Company: AES/PHEAA

Complaint narrative:
My student loan servicer, FedLoan Servicing, took nearly two months from the time they confirmed receipt of my Income Based Repayment plan recertification ( XXXX XXXX ) to process my recertification ( on XXXX XXXX ). As a result, I have been billed for a " level '' payment of nearly twice my usual student loan payment. I confirmed on the phone with them that I made no errors in my application and that it was their inability to process the paperwork in a timely manner that has resulted in this large bill. They recommended I make the payment or receive a one-month foreberance. I do n't think I should have to pay extra, or extend the time until I reach my XXXX payments for loan forgiveness, due to their inability to process paperwork.

Complaint narrative:
My federal student loans were transferred to FedLoanServicing ( FLS ) from XXXX on XX/XX/2016. FLS contacted me on XX/XX/2016 to tell me they had my loan. I set up my account XX/XX/2016, and submitted recalculation paperwork the same day using the " paperless dropbox '' on their website. 
On XX/XX/2016 they informed me they had recalculated my loan and my monthly payment amount would be {$420.00} on a monthly AGI of {$1400.00}. I 'm in the PSLF program, and my payment should be 15 % of my income, less 150 % of the poverty level ( for 2 people ), and I calculate my payment should be {$170.00} per month. 
I called back on XX/XX/2016 and spoke with XXXX who said he saw the discrepancy, and would send my back loan for recalculation. I called back on XXXX and spoke to XXXX who said that they calculated it based on my gross income because they " were not tax experts '' and could not figure out my AGI. 
The deductions on my paycheck are clearly listed, and my AGI is listed as " ADJ EARNINGS ''. XXXX refused to recognize that this was my adjusted gross income, and said they would require a letter from my employer to calculate my payment. She repeatedly said she was " not a tax expert '' and would not transfer me to a manager. 
In the meantime, they expect me to pay {$420.00} on XX/XX/2016, when my payment should be {$170.00}.

I have been helping my sister apply for a reverse mortgage. I bought a home approximately 16 yrs ago through a mortgage and sold it to her on a land contract to help her out. Difficult times costs her a second job so it got tough for her to make the payment these past few yrs. When she turned XXXX she applied for a reverse mortgage ( XXXX 2016 ).

They are accusing us of trying to get money falsely. I am not sure where this is coming from. I owe {$11000.00} on the mortgage, she owes me more and the funds she would get from the reverse mortgage were {$22000.00}. I would be taking a loss on the home but one does what ones has to when helping family. Main goal was to get her out of a mortgage payment. Our issue is the timeline this has taken and the guarantee she qualified for this mortgage-paid out {$450.00} and then told no.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously filed complaints on this issue but the lender refuses to respond. My student loans are serviced through American education services ( AES ) but my actual lender is National Collegiate Trust who has no phone number available to the public and only a mailing address and they refuse to respond to correspondence. I am in need of a lower payment and i have begged this people at AES to assist me with my account both totaling to over XXXX $ per month and i still have other loans i pay with other companies like XXXX. My issue is the AES and NCT wont communicate or work with me. i am now delinquent because my payments keep increasing and i cant keep up. i would like to pay but can not due to the outrageous amount. I asked NCT to provide proof i owe them and they supplied me with a loan promissory note from a girl with a totally different name than mine, they sent me all her personal information so i can only assume they are giving my information out as well. The biggest issue is this companies buys debt and then you are unable to get in touch with the company and just told to pay whatever they say. can you help me get proof that they ( NCT ) even own my loan and if so get them to make my payment more reasonable because i cant afford this at all.

Complaint narrative:
My father, a XXXX veteran, died in XXXX 2016. I knew he had Suntrust accounts and my goal was to put Suntrust on notice that he was no longer living and to freeze any further checking account activity, especially automatic debits. I went to a local branch of Suntrust with copies of the death certificate ( XXXX in total, all certified copies ). They told me I needed letters of administration identifying me or another person as a representative of his estate in order to freeze his accounts. I told them I found this requirement an unreasonable burden in that no one had presented a will on his behalf yet ( it had only been 2 weeks since he passed away ) and I believe he passed away without a will. In questioning the policy, Suntrust 's consumer complaints ' office said that the copies of the death certificate were not " original '' death certificate. But my copies were certified copies of the death certificate. The local branch would not accept a copy of the death certificate, and Suntrust generally never requested a copy of the death certificate for the investigation of my complaint ( all my copies have official seals ), and the local branch never acknowledged that a death certificate could serve as enough notice to freeze account activity.
