Consumer complaint received 07/24/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: I was denied loan forgiveness due to a loan not paid off prior to XXXXXX/XX/XXXXwhen receiving new loans in XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX. I was a student still going to school in XXXX and XXXX how could I pay the loan off, I was still getting loans. This is a government policy and I understand that. XXXX XXXX customer service told me to pay off the XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXloans and they would be removed from my account - then, apply for student loan forgiveness again. So they put my loans on forbearance for me to do this. When I applied for loan forgiveness again, I was denied again. I was told what XXXX XXXX told me was not accurate. Just at that time, my loans were transferred to Navient. I have had nothing but bad customer service from Navient. I was also told I could go income based, this made my payment higher!! Then I was told I could do the loan forgiveness which is a 10 year loan payment. I would be able to get a direct loan and pick my loan term, but after ten years it would be forgiven. I called to have that done with the government and was told I could NOT pick my loan term and/or payment. I was also told by Navient specifically told me I could pick the term so my payment would be lower and it would be forgiven after 10 years. I am XXXX years old and will be retired in 10 years. The navient customer service told me it would be easier and cheaper for me to keep it as it is .... I would be able to pay it off. NO ONE HAS HELPED ME EVER WITH THIS STUDENT LOAN PROCESS!!!!! I have been given information that is not true or that did not apply to me. In XX/XX/XXXX, I paid my bill, it came out of my bank account twice. I was told by Navient I had to go to the bank and cancel that 2nd payment coming out, this cost me a fee at my bank. The next month when I tried to make a payment, the bank account information is not good, they can not - in their system, remove the stop payment. I was told I had to go to the bank and have my bank send a letter to their fraud department. However, the customer service representative kept telling me she could take my payment over the phone. I thought my bank account was n't good? When transferred to a supervisor, he still could not help me ; however, he did take my payment over the phone??? with my debit card linked to the account???? and it did go through ... ..My bank has no idea what they want and informed me they can not send a letter with my information on it.

Consumer complaint received 06-06-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (WA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: We have experienced issues with our mortgage servicing company, Nationstar. Our mortgage was transferred from another mortgage servicing company to Nationstar in XX/XX/XXXX Prior to the transfer, the other mortgage servicing company had overcharged us in XX/XX/XXXXbecause they had not accounted for a makeup payment we had made to our escrow. I had talked with the other mortgage servicing company in early XXXX about applying the overpayment amount to our principle. They did not do this before our mortgage was transferred to Nationstar. In XXXX, I notified Nationstar of this error and they made the change and reapplied all the payments that occurred in the interim. The very next automatic monthly payment that was made to Nationstar was erroneously applied to principle only. I did n't catch this until I noticed my Tax form showed a lower than expected interest paid in XXXX. InXX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Nationstar about this erroneous principle only payment and again Nationstar had to reapply all of my monthly payments dating back to XX/XX/XXXX Again (! ) the very next automatic monthly payment that was made to Nationstar was erroneously applied to principle only. It is now XXXX, and seeing that my Escrow balance is now short and I am being asked to make a makeup payment, I have contacted Nationstar and pointed out this issue again. I have talked with a call center supervisor and strongly suggested they elevate this issue as it appears to be a bug in their system that is causing mortgage payments to be misapplied after a correction is made. I hope they do so. My concern about this issue is that if I were not diligent in keeping track of how Nationstar is servicing my mortgage loan, the loan holder could have come after me for skipping an interest payment on my mortgage because of Nationstar 's error. I worry that others may have fallen victim to this error. I also worry that without accountability, Nationstar will not fix this issue and even more mortgage payers will have to deal with the problems this error creates.
It boggles me that Nationstar 's sole responsibility is to make sure my monthly payments are applied to my mortgage properly and they ca n't get it right.

Consumer complaint received 03-01-2017 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Altisource Portfolio Solutions, S.à r.l. (MS).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: Today I was contacted by Nationwide Credit Inc stating that I owe a bill in the amount of {$220.00} regarding terminix. I contacted terminix on several attempts and as of today 's date I have never received a corrected bill from their accounting office in order to pay what is owed. Every time I call their office it is a difference amount than what is on the original bill and as of today 's date this collection is also for a different amount than what they have stated I owed. I can not pay a bill if a company is not sure of what I owe nor can a bill be paid when I have never received a corrected copy in order to pay it. I was advised that I would receive a discount on my bill for customer loyalty and as of today 's date that has never been discounted and also I have never received a bill that showed the corrected amount to pay. Today I received a bill from Naitonwide Credit advising I needed to pay {$220.00}. I have never owed {$220.00} to this company and do not know where this amount has been calculated from and what for it has now became a form of blind payment system. Throwing money on a bill and never receiving or paying more than what is owed in order to satisfy a greedy company that does not live up to what they said you owe and for services that have not been rendered.

