Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Transunion on XXXX XXXX, 2017 @ XXXX informing them of the fraudulent inquiries on my credit report due to a computer glitch that was Transunion problem caused my inquiries to be deleted. Transunion later added them all back onto my credit report without giving me the legally required 5 day notice prior to them being re added. I was transferred around until I spoke with a supervisor whom I explained to that my identity had been stolen and I sent them a copy of my police report months ago to no avail. The supervisor located the documents and proceeded to transfer me to the fraud dept whom he stated would help me with the removals of the fraudulent inquiries. In turn I was hung up on after being on the line for 42 minutes and did n't get to speak with anyone. All of these inquiries add a hardship and my rights were violated by Transunion. I asked that the CFPB help me stop Transunion from victimizing me.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
From XXXX to XXXX, Navy Federal Credit Union threatened me with hundreds of letters, phone calls to relatives, robo phone calls at XXXX, kept seizing my assets in savings and checking account in order to make me a member " not in good standing '', threats to my commanding officer, and countless other tactics that caused emotional distress while trying to study for new career after serving in the military. I kept NavyFCU informed of my income status and made payment arangements. I even would deposit more than minimum required. Harassment got worse and worse despite being a customer since XXXX, and having several paid in full accounts including auto and signature loans fully satisfied with never a late payment prior to XXXX. Every letter said that it would be impossible to establish credit again. All accounts charged off after impossible payments were demanded. I was never litigated against, my car secured by loan was never seized. I doubled my payments ( even though I was n't financial able ) in order show that I was trying, but I was treated like a criminal.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Fedloan capitalized XXXX in interest to the principle of my loan because, under my repayment plan REPAYE, if you are not re-enrolled every year in the same plan without a gap, any interest is capitalized. If it had not capitalized, this plan would subsidize the interest, which is why I chose it. 

In early 2017 when I reapplied for the plan, Fedloan let me know over the phone that it may take longer for my application to process because there is trouble getting income tax info electronically and everything is done manually. My application took much longer than the estimated time ( 14 business days ) so I was subsequently kicked off the REPAYE plan. Soon after my application was approved and I was re-enrolled in REPAYE. But, during that short gap, the interest to be subsidized capitalized to my principle. 

Over the phone, the representative agreed that I had applied on time but they took too long to process. But, they believed that my interest should have been capitalized even due to their own delay. Twice, I submitted a request to review what happened and never got a response. I was told by one agent that I should have thought of this before I took out so many loans. I was also told that I should not care that my principle is XXXX more because " it will be forgiven in 25 years ''. That XXXX will accumulate interest as well and I will ultimately pay taxes on it if it is forgiven.
I feel Fedloan is being careless about helping me follow and stay on my payment plan, and even carelessly adding thousands of dollars to my debt. I do n't feel like I have a voice and I have to give into anything they do because there is no oversight.

Company: Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Consumer portfolio services and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX entered an agreement with us on XX/X/2011 for a 60 mo loan. it should of been over by last XX/XX/XXXX yet it is showing we still owe 5+ payments at late fees. They have improperly applied payments to interest instead of applying any of the extra money to any owed fees and principal as they should of. They were ready to " settle '' the account for less, but failed to even mention the fact that it would damage our credit even further than it already had. We started off paying ahead on the loan, and yet still got it with late fees, which started a downward spiral of credit issues on this account and every time paid extra to get back on track they would mislead us and apply the money incorrectly. now I am still paying on a car almost a year after it was supposed to be paid off, how is that even possible. if we would n't of got a second opinion on this, then we could of been stuck in a cycle of paying for this car forever, even thought the bank received more than their fair share.

Company: Equitable Acceptance Corp
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2017 I was contacted by XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, " a government funded program to help students through loan forgiveness. '' She told me that I might be eligible for 100 % loan forgiveness and that I should complete an application to see. After completing the application she told me that I qualified for {$0.00} payments 240/mo if I accepted this management fee of $ XXXX/mo for 36 months for them to handle the docs and applications. So the hook was saying " would you rather pay -- $ XXXX/mo for 36 months to have $ XXXX/mo payments through the remainder of your 240/mo term -- or pay your current payment of 90/mo for the remainder of your 240/mo term? '' to me it seemed like a no brainer so I went through the process and signed papers to have them handle the refinance.
What I am realizing now is that I could have done this process myself for free by just calling Navient. I am angered and frustrated that a company can target and swindle student loan holders who, like me, are young, hardworking, and just trying to do whats best for themselves and their future. Even if the fine print covers Equitable Acceptance legally which I WILL have a professional to look into ... it is unethical to mislead the consumer into thinking they are taking an option that is n't offered anywhere else, nonetheless for free and is a blind robbery of people who do n't have money to spare in the first place!
