Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I was unable to make payments for a while. I eventually was able to get back on track with a payment-plan. I have been making payments in the amount they set that are automatically being taken by Sallie Mae from my bank account. However, they are still calling, emailing, and sending mail to both me and my cosigner. They are claiming that I have not paid and that I am going to be put into default.

They also have not updated their website to show that I have been making payments or that there is even an agreed payment-plan in place.

I have asked three times for a copy of the payment plan agreement and they told me " we do not do that ''. I have no proof other than the fact that they have been taking money out of my account automatically.

Company public response: Company believes complaint is the result of an isolated error

Company: Suttell, Hammer & White, P.S
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I used the XXXX XXXX app to dispute charges. There were multiple charges that I didnt charge. They did take some of the smaller charges off but the larger ones were not taken off. Im unable to access my account online so I called XXXX XXXX for all documents regarding my transactions and disputes. I was told that they didnt have them and they were sent to collections ( Suttell & Hammer ). I stopped making payments after they refused to remove the charges I disputed. I applied for e statements so I dont have any paper bills or statements. I also didnt receive a validation letter or any itemized charges from collections. I didnt receive any proof that I in fact used the card for the disputed transactions. Im being sued for {$5600.00}. Unfortunately my bank account I was using at the time has been closed. I made multiple payments. The credit limit was {$5000.00}. When I stopped using the card and stopped making payments the balance was around {$3000.00}. I really need statements so I know exactly how much and when I paid. The collection agency called multiple times a day sometimes as late as XXXX. I believed the charges I disputed were made by a employee without permission and my wallet was also stolen. I made a police report but unfortunately in the report they didnt specify what was in the wallet. So I really dont k ow who charged the card. I received a letter from Suttle and hammer stating they would accept monthly payments of {$150.00} a month until the balanced is paid in full. I do not want to accept that. Id rather pay one payment of {$1000.00} or make monthly payments of {$100.00} for 12 months. If they wont accept that Id rather just not pay anything. Should I send a counter offer letter?

I currently own an XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card. For the past year, I have not been able to log in online and access my account. I have called customer service and each time I speak to a customer care representative, the actions and answers to help resolve the solution have all been inconclusive with " technical glitch '' or " please contact customer care. '' All actions they advised and instructed were steps, I have done on my own as the website typical recommends and prior to calling Customer care. Representatives have also admitted to me, they " are working on resolving the online access. '' However, this seems to be false as it has been over a year since I have NOT been able to log into my account. Any attempts to reset my password, again, states, " technical glitch '' and to " try again. '' All attempts, consistently unsuccessful. 

On my last call with a customer care representative, in XX/XX/2023, after first requesting assistance to access my online account ( again ), I requested to reactivate and receive paper statements since access to my online account was not possible. The representative proceeded to state, the only way for me to reactivate paper statements is to login into my account. This clearly indicated the company and representatives position to keep customers out of their online account and making any changes. 

No confirmation emails, surveys or documentation to prove my attempts calling Customer Care at Comenity BankXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were ever sent from them to verify my calls or attempts.
