Complaint narrative:
I am a single mother raising a XXXX. I have been targeted by lender and I feel this is based on my culture. I know that my counterparts many paid for school out of pocket. As a minority we are are the last hired at the lowest pay scales. I can accept that there is not much I can do about this type of discrimination. Now lender discrimination is a legal matter that should be addressed. I have on credit report 41 different accounts reporting of student loans. Each of these account have changed hands several time without any notice to me as the consumer. All accounts are showing negative payment history. Each lender has baited and switched these accounts for leveraging against me as single parent. I have received correspondence from the bureaus stating that they have removed an account or updated an account. When I look closer I see that they are still circumventing the rules. They are actually responding without even looking at the actual dispute because if I address 41 negative student loans account and the bureaus address one out of 41, they are still omitting the fact. As long as lenders are doing this my XXXX and I have no future because we can not pay in full student loan debt. I am trying to get better rate but these lenders have my family captured by using this process.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Good Morning, So here is my issue I 'm more concerned with how to fix the problem with private loans as I have no issues with the one small loan I have as a XXXX federal fixed rate loan. I graduated in XXXX XXXX and it 's like I 'm paying a second mortgage back ( over $ 40K ) after consolidating years ago on several fixed rated loans through XXXX XXXX, now known as Navient. I wanted one bill instead of several so I made that mistake, I will never consolidate again!! Learned my lesson. I have reached out to Navient multiple times and they keep saying the same option and only option I have. Their forbearance option is a joke!!!! Why would I want to raise my interest as it sits for 4 months unpaid and pay them {$50.00} more dollars to set that plan up!!! Navient is not willing to work with me on anything to get a lower monthly paying and it 's almost up to {$300.00} a month as the interest on this loan as has risen 3 times in the past 3 to 4 months. My husband and I both work FT and very hard but this bill has given us nothing but grief and if it sends me/us into collections and screws up my personal credit we will never be able to move forward in any way, new house, new car if needed, any medical expenses we are trying to pay off etc. We have a house to pay for, cars, medical bills, daycare expenses etc. and two young ones to make sure they are taking care of at Drs. appt., when needed etc. This is making it very difficult for us to keep up with other bills, their daycare expenses, paying our mortgage on time and putting food on the table among other unexpected bills that can occur through the months. I know there are many people, students in this predicament and I feel this needs to be addressed immediately and taken very seriously. I ca n't even transfer this loan to a personal or to another lender if I want to as it 's too much money to pay off anywhere else and I ca n't get a personal loan in this amount, it 's not allowed. The interest rate on this loan has risen at least 3 times in the past several months and if the bill goes up to {$300.00} as it 's already XXXX, I will have no choice but to not pay it as food on the table for our boys and being able to keep our house and have heat from oil deliveries needed is more important. I do n't want this to affect our credit as we hope to move within the next year or two. However, if we lose our home etc. because of them it would be a tragedy and I would be very furious. This is unfair!!!!!!!! PRIVATE LOANS MUST BE ADDRESSED!!!!!! I ca n't stress this enough. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE THEY DESTROY MY LIFE AND SO MANY OTHERS!! 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This is in regards to XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting on my credit files. XXXX  is reporting inaccuracies on my files. This account is closed and have been closed for over 2 years, yet XXXX is reporting this account as open. Also this is a charge off and in the payment status XXXX is reporting it as Charge off/Collection. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act this is only supposed to be reported as a charge off and not as a charge off/collection. Another issue is that the amount that is being reported is incorrect. This account is closed and XXXX recently increase the amount of the charge off which is not accurate and TD can not increase this according to State and Federal Law. Also I want XXXX comments on this account to be removed from my files. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act I can have any comments on the accounts on my file remove. Therefore I want all TD comments in the Remark Section to be removed Immediately. To this date I still have not received my personal properties from XXXX XXXX, and also XXXX has sent me a letter stating that they were going to reduce the amount by {$400.00} after I filed a complaint through Better Business Bureau. So how is it that XXXX  make this promise and never fulfil their promise. This is another act of deceptive practice by XXXX XXXX. I have to pay over {$1000.00} to replace my belongs that XXXX XXXX, and whoever acted on behalf of XXXX fail to give me back. Now I contact Transunion so that they can investigate this account, and they are telling me they cant investigate it. Now according to the fair credit reporting Act Credit bureaus are supposed to investigate any information a consumer challenge on their credit files. Now I want XXXX to fix their errors on my credit Files, and Transunion to fully investigate not partially, but in whole.

