Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Complaint 1 : I made my payment early as I often do, though I'm on automatic payments. When you do this, there's a disclaimer saying that your additional payment will reduce your automatic withdrawal payment by the amount of the additional payment. I haven't had the payment come out twice before. It did this time, and when I asked about it, they treated me like an XXXX. I even selected " Principal Only '' for the additional in case this happened, yet they took interest from both payments. This shouldn't have come out twice, but if that's how they're going to run their business, then additional payments that have been marked for Principal Only need to be Principal Only. 

Principal Interest XX/XX/2018 Pending {$100.00} XX/XX/2018 Payment {$120.00} {$100.00} {$18.00} XX/XX/2018 Payment {$110.00} {$110.00} {$0.00} Complaint 2 : I refinanced the majority of my loan in XXXX to another servicer because Great Lakes ' practices are so terrible. The balance left with Great Lakes was a little over {$6000.00}, yet they did everything they could to keep my monthly {$350.00} payment that I was paying when my balance with them was nearly $ 30k. I had to fight tooth and nail to reduce the payment to what it should be. I got through the whole hour-long process on the phone the first time, and was told I'd have to wait over the following weekend for changes to take effect. The changes never came, and the entire {$350.00} was withdrawn from my bank account. I called to see where they were at in the process of changing it, and they claimed they had no record of my call. So I went through the whole process again. I saw nothing still the following week, so I called again. Again, no record of me calling. On the third time, after threatening reporting them, my payment changes were made.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir or Madam : I am writing to dispute a billing error in the amount of {$390.00} on my account. The amount is inaccurate because the charge is fraudulent. The creditor is claiming that I am responsible for this charge ( which happened to be the highest one ). The creditor stated that they contacted the merchant, who told them that the card was present at the time of the transaction. This is not accurate, and I would be willing to review security tapes at the merchant to prove that I was not there using the credit card.

I am requesting that the error be corrected, that any finance and other charges related to the disputed amount be credited as well, and that I receive an accurate statement.

Lastly, if the creditor insist that I am responsible for the fraudulent charge, Federal law limits my responsibility for unauthorized charges to {$50.00} under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 

Please investigate this matter and correct the billing error as soon as possible.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My EX-WIFE used my name, social security, personal finance information ( she would have had access to because of current alimony modification court  proceedings ), to ATTAIN A " JOINT '' 40 YEAR REFINANCE on HER home. I have no doubt she forged my signature ; this is something she does repeatedly, to include on tax paperwork. 

I have contacted the company ( XXXX in XXXX XXXX ) and am disappointed thus far by their slow reaction. I have also contacted Transunion to have this person 's home removed from my credit. 

I even included my divoce decree which clearly stated that I have no liability, responibility or ownership of her home. This was 4 years ago. I have not seen, spoken to or had ANYTHING to do with this woman in YEARS. I have a legal " no contact '' order against her. Yet now I somehow " jointly '' own a 40 year refinance with her?! 

HOW can a loan company be this open to fraud, deception, and ID theft?

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I contacted you guys about this a few years ago because I was struggling to pay the loan because Sallie Mae/Navient put my loan at an 11.9 % interest rate and I couldnt afford the payment. They put me on a rate reduction program after you contacted them. Now we are back at the same cross roads. They are trying to increase my interest rate back up. I spoke with them gave them all of my financial information and still they said I dont qualify for the program because Ive been on it for so long. And according to their calculations I have {$260.00} extra a month so I can give them the {$210.00}. I explained I have a daughter, how am I supposed to give them all of my money? What if theres an emergency and I dont have anything extra? The representative was adamant about saying well its ONLY {$50.00} more, only {$50.00} when sometimes your checking account is overdrawn isnt really an option for me. Every 6months they have me call in to give them financial information and every call theyve pushed the payment back up. I am back up to repaying them over {$17000.00} on a loan that has {$11000.00} and change. How is that fair?? Ive never missed a payment, I was actually ahead two payments and they told me I didnt qualify because of that and I would have to call back - how is that right? If someone is one time and ahead, you see that theyre making a good faith effort and you tell them unless youve defaulted or your two payments ahead run out you dont qualify?? I need your help again. I was fine making {$170.00} in payments. Because according to their computers I have extra money they feel its okay to just give it all to them. My extra money is pennies and I really dont have it. My account today is negative so where is the extra money?? Please help

Complaint narrative:
When my lease was up with American Honda I received the bill which I tried to resolve since some discrepancies came up. I got the run around then I finally set up payment that they should pull out the amount out of my bank account they failed to do that. I kept calling to get this resolved I kept getting the run around until they finally completed the withdrawal months later. This has been detrimental to me since it postponed the payment by almost a year.

Therefore, Chase was fully aware that a legal debt was no longer owed to them with the demise of my late husband, the sole Borrower, particularly when no Creditors Claim had been submitted and approved.
