Complaint narrative:
At XXXX on X/X/17, I got a phone call, asking me for detailed information on my identity. After that, the woman told me that I was behind on payments of 30 days. When I asked if it were 60, 90 or 120 days, she said no. I was then pressed when I would resolve the matter when I stated that I had not gotten a bill that month. I replied with " When I get a bill, I will send in a payment ''. She then said that I was not being cooperative and refused to answer. I repeated the answer, " when I get a bill, I will send in a payment. I do not know when a bill will be sent and I do not know when they will receive it. '' After my second reply, she became more hostile and aggressive with repeated, " you are refusing to answer the question and I 'll note that on your account ''. She further pressed me for a date and suggested next Friday, to which I said, sure, if I get the bill. Again, she said " you continue to refuse to answer the question '', to which I pointed out that she suggested a date and I agreed to it. Her hostile tone, nature of the call and continued badgering of my " refusal to commit to a date '' was enough to end the call. This was a hostile call with hostile intent and any other answer than a specific date that was acceptable to them was " refusal to answer the question ''. I contacted Comenity directly and requested a new bill be sent to me and explained the phone call. The woman on the other end was very apologetic, but insinuated that this is their standard practice. Any further phone calls of this nature will be met with a lawyer on my end.

Complaint narrative:
Gathered my free annual credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Went over information that was incorrect and called Experian to correct it. In the meantime I went over the inquires on my account, on my credit report the report shows no inquires that others can see, on Experian the report shows XXXX inquires that Experian and other creditors could see. I asked why it was only showing on their end, customer service rep said he did n't know, I asked to speak with a supervisor and asked the same question but they did n't. I asked if they could remove them from the system and the supervisor said although you can not see them, they will remain. The supervisor thought that there was an issue with the website I was on, she then asked me to look up my report on the Experian website, I did as such and it showed the same, no inquires. Supervisor said there is nothing we can do..

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I 'm a co-borrower to 4 student loans for my daughter. The interest on the loans keep going up, therefore, my payments continue going up. I pay over {$800.00} each month. The balance is over {$100000.00} and it does n't appear to get any smaller. I have called them in different occasions and they state there is nothing they can do, and that the interest will keep going up. Currently the two largest loans are at over 7 % interest rate. A smaller one is at over 4 %, and I paid in full the fourth loan I had over 9 % interest rate. They told me to put my loans on automatic payments and that it would keep the interest rate low. I did that but the interest rate keeps climbing. I have been paying these loans for about 8 years and the balance is pretty much still the same. Please help

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2017 I increased my direct draft amount from the min monthly pmt to the next whole {$100.00} 's to add a little bit on the principle payment each month. On XXXX first the larger payment was drafted from my checking account and has successfully drafted on the XXXX and XXXX each month since ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX an employee miss applied one of those drafts as a payment all on principle. Since that time the company has called me several times at the beginning of the month and around the XXXX of the month to notify me that my mortgage payment is late. The phone calls began onXX/XX/XXXX. I worked with the caller on the XXXX to identify what the problem was and was told that the error was on their part and that they would fix the application of that payment on XX/XX/XXXX and there would be no further action needed by me. Then XX/XX/XXXXcame and so did more late payment collection calls. Again I went round and round with the customer service department and called back several times the first week in XXXX to get this resolved. I thought it was done until the calls started again on XX/XX/XXXX. Again I explained the problem, the rep looked at the acct history and again I was assured that the problem would be fixed. The XXXX calls actually started on XX/XX/XXXX this time and I was assured by several customer service reps and supervisors that the issue would be resolved, they had expedited the problem up the chain of command and the rep would call me back on Monday to update me on the progress of the resolution. It is now Thursday,XX/XX/XXXX and the rep will not take my calls and when another rep asked her for an update she told them that she did n't have anything to tell me yet so she did n't need to actually speak to me. I have a letter datedXX/XX/XXXX, the day after I was assured the problem would be resolved, stating that my payment is late and " As required by law, we may report .... to the credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. '' This problem and " late payment '' is not my fault and it is just shy of 2 months since the company miss applied my payment causing me to be late. I need help to get this resolved please.
