Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The three main issues : ( 1 ) Mortgage payments for an ( 80/20 ) loan taken out in 2006 do not appear to have been applied properly to the mortgage. 
( 2 ) XXXX issued an 80/20 mortgage and communicated they would aggregate the monthly payment into " XXXX '' payment request to us, and they would allocate across the XXXX loans. It appears that never happened as the 2nd mortgage looks like it never received a payment. 
( 3 ) Post a serious delinquency during the financial crisis, we reinstated the loan thinking we were obviously reinstating both loans ( 80 / 20 ). We have since learned only the first mortgage was reinstated, the 2nd charged off, the balance on the first has only dropped by {$10000.00} over the past 10 years although we have made over {$100000.00} in payments to the various mortgage companies & banks that have owned our loans, and the balance for the 2nd is reporting the same as the original 2nd loan amount. 

Please note : These loans were with XXXX XXXX, then both went to Bank of America, then to XXXX mortgage. Currently the 1st mortgage is with XXXX and XXXX placed the 2nd mortgage with another company. We did not have the original mortgage documents but were able to provide documents from the courts to substantiate the loans which includes the lenders name, loan number, and dates. We have also provided a copy of the credit report which shows the balances quoted in this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
We returned our XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to XXXX as part of the XXXX XXXX. We were told our loan to our institution would be paid off by XXXX, and an XXXX sent to us for the remainder. The lender sent documentation on XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating the loan was paid off. In fact, the loan pay off hit our credit reports in early XXXX. We also received an XXXX from XXXX for the portion of the buyback above the remaining loan amount ( so far, valid ). 

Today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we received notice from our lending institution that the loan was not satisfied. We called the lending institution and XXXX 's check bounced ( confirmed by a supervisor ) ; the lender received a bad check from XXXX and is reinstating our loan. 

The installment payment is now due tomorrow, XXXX XXXX, and we no longer have the car ( XXXX does ). We are concerned about the rejected pay off and what it will do to our credit reports. Do we owe this month 's installment payment? 

How can XXXX get away with bouncing a check and the institution reinstating our loan?

Product: Debt collection — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I had taken out two ( 2 ) Parent Loans for my son when he attended XXXX University. He left college and the loan payments came due at a time I was dealing with debt left by a divorce. Rather than file bankruptcy I opted to settle with all creditors except for the parent loans. As time went by they did start a garnishment XX/XX/XXXX. 
My employer has deducted {$190.00} every two ( 2 ) weeks beginning XX/XX/XXXX per the United States Government Wage Garnishment Order ( XXXX ) in the amount of {$20000.00}. 
I contacted the Creditor Agency ( CBE ) last week to confirm the date I thought this should be paid in full ( approx XX/XX/XXXX ). I was told I still had {$5500.00} plus to pay and interest accrues daily. At that time I requested a transaction history on the collection of my two ( 2 ) accounts. 

I received their transaction history report that carries NO BALANCES. I received the payment history from my employer that carries remaining balance after every payment. I created a spreadsheet using BOTH CBE and my employer. 

First, the garnishment order of {$20000.00} consists of : 2 parent loans totaling {$14000.00}, Interest due of {$1900.00} and CBE Fees and Costs of {$3900.00}. 

Secondly, in addition to CBE 's fees/cost of {$3900.00} INCLUDED in the garnishment, they have collected ADDITIONAL fees of {$37.00} every two ( 2 ) weeks processing payments received as follows : XX/XX/XXXX - {$410.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$1000.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$970.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$220.00} ( as of XX/XX/XXXX payment processed of XX/XX/XXXX payroll deduction - Why does it take so long for them to process? ) The collection company is receiving over half the cost of the original debt IN FEES to collect the debt. It 's a wonder anyone goes to college or that parents take out these loans not knowing what the future holds financially for them. 

Both myself and my employer have a total balance left on my garnishment of {$1700.00} per the payroll deduction of XX/XX/XXXX ( which CBE processed XX/XX/XXXX per their transaction history report ). CBE verbally told me I had a {$5500.00} plus balance as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Finally, How can a wage garnishment order that is almost fulfilled have a balance that can keep growing seemingly never to end? 
Where are the checks and balances for the consumer or in this case debtor? Is n't a garnishment order for a specified amount only as listed in black and white on mine?

