Consumer complaint received 06/22/2016 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (TX).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint: On yesterday, XXXX XXXX, I spoke to a supposedly representative of Ad Astra recovery services to address the debt reported on my credit report. I was asked to share my social security number which I did n't feel comfortable sharing. I asked for more information about the collection agency, which the person by the name of XXXX shared the location but she would not give me her last name. I made the mistake of sharing my social security number because the agency sounded legitimate and it still may be but I felt very uneasy after sharing that information. I told her that I will not make payment arrangements until I receive something in writing to verify the debt which she said they are able to do. She stated that I will receive a letter in the mail within 7-10days. I believe the debt may be valid but I 'm not sure about the agency or the person I spoke too. My main concern is that they now have my social security number.

Consumer complaint received 01/20/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: Navient is my loan servicer. I also have some loans that are serviced by XXXX. Every year, I submit a renewal for my income-based repayment plan using the same forms and tax returns to both servicers. This year, Navient rejected my renewal, because I " chose the wrong option, '' and a representative informed me that I can only submit a renewal for income-based repayment 45 days before the expiration of my plan, and no earlier. She told me that it would take between 15-20 days to process once the renewal is submitted. This leaves me no time to correct any problems with my forms if they take 15-20 days to process my renewal within that 45 day window. I checked my loan document and it states that the first day I can renew is 95 days ( not 45 ) prior to the loan period expiration. The document does not have the date on which the loan period expires. I had the same issue with Navient/XXXX two years ago when I submitted my renewal prior to the 45 ( or 95 ) day window. However, I did not receive an explanation for my rejection, and the loan service operators gave me a different explanation every time I called. They also attempted to put my loan into forbearance although I made it clear that I did not want my loan to be put in forbearance. I wanted them to either process my renewal, or tell me if I am missing information which made it impossible for them to process my renewal. After several heated conversations with the loan service representatives, I was able to speak to a manager who processed my application for income-based renewal.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: Hi, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Original Account # XXXX had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for a mobile line, back in 2011. They started raising their prices so I closed the account and paid off what I was told. 
Four years later, XXXX XXXX XXXX reported this account as none paid, to a collection company named " Enhance Recovery company '' ; which reported this account to the major credit bureaus as none paid and damaged my credit in a greatly manner! ERC did not contact me by phone or mail. When I recently contact them ( ERC ), they told me that they were trying to contact me to the phone number that was given by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I closed back in 2011, so would they contact me? Now, that BAD account will be in my credit report for many years. 
Just this pass week, I called them and I settled a payment in full to get rid of this account. However, they said ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and ERC ) that they can not erase it form my credit account. Is there any way that I could do that? I would appreciate if any company could get in touch with them and inform them that is not right just to damage someone 's credit with out any contact with them. Below, is ERC information:XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, FL XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Toll XXXX Hours ( Eastern Time ) :XXXX XXXX XXXX advance, thank you so much for your time.

Consumer complaint received 07/26/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with GREAT LAKES (MI).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: Why is the cut off for qualifying for PAYE XXXX XXXX? I started college in XX/XX/XXXX and thus got my first government loan then. My husband and I recently tried to get a mortgage ( we 've never missed a rent payment in the 7 years we 've rented ) but my monthly student loan payments were too high for us to qualify for a mortgage. I 'm on the IBR repayment plan but with my private student loans my monthly payments are more than XXXX % of our total monthly income ( and that does n't include my husband 's loans ). Will PAYE ever include borrowers before XX/XX/XXXX?

Consumer complaint received 10-04-2016 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (NV).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: I had already filed the complaint against XXXX where this mortgage first began. My now ex-husband was to take responsibility of the payments of the home since he was still residing in it and he was to get the mortgage out of my name completely. I was informed that XXXX did a modification which they would not supply me paperwork showing I agreed to any changes. Then it was sold to Ocwen Loan Servicing. Again no one at Ocwen will supply the paperwork showing that anyone had the authority to make changes to the original mortgage without my consent.

