Consumer complaint received 10/13/2017 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with Capital Accounts, LLC (MO).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: I recently pulled my credit report and reached out to both the credit bureau and Capital Accts. to dispute all accounts with this fraudulent company that has reported accounts. I 've asked for documentation to validate debt and they provided me with an out-of-date scanned image of something from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. They failed to provide me with an up-to-date copy of said debt. If such debt is owed, it was sold by the original creditor who did not inform me of a debt or ask my permission to sell any of my medical information. This is clearly a violation of my ( HIPPA RIGHTS ) by both the medical office and third party. I 've asked for the following from this company : a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information and for them to stop reporting to the credit bureau until the debt has been validated by me. I have not received any documentation from neither company to release any medical information about me or giving permission to sale any of my information to collect on a balance I 'm unable to verify with XXXX XXXX XXXX. In addition, because the original creditor sold my information, I am no longer responsible to pay due to " NO CONTRACT/CONTRACT IS CANCELLED. '' Also, I have not received any letters that I owed a debt to even dispute the debt from neither company. Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPPA ) to protect my privacy, medical and dental records from third parties. Capital Accts. has withheld information and refuse to provide me with what I asked in my written request to them and the credit bureau. This is currently affecting my credit as I am trying to purchase a home. 

In addition,. I 've recently tried to contact this business about the account to verify and have been unsuccessful. This account is 4 years old and neither XXXX XXXX care or said collection agency has reached out. This is a third-party with my personal information and if said account is valid, which again I ca n't prove because XXXX XXXX care has failed to reach back out to validate the debt. I have asked that they please stop reporting to the credit bureau and remove account due to " NO CONTRACT/CONTRACT CANCELLED. '' Amount Owed : {$170.00}, which includes {$50.00} in accrued interest ( According to the collection agency ).

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2015 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (MA).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I financed a used XXXX XXXX XXXX through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The cost of the car after negotiation was {$25000.00} ; I put down {$10000.00} which brought the car down to {$XXXX XXXX. The payments of {$340.00} for 48 months began of XXXX XXXX, XXXX with the final payment due on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. After receiving a solicitation from Pentagon Federal Credit Union for a refinance rate of 1.99 % I decided to take the promotion. I contacted PenFed and was told that they would payoff the loan for {$6900.00}. I received the check from of {$6900.00} from PenFed and endorsed it over to a loan officer at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Communication with a loan officer at PenFed was that the the new loan would be about {$200.00} maybe a little more for 24 months. I agreed to this loan amount and faxed an aceptance back. I never received any documents but received a coupon book and through an oversight on my part began making payments. It was not until I completed making 36 monthly payments that I realized I had been scammed. I could not locate any loan agreements and promptly notified PenFed. This is where my experience began with PenFed and my letter of XXXX XXXX, XXXX supports my actions. Instead of PenFed taking responsibility for this practice It escalated with fraudulent documents, checks and unbelievable deception. I have attached all communication, from me to PenFed and from PenFed to me. PenFed claims that I financed {$15000.00} with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I then turned around and financed {$16000.00} with PenFed for the same XXXX XXXX XXXX. PenFed claims that a check for {$9200.00} was issued to me and placed into a share draft account. PenFed then states that the {$9200.00} was used to payoff the mercedes. PenFed then claims that XXXX and XXXX XXXX was issued a check for {$11000.00} and produced a promissory note to go with the others that were created. PenFed claims that the {$11000.00} was used to payoff a XXXX XXXX. This XXXX belongs to XXXX XXXX and was paid off in XXXX. PenFed trips themselves up by claiming that the {$11000.00} and the {$9200.00} XXXX went to payoff the XXXX XXXX. The payoff notices from XXXX of XXXX XXXX, XXXX and follow-up on XXXX XXXX, XXXX proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that XXXX and XXXX XXXX have been defrauded and scammed. In my complaint of XXXX we did not have these documents. These documents from XXXX Bank clearly refutes any claim that PenFed could possibly make. Since my complaint XXXX others have been found who have had similar experiences. None of their experiences are as blatant as the experience of XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I will give PenFed the opportunity to satisfy my damages in an expedited time-frame. All supporting documents have been attached. Thank you. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA).

Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint: Navient has sent me a letter on XXXX, XXXX, 2016 stating that they were researching my account based on the fact that my loans were taken out of deferment while I am still in school.

