Consumer complaint received 02/13/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with PNC Bank N.A. (MI).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: Was approved for 2 credit cards with PNC Bank. A personal for XXXX and a business card for XXXX. Seemed fine. I had an emergency back where Im from so i had to move shortly after from XXXX  back to XXXX. Im a new XXXX XXXX, and am eager to do things right, but had no coaching on how to manage finances so I was excited to be a new client with PNC. Little did i know that this conservative Bank would profile me, and close both of my cards indefinitely and told Bank managers that i work with on my accounts that there was a lot of fraud on my cards. I do admit that i had to use my personal card to do business transactions at times, and my business card to do personal transactions at times. Mainly because their fraud department would decline my transactions per one or the other card, leaving me with not much choice other than using another card. I was treated as if I was doing something illegal, when in fact, I was just trying to start my year, and my new business off on the right foot. This was unfair, and I am being punished for not following rules that I didnt know existed. They said i should not have bought pizza ( for an event that my business was holding ) or gloves for my kids ( when my personal card wouldnt work ) with the card i used at the time. Now my cards are both closed while Im in the middle of a project that I got the cards for in the first place.

Consumer complaint received 01/26/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: Nearly ten years ago, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan started. As a professor at a public college since XXXX, with crushing student loan debt, I was thrilled to hear about the program. My student loans were nearly triple the value of my gross annual salary at the time, so I was interested to hear more about it. Each time I inquired about it, particularly to find out what my monthly payments would be, I was told that there were no estimated costs and that I just needed to switch to the Income Based Repayment ( IBR ) plan to find out. With a low salary and many debts, I was afraid to switch from my 30-year monthly payment plan to some unknown dollar amount. So I waited three years before I bit the bullet, still with no estimate of what the payments would be. Fortunately, my monthly payments were reduced by nearly {$100.00} a month on the IBR plan. Unfortunately, I had lost 3 years of loan forgiveness, even though I was paying more per month on my loans in a qualifying public service position. At that time, the XXXX agent told me that I could not retroactively change to the IBR plan in order to recoup those 3 years. There were also no application forms for the PLSF program, and I was informed that I need only submit the employment verification sometime in the next 10 years to ensure that I was added into the program. 
Fast forward to today - I still owe nearly 130 % of my gross annual salary in the same public service position, the PLSF program applications are available online, and I finally submitted my application to see where I stood in terms of the number of payments left before my loans would be forgiven. I am furious at the response letter I just received in the mail from XXXX, stating that I am not eligible for PLSC due to " No Eligible Loan Type ( s ). '' My loans were originally issued via the XXXX Federal Direct Loan Program, some subsidized, some not. Those loans are indeed part of the forgiveness plan. It is my best guess that the method of consolidation I chose back when I switched to a 30-year repayment plan through XXXX disqualified me from the program, but I am uncertain. I 'm really not sure how to fix the problem. It is difficult to navigate between the XXXX that reviews the PSLF applications and two different loan servicers that have changed through time, first XXXX and now Navient. I feel that I have been duped, and I would like to correct the situation at least back to XXXX, if not all the way back to the beginning of the PLSC program in XXXX. I am happy to provide any employment and income verification needed in order to rectify this issue. Please help.

Consumer complaint received 07/22/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with PHH Mortgage Services Corporation (ME).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: The mortgage company continues to make it difficult for me to get assistance online and I still can not get into my account online. When I attempt to ask for a new password, I get a message that I need to call ; I 'm then connected with their aggressive collection oriented " customer service ''. These people are combative and abusive in tone and have not been helpful and can not help with a password reset. The company sent me letters asking me to log on for loan assistance and when I tried, I was looped back into the scenario ; get your password, password link does n't work, call " customer service '', get collections people who do not help and tell you to call for help resetting password. These " customer service '' people are not even kept up to date with letters that were sent to me from the company which I tried to seek clarification on. They had no records or copies of letters and had nothing to offer by way of assistance but continued with collection techniques.

Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I have disputed the Diversified Consultants Account with XXXX and with Diversified Consultants. XXXX stated that Diversified Consultants verified that this account belongs to me.

Consumer complaint received 09/21/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: My loan holder is Navient, formerly XXXX XXXX. My account number is XXXX. I have several types of federal and private loans with them as I have loans from XXXX my time as an undergraduate and as a XXXX student. When I initially graduated XXXX school my loan payments were roughly {$2000.00} a month. I was able to pause payments while I looked for employment. Since finding employment some seven months after graduation, I have made a steady {$60000.00} a year. Upon beginning employment, I asked Navient if I had options for income-based payments. They told me to fill out an application for Income Based and Income Contingent payments and to select that I want Navient to choose whichever is the best option for me. I complied ( through some effort because there was an issue processing my application ) and eventually my payments went down to {$1500.00}. However, after speaking with a fellow attorney who had more total debt than I did and made the same exact salary, I was worried something had gone wrong because where he was only paying {$300.00} a month I was paying {$1500.00}. I called Navient and asked them to look into this and I was informed that they had done something wrong with my application and my payments should actually be lower. However, my payments were only lowered to {$1000.00} a month. I asked if there was any other way to lower my payments as I literally can not afford to move out of my father 's house on this salary and am struggling to make the payments and was told that because of the way my loans were " grouped '' there was nothing that could be done. I have been making the payments at {$1000.00} a month but it really is an unbearable imposition. I can not afford to live on my own when paying {$1000.00} a month for my student loans on top of all the other financial responsibilities I have. Furthermore, most attorneys I speak to are shocked that I pay so much more than they do in comparable circumstances. I want to make sure that the amount I pay really is the fairest amount and that I am not being taken advantage of by Navient. In spite of my continued efforts I still find myself drowning in these payments. Thank you for your time.
