Consumer complaint received 01/26/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: Good evening : I took out approximately {$42000.00} in the early XXXX, and I have been paying for over 19 years, and now I owe {$54000.00} ; and I ca n't seem to understand why my principal never went down at all after all this years. Another thing is that I worked out a change on my student loans, to make my payments more affordable at the beginning of the XXXX ; and now without my agreeing to it, Navient change all the terms of the loans, back to the XXXX, when I could not afford them ; I get the impression that they want me to default. I asked them for a complete print out of all of my loan transactions over the years, and any changes to my loan terms ; to see if I can understand what is going on with my loans. The loans just keep increasing, and 19 years have gone by and there is not change ( I guess every time I took a forbearance, I had to pay the interest and then pay interest on the interest ) ; I also think that I should have the right to review and signed any changes to my note since I am the borrower. 
Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 01/26/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (FL).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: Good afternoon, I am making a dispute against Barclays Bank Delaware , XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX And XXXX XXXX XXXX  for making a hard inquiry against my credit report. I believe I was sent a pre-approval offer letter from These banks to me in the mail and was told that ANY pre-approved offers should be reported as a soft inquiry. However, there was nothing soft about this inquiry. This hard inquiry, along with a few others, has in fact ravaged my credit score, causing my credit score to plummet from a XXXX excellent score to a XXXX. Being that I was considering of getting a mortgage loan in a few months, these hard inquiries will not look good to bank and other lenders.

Consumer complaint received 06-07-2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (MD).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

Complaint: I financed a XXXX Nissan Altima from Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation ( NMAC ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I also purchased GAP and other warranty products at the time of purchase. On XX/XX/XXXX I was involved in a car accident in which the vehicle was totaled. My insurance paid most of the car balance off with NMAC except for approximately {$1500.00}, which comprised of the GAP premium and warranty package. I filed a claim with the GAP company listed on my loan documents from NMAC which put me through a series of hoops in order to fax them paperwork every week only to not review it for another whole week and send me a letter via mail each time they requested new information. I would not receive a call related to my claim or any direct communication. I spent over 3 months trying to have the remaining loan balance paid off with NMAC. I even requested to just have NMAC place the remaining balance onto the new car I financed with them in XX/XX/XXXX. They declined. Instead they insisted on allowing my GAP claim to be denied for charges that were only there due to me even purchasing the GAP and extending warranty to begin with. Had I not purchased these products that in no way helped me in the way they portrayed that it would if I ever was to find myself in this situation, I would not have a remaining balance on this loan. Since I had to purchase a new car after totaling my car I could not afford to continue making payments on the XX/XX/XXXXloan, thus it has affected my credit significantly. I feel this practice of selling GAP products without fully explaining how they work is a total sham. I

Consumer complaint received 02-12-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (OH).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I lost my job because I have XXXX XXXX I can not work like I used to, and got behind on my mortgage but the first time I sent payments to OCWEN but they refuse the payments and send them back to me. I called them and they said they would only take a payment if I did the payment through them. I did this they wanted XXXX dollars every two weeks. This is XXXX more than my mortgage. I told them I filed for help and modification and forbarence but they said it did not matter I had to pay them. I told them I would do it the first two times but then I went back to making the payment through my bank which they return a payment again. Can they return my payments when I am making over my monthly payments? I told them I finally got a new job but it may take me a few to get caught up. They stated ok but I need to only pay through OCWEN not my bank. But they charge me a fee to do that and my bank does n't. OCWEN also charges to mail stuff to my house and inspect my property which my house has never been inspected from OCWEN. I keep getting letters to file for a modification but I have several times. No response. I just want to pay my mortgage and get caught up. This is the third time this company has messed with taking my payments, raised my mortgage and when I call and ask why they always say it is taxes or escrow, I just want my loan to be modified with a decrease in payment or go to a different servicer. I just want to pay my mortgage and keep my home.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (PA).
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Non-sufficient funds and associated fees

Complaint: I have a checking account at TD Bank. I opened the account about a year ago and deposited {$100.00}, which is the minimum requirement so you are not charged any fees. When I received my first statement I noticed a paper statement fee for {$1.00}. Which brought my balance below {$100.00}. I immediately contacted TD Bank and stated the paper statement fee was never verbally disclosed to me at account opening. The banker was very understanding and reversed the paper statement fee and the pending monthly maintenance fee of {$15.00}. I enrolled in online statements as well. These adjustments brought my balance back to the {$100.00} minimum requirement. I received a letter in the mail dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX which stated my account is overdrawn by {$19.00}. At first I thought someone compromised my account and withdrew the monies, but when I called TD Bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I was informed the funds were depleted due to the $ XXXX monthly maintenance fee that was being charged for low balance. This is the explanation I received when I contacted TD Bank. The paper statement fee was charged in early XXXX, but the reversal did not occur until a couple weeks later, so my balance was not at {$100.00} for the full month. Thus, I was charged the {$15.00} maintenance fee every month since that time. 
When I took care of this in XXXX the Banker told me that I was made whole again with the reversals and enrolling in online statements and I would not be charged anymore fees as long as the balance remained at {$100.00}. Well I guess someone forgot to disclose another important fact. TD Bank has now failed to disclose important facts on two different occasions.

