Consumer complaint received 11/29/2017 about Debt collection (Private student loan debt) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (TX).
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Complaint: Navient stopped my auto debit for my private student loans without notifying me which made my loans go past due and they demanded the payment in full. I tried numerous times to work out a payment with them. Navient called my mother XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX and told her about the debt I owed, how much the debt was and asked her to help pay. My mother has no association with my loan. Navient then called my husband who is also not tied to my loan and gave him a settlement offer amount and sent him an email with a settlement to his personal email asking him to ask his father for the money to pay the private student loan. I have the emails sent from the Navient collector to my husband with all my information. Navient called my husband again and told him the settlement offer was password protected and gave him the password of XXXX to open the secure message. Navient did not have my permission to contact anyone other than me and share my personal debt information. I live in the state of Texas. Navient told me they will garnish my wages for my private loans, freeze my bank accounts, and place liens on my property, which I do n't own. The person I am speaking to at Navient calls herself XXXX XXXX and her number is XXXX and her supervisor that sent my husband the " secure '' email is XXXX XXXX with an email address of XXXXXXXXXXXX. Navient also called my mother and father inlaw giving them information about my debt. Navient leaves personal information on my voice mail detailing private information. They also left this information on my inlaws voice mail. Their collection practices are illegal and threatening. They have told me that I only have two days to pay or they will sue me. My account went for almost two full years in good standing with auto drafts, to default with hardly any notice.

Consumer complaint received 08/22/2015 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I recently pulled my annual credit reports and I noticed that an account ( XXXX 's XXXX ) is listed as an adverse account because of XX/XX/XXXX late payments. The late payments are for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with the remaining payments being paid in full starting XX/XX/XXXX. I believe this is quite disingenuous for TransUnion to claim that this account is " adverse '' when it 's been paid in full for over the last XXXX years. I know this has had a negative impact on my score and believe this should be corrected immediately.

Consumer complaint received 08/27/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (AZ).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: A month ago we were vacationing in CA and purchased items at Macy 's in XXXX XXXX ; the sales clerk talked us into getting a credit card and said we 'd get a discount. We never got a bill and started getting calls a week ago that our bill was overdue ; we got another call yesterday and another one today. Each time I explained that we never got a bill and I do n't conduct that type business over the phone because of all the scams that circulate. Each time I asked them to send me a bill and they said they would. Today I reiterated that to the person on the phone, and he said then that the records showed that they had called yesterday, that they would send me a bill, but if I wanted to stop the phone calls I would have to pay him now. I said I would not pay unless I received a bill. The man I spoke to yesterday said the bill was being sent and that I did n't have to pay until I got the bill and would incur no interest charges. The man who called today said the phone calls would continue unless I paid him immediately even though I had n't received the bill. This appears to be harassment to collect a bill for which I have not received a bill statement, and I have not received the credit card.

Consumer complaint received 11-06-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (LA).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint: After an online application, I received correspondence from Bank of America stating possible approval of a business credit card for our non-profit corporation [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX if we secured it with a Bank of America Certificate of Deposit. I spoke with XXXX XXXX, a BofA small business specialist, and mailed checks to open a {$1500.00} CD with the bank. Additionally, I signed and returned [ by delivery confirmation XXXX all documents as directed in the correspondence I received from the bank. 

After not receiving the card in a reasonable amount of time, I called and attempted to speak to someone within the bank to check on the status of the promised credit card, secured by our Certificate of Deposit with Bank of America. After being placed on hold for up to 45 minutes one agent informed me that they had not received all required documents XXXX which were sent with delivery confirmation!!?? ] ; and that after we received the card it would require payment of balance in full at the end of each month. 

We feel very uncomfortable and do not desire to continue in any banking relationship with Bank of America. We feel that we were misled and given incomplete information. We feel that after depositing our monies, we 're not given the respect of attention to our concerns and return of our calls. I 've left at least three voice mails with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without the courtesy of a return call all day. One female agent I spoke with today was very insensitive and condescending in her conversation with me. I 'm a XXXX years old semi-retired XXXX. I think all people deserve common respect.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: I am not sure what category this falls under but a company called Professional Inc. located in XXXX Illinois sued me for a debt that I owe to a bank located in town called XXXX XXXX XXXX. The debt is almost paid off however I noticed that they are taking XXXX dollars out of my paycheck every two weeks and it does n't seem to be adding up because they should be paid off by now. For instance, the last XXXX times I called they said they only received about 70 dollars and then XXXX dollars but my employer is garnishing my wages for XXXX every two weeks so where is the other amount going to? I know that your employer can charge you a fee for your wages being garnished but I have spoke with my employer and they do not charge a fee for that.

