Consumer complaint received 03/23/2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I first called before my loans were due to be paid. I was seeking information about my repayment options knowing that my payment would likely be more than I could afford. I was told the only way to discuss repayment options is to let my loans be late on the first payment. I verified verbally what the representative was saying to ensure I was not misunderstanding. I then called back after my payment was late and was told that the only option I would have is forbearance. When I asked how that worked I was told I would pay {$150.00} and then I would be in forbearance for 12 months which would allow me time to save for my payments once they started again. I called back to make the {$150.00} payment in XXXX and was told I needed to not pay the loan that my co-signer is on with me so that it could be included in the forbearance. I asked if I did n't pay the loan with my co-signer on it if they would then be contacting him. They advised they would not. Th4ey contacted him anyways. I then called today to do forbearance and was told that it will only bring my account currant and that I am expected to make my full payment amount in XXXX. The only other option I was provided was that I could extend my loan from 15 to 30 years and pay {$200.00} less a month. My current payment amount for my private loans is over {$1300.00} a month so {$200.00} less was n't going to help much and it would extend my loan to two times as long and they would get two times the interest. Every time I call I get a different answer and no one can explain why.

Consumer complaint received 03/23/2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with FREEDOM MORTGAGE COMPANY (WI).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: My mortgage was sold to Freedom Mortgage company. In the course of less than 6 months, Freedom Mortgage company has repeatedly mismanaged my escrow account which has lead to 1 ) a shortage in my escrow account to cover home property taxes 2 ) an inaccurate escrow evaluation on XX/XX/XXXX in spite of accurate state tax information that is available online and that I also provided via fax on XX/XX/XXXX, and 3 ) refusal to correct the inaccurate escrow evaluation in a timely manner and communicate changes to me. 
I have made multiple phone calls to Customer Service both before and after requesting an escrow evaluation be completed on XX/XX/XXXX. During that call, I was told I had to provide my property tax information, which I did on XX/XX/XXXX and received an email stating that it may take up to 30 days to address my questions. No correspondence was received within that timeframe. I called Customer Service again on XX/XX/XXXX and requested an escalation of my request. I was told that I would receive an updated escrow analysis by early XX/XX/XXXX, which would be in effect for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my account online to pay the mortgage due by XX/XX/XXXX and found an amount due that was greater than the amount on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. I made a call to Customer Service, who told me that there was an escrow analysis completed on XX/XX/XXXX and that the payment would be in effect for XX/XX/XXXX. I pointed out to her that this was in direct conflict with what I was told when I called on XX/XX/XXXX, and that no updated document was posted online nor mailed to me. 
This company has failed repeatedly to handle my escrow account appropriately or communicate changes. Their incompetence has caused me to spend multiple hours on the phone with Customer Service while my escrow account continues to be under-funded and mismanaged. How can I as a consumer request a change to my mortgage lender? I would never, ever, choose this company for any service.

Consumer complaint received 09/26/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I received this certified foreclosure notice last weekend pushed under my door and being notified that the foreclosure will take place the end of this month. As you can see, the foreclosure notice was dated XXXX XXXX and yet I found it under my door ( partially opened ) on XXXX. I did not sign for this certified mail and XXXX Bank and Wells Fargo did not let me explore ALL the loss mitigation options. I had suffered financial hardships including my sick mother who finally succumbed to a XXXX XXXX years ago and then my wife who had XXXX XXXX and that XXXX went into XXXX. Despite my efforts to try catching up for the late payments, Wells Fargo asked me over the telephone in XXXX 2015 to stop making payments until I pay up all the overdue payments. I asked the staff who told me to put the request in writing but never did. Wells Fargo staff would give you a run-around and blame everything on the investor, the XXXX Bank.

