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

Complaint: I am about to retire. I went in to my credit report to make sure everything was OK. I found an item for a company credit card from years ago. Over the years I had paid much more on interest than I originally used on the card. The amount on the credit card was for {$20000.00}. I called the company on the credit report, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) which is a collection company. We discussed the matter over the phone and came to an agreement to satisfy this matter for the price of {$5000.00}. Check # XXXX from XXXX, XXXX, MA I sent them the money via a check over the Internet. They in turn were supposed to send me an email confirming this arrangement and that this amount was to satisfy the matter completely. This was two days ago and I have yet to receive a message confirming this arrangement. At this point I am leery that the company has simply cashed my check and taken no further action to resolve this issue on my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 08-09-2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Harris & Harris, Ltd. (TX).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: They have a robo dialer calling the number. I have not received anything in writing saying I owe a debt and to my knowledge I do not.

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

Complaint: I was told my loans will be paid off in full on my current plan by XX/XX/XXXX which is XXXX years after I started repayment, and there is no way they will be. I have been paying what seems to be nothing but interest as my principle balance has not moved. I have called to confirm the XX/XX/XXXX payoff and they always say it is accurate. I feel like I am being scammed because I never see my principle balance drop. 

I got student loans in hopes of having a higher earning potential. I graduated in XX/XX/XXXX admidst the worst financial collapse certainly of my life time with very limited jobs. Came ou of college making XXXX a year with a XXXX monthly student loan payment. I currently make more but now with a wife and XXXX children work 60-70 hours a week just to pay the bills. I got student loans to get a better job and be able to live a great life, not cripple me with debt and have to struggle to get by and not even make a dent in the balance. 

I did n't qualify for any assistance or help because my parents made to Much money and they said my '' anticipated family giving '' did n't allow me to get any grants/assistance when in reality I paid every single penny of my college experience with no help from my parents. Now, almost 10 years post graduation I still owe almost XXXX just to navient ( and that 's not even considering the XXXX I owe XXXX for student loans ). Student loans are a scam and if I could do it all over I would have joined the military or learned a trade. 

This has been and will be the worst decision of my life. It has stalled everything. All the things I have ever wanted ( but a home, live debt free, have a comfortable life ) has all been stalled by this devastating debt that seemingly will never go away. 

WORST decision of my life!

Consumer complaint received 02-10-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Brelvis Consulting, LLC (NM).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I was attending a private college, XXXX XXXX College, for XXXX. The school is closing and I am unable to continue due to their closure. I have accumulated a large debt from financial aid and needed to figure out how to pay it off. I thought I was dealing with the actual Department of education about my loans, trying to consolidate them. The company The Student Loan Help Center ( TSLHC ) said that I needed to pay {$790.00} for this service. Of course I ca n't afford this so they set up a payment plan of 4 monthly installments. After the second payment went out I recieved a notice from the Department of Education ( DOE ) stating that my Power of Attorney was declined. I called the DOE and was informed by XXXX of the reps that they provide this service for free and the TSLHC is a 3rd party debt relief company scam. I called my Bank and faxed the letter stating the declination of my Power of Attorney. My bank reversed the charges and changed my account # so they would not have any further access to my funds. 
I was contacted by the TSLHC asking for the third payment, I stated I needed to discuss this with the DOE. I then called the DOE and again was informed not to speak with TSLHC, to call the State Attorney General and file a complaint of a 3rd party debt relief company scam. I did this and was redirected from the Attorney Generals office to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and place a complaint with them. 
If you need any further information you may contact me.

Consumer complaint received 06-05-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NY).
Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint: XXXXXXXXXXXX Per attached Best Buy purchase of XXXX ( XXXX ) Office 365 Product ( back-copy ) and receipts, I was under the impression that if I did not " scratch-off '' the back of the XXXX Office 365 product-card ( see attached ), the product could simply be returned to Best Buy and put back on the Best Buy store shelf for another purchaser. 

However, upon returning to the Best Buy XXXX XXXX, XXXX store at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX with the " unscratched '' XXXX Office 365 product card, I was told by the Best Buy store salesman XXXX XXXX and Best Buy customer service rep that even if I brought it back in the 15-day window time for returns, since it is " Software '' it is NON-REFUNDABLE. 

No where on the receipt, or during the purchase, or posted on the purchase aisle in the store was I made aware that since it is " Software '' it is NON-REFUNDABLE, but rather, I was led to believe that if I did not scratch-off code on the back, I could simply return the product to where I bought it. 

As a " naive '' buyer, I was also led to believe to always buy software for any computer purchase, but the XXXX Airbook ( XXXX Air, XXXX Air on the receipt ) apparently is able to use cloud-based docs and spreadsheets, and does n't need any " downloadable '' software. 

The original Best Buy salesperson XXXX XXXX and Best Buy Customer Service rep were unable to help me with any possibility of return and explained that once the XXXX Office 365 product was scanned at the register, at that point in time, it became non-refundable - even though I did n't scratch-off the back of the product card and even if I had brought it back in the 15-day return-time window. 

I was not made aware of this at the time of purchase, but rather was simply made aware of the need to scratch-off the back to use the product. 

Customer service at Best Buy XXXX XXXX store at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX told me to call XXXX, which I did, and they gave my this email XXXXXXXXXXXX to which I wrote. 

What is the official procedure for Best Buy, or ANY store that sells separate software along with computers, to accept return of UNUSED/UNSCRATCHED XXXX product to enable a refund or exchange? 

At the attempted time of return, Best Buy in-store Customer Service seemed to imply the onus was now on me as the " owner '' of the software-license to NOW deal directly with XXXX (?! ) since their cash-register-scan removed the product from their shelves without the possibility of return. 

However, further enticement was made at the time of purchase to perform the purchase via " new '' Best Buy Credit Card, which also was done, again with the implicit ( and now-found-to-be-INCORRECT ) assumption that returns could be made to the card if the XXXX Office 365 product was deemed unnecessary at a later date. 

Please investigate and reply.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: Aargon agency is saying I owe XXXX debts for hospital bills that I never received. After calling XXXX that they claimed I owe, the hospital told me I need to contact them and GET the account numbers from them because thats not the balance they show for me. I have low income so if I owed a balance I would have tried to get a small payment plan before they applied it on my credit report. This debt is now hindering from obtaining credit from different companies.
