Consumer complaint received 06/24/2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about my loan

Complaint: I have been attempting to adjust my payment plan with Navient due to economic issues and being unable to make the current payment amounts consistently without severe hardship. I have repeatedly spoken with Navient representatives about lowering the interest rate, extending the duration of the loan, having a deferment or forbearance, etc. though each time the Navient representative quotes a repayment plan with a higher monthly amount. 
I received a letter from Navient stating that if a payment is not made by XXXX XXXX, 2016 then I will default on the loan., and they will pursue civil litigation options. Navient has contacted me every 1 to 2 hours by automated phone calls since the XX/XX/XXXX ; have been calling my family stating that " I listed them as a reference '' when I did not, ; and they have attempted to obtain my employment information from my employer by faxing a request to verify my income/employment status. However, there is no legal judgment on the loan as of this date ( XXXX/XXXX/16 ), and I did NOT give them permission to contact ANY of my family members ( except for my spouse ) or contact my work to verify employment status.

Consumer complaint received 04/29/2015 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I received a mailing in XX/XX/XXXX, 2015 from Bank or America ( my mortgage holder ) stating I owed them approximately {$1500.00}. My mortgage bill for that month had given me XXXX options ( 1. interest only, 2. prinicipal + interest, 3. prinicipal + interest for 15 year payoff ). I chose the interest only payment and paid that amount in full at the beginning of the month. 

I do not understand how they can then ask for more money mid- month. 

In XXXX, I paid the amount that includes prinicpal and interest. 

I received a bill for this coming month 's payment ( XXXX, 2015 ). It states that I owe {$12000.00} for my payment. This amount includes principal + interest for XXXX ( {$5400.00} ), as well as {$930.00} for current period fees and charges AND {$5600.00} for overdue payments, fees and charges. 

The payment I made in XXXX ( {$4100.00} ) is being held separately as " unapplied funds ''. 

I have spoken to BofA on multiple occasions, had my loan " escalated '' XXXX different times. I 've also been told once that the billing mistake in XXXX was to be taken care of and that they would accept my interest only payment in XXXX as payment in full for that month. 

However, I have still been receiving collections calls and billing statements that do not show that the corrections have been implemented. 

The last time I spoke with someone from BofA, was the third time it was being " escalated '' since late XXXX. I was told I would be called back the following day with a resolution. I have not been called back since. That was over a week ago now. 

I have spoken to numerous different people at BofA and have yet to receive any resolution or explanation of what is going on.

Consumer complaint received 12/25/2016 about Mortgage (Reverse mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: XXXX XXXX, I am disputing the issue of my {$35000.00} as per the below federal disclosure laws. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( the " Dodd-Frank Act '' ), enacting numerous provisions intended to reform the mortgage lending industry with an eye towards consumer protection. Many of these provisions are contained within Title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act ( the " Mortgage Act '' or the " Act '' ) Subtitle E ( Mortgage Services ) of the Act reforms mortgage servicing practices addressed in TILA and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( 12 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., " RESPA '' ). The Act requires creditors in connection with a consumer credit transaction secured by a first lien on the consumer 's principal dwelling to establish an escrow or impound account in a federally insured depository institution for mandatory payments of taxes and insurances premiums. By regulation, the Board may exempt certain creditors from the requirement to establish an escrow or impound account. Such escrow accounts shall remain in existence for a minimum period of five ( 5 ) years. If the consumer waives the maintenance of such account in writing, the mortgage lender is required to provide a written disclosure advising on the consumer 's responsibilities and implications in the absence of any such account. The Act amends RESPA by adding new servicer prohibitions and increasing the penalty amounts for violation. A new TILA provision requires the servicer of a consumer credit transaction secured by the consumer 's principal dwelling to promptly credit payments to the consumer 's loan account, and to send accurate payoff balance information upon written request by the consumer. 

XXXX XXXX used the same pitch when he told me why I was to bring {$35000.00} to a clsoing in order to receive a loan that is used for converting home equity into liquidity, thus Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. I did n't apply for a mortgage refinance or a commercial loan, I applied for a Traditional Reverse Mortgage. Where 's my {$35000.00} that was escrowed?

Consumer complaint received 06/26/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX XXXX received a certified letter from me disputing the inaccuracy of a bankruptcy on my credit report. Not only is the information incorrect but is unverifiable and I need this information permanently deleted from my report for it is damaging my credit. I even sent a letter from the court to them saying the court system does not report to the credit bureaus which is what is listed on my credit report. They had 30 days from the time of my dispute to respond and delete this account but they failed to do either. Which in turn, they broke the law according to the FCRA.