Consumer complaint received 08/19/2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with STERLING JEWELERS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: My husband purchased a ring for me on XXXX XXXX for my birthday. After a few days of thinking about it we XXXX decided we did not care for the band very much. So we went into Jared again on XXXX XXXX, we looked and found another band and paid more money for the different ring. They said they were able to exchange the whole item no problem. Then on XXXX XXXX, I went into the store and explained to them that we no longer wanted the ring we purchased and would like to return the item and keep our line of credit but return the item. The employee when we made our first exchange never explained to us that the diamond had 30 days to return and we assumed that that was from XXXX XXXX and they said it was from XXXX XXXX so we had passed the date by 2 days. We were never told that information until XXXX XXXX when we decided to wait on the purchase and buy at a later time. We contacted customer service on XXXX XXXX and explained the situation and when they pulled up the transactions not all the number even added up to her. They were off and she was even confused and had to ask another worker to help her figure out the situation. After speaking with her she said there was nothing they could do to help us return the entire purchase. So we decided to call the jewelry store today and say you know what go ahead and give us our ring and diamond back we will just keep it and forget we ever returned it. The employee said no problem and said it would be ready in a few hours. All of a sudden my husband receives a phone call that now we need to pay Jared another {$200.00} in order to pick up the ring again. Which makes no sense at all if no changes were made to it at all we are just picking up our merchandise again. We feel so taken advantage of by this jewelry store they have not explained things correctly several times and all their number from the transactions see To be off and now they are asking for more and more money which makes no sense.

Consumer complaint received 03/13/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (CO).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I tried to transfer my school loans from Navient to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX because I was making payments but was unable to get out of just paying interest so it felt like I was n't getting anywhere with the progress of paying off my loans. When I switched over to XXXX I was able to get out of paying off my just my interest and started seeing progress to paying off the principle as well after a couple months. I made payments to XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. Then, I went to make a payment but was told that I did not owe anything and that my loan was paid off. There was no communication to me about what was happening with my school loans. All of a sudden, I started to receive all the money I paid to XXXX for the year back in my bank account. I call both XXXX & Navient to find out an answer to what was going on with the loans but neither institution was able to provide any information. I was told by both institutions that I did not owe either company any money in XX/XX/XXXX. I reached out to Federal Student aid in XX/XX/XXXX to see if they could locate my loans or see what happened but they were not able to find anything out. So after searching for answers and coming up with none, I decided to put my money in a savings account because I knew it would come back one day. Well, that happened in XX/XX/XXXX when Navient contacted me via email about paying off my debt. However, when Navient contacted me I was starting my XXXX and was unable to devote any time or money to the situation. When I looked into the amount of my loan it had increased from {$51000.00} to {$58.00} or $ XXXX in interest. I am looking to gain an explanation to happened to my loans, why I received the payments I made back and why I was not able to stay with XXXX. Also, I do not think its fair that I was charged interest on my loans and I want any interests charges removed from the time I switched to XXXX to now.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I 've been dealing with this situation since XXXX. I 've negoiated and paid them, only to have them contrive fraudulent payment history.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, my debit card was stolen and the person that stole my card used my account to deposit stolen checks ; leaving my account in overdraft. I spoke with my bank about the problem and they connected me with the fraudulent department. They closed my account and opened up a brand new one for me. About XX/XX/XXXX I had trouble getting access to my account. I spoke with the bank and they told me to speak with the fraudulent department again saying that my account is on no check status. Money was able go into my account, but I wasn't able to take any money out. The attorney on my case, XXXX XXXX, told me that until I pay back those overdraft fees of $ 950+, I will regain access to my account. I called my own personal attorney and filed a police report. They wrote a letter regarding my situation, to the bank, about fixing my account and nothing has been done since then. It is XX/XX/XXXX and I haven't been able to gain access to my account since XX/XX/XXXX. I have bills that are way over due now because I still don't have access to my account. My attorney gave me advice and told me to file a complaint with the Department of Banking so that they can help resolve the situation. The bank knew that there was fraud on my account but they're having me pay back those fraudulent fees, which I don't understand.

Consumer complaint received 07/28/2017 about Debt collection (Payday loan debt) with Real Time Resolutions, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I took out a payday loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2600.00} which I was unable to repay and XXXX XXXX XXXX enlisted the services of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX ) to collect on their behalf. I settled with XXXX for {$1600.00} and made 16 payments of {$100.00} ( totaling {$1600.00} ). Per XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX only sent them {$260.00} as payment on my loan and thus XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the loan to Real Time Resolutions, who began collection efforts. I sent Real Time Resolutions ( RTR ) a fax containing my bank statements documenting my 16 payments to XXXX, but they have stated that they can not prove that the payments to XXXX are linked to the XXXX XXXX XXXX account. When I called XXXX to ask for proof of my payments, a switchboard operator informed me that XXXX is no longer in business and thus can not provide me with documentation. RTR has put the account on my credit report as a collection for {$3000.00}, which is false, as I made the settlement payments as agreed to XXXX. RTR has refused to remove the account from my report.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (NY).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: In the wake of the Equifax breach I attempted to get my Equifax credit report and freeze my credit on Equifax. In both cases I received a time-out error message from the Equifax website. I tried the process on 3 different browsers to no success. I understand Equifax 's systems are under duress during this time but it is unacceptable that I can not protect myself due to their incompetence. Furthermore, the fact that they had to be pressured to waive their fee for credit freezes adds insult to injury
