Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't get flexible payment options
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
With limited options for private loan assistance Navient has made equally difficult once again to find any kind of relief to my private loan debt. 
This will be my third submission with contacting the CFPB for Navient/XXXX XXXX 1 ) For their lack of responsiveness in connecting with service agent in the Rate Reduction Team and to their Complaints Department 2 ) Failure to provide financial support/reduction to my loans. After leaving a message I finally spoke to the agent, who I spoke to previously in regards to my other recent situation with Navient- XXXX XXXX . I expressed both complaints I have and included that I have been working diligently to have my payments be reestablished on the rate reduction plan. Which is the only options they provide with private loans. XXXX knoted that this complaint through him could take 5- 7 business days. With that said I have payments due XXXX/XXXX/16 and urged for things to be expedited. I have been on the rate reduction plan in the past and was looking to sign in for another year. I had completed step 1 which was to verify my financial statement with them. Step 2 was for my co-signer to complete the same. After several calls last week and not getting in touch with the team my cosigner tried again today and was connected. Which leads me to my 2nd complaint in the matter ... .Based on my co-signers finances I am not eligible for the rate reduction plan. My co-signer is not in a position to pay my payments nor am I approving them to. Especially since I have been on the plan before with the same co-signers and this year makes it much more difficult for that XXXX of my XXXX loans is now out of forbearance with a payment of {$220.00} and is not eligible for the rate reduction plan. My co-signer who has called is signed on XXXX of the XXXX loans I would need in the rate reduction plan. If on the Rate Reduction Plan and my remaining loan I will be looking at a payment of a minimum of {$710.00} a month which they noted was not guaranteed due to the fact that the {$710.00} was based on last years payment and that this year the interest rate would increase. {$710.00} is already barely attainable with the other loan opening up. Last year my payments were {$490.00}. Once again Navient has backed me in to a corner of never successfully moving forward debt free.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX month I paid my BOA credit card statment XXXX cents short. The 2nd month came with that amount due plus a : '' minimum interest charge '' fee of {$1.00}. I called, was told as a long time customer they would waive it, so paid my balance minus the {$1.00}. the 3rd month - the charge remain plus incurred another " minimum interest charge '' of {$1.00}, called and was told the {$3.00} would be removed, so paid the balance minus the {$3.00} ; 4th month, got a credit of {$3.00} but got another {$1.00} " minimum interest charge. '' This time I was told even though BOA was giving me credit, I had to pay the {$1.00}, because the credit would n't go into effect until after my balance w/the fee was paid. I would then receive a credit, which would then be applied to my future balance. Why? ca n't BOA, when they say they 're going to remove their charge, remove it at that time like they do other vendor charges that are being credited back? Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX credit cards with Bank of America, and have a GOOD history of making my payments on time. This month, however, someone was late sending me a check, and the cards were A FEW DAYS past due. On Sunday, XX/XX/2017, I was away from home and stopped to buy gas. My credit card would n't work. Luckily it took my debit card. This was on a Sunday afternoon. I called my bank as soon as this happened, and was told that because I was A FEW DAYS LATE, they had turned off my credit cards WITHOUT WARNING. 

What would have happened if I had n't had my debit card with me? I was a good XXXX miles away from home. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED, WITH NO WAY TO GET HOME. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO CAMP OUT IN MY CAR ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BEEN LEFT AT THE MERCY OF PASSING MOTORISTS. I 'M XXXX YEARS OLD AND XXXX. I COULD N'T HAVE DEFENDED MYSELF IF SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY CAR WHILE I WAS IN IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN XXXX OR XXXX. 

If i had been 30 past due I would have understood this, but it was LESS THAN ONE WEEK. What if I 'd mailed a check but it had n't cleared yet? I would have STILL BEEN LEFT AT THE MERCY OF PASSING MOTORISTS. 

Why did n't Bank of America NOTIFY ME THAT THEY WERE DOING THIS? I had NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. 

I got my check, the credit card payments have been made, but I have changed banks. I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY BANK THAT WILL WILLFULLY ENDANGER THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

They told me my score on the phone, reported it as XXXX ( I later received written notice that the score was XXXX ). I called the bank and told the mortgage counselor my score and they advised me to have my credit run for a mortgage loan because if that was my score, I was ready to apply. I had been in touch with this bank periodically while my score was increasing each month. The bank ran my score and told me it was a XXXX. I asked them to remove the inquiry because I relied on false information given to me by XXXX. The bank refused. XXXX refused to help me in that request.

