Complaint narrative:
My FICO score dropped significantly due to unpaid debt to a Gap credit card. The Gap Credit card debt was true, but I want to explain why I made the mistake.

I opened the gap store card when I bought Gap clothing valued {$28.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. After four days, I returned all theclothing to the same storeon XX/XX/XXXX. The cashier refund {$28.00} to a cash card, not to the original payment method as others do usually ( see attachment 1 ). So it give me the wrong impression that I don't owe any amount on this card. In addition, XXXX/XXXX had a wrong address on my profile. XXXX XXXX   showedmy original address isXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , IL XXXX ( see the attachment 2 ). Its a wrong because it has no APT number.I provided the right address with APT number when I opened the credit card. 
The consequence of a wrong address is that I have never received the Gap credit card or monthly statements. I didn't know the unpaid debt until XX/XX/XXXX, when I received a letter from XXXX XXXX notifying me that I need to pay a debt of $ XXXX.Because I was abroad at that time, it was difficult for me to figure out what's going on. All I can do then was to payback the moneyto XXXX XXXX as soon as possible. 
I don't have any intentionto not pay off the debt, it's just {$28.00}. I am new to the country. So I am not familiar with the system, which is why I made the mistakes. However, the wrong information on the bank system also partially caused my account to go to delinquent. None of this would happen if I had received those monthly statements. Can you please recover my credit score partly since I am not the only one who should be blamed for? 
BTW, the phone number on the credit report is also wrong.The correct number is ( XXXX ) XXXX, not ( XXXX ) XXXX.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have had numerous issues with Navient Private Student Loan Dept in the past. I was on an interest only program but was unaware that it had expired. I answered one of their calls from Ms. '' XXXX '' on XX/XX/18 at approx XXXX. I explained to her that I could not make the full payments but would like to be on a modified payment program. I explained that my mom had passed and I was left with all the household bills and even had to get a vehicle in my name. She was polite at first and said she would try to help me. That changed very quickly as she begun to ask me extremely personal questions about some of my debts and personal accounts. She told me I had no right to get a car loan when I had a responsibility to Navient and that should be my priority. She asked me why didn't I have a better job and suggested I wasted my education. She asked what kind of things were on my credit cards and named some of them for me. I quickly realized that she had pulled my credit report without my permission. I finally asked them to not contact me by phone but they continue to. I later confirmed that this is standard practice and was told they don't have to ask for my permission.

Complaint narrative:
I am currently being sued after not one but two attempts to be sued for a purchased amount by XXXX XXXX XXXX. They purchased a debt worth {$1300.00}. XXXX and another debt worth {$980.00} however, for both debts I have not been notified of 1.

It is to my understanding that XXXX XXXX XXXX is aware that I am entitled to this information and relies very heavily on that possibility that I may not be fully aware of my rights and reluctancy to attend court or reluctancy to dispute lawsuit is the premise of their business. I now have XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report and would like it removed. I am going to court to on XX/XX/2018 to vacate a default judgement that was motioned on XX/XX/2018 by XXXX XXXX XXXX because I was never properly served. There was a failed attempt at being served by XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX via certified mail but no record of my signature indicating that I received a summons because I did not. After being told the case was thrown out due to their method of communication I was under the impression the case was done. However, now I have to defend my rights under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and ask the judge to vacate the judgement.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
We hired a contractor to reroof our house - the job was satisfactorily completed on XX/XX/2018. On XX/XX/2018, a loan was negotiated with a Florida bank at 0 % interest if repaid in 18 months. On XX/XX/2018 the bank issued a payment invoice : payment was due by XX/XX/XXXX, with a minimum payment of {$280.00}. Our check for {$700.00} was written on XX/XX/2018, and paid as an electronic check on XX/XX/2018. Meanwhile, the contractor notified us that they had not been paid the {$11000.00} on which we were making loan payments. In a telephone call, the bank said that the contractor 's account was " under review '' and might not be paid for up to 180 days. The bank insists that we must continue to make at least minimum payments or be in default, whether or not the {$11000.00} is disbursed to the contractor. 

In what galaxy is it legal for a bank to demand and collect repayment on a loan it has not disbursed?

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: KEYCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have made payments to the bank ( KeyBank ) servicer XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and they are failing to properly credit my account ie. applying payments to federal loans only and not applying to my private loans. As a result they are incorrectly charging penalties, interest and ultimately reporting false information regarding late payments to the credit bureaus resulting in an unjustified low credit score when since XX/XX/2018 I have made multiple payments to them.

I have my bank statements and the email confirmations from their systems regarding payments. I want them to review all of the payments made in XX/XX/2018 to determine where my money is going and to find out if they are properly crediting my account. They also need to remove the late payments and interest for all payments from XX/XX/2018 toXX/XX/2018.

Further, I have mentioned to them that I am now unemployed as of XX/XX/2018and as of this writing they have failed to immediately provide me with proper documents ( why must they mail blank forms in 10 days vs. email?! ) in order to assist me with the restructuring of repayment of my private loans so that there is no default/further interest rate charges. They were able to assist with Federal loan deferment over the phone! They cause unnecessary delays when they can fax or email blank forms to me directly ... its ridiculous. Further, the right hand is not talking to the left. The bank contracts with its servicer to collect payments from me, yet they can not speak to them directly to find out if payments have been made or credited. I have to be subjected to unnecessary harassment by the collections department when my documentation clearly shows I am making multiple payments ... requiring me on a conference call is a clear delay tactic as they should be able to talk directly to the company they hire to collect funds from me.
