Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I was charged by XXXX for service and phones they did not provide me for almost two years. I finally switched to XXXX along with my original numbers and canceled XXXX after paying for nothing for years. Once switched to XXXX XXXX continued to charge me for phones and service I had with another company for months. Every time I called them to let them know I was n't a customer anymore they said a supervisor would call me immediately and never did. XXXX has tried to use a debt collector before to collect debts I do n't owe and they found it in favor of me. Now they are using a company that you ca n't understand the people, their phones crackle and have no service. I recorded our conversations because it was appalling. I told them I do not owe anything to XXXX and dispute the whole charge and they still tried to get me to pay over the phone. The company now that 's an absolute scam with the potential to effect my credit is Credence XXXX

Consumer complaint received 07-08-2015 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with MAS Financial Services, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I bought a XX/XX/XXXX Chev Colorado at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( aka XXXX ) in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I have called them, gone to see them and sent them numerous emails regarding the tags for the car, and to date have received nothing. Also, 2 months after I got the truck the engine 's gone bad. I have paid my pymt each month to the lender, but the dealer has given the 'too bad, so sad ' about the truck not working. The repairs of the engine are almost {$2000.00}, so the truck has sat parked in my driveway since late XXXX. They have been very unresponsive about the tags. So now Im supposed to pay for a truck for the next 5 years that only worked for 60 days after I bought it? I find this such an injustice and what burns me is that I 've had to constantly call them about the tags and the dealer 's last response to me was 'well at least you cant get in trouble cuz you cant drive the truck til its repaired anyway ' ... .really?! That just shows their complete lack of empathy for their customer! I 've been dealing with a jerk at their dealership named XXXX XXXX and another guy ( speaks with an XXXX accent -- he wouldnt tell me his name ). Their DMV rep told me back in XXXX that she 'd get the tags and correction of my address on registration taken care of in about 15 days ... .its been over a month without a reply from them. My issue is not with the lender, but with the dealership.

Consumer complaint received 12/21/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I recently obtained a copy of all 3 of my credit reports and noticed numerous unauthorized fraudulent accounts and two that should have been paid off. I disputed these accounts with each bureau and received very quick responses in less than two weeks saying they were either updated or remained. 

I do not believe they actually physically investigated them. I have recently resubmitted disputes informing them of my identity theft manually since it was not efficient electronically. 

I have also filed a complaint/report with XXXX XXXX County Sheriff ( Waiting on Report Number ) and the FTC Report Number XXXX. I submitted copies of social and id, police report, and FTC report along with dispute letter and notice of my identity theft. 

I 've also requested fraud alerts on all of my bureaus. 

I have attached the letters I sent each bureau along with proof of my identity ( social and id ), police report, and ftc report.

Consumer complaint received 03-03-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MD).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: When I was XXXX, I had to go on XXXX leave. I called Navient to tell them I had a XXXX and had to go without pay for 20 weeks. They told me they would put my account in forbearance until I could return to work after XX/XX/XXXX. When I called them months later they said my account was past due and I could again, apply for forbearance due to financial hardship and it would show that I was paid up to date. at that time, I set up for automatic withdraw as my sign in on their website never seemed to work. Fast forward a few months, I landed a new job and decided now is the time to buy a house. However, that 's when I found out that Navient reported my account as default on all XXXX small loans for 5 months causing so much damage to my credit that I can no longer buy a home. I wrote them a letter explaining this and they refused to help me. I 've called several times and they refused to help me. They have refused to let me speak to a student loan advocate as well. I also filed a complaint to the Omsbudman that was of no help because they did not seem to understand that I was told one thing and another thing happened. What really upsets me is that I 've never paid on my student loan until XX/XX/XXXX. I always go in forbearance due to the fact that I was a single working mom. When I went in forbearance all those years, my payment history is shown as paid. Again, I never paid on my student loan since I graduated in XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX! And not until this last time did they ruin my credit. I am now making enough money to pay my loans and buy a home for my family. I have no paperwork of these transactions because they do not provide me with any- EVER! It is recorded answers. I wrote a letter of good will practically begging them to investigate and stick to what they told me. They sent me a generic canned letter saying my payments were missed. Nothing was written about what they agreed to do. Please help me!

