Company: ALLIANT CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
It is indeed unfortunate that I need to submit this complaint for a third time. 

The company involved ( Alliant ) provides anonymous responses authored by an employee who apparently has difficulty comprehending the XXXX language. 

I will try once again and hopefully this will be directed to someone more fluent in XXXX. 

I am copying XXXX XXXX XXXX on this go-round as she was responsible for creation of this federal agency and might like to know what it has devolved into basically a letter forwarding drop box. 

I will refute each point in the anonymous response : Paragraph 2 of the anonymous response deals with the number of boxes to be returned. 

Please refer to the email time stamped XXXXXXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX which reads as follows : " Hi XXXX Guess my guy cant count I am bringing back three ( 3 ) unused boxes of the 59 x 10 And One damaged box of same till Total four boxes be there in half hour many thanks XXXX XXXX Sent from my XXXX '' how can this be any clearer? there are four cases in play here, one damaged and three undamaged. 


Paragraph 3 of the anonymous response states in essence that the merchant states I returned only three cases. That is correct in part but only because the merchant failed to honor its commitment to accept the return. Only three cases were returned BECAUSE THE MERCHANT REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE CASE THAT ARRIVED AT MY HOME DAMAGED. 


Hopefully a more careful reading of the email chain will demonstrate to the anonymous author that credit which was offered by the merchant was only for the three undamaged cases of material. 

Why is this so hard for Alliant to understand? 

The merchant should have accepted the damaged case of material. They refused. 

The email chain is more than clear ... .we are dealing with damaged and undamaged material. XXXX from the merchant agreed to take back both the undamaged and damaged material, subject only to the 20 % re-stocking fee.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate. I know this is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA so they must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I! ve received emails and letters saying I! m using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. 
I demand these companies to handle the items expeditiously based on the reasons that I put in my letters and update all 3 credit reporting agencies and compensate me for the violations or I will have no choice but to forward this to my litigation attorney. items I disputed in my letters

Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Mohela is the new provider for public loan forgivenss loans. I consolidated my loans, and before the consolidation, 90 % of my loans were under the XXXX plan. After consolidating, MOHELA dropped my plan to the " level '' plan and is currently charging daily interest. Had they left my loans in the XXXX plan, I would not have an interest rate added. They told me, that my request to be put back on the XXXX plan was placed on XX/XX/XXXX, and the interest rate was being charged starting XX/XX/XXXX. They said, after approving my request, the interest amount would stay in my account. I asked why, and they said that there is nothing they could do. I think this is an illegal practice to collect money for themselves, after having taken over as the provider for public service loans. The reason why I have qualified for this loan, is my 21 years in the military. I feel robbed and taken advantage of, and I hope that the XXXX  will take care of this complaint

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Capital One offered me a Spark Business credit card. I applied to the offer and was approved with a {$20000.00} credit limit. I subsequently received a security notice that the account was restricted and I needed to call. I did so and was told to upload documents. Only 10 documents were allowed. 

I then received a call back from security and they asked for more documents with different requirements. I even opened a personal checking account at the billing address as they instructed. I then attached more documents as requested. 

I then received yet another call back from security and they asked for yet more documents with different information. Capital One went so far as to tell me to put my personal name on the business bank statement. I do not think this is legal. a business checking account has a business name, not an individual. Further the business address is not the same as my address. So why does Capital One want me to do this?

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received correspondence like millions of other people to recertify my student loans and to apply for the new SAVE program as soon as possible. On XX/XX/XXXX, I followed the link of my servicer 's website ( AIDVANTAGE.COM ) which redirected me to FAFSA 's website. This was nothing new, as XXXX did the same thing. I followed the directions and applied for the SAVE program and directly linked FAFSA to my IRS account successfully. I was tentatively approved on the new program for XXXX XXXX/month and XX/XX/XXXX pending review and acceptance from my servicer. According to the application progression on FAFSA 's site, AIDVANTAGE provided acceptance and approval on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a bill from AIDVANTAGE XX/XX/XXXX for {$300.00} due late XXXX. I emailed AIDVANTAGE because their telephone number was busy repeatedly and their chat function said " closed try during business hours. '' I received a response on XX/XX/XXXX saying they never received an application and that I had to complete a repayment plan exit before changing to the SAVE plan which included paying one full month on time payment. So they gave me 8 days notice to pay over {$300.00} when I was led to believe my payment would be {$0.00}. I tried to schedule a call back and there are no dates or times available. 

Even today when you go to aidvantage. com, there is a popup window that tells you to go to studentaid.gov to apply for the SAVE plan.
