Consumer complaint received 08-01-2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TN).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: I have been a victim of identity theft. I had filed a previous complaint against the original creditor on XX/XX/XXXX with the CFPB. CFPB Case number : XXXX was the complaint against Synchrony Bank for an American Eagle credit card, account ending in XXXX, that was charged after I had lost my wallet. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Synchrony Bank stating:1. That this debt was discharged by Synchrony Bank. 
2. All Charges were removed. 
3. All credit reporting agencies will be notified to remove the account from my credit report. 

I have since been receiving collection letters from a XXXX XXXX , XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX attempting to collect on this debt. I assumed the first XXXX letters, even though they were one day apart in their creation, were so close to the date of the discharge that XXXX XXXX , XXXX had not been notified of the decision by Synchrony Bank. When I received the letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, I can only assume that XXXX XXXX is illegally collecting on this debt.

Consumer complaint received 12/14/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (MO).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: This is regarding OCWEN. In the last couple of years, I was granted a loan modification due to less income in the home because of my divorce. I passed the three month trial period, and OCWEN instructed me to wait for my new contract to sign. I was told everything was good to go. I waited and waited. The new agreement never came. I spoke with so many people regarding where this agreement would be. My " relationship manager '' informed me it got lost in the shuffle due to OCWEN changing hands, etc. Him, and also HIS manager, informed me it was coming, and do not make any payments until it is signed. It still never came. The next letter I received from OCWEN stated they were foreclosing on me because of this. Again, OCWEN would still not accept any mortgage payments from me! I spoke with a couple people that work in the escalations department, many " relationship managers '', and my attorney has even spoke to many people there to help me with this situation. It now appears that I have not made my mortgage payment for quite some time. My attorney spoke with someone there, who looked at my past situation and admitted that OCWEN had indeed made the mistake. She told me to fill out modification paperwork and this would all be taken care of. That OCWEN would figure a way to add my missed payments to the end of my loan or make higher monthly payments to make up for what I have missed, since this was the fault of OCWEN. Finally, I thought this was all getting resolved. However, you guys stated I do not make enough money in the declination letter. My attorney even verified I make enough to keep this house and enough to continue making mortgage payments on my home. I am a single mother with a good paying job and I want to keep my house. I honestly feel this was not my fault. OCWEN even admits it was their mistake. No one will work with me or even my attorney. I am terrified.

Consumer complaint received 11-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a mail letter from XXXX XXXX, notifying me that I had a late payment on my credit card account. I immediately made full payment which was owed on the same day. Then I applied for a home loan equity during XXXX XXXX, and was informed by my loan specialist that a late payment was posted on my credit report for XXXX. I immediately tried to dispute with XXXX XXXX, considering that the late payment happened in XXXX and I was not notified until XXXX, the same time with when they reported to the Credit Bureau. I also had auto payment set up on that account and it did not work. Even now, I had to manually make payment every month because the auto pay function is still not working. I tried to contact XXXX XXXX  XXXX member service twice and they only sent me a general response and kept asking me to give them more information, which I already did. I already made request twice to them that the false report has to be removed from my credit report. They did not want to acknowledge the fact that the had failed to give me proper notice within 30 days when the incident happened. I was not allowed the proper time to act on it. 
This false late payment report has hindered me from closing on my equity loan, which resulting in thousands of interest I had to incur during this time.

Consumer complaint received 10/27/2016 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: Because I am set up in this reduced interest rate program with Navient, what happened is, as they have been taking payments out of my account and applying it, but I do n't know exactly how its being dispersed to all my loans, and because I 'm set up with auto-pay, I have never had any control over it. I just pay my monthly amount and they are supposed to apply it to my loan amounts accordingly. The website does n't have any detailed situation information and I have never gotten a document. All I know is that I owe XXXX a month and they automatically deduct it from my bank account and apply it to my loan. However, since we set up this payment plan, they have n't been applying enough money towards XXXX of my loans, and too much towards another loan. They have been calling 3-4 times a day during the week and weekends and sometimes late in the evening. I was confused because I had been making payments but because departments do n't seem to communicate very well at Navient, I was left with having to explain the program I was in to then get the response 'oh, yeah you are all caught up with payments, apologies we did n't see that. ' But now I have just discovered that they have n't been applying my payment properly, therefore we got dinged on our reports ( my and my cosigners ) which is really a major score drop. This not being the only quirky thing I have been dealing with, I believe Navient needs to be regulated because they clearly can not handle their customers money.