Complaint narrative:
Originally I went to XXXX to pursue XXXX degree XXXX. Before I completed the degree I was accepted to Indiana University XXXX. Because it was another XXXX program and XXXX degree I was forced to take out student loans. It has been so long ago I do n't remember exactly why I was not able to utilize only federally backed loans. I ended up with several private loans over the coarse of the program. Since that time I have returned using work tuition reimbursement plan and obtained and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) but I still can not get on top of these private loans. The interest keeps adding up. Late payments, late charges, interest etc, I fear I will never see the end. I will be paying on these loans longer than my mortgage. 
Now I have experienced several financial changes over the last years or so, that were not for the better. My significant other experienced a drastic change in his employment after almost 25 years. My elderly mother has moved in with me due to her own financial issues and is now dependent on my income. My car that I maintained for several years finally bit the dust and had to be replaced. The list goes on and on. 
Needless to say I am now being threatened with defaulting on the loans being serviced by Navient. Threatening phone calls at all hours including calls to my mother on her private line. I am at my wits end and in desperate need of help.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB ComplaintI have a small business. A former associate fraudulently obtained a check made out & printed payable to my business, ( the payee ). This person Hand wrote their personal name on the check and cashed/deposited it at Bank of America. They also endorsed this check with their signature. Effectively this person stole this check for {$20000.00}. In USD which was payable to my business. Bank of America, upon filing a Demand letter to have these funds returned to the appropriate Payee, ( My Business ) is quoting state Law for Washington State for which they are not governed by, in using the statute RCW : Revised Code of Washington : XXXX Conversion of Instrument. This is an inappropriate and irrelevant quoting of regulatory statute. This is apparently being used as an Excuse for the purpose of not returning the fraudulently cashed funds into their bank. The Bank of America is governed by the OCC and not by State codes further. This check was printed with my business legal entity Name which is primary in the Payee endorsement of check payment instruments. It is fraudulent to cash or deposit a check to an account to any other account not associated with the printed intended Payee account, particularly without any primary payee endorsements or notifications. I request the CFP make notification to Bank of America this transaction was fraudulently cashed or deposited and payment to the appropriately intended Payee must be made immediately. Further, I request any and all legal notification of the OCC governance and appropriate banking or check fraud notifications be made to both myself and bank of America Fraud department Via : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Phone Number XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WA, XXXX

My loan was bought out by Navient while in deferment and has been split into two separate loans collecting interest on each loan when I was only getting hit with one flat interest rate. Now if my case does not go through and I 'd have to pay double interest on two separate loans. I would n't be able to afford that. I ca n't even go back to school if I 'd want to because I ca n't afford to.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America charged XXXX overdraft fees on my account and my account did not reach a negative balance. I called customer service and they explained that the information online was incorrect and certain items, though showing as processing, were actually paid. I made the necessary deposit to bring my account to a positive balance prior to the end of the business day and the overdraft has not been refunded. Based on the online information, the transactions were still processing and I made the necessary deposit prior to the close of business. This is not the first time Bank of America has tried to steal our money and I want to make sure the CFPB is aware and does something to stop this. I have accounts with other banks and this never happens. I am transitioning away from Bank of America, but they just keep stealing my money ( every month ). I have attached screenshots as evidence and am willing to contact additional branches of the government to ensure that all Bank of America customers are aware of this scheme and appropriately prosecuted.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX attempted a payment for private loans with Navient account # XXXX. My online account showed a fee of {$14.00}. My account was current due to IBR and on-payments. My total amount due according to the system was to be {$530.00} with their Quick Pay system. My card was charged {$14.00} and {$330.00}. The rest of the payment was unprocessed without confirmation. I contacted customer service and Agent # XXXX confirmed that {$14.00} was a for a late fee which was to be applied to interest on my federal loan. My federal loan is on a $ XXXX and the rep said I did not owe this, yet I have been charged. I called again today and logged into their system and the account is showing that {$480.00} is owed. Which is incorrect. The system declared an amount owed for XXXX XXXX loan was {$150.00}, Agent XXXX 's system said {$140.00} was owed and processed that amount. Why is Navient continually showing late fees that are n't on a borrower 's account with an autopay system that just collects this. Even when I have tried to keep my payments current the system is overcharging and so is Navient. This system is designed to keep people in debt! This is outrageous! My student loans combined are more than XXXX of my income. I can barely make ends meet! Also it seems the only way I can get them to do anything right is via phone with payment by credit card and now they are charging {$15.00} to process this way and this is the first time they have disclosed that fee. When they overdrew my account before at no time was there every acknowledgement of any fees charged! Why is my statement showing more than what I owe? Are they arbitrarily adding money to my loans? My balance is $ 107+! Please advise.
