Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: To whom it may concern :   XX/XX/XXXX     I went to  Veterans First  to refinance my home. I dealt with  XXXX   XXXX .

Consumer complaint received 01/23/2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (IL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I contacted Navient in the hopes of lowering my monthly payments from {$260.00} to {$130.00}. I made sure I contacted them before the loan was even due to ensure proper time was given to handle the issue. I was placed on a payment plan and my first payment was drafted from my checking account on XXXX/XXXX/2017. It was agreed that subsequent payments would be automatically deducted each month on the XXXX. I checked my Navient account a few days later and was told my account is past due and I will incur late fees. When I called back to inquire about this I was told the following : 1 ) I did n't pay the full amount despite them seeing the payment plan ; 2 ) the person who placed me on the payment plan was unauthorized to do so ; 3 ) they admitted that the program was n't explained well to me and that I would have to wait for upper management to approve my payment plan which could take three months ; 4 ) even though I would incur late fees, they would not be reimbursement even after my good faith effort of paying every month ; 5 ) I would have to make three successful and consecutive payments before the plan is approved, which was not explained at the time of setting up the payment plan ; and 6 ) my account may go into default despite paying every month BUT I should n't worry for now because I am only a few days past due. I was stunned by the miscommunication, lack of professionalism and sheer incompetence of their customer service representatives. I 'm not trying to avoid paying my loans, I simply want an option that 's more affordable. Considering that, I feel that there should be better information available customers and better care on behalf of the reps when dealing with these types of circumstances.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CO).
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint: I have attempted over the course of 4 years to correct this issue with my credit file. The issue is primarily with Equifax but has been an issue with the other two. There are security questions that allow you to view your report. On these forms are questions about lines of credit, loans, retail cards and bank cards I have never owned. I am, because I have n't the answers to these questions, not allowed to see my report or to properly dispute this information. 

These items are as follows : Mortgage loan XXXX XXXX Home equity line of credit - XXXX XXXX Retail card - XXXX XXXX Retail card - XXXX XXXX Auto loan lease XXXX XXXX Installment Account XXXX XXXX Student Loan - XXXX XXXX If these items are what they seem like, then I have not only been kept from my file, I have also been kept from protecting myself from fraud and I.D . theft. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Consumer complaint received 05/13/2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with LendKey Technologies, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: My problem concerns Lendkey Technologies , Inc. ( Lendkey ), and their " next business day '' payment processing policy for student loan borrowers. Lendkey allows borrowers to make a direct payment only on the XXXX of each month, which is also the day the payment is due. However, if the XXXX falls on a weekend or holiday, Lendkey processes the payment on the next available business day. This oftentimes lengthens the billing cycle by 1-3 days. Interest continues to accrue during the extra days, resulting in higher payments over the life of the loan for the borrower. 

This practice is unfair and deceptive. If Lendkey legitimately can not process payment on a weekend or holiday, then Lendkey should either 1 ) allow borrowers to make a direct payment on a date preceding the weekend or holiday, and/or 2 ) discount the interest that accrued on the loan during the extra days. Lendkey requires borrowers to make payment by the XXXX and threatens the borrowers with late fees if payment is not timely received. Yet, Lendkey apparently lacks the capacity to consistently process the payment by the due date. Lendkey 's inability to timely process payments should not result in a benefit for Lendkey at the expense of its borrowers. 

Lendkey may argue that the borrower breaks even because a lengthened billing cycle in Month A will equally reduce the length of the billing cycle in Month B. However, the balance of the loan and the interest per day will always be lower in the subsequent billing period because the borrower made a payment the previous month. Therefore, the money lost due to interest accrued during the weekend or holiday in Month A will always be greater than the money gained due to the shortened period in Month B. 

Accordingly, Lendkey should be made to revise its payment processing policy and reimburse the extra interest to the borrowers.