Consumer complaint received 04-10-2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: On XX/XX/2017 a check was written from my Business Checking account, unbeknownst to me. The check was a part of the starter checks. It was signed by a person who I do not know but that person just signed his name on the check - completely different from my signature. The check was allowed to be processed and funds were debited from my account, in the amount of {$900.00}. I filed a claim with Chase and, after about 2 months of investigation, they denied my claim stating that I failed to take proper care of my checks. I explained to them that the checks are kept in a locked drawer and that I am not sure how this person got a hold of it. What about the fact, that the signature does not match my signature? According to Chase, that does not mean much since, in their opinion, I did not take care of the check. I also explained to them that I did not file a police complaint for stolen check since I expected Chase to take care of it. I talked to their Senior Claims representative on a couple of different occasions but they came back with the same conclusion. My Banking contact at the branch office talked to Chase Claims Department and he was appalled to here what they had to say. He feels that this was a clear case that Chase should have ruled in my favor and pursued the person who wrote the check. Please note that I have recently moved, hence the address on this complaint is different from the address on Chase 's letter. 
The fundamental issue here is - the signature card has no significance. Banks do not check for your signature on checks and they take no responsibility if the signatures do not match. I am not sure that all customers are aware of this.

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I XXXX XXXX hereby files a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) as my only source to help me with a deceptive collection practice ( s ) from student debt collectors. As your agency may already be aware, the XXXX recently terminated their contract with Navient, as well as other agencies that were supposed to be collecting on nationalized debts, that is debts truly owned by the XXXX. However, the greed that exist within the debt collection community caught up with Navient, and many others when the XXXX suspended contracts for deceptive and illegal collection practices. Navient was never part of any student loan origination. They now claim that any student loans I owe are private, even though previously they claimed they were collecting on behalf of the XXXX. Now they claim that they can not defer payments, consolidate debts, or do anything other than collect on debts they have shown no proof of ownership. I have no clue as to what company is the trustful owner of any procured student loan debts under XXXX XXXX. Even though I never took part in any procurement of a debt from Navient, they ended up being the collection agency for a student debt incurring excessive interest and additional fees. I have requested through complaint to the company directly information as to what company owns this debt. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act I am entitled to this information. I believe that if a debt does exist, it is part of a securitized trust that has been fragmented into small ownership by multiple national banks. There is no proof of ownership, no proof of any assigned power of attorney or assignment of responsibility for Navient. So it looks like my credit will be dinged and damaged by this collection agency that has no stake in the debts they claim they have a right to collect on. I believe that I have a right to sue for damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Navient has no right to collect on any debts without proper validation. What this agency is doing is trying to hold my credit hostage as a means to use deceptive and illegal collection practices against an American citizen. Navient must cease and desist from any actions against me on any student loan collections, and delete any references to a collection on all pertinent credit reporting agencies, and purge my file information permanently. Navient must comply with the FDCPA and show proof ow ownership or the connection to collect for any other entity by true copy originality.

Consumer complaint received 12-04-2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, I called Navient with the hopes of understanding my loan. I am trying to understand my current terms, how much I need to pay each month to reduce the length of my total pay off terms, how much I have currently paid etc. 

I also wanted to get an extension of my current payment plan. I was told by the representative that if I paid another payment of my loan that I would be current. He told me if I made the payment by the end of the month, that it would n't affect my payment. So I scheduled the payment by the end of the month with him and the funds came out of my account b y the end of the month. He did inform me that if I paid by the end of the month that I would be current. I then enrolled in an auto debit program for the next 6 months. I was happy to have had some resolution when I got off the phone. I go and check my credit today, and I saw that my score dropped 17 points because I was given terrible information. 
If the representative would have told me that you need to pay your loan by the XXXX of the month and not the XXXX, my credit report would n't have been affected. 
Loan companies are to help borrowers understand their terms and use accurate advice. It 's unfortunate that my credit is now being affected because I was trying to repay my loans.

Consumer complaint received 09/27/2016 about Payday loan () with SFS, Inc (MD).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: I had XXXX loans with One Click Cash ( XXXX in XXXX 2016 and XXXX in XXXX 2016 ) in which the company did not make me aware, either orally or in the loan documents, that they process payments internationally and that my bank may charge me international transaction fees. After reviewing my account recently and found XXXX international transaction fee charge, I further reviewed my account and found several of these fees going back to XXXX 2016. I have now incurred almost {$50.00} of these charges. At this point, I would like One Click Cash to refund me those international transaction fees totaling the amount of {$49.00}. In support of my contention, attached are the bank transaction fees ( as highlighted ) that I 'm requesting to get a refund for, the loan documents for both the XXXX 2016 and XXXX 2016 loans. I tried getting these fees refunded by my bank but bank policies and agreements do not allow them to do that due to the fact that the payments were processed internationally by One Click Cash. I also called One Click Cash to get them to refund these fees but they refused. Nothing in the loan agreements state that they process payments internationally and I believe that they violated the agreement which makes me entitled to these refunds.
