Complaint narrative:
In the last 10 years i 've had a couple of wild things happen to my credit but today I 'm complaining to this extent bc I 've reached my patience threshold. Noticed a tax lien ( lol ) and large collections for some credit cards ... thought maybe it was a mistake and perhaps it was because of a name mix up with the bureaus no.. this is simply what happens when your company is based solely on trying to charge for services instead of focusing on the families that rely heavily on their credit scores. Enough ranting, I did attempt to contact XXXX but no luck and nothing came from disputing directly so I feel like i 'm running out of options. Im attaching some required documents per one of the govt sites i 've been to. thank you for taking the time to hear me go on.

Complaint narrative:
So XXXX is reporting negatively on my credit report. Got in contact with TransUnion and told them that this company is n't to be trusted due to the inconsistency with this account. I filed a complaint with CFPB case number # XXXX against XXXX. on XX/XX/2016 they finally responded on XX/XX/2016 stating that they need a few more days. Today XX/XX/2016 is the 61 day and they have yet to respond. I want this account removed from my credit profile immediately. I do n't have another 60 days for the credit bureau to reinvestigate. Everything that they need will be uploaded with this complaint. If the credit bureau ca n't get this item removed within 15 days of receipt of this complaint I have no other choice but to file litigation against them.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion has a hard inquiry on my credit report from XXXX XXXX. I informed them that XXXX XXXX was only doing identity verification and not a credit application. I have attempted to do the dispute with Transunion online twice but was unable get the correct options to go through. I called Transunion customer service to dispute over the phone. They said I needed to get a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that it was not a credit application and fax it to their offices. I secured the requested documents and faxed them as instructed on XXXX XXXX 2015. I called XXXX XXXX 2015 to get a status and was given the same instruction over again because they did n't see anything. That was my 3rd attempt.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I reported the unethical manner in which a law firm/collection agency obtained a judgment for their client. The reference number for this case is XXXX, ( still under investigation as of today 's date ) within this complaint I detailed how this process will greatly harm me and my family. Well just like I proposed in my complaint -- the three reporting credit agency included this information on my credit reports as of XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score has decreased 35 points. I am requesting again that this agency intervened in this process, upon reviewing my previous submitted complaint you will find that I reference my concerns as it pertains to my credit report and how this information will affect my credit score.

I have submitted documents sent to Transunion via certified mail return receipt over 30 days ago. I have call this company in reference to this matter several times. The FCRA permissible purpose section, states that creditors must report the reason for file review of consumer credit report such as ; auto loan, credit card, line of credit, charge card, mortgage and etc. Aside from the following inquiries being re-inserted back on my credit report after deletion. The inquiries does not state the reason for file review. Therefore they have no just cause for remaining on my credit file.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I decided to switch income-based repayment plans after consolidating my loans, as the new REPAYE plan would mean a lower payment. My student loans are from XXXX - XXXX University - and XXXX - University XXXX XXXX XXXX. The application asks if the borrower 's loans are in forbearance, and I answered " no. '' This is because, when I applied, my loans were not in forbearance. 
As part of the application to switch income-based repayment plans, however, borrowers may request a one-month forbearance. The reason is that borrowers in an income-based repayment plan must be in standard repayment for at least one month before switching plans, and they may not be able to afford a standard repayment plan payment for that one month. 
I requested the one-month special forbearance. 
FedLoan Servicing, my loan servicer, denied my request for a new repayment plan because I answered " no. '' They approved my special forbearance first, and then because my loans were in forbearance when they processed the new income-based repayment application, they denied the request for answering wrong on that question. 
When I called, the customer service specialist said this was a common issue, and I had to submit a new application answering " yes '' on that question. 
I think this is misleading and unfair to borrowers. When they answer the question, they are answering correctly when they say " no, '' as the loans are not in forbearance at that time. To deny for that reason alone, automatically, and to force reapplication is unduly burdensome.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I contacted SunTrust Mortgage about paying off my house on XXXX/XXXX/16. I spoke to XXXX and was told I would need to stop automatic payments from my checking account.. I asked her to please do so and she said it was taken care of. She then told me to write a check for the full amount of {$1300.00} and if I wanted to, add a bit more to cover interest for the few days it would take for the check to arrive at SunTrust. She instructed me to include my name and account number. I followed these instructions and sent in my check and paperwork the next day. 
When I did n't hear from them by XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX and she told me they had closed the account the previous day. That they were sending my escrow plus over a thousand dollars in addition to that. I questioned why I would be getting over a thousand back and she said that they had taken a regular house payment out through automatic payment at my bank that very day. The day AFTER they had closed my account. 
I told her that XXXX had said that automatic payment had been cancelled on XXXX XXXX. She said that apparently it had n't been done. I asked that the money be placed back into my account as it caused me to be unable to pay some of my other bills to have that money gone. She said her supervisor XXXX XXXX wanted me to send a copy of my bank statement to prove that they had withdrawn the money. Although they just told me they had done so, they now wanted me to prove it. I sent a picture to XXXX showing that page of my bank account. I received a message from XXXX the next day saying that XXXX now wanted a hard copy of that statement and that XXXX would call me later that day to take care of my account. That was XXXX and I 've not heard from them since. 
Today, XXXX, I have called twice and requested to talk to XXXX and been told she will call me back. That was 3 hours ago. 
I told them the first day when they said they took the extra payment that it would cause me hardship paying my bills and that I would hold them accountable for any fines or charges I received as a result of their mistake. I was told that they were going to mail me that check and the escrow money within 15 days. Rather than credit it back into my account that day as I requested. I feel like I am getting the run around and that I am being penalized for their employees error. I know we all make mistakes, not a big deal. But their failure to rectify this in a timely manner is why I am contacting you. Can you please help me?

