Consumer complaint received 04/29/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (MI).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I bought my first home in XXXX when I was XXXX years old. I needed to have XXXX loans on it to purchase it and I really wanted it. I do n't know the reasons why but I had XXXX conventional loan at XXXX 30yr at 7.25 % and a XXXX ballon loan XXXX 15yr at 8 %. After XXXX yrs I refinanced my XXXX loan reasonably. But nobody seems to want to touch the XXXX loan or wo n't touch my XXXX loan. It seams unreasonable for the lending company 's to have a policy that would prohibit the loan from being refinanced.

Consumer complaint received 10/22/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with OLD NATIONAL BANK (IN).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I have been with XXXX XXXX XXXX for many years and in XXXX, 2015 they were bought out by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Many things have changed since that time in the way they do business. My bank account is tied to my XXXX account which I use a great deal for small purchases ( ie : {$2.00}, XXXX etc ). On XXXX XXXX, 2015 my online banking showed XXXX XXXX charges coming in that day totaling {$630.00} so I transferred {$1000.00} over to the account more than enough to cover these charges so there would not be any overdraft fees. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I checked my online banking only to see that I had been charged {$260.00} for XXXX overdraft fees. Apparently a check for {$550.00} came in after hours of which I had no knowledge of and they paid that before the XXXX XXXX charges that were clearly showing during the day business hours. On XXXX XXXX I went into the branch and spoke with the XXXX regarding this incident. He informed me that the bank sets people up to fail by paying highest to lowest incoming items. He also informed me that this bank currently has a lawsuit going on against them for this type of behavior. He further more informed me that several other large banks around this area have already been challenged with this very practice and been forced to change the way they do this. He told me that XXXX XXXX would not change it unless the government forced them to because it is such a large money maker for the bank. If they would have use chronological time instead of highest to lowest as an honest way of calculating overdraft charges, I would have been charge only {$38.00} instead of {$260.00} that day. I also feel that charging a {$38.00} overdraft fee for a XXXX or even a {$10.00} charge is quite over the line. I have attached copies of my online banking showing this incident. This is not the first time this has occurred for me but I am a senior cistizen livng on a fixed income and feel that I am being taken advantage of. I appreciate any help that you can assist me with in this matter.

Consumer complaint received 01/21/2017 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: XX/XX/XXXX, shortly after leaving XXXX with {$140000.00} in student loans, I entered the XXXX and requested my Federal and eligible loans be placed in deferment. The request was denied without explanation. Instead, the loans were placed in forbearment with interest accruing and CAPITALIZING. XX/XX/XXXX, I entered an XXXX and again applied for deferment. Again, XXXX XXXX rejected my request, even though ALL other XXXX at the same time received a deferment. Even my base commanding officer went through all the proper channels to enforce the deferment as he had never seen a rejection in 18 years of running XXXX and XXXX. These rejections took my student loans from {$140000.00} to more than {$210000.00} in debt, mostly from interest accruing and capitalizing. 

Additionally, my credit score was destroyed, going from a XXXX my entire life to less than XXXX at one point ( XX/XX/XXXX ), causing me to be ineligible for even a basic car loan. It was horrific. 

When it came time to buy an XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, my credit was so bad it almost did n't happen. However, I found a bank willing to loan me money, but at 9 % rather than the average at that time of 6 %. 

I have aggressively paid down loans with {$10000.00} still remaining. 

The damage, though, was prolific. I have paid higher interest rates on car and home loans ( 0.5 - 2 % ) over the last several years, costing me tens of thousands of dollars. More than {$100000.00} in added fees, added interest and destruction of my credit. It has taken me more than 10 years to restore my good credit and my life. 

If ever there was a poster child for malicious denial of deferments by a corporation with power, it is me. If ever there was an example of the horrendous actions and crimes committed against a good man, a XXXX of children and adults, this is it. 

It is my opinion I am due restoration. Thank you for prosecuting this.

Consumer complaint received 02/16/2017 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NY).
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint: I currently have a credit card with Citibank and on it I have a balance transfer and other purchases aside from that. I was under the assumption that the balances shown on the statements were my full balances. I tried to pay my bill so I would not have interest on the other purchases by paying over that amount. However, the next month there was still a balance in other purchases. Looking into the fine print revealed to me that these numbers were not actually my full balances but daily average balances. Therefore, I did not know what each balance was until I actually got in contact with Citibank. I find this to be a very deceptive way of communicating what is owed on an account, since you actually have to reach out to the company month-by-month in order to get your full balance. I had made contact with Citibank but the CSRs were not able to bring my complaint to where it needed to go in order to facilitate a change in policy.

Consumer complaint received 09-02-2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I set up auto-payment for my Chase XXXX card and was told it was set up correctly. Nearly 2 months later, I started receiving calls from Chase tell me there was something wrong with my account. When I logged in, I saw that my payment was overdue, and therefore I was incurring interest charges. In addition, there was a returned-payment transaction that had zero details. I called Chase to ask why I received zero notifications or emails that an auto-payment failed, they said : " you have to log in to see your notification ''. I then told the rep that there was no notification in my account, he started giving me a really long roundabout. This is an incredibly shady and predatory business practice to allow customers ' payments fail, give them no notice, so that Chase can passively charge interest income.

Consumer complaint received 03/30/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Genesis Lending (NC).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: In XXXX of 2015, I set up a XXXX month forbearance with Genesis Lending in which they would deduct {$40.00} every month for XXXX months. I received a letter stating what was set up over phone and another statement stating that it was going to deduct on a particular date as I had set up in XXXX and the payment was deducted accordingly. My father, who is a co-signer on this loan received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 stating that this account is past due and payment was owed immediately. I called Genesis Lending and was told that my forbearance was processed incorrectly and that the last associate I spoke with was wrong in the terms of repayment that they offered me. But because this was their mistake, he offered to fix this for me and to put a new plan of forbearance in for processing that would be {$40.00} for 6 months, {$80.00} for the next 6 months and then {$160.00} for the following 6 months. When asked why I had not been advised as to this processing issue he stated that a representative had called me on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and was unable to leave a voice mail. I never received a call from Genesis Lending. When I asked why I had not been notified in writing he responded with " I do n't know ''. I got no answers, but just an offer to change my forbearance plan to something I did n't originally agree with. This company has not learned its lesson and is BAD business. 

I attended XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA from XXXX

Consumer complaint received 12/31/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: Navient has reported SEVEN of my student loans as previously delinquent. This was recently learned when speaking to my lender about trying to obtain a mortgage. The student loans in question were wrongfully taken out of deferment and Navient will not correct the issue and remove the delinquent remarks on my credit report. I have tried speaking with them as well as disputing the information via the credit reporting agencies. I have been enrolled at XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and am not anticipated to graduate until late XX/XX/XXXX, mid XX/XX/XXXX. The only remedy Navient has done is place the delinquent accounts in a current status. 

2 of them opened XX/XX/XXXX, with 4 missed payments, XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payments, XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payment, and 3 in XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payments. 

As a result of their inconsistency and unwillingness to assist an XXXX XXXX veteran, my credit score has  suffered immensely and my ability to get a home loan is now dependent on whether or not they will remedy their previous error.

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: Equifax is not properly investigating a matter with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have a XXXX balance with XXXX and XXXX is still saying I owe on this account and have a chargeoff which is not true. The account balance saying owed approximately {$17000.00}. Equifax needs to send a representative to manually check the records of XXXX so that it can be reflected on my credit report that I have a XXXX balance. XXXX is lying about this account so Equifax needs to properly investigate and this account needs be updated to a XXXX balance immediately.