Complaint narrative:
NAVIENT has contacted me via mail, telephone and email ( somehow they have reached out to me and my co-borrower via e-mail, though I have never provided them with this information ) about XXXX private student loan disbursements that I have no record or knowledge of ever obtaining. I have since fallen past due on amounts for both of these loans and when I called NAVIENT to seek an economic hardship forbearance and/or deferment of any sort, they told me that they required a significant payment in order to process any kind of deferment or forbearance. I am attempting to research these XXXX loan disbursements, but I wanted to have a forbearance granted in the meantime while I figured out what exactly these accounts pertained to. NAVIENT refuses to work with me in any way, shape or form, and they seem determined to ruin my credit over unverified debts in the process.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2016 I received a refund check from my insurance company, XXXX. When I called them, they told me that my home owner 's policy had been canceled. A new policy had been issued, but was not paid for. 
I went to a local Bank Of America office on XX/XX/2016, from whom I have my mortgage. They repeatedly told me that BoA could not have canceled the policy. They also told me they had paid for the policy, twice, in XX/XX/XXXX. After much repetition, BoA acknowledged that they had altered my policy without my permission, to change the deductible for wind damage from XXXX % to XXXX %. They also reduced my coverage for personal property loss. 
According to XXXX, BoA called at least 4 times from XXXX XXXX. There were no specific notes on any of these calls. The cancellation and reissue were handled at the XXXX office, not my agent, but the policy was given a new agency code, still with my previous agent XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX, DE. 
I believe that neither party should have altered my policy ( paid for with my money ) without my knowledge and approval. No one can explain why they were able to or justified in doing so. 
I am enclosing a copy of the new policy, which I received only because I asked for it today, which includes the details of the agent, the issuer, and the mortgage holder. 
I wish both parties to refrain from altering my policy without my knowledge and permission.

Not only do I not owe it, but it is from more than 17 years ago and the statute of limitations has passed. Not only is there no evidence or proof that I owe it, they refuse to acknowledge that they can not collect it and they refuse to stop sending me letters to my work and home when I have told them not to call my work phone and cell phone. I do n't have a home phone and therefore they refuse to stop. I just want them to stop contacting and threatening a civil action on my phone and telling me I could get XXXX.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I went to XXXX school at XXXX XXXX College XXXX XXXX in XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX/Navient 's ( SMN ) deceptive practices over the course of last 8 years has left me in a crippling position with respect to my loans, private and Federal. The total original principal amount was {$200000.00} XXXX XXXX - {$96000.00} ; private - {$100000.00} ). For three years after law school, I was either underemployed or unemployed due to the market crash. Since 2011, I have made approximately {$63000.00} in payments toward my student loans. XXXX strong-armed me into recklessly prioritizing my private loans over my Federal loans. My current indebtedness is approximately {$420000.00} ( Federal - {$250000.00} ; private - {$160000.00} XXXX. 

For five years, I have been asking for a way to permanently reduce my interest rates. My XXXX private loans have rates that range from 8 % ( XXXX loan ) to 10 % ( XXXX loans ). Each year, XXXX enrolled me into a Rate Reduction Program that was initially sold to me as a way to permanently reduce my rates. Yet, every year I am told that I have to re-enroll for another year in order to qualify for a permanent reduction. In XXXX, I was re-enrolled and payments were set at approximately {$1000.00} ; this is in addition to the {$1000.00} payments to XXXX for my consolidated Federal loan debt at 7 % interest. In XXXX, I was told I had been rejected from the Rate Reduction program, that my monthly payments were {$1700.00} and I had to re-apply by submitting three months worth of bank statements ( and had to include 3 months of my sister 's bank statements because she had co-signed one of the loans ). I asked for something in writing explaining the application process and the Rate Reduction Program. I told the XXXX rep that bank statements seem awfully invasive. He threatened to write in his call notes that I was being uncooperative and had voluntarily rejected applying for the program. He also said that they were not allowed to share any written details of the program or the process by which they calculated enrollment/payments. 

I 'm completely at a loss at what I 'm supposed to do. My Federal loans skyrocketed because of the advice I took from XXXX five years ago. I have no hope for a future that is n't filled with crippling debt. I 'm XXXX years old. I have no family, social life, health issues due to stress, and no way out. I do n't want this to be the rest of my life. I do n't want to die alone. 

Please help me.

They put a {$880000.00} debit on my indiviudal account and will not allow me to access my {$3400.00} in my individual account and said the account is closed permanently. They bounced over {$1000.00} in checks when I had the money available. No one will give me a straight answer at Bank of America and basically stole money from me to cover fraud that was committed against me and my husband.