Consumer complaint received 11-05-2015 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with SCOTTRADE BANK (CA).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: Scottrade is good in that it offers good promotions. 2 months of free trading practically and a bonus once you bring in new money. I 've done several XXXX trades with Scottrade, and the executions seemed ok for the most part. Free trades are always good to have but yes they will eventually run out. 

The XXXX complaint I do have with Scottrade is that withdrawal limits are extremely low. First you have to transfer your funds from your brokerage account to your scottrade bank account, which takes a few seconds, so that 's not a big deal. But the limits are as follows to withdraw from your Scottrade bank account to your external bank account via ACH - $ XXXX max per day and $ XXXX max per rolling week and $ XXXX max per rolling month. So if you have a $ XXXX portfolio, for example, and want to extract your funds, you have to either get a check from them, or go to their office and get a wire transfer form. They may waive the fee for it, but your receiving institution will still charge a small fee perhaps. It 's just a hassle. I know XXXX and XXXX have very generous ACH external transfer limits. Scottrade, on the other hand, should learn from the big boys.

Consumer complaint received 06-04-2016 about Credit card () with U.S. BANCORP (CA).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: I have a XXXX XXXX credit card with US Bank. I have been discriminated against. I do n't know why. Around last year, they ended one of the perks that was promised when I signed up for the credit card - it was the book one night get one night free. As compensation for discontinuing this perk, they were crediting account holders with free nights. I thought this was applicable to all account holders so I contacted them to ask why I was n't credited with free nights. They denied giving me any free nights. They provided no reason as to why I was denied. I know for a fact that they compensated other account holders. It 's an arbitrary and discriminatory system as to who they chose to give the free nights to. This should n't be the case since their removal of the perk affected all account holders equally. Unfortunately, I was one of the ones who they felt did n't merit fair and equal compensation. 

I 've been a loyal card holder that has never been late with my payments. I do n't know why I was singled out and discriminated against.

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (MN).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint: It has been extremely difficult to obtain online ( and telephone ) information to understand how to participate in the loan forgiveness program. And what little information is available, the onus of knowing what to do and submit is on the borrower. For example, the system is fully automated but my understanding is that I have to manually go back and review each loan and submit that information. It is an unclear and cumbersome process. I request that the process be transparent - above all else - easy to understand and user friendly to participate in. I am a XXXX prepared, XXXX who has been paying off loans for the last 20 years. I would like to understand my eligibility for the program clearly. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter!

Consumer complaint received 03/29/2016 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with CITIBANK, N.A. (IA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I took out loan thorough Best Buy c.f. for no interest if paid before XXXX 2015. I set up payments through bill pay at my bank to insure prompt complete payment. For some reason, the last payment was short something like {$0.00}. I hear nothing more for 3 months until I happen to see an e-mail from Citi Bank and a bill for {$160.00} and change. I call to see what the problem is and I do speak to plenty of people at the bank. They were quite gracious in reducing the bill to {$120.00} and change. I now realize that there were calls on answering machine that were unintelligible, and this was probably them, but I still do n't know.

Consumer complaint received 01-10-2018 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Title loan) with LENDMARK FINANCIAL SERVICES (CA).
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint: On about the XX/XX/XXXX ( morning ) I called XXXX XXXX and asked for a {$3000.00} loan to pay a couple credit cards off. In the afternoon they called back and said my loan was approved. When I get there their associate has a check for {$4000.00} and I told him I had asked for {$3000.00}. He said " do n't worry about it, bring it back if you do n't need the extra XXXX ''. Quite enticing. When we began the loan procedure he marked my loan application with a higher yield for instance : my car was worth {$2000.00} ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with a couple dents on it, said I owned 2 flat hd screen TV 's ( I do n't ), put down I had a computer and a lap top ( I do n't ), he never received the pink slip to my car before he gave me the loan, ( he just seemed to be in a hurry to get my loan approved with or without a pink slip ) never once mentioned the interest on the loan and put a lien on my car before the first payment was due so I could n't even get my tags. I 've email their headquarters in Georgia and never once got a reply. I sent letters to the manager in XXXX, California and never got a reply. I received a letter ( it took almost to two months ) from the manager of L.F. in XXXX yesterday asking me to come in because I have n't send them a payment. I just feel this associate took advantage because my credit rating is getting better and it 's taking me a while to accomplish that and now this person is going to XXXX it up as it were. I 've never done this ( good experience ) before probably because I do n't like doing this to people but I also do n't like being taking advantage off. I 'm XXXX years old, I 'm a Veteran, and live alone please consider my complaint it would be highly appreciated. XXXX XXXX.
