Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
My concern is that I was recently informed by Nelnet that I do not qualify for the Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program. I have been a XXXX XXXX for 10 years beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, and therefore have made over 10 years worth of student loan payments to Nelnet. I consolidated my student loans in XX/XX/XXXX when I graduated from XXXX XXXX. 

I was told that I do not have the right type of loans to qualify for the forgiveness program. This comes after YEARS of understanding that I would qualify for the program. Nelnet has recently indicated that the only way for me to qualify for the forgiveness program is to re-consolidate my student loans and make 10 more years of payments since none of my previous payments would qualify. 

I feel like Nelnet and the Federal Government has mislead me with an understanding that I would qualify for the forgiveness program. 

Thank you

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I believe the confusion started when Chase took over Washington Mutual. After that switch I was never informed about my old account. I just started recieving letters from Chase from what I can remember. I was confused because I was n't aware about the switch so i did n't think to pay Chase anything. On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, the United States Office of Thrift Supervision ( OTS ) seized XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX , XXXX. and placed it into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ( FDIC ).  The OTS took the action due to the withdrawal of {$16.00} billion in deposits during a 9-day bank run ( amounting to 9 % of the deposits it had held on XX/XX/XXXX ). The FDIC sold the banking subsidiaries ( minus unsecured debt and equity claims ) to JPMorgan Chase for {$1.00} billion, which JPMorgan Chase had been planning to acquire as part of a confidential plan internally nicknamed Project West. All XXXX branches were rebranded as Chase branches by the end of XX/XX/XXXX. The holding company, XXXX XXXX , XXXX., was left with {$33.00} billion in assets, and {$8.00} billion debt, after being stripped of its banking subsidiary by the FDIC.The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX , XXXX. filed for Chapter XXXX voluntary bankruptcy in Delaware, where it was incorporated.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Payroll card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Problem using the card to withdraw money from an ATM
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX, I attempted to make a withdrawal from my payroll card and discovered that my entire pay had been withdrawn. I called the number on the back of the card, which was issued by Bank of America, and was advised that the money had been withdrawn in XXXX County, Florida that morning. I filed a dispute by telephone and was given instructions to send written documentation. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Bank of America stating that they had determined that there was no fraud and they had closed their investigation due to " inconsistent, conflicting information ''. This was before they could possibly have received the documentation that they requested. 
I received a new payroll card and did receive my next payroll, but did not receive any of my money that was due to me on XX/XX/XXXX. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I faxed an appeal letter to Bank of America with all documentation proving that I had not been out of the State of Texas in XX/XX/XXXX. In fact, I had been at work for XXXX, XXXX, working on the Toll XXXX extension in XXXX County, Texas. My card had been in my possession the entire time. 
In fact, it would have been impossible for anyone to have used my card to withdraw my pay in XXXX County, Florida and be back in Texas when I used my card at the ATM in XXXX, Texas. Bank of America is well aware of this fact, and it is my opinion that they closed the fraud investigation without any investigation at all. 
I have called repeatedly to inquire about the status of the appeal and have been told that they have 90 days to investigate it, and that they will not credit me for the amount while they investigate. This has created a hardship for me, losing my entire paycheck to fraud and I have no way to prevent it happening again.

