Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
In 2005 I filed bankruptcy and my student loans were discharged. I never dealt with Navinent and I am constantly received numerous harassing telephone calls about fake loan forgiveness and other XXXX. I am called several times a day. The student loans were paid by the Colorado Student Bond Authority. There were no exceptions in the bankruptcy discharge regarding student loans. I am sick and tired of the harassment. The U.S. Department of Education said that they were above the judge. I am not sure of who the lender is anymore. I do not know if this was a private loan or a Stafford Loan. It was paid off by the Colorado Student Bond Authority.

I have a copy of the lien, but I do not have it saved as a document so I can not attach it. Please let me know if there is other information you may need for your investigation.

This contact has occurred despite the fact that a valid phone number is on file with the company and that I have tried to settle the debt ( which I described in a previous CFPB complaint ).

Please contact Citibank N/A, immediately, make them cease and desist. There is no reason for Citibank N/A to contact my employer and I have contacted an attorney, so as to hold the firm responsible for their abusive debt collection practices.

Company: AMERICAN INTERNET MORTGAGE

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Aim Loan. On XXXX XXXX, I scheduled a mortgage payment to process out of my checking account on XXXX XXXX. I did this at Aim Loan 's online mortgage website. On XXXX XXXX and XXXX, I tried to cancel that payment, but I could n't find anywhere to do that online. On XXXX XXXX, I called Aim Loan, and their offices were closed. On XXXX XXXX, I called Aim Loan and got through to customer service. I was informed that I could n't cancel or change the appointment because it was " outside of the change window. '' I asked what the change window was and was told that I had ONE HOUR ( after I scheduled the payment ) to change or cancel that payment. Nowhere on the website ( as confirmed by an Aim Loan supervisor ), does it tell me that I had only ONE HOUR to change or cancel that payment. Had I known that, I would n't have scheduled that payment. The supervisor told me that the only way I would have known that is if I 'd called and asked. I called my bank to stop the payment, and it 's {$20.00} to do that. I will pay it, but I should not have to since there was no information about the ONE HOUR. Also, I have no idea if Aim Loan will also charge me. Please let me know how to proceed.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I received my XXXX XXXX statement and was irritated to see a balance of {$29.00} because I pay the card in full every month and knew I should not have a balance. I reviewed my online account and learned that amount was for " late fees '' and " interest. '' I called and was told my payment was processed after the cutoff time for payments so it posted the next day and therefore I was assessed the fees and interest. On the day I received the statement, XXXX XXXX, I made an online payment in the amount of {$29.00} to pay the late fees and interest in full. I contacted customer service and asked that my account be closed immediately. I received an email confirmation that " per your request, I have closed your account. Your current balance is {$0.00} ... '' Today I received a statement saying I owe a " minimum charge fee '' and that a " monthly billing statement will be sent until the balance is paid in full. '' I do not find in my disclosures any reference to a minimum charge fee. How can such a fee be charged on a closed account? Customer service states this is a normal fee assessed for producing a statement. How can additional charges be assessed after a company confirms in writing that your account is paid in full and closed? I have attached a copy of the statement in question as well as the email from the credit card company confirming the account was previously closed with a XXXX balance prior to the statement being produced. It is my desire for this account to be closed, for the subsequent fees after my closure request/confirmation be removed and to receive no further information from this company ever. Can you assist with that? Thank you so much for your time.

I received an Agreement with no beginning or expiration date after I was told the contract would expire one year after the date of the agreement. 2. I met the verbal agreement. . 4.

Since XXXX continued to bill me, I wrote two letters to XXXX and asked that they cease billing me and to close the account. I was told by XXXX they received the letters but unless I sign an early termination agreement, the letters were irrelevant and the account would remain open.
