Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am deeply upset that Equifax continues to repeatedly violate my consumer rights. I am writing in response to XX/XX/2017 dispute results, for the second time same issue. BK # XXXX from was removed from my Equifax credit report and later reinserted without notifying me " XXXX XXXX ''. Said act is a violation of my consumer rights according to section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). Which applies to situations where the information was previously deleted/removed based, on a finding in a dispute that the information was inaccurate, incomplete or could not be verified. Based on this violation, I am requesting/demanding BK # XXXX be permanently deleted once again. If this matter is not deleted immediately, I will pursue legal action based on the facts my consumer rights are repeatedly violated by Equifax. Due to this inaccuracy being reported my family and I are being affected. I am on anxiety medications from the stress of repeated calls, writing letters, filing complaints to all 3 major credit bureaus getting ridiculous interest rates while applying for home and car loans. 

Equifax continues to report a fraudulent addresses of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Georgia XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Georgia XXXX. This address has " NO '' affiliation to me or any relative of mine, therefore any mail/utility bills of any kind using my name, SS # and DOB is fraudulent. I am demanding this address be updated and deleted permanently. I have previously attached bank statements, utility bill and photo ID.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have uncovered deceitful and unfair practice of how bank of america is assessing overdraft fees. As of XX/XX/2018 my actual bank balance ( posted transactions ) was + {$89.00} ( in the black ). However, there were 4 pending transactions totaling {$120.00}. After accounting for the pending transactions, my " available balance '' was negative {$31.00} As a result, and based on my " available balance '', which factored in the 4 pending transactions, I was hit with two {$35.00} overdraft fees on XX/XX/2018. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I could finally see all of the activity from XX/XX/XXXX ( this is not visible through online banking features until the next business day ). So I called to ask Bank of America how much money I needed to put into my account in order to ensure I did not incur any additional fees since the same 4 transactions that were pending on XX/XX/XXXX were still pending on XX/XX/XXXX and no new transactions had taken place. I was advised that one of the 4 transactions ( a {$29.00} annual auto renew subscription from XXXX ) would result in a {$35.00} overdraft fee. 

It is unfair, deceitful, and possibly illegal for Bank of America to factor in all pending transactions when determining the " available balance '' that is used as the basis for determining which posted transactions trigger an overdraft fee. It is fraudulent to then charge a customer an overdraft fee on the pending transactions when they finally do post since they were already factored into the historical balance used to determine overdraft fees. If pending transactions were excluded from the overdraft assessment, then I would not have incurred any overdraft fees on XX/XX/XXXX, but they were. Bank of America can then not treat them as newly incurred overdraft incurring transactions when they do post. 

I remember the days when banks would manipulate the order in which same day transactions posted to an account in order to maximize the overdraft fees they could charge ( regardless of the timing of when those transactions actually occurred during that day at the retail terminals ). This practice is now illegal. 

I have uncovered a new way in which Bank of America is manipulating the way in which they double count pending transactions against a customer to incur overdraft fees. They are manipulating pending transactions ( both while pending and again on the very same transactions when they post ) in calculating the balance used to assess overdraft fees. 

This is fraud, deceit, unfair and possibly illegal.

Company: BOVA Financial Group LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this complaint to report Bova Financial Company  that does business out of California. In XX/XX/XXXX I called to get a modification loan. I talked to XXXX XXXX ( the owner ) and had told her that we would probably not qualify due to our income, but she reassured me that she could help. The amount they wanted was {$5000.00} to work on the loan. I was very hesitant to pay upfront, but she said it was a win/win situation. I would get the money back in full if we did not like the offer. All we wanted was a lower interest rate and a lower payment. Trusting them, we sent in the money. I was working with XXXX XXXX   to whom only worked with me for a month. I had sent all important documents via email and did not hear from them for quite a while. Then i got a guy named XXXX XXXX  working on it for a very short time. I told XXXX  this was taking too long for a loan. Then another lady, XXXX XXXX, worked with me for about six months. Throughout all these agents I sepecifically said I did not want the amount of years to change on this loan and that i wanted the original loan, a lower mortgage payment, and a lower interest rate. All this time XXXX XXXX XXXX was calling me daily and XXXX  told me NOT to talk to them and that Bova was taking care of it. In all this wasted, stressful time XXXX   offered me a 4 month trial period of which XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX   told me that this was my original loan that I owed 15 more years on and that it was 2 %. We agreed to the trial period thinking it was 2 %. When the trial was over, unbeknown to us, XX/XX/XXXX, the loan mod was a 40 year loan without a change on the mortgage interest. After all of this, I had continually asked for my money back. Then XXXX  assigned XXXX to do a refinance. She did not last long. XXXX  then refered me to a refinance company, XXXX. I could have already refinanced 2 years ago. It has been a nightmare to say the least, XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXXand still not good offers. We are angry and we trusted the wrong company.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My loans got sold to Navient from XXXX XXXX a few years ago. Dealing with Navient is very unpleasant. I have been trying to lower my monthly payment plan with Navient Solutions for well over 2 years now and as of today I am delinquent because Navient refuses to help. 
I have gotten wrong information from various representatives from this company. They provide wrong information so you are stuck paying the monthly rate they want you to pay. I never get anything emailed to my for confirmation even after they say it has been emailed. I get told paperwork needs to be done online and then I get told that no, paperwork needs to be mailed. This has been happening for a whole year. 

They put representatives on the line and threaten to sue those with language barriers if they dont collect the full amount the day they call. XXXX ( Employee ID : XXXX ) is the one making the threats against my mother. 

I immediately called that day to speak to a supervisor ( XXXX ) central standard time and I was told he was on a dinner break and will return my call. As of today, said supervisor is yet to call me. 

All I want is to lower my monthly payment so I can make this debt go away. I want them to investigate thoroughly how my account has been handled since XXXX XXXX sold it. 

The wrong information that was provided by various representatives from Navient Solutions has caused my interest rate to triple and my principal balance to double.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am enrolled in Public Service Loan Forgiveness and as a result have FedLoan Servicing as my servicer. I have continual problems with them as my servicer. I recently got married and changed jobs per my contract I submitted new information for my Income Driven Repayment. When I did so I got a message saying this had been approved on XX/XX/2018. Then on XX/XX/2018 I received a message saying my IDR request was denied because it was too early for my annual re-certification. At the time I was traveling so on the morning for XX/XX/2018 I called as was told that the rejection message was automatic and did not apply to me since I had a change in status. The representative reported to me that my new IDR repayment would begin on XX/XX/2018 ( this is what I expected ). I logged into my account that night to see that a forbearance period had been applied to my account for XXXX. I never requested this. I was fully expecting to make my payment for XXXX. I called the evening on XX/XX/2018 and spoke to someone who reported that yes, this had been applied and that I would need to speak to a counselor to have this resolved. I was transferred and then was on hold until they closed at 9pm. I called back today XX/XX/XXXX and a counselor removed the forbearance but let me know that it would take XXXX business days. I asked about my XX/XX/XXXX payment and they reported that I should log back in on the XXXX and if it didn't go through to call again. I was on hold for 20 minutes before being able to speak with someone this evening. 

The poor service I receive from the U.S. Department of Education is not acceptable. My interest accrues daily. Each day I wait for them to resolve an issue costs me {$30.00} in interest. It is so concerning to me that a forbearance was applied to my account without my knowledge- especially given how quickly interest capitalized on my account. Missing one monthly payment that I was fully prepared to make will cost my thousands over my repayment period. It is also unacceptable to have to continually call back- and very difficult to do so since I work two jobs in order to repay these very loans.
