Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: ECMC GROUP, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Good Evening : In XXXX, I went through a separation and subsequent divorce. My student loans at the time were financed through ECMC. I requested to make partial payments until I was financially stable again and was told that I had to make full payments or my loans would go into default. I could not afford full payments at the time. Through the separation and divorce, I was forced to file for XXXX XXXX bankruptcy. I made 5 years of monthly payments, which included regular payments to my student loans. Despite payments going to the student loans, I was not given credit for these payments. My loans remained in default and very sizeable default fees and interest accrued. I contacted ECMC about this matter and was told this was policy and federal law. Upon finishing up my 5 years of bankruptcy payments ( all of which were on time ), I was told by ECMC that if I made 9 consecutive monthly payments, that my loans would be taken out of default. They then would begin to work with me to waive the default fees and interest accrued. After my 9th payment was made, my loan was sold to XXXX. Nothing was waived, adjusted, etc. My loans that were {$56000.00} are now {$110.00}, 000. XXXX is attempting to set me up on a payment plan of over {$800.00} a month for 30 years. According to their calculations, this will have me paying {$280000.00} upon completion of this payment plan. That is over 5 times the amount of my student loan amount. I attempted to contact ECMC on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the fee and interest waivers, but I was bounced around to 3 different people, who provided me with a total of 6 telephone numbers to call. I have read multiple articles on XXXX and their deceptive practices. I am fearful of what my student loans will turn into through this company after the previous inflations.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Experian : Every time I dispute something they lower my score, while the others raise it. They have incorrectly disputed items and companies I did not select ; and they're the only one of the three. They dont take my card holder status on a XXXX XXXX account into the utilization ratios, and theyre dinging me for old bad debt that was charged off and sold to unscrupulous collection agencies that were found at fault and removed quite some time ago from all three reporting agencies. Their reporting patterns are arbitrary and inconsistent. They are clearly blacklisting me ... theyre the only company I can not contact easily and say this or that doesnt add up, and if correct, have it adjusted. 

And XXXX ... theyre application system dropped my application twice, they admitted, dinged me with hard inquiries, denied me credit, and then refused to remove the erroneous inquiries due to the i system failures. 

XXXX, I called them and their collection department several times, and could NEVER get a call back, when I did reach a person, they would it accept money from me to settle the account ; they passed me off to another department that sent me back to the original department I came from, and then was rendered back into automated XXXX, left yet another message for the account manager, which never gets returned. But yet, they suddenly updated my report for 20 some odd months of Charge Off status when there wasnt any updates over those months and then plummeted my score again. 

What is wrong with these people? It takes a certain type to ruin people ; to be in a role to make everyone as whole as possible, yet behave in ways that are contrary to the espoused theories. 

Im beyond frustrated with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. I have absolutely NO recourse other than to suffer, or spend all my time, far more than the countless hours I already have, to keep calling, using online forms and writing, in hopes of finally reaching a bright and intelligent individual capable of reading and applying logic, able to feel and reach within the human aspects of the self, and ALSO has a modicum of clout. Good. Luck.

Consumer complaint received 2019-09-19 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was recently sold effective XX/XX/19 from XXXX XXXX to LoanCare ( " XXXX   XXXX  XXXX '' ) and I was informed there is a 60 day grace period for me to pay my mortgage to LoanCare. Despite the grace period, I have received physical mail at least four times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ( maybe I have misplaced other mailings ) ) from LoanCare saying my payment was late. All this mail is obnoxious considering I know I have the grace period, but might be distressing to someone else who is confused by the fact that the company has sent so many notices. I have made the payment now, and would have set it up before the due date, although their website would not allow me to set up the payment earlier. I suspect these mailings are not illegal, but want to make the complaint in case there is grounds for reprimanding Loancare.

I securely paid using XXXX XXXX for the gift card addressed to myself digitally with a serial number and yet again google prompts me to upload an image of the Digital gift card, receipt of purchase, and a picture of my ID in which I immediately do again. 

On my previous complaint to the CFPB # XXXX which took close to 3 weeks to resolve on behalf of Google. 

Google had tied up my money and didnt allow me to use my gift card for purchases. I received a Bureaucratic runaround and no evident action was being taken. 

I called and spoke to XXXX I had explained this matter is happening now for the 3rd time & was asked to wait it out like the last time then given Google Support Inquiry : Case ID [ XXXX ] which only addressed a separate issue which is Googles fraud prevention department locking up my credit/debit card purchases not even acknowledging the gift card situation. 

I dont want to have to go through this again as this department is not able to be directly contacted as well as unresponsive, Please assist.

Company: Bayside Credit
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Bayside credit repossesed my car last year because two checks bounced and the day they found out they reposssesed my car. They said they called me first, but did not. It cost me XXXX $ to get my car back two days later. I dont see how this is legal and if it isnt then they should be held responsible and held up to whatever the law says to be the consequences. 

Then 1week ago they put on my credit report that my account is closed. I still owe them XXXX $ and have made every payment on time. It also says that I have never been late on a payment and my account is in good standing. This company, especially the guy named XXXX or XXXX in the collections department has threatened me over the phone with repossession numerous time and have called my family members and people not on my reference sheet. I know this is illegal. I would like Bayside credit to rectify the mark on my credit report and if they have broken the law I would like them to be held to the penalties afforded by the law.