Consumer complaint received 04/24/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: In  XXXX   XXXX , the co-owner of the car loan called me to tell me the vehicle was being repossessed. The co-owner stated he filed bankruptcy and he and his lawyer sent in a letter to the loan company turning over the vehicle. I was the primary on the loan and the one making the payments. I went to make  XXXX   XXXX  payment online and I was not allowed into the account. I then called the company to find out why. I was told at that time they had received the letter from the co-owners lawyer turning over the car. At this point I had not received any information about this from the loan company. Not through mail nor through a phone call. After that time, I was not allowed into the account to make payments. I was told they were going to pick up the car. My credit report shows  XXXX   XXXX  30 days late,  XXXX   XXXX  60 days late,  XXXX   XXXX  90 days late,  XXXX   XXXX  120 days late,  XXXX   XXXX  ok, and then  XXXX   XXXX  FP - If I was unable to get into the account and make a payment, how can I have all of these late payments and non payments on my account? The car sat from  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  before it was picked up. Even though in  XXXX   XXXX  I was told that the vehicle was going to be repossessed, no one picked up the vehicle till  XXXX   XXXX . And then they want to show on my credit that I was late for 6 months. Also, if the co-owner and his lawyer sent in a letter turning over the vehicle without my knowledge, how can this effect my credit? I was not notified by the co-owner nor was I notified by the loan company. On my credit report,  XXXX  companies are showing a balance with this loan company at {$9300.00} and another  XXXX  showing a balance of {$35000.00} - How can there be such a significant difference in the balances of the same loan?

Consumer complaint received 04/13/2017 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with CURO Intermediate Holdings (TN).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: I have an account with speedy cash - It is an opened XXXX loan with daily interest. I have been paying on it the XXXX and the XXXX every month. Even while out on XXXX leave- I recently was unable to pay and was sent to collections. 
I assumed that the since I was not paying on it and it was in collections that I would no longer be charged interest. That is not the case - I contacted them today to see about a payment plan and was told that I am still being charged interest daily- I advised that this was unfair- they misunderstood me and thought I was requesting the interest to be suspended until I returned from XXXX leave. I advsied that I was requesting it to be suspended idefenltily. Why continue to charge interest if you are not receiving a payment- You are going to cause me to owe double. In fact they stated that too - trying to scare me into making a payment. 
I can understand charging interest on a good account, but when a consumer has contacted you and told you there situation they should try to work with you in some way - They are not even trying to work with me at all - Again kept saying XX/XX/XXXX - I advised that i can make a payment before then but needed to have the interest removed. The loan is past due why continue to charge interest on a loan? Why not just close the loan and get a payment plan on it that benefits you and the consumer?? They are not willing to work with me at all other than to take a payment to day and suspend the interest for 30 days - Thats not helpful- They also did not read me the rights of fair debit collection disclaimer. The seemed abusive and abrasive. No matter how I tried to work with them they were not willing to bend. 
XXXX loans are tricky and yes I understand daily interest. But I cant get a loan with them now becasue Im in collections there for the contract should be void and other rules should apply. At least try to work with your consumer. If they would work with me they would get there money back sooner and I wouldnt owe double

Consumer complaint received 03-09-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (MA).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: From the onset the purchase with Toyota Financial Services, we were given bad service. We were invited to purchase a vehicle through their Bankruptcy Program for people who just filed. We were offered a a few vehicles that were not worth the amount money that they were asking for. We were also told that we were denied credit by all other lenders except for Toyota Financial Services, unfortunately, we received a few weeks later from XXXX XXXX stating that we were approved but we did not respond. So currently, after struggling with payments but attempting to pay them, I was finally able to pay in full an amount tom bring my account current. i made a payment on the TFS website and received the message that the payment was received. My husband called Toyota to confirm a few days later and was told that the we were all set and our next payment is due at the end of the month. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I called Toyota because I noticed that called and was informed that they did not see the payment and it did not post and is still due. My husband was offered to pay our usual monthly amount ( about {$400.00} XXXX, but my husband insisted that they get to bottom of why the payment was not made. The manager was put on the phone and we were met with aggression and disrespect. She treated us as if we were playing a game and not trying to fix out account issue. So we hung up and called the bank who Toyota insists is the cause of this issue. When we returned the call to Toyota to get more information, we were placed on the repossession list and I was informed that it was effectively immediately. We requested for XXXX to XXXX hours to figure this problem out and fix it, but they refused and we are now losing our car when I clearly tried to make a payment. Their customer service, both at XXXX Toyota in XXXX and on the telephone at Toyota Financial Services, has been by some, aggressive, confrontational, and not a good representative of what a good car service should be.

