Complaint narrative:
Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late, yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account come from but they failed to provide me, so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the TEPSLF program twice since XXXX. This is related to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Each time, my application was denied. I have met all of the requirements for the program. I was on a Direct Consolidated Standard repayment plan until I switched to an Income Driven repayment plan in XXXX. The Direct Consolidated Standard repayment plan is a qualifying repayment plan under the TEPSLF program. I have met all the requirements for the program : I submitted a PSLF Application and had it denied because of non qualifying payments, made 120 payments that qualify under the TEPSLF program, I have over 10 years of full-time employment with a qualifying employer, and my payments 12 months prior to applying for TEPSLF and my most recent payment prior to applying were on a income driven repayment plan. 

Even though I have met all of the requirements, FedLoan Servicing keeps stating I dont have enough qualifying payments. This is absolutely inaccurate and I have all of my statements over the years to prove it.

Company: Lennar Financial Services, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I was initially preapproved with Lennar Mortgage. I was given communication stating that I needed to payoff debt in order to bring my Debt to Income in line and I would be able to close. However once I paid off $ XXXX in debt I was still told that I wasnt fully approved. I was told that I would be refunded my {$7500.00} earnest money and after three weeks of terminating my contract I havent received my earnest money back. I am concerned with the misleading sales tactics by the home loan consultants and them not providing the sales contract addendum disclosures. This was obviously a tactic used to hide additional fees being charged by the builder and unethical business practices. I am also disappointed in the poor communication and delay in refund of my earnest money. I feel that I was XXXX because of my XXXX.
