Consumer complaint received 05/30/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MD).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: I enrolled with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) University, XXXX, XXXX campus. XXXX 2015. I am getting collection letters and calls after I withdrew from their campu in a timely manner. I tried to reach out to the advisor who did the enrollment and explained to her when I started getting emails from class information about attending classes on campus. I explained to her my classes was to be online due to my working schedule and travel from my job. First I applied for interest in a XXXX campus which was on my way home from my job. This campus went in and stole my information due to they saw my address and called me in to see their campus. I did only because I thought well I do live near by I can take the classes online. Well I went and there was a storm in our area but I wanted to keep my word. I was rushed given a bag of campus goodies, decals, pens, pencals, mouse pads etc. took a ID and parking pass. entrance exam etc. This was for a fall classes section. However after getting emails that the classes would take place on campus I reached out to the advisor and explained I would need to withdraw I could n't attend and also that I could n't get the financial aid through my employer at the time. So my emails and calls went unreturned by the advisor who did the enrollment. Then I got a call from her boss and was told I need to speak with financial aid office I then realized they wanted to make sure I did n't owe them money. I started to see their scam and thought to myself how could I this man told me I owed this school {$560.00} yes this amount and after I told him I was n't paying this amount and I would need a itemzed bill a break down for what this is for. I explained I never took a class, bought any books, anything nothing. So than after a few weeks, month went by and I got a call from a headquarter 's office in XXXX and explained all of this again to a gentelman who told me to go over to the campus and tell them what happen and I said, no. That my emails, should be enough, my phone calls and letters to the financial aid office should be enough. I explained to him that I did the same with XXXX and when I got a letter that from the federal student aid office my student loan was in default and I was not going to be getting a default clearance letter to attend their school I had to withdraw they were understanding. I did n't get a bill for {$400.00} or {$300.00} dollars. This is crazy for a bag of goodies which I can give them back really I do n't need to pay them for a bag of pens. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Consumer complaint received 02-03-2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: In XXXX I obtained a private student loan from Navient ( formally XXXX ). I had to apply for a private loan because my ex wife was XXXX with my son and she could no longer work. I had to use my ex father- in- law to co- sign the loan. They promised to take him off the loan after two years as well as consolidate my loans. Its been over ten years and Navient has never helped me in any way. For 7 years I never missed a payment and during the economic downturn in XXXX I lost my job and since then I 've never been able to recover. For all those years I paid {$320.00} every month for both my federal and private loans and now in recent years I have to pay $ XXXX month even though I 'm earning a fraction what I was earning before. They refuse to assist me with reducing my monthly payments or in any other way. They have made the payment process extremely confusing over the years. One representative would tell me one thing then another would tell me something totally different. I simply can not pay {$500.00} per month! I earn minimum wage. even if I 'm a day late with a payment, they call my ex father- in- law numerous times a day and harass him. He 's an elderly man and it XXXX him out. I feel so helpless in this situation! 
Its also obvious that Navient has not been applying my payments to my loans. I have a billing summary from XXXX where my balance is {$25.00}, XXXX. 
My current summary states that I owe {$24000.00}. After making payments for almost three years, my balance has gone down by a mere {$1000.00}. How is this possible? I really want to do the right thing here and pay off the loan but {$500.00} is way too much / month on my salary. I do n't know what to do. I just want them to reduce my monthly payments and leave my ex father-in-law alone.

A portion ( XXXX ) of the check is my money and they have n't released a dime of it .They are making me wait for my money too, I do n't understand how they can do this.

Consumer complaint received 04/20/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I recently requested copies of my statements and cancelled checks for the last year from my checking account. I was emailed 6 months worth of statements.  Wells Fargo sa id they could n't email the rest because " only some of them could be opened ''. They said they could only print them, but the files could not be opened. I then looked through the statements I did receive. I received  XXXX  different and conflicting statements for the month of   XXXX   XXXX   They are both clearly from the same account, and yet they have different information on the statements  ( one  said we were overdrawn for the month and the other said we had over {$4000.00} in our account ). When I spoke to  Wells Fargo  about these obvious problems in their records, and asked them to look into these problems. They said that they would not do that, it was against policy to investigate problems like these. Well, these are my records and since there is a very obvious problem, this needs to be addressed.

