Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Since XXXX of 2010 navient when navient become my student loan providerI have encountered several significant issues that have prompted me to reach out. Listed below are a breakdown of my issues Inaccurate Billing : I have noticed discrepancies in my monthly statements. Specifically, my payments have not been properly credited, leading to confusion about my outstanding balance. This has caused me to worry about potential late fees and impacts on my credit score. 

Customer Service Challenges : When I attempted to resolve these billing issues, I faced long wait times and unhelpful responses from customer service representatives. On multiple occasions, I was either misinformed or given contradictory information regarding my account status and payment options. 

Lack of Transparency : I have found it challenging to access clear information about my loan terms and repayment options. Despite my repeated requests for documentation, I have not received a satisfactory explanation of my loan details, which makes it difficult for me to manage my payments effectively. 

Payment Processing Delays : I have experienced delays in the processing of my payments, which has led to unnecessary stress and the potential for late fees. I expect timely processing, especially when payments are made on or before the due date.I believe I was steered into costly repayment options that have forced me to pay much more than they should have.i kindly request that you investigate these issues and issue a complain on my behalf to potential dissolve my current balance of {$51000.00}. I attached and example of a forbearance request I received in which I never requested as an example. I would appreciate a detailed response outlining the steps you will take to rectify these problems.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Paying off the loan
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I transferred a payment from my checking account to my mortgage account at Chase for {$120000.00}. My balance as of yesterday was {$120000.00}. After making the payment, I tried to look into my account to see if the payment was made and found out that I was locked out of my account by Chase for suspicious activity. After I was able to get in on XX/XX/year>, I found out that only {$99000.00} was applied to the principal and the remainder of XXXX was unapplied. So, I called Chase and spoke to XXXX Escalation XXXX, the reason why my payment was split up was because I they claimed that it wouldn't pay off the account because I still owed {$120.00} ( {$81.00} for interest owed from XXXX XXXX plus a recording fee for the County {$46.00} ). I told him that I wanted the full payment applied directly to my principal and he said that it still will not pay off the account. He gave me options to pay the extra amount due and said that I can not make the payment of {$120.00} online and I can not pay it in the branch with a cash payment. Instead, I have to go the branch with a cashier check or wire transfer to pay the additional {$120.00} in order to pay off my mortgage. Regarding my payment XXXX said that it would take XXXX business to apply my payment of {$24000.00} to the principal ; however, he will reach to his team and ask if they can expedite the payment to the principal the next day but no guarantee. He said that he will reach out to me in the next XXXX days to let me know when the payment has been applied.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I have had an account repeatedly charged late fees and interest. I was never provided an itemized statement because their online system would never allow me access to my account. It kept saying my information was invalid and would not let me access it even though I input the correct information. And I never received any paper statements. The whole time my account was opened, even though I did make payments for what I charged plus extra, the company still overcharged me with late fees and interest. For example, I made a {$40.00} payment one month, not knowing I needed to pay {$41.00}. The company then charged me a {$41.00} late fee plus {$5.00} interest on a late fee for a {$1.00} payment I was unaware was due. 

When I spoke with the reps to try to resolve this matter, they hung up on me and refused to file any disputes or complaints about it. They told me to just put it in writing and send it to their company. But in the meantime, I will still get charged more late fees and additional interest, which will be reported negatively to my credit. Also, one rep told me they would take off everything but {$41.00} of late payments, and then the final rep who hung up on me told me she would only take off {$100.00} and then charge me more late fees and interest while I have a {$200.00} credit limit and they are charging me late payment far exceeding that limit without me making any purchases.,
