Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
IC systems has been repeatedly calling my phone number provided in previous questions and have informed me of having a file placed with them by a health provider and have asked me to confirm my information, they then give me a partial address and ask if this is correct, I ask what it is regarding and they refuse to answer my questions, they then kept pushing for my personal information such as social security number- I do not give it until I can verify what IC systems is calling about- they then repeat that they wont discuss the " file '' until I provide personal information, I then ask what exactly it is regarding and that I will not volunteer that information until I am provided a reason for their call, they then hang up on me and will not answer my questions. This feels like an absolute scam in refusing to discuss the reason for their call until I provide personal information. They say the file originated from a health care provider, however we have no outstanding balances anywhere.

Complaint narrative:
Due to us filing previous class action suits request on behalf of ourselves and other consumers like us. XXXX XXXX Bank of America purposely targeted us due to our XXXX and filed a foreclosure on our home and dual tracked us while in a current active workout with them. XXXX XXXX Bank of America has bullied, harassed and retaliated against us for multiple years and purposefully strung the workout out on a modification agreement with us for a year while we made payments to find out if S.J. 47 would pass or not. Therefore, we are requesting that all of our class action complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Arizona Attorney General be grandfathered. 
S.J. 47 states : " Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to Arbitration Agreements " This joint resolution nullifies a rule submitted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB XXXX regarding arbitration agreements. 
( The rule regulates the use of arbitration agreements in contracts for specific consumer financial products and services. It prohibits the use of a predispute arbitration agreement to prevent a consumer from filing or participating in certain class action suits. The rule also requires consumer financial product and service providers to furnish the CFPB with particular information regarding arbitrations. ) ''

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it may concern, I am writing to file a complaint about Navient, the student loan servicing company. 

I have had a lot of trouble over the past few years with this company and their practices. Their incompetence and unprofessional behavior has made it difficult to properly pay off student loans without calling back again and again over months to make sure the payment is applied correctly. Consumers should not have to babysit their financial servicing company, call back every week, for weeks on end, and make sure the thousands of dollars they just spent to pay off a student loan is applied correctly to the loan. 

Navient has also made it impossible for me to sign up for an automatic payment program on my private student loan, which is eligible for a 0.50 % interest rate reduction once signed up. I have been trying to get someone to help me sign up for 2 years XXXX it does n't work with their online dashboard ). They have documentation about my attempts to sign up for this as far back as XXXX XXXX. Many ( not all ) of the customer service staff are rude, have a very poor attitude and are insulting when calling to ask for help. 

I have begun calling Navient again to get signed up for this automatic payment so I may reduce my interest rates. This morning I have spoken with 6 different people, all of whom transfer me to the next department to essentially pass me on to someone else. A previous research investigation about the .50 % interest rate reduction was closed with no result, and no contact from Navient. 

Additionally, as I attempt to pay my loans off so I do not have to deal with this company again - I am reminded at how poor their website and dashboard system is. After making a {$500.00} principal payment to a loan, I received no email confirmation. There is no record of it online in the online dashboard management or account over the phone. The response is to wait 48 hours and call back. I find this to be unacceptable in this day and age. 

Finally, the organization of this company terrible. Upon calling to service my account, I can not speak with one person about my private and federal student loans. Employees have only 1/2 of the information to help you. The endless transfer back and forth between the split office, and to the collections department for payment, is deplorable. Each office works with different software, computer systems and information and as a result can not help you in a single phone call. 

Any entity that must transfer you between 3 departments over 90 minutes of being on hold in order to set up a single automatic payment clearly has major problems. This is not the type of organization that should be servicing hundreds of billions in debt. 

Thanks for listening

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Three months ago I received notification from Citicard that they were going to cancel my credit card because I already was making payments on another card that 's been closed. I was not late on either card. Two months ago I thought I had made an online payment to Citicard to pay my bill for the month. It did not go through somehow and when I went to check on the bill, I found it was n't paid and I called XXXX to see if they would waive the fee. They said they had already waived the fee and they could not do it. I asked them since they were closing the account anyways if they could just roll over the amount due, to the balance that I was already paying on and they said they could not and that I would have to pay two separate accounts. I was not ok with paying two separate accounts, so knowing that I would pay off the balance by XXXX XXXX, was not too concerned since the account is closed. Well Citi has not stopped calling me XXXXVERYDAY 1 - 6 times EVERYDAY!! I 'm not sure what they think they are going to gain by calling me so many times a day but this is NOT ok. No one should be harrassed by a creditor so much. And it 's not like I owe {$50000.00} or something like that. I just want the calls to stop and the opportunity to pay off the balance.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Capital One took over for the XXXX card I have been a member since XXXX. Since then I have paid my bill online and not had a problem I sign on to my account once a year to pay the membership dues that is due. I called today because I know that my membership was due for XXXX and I paid my past due amount and then was transferred to the technical support to reset my password. I was then asked the questions that a credit card company ask what is my name and the other privacy question then to be told that they could not reset or send an email to give me access to my account. The person I spoke with at Capital One name was XXXX and her employee ID was XXXX she explained to me that she was a floor supervisor and was not able to help me that she could transfer me and that person still would not be able to help me. I explained to XXXX that I am in the Military and that I constantly move around that is why I have my fathers address as the mailing address. My father is currently XXXX miles away from me and also out of the country. She explained to me this is Capital one 's policy that they can not help or reset my password without the account number. So I explained to her how can I do that if I am not even around my father 's address and I am constantly moving around and that is the point of me sending my mail to my father 's address. The point is that I had to close my account with capital one due to this inconvenience to a service member being away. Something needs to be done about this I pay my bills online and that 's how I have done it.

Complaint narrative:
Speedy Cash stopped the payday loans and changed to the installment loans which are more expensive. They told me that Mississippi doesnt allow payment plans. If your payment is due on a certain day they could move it up by 4 days but it doesnt help if that 4th day is not a payday. I have paid so many overdraft and bank fees until I feel ashame and stupid. I needed the money but once you get it its hard to get rid of it. I dont understand whats hard about reasonable payment arrangements. Your 4 day extension is not realistic to customers.
