Consumer complaint received 09/21/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I have a private loan through Navient. I signed up for a payment reduction plan that would allow me to make my payments and keep me out of delinquency. Navient explained once I was approved they would start removing {$360.00} from my bank account on a monthly basis. I was not approved for this plan and they proceeded to take the money out of my account without notifying me *they never notified me that I was not approved and that they would be taking the money out ). I do not have access to my Navient online account as it has been frozen and I do not know where the money is going or what it is paying off. I still do n't know what plan I am on because they wo n't give me access to my account. Every time I call, the collection manager, " XXXX '' threatens to sue me.

Consumer complaint received 08/15/2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MO).
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint: I applied for private student loans through Wells Fargo. Throughout the years I have accumulated over 100,000 in student loan debt. My parents were co-signers on all of these loans. My parents have a combined income of XXXX. My dad 's credit score is XXXX  and my mom 's is XXXX. Recently, I applied to refinance my student loans because my current monthly repayment plan is {$1200.00}. Wells Fargo denied my application to refinance, even with my parents as co-signers. My parents ' income and credit score has not decreased since my initial application to obtain all of my student loans. Why did Wells Fargo deny my application to refinance in order to obtain a reduced monthly payment plan when my parents ' credit score has not decreased from XXXX and XXXX? My parents and I are XXXX and I believe that Wells Fargo is trying to take advantage of that. This company is notorious for scamming their consumers and I really want to fight the denial to refinance my student loans.

Consumer complaint received 10-10-2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with WORLD ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (GA).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: I have not received paperwork/a contract from this business who is attempting to collect an alleged debt from me. I sent a letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and requested a validation of an alleged debt in the amount of {$720.00} to World Acceptance Corporation to no avail. In the letter, I requested the agreement bearing my signature stating that I agreed to assume the debt, the agreement stating the amount of said debt along with any accrued interest, as well as complete payment history for the debt allegedly belonging to me. In addition, I also included in the letter the account number tied to this debt that shows on my credit reports. I find that the response that I received from World Acceptance Corporation is unacceptable, and I believe the response to be a stall tactic. Validation of a debt is forwarding copies of the actual proof of the alleged debt and account in my name with my approval or signed statement of contract with the service per FDCPA. The response that I received from the creditor, World Acceptance Corporation, for validation was considered " frivolous '' in their words. I am dismayed that my concern for my credit, as important as it is, is considered frivolous by this company. It is my right, by law, to have any debt reported on my credit validated. I have provided World Acceptance Corporation with the account number which they themselves reported to the credit bureaus, and they still seem unwilling and/or unable to to validate this debt that I allegedly owe. This collection is a stumbling block on XXXX XXXX to homeownership. Considering that this business does not have a contract with me for goods or services they allegedly provided nor have they provided adequate proof, I am pleading to have this item deleted off of all of my credit reports in fairness of my rights with the laws and regulations of the FCRA.

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (UT).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: In XXXX 2016 I called my mortgage servicer to arrange for a payment after my grace period but before my thirty days. This is the first time I was not able to make my payment on the due date in the life of my loan. We arranged for a payment on the XXXX which I made online. They acknowledged the payment and so I moved on thinking it was taken care of. On XXXX XXXX I received an email stating my payment had not been received due to insufficient funds. When I went back to see what had happened I discovered the online transfer from my credit union to Wells Fargo had pulled from savings instead of checking which was were the funds were. I was able to make XXXX payments in XXXX but am now struggling to get out from behind the eight ball each month. I had also had been approved for a refinance with XXXX which will clear all my debt and make it possible to stay current with my mortgage from here on. However, the inadvertent late payment was reported to the credit bureaus and resulted in my refinance being cancelled. XXXX stated they would reinstate the loan file if I could get Wells Fargo to provide a letter stating they would reverse the report to the credit bureaus. I followed the steps which Wells Fargo gave me to write in to request a reversal of the late payment report and faxed all of my documentation to them on the XXXX. I spoke with their review department today ( XXXX ) and they confirmed they had received the documentation and would have answer back to me next week. However, I was told that unless they found that an error had been made by Wells Fargo it would likely be denied. 
The ripple effect of that decision would result in me having to sell my home to save further damage to my credit with no guarantees I will be able to qualify for a loan to get into a new home. 
I am writing to see if there is n't a rule, policy, or precedent which would allow Wells Fargo to reverse the report for late payment and keep this from cascading further. 
Thank you ...

Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: Afni Collections, Inc. sent a letter stating that I owed XXXX XXXX {$120.00}.

'' Any time I attempted to discuss the situation with the finance agent, XXXX XXXX, she shouted me down and insisted that I was at fault instead of answering my questions.
