Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Fraudulent loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I XXXX " Navient phone number '', wanting to contact the company to change my address and have something mailed. I chose the first option that XXXX provided. When visiting XXXX once more ( after my situation was said and done ), this same phone number was not an option at all. It had completely disappeared from XXXX. I called the phone number and was connected to XXXX XXXX, who works for XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is located in XXXX XXXX, California. XXXX 's e-mail address is XXXXXXXXXXXX. XXXX 's phone number is XXXX ext. XXXX. She told me she could not change my address or mail something to my home because she works in a different department. She did however tell me I was eligible to be apart of a program that would help lower my monthly payment. She informed me that Navient was going through a lawsuit and over-charging us customers. She said I would pay a little bit more for the first 2 months and once those were paid for, my monthly payment would lower. She said that would happen for a few months. After a year, my monthly payment would be even lower ; this would happen for another year until my student loans are paid off. I decided to register/apply. I had given this woman all of my information ( even though she stated she works in a different department, she said it was still within Navient ) : addresses, social security number and bank information. I had to create a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had to E-sign a few different documents. All of this happened over the span of 2 days. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was told by XXXX that {$270.00} would be taken out of my checking account for the month of XXXX. My money was taken out the very next day on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On my account summary, it shows up as XXXX XXXX XXXX FL and gives this phone number : XXXX. I called the phone number but was only greeted with a voicemail asking me to leave a message. I also attempted to contact XXXX. My attempts have not been successful ; it seems I am being ignored. Unfortunately, I will not be able to have my money refunded. However, I took the proper steps to protect myself. I contacted my bank and they cancelled my debit card. They will also keep an eye out for XXXX XXXX and will stop them from stealing more money. I checked my credit to make sure nothing has been done using my identity. I also put a security freeze on credit reports.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
We have two different problems. 
The first problem is that our mortgage company changed hands in the beginning of us dealing with losing our home in Hurricane Irma. Because our old mortgage company had already put us in forebearance for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX our new mortgage company accepted those terms. We would like to pay our account up to date but despite numerous phone calls to them asking them to remove fees on our account that are bogus so we can pay up to date they have done nothing. On XXXX XXXX? our account is charged 10 times each a fee of {$1.00} and {$9.00}. When you click on details for this fee there are none. No one knows what those fees are for. We are not supposed to be charged any fees while going through forebearance and refuse to pay our account up to date until our account is fixed. 

The second problem is that our new mortgage company was sent checks from our insurance company for repairs to our home. They were overpaid by over {$13000.00}. By law they are supposed to send that overage to me. I was told this by a person in Loss Draft handling our account, our insurance company says they have cashed the check but 3 weeks later they still owe us {$7500.00} acknowledging that in a phone call but having no reason as to why they havent sent it even though I was told it would be sent by XXXX XXXX immediately. Also their insurance claim website says that we are supposed to receive 25 % of our check to help start repairs which is around {$12000.00} and so far have only received a little over {$2000.00}. We had an inspection where the inspector verified that at least 75 % of our work has been done and the inspection was approved but we still have not received funds to pay our builders, etc. I have been having to put these charges on my credit card and cant keep doing this. Something illegal is going on in this company with them keeping our money. 

