Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to pay off my mortgage in full. My account on Huntington Bank 's web portal indicated I owed approximately {$130000.00} ; however, Huntington Bank sent me a " payoff letter '' for over {$140000.00}. I paid off an excess amount of entire amount of {$130000.00}, {$130000.00} via check in early XXXX and {$1300.00} via wire on XX/XX/24. Huntington returned the wire for not being the full amount of the " payoff ''. Despite numerous phone calls and hours speaking with various Huntington persons, they have no explanation but claims there is a " second mortgage '' on my home. Huntington says they " surmise '' that the $ XXXX amount came from another bank ( that they acquired ) but they have no documents to explain it. I have paid my mortgage in full per my account and want them to release the lien asap, before another claimed payment is due on XX/XX/24. It have been discussing with Huntington for over 30 days and to date, they have not provided any explanation and are in essence holding me hostage for over {$6000.00}. They have just returned the {$1300.00} wire I sent stating it's not a " full payoff ''. I will now forced to pay more in fees and for home insurance that I don't want. I have already been paying exorbitant fees for " escrow '' and other charges that don't seem legitimate either. I have already overpaid them and they still are not satisfied.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
Over the last several years, I have been working with the WI AG 's office and the Project for Predatory Lending regarding incorrect info and practices regarding the loans that the school took out in my name via copy & pasting my signature, high pressure tactics where inaccurate info and misrepresentations were used, pushing me into more expensive plans to pay back the fraudulent debts, and denying me relief I was entitled to, amongst other things. All of this info can be found in my approved Borrower 's Defense to Repayment application, that was approved, resulting in my Federal loans being discharged. My private fraudulent loans should have been discharged in the multi-state Attorney General settlement against Navient, but they weren't. Navient has given me a multitude of reasons, but the fact of the matter is that they have known for years that the info school listed on my loans is incorrect, and are now using it as an excuse to not discharge these fraudulent loans, coincidentally continuing with the shady practices that got them sued in the first place. Because of their refusal to correct things on their end, I also can not apply for and am not included in any other legal proceedings or discharge programs that have been created, due to their fraud. The bottom line is : Navient/Sallie Mae was found to be defrauding students alongside XXXX XXXX XXXX The loans they have listed in my name should have been discharged years ago. They have received roughly {$60000.00} from me, in an attempt to preserve my credit while fighting these fraudulent loans, and yet, the fraud continues.