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: This is my second complaint filed against TRANSUNION. My first complaint, Complaint Number XXXX, did not lawfully satisfy my issues with this company. This company is misreporting the status and the lien itself. All the liens have been withdrawn by the IRS and I should not have any liens on my credit report. Even XXXX and XXXX REMOVED the liens that were previously reported. I have sent numerous dispute letters to dispute these invalid entries but TRANSUNION refused to comply and remained negligent and none complaint. These are the incorrect and invalid liens that must be removed under the XXXX XXXX XXXX   program and being withdrawn by IRS : 1. FEDERAL LIEN ref # XXXX - This is not mine! My name, SSN, DOB is not by any means associated with this lien! Delete this immediately! I don't recognize that filed date nor the balance they are reporting. 2. STATE LIEN ref # XXXX -- - Same with this lien, - This is not mine! My name, SSN, DOB is not by any means associated with this lien! Delete this immediately! I don't recognize that filed date nor the balance they are reporting. 3. FEDERAL LIEN ref # XXXX - AND THIS ONE AS WELL! - This is not mine! My name, SSN, DOB is not by any means associated with this lien! Delete this immediately! I don't recognize that filed date nor the balance they are reporting. This credit bureau remained none compliant and negligent and I am involving my legal counsel now if these violations were not fixed.

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CIG FINANCIAL LLC (UT).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: We voluntarily gave back a car we were financing back in 2015. Once we gave the car back we contacted about the amount owed on the car. My husband and I paid {$3500.00} to satisfy the amount with Cig Financial and the agreement we signed says it will be updated on the credit report as satisfied paid and   XXXX   balance. ( letter agreement attached ) We were not told it will be a charge off. It should never been reported as a charge off when we voluntary gave the car back and the company sold the car for a high amount. Since  XXXX -2015 we have been going back and forth about how it is reporting on our credit. It shows as a charged off account in the amount of {$14000.00} and a balance of {$14000.00}. I attached emails where the lady from Cig   XXXX   XXXX   said she already reported it to the credit company as " paid with {$0.00} balance ''. For 2 1/2 years now this account on our reports have caused us to be denied auto loans, home loans, and credit cards. We thought we were doing the right thing by settling and working with   XXXX   and Cig Financial. I feel it was against the law the way it has been reporting on our reports for the last 2 1/2 years and since they sold the car for over {$10000.00} and collected {$3500.00} from us they actually doubled up on amounts and possibly reported the charge off on taxes as {$14000.00} when really they got money for the car from the sale and us. I also called a gentleman a month ago and he told me this will remain how it is on the credit and they will not change it ... Even though I have the proof from   XXXX   that she will report it as paid satisfied with a   XXXX   balance ... I never knew how I could solve this issue so I hope going through CFPB we can get resolution on this case. I attached some documents as proof from   XXXX   XXXX  .

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

The result for year have been verified and never been validated so Im asking your company to please investigate this information and have some validation information to me. The credit bureaus is very abusive in power and I feel trapped for them not to be listen to what I have to say and also I have fraud alert in my account in there undermine does also. I want to bankruptcy removed from my account I have no knowledge of it I have asked for for validation for that information and it was never provided to me I went to the court system to ask why do you report something thats not mine and they told me they never did so I dont know why the credit bureaus do you have so much power to do consumers like me this way. The law shows that if the credit bureaus can not validate information that they had to remove the item from your credit report so Im not understanding if they can not validate my information why do you keep running my credit the way they are.

Consumer complaint received 07-07-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (NC).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We are writing to ask for your help in our situation with Nationstar Mortgage. Last year we decided that it was time to sell our home, we no longer can afford it, it had taken almost all our retirement funds trying to save our home by waiting for the value of our to go up enough to sell it without having to pay out pocket expenses related to the sale. Here in XXXX XXXX the market had not improve enough for that to happen. We hired an real estate agent to sell it, that is when we found out that the value of our home is still under water by about {$18000.00}. She advised us to file for a short sale, we did that in XXXX of 2014 and as of this date we have not received any communication from Nationstar Mortgage. They told our agent that FHA approved a loan modification, we have never received any detail or written notification from them regarding this decision, maybe it is your a tactic to delay it. We are worry that this is going to end in a foreclosure. 

Here is our problem, following the advise of our agent, we stopped making payment for two months, they place the rest of the payments that we made in an escrow account and blocked us from making payments electronically, meanwhile they sold our loan to XXXX of Florida. They will not return our phone calls or communicate with us at any time of this process, the only contact phone they provide is a call center with voice mail never a human and we leave message after message and they never return our calls. 

Please help us, we are seniors with very little money left, my husband is XXXX years old and I am XXXX, we can afford to fight these people that are in the business to screw the consumers. 

Also I would like to tell you that for the beginning of this process we have a serious offer of {$190000.00} which has not been accepted nor rejected, plus they have been many interested buyers.