Consumer complaint received 05-11-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC (MO).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Hello, I am having an issue with Lakeview Loan Servicing , LLC  XXXX .  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , VA  XXXX . I Paid my loan down to under  80  percent and submitted a request to remove PMI through an online portal submission. I did not get a response at all so I called customer service and the representative i spoke with said that I had to submit in writing through the web portal. I explained that I had already done so. She checked and did not see any requests for me. She suggested resubmitting and said that she could not help me. I resubmit, still no email confirmation or anything. I wait a few days and call back. This time the  Rep said that I had to be under 78 percent or they would n't even pay attention to my request. I have been current over the life of my loan and though the documentation is confusing I believe that I should be relieved after 80 percent at my request. Well I went ahead and paid the loan down to below 78 percent and submitted the request again. It has now been another 2 weeks and I still have heard nothing. Three requests and two phone calls over a month and I still have not received a response. I believe that this co mpany is trying to continue charging me PMI illegally.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: This complaint is to inform the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of the willful, reckless and negligent inaccurate reporting of the below information on my credit file by Experian. Experian refuses to provide me with any proof that I authorized the companies listed to receive my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 02/22/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint: I obtained a copy of my credit report on XX/XX/18 for my personal purposes of ensuring that all account entries were reporting accurately. A week later, I received a notification from my credit monitoring subscription that 2 negative account entries were reporting on my report. To my dismay, I found that these were accounts with 3rd party collection companies that had in fact been deleted from all of my credit reports previously due to the fact that these companies were unable to verify the information that they were reporting ( See attached dispute letters ). I submitted dispute letters multiple times to both of these companies which resulted in the items being deleted. See attached credit report dated XX/XX/18 where my credit reports bore no collections. These account entries must be DELETED immediately. 

Additionally, my complaint against XXXX and Equifax is that they allowed the re-insertion of these accounts on my reports and DID NOT notify me five ( 5 ) days prior to doing so which is a direct violation of my consumer rights. Further, I have received NO CORRESPONDENCE FROM XXXX XXXX OR XXXX  regarding any additional information they have to support re-inserting these entries on my credit reports. The law mandates that 3rd party collection companies have 30 days to investigate the dispute and respond with their findings. Being that they were unable to do so previously, does not mean that they are at liberty or will to reinsert these same accounts because time has passed. Blatant violation of my rights. 

Prior to hiring an FDCPA attorney for these inaccurate entries and illegal re-insertions, I am demanding that both these account entries be deleted from my XXXX  and Equifax reports immediately and that I am provided a copy of the updated reports for my records.

Consumer complaint received 01/28/2018 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with Marlette Funding, LLC (KS).
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint: XXXX sends out printed advertising but application for the loan is done online. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) approved a loan in the amount of {$6500.00}. I printed out the email showing that the loan amount of {$6500.00} had a 14.99 % APR and a term of 3 years. I selected these terms on applying for the loan. These terms were repeated in an email on XX/XX/XXXX, when the loan was funded. 
In actual fact, a loan proceed of {$6100.00} was deposited in my checking account. 
When I called the XXXX number on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that a loan origination fee of {$320.00} was deducted from the amount deposited to my account. The origination fee was not declared on any of the information about the loan I printed out. 
After the fact, I went back to the advertising sent to me and found in closely spaced, tiny 2 point grey print reference to an origination fee. 
The CSR knew who I was, but told me that the origination fee was 5.25 % ( which I converted to XXXX during conversation with him to check the math ). Then he changed the percentage of the origination fee to 4.79 %, and this was correct ( XXXX x XXXX = {$320.00} ).

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

Complaint: Experian has reinserted the creditor XXXX XXXX on my Credit Report. I contacted both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian notifying them that the debt does not belong to me. The address that XXXX XXXX XXXX had associated with me is not my address and has never belonged to me. They also attempted to add and report a new address to my credit report file after they were removed from credit report and now they are reporting back on my report. XXXX XXXX XXXX has used different tactics to add information to my report even though it does not belong to and Experian does not provide their methods of a reasonable investigation. Accepting the electronic answers via XXXX is not a reasonable investigation. I would like to know what type of investigation has been conducted by Experian to report XXXX XXXX XXXX on my report and why are the back on my report. How can they attempt to report different addresses on my report. They are phishing for information so they can report on my credit report they do n't.

Consumer complaint received 09/26/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (LA).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX called my ex husband and revealed that she was trying to reach me about a debt collection. I believe this practice is illegal. My private financial information should not be disclosed to others. especially my ex husband. He is the reason I am in debt. I have been in protracted legal battle over a financial settlement, and he is a lawyer. He has used the system to drag this out and forced me in debt in an effort to make me accept a bad settlement. You have not helped by disclosing this to him. Companies should not call other people in an effort to collect debt. By telling him who she worked for she was telling him I am in collections for debt. This type of tactics should be stopped! 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
