Complaint narrative:
I took out XXXX XXXX XXXX plus loans, which now are Navient, while attending XXXX University XXXX. I consolidated all my federal loans with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, through XXXX and they have been fantastic. I am in the Public Loan Forgiveness program through XXXX and tried to add my XXXX XXXX XXXX plus loans or Navient loans and Navient refused to add them. They told XXXX that these were private loans. Navient has not only refused to add these loans to my forgiveness program, but they have also refused to lower my payment. They have kept me in forbearance for a long time. Each time I have had to pay {$50.00} per loan to keep them in forbearance. I also receive robocalls at least seven times a day. All of the actions on the lawsuit against them, I have experienced. They raised my interest rate and have added a substantial amount to my loans. I will be attaching all the documents from Navient as well as my credentials for Public loan Forgiveness. Thank you for any help you can give me. They will not work with me.

Complaint narrative:
Bank or America made an error. On XX/XX/2017 I was to receive a deposit from the VA. It showed as a deposit alright however, it had a negative sign attached to it. Which left my account negative and over drawn. I called and was told that the deposit shows as negative because it had n't posted yet. Well, the next day it still had n't changed and this time it read " error. '' I called and was told that they would have it corrected within 15 days. On XX/XX/2017 my other deposit from the BA hit as a positive leaving my account with less than five dollars. I kept in touch with the bank and talked to a handful of people including a bank manager. I am still waiting for them to fix the issue. In the meantime I have gone back to paper checks which take longer and I am going to have to cash them a different way because I do n't trust Bank of America. I went to the bank yesterday and they said that the VA has to basically release the funds all over again and that is what they are waiting on. Once that is fixed they have to submit a ticket for the next check and the overdraft fees. I was not given another time line for that. I lost my home and have had to move into a friend 's house because the Bank owes me over 3,000 dollars.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX later to become Navient held both federally insured student loans for my XXXX and XXXX. 

From approximately XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX I was involuntarily unemployed. XXXX advised I could go into forbearance and did not offer a hardship deferment as an option. The result was an exponential increase in my debt by accumulating interest charges. 

In about XX/XX/XXXX I consolidated all of my debt with the DOE to qualify for ICR repayment and later public service forgiveness. I spoke to the DOE Ombuds Office who said they understood the situation but could not do anything as the issue was with XXXX/Navient. They suggested I reach out to your office.

A few years ago my private student loans came due with Navient/XXXX. At that time XXXX with the company had a total payment amount of XXXX a month and XXXX I was barely making the XXXX to afford my rent and utilities while having to utilize food stamps to actually eat. When I called to ask about the possibility of getting on an income based payment plan and consolidating the loans to a suitable payment system and I was told that I should apply for government assistance on housing so my rent money could cover the loans. When I told them that I could not do that I was told that I was out of luck because my particular loans do not allow for Income Based Repayment. They have since increased the balance on my loans to close to twice of what they were and sent them to a subsidiary collection company that they own. And even after filling bankruptcy I still can not a health payment plan that does n't take every penny I earn thus making me homeless because I ca n't pay rent.

Company: Medical Business Bureau
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have received several collection calls from Medical Business Bureau ( " MBB '' ), alleging that I owe {$150.00} for medical services rendered on XX/XX/XXXX. The most recent call was on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. According to MBB 's representative, this debt is associated for the medical services of XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I have called the doctor 's office, but they do not have a record of services rendered. In fact, the office claims that the doctor was not with the practice in XXXX. I have requested a verification of debt from MBB, but they have not produced one. I expressed all my concerns to MBB representatives, but they do not have answers, nor do they care. 

MBB is, however, reporting negative information on my credit reports, which is impeding my ability to obtain credit. 

MBB is also not following the requirements of the FDCPA. I never received notice of the debt as required by 15 USC 1692g. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I faxed a dispute and requested a verification of the debt -- that letter is attached. MBB has failed to produce anything in response. But the phone calls have stopped -- perhaps because the proof does not exist. 