Consumer complaint received 01/28/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I have been affected by the recent allegations against Navient regarding my loans as well. My loans were originally with another creditor and transferred to Navient. As early as 2007 I have fallen under all poverty income guidelines for all government agencies and/or have attended school at various places. Instead of offering deferments, or offering with income driven repayment plans, I too have been offered economic hardship deferments, where my interest rates have continued to soar. They would capitalize interest and let it build.I am now paying monthly out of pocket to an accredited online learning institution because I can not afford otherwise to attend school. I can not afford to pay the payments each month requested while not in the IDR plan. They have request XXXX per month out of my XXXX income which supports XXXX people in my household. I also work for XXXX for over 15 years and this was never asked of me and loan forgiveness ever discussed either. I feel this is unfair and I will have to pay thousands in interest that could have been avoided.

Consumer complaint received 01-02-2018 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint: LoanCare took a double payment for my mortgage back in XX/XX/XXXX. They then lost the payment and reported me late in XX/XX/XXXX. I opened an investigation and results were inconclusive and left me showing a late payment ever since. I have since resolved the matter on my own, to my own satisfaction, by applying for a modification to being the account current and make the payments more affordable. 

XXXX XXXX, the person handling the matter through loancare agreed to remove all delinquent payments from my credit report. Most were removed, but not all.

Consumer complaint received 02-02-2017 about Prepaid card (General purpose card) with U.S. BANCORP (TX).
Issue: Managing, opening, or closing account

Complaint: I was issued XXXX prepaid " Reward Cards '' from ELAN Financial Services / U.S. Bank for opening a couple of credit cards for clients while working for XXXX XXXX. 

I received XXXX cards in the mail in XXXX XXXX. Card XXXX was supposed to be pre-loaded with {$20.00}. Card XXXX was supposed to be pre-loaded with {$40.00}. I have never received this {$60.00} in full. 

When the cards arrived, neither of them had the correct balance that I was told they would have. The card with {$20.00} was reduced down to {$0.00} due to " inactivity fees '' before the card was ever received or activated because it had been allegedly funded back in XXXX of XXXX. The card with {$40.00} was reduced down to {$30.00} due to " monthly service fees '' before the card was ever received or activated because it had allegedly been funded back in XXXX of XXXX. 

The phone operators I called to request assistance were of no help trying to explain why the cards were assessed fees before they were received or activated, and informed me that the fee schedule ( 13 months of no activity ) begins when the card is funded, not when the card is received or activated. So if they send a card that 's already drained by fees, somehow this is my fault and I take the penalty for it. 

I activated the card with {$30.00} on it and attempted to make multiple purchases with the card. Despite activation, the card was declined at XXXX XXXX with a point of sale transaction, at a gas station, and with an online purchase on XXXX. When I contacted the company, they could give me no explanation for why the point of sale transactions were declined, but informed me that the online transaction was declined because activating the card was not enough -- I had to go online to a website and register the card as well. Despite multiple previous calls, no one bothered to explain this process to me at any point. 

Despite four attempts to use the card in XXXX, the card was still assessed a {$2.00} " monthly inactivity fee. '' When I call in to check a balance, the call drops due to an error in their system, and when you call in again, you get warned that they are going to assess a {$0.00} fee because you 're calling back a second time. When you call in to customer service to figure out why the card keeps on declining AFTER you activated it, not only do they not give you a straight answer until the THIRD call, but they assess you an a {$1.00} fee to give you incorrect information. 

These issues are beyond misleading and deceptive. The fee structure is ridiculously complex and hits you for everything you do to try to use the card, and the fact that they take money from you before you 've even received the cards is outright theft.

Consumer complaint received 05-01-2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (KY).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: cfpb, Portfolio Recovery Associates have been on my credit report for quite some time now reporting an alleged debt of {$650.00}. I have sent them debt validation letters several times requesting " original account-level documentation '' and it went unanswered. Completely ignoring my request as to the validity of this debt. 

Portfolio Recovery Associates is also reporting to the XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus as " Late '' and also protruding themselves as a " Factoring Account Company '' rather than a Collection Agency in their true name. " Factoring Companies '' are companies that buy corporate accounts receivables that are not past due. I XXXX XXXX is not a business and did not factor any receivables as I have no receivables and no relationship with this business. Portfolio Recovery Associates are calling themselves a factoring company and not a Collection Agency, giving themselves automatic rights to report a collection as a revolving credit card account thus allowing them to report late payments and report the account as open rather that closed.
