Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My loan has been in deferment since XXXX. I am a XXXX, full time XXXX XXXXt, and XXXX % service connected XXXX. This year, especially over XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, certain loan amount have doubled or otherwise increased, and been reported to credit agencies. I have submitted requests for deferment and for 2 years was making payments on my loans with no decrease. My loans are not supposed to increase during deferment and enrollment full time, and I have taken no other loans which would compound current amounts. This change is fraudulent and the fees are exhorbitant. One of the loans increased from XXXX to XXXX in the space of one month. This is unacceptable and I demand Navient and her subsidiaries correct this error and adjust the fees as federal statutes outline.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
In the spring of XXXX I read about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and the possibility of some if not all of my student loan debt relief. I contacted my loan provider at the time ( Department of Education ) and was told that in order to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program I would need to consolidate my loans into a Direct Loan program and change my payment plan. I did this and on XXXX of XXXX all of my loans where consolidated and then managed by XXXX XXXX/Navient. I was told that the payment plan I was in qualified towards this program and all I had to do was make 120 on time payments, which I have been paying for four years. In XXXX of this year ( XXXX ) I submitted the paperwork to the government to see where I stood in the program and at that time the servicing of my loans was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I just got off the phone with XXXX # XXXX at XXXX and as of today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the 50 payments I have made since XXXX XXXX do not count towards the PSLF program because I was not in a qualifying repayment plan. I am very upset by this and feel that I had been taken advantage of by XXXX XXXX/Navient and misled by the information given to me over four years ago.

Company: United Debt Holdings, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This is an extremely upsetting case of possible UDAAP violations. I received a very threatening call from a XXXX XXXX - NO company name left. The message said that she was an independent courier and that she will be at my home during my work hours. She advised that if I was not available at this time which I will not be she will be forced to mark me as non-complaint/refusal and additional action may be taken towards me. Additionally she left a number for me to call the " filing party '' insinuating suit or formal filing. The number left was XXXX. This was a call to XXXX XXXX. I called the number and spoke with a XXXX XXXX who provided me the last four of the SSN. What is this was not me? The appropriate practice would be to ask the consumer to validate. I advised this person that I wanted validation of this alleged debt via mail and did not want any additional phone communication and that I did not want anyone coming to my home and if so I would contact the police he advise that he would send a police escort if necessary. This is a direct threat to my safety and my home and I am unaware of any such debt! He offered to email me the validation I again requested all communication via mail. HE REFUSED. Additionally I advise him of the unprofessional and threatening tone of the carrier he advised this was not his companies responsibility and he was not sure who the carrier was. I requested additional information as I am unsure why he would not have this information. He said it could possibly be XXXX courier. He stated this was for a debt from XXXX XXXX ' XXXX from 2013. Again I am not familiar with this debt. He informed me that I was on a " Federally recorded line '', this is an attempt to intimate me and refused to provide validation outside of email and stated someone is coming to my home again with police if necessary. I advised him I do not want any additional phone calls or home visits, he stated that then this will be handled in court. I asked him to clarify if he was threatening me with a lawsuit and he said no I am just letting you know what your options are before we sue you. I provided him my attorney name and phone number and ask him to not call me again. Subsequently he proceeded to contact my employer line and gave a false name to the reception area to be transferred to my voicemail. He stated his name was XXXX XXXX when it was actually XXXX saying that he wrote the attorney number incorrectly and wanted to " give me the opportunity '' to provide the correct attorney name " otherwise '' he wishes me the best of luck in the courts. I asked the front desk to document this false name and I also saved the message. This is a clear violation of UDAAP. This was uncomfortable and very threatening.

On Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX- I tried to order the XXXX XXXX fight via XXXX XXXX. It was a world wide problem with streaming services and fight, they literally delayed the fight because so many could not watch it. I tried to order on XXXX and it never gave me the option to watch the fight - only to keep renting it.

I find out that i was charged for the fight. I contact XXXX and they say they are not offering refunds on XXXX and to dispute it with my bank. I dispute the charge with Citi, under advisement from XXXX themselves. Citi sides with XXXX and will not be refunding me. Neither party can answer how I was charged for a service that could not be delivered and neither party will be giving me my money back.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I have been victims of identity theft. Someone stole our SS # and filed false XXXX XXXX XXXX returns on us. 