I am requesting that MBB cease all collection efforts and remove any negative information from my credit reports. I would like confirmation that this information has been removed.

Wakefield & Associates sent a notice for a XXXX bill for a XXXX - which is NOT my name. My wife called and explained that this is not my name and not my bill. 
Several months later, we received another bill. This time, my wife sent a letter to Wakefield, as well as the Attorney General of both Missouri ( where we live ) and Colorado ( where they 're located ) explaining again that this is not my bill and to prove it was. 
Wakefield responded to the Attorney General of Missouri on XX/XX/XXXX that they had gone back to the original creditor and determined that this was n't, in fact, my bill so they would close the account in my name. 
My wife checks our credit often and, when she checked my credit on XX/XX/XXXX, realized that I had a collections account added to my credit report - from Wakefield & Associates and the bill was now {$49000.00} ( it started at {$25000.00} ). This is, of course, AFTER Wakefield told the Attorney General they were closing the file in my name and yet, now it 's on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, Im writing to express the difficult transition in the transfer of my private student loan from XXXX to FirstMark Services. I have been paying this account since XX/XX/XXXX, without falling behind on my payments. I had been using an online account to make these payments. As of XX/XX/XXXX my loan was no longer being serviced by XXXX, which I just found out XX/XX/XXXX and immediately paid the entire amount past due. 

During this transition I never spoke with either party that this was happening. Never receiving anything in the mail or by phone. I did search and find several emails from FirstMark services in my junk folder after I had discovered there was a transfer. The website I had been using to make payments ( XXXX ) has/had no messages informing me of this transition. I discovered what had transpired by contacting XXXX on the phone because I have been unable to make payments via website or automated phone system. When trying to make payments on the account it displayed there is no minimum payments due. I should have called sooner to investigate the disapearance of my loan, and for a few months I just assumed that I was ahead of my payment schedule which is why there was no minimum due. 

After calling around finding the new location of my loan I was informed that I was only days away from defaulting on a $ XXXX/month loan that I 've never missed payment on prior to this transition. 

I hope there is someway to fight the late payments filed to creditors since I work very hard to my debts and maintain a healthy credit score. Thank you for your time.

Complaint narrative:
I fell behind on my mortgage due to my husband illness and unable to work. He finally was approved for XXXX and we were able to make our XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and late charge payment. We paid two months a head being that his XXXX check was not going to be relieved until XX/XX/XXXX which would allow me to make XX/XX/XXXX payment on time. I spoke to a representative to make sure they quoted me the correct amount to do so. I also requested an escrow analysis being that my escrow account was not setup correctly. My solar payment was supposed to be added as of XX/XX/2016 for XXXX and was not. The rep advise to save the difference in should be paying every month so that when I receive the escrow analysis it would not be a surprise. I then made my payment for {$7800.00} to cover XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX payment via XXXX. I followed up two days after to make sure it was applied correctly but it wasn'the the money was received but not applied. I spoke to representative who got her manager involve to request the payments to be applied. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and the automatic system show XX/XX/XXXX payment due. I requested to speak to a live rep who was not able to assist me and transfered me to an account manager. I explained to the account manager my call would probably drop and ask if he can call me back if the call dropped. He said he 'll try. The call drop and no one called me back. I called again and asked to speak to a manager and was transferred to another rep namedo XXXX. I explained the entire story again to XXXX. XXXX said payments were applied to XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and the rest to escrow shortage. I told him that was not how we made the payment and not what we were told would happen. He then told me he was not a supervisor and he supervisor can request to reverse the payment but my monthly payment would increase. I explained to him that I am aware that the payment would increase as now there is a solar payment added to my I 'm pounds and that why I requested the escrow analysis in the 1st place to have my I 'm pounds reflect the additional payment. I requested to speak with his supervisor. He then said he 'd spoke to her and allowed him to transfer the call. He transferred the call but after the 1st ring tone the call went to voice last name XXXX. I am very frustrated with the way my account is being handled and how I was being mislead. I fell behind due to uncontrollable sercumstances and all I want is to fix my account but no one seems to be professional enough to do so