Consumer complaint received 10/20/2016 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I applied for the secure Capital One credit card got approved and made the required down payment. The card arrived and tried to activate online but got error this could not be processed and would need to call to activate. I was then told account was flag for fraud to my surprised, as seem crazy for someone stealing my identity to apply for a secure card and pay with their own money from their bank account the down payment required to open the account. I was then told needed to send in my driver 's license thru a secure email link as proof showing the address I applied with and I did. I contacted them back a week later as did not hear back with confirmation card was activated. Now being told I need to also send in my SSN, bank statement and a utility bill as well. Capital One claims this is to prevent fraud but yet asking customers to provide all their personal information that someone can now decide to use and in fact steal my identity. I find this ironic and refuse the provide them anymore documents especially my bank statement which shows my full account number. I 've already provided my driver 's license and SSN which is too much information already. At this time I rather the account be cancelled and refund my down payment back to my bank account. I will put an alert on my credit report as well to make sure my identity is not compromised seeing as how a copy of my license and SSN is now in the hands of some unknown person or persons at Capital One. Where is my guarantee my information provide has not been compromised.

Consumer complaint received 08/28/2017 about Mortgage (Other type of mortgage) with Fay Servicing, LLC (NY).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: Fay Servicing stated verbally on a recorded line, that if I agreed to the trail modification and made 3 consecutive payments during the trail, I would be granted a permanent modification as well as debt forgiveness. I owned over 100k more than what my property was worth at the time and it made reasonable  sense to agree to the modification with the stipulation that I would be granted debt forgiveness, that would forgive XXXX from the loan. I fulfilled my end of the agreement, made XXXX consecutive payments but, Fay Servicing did not fulfill their end on the agreement and was told that, they could not honor the agreement and grant debt forgiveness that would forgive XXXX from my mortgage, thus bringing my mortgage amount to reflect current value because my property is not located in the state of Illinois.

Consumer complaint received 01-07-2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: It just hit me yesterday, XXXX posted a late payment notice on all credit reporting agencies. Not true. I 've paid them autopay for 32 years. Had a problem with XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX on or about XXXX XXXX, 2015. I paid estimate and then cancelled due to a problem. I never used them to move me from FL to AL. 
The movers finally settled and I have the legal document they signed XXXX/XXXX/15 ; I signed on XXXX/XXXX/15 and sent copies to all executives at XXXX in IL and their Dispute Center and no one every confirmed receipt. About one month later I have a printout that shows XXXX transactions for {$1400.00} and {$540.00} ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) were REPOSTED again by XXXX -- there are XXXX some kind of ID # XXXX that probably would identify who these people are that REPOSTED the XXXX items, but it 's obvious to me that XXXX XXXX who says he 's in the President 's Office has n't even attempted to look into what I told him when he lied to me that the Alabama Attorney 's General did not give him enough information in their letter. I received a copy of that letter the next day and all the information was in it that I gave them. XXXX XXXX takes information from previous messages back and forth I had with their Dispute and Corporate Inquiry Departments. Desa of XXXX Dispute told me to stop sending messages!!!!!!! 

I have XXXXXXXXXXXX who say they work for the US government on debt collections reviewing my case and am awaiting the results this week. 

When I thought all was okay again, I made some purchases, but when I saw those reposts I panicked but even with the purchases I made they still owe me a refund of approximately {$250.00} plus {$50.00} cash back. I think all the employees at XXXX was passing the buck. There was one gal XXXX who seemed like she wanted to help me -- said she 'd call the next day at XXXX XXXX and never did call!!!!!!!!!! She 's the one that alerted me to the fact the charges were not authorized by me. I call that fraud!!!!! 

I 've been in XXXX treatment in XXXX and XXXX for a year now and have endured the stress and anxiety of wanting to go home to XXXX and I ca n't go to buy a home because XXXX has done this cruel thing to me. 

I 've also been abandoned by my son and I live in a very desolate area on a lake, no neighbors, asked for help from every agency I know and got nothing. 
I will survive being a recent widow on top of everything else.

Consumer complaint received 12/27/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I am a victim of Hurricane Irma. I have had 5 addresses in 3 states since XX/XX/XXXX due to Irma. I have been working on looking for transportation, a place to live and reducing my debt. As such, I have had to apply to a few financial institutions to see what my options are. 
**Hence all three credit reporting agencies are stating, 'Too many inquiries in the last 12 months '. That is unavoidable due to Hurricane Irma. Please help me remedy the issue. 
**I have no credit card debt or home loan, yet XXXX and Trans Union are reporting 'Proportion of balance to high credit on bank revolving or all revolving accounts ' is high. 
**I do not owe anything on any credit card or revolving accounts yet Trans Union is reporting 'Amount owed on revolving accounts is too high. ' **I have no delinquent accounts, yet all three reporting agencies are showing that I have recent delinquencies. I do n't have any revolving debt. I only have a car payment and I have not been late. 

Hurricane Irma has disrupted my life. I have always had impeccable credit and should not be punished further by credit reporting agencies by trying to recover from a natural disaster.