On the mortgage side no one bothers to fix our account so we can get it up to date so I dont know if they are trying to do something illegal and maybe get a hold of our house since we only owe {$47000.00} for it and it 's worth {$370000.00}. I 'm not sure if this company is on the up and up. We went through damage with Hurricane Mathew too and got the best customer service from XXXX XXXX and have no idea why I mortgage changed hands unfortunately to a very bad company and possibly illegal and dishonest company. I have contacted an attorney who first told me to file with you.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
The company in question is Diversified Consultants. I  agreed to settle a XXXX account that I had and was promised that the account would be removed from my credit report and it never was. The original balance owed was {$1200.00} and The collection agency for XXXX agreed to remove this account from my credit report if I paid 50 % of the balance which was {$600.00}. I paid {$600.00} with a representative over the phone in XXXX 2017 and the account is still showing up on my credit report as Account legally paid in full for less than the full balance. This is not what was agreed upon and I would like this account fully deleted from my credit report. I feel that the representative I spoke with told me that this account could be removed from my credit report if I paid just to get a payment out of me and I do not think that this is right. Could someone who has the authority to remove this account please review my case? I have called Diversified consultants 3 times trying to get this matter resolved, but to no avail.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX XXXX both my fianc at the time and I decided to split. We were high school sweet hearts and honestly we didnt know much about credit and how to use credit responsibly. My payment history was always on time prior to us splitting up. The problem was that I was always used to having two incomes ( mine and hers ). Transitioning into having one income I was truthfully over my head with utilities, rent, truck payments, medical bills as well as fullfiling credit obligations. I became depressed and ended up having to leave my job. I voiced my problem by which then the representative showed empathy but they couldnt do much else for me. My intentions were to pay my debts as agreed but my only options at that point were to either file bankruptcy or leave my debts unpaid until I could pay them. I now understand what it is to be responsible with credit and paying debts as agreed.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Diversified Consultants Inc. on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX concerning a credit report account opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX for {$2200.00} by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked to receive validation of the debt with an original bill due to the fact I have had XXXX XXXX phone service for years now and the date they placed on my credit report was in no way accurate. The representative and her " supervisor '' told me that they do not actually have a bill and would have to request one and that the date on my credit report is not the original date but the date their company decided to put when they bought the debt. I know this to be illegal not to mention I am being refused my basic right as a consumer, being able to validate this debt with paperwork. The " supervisor '' tried to rush me off the phone saying I would be sent a bill in the mail once they tried to get it from XXXX XXXX XXXX without even having my current address. I stopped him and gave him my current address in which he stated " oh, I was just about to get that. ''

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Residence fell behind while husband was critically ill in XXXX.For months I tried to get Ocwen to allow me to modify my loan and they refused for a year. They " lost '' paperwork over and over that I sent. When they finally allowed it ( after I retained a lawyer ), I paid all the excelerated payments they asked and THEN they refused the last one and said over XXXX was due to reinstate the loan. I have done EVERYTHING requested. In this time, my husband died and I also was trying to get the home titled to me. We were married over 50 years. They have asked for lots of information, which I have sent, MULTIPLE TIMES. I have copies AND I sent info certified. They keep insisting I do n't send the things requested but I have a record. Their tactic is to delay and then take a person 's home. If I have to sue them, I will. They will NOT get my family home. They have stolen, lied and act UNETHICAL over and over. I want the home in my name, I want them to adjust the payments back to what they were, take my payments and leave me the XXXX alone. Do Something about these Crooks! My last letter from them is dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( they are again asking for things " missing ''. But these items WERE included in previous pkg. I have a copy!! ). I now have only missed payments because they have Refused it. I will file bankruptcy if needed, they have had plenty of opportunity to allow for modification ( if anyone needed it, an elderly woman, with deceased husband does ). They have only exacerbated ALL THE PROBLEMS.

Complaint narrative:
Although this is my 2nd Complaint with CFPD, Experian still refuses to adhere to FCRA rules and regulations. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the credit bureau must complete their investigation no later than ( 30 ) days or the item ( s ) in question must be DELETED from the consumer 's credit report. Unfortunately, it took Experian ( 49 ) or  more days to complete my investigation, well exceeding the allotted time frame pursuant to FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Also, Experian refused to provide me with a Method Of Verification that they used to determined the validity and accuracy of the item ( s ) that is required by law, pursuant to 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Therefore, Experian are in violation for both their willful and negligent non-compliance according to 616. Civil liability for willful noncompliance ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ) and 616. Civil liability for negligent noncompliance ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ). These are some but not all of the violation that were committed by Experian ; yet, the remaining violations are listed in my attached documents.
