Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I went to XXXX XXXX at XXXX in XXXX and XXXX school year. Graduation was in XX/XX/XXXX. I took out 6 loans via XXXX. They were 2 Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2 Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans 1 Fed Direct Grad PLUS Loan For roughly $ 55K total The loan rates varied between 6.5 % -8.5 % - which I was told would be able to be refinanced as they were too high and that was not true. 

After school, those loans were sold to different companies, all of whom I had to chase down to figure our where/how to pay my bill. The different companies were XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   Over time, I paid of 2 of the loans as well as paying monthly payments. 
I think that's all and then I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which no longer exists ) and swindled into consolidating into 1 loan - they said it would lower interest and put me on a PAYE to lower payments as I was struggling living in XXXX trying to make them. Unfortunately, that was also not true, my percent is 7.75 % ( 7.5 % with auto-pay ) and while I have a PAYE, my balance continues to grow and is now 41 % HIGHER than I borrowed. It feels like a black hole. 
I have repeatedly asked for a way to lower the interest rates and I have been told that only an act of Congress could do that. Additionally I have verbally and in writing ( via their website ) requested that payments could be applied to the principal. They said no, only when interest is done, later they contradicted by saying that if I paid more than the minimum payment, I could direct that to be applied to principal. I just submitted an excess payment and specified that it should be applied to a loan section with less interest and a lower amount and they refused to do so, holding it as " pending '' until the next billing cycle and then not applying it where I specified. I am infuriated and fed up with being taken advantage of. 
I have asked for a copy of my Master Promissory Note, my servicer told me I had to go to the studentloans.gov site to find that - there is no record of it there, when I emailed to ask where it was the studentloans.gov site told me I had to ask my provider for that. It seems no one can produce my Master Promissory note. I have also asked for a complete record of my accounts what I have paid who as I am trying to determine what I have actually already paid as my balance NEVER GOES DOWN. Please advise.

Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
At the time of this loan my name was XXXX XXXX. I got the loan in XX/XX/XXXX. I started off pretty good, but through the course of the loan I lost my job and had to take a lesser paying job in XXXX. My finances decreased and I couldnt really afford the car. GM Financial offered me deferment to get current. Eventually I fell behind again. I had lost another job, I dealt with the lost of my daughters father to XXXX, after while I asked about refinancing and they said they didnt do any refinancing. I tried my local bank and they told me I was upside down in the vehicle. So there I was stuck in a car loan that I couldnt get current in no matter how hard I tried. My loan was for about {$15000.00} and by the time I voluntarily surrendered the car I still owed them {$12000.00}. I was disgusted, depressed, and felt taken advantage of. I couldnt see myself throwing money away to interest and never owning the car. I felt relieved afterwards but still upset because I threw away so much money. Now Im still owing a balance on car I dont have and it is negatively affecting my credit. No one at GMFinancisl every told me that it wAs a simple interest loan or what my per diem rate was. Now I know about these things I feel that this was a ripoff, like predatory lending. I feel this balance should be XXXX and removed from my credit reports

Furthermore, I requested until they could produce competent evidence no future actions should be against me. At the end of a reasonable time if they can not provide competent evidence proving the erroneous debt they remove the erroneous mark from my credit report. I filed a dispute with the credit reporting agencies simultaneously. 

I received delivery conformation both letters where delivered from the US Mail service, but no response from either XXXX XXXX XXXX nor Bay Area Receivables. XXXX removed the mark from my credit report. 

In XXXX I discovered the erroneous/fraudulent mark on my credit report. I responded by sending a second letter to both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Bay Area Receivables followed by another dispute with XXXX. I did not receive a response from any parties, so I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX via phone. The accounting/billing department told me we had no record of the debt. 

I have no recollection of this debt nor have I ever received validation from either party to the validating the debt or the soundness of the report mark. This is a medical bill on my credit report! 

Today, I discovered the mark on my credit report once again. I contacted XXXX   and filed another complaint. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX via phone. The Vice President is having a letter drafted stating this is an erroneous account. 

The alleged debt is a medical bill dating back 8 years. I have never given anyone authorization to report medical debt on my consumer report. I am demanding it is removed today!

Complaint narrative:
The last 2 pages of the PDF evidence can be disregarded. They go to the XXXX XXXX complaint. 
I contacted Experian credit bureau for months attempting to get them to correct my file regarding the XXXX XXXX account. Although they acted like they were going to do something, in the end they not only refused to change it, but told me they wont allow me to attempt to dispute it any further. 
I sent them copies of the pending court case which was enough for XXXX to remove it, but not good enough for Experian. So instead of reporting it as on litigation hold like were supposed to by law, they showed missed payments and finally a charge-off before it even went to court since they kept sending me continuances until their attorney sent me a fake continuance which the court decided was fine by them and the BAR Assoc. didnt believe it was done on purpose.

So it is still affecting my credit score and still unresolved.
