Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I talked to a representative over the phone from Sallie Mae. I mentioned that I was unable to pay the current amount per month that was being asked of me. My payments do not start until XXXX of XXXX. The amount per month that Sallie Mae was requesting was close to {$1300.00} a month. When asked about a lower payment option as I am unable to afford that loan payment, I was told that there were no lower options. I could do for 3 months a repayment plan where 2 out of my 4 loans are interest-only payments, but that would still total more than {$1000.00} a month in payments. I was advised to make the payments or deal with the consequences of not paying and talking to a loan officer. When I asked to clarify they advised me that they did not have any other repayment loan options such as a salary based repayment, or repayment for those who are unable to make the current monthly payment.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted regarding this debt in XXXX of XXXX, the debt collector spoke with my wife, however I was present. We were informed they received this account in XXXX of XXXX and that it had not been reported on my credit report as of yet. We explained this was incurred due to XXXX our new phone company not paying off our account as we were told they would. It was still suggested we pay on the debt in the meantime to avoid it affecting my credit. We were told since we were making arrangements early on it would keep this off of my credit report. We scheduled the first payment for the end of XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as it was stated something would be needed in the month of XXXX to secure the agreement. The first XXXX payment was for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$75.00} and has been paid every two weeks for {$75.00} by automatic withdrawal. So XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX all for {$75.00}. Now imagine my surprise when I pulled my credit report on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and not only seen this account on my report when I was told it would n't be, but also it is reporting late when I have made all scheduled payments as agreed! My wife called in my presence on or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and received very rude service. She spoke with two people who both stated that payments had been received and on time, but since they are collecting for XXXX and the XXXX account is not in good standing since it was sent to collections this is why the account has a negative standing. They stated they are reporting the payments, but have no idea how the credit bureau puts out info. My wife said the CB can only report what you tell them, but they insisted it was not their issue to correct and we should call the credit bureau. Of course I understand I am not in good standing with XXXX, but convergent should be reporting the on time payments to convergent that are being made. It is clear to anyone a collection account is a negative thing, but you dont get to report on time payments as late to punish a consumer. Included are bank statements for the dates listed above. Please note the payments listed under XXXX, which also has their phone number listed. Also I have attached email statement notices from Convergent. I can not go all the way back to XXXX as their links expire in 90 days. Also a copy of this item on my report.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The reason for my complaint against Bank of America is because I have a corporate card with my business XXXX XXXX XXXX Tax ID XXXX. This card was used fraudulently for multiple purchases. I reported the fraud as soon as i was made aware and spoke to a representative i believe it was sometime in XXXX. I explained to the representative the the phone number on file XXXX was no longer a valid number for me so i did not receive any type of communication in reference to the usage to this account. I also requested for the phone number XXXX to be updated as this is the most current number for me. I was given a case id XXXX for the fraud case. They told me i am not responsible for any unauthorized charges and that i do not need to make any payments on the account. I was never contacted by an investigator and on multiple occasions called in to check up on the case. They advised that they have everything that they need to finalize the claim. On XXXX XXXX Bank of america wrote the attached letter and i did not receive until XXXX XXXX after they went in to two of my Bank of america checking accounts and withdrew approximately 27K. They say the inconsistent details was provided but i have not spoken to anyone in reference to this case since I filed the claim back in XXXX. Bank of america is acting unfair and biased as to when it comes to this claim, and have caused great financial stress and harm by removing XXXX out of the checking accounts. I have already requested an appointment with a lawyer in reference to this cause these charges are not valid and were not done by me or anyone that i know.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Chase Business Card Services contacted me in early XXXX saying they needed to verify my company 's legal status. According to them, I could do this by submitting either my social security number, my companies ' FEIN, or resale number. I believe there was a XX/XX/XXXX deadline to provide this information, or else my account would be closed. 

I called Chase in late XXXX / early XXXX and spoke to a customer relations person. I gave that person my company FEIN, and was told that ( for some reason unknown to me ) they were not able to verify the information I gave them. The person then asked me to fax them documentation that included my company FEIN, such as a tax return or a business license, which included my company resale number. I did so on XX/XX/XXXX by faxing them my company business license, which included my company resale number AND my company FEIN. I have proof of sending this fax. 

So, I submitted the information they requested WITHIN their time deadline. 

I received a letter from Chase dated XX/XX/XXXXsaying thank you for submitting the documents they requested, but that the information was not complete and my account will remain closed ( it should not have closed in the first place ). 

I want my account re-opened. NOt only does my company need access to credit, there is now information in my companies credit profile that states credit has been taken away by Chase, which ofcourse is detrimental to my company. I have been current in all my credit accounts, personal and business, including the account in question.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Back onXX/XX/XXXX after a escrow analysis that would have raised my mortgage payment, my husband who is sole borrower requested if lender Mr. Cooper formally Nationstar would get rid of cushion in order to keep payment same. They agreed and refunded us approx {$1400.00} dollars in which we returned half back in escrow account. After paying XXXX payment I got XXXX statement which said their was {$1600.00} in escrow. Since I knew I would be paying XXXX payment on the XXXX we called and they told us they pay town on the XXXX of quarter due. So onXX/XX/XXXXI planned to call and make up difference in escrow to cover a tax payment Due XXXX I was shocked to find out they had made payment without telling me on XX/XX/XXXX and I have no statement as of today stated that payment. My current statement which was issued on XX/XX/XXXXindicated nothing of this transaction. My escrow account became {$730.00} negative so I made an over the phone payment to escrow today to bring us to positive balance. I will be able to provide documents when I get access to scanner. 

My husband went back thru old statements and discovered they had down this in past paid 2 weeks early and there were months they paid on XXXX ( town gives grace period till the XXXX ) which is what we were told via customer service when we lost cushion so I could keep track and know when I had to have the escrow covered for property taxes. 

In summary all my closing papers indicate is that they must escrow and pay taxes. This is very frustrating because I need three months worth of escrow payments to make these quarterly tax payments and I was not given chance when they paid XXXX quarter early. How early are they allowed and they did this with no indication on statement I do not call them every month for additional dismemberment info, I was going by latest statement which was not even correct. My husband requested taxes be taken out so that is pending. I just want to know if they had the right to do this. I also believe that the constant increases were partially due to them paying taxes early before I had the chance to give them my payment by the first. The past tax increase would have only been a XXXX $ increase that is why we asked for cushion to be removed. We FHA streamlined 4 years ago to bring payment down that is why the cushion was removed, we have never been late since start.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Date : XXXX/XXXX/2017 Attempted to obtain Equifax Free Credit Report online due to inaccurate information. Equifax has consumer fill out online form but nowhere on form does it specify reason for obtaining " free credit report '' ( e.g. inaccurate information ). When you get ready to get online report the website states " free credit report not available online '' ; then in other areas Equifax tells consumer the free report is available online. 
This is a tremendous disservice to the consumer who is trying to get the free credit report either annually or for those with a reason ( inaccurate information, unemployment, etc. ). In my opinion it serves as a way to dissuade the consumer from getting their report. 
After all the problems EQUIFAX has had that has done damage to the consumer you would think they would go above & beyond to serve the consumer. They should be put out of business if they ca n't do what they are supposed to do as this is negatively affecting the consumer.