Company: FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE CO.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I had called in to customer service because we had issue trying to make our XX/XX/XXXX payment online. After speaking with an agent, she informed us that it was due to us being approved the loan modification program, which would lower our payments. During the conversation, I was informed that we did need to make a payment until our XX/XX/XXXX payment was due, on XX/XX/XXXX. When XX/XX/XXXX rolled around we noticed that our XX/XX/XXXX payment we into a past due status and I contact the company again to resolve this. At that time I was informed that the call would have to be reviewed, and the agent did see the notes clearly on our account that stated we were informed no payment was due until XX/XX/XXXX. He even mentioned it would take about a week to review and to call back. A week later I called back and was informed it was still being review, and to call back. I gave it a few more weeks and called back the end of XX/XX/XXXX to make our XX/XX/XXXX payment over the phone, and scheduled it for XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, the agent after asking about the status mentioned that it was still being reviewed, and proceeded to inform me that it would be updated on our credit that Franklin is working with us. That is incorrect, because I pulled my credit report this month as a result of the Breech, and we are still showing
30 and 60 days past due, for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. We in good faith, did exactly what we had been advised by the rep in XX/XX/XXXX and made no payments until XX/XX/XXXX. We have even during this period of time left message on the online messaging system to seek a resolution, which all 3 have been clo
sed with no outcome or response from Franklin American. The first inquiry online was on the old system and got purged, on the consumer side, when the new website went live, the other 2 have been closed. One indicating we need to verify who we were, which we did when we signed into the account. The second request on the new system was again an attempt to resolve, and was closed with no comments on outcome.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
1. Navient made predatory loans to students attending schools with graduation rates of less than 50 percent, expecting students wouldnt be able to repay their loans.

2. Navient used a baited hook with subprime loans to become a preferred lender for many schools and increase its volume, even though it knew subprime student loan borrowers would likely default.

3. After the implementation of income-driven repayment ( IDR ), Navient knowingly steered borrowers toward forbearance instead of counseling them about more affordable repayment plans.

Complaint narrative:
I have tried again and again to try to get help with my student loans. I have been told over and over that forbearance is my only option while I work out how to handle the loan after the XXXX of my father and have taken that route to avoid further damage to my credit for years. I have attempted to speak to the debt collectors when they call and have been yelled at even when trying to explain the situation and that I need help in order to resolve the problem. If I could pay half of my loan off on the call, I would have paid my payments on time. I still have yet to have an explanation as to why, after the XXXX of my father who is on my loan, I ca n't refinance it in my name or why it wo n't go away completely. I am beyond the point of catching up and this business does n't seem to want to help me do that as long as my loan keeps collecting the ridiculous interest rate put on it.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Complaint narrative:
After initiating an XXXX loan application with the Navy Federal business services representative in my local area, using my home address as we established our franchise aquisition, my husband and I each received debit cards and the accompanying pin numbers, from Navy Federal, at the retail store location, before we took pocession of the business or had access to that mail. 
We later received an account statement that was opened for our business, under the company name, that was opened XXXX, using a wire deposit from my personal checking account, of {$100.00}. 
On XXXX the account was closed. 
I DID NOT REQUEST OR AUTHORIZE ANY OF THESE TRANSACTIONS! 
I was only aware that the XXXX did not approve our loan and so I did not anticipate working with Navy Federal commercial banking in any way, into the future. How and by whom were these cards and this account initiated?

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Receivables Management Partners, LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Please be aware we have and can provide a copy of an audio recording of today 's call in which multiple representatives from XXXX XXXX XXXX repeatedly refused to send my husband a letter describing why they started calling his cell phone on Saturday. Excerpts of that audio recording are attached with this complaint. We have stellar credit and in recently purchasing a home reviewed all our credit reports. So it would be surprising if the calls involve collection of any legitimate debt and regardless, the tactics used in refusing to send anything in writing were outrageous. In both calls, including the one that we recorded this morning, the company 's representatives repeatedly asked for my husband to disclose sensitive personal information to them over the phone -- including his date of birth and even his Social Security number -- before they would agree to tell him why they are calling. The call was on speaker phone so we could record it. When my husband challenged the supervisor for asking him to provide his Social Security number in an age when identify theft is rampant, she demurred that she was just providing him options. When we both asked the company to send information in writing, because we 're not comfortable giving out personal information over the phone, they eventually claimed the company sent a letter on XXXX XXXX. We said we did n't receive any letter and asked them to resend it. They refused saying they ca n't send us anything XXXX even to whatever address they have on file and that they would have used to allegedly send the first letter XXXX without my husband first providing sensitive personal information to them by phone. Multiple representatives, including but not limited to a supervisor who said her name was XXXX XXXX, another employee who said her name was XXXX, and another supervisor who gave his name as XXXX, did this repeatedly on the call that we recorded. The recording shows that multiple XXXX XXXX XXXX employees flat-out refuse to send anything about their collection purpose in writing. If CFPB is interested in taking regulatory action against this company, we can provide the much longer recording. In addition, the company indicated that it also was recording the call for verification and training purposes. So CFPB can also seek a copy of the company 's recording to further verify our complaint about their tactics.