We live in the state of Oklahoma. The law in Oklahoma indicates we can freeze, unfreeze and refreeze credit without a cost. 

I tried to go online today to freeze our credit with TransUnion but they offer no option to freeze credit with the entry of a police report number or to upload the police report. My next step was to call them in hopes I could get this accomplished rather quickly and simply by phone. 

In my discussion with a person residing in XXXX who I could not understand, they again tried to have me provide my credit card information to freeze my credit. I informed them that I had been a victim of ID theft, had a police report and the law in Oklahoma allowed me to freeze our credit without cost. They refused to freeze our credit but instead required that I mail them a copy of the police report. 

After being asked to speak with a supervisor, again who I could not understand, I was told I had to mail them the police report. 

It would appear TransUnion is attempting to make this process as difficult as possible so as to avoid the placement of a credit freeze on our accounts. I find this totally unacceptable. In today 's society it would be very simple for me to upload a copy of the police report from my computer but there is no option to do this.

Company: Simon's Agency, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX whilst I was in process of working with XXXX XXXX XXXX on a work related injury medical case. It was beyond me as the facility sent the bill to collection instead of waiting for me to get things settled. I can not do anything beyond XXXX. I can understand the impatient agency reported me to the credit bureau which I dislike. I called and paid off the amount with the understanding that they remove from my credit. They refused to remove from my credit. 
The other credit agency I spoke too confirmed that the law bar agencies from collecting debt out of state. This means they have to send back to the issuer who will have to work out with me again before finally sending it to another agency in where I am. This law is fair however I have paid the said agency they refused to remove from my credit despite breaching the law baring them from contacting me out of state. I issued an official letter stating to them they erred and gave them 1 month grace period starting XXXX XXXX, XXXX to fix it. They NEVER responded. I am therefore using this medium to get them do the right thing by removing from my credit.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had gone into the Chase branch in XXXX XXXX NY on XX/XX/XXXX. To apply for opening mortgages for six properties in XXXX PA. XXXX XXXX was the mortgage broker I dealt with as well as his branch manager XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( it had to be escalated to the VP of XXXX XXXX ). He informed me that after he has all my information and paperwork required, he would run my credit. I said he may only run my credit ONCE. He made two hard inquiries on my credit, one with my knowledge on XX/XX/XXXX and the other without my knowledge on XX/XX/XXXX. All within almost a 30-day period. I had then received 5 commitment letters from XXXX XXXX and the loan processing office in Ohio, on XX/XX/XXXX. Which I signed all 5 letters and sent them back, that day. For some unknown reason, which XXXX XXXX did n't inform me, until the closing of the 4 properties. He stated, '' Lets close on these 4 properties, then we will close on the last one after ''. I asked why and he said, " It makes things easier ''. I complied with his 30 years of experience, he had made a point to tell me in the beginning of the process on XX/XX/XXXX. We only closed on 4 properties which took 5 months to close on. He never reached out to me to close on the 5 properties. I had to escalate it to the VP XXXX XXXX. I tried to explain to XXXX, the situation and sent him an email of my signed commitment letter. We had a few correspondences and he not to worry, we have your credit report on file for 120 days. XXXX got back to me on XX/XX/XXXX, telling me there is nothing he can do, the commitment letter has expired and they must redo my application over. I had him send me that in an email. I have not gone through with the application process again. I do not want to run my credit for the third time. I lost that property too. I have all supporting documents to support what I mentioned today.

In short, I did n't get the bonus - but they have admitted to me that it is indeed owed to me but nobody is able to make the adjustment. I followed their process, but it has now been like 4 months with multiple deadlines passed that they gave me for resolution. I waited the first XXXX weeks for the bonus to post, it never did. I contacted them to open a case to research, which they told me would be XXXX weeks. The result of that is they closed it and admitted I fulfilled the offer, however they identified a large number of accounts that the bonus failed to post to. They told me it would be resolved in XXXX days. That deadline was earlier this week. When I contacted them, they said they are n't sure why I did n't get it but would open up another case and I would know more in XXXX weeks. I would like your help to get these bonuses paid out, for myself and everyone else. Waiting XXXX months is not right when they have admitted that they owe them to me.
