months - and now we are unable to move forward with our refinance due to the undue burden Quicken has placed on us. I have repeatedly asked Quicken to reconsider use of the original appraisal - and they refused. Not getting the VA loan just makes us less of a customer to them. I also asked then to have our {$400.00} good faith deposit returned as we did everything we were asked to do and spent day after day, hour after hour working with them ... calling them ... .having to follow up on them - what horrible customer service! Again the refused as clearly I am not a customer who can make them enough money to want to move forward. This has been the WORST customer experience we have ever had and I hope that no one else has to deal with the same level of incompetence that we have experienced with Quicken Loans!

XXXX of LoanDepot called me XX/XX/XXXX about refinancing my house with a VA loan. I sent them all of the requested paperwork, plus they charged my Visa credit card {$200.00} for an appraisal. A few days later, his supervisor XXXX called and told me a few things that XXXX never told me. XXXX also told me that I am NOT exempt from the VA Funding Fee. I have been XXXX XXXX with the VA since XX/XX/XXXX. I called the VA and they told me that I AM exempt from the VA Funding Fee, and the VA told me not to do business with LoanDepot. Five days before the appraisal was to be done, I called the appraisal company and cancelled the appraisal, so the appraisal never took place. Since then, I have requested twice that LoanDepot refund me the {$200.00} I paid for the appraisal that had been cancelled. To this day, LoanDepot has refused to issue me a refund.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (LA)

I have loans from my XXXX school studies at the University of XXXX from XXXX. These loans at the time totaled $ XXXX. Since then I have made arrangements which I was led to believe by Navient would be the best way to deal with repayment. In light of some recent research and discovery, they acted in an unethical and predatory manner by allowing my loans to continue to increase to $ XXXX with capitalized interest and high interest rates that are unfair and unrealistic. I would have made different arrangements in the days after graduating or went in a different direction had I understood how much my debt was increasing every year. I have repeatedly called for assistance and have only received forebearance or smaller payments terms that did not allow me to pay down my debt but rather allowed more and more interest and penalties to be added and now it is a completely unrealistic amount I can never repay especially not in a 10 year term and have enough money to pay for anything else. I am barely making it now as it is with taxes on a full commission check, healthcare costs, childcare, etc. Apparently I am not alone in this view as many others have the same issues. There is also a lawsuit with the same charges against Navient. I am formally filing this complaint to add my name to the list of those that have been treated unethically and unfairly by this company.

I submitted a dispute to Synchrony Bank regarding an appliance purchase I made from XXXX XXXX. Synchrony asked me for no information and said they would be in contact to let me know where to send my documentation. Approximately one month later I received a letter stating they had contacted the retailer who had provided them with documentation that the charges were valid because the unit was in " perfect working condition '' based on an inaccurate assessment from an unqualified servicer. This servicer 's assessment was disputed and a second servicer was sent to my house who did identify and issue with the unit, this is on record with XXXX. However, the merchant stop responding to my requests on XXXX XXXX. I have since sent numerous requests to the merchant without a response. The merchant has also falsely reported all of this information to Synchrony Bank using the documentation from the first service provider as evidence. It has been determined by Synchrony Bank that I am responsible for this purchase based only upon the merchants limited documentation and Synchrony Bank did not reach out to me to let me know where to send my documentation which extends beyond what the merchant provided.

Company: ACS Education Services (CA)

ACS has not been in contact with me consistently since I needed to start repaying back my loan. When I contacted them, they had the wrong address and updated me on payments. When I called to make my first payment, I was told I qualify for a cancellation, all I had to do was fill out a form and get a paper from my principal that said I was a XXXX at the school I teach at. I mailed in the documents and I was denied. I was then told I needed documentation that was on an official letterhead head, an official seal, & the date signed. I got that paperwork and heard nothing back until I received more documentation two weeks later saying my loan was going into collections. I called and immediately threw a fuss because I had done everything they asked. They told me in order to get it worked out, my principal needed to specifically state " XXXX, '' I protested by saying that no place in America has " XXXX '' teachers and me having to do that was unnecessary. I went back to my principal a third time and requested that pointless piece of documentation and sent it off. I thought I was in the clear until today I check my mail and see that again I am denied because the date on the documentation was incorrect. I am being harassed and threatened. I am being made to feel like I have something to hide and that who I am is not adequate. I have spent the last five years earning XXXX degrees and the amount of titles I hold XXXX would show I am clearly XXXX and an important one. I have been belittled and chastised by ACS and disregarded for. Their communication is lacking, and their flexibility is none-existent. If anything, it seems as though they want me to not go through with this process although I was advised to. Not to mention, all of the information they require is verified by the state. All of my credentials and positions are public record yet they refuse to take that initiative. I am using this time to file a complaint and contacting my lawyer.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (NJ)

Hyundai Theft of {$370.00} Hyundai Acct # XXXX Tell my Story First, I am a XXXX on a SSA small fixed income that gets to me on the first week of each month on a date from XXXX to the XXXX. My XXXX XXXX was picked up/delivered on XXXX XXXX but Hyundai required my lease date to be back to a XXXX due date for payments, not for when I started or made my first payments on this car. For about 1 1/2 years Hyundai Motor Finance harassed me routinely that by mail my payments were getting to them beyond their purposely shortened due date and grace period which was unchangeable on the XXXX of each month. This then caused me to mail checks to them early than the XXXX and without coverage money in the bank. They seemed to say pay on time or they would hurt my very good credit rating. So I wrote checks to them BEFORE the money was in my checking account. 

I constantly requested to them by mail to consider a longer GRACE period for me extending the due date in their programming that was causing all this harassment. They did nothing but harass me more. NOW in XXXX I saved enough money to make my {$180.00} monthly payments fully funded, early and get there faster thru banking AUTOMATIC payments that according to XXXX XXXX took only XXXXXXXX days to get to Hyundai in Texas. So if I could determine how long this would take automatically so it got there by any months XXXX date. I would go automatically by computer transfer. 

Because of Hyundai continuous harassment up to this automatic change I had to change the send date 3 times before anything was suppose to happen. Instead it ( XXXX ) was factually sent 3 times to Hyundai on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and also XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( bank records are available ) or 3 times XXXX. It should be obvious to anyone that only XXXX {$180.00} would pay my each month payments but not Hyundai they now claim they felt these XXXX close date payments by me was wanted for advance payment ( that is the thinking of pure incompetence ) so they rolled this in to the months lease payment rather than questioning me or mailing it back to me. STEALING was a lot easier to do and then to continue their harassment of my fixed government income. They now totally REFUSE to pay back this stolen {$370.00}

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (WI)

Navient conducted a financial statement to measure whether or not I would be eligible for greater payments at this time. At the end of the statement the woman said, 'it looks as if you have - {$400.00} each month, so how would you like to pay? ', after clearly stating I wo n't even be able to afford groceries this month. The calls from Navient NEVER stop, whether I set up payments for a future date or not. They frequently harass my consigner and I with rude comments, telling my father I said things I have n't and vice versa. One afternoon, they called my father at work ( after I had already set up a future payment ), demanding he pay immediately and he kindly said 'No, I need to talk to my daughter first to see where she stands ' and the woman replied 'so you are refusing to pay? ', he said 'no, never refusing to pay, I just need to see where my daughter stands financially first '. She went back and forth with my dad until the conversation was unbruptly ended by my dad who said she was one of the rudest, most demanding woman he had ever been in contact with. She immediately called me after their call ended stating that my consigner refused to pay and that I must submit a payment immediately to avoid default. I scheduled a second payment because we were threatened with default, which I had to take a cash advance off of my credit card because I did n't have anymore money to give them.
