Complaint narrative:
I live off XXXX and about {$1000.00} a month part-time work. The company I work for does captions and subtitles. It 's run into financial troubles, so often the checks are late, and a couple of times the check has bounced. This month, I have about {$10.00} in my checking account with Bank Of America when I deposited this week 's check. Because of my employer 's prior history, they put a hold on the check over the weekend. Okay. But now they told me they are holding the check until XXXX XXXX! I called the boss, and he said the check had cleared his account on XXXX XXXX. I talked to customer service, and to someone at my branch, about why they were holding the check longer, and I never got an answer. My rent check will hit that account soon, and I will be in overdraft, with my credit card linked for the overdraft protection. But meanwhile, they have my paycheck. All they are accomplishing is forcing me to take, in effect, a payday loan. I will pay it with my check next week, plus interest. How else can this be understood?

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Beginning in XXXX, Navient cancelled a reduced rate discount on my account. I contacted XXXXOmbudsman to outline the facts, provide proof. Navient is wrong & intractable ( denies facts ). 

Since then I became unemployed & have filed Unemployment & Hardship Deferments, as well as a complaint letter to Navient & a form to consolidate all loans. Navient delays processing these items, is obscure about the process, & maintains a website that is difficult to navigate. 

I 'd like all benefits restored, all obligations bundled into one, & loan conditions and schedule that I can afford.

Complaint narrative:
I am very concern about the shortage of our escrow account being that the numbers does not add up. Please review the following for 2016 : Escrow Collected PMI Ins./Taxes Beg. Escrow Bal. : {$360.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$390.00} - {$160.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$390.00} - {$160.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$390.00} - {$160.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$390.00} - {$160.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$410.00} - {$160.00} - {$1100.00} ( Haz. Ins. ) XX/XX/XXXX {$410.00} - {$160.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$410.00} - {$150.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$410.00} - {$150.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$410.00} - {$150.00} - {$1300.00} ( county tax ) - {$1100.00} ( Haz. Ins ) + {$770.00} ( Haz. Ins returned ) Totals : + {$3900.00} - {$1400.00} - {$2800.00} - {$260.00} ( Escrow Bal. : ) I notice the numbers does not add up. On the last statement dated XX/XX/2016 there is a shortage of - {$1200.00}, this is before the {$770.00} ( haz Ins. ) was applied to escrow ( which it should have reflected by the XX/XX/XXXX but it got applied to principal ). Once subtract the {$770.00} the balance is - {$510.00}. Which still does not add up. Also the county taxes were paid at once ( annually ) when it should have been paid semiannually. Which would have avoided the shortage all together. Even on the Aggregate Escrow Analysis dated XX/XX/2016 it shows that the county taxes is to be paid in two installments. 