Consumer complaint received 02-05-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with GREAT LAKES (CT).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: My additional loan payment was incorrectly applied despite my explicit instructions to allocate 100 % of my additional payment to the loan with the highest interest rate. I made an additional ( extra ) payment of {$180.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2016, which I specified be 100 % applied to loan token # XXXX. The amount applied to principal was only {$200.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I also made an additional payment of {$180.00} to that same loan ( # XXXX ) and the amount applied to principal was {$200.00}. 

As is typical for any loan, the payment amount applied to principal increases as the loan matures. This can be confirmed by referencing the amortization schedule for the loan. 

Please explain how I am making additional payments and the amount being applied to the principal is less than the month before.

Consumer complaint received 07-03-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with Alliance Data Card Services (FL).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I became past due on one of my accounts with Comenity. That is when the phone calls began occurring on my cell phone. It got to the point when they were trying to disguise their number and come up restricted. They never once left a message. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX, they called me at XXXX XXXX., XXXXXXXX XXXX. and then again at XXXX XXXX. I called them back the following day and spoke with XXXX. She told me that as the calls were autodialer/robocalls, there was NOTHING that they could do to control the frequency of the calls. I had called from a line at work. <P/>I just now received a robocall at my place of employment from them, when I never once gave them permission to use that number to reach me. These tactics are a form of harassment. There was dead air and then disconnect. Luckily I was able to retrieve the number and call back to find out that it was Comenity. <P/>Last year, I received an email from a class action suit that I was going to be receiving portions of this suit due to illegal activities 9f their Account Assure practices. Instead of mailing me the check, the put the balance of what was owed  to me towards a legally settled account that was closed a year prior. <P/>I definitely think that the FTC needs to seriously monitor this credit company and all their activities.

Consumer complaint received 09/14/2016 about Money transfers (Domestic (US) money transfer) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA).
Issue: Other transaction issues

Complaint: I have XXXX accounts at Citizens Bank NA. I received my social security direct deposit and immediately transferred it into my joint checking account using my Citizens mobile app. After transferring, I returned to my accounts and noticed that nothing had transferred into my joint account. Instead, after some research, I discovered that it had been transferred into the overdraft protection associated with my joint account even though I have a XXXX balance owed. I called the bank and informed them of this irregularity. I called to their attention that on the mobile app I used that that there is no facility for transferring funds into ODP. He informed me that this was a service error and the funds would probably be restored to my joint checking account the following day once the system determined that I had a XXXX ODP balance. He claimed he could not restore the funds himself. My name is XXXX XXXX and I typically keep a total balance across all Citizen accounts of {$100000.00} or more. I assume that Citizens has written an algorithm to unilaterally sweep transfers into its ODP and may or may not inform its customers of that.

Consumer complaint received 06/17/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Follow up on complaint XXXX. 
I received a call today Roundpoint regarding the extra payment I had made to them.The call was regarding the complaint that I had filed with CFPB. I have not heard back from them regarding numerous calls that I had made prior to filing a complaint. 
The representative informed me that they had received my complaint and were going to start an investigation. She asked me to submit a copy of the cashed check. She was oblivious to my prior communication with Roundpoint and the documentation that I had submitted with my CFPB complaint. A month later, I have not received a adequate response from Roundpoint and they claim they did not receive a payment when I have a copy of the cashed check from my bank. 
CFPB, thank you for your help and support. I am frustrated beyond my " boiling point ''. If my case can be used as an example to save others from issues with Roundpoint, please share my story with the community. 
thank you kindly, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 08/17/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (HI).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: This problem started with a XXXX timeshare purchased by my ex in 2005. He supposedly gave it to me as a gift so I was tricked into signing the contract. I subsequently found out it is a timeshare trick because his credit record was so bad he would n't qualify for a loan. As a result, XXXX put the whole thing under my name only without my knowledge. Because of XXXX I never got any documentation. XXXX apparently sent all correspondence to him. He vowed to bankrupt me and ruin my credit. Even though there is a court order stating he had to tell me if there was a XXXX issued he never did. This year a repo showed up on equifax from XXXX who apparently bought XXXX. They refused to acknowledge that. Ever received notice, and refused to honor the divorce decree showing it as a joint debt. After many calls I got the contract cancelled. However, They say I owe a balance and nothing went on his credit report. 1 ) is n't there any protection in XXXX situations? 2 XXXX how can you repo time? Does n't there have to be real property? 3 ) how can it show as a repo and a balance due on my credit report? Is n't it one or the other? 4 XXXX why is n't he being held responsible for the debt? 

This is keeping me from getting any loans 8 years after it occurred. They strong armed me into paying {$1400.00} to clear the repo from my credit report and after I sent the check they said it does n't guarantee they will remove the repo. 

Help me get free from my ex XXXX and XXXX!!!!
