Consumer complaint received 01/31/2018 about Debt collection (Private student loan debt) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NC).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: We had a conference call with XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a personal student loan debt that appeared on one of our credit reports. The conference call was initiated to resolve the status on the credit report for our mortgage. During the call, the agent informed that a settlement was offered but, it was an old offer & would need to be renewed. We have never received ANY written documentation about the debt by this company or any other third party collection agencies that it may have passed through. No payment plan or other payment options were discussed during the call. We were informed it was going to be closed out & wrote off by them. The information was sent to our financial officer who confirmed it showed a XXXX balance & was closed. However, the report sent to our underwriter showed it had been sent to collections for the entire balance. This company was deceptive, misleading and vague in regards to their intentions. Now our mortgage is in jeopardy because of their lack of due process.

Consumer complaint received 05-11-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (MI).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Ditech took over my mortgage, and last month along with my house payment I also had a bill for an escrow shortage.

They applied it to my principal and REFUSE to allocate it where it belongs and send me a new bill for my house payment with the correct adjusted amount.

Consumer complaint received 11-05-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (WA).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: I have had the Citi Bank XXXX XXXX for over 10 years. I received an email in XXXX that the card was being converted to an XXXX XXXX as Citibank lost the contract with XXXX. I already have the XXXX XXXX XXXX and did not need two. I called customer service on XXXX asking if I can convert it to another CitiCard which I was assured I could. I was told even though I knew what card I wanted I had to review the website to make sure I knew what card I wanted and then could call back to covert it. I called back the next day and was advised by a CSR and manager that the card can not be converted due to the fact it is a XXXX card. 

I expressed frustration that I would loose 10 years of card history on my credit report impacting my score if this happened and they showed no concern or provided information on this. I asked why two reps the previous day ( one for general cards and one with the XXXX  division who I had a question about that card benefits in which only a XXXX rep can answer with Citi ). 

Citi shows no concern for customers when they provide inaccurate financial information that now will result in a monetary loss to me due to a credit score change. Citi simply does not care about the communities they serve or providing accurate financial information.

Consumer complaint received 11-03-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (MI).
Issue: Other

Complaint: My husband was recently approved for a new Citibank credit card ( for Costco ). We keep our finances separate for personal reasons, so he encouraged me to apply for one. I was turned down, solely for the reason of having an old bankruptcy on my credit. I believe this is gender discrimination because he has the exact same bankruptcy record on his credit! Plus, my income is higher than his!

Consumer complaint received 05-04-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (SC).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I have tried several times to have  Navient  update my credit reports. They are showing several late payments while I was in deferment or forbearance. I called and asked a representative by the name of  XXXX  to please send me a full file of my account and was told they ca n't and I would have to research everything myself. I have filed several disputes with the credit bureaus but they obviously are not really researching these accounts. I have sen t Navient  my student loan data which clearly shows I was never in a repayment status when these late payments were to occur and still have heard nothing. These late payments are definitely affecting my credit and preventing me from obtaining credit.

Consumer complaint received 04-10-2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Global Payments Check Services, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene/profane/abusive language

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX I had a NSF check with the XXXX XXXX Co Op. I have been a member for almost 15 years and assumed that it would be resubmitted to my bank account a XXXX time, as is industry practice. I waited patiently to hear back from the Co Op if there was a problem, had the money in my account and even addressed this with my Credit Union. They admitted that the Co Op is a pain. As of 3 days ago I found out that I was on bad check list in view of all the employees who work at the check stand. At no time did anyone inform me of the protocol or policy put in place nor has it been posted for any of the members to see. I was told that the sticker, Global Payment provided, placed on the check registers was sufficient. I informed the Co Op CEO that I need glasses and for the most part people do not look at the Cash Register going through line their focus is the groceries, Checker, and paying for the goods. I also informed her using that location to educate members was inappropriate and it should be posted in view at the Customer Service desk or on the Bulletin Board where they are asking for Customer/member feedback. At no time was I ever informed in writing or in person of my rights and timelines to remedy the situation. XXXX XXXX, CEO, informed that the check was sent XXXX XXXX to Global Payments. Global Payments informed me today that they received it XXXX XXXX and sent a letter out that day, which I have not received yet, and on XXXX XXXX they ran my check through the account again which bounced again since we do not have overdraft. I had the monies there for over a month and a half. I let the CEO know that they made the process more difficult because if I had known what the policy was I would have been there the next day to remedy the situation and actually offered to pay for the check. I want to know where my rights are so situations like this can be prevented in the future. I will be attending a Board meeting to let the Co Op know that they are member organization and part of the mission statement is to educate their members and to include them in their policy decisions. I take responsibility for reasonable fees but I feel the XXXX XXXX Co Op was negligent in informing me on a timely basis of the problem, in fact, sitting on it for six weeks, and denied me the ability to remedy the check within a reasonable timeframe and then escalated the situation. What are the laws regulating Check Collection agencies? Should I have received a letter giving me a chance to remedy the situation directly sooner? What authority has a XXXX XXXX XXXX to resubmit a NSF check?

Consumer complaint received 09-12-2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: On Friday, XXXX/XXXX/16, I called Quicken Loans about a potential refinancing of my existing mortgage. I explicitly told the representative what I was looking for, the term of the loan, and the minimum cash out amount that I needed ( {$140000.00} ). I told him that if the cash amount I needed was not possible, I would not be interested in refinancing since it would not serve my needs. He stated that I would be able to get the amount required, perhaps about {$5000.00} - {$7000.00} less ( which I did not object ), and the rate would be 2.99 %. He then said that he needed to " profile me ''. I told him that I would be ok as long as the cash out amount and the rate were accurate ( emphasis on these conditions ). After he ran my credit, he said everything was fine and I would be receiving a good faith estimate shortly. To my surprise, not only the cash out amount was substantially lower - {$120000.00}, more than {$20000.00} less than what I required! - the 2.99 % rate required more than 3.5 % in points, which he did not disclose! I emailed him back twice and received no response. I feel that I was cheated during the process so he could run my credit score and initiate the application, most likely because his compensation is tied to those metrics. He should have disclosed the points and Quicken Loan 's experience in this industry should have been more than sufficient to give an approximate cash out amount based on the closing costs, at the very least that the amount would not approximate my desired outcome.