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I was notified in XXXX that the mortgage payment ( {$500.00} ) I paid, XXXX XXXX for the XXXX XXXX due date had not been credited to my loan and was being " held ''. Apparently, my monthly payment was increased ( due a requested review of my escrow ) to account for potential shortage. I did not receive information explaining the increase from {$490.00} to {$590.00} before paying the historical amount. Once notified, I requested to have additional information sent, inquired into whether a credit bureau mark had taken place and requested that the {$500.00} being held be credited to the account as appropriate. I then set up the additional {$100.00} payment to be dispersed ( XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) as well as paying the XXXX XXXX payment due ( {$600.00} ), which I was informed was going to be the new payment moving forward. 
Since completing, I have received XXXX calls, that I now view as harassing in nature, in which Suntrust Mortgage is claiming I owe an additional {$490.00} ( on top of most likely late fees charged in error ). I do not agree with these tactics, as I 've not failed to meet the standards outlined within my contract. I pay my mortgage every month, the required amount and have been more than willing to adjust as needed. 
As of now, should Suntrust Mortgage fail to update and correct their records on file, should I incur any form of negative impact from their inabilities, I will seek legal counsel.

Complaint narrative:
I have had a continual problem with my current mortgage company year after year attempting to force outrageous homeowners insurance on me, while have had continuous good coverage with XXXX. Come tomorrow I will be contacting my State Insurance Commissioner and the CFPB to determine if it is XXXX or Suntrust Mortgage which is responsible and/or co-responsible for my last three years of TORMENT BY FRIVOLOUS & IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL THREAT. 
For the last three years I have made calls to XXXX XXXX to change my mortgage supplier to Suntrust Mortgage, Loan : XXXX All three years I made calls to Suntrust Mortgage to get automatic exchange of information. They said it was MY problem and refused to contact XXXX for any updates. 
I have years in a row spoken with XXXX staff to HAVE THIS CHANGED ON THE DECLARATIONS PAGE. YOU HAVE THUS FAR REFUSED TO DO SO YEAR AFTER YEAR. Each year I GET FINANCIAL THREATS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE TO TRANSFER MY MORTGAGE HOLDER. 
I DID NOT REQUEST A CHANGE IN MORTGAGE HOLDING. IT WAS DONE WITHOUT ANY REQUEST BY ME!!! 
XXXX or XXXX of you incompetent financial companies is responsible for my distress. What if I was on vacation or in the hospital for a couple weeks. I WOULD HAVE BEEN ILLEGALLY SADDLED WITH AN EXPENSIVE AND SUPERFLUOUS HOMEOWNERS POLICY. 
Suntrust says I am responsible to provide the missing information, but they bought the mortgage from XXXX XXXX with nary but a XXXX paragraph letter after the purchase fact. 
XXXX year after year will call Suntrust ( after I have provided the phone number ), but never changes the Mortgage Holder on the Declarations page, causing this to be a repeating CATCH-22 financial threat. I need to know which party or both are responsible for what I believe to be an illegal financial threat and potential immediate illegal action against me. 
PS. GOD BLESS XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Fedloan is trying to collect for loans against me that have no master promissory notes. Years worth of loans they say I owe, but they have no records of promissory notes for. 

I 've repeatedly asked for documentation that those loans are actually mine, and they referred me to my school. The XXXX fifth time I made the request for documentation, they sent me a fraud packet. Fedloan said my only option is to declare fraud. 

I think they are trying to collect on loans that I never agreed to. I do n't know if it was the school that made the error, or Fedloan, but there are tens of thousands of dollars in loans I never signed promissory notes for, and I get nowhere when I try to get answers.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My loan repayment, on XXXX, was recalculated by Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency for the year and they did not include my wife 's loan in their calculation causing a much higher amount to be deducted than necessary. My student loan payment for my loan jumped from {$260.00} to {$670.00}. The amount they debited however in XX/XX/XXXX was {$810.00}. My wife 's loan increased from {$190.00} to {$420.00}. This increase was due to a failure on my part to confirm her updated yearly certification. I received one email and no reminders from Dept. of Ed. to finish the process. This difference of {$800.00} is significant. I 'm working XXXX jobs to try and keep my head above water. My salary as a federal attorney has lost ground when compared to health insurance premium increases and property tax increases in XXXX County, MD. I work part time on the weekends at XXXX XXXX, but that additional income only increases the amount I 'm expected to pay on my student loan, creating a vicious feedback cycle. I 've recently taken a XXXX job as a part time tribal judge. With a XXXX child XXXX, XXXX XXXX not counting my work hours at XXXX towards XXXX status, this expected but wrongly calculated increase has severely cramped our budget for the month. 

I also have a hard time understanding their PLSF calculation. I was hired at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Their calculation says I have 95 payments to go. I have been making loan payments, when not in school, since I worked for the XXXX. I will have 13 years of federal service in XX/XX/XXXX. At what point does the ten year forgiveness kick in?
