Consumer complaint received 03/17/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (WA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I attended XXXX XXXX ( a for profit school ) XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and received a certificate upon completion with no job placement assistance ( as they promised as part of their marketing tactics ) and immediately after completion, the school closed. I did not benefit from the school in any way including finding employment or assistance with any other issue. I also enrolled in the XXXX University online degree program in hopes of getting somewhere more beneficial and later found that credits were not transferable, so I withdrew immediately to attended a credible state university and the school received student loans with no return to lender or refunds. I am asking for relief from these loans as the XXXX College ( AKA XXXX XXXX ), is under investigations for the same fraudulent practices to recruit students, stealing information, harassment and other financial problems and not getting anywhere with this costly nightmare.

Consumer complaint received 09-02-2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with SLM CORPORATION (NJ).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about my loan

Complaint: I was five days late on making a {$55.00} payment to Sallie Mae and they began to harass my husband at work, calling XXXX to six times a day and telling him he needed to make payment immediately. They have NEVER contacted me and I am the loan-holder. Additionally, I made payment seven days ago using online bill pay, which generally takes one day to go through as it is merely a matter of transferring funds from XXXX back to another. On the most recent call, I was with my husband when he answered the phone ; I got on the line and explained to the customer service agent that no one has ever called me about the loan and I 'm the person who holds it. He claimed that people had been calling me for days, which is not at all the case. I went on the Sallie Mae website to ensure my phone number is correct, and it is. My address is also correct, though I have not received any type of correspondence from them. They will not stop calling my husband, even though I 've made payment and my husband is not the loan-holder. They wo n't listen to anything we tell them on the phone ; the only thing the customer service agents will say is, " You must pay immediately '' and " How would you like to pay? '' I am concerned my credit may be negatively affected if they report non-payment ; I am similarly concerned my husband will lose his job because of all the calls he is getting throughout the day at work.

Consumer complaint received 01-01-2016 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with RAYMOND JAMES BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MO).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I had CDs on the other ( outside ) side of the bank ( XXXX ) that paid a better interest rate with a custodian ( Cetera ), whereby they opened and moved those assets to Raymond James Financial that I did n't request, The service was inappropriate, was stated soon to be a floor of {$500000.00}, and that a transfer fee to an existing other ( TDA ) account would be " waived ''. The account annual fees were substantially higher, and the transfer fee was not waived, I was lied to, feel that the entire process was an act of fee engorgement and account churn for the institution, and not the client.

Consumer complaint received 09-11-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (UT).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax did not properly secure my protected personal information from intrusion, such as through appropriate patching, 2-factor authentication at the point of service, segmentation of data, etc. As such, it appears my full name, Social Security numbers, birth date, addresses, and possibly driver license number is cross-matched to each other and in the hands of criminals who can use this data to breach any number of accounts in perpetuity such as my banking and financial data, medical data, legal complaints, political data, and any other number of sensitive accounts.
Further, I am unable to secure these accounts because they ask for the very personal information that is breached in order to verify my identity and approve a change.
Equifax is currently offering a limited credit monitoring service, which does n't even activate immediately. Even this had to be sought out by those who see the news reports, follow the news links to the Equifax page, which in turn link to a shady third-party website asking for 2/3 of one 's social security number plus last name and a waiver of all class action recourse in order to discover if one is among the breached accounts, only changed to waive class action recourse from the third party site if it too is breached with the sensitive data it is querying once the news of this spread. This is insufficient to the need created by their negligent protection of my information, which I did not give them myself, but which they curated as their business from other businesses.

Consumer complaint received 11/30/2015 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA).
Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection

Complaint: Upon asking Bank of America in 2012 why they stopped sending me a monthly invoice they informed me it 's due to the fact that both of my credit cards had been moved to a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy folder. The problems with this are, XXXX of the cards was found to be fraudulent. Which Bank of America took care of. The other is, I 've never filed bankruptcy. After bringing this to their attention I was told that all card accounts would be frozen until an internal investigation could be completed. I was to do nothing until I heard back from them. A lengthy amount of time passed and I did not hear back from Bank of America. I contacted them about it and was told that no payments could be accepted because the legal dept. said the account could not be worked. Some more time passed and I received a credit report update that Bank of America had charged off the account as failed collections and bad debt. No communication or collection attempts were ever attempted nor should they have been needed. Bank of America simply needed to correct their error and reinstate my account. Which of course they have n't. I 've done nothing but follow their instructions. Yet, they continue to imply that this matter is somehow my fault. I have engaged the help of an attorney and after lots of stonewalling Bank of America has acknowledged over the phone to myself as well as my attorney that this is a bank error. The legal dept. has opened the account to be worked and I 've started making payments but Bank of America refuses to remove the account being charged off for XXXX months from my record. I need help resolving this as Bank of America seems unwilling to do the right thing.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: I went to XXXX XXXX for XXXX shopping but my card was declined. I called Phone banking but was put on long holds, finally when some one made their self available I was told that my card was temporarily blocked. This stupid decision was made without even informing me thus after queuing up in line to buy for weekend and XXXX I had to leave store empty handed. Further when ever I contact BoA I have to face long holds and their chat representative are always busy as well. This wastes my time and in case of emergency i do n't think i would be able to get in touch with them. Do n't they calculate their capacity model, whats the use of having help line and chat if they are always out of representatives. 
Can you please look into the above complain because the representatives at BoA do not care about customer complains.