Company: ERC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have told this company ( ERC Holdings LLC located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX ) several times on RECORDED LINE to Cease and Desist contacting my phone number. The Debt Collector is using a similar debtor name attempting verification of a debt not owed by me. My phone number is NOT listed, and, for them to obtain my number is using illegal privacy invasive methods on an innocent. This company was warned to remove my number, and, at the time they said the number was being deleted, however the harassment continues. I have maintained a call log with caller identification to show this harassment to the CFPB, FTC and Attorney General. This federal complaint serves as written demand to CEASE AND DESIST. I do NOT verify any debt. Any further contact " written, electronic, or by phone will be viewed as ILLEGAL. I will take full advantage of Federal Law and take legal action if these wrong attempts do not immediately stop.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I received a call from XXXX at East Point Recovery group. My phone disconected as I was talking to him before he even had a chance to say what the call was about and inmediately he called my sister exactly 3 minutes after and then my husband. He told my sister to take a message for me to which she said she wasnt interested but if she was I am sure he was ready to disclose my debt. I do not want this company to contact me or anybody who is related to me let alone share personal information. XXXX voice on his voice mail was rude and I have no desire on having any type of contact with him. I know theyre not supposed to harrass me or any of my family members as well as not supposed to offer to leave messages for me with anyone so I hope this issue is solved.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Fraudulent loan
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with CFPB which Ally closed but the issue has not been resolved. As of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX their fraud department updated me that they confirmed my identity for the fraudulent loan based on my identity documents I submitted. However, the individual using my social security number to open the loan has not complied and has not responded to their requests to confirm his identity. Ally said they are still investigating the matter, but they will likely let the individual keep the automobile and loan because he has been making payments. I asked for written proof that my social security number is dissociated with this fraudulent loan and removed from my credit profile, which I was told they would not do. Ally said they will not provide anything in writing to prove that they have taken steps to dissociate my information from this fraudulent loan and that they can only give me their word. I do n't find this a legitimate manner of doing business and do n't understand how they can deny providing written proof that they will do what they are stating on the phone they will do. I question their underwriting process that allows them to approve auto loans when 2 individuals with different names are listed under the same social, especially since I have a fraud alert on my credit file.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Pacific Union Financial, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage loan with Pacific Union Financial LLC. This was a VA loan that I closed on in XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX customer service that following year in XX/XX/XXXX to ask them to increase my escrow amount given that the first years taxes were on my land value only and did not include my improvements ( my property ). I had an estimated bill from my county that showed the new escrow amount but they would not allow the increase. I then asked if I could send them extra funds so that there would be a sufficietn amount in escrow to pay taxes at which time they stated that any extra money would be applied to principal only. Given this outcome, I was forced to wait until XXXX XXXX paid my taxes at which time my account is now in the negative {$3000.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I recieved an escrow analysis detailing this event and was given two options : 1. Do nothing and my mortgage increases to {$2700.00} from {$1900.00} and 2. Pay {$5500.00} and my mortgage payment increases to {$2300.00}. The problem with either scenario is that XXXX XXXX is requesting I overfund my account by over {$2500.00} dollars ; money in which they will have to return to me within 30 days according to 12 CFR 1024.17 ( f ). I called XXXX XXXX on two occasions to ask for a reanalysis and on my second call I spoke with a supervisor XXXX ID # XXXX. XXXX informed me that she understood the law but stated that it is XXXX XXXX 's proceedures to have a " cushion. '' I again explained that it is against the law for them to keep a surplus amount above the amount for my taxes and insurance needs and need the mortgage amount changed. XXXX explained that this could not happen. I then asked XXXX what would happen if I paid the {$3000.00} decficit then paid {$2300.00} and she stated that would be a partial payment and my account would be in default. Please note, my principal and interest payment is only {$1800.00} a month.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I had a quote done in XX/XX/XXXX with Home Depot and XXXX XXXX XXXX to get my floors done. In XX/XX/XXXX I finally had them to come in and before they touched anything they told me that I have to pay an additional {$6200.00} to have the tiles removed. I told them that I did n't have that kind of money and they preceded to say if I did n't do it they would n't do the floors at all and would n't be responsible for anything that would happen if something was to go wrong. Out of desperation since the materials were already in my home I agreed to this extra {$6200.00} being added to my credit card to remove my tiles and complete the job. After the tiles were removed they said they needed to speak to me and requested an additional {$4000.00} to put the floors down I told them no this is ridiculous everytime you get ready to proceed with the next part of the job I 'm getting charged additional money and I 'm not giving you anymore money. They then left me with no floors for 3 months since I would n't agree to another new spur of the moment charge to my credit card. After I cursed, screamed and yelled at the store for all of those months I finally met a big boss who said that Home Depot would cover the charges. They also damaged my furniture but gave me money to get it repaired. They did n't do the job the right way and have n't fixed it yet and also due to the extra charge my credit card bill is constantly changing and I ca n't afford it I live alone and I ca n't pay this high monthly bill on my own. Please help me!
