Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Original loan amt : $ XXXX/Institution : XXXX It is my understanding that XXXX got out of the student loan business and sold the portfolio to XXXX XXXX  in XXXX NE . 

XXXX Acct # : XXXX Over the last couple of months I have written and called XXXX to find out how I can pay off this loan in a lump sum for a lesser amount. I asked this because we have already paid in the neighborhood of {$3800.00} and the balance due is still {$11000.00}. They will only accept payment in the full amount. I'm not a finance wizard but doesn't that calculate to at least 40 % interest when all is said and done? 

I'm retiring next year and trying to get on top of debt while I can and while my brother has offered to help me. My son is the borrower and I am the co-signer. The job market for my son has not been inconsistent so I'm helping. 

Is XXXX 's methodology reasonable and legal?

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX XXXX car payment was due of {$390.00}. 
I only had {$390.00} in my US bank account & due to low funds I was charged an over draft fee. Unaware, I paid the overdraft fee, but told them since I had {$0.00} in my account if they can prevent any payments from being swiped. 
They agreed, yet they allowed 4 other payments to go through saying that those are " automatic payments '' & cant do anything about those. I was really upset. 
I now have {$260.00} in debt with US bank so I have cancelled my bank card with them & no longer a member. 
However, I am here trying to fix my situation & not in the position to pay any of the funds, let alone the overdraft fees.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX Freedom Mortgage received my normal, regular mortgage payment that I have sent to them for years through my bank 's bill pay account. Their 'cash handling department ' misapplied that payment as an escrow payment. In early XXXX the error was caught. We spoke with Freedom Mortgage about it and they put in a ticket to get it resolved, which they have failed to do. Everyone has been nice that I've spoken with but after a dozen phone calls and 4 different solution dates that they have given me, the problem persists. In the meantime my other payments have been processed properly but they went ahead and reported me as late to the Credit Bureau agencies causing my credit score to drop 65 points. They keep telling me that the cash handling department has to fix this and yet there is no way for me to speak with that department. There should be some recourse ; some government body perhaps that has oversight over these kind of abuses.

I sent a certified validation letter on XX/XX/18 in regards to this collections being reported on my credit report. I respectfully requested a validation in which I have the right to request due to the debt you say I owe under the pursuant to 15 USC 1692g Sec 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA. I received a letter stating that this account number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was sold to Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) and the time of the sale the Seller provided an electronic file, a summary of information sent in the electronic file and a bill in the amount of {$5100.00} which does not constitute validation. I sent another certified validation letter on XX/XX/18 and in return they sent the same letter as the first time. 
I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt I Also need to know what information was sent to the credit bureau to validate the XXXX. I have no contractual obligation with this company but yet they continue to report to all three credit bureaus in which is unlawful being that they failed to validate the debt. This debt constitutes defamation of character, as negative listing on my credit. I requesting they provide me with evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay or promptly delete all information from my credit file which can not be validated.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Three years ago I received assistance to pay my mortgage for 2yrs. This should have ended XX/XX/XXXX. My mortgage company stated I was behind because I didn't pay XX/XX/XXXX. I determined that the last few months or so of the assistance the mortgage company Ditech increased my mortgage. I was unemployed and fell behintd on my mortgage. I asked for a modification and qualified. In XX/XX/XXXX I received loan modification paperwork from Ditech. I was able to make my 3 lowered monthly payments on time and qualified for the  modification. I completed the paperwork and sent it back to them. I never heard anything from them. This concerned me. I attempted to call them to speak on the matter. I was continuously transferred to different people and voicemails. XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice that they were going to foreclose on the home. I called and after being transferred 3 times I spoke with a young lady who was able to assist me. She stated that my modification paperwork was incorrect that my notary signed in two places. No one called or sent documentation to inform me of this mishap. I was unable to make a payment because I was not sure how much to send. The young lady sent a second set of papers I completed them and mailed them back. The young lady stated the amount I should make my future payments for. She stated that Ditech was at fault by not contacting me to advise of the incorrect paperwork. I called XX/XX/XXXX a month after sending the documents back and spoke with XXXX. I received another foreclosure letter. She asked why it took 3 months to send the modification paperwork back. I advised her to review the notation. She apologized and said that Ditech was working on the issue and was waiting for XXXX to agree to the terms. That XXXX was backed up and they could not proceed forward without them. She also advised me to disregard any foreclosure documents sent because it will take a minimum of a month to process the modification. On XX/XX/XXXXI received another foreclosure notice. I called and could not get anyone until XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX who stated I should review XXXX hosted by XXXX XXXX. I advised that I wanted to speak to someone about loss mitigation. I had a representative named XXXX. At this point I do not know where I stand. I am unclear if they are going to attempt to foreclose on the house. The initial loan modification didn't occur due to their negligence. I feel they want my home and a purposely not assisting to ensure they have the property. They hard to reach, uncooperative, elusive, and do not return calls or voicemails. I truly feel that others must be experiencing the same issues with Ditech Home Loans.

This has caused me a lot of bad because I always do everything under the law, I feel harassed and mistreated by Bank of America for accusing me of something that is unfair, I do not understand why they do this if when they investigate they saw that it was true my information and my money back, I have in my possession all the documents issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX that were embassy during the course of the month of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, in which nothing is said about Frauds. 
I strongly wish that this accusation be withdrawn for me to continue my banking processes and conduct an investigation with this case. Thank you very much