Consumer complaint received 09/14/2017 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 coerced into using my forebearance by a representative at the company the moment my first payment was due. I explained my income and that the payment was not affordable and they directed me towards forebearance as an option. Once my income increased, I began paying my loan, as to not continue to allow interest to accrue. Again, I was misinformed on payment options. Given a payment plan that would just increase their financial gains and not impact the actual balance of my loan at all. They futher declined to inform me that the payment amount that was given to me for the plan DOES NOT even cover the interest that accrues every month. I have been paying my loan for 4 years straight not missing a payment. The site says that I have paid -11 %. It should not be legal to even offer an amount that does not cover interest. I could afford to pay double my amount paid and had this information been communicated to me I would have done so. It would not have been comfortable to pay but sacrifices would have been made. After giving so much after four years it is completely devastating to look and see that your loan is never moving. I feel like NAVIENT should incur the cost of my interest the past four years and put my payment towards the actual loan. They were deceitful in their practices and even the site does not correctly portray my payment status. I did n't realize I was n't making an impact until I signed up for credit karma and was shown an overview of my loan and all of my past payments. The navient site needs to correctly display your payments and loan amount in a way that portrays what is actually happening. You are becoming negative in your loan by accepting forebearance or a payment that is lower than the interest. Their needs to be a sense of transparency in banking the same way it is placed upon other industries. Your interest paid per month should be displayed in comparison to the actual payment. I did not choose the payment amount. The bank maliciously gave me an amount too low to cover the interest rate in order to take advantage and make financial gains on students who are already facing unemployment or under-employed in this economy. At this point I was looking to purchase a house and expected my loan to be down to {$25000.00} and was shocked to realize it increased {$5000.00}. In all fairness, Navient should match the equivalent amount of all payments made since 2013 put directly towards my principal. They arbitrarily put a portion of my payment towards interest and the rest towards principal. Throughout the statement the amount constantly changes. Sometimes only putting XXXX dollars towards my principal or nothing towards the interest. Then there are random capital interest charges that were never explained. Please let me know if I have any documents that can be of assistance.

Consumer complaint received 01-07-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle lease) with TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (VA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I would like to file a formal complaint against Toyota Financials for mishandling consumer information and also for illegal business practices. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I applied to lease a XXXX Toyota XXXX XXXX at priority toyota of springfield. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the application was denied by toyota financial services ( Please see attached ). When I received the denial letter, I went to the dealership to return the vehicle. This happened the day after I received the letter. Dealership refused to accept the vehicle and threatened to tow the car at my expense. Dealer printed new temporary vehicle tags that was set to expire a month from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called the bank to see if I could make a payment on the vehicle since the next payment was due on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Toyota financials told me that they did not have account number so I could not make a payment on the car. They told me talk to the dealership. I went to dealership to return the car since there was no financing for the car. Dealership again refused to take the car back. This time the Manager XXXX XXXX told me that he will call the towing company himself to tow the vehicle at my expense. 

During this time from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, both priority toyota and toyota financials kept checking my credit reports. They checked the credit report at least XXXX times on different dates for the same application. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a call from toyota financials telling me that my account is past due and that I should pay {$610.00} by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX or they will take legal action. I paid the {$610.00} to toyota financials on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to avoid my credit being ruined. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, toyota financials reported my account as 30 days past due to the credit bureaus which resulted in a XXXX point drop to my credit scores. Please see attached files. 

I am appealing to the XXXX XXXX XXXX to look into this matter to see if anything can be done to help resolve this issue. 

Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 10-03-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MD).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: Was sent a letter almost a year ago, stating if I did n't start paying my loans or pay in full, that my paychecks would be deducted {$170.00} each pay period until balance was paid. Then after setting up a payment plan for {$15.00} a month, I was hassled my advisor everyday calling and leaving voicemails daily. Then they would send me something in the mail saying that my payment did n't go through or call me saying it did n't process and I would pay it again. Then suddenly they stopped my automatic payment plan and transferred over to a new collector, then said I owed XXXX XXXX monthly ( which was n't the contract ) then saying I was n't paying my amount when I was sending them payments. And keeps sending me " pass due '' bill statements. I was told that I would n't collect any more interest since it had gone to collections, I have yet to see any changes to the balance. It has been the same.
