Consumer complaint received 05/15/2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: American Express cancelled our XXXX American Express credit card account, but did not disclose that we would lose the cash rebate we had earned. The week of XXXX/XXXX/16, my wife had called to cancel the American Express XXXX Credit Card. She was told by a customer service representative that we could apply our cash back rebate of about {$15.00} to our final bill or we could receive it as a check. My wife was not able to complete the transaction because she was not the name on the account. I called American Express on XXXX XXXX, 2016 to cancel the account. The representative cancelled the account before I asked about the cash back rebate. At that point in time she told me that the only way XXXX could get the cash back rebate was to enroll in the XXXX XXXX program for XXXX. The very reason we were cancelling the XXXX American Express is that we do n't want to enroll in the XXXX XXXX program and were told by American Express in order to not be automatically enrolled we had to cancel by XXXX XXXX. I spoke to a manager who confirmed this information. I told the manager that we had been told we could apply the cash back rebate to our bill and that American Express had not disclosed that we would lose the cash back rebate by cancelling the card. The manager informed me that American Express was opening an investigation and that I could call back and get information in 10 days.

Consumer complaint received 05/16/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (MD).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Over a year ago due to personal circumstances my mortgage fell behind two or three payments. When speaking with the Nationstar collection representative they promised to take all outstanding late fees and penalties off my account if I brought the mortgage current with one payment for the balance outstanding. I made the payment and was told the adjustment for removing the outstanding late fees would appear on my mortgage statement in approximately 60 days. Months passed, the adjustment never occurred. I have called numerous times, waited on hold for extended periods, been promised someone would investigate and follow up with me. Nobody has ever followed up, nobody gives a satisfactory response and when I ask to speak with a supervisor I get put on hold for so long that I eventually have to just hand up and try another day. The only response I get to my inquiry is that the credit collection person should n't have promised to waive the late fees. That is an unsatisfactory response. The collection agent did promise to waive the fees if the mortgage was brought current, which it was, and Nationstar should be held accountable for honoring the commitments their representatives make when attempting to collect a debt.

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (IL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I 'm XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the principal on my student loan has doubled the amount I borrowed nearly 25 years ago ( $ XXXX for both XXXX and XXXX ). I 've been paying monthly on-and-off ( between deferments ) for about 16 years, amounts between $ XXXX $ XXXX. I 'll restate : I 've been paying my student loan for 16 years, and none of my payments have gone to the principal of the loan, which, if applied correctly, would have been paid off by now. ( I 've calculated I 've paid nearly $ 40K over the span of 16 years ). 

I had federal loans originally. Then I consolidated with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX gouged me with capital interest, then, when they were having legal troubles, cleverly split their company off to the company I now deal with : Navient. 

For someone like me : XXXX XXXX XXXX, been out of college for 20 years, consistently paid what I could throughout the years, there is no hope of help for me. I have literally just given {$40000.00} of my money away. None of my payments have gone to paying my loan. And I am in more debt than when I started college. I believe when XXXX XXXX approached me when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was the victim of predatory lending practices. All I wanted to do was go to school so I could better myself and get a good job. Now I 'm {$100000.00} in debt. I ca n't even buy a home and it has affected my credit. I net $ XXXX a year. I need to CFPB to help me finally resolve this issue -- call it even. I 've paid them {$40000.00} and there is no end in sight. At this rate, I 'll be XXXX XXXX XXXX and still paying on my student loan!!!! There must be a point when loans are waived -- beyond public forgiveness. Is n't there a XXXX threshold? HELP. I 'm drowning in student loan debt.

Consumer complaint received 07-12-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Diversified Consultants, Inc. (OH).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I asked XXXX to come to my house and install a landline. A representative came but he had a hard time finding outlets ( I think - maybe the problem was different ). The costs were also unclear to me. I told him not to install anything - that I did not want their service. The serviceman was very nice and cooperative. He agreed. He left. Then I began getting bills from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$100.00} for service. I never had a phone from them. Never had a phone number that could even have been used. I called XXXX and spent hours on the phone. I was told that I did not owe them anything and that it had been taken care of - not to worry about it. I received another bill and repeated that process again - called - spent hours on the phone and they said it was taken care of. I received yet another bill and repeated the process AGAIN. I was also told not to worry and to ignore any further bills because it takes a while for information to move around the company. I just received a phone call from a debt collector : Diversified Consultants. XXXX I am being hounded by XXXX XXXX XXXX and it is THEIR mistake - not mine. I never received any service from them.