When I called on XX/XX/2016, I first spoke to XXXX I asked her for supervisor/manager so, I was transferred to XXXX. XXXX told me that they would run another Escrow Analysis and look into it. However if the company does not own up to its mistake and cover the shortage running the Escrow Analysis will only increase our mortgage.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I was just reading an article about how Navient has been accused of steering borrowers towards forbearance instead of income based repayment plans, and this is exactly what happened to me. It was only in hindsight after having a co-worker inform me about the income based repayment plans that I realized I had been misinformed that forbearance or deferment were my only options. I also see from this news article that Navient is denying those claims ; however, you can add me to the list of individuals that were taken advantage of in this fashion. I guess when the rules say that the interest is capitalized back onto the loan if you ca n't pay in full, it incentivizes the lender to maximize it 's profits? 
I graduated in XXXX XXXX and was told that my student loan payment would be around {$570.00} per month, and did not begin paying until XXXX XXXX after 2 years of forbearance and deferment. I kept trying to figure out how I was going to stretch out the maximum numbers of years that I was allowed to defer, as that was the only information I was given by this company.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an XXXX XXXX XXXX plan and I received a determination with all the pertinent info including a monthly payment of {$75.00}. It was an email to log on into Navient account website which I did and there I found all the information. I was out of town working at the time so I could n't copy it and get it into my computer to keep a record of it. I never recieved anything further from Navient until this month notifying me I am behind in payments. I went back to my Navient account page and the determination was gone and there was no change of payment, Navient saying I was behind at the rate of almost {$500.00} a month. There is also no record of the XXXX plan. I tried emailing them in response to their behind-in-payment email but they will not accept it. So now I am right back where I began last fall when I applied in the first place.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Attempted to modify loan back in XXXX, local branch manager only wanted to give a .5 % lower interest rate which did not make sense to pay settlement fees for .5 % lower rate. Bank encouraged to have loan go into " default '' for a lower interest rate modification. Would not respond to requests, written, in-person, etc. 2 years went by and over {$140000.00} in interest was tacked onto loan. We have attempted countless times to settle this. We spoke with the loan modification department XXXX XXXX, XXXX and were told the legal department would contact us within 20 days, here it is 5 months later and still nothing. Received a letter stating such to no avail. The last regular payment made was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We finally agreed to BofA terms in XXXX so that the property would not be taken from us. However, the interest on this loan should not be our responsibility since we attempted countless times for the loan to be modified. " Missing paperwork '', " paperwork not complete '' " missing documents '' etc. was always their answer. We were so frustrated with the lack of unprofessionalism and lack of response, that we agreed to something that was not fair. We have every single letter and call documented. This is the 2nd time filing with cfpb, the original request was closed because Bank of America stated that my mother and my fiance were not authorized to speak on my behalf however, I have written authorization from Bank of America giving them the permission to speak on my behalf.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I took out a student loan at XXXX XXXX. The school went under but I was still at that point obligated under the loan. I ended up filing a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy and received a discharge with the understanding that I would still be responsible for this loan. After the filing of the bankruptcy they refused to talk to me and reassigned the loan to my ex-wife who was co-signor on the loan. The student loan company has refused not only to talk to me ( because they claim I do n't have a loan with them ) but they also will not accept a payment. As this is my obligation my ex-wife could attempt to hold me in contempt of court. I am trying to figure out how I can pay my loan. The Credit Provider is Navient. I have on several occasion attempted to talk to them about this and there has been no resolution.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a bunch of private loans that I have been paying to XXXX and then to Navient since I graduated. All loans were taken out pretty much on a year basis. Now that I am repaying them I have yet to see my balance go down at all ( 8 years later ). My interest rates keep increasing. When I called I was told to enter the Forbearance program and even deferments. However, no one told me there would be interest and my payments would get even higher. In addition, they had processed a few payments over the years incorrectly and then charged me with " late fees '' and other fees added on top of my loan. I am currently paying {$860.00} a month. When I asked if I could release my co-signer they said no. No information on the process. I also got into a car accident in XXXX and XXXX with a doctors letter and received a handicap sticker for my car until XXXX. I was given no breaks in terms of paying my loan. If I did not pay, then they told me they were coming after everything I owed and my co-signer. So I continued to either stress to pay or enter in a forbearance. I was never explained the full details of entering into a " Private Loan ( s ) '' at the age of XXXX and never told that even your deferments/forbearance could run out. Which apparently mine has. They told me I am ineligible for anything else to help me and my situation. My dad had XXXX of the past year and I still had to come up with the payments. I have had my credit tarnished for years and they continued to raise my payments causing me to have to get behind a little but ALWAYS paying. I was told my loan because its a bunch of private loans can not be lowered and can go as high as {$2000.00} a month. Something I will not be able to afford. I did n't even know about the " Income Driven Repayment '' plan as they told me only what was available for private loans. I have n't seen my loan decrease since I got out of school yet my payments keep going up. At this rate I have another almost 25 years ( be in my XXXX ) until its paid off. I am complaining as I was not accurately informed of all of the above and then by the time they " changed their system '' and started informing you I was already out of options left to pay the full payment per month on auto-pay. Saving me nothing. I was also told I could not consolidate and nothing about forgiveness. I feel like I was lied to about all of the above and I want to know why my payments are not bringing my loan down.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: First National Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I had my old apartment stripped and robbed top to bottom along with the XXXX equipment and instead of inquiring with the police department like they were supposed to they sent the debt onto a collections agency charging me personally for the stolen equipment. 

I notified XXXX of this and they did n't care that someone had been charged and sentenced in the theft of their property they just want to blame me while blindfolded and ear-plugged to all reality. 

I think they just do n't care about their customers at all and its just quicker/easier to condemn the first name they see on their screens rather than investigating or contacting the customer. I never received any communications from XXXX alerting me to their internal decisions or reasoning. And without notification they ruined my credit by placing a collections for XXXX dollars. 

I will never be able to pay this amount nor should I legally be held liable for stolen property that a criminal has been charged and held responsible for by a court of law. If the government is unable to persuade you into doing what is right then I will find justice with my lawyers.
