Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (RI)

My loan just migrated to Navient in XXXX. I called at the end of XXXX and they could not give me payment information, they told me to call back in a couple of weeks. I forgot ( completely my fault ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I was prompted to log-in to Navient due to a concern about my loan. I logged in. My total due was {$10.00}. {$5.00} was due and {$5.00} was past due. I paid {$10.00} and received confirmation of the payment and that I was all set. A few days later, I get a text message stating that my loan needed attention. I logged in and the account status was past due in an amount over {$100.00}. I was confused and livid. I called Navient. I explained what had happened. The rep would not validate my story ( i.e. " Oh, I do see that it was {$5.00} per month '' ). He acknowledged that I paid {$10.00}. He said that I owed {$90.00} + per month. This did not make sense because I was past due for two payments totaling just over {$100.00}. When I explained that I could not afford this new amount due, he took my income and family size only, did not ask about any other expenses and offered a payment plan for a bit over {$40.00}, deferred until XXXX. When he finalized that plan, he said, as if a script " Your payment has been deferred, you owe nothing until XXXX ... at that time your payment will be {$5.00} ''. Then he said that the payment plan that I had been on with the prior servicer would drop off " at some point '' that he did not know. He said that the {$5.00} might change in XXXX. I have worked in consumer finance and I have never heard of giving a debtor a range of anywhere between {$5.00} and {$50.00} for a payment. I really feel uneasy dealing with this company.

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

I am a co-signer on my son 's student loan. When Navient took it over, they forced us into monthly payments that we absolutely can not afford. My husband had a serious accident 2 years ago and is not back to his regular job yet. We are overdrawn every month and are paying huge overdraft fees every month. They used intimidating tactics and we felt that we had no choice but to go along with their payment plan, even tho it 's putting us in a hole deeper and deeper every month!

Product: Credit reporting — 
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

I have tried over 10 times to get my XXXX score directly from Equifax, and their system has refused to release my XXXX score. I tried to call for help over 6 times and they say nothing is wrong but I still can not get my XXXX score. Originally they stated I had a mismatched name but I sent them documentation on XX/XX/2017 showing my proper name and they updated it. I believe the hyphen in my last name is causing a problem with their system. My hypenated name on my credit report does n't match my non-hyphenated name on my Equifax profile. But the Equifax profile does not allow hyphenated last names but their credit report allows hyphenated names. This creates a mismatch that prevents me from getting my score. I have been bounced around to different departments and no one is helping me. The error code shown on my XXXX failed orders is Eval Code : - Status Code : XXXX Reason Code : XXXX but no Equifax agents knows what it means. I also tried to purchase the XXXX score from a different source ( XXXX ) and they can not get my Equifax report data. Equifax is not releasing my credit report. My refinance is closing in a few days and this is jeopardizing my loan.

Then they quoted {$7500.00} because they thought I did not remember the original amount so they transposed the numbers.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: Flagstar Bank, National Association (FL)

Money Market Account with Ny Community Savings - withdrew remaining balance and brought account to XXXX. Requested account closure via telephone 6 times, to no avail. Bank then charges series of minimum balance fees on a XXXX balance account. Bank credits {$1.00} in interest earned on prior balance. Instead of crediting my checking account with the interest and closing money market the bank waives one of the fees, charges more fees putting the account into overdraft for {$28.00} and conducts an unauthorized EFT from my checking account for the {$28.00} to pay their fees. This is an unfair practice that aims to increase fee revenue at the expense of the consumer. The account was at a XXXX balance and the bank posted {$1.00} interest. There is no clear justification to begin billing low balance fees on a XXXX or residual interest balance. Stop this practice.

Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TN)

I currently work for an XXXX. Months ago my card was hacked and it took almost two months for regions to rectify the situation. They sent me letters that miscalculated the costs which led me to believe they had not returned all the funds. In fact they had but their " specialist '' did not do his math calculation correctly. 

Thats right, an employee of a bank did n't add correctly. It gets worse. 

Now, as they send me a new card they stated in their letter that the pin of the card would stay the same. That did not happen. I tried to access my account with the new ATM card and it was denied. I call them up from XXXX and when I get to a person on the phone, probably a call center, the person on the phone informs me that XXXX has been " blacklisted '' by the United States government. He said that mean while I was living and working in XXXX I would never be able to access the card. I had to leave XXXX for it work. I was shocked because friends who work at the US Embassy and other friends had not heard of this. 

