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

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my credit score with top three agency 's was XXXX. The score is always around XXXX to XXXX depending on the day for the past 3 years. 

On XX/XX/XXXX Navient reported to the credit bureaus that the student loan was 120 days late which dropped my score XXXX points. I was devastated when I saw this change to my score. I recently had to move my Mom in due to the pandemic, because my other sibling lost his job and they all moved in with me. My Mom has hard time climbing the steps to enter the house. I am being denied a home improvement loan because of this drop. I contacted Navient about the payments and asked them if they could remove the late payment from my credit report. I also asked if there was a payment plan that would allow me to pay less than the {$800.00} a month that was due. The first thing the representative suggested was a forbearance agreement, I didn't want to use this as a result to remedy the situation, but was told it was the only way to bring the account current and would give me 3 months to catch up and be able to start making payments. 
I then asked why was the payment reported as late, when according to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website states that Federal student loan repayments were on pause for interest and payments until XX/XX/XXXX so how was the payment late. 
The rep told me that was for Private loans only, I told her to please check that because I was just on the site and it's in bold letters that repayments were on hold until XX/XX/XXXX, so how can this be reported to the credit bureau as late. I asked to have it removed from my credit report and was told this was impossible as the credit bureau is the one he placed the late payment. We went back and forth until I hung up and called back and spoke with another rep. The next rep talked about a repayment plan that would lower the payment to half and start on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her the same question about having it removed so I could qualify for a home improvement loan to make the changes to my house for a ramp, for my elderly mom to access the home. 
She told me the same thing that the credit bureau would have to remove the late payment, I argued that it should have not been reported late, when the XXXX deadline for the pause on payments have not occurred. 
I gave up until today. 
Please help me

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received an undated letter by US Mail on XX/XX/XXXX, from Cardmember Service ( Elan Financial Services for Fidelity Investments ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ND XXXX. 

" To keep your [ Fidelity Visa ] card open, make at least one purchase by XX/XX/XXXX. '' ( [ sic ] XXXX of last year ) Elan Financial contacted me only by regular US Mail ; they admitted not attempting to send email nor call me by telephone before cancelling my Visa account. ( They certainly have all my contact information through Fidelity. ) The actual Fidelity Visa credit card shows its expiration date as XX/XX/XXXX, but the account was closed by Elan Financial last year because I had not made a purchase in 24 months. I have had this same card since XXXX with a {$31000.00} credit limit ; I used it for emergencies ( life events ). There were certainly longer prior periods of disuse, so theirs can only be a brand new policy. 

I spoke with Elan financial Services on Sunday XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke with Fidelity Investments on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. Because I was not able to respond to their paper letter within 30 days, Elan Financial refuses to reopen the account nor will they agree to issue a new Visa card with the same credit limit. The only path forward they offer is to reapply for a credit card, with no guarantee of achieving the same credit limit. 

This is not merely an inconvenience. I have depended on this card to pay for things like a funeral and a cemetery plot ; things in life you can't plan for. Elan has rendered me insolvent, and has negatively impacted my credit rating. Further, Elan Financial closed this Visa account without my authorization, even though my several other Fidelity accounts were active.

Complaint narrative:
Greetings, I am having an issue with FedLoan Service regarding my PSLF certification forms. I have been with the XXXX XXXX since XXXX and ever since I started making payments on my student loans on time. Under the new and revised PSLF program, I am way qualified for a student loan cancellation after more that 10 years of service with the XXXX XXXX Here is the problem, I submitted my application with FedLoan for PSLF way back in XXXX. 
I never heard anything until last XX/XX/XXXX after I called them requesting status of my application. Then they told me that one of my XXXXXXXX employer missed a signature on the form. I responded to them why I was never been informed for the past 3 years for the lack of signature from a previous employer. They asked to resubmitted another PSLF certification form. After I contacted the previous employer numerous times without any answer. I filled the form and checked the box # 3 stating that I was unable to get my previous employer. I signed the form and I uploaded in FedLoan system. 
I called FedLoan last week and first spoke with a customer service agent name XXXX. He was very nice and diplomatic. He advised me to upload copies of my W-2s for the employer in question. I needed to obtain W-2s from XXXX until XXXX. 
After I made numerous phone calls to the IRS and SSA, I found out that IRS and SSA does not keep copies of W-2s. 99.9 % of tax payers usually filed electronically therefore they can only provide TAX TRANSCRIPTS for previous years. Additionally, tax payers are legally liable to keep records of their tax return for up to 7 years. That take me way out of that 7 years period because I need tax records from XXXX to XXXX. 
I called back FedLoan and spoke with a customer service representative named XXXX. I tried to explain to XXXX that IRS and SSA can not and will not provide W-2s dated back XXXX to XXXX. However, I can get a certified copy of my tax transcripts for those years since I can not get my previous employer to sign the PSLF certification forms. XXXX insisted that I send or upload copies of my W-2s. He continued by making a smart comment : FedLoan does not make the rules, if I need to submit tax transcripts, I will meet contact Congress to make law for that.

I found this very strange to see that FedLoan Services refuse to accept IRS tax Transcripts in lieu of W-2s while Citizens can get a mortgage or open a business by submitting their tax transcripts during the application process to the US banking system. US banks require tax transcripts during a mortgage application why cant FedLoan Service accept Tax Transcripts as well. 

I am under the impression that FedLoan is putting barriers and preventing borrowers to finalise their PSLF certification before the deadline this year. Please look into the matter.