Consumer complaint received 01/21/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with COLORADO HOUSING AND FINANCE AUTHORITY (CO).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: My loan is with Colorado Housing and Financial Authority. I was approved for a loan modification XX/XX/XXXX and although I had late payment my loan was brought current XX/XX/XXXX. I made my XX/XX/XXXX on time. I filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX and although it is my understanding my attorney did not file a reaffirmation, the modification was completed after the discharge of the bankruptcy. I have continued to make payment on my XXXX mortgage, however, despite repeated attempts to get an accounting of my payments I am told due to my bankruptcy they can not send any documentation. 
I received a Notice of Breach on XX/XX/XXXX even though the post mark was 10 days later. I paid the amount of the breach before the deadline and also made my XX/XX/XXXX payment before the delinquent date, as well as applying " unapplied balance to my escrow account. 

My escrow account : I changed my homeowner 's insurance XX/XX/XXXX to save approximately {$700.00} per year. I requested my insurance agent send the invoice to CHAFA to pay. CHAFA paid ( overpaid ) the old insurance company for which it took me almost 7 weeks to locate ( I had been with them since I purchased my home in XXXX. I advised CHAFA of the change and was told I would be responsible to pay the new insurer ( Farmer 's ) and have to obtain a refund from the old insurance company. I received a notice from XXXX which was not the agreed upon cost of the policy and XXXX adjusted my account and I paid the premium to XXXX. In the meantime, CHAFA paid XXXX, again, for the inflated premium and NOT the correct amount. 
CHAFA refused to provide me any documentation as to the status of my loan and today I received a letter that they are continuing with acceleration and foreclosure despite my loan is current, as is my XXXX loan. The letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( the day I made my XX/XX/XXXX payment ) is postmarked XX/XX/XXXX which is the usual mailing delay with any communication I receive. When contacting CHAFA I am transferred all around from customer service, to collections, to the bankruptcy department and all say the other is responsible for lifting the block for online access or correspondence. In fact, when I call and am given instructions regarding payment, when I actually call back to complete the directions ... they have changed ... In fact, my payment amount has increased 4 times in the past 4 months and I have yet to receive any documentation explaining WHY ... WHEN ... HOW LONG?? So I am making payments NOT the {$1700.00} in the loan modification from XX/XX/XXXX BUT {$2000.00}??!!

Consumer complaint received 12/14/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: In the last 10 years i 've had a couple of wild things happen to my credit but today I 'm complaining to this extent bc I 've reached my patience threshold. Noticed a judgement and large collections for some credit cards ... thought maybe it was a mistake and perhaps it was because of a name mix up with the bureaus no.. this is simply what happens when your company is based solely on trying to charge for services instead of focusing on the families that rely heavily on their credit scores. Enough ranting, I did attempt to contact XXXX but no luck and nothing came from disputing directly so I feel like i 'm running out of options. Im attaching some required documents per one of the govt sites i 've been to. thank you for taking the time to hear me go on.

Consumer complaint received 04/27/2017 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Mobile or digital wallet) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (WA).
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem

Complaint: PayPal was the start of an ongoing Identity theft! They allowed unauthorized transactions, while in the process of disputes, they allowed more! After calling every day for a MONT H (   XXXX   2015 ) an d hearing them tell me about how okay it will be and how I should n't worry, they FINALLY closed down my account after allowing {$5300.00} worth of fraudulent transactions on a frozen account. Then tried to steal that money from my account with  XXXX   XXXX . When they could only receive {$1000.00}, they locked my account solid while continuing to calm me on a daily over the phone. So here I am over   XXXX   in debt at  XXXX  forced to close my only means of an account, and PayPal tells me that I have to pay  XXXX  $ remaining balance on my PayPal!!! So I finally save enough for a lawyer to get it solved on to hear that the matter is closed because it 's been over 90 days. So I ca n't dispute PayPal 's fraudulent activity after 3 months but yet they sure can track every means of my money they can get their hands on to steal from me and keep my account LOCKED and NEGATIVE. After doing the math of the money they want + $ they stole from my bank + $ spent on a lawyer for no reason, PayPal 's multimillion dollar company lives up to its name by robbing the little people of almost {$6000.00}!!! AND THATS JUST ME.