Why have they not heard of it? Because it was n't true!! 

The man straight lied or got misinformed by someone else saying the USG blacklisted XXXX. I called them back after checking the news to make sure I this man was inaccurate in saying that. I request a supervisor this time, someone who works at Regions directly, perhaps the previous man did not. I explain to her the situation and inform her of past information given to me. She apologizes and informs me I have to wait 5-7 business days for a letter that has my new pin # in it. 

So my complaint is based on important facts. Regions employees did not add the math correctly in the XXXX 2017 falsified transactions. Additionally, when it came time for me to access the card and my pin was rejected the person I contacted told me XXXX was " blacklisted '' by the United States government. That is a total and complete lie given to me about not accessing my money in Regions bank and it was the spread of misinformation which is not only complaint worthy, it is also worthy of legal proceedings against Regional Financial Corporation.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: COAST PROFESSIONAL INC (CA)

My student loan is in default and I have been trying to get a income sensitive loan rehabilitation agreement with the loan servicer since XXXX of last year. All of my application and documents are complete. Their apparent unwillingness stems from the fact that they want me to pick up the phone and discuss a payment plan. I have stated numerous times that I will not do this. All of my transactions have been written and sent via certified return receipt mail. My income is negligible, my legal payment will be much less than what they want to illegally coerce by telephone conversation which can not be proven. I have given them multiple chances and 30 day waiting periods between correspondence. The loan servicer does not respond unless forced to- I have a sizeable packet with copies of all written correspondence, documents, and mail receipts, for inspection as necessary. The loan servicer is Coast Professional in XXXX, LA. They are refusing to send me a written payment agreement contract for income sensitive loan rehabilitation.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't temporarily postpone payments
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (NY)

My loan provider for my private student loan is refusing to help me with some options to repay them. Unfortunately I recently lost my job and have no income because I was denied unemployment benefits. I am still fighting that decision with the State Department of Labor, but in the mean time I explained to FirstMark Services ( A Nelnet Company ) that I could not pay my monthly amount. I explained this to them before the date my payment was due since I had signed up for their auto debit program. They claim that since I have not made at least XXXX payments I am ineligible for forberance. So after that they continued to charge me late fees even after they knew about my situation including trying to collect the money from my bank account with no authorization which resulted in my bank charging me returned check fees. Then on XXXX/XXXX/2017 which would make my payments two months late they have a debt collector call me saying they are trying to collect a debt from me for an amount well above two months late including late fees. They then proceed to connect First Mark Services via a three way calling and then both of them started recording me telling me that they could not help me and that I do n't qualify for forberance and that at the end of the month it will go into default.

Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (WI)

the loan started off with XXXX. XXXX told me I could save XXXX $ a month from my {$1900.00}. so my payment would have been {$1300.00}. 
Thats what XXXX told me my payment would be if I refinanced. Then they fired him and they handed over my account to an associate named XXXX. I told this new associate I did not want an escrow account. She told me I would get {$3500.00} dollars back when closed on this deal., And I found a paper stateing the payments to be {$1900.00} and I told them the escrow wasnt supposed to be included, and they made the payment out to be wrong. So I told them escrow was n't supposed to be included and they knew the payment supposed to be the {$1300.00}, so I made XXXX payments this amount and then they said they would n't accept it unless I paid {$1900.00}. I would have never went for the loan unless the payment was going to be lower. I tried to contact the loan company to tell them the deal was off because the loan now was going to be more expensive then it ever was going to be. 
I never signed escrow account to be in effect and they said they were n't going to accept {$1300.00}. I feel I was scammed into this loan.

They call me repeatedly, although I 've told them time and time again I will pay them when I can, as I do not have a job, which is why I have n't been able to pay them in the first place. Soon after I bought the item, I lost my job and in addition to this, the item was stolen and when I filed an insurance claim, it was not until then that I was told that theft was not covered under the policy, something an in-store representative failed to mention although I asked her specifically was theft, loss etc covered and that I wouldnt not purchase the item ( s ) if this was not the case and subsequently, I was told a very assuring yes.