Consumer complaint received 11/24/2015 about Credit card () with PNC Bank N.A. (PA).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: PNC sent the issued credit card that I applied for to a wrong address and I never received that credit card. There were XXXX over {$1200.00} fraud charges on the credit card. PNC told me that I am reliable for these fraud charges. 
On XXXX, 2015 I went to the PNC branch located in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA for XXXX things, ( 1 ) mailing the PIN for my PNC business debit card, ( 2 ) applying a PNC business credit card. About a week later I received the mailed PIN. But there was no any response from PNC about my credit card application. 
Around one month later ( in XXXX, 2015 ), I received a call from PNC when I was at the XXXX 's located in the XXXX, XXXX. A lady from PNC asked me to verify XXXX credit card transactions ( & gt ; {$1200.00} ) on the phone. These transactions were made using the credit card that was issued to me by PNC. I told her that I had n't received the credit card yet, how I could make a payment with it. I reported to her that were fraudulent charges. The lady then verified my address and told me that PNC had sent the credit card to the wrong address. She promised me to close the account and would issue me a new credit card. Meanwhile, she said that PNC would remove these XXXX statements from my credit card account. 
After I received and activated my new credit card, I logged in my online banking account and did see these XXXX fraudulent charges were removed. However I noticed these XXXX fraudulent charges were posted again in my PNC credit card account in XXXX XXXX. I called the customer service hotline right away for a few times. Each time I was given a different story. In my last call, the representative told me that PNC had done with the investigation and PNC had denied those over {$1200.00} charges as fraud charges. 
PNC sent the credit card to a wrong place and I never received it. Why am I reliable for these fraud charges? I enclosed my XXXX evidences of my address, XXXX is the envelope in which PNC sent PIN code in XXXX XXXX 2015. The other is the address of my business that printed out from XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CO).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I have a bill in collections from XXXX and it is because my initial bill was on a payment plan which was agreed to by the original creditor as they set me up on the plan. I received a letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that I was being placed in collections. I called the original creditor the bill was with and they stated it was an error on behalf of the XXXX party and they were just supposed to be handling the bill. They looked and confirmed the bill was up to date and never late and my final payment was to be paid XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I received a confirmation email that I paid the bill in full once the final installment was paid. Suddenly in XXXX XXXX I received a notice on my credit report that I was turned into collections. I then called the original creditor XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and asked them why they did this. They called the debt collector and said it was straightened out but they said there was no guarantee it could be taken off my credit report. In essence I was turned into a collection agency in a fraudulent manner. I then disputed the ding on my credit with Transunion and XXXX, with Transunion showing as it being open and outstanding and XXXX showing that the bill was paid and closed but still in collections. XXXX went ahead and deleted the blemish from my credit report but transition changed their status to paid and closed but in collections. They also resported the information in an inconsistent manner. I have emails about the payment plan and proof through my bank statements that the payment was taken out each month for several months on the agreed dates. I truly feel that I was wronged in this matter and I am extremely dissatisfied with the initial creditor, the collections company, as well as transunion. I am in the process of eliminating my debts and trying to purchase a house and now I have a collection listed on my credit and I will go to any length to have this removed from my Transunion report and have the correct information reflecting on my credit report. If I would have known this blunder would have occurred I would have just suffered a bit more and paid the bill in full. I want my credit report to go back to the way it was. If I am not able to get a proper resolution I will likely see about taking the original medical creditor and the debt collector to small claims court, or possibly even seek a lawyer to take legal action against them. The original creditor was XXXX and the collection company is XXXX The date of service was in the XXXX of XXXX XXXX a hospital in XXXX, colorado.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: Portfolio Recovery stated that i owe them {$620.00} for a XXXX XXXX card ending in XXXX, but on their verification letter the amount is {$620.00}, These amounts are different, and since they record their phone calls i would like them to share the conversation i had with them on XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) stating i owe {$620.00}, and how I have a letter from them stating i owe {$620.00}. I find this to be unlawful for them to collect the wrong amount. I demand that since their unlawful practices trying to collect more money than i actually owe that their reporting to all XXXX credit bureaus cease immediately.

Consumer complaint received 01/25/2018 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (SC).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Bank of America has seized money from a Guardianship checking account under a fraud claim and will not release them. 
This is an account monitored by the Probate Court in XXXX, SC. BOA seized the funds out of this account back in XXXX 2017, and told me it was under fraud investigation. I have been to the bank multiple times to get information as to what is needed to release the funds back to me, but I have not been given any information. I made repeated trips to the bank and spoke with the branch manager and he made phone calls to the BOA legal department all during the month of XXXX, and the only response given is that it is under investigation. 

I had a phone conversation at bank of America to the Fraud department on XX/XX/XXXX, and did a follow up Email in regards to my account which is under fraud investigation. I understand that the funds of {$18000.00} are still held in the HOLD HARMLESS account by Bank Of America. I also understand that the fraud case is still open and someone is investigating the account. Also I understand that this person has the 18 pages of documents that I provided Bank Of America months ago that explain in detail from the Probate court that the account was a legitimate account.

I have asked Bank of America to provide any details of what they need from me or the Probate court to release the funds ASAP. At this point the funds are needed for my mother 's assisted living care. Also I need to provide the court with information as to why I do n't have access to the funds at this point, and what is being done to get them back.
