Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have communicated with Nelnet regarding a loan for XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX which this loan was a student loan, but somehow it turned to a commercial student loan, as high {$10000.00}. Im unaware of signing for a commercial loan or applying for a commercial loan. I received a call from a Nelnet representative in XXXX XXXXXXXX regarding repayments. I informed the representative that payments were on hold per president, Joe Biden order. I was then told I had a commercial loan, after his statement, I told him I have a student loan. Nothing was presented to me after I disputed his statement, the representative laughed and stated, your loan is not on hold and you do have to pay. Late payments were submitted to the credit bureaus without presenting me any information. Im not going to pay for something and unsure of my liability for that commercial loan. The information Ive received appears to be fraudulent because the school that they have listed ( ie, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), I have never attended.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
We purchased a home and opened an Ikea Projekt card through Comenity Bank to help us finance our home projects. The terms of the card state that purchases over {$500.00} qualify for a 6-month 0 % APR, purchases over {$1000.00} qualify for 12 months at 0 %, and purchases over {$2500.00} qualify for 24 months at 0 % APR. Due to the logistics of our needs, we made 4 purchases, 2 over {$2500.00} that qualified for the 24 months and 2 over {$500.00} that qualified for the 6 months 0 % APR. We are now 2 months into our repayment, and our payments, including the amount over the minimum, are being applied to the largest balances first. We have been told we are not able to designate which balance our payments are applied to, even the excess of the minimum payment, unless we make a payment that pays one of the promotional balances in its entirety. Essentially, to avoid paying interest we have to make lump sum payments in the amounts of the two smaller 6 month amounts, which is a stark contrast to the advertised intention of dividing the cost of a project over a 6 month period. Rather than applying payments to the lowest or nearest term balance, in a way that is beneficial to the consumer, Comenity is insisting their system is only able to apply payments to the highest balances first, essentially guaranteeing that we will accrue interest and not benefit from the financing as advertised. I spent an hour on the phone today, escalated the call three times, finally got a complaint filed with XXXX by XXXX, but she clearly stated that I should not anticipate a follow up from Comenity, as that is not their policy. I would like my payments, especially those above the minimum payment, applied in an equitable manner that is to my benefit as a consumer.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I phoned Select Portfolio Servicing XXXX Inc. to request an updated escrow analysis to reflect the significant permanent decrease in the property tax for my home. The property taxes decreased by {$1800.00}. 

I followed their instructions to email my request and attached the official tax document showing the lower property tax amount. I did so on XX/XX/2023. 

Since that date, I have emailed my request again ( XX/XX/2023 ) and I have phoned them on five ( 5 ) occasions- XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and twice on XX/XX/2023. On each occasion, a different excuse was given and a different time frame as to when my request for an updated escrow analysis would be completed. 

The decreased property taxes should reduce my monthly mortgage rate. Given the current rate of inflation, any decrease in my monthly mortgage expenses would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in getting them to respond to my request.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter out disputing 2 accounts that were reporting inaccurate information. One account was still reporting activity each month even though the account was closed, and the balance was wrong on the account. The other account was missing information for XXXX XXXX XXXX and reporting late payments when it was a billing error back in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was never late pursuant to 15 USC 1666B Timing of Payments. They came back on XX/XX/XXXX, updated and verified with the problem unchanged.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a washer on XXXX XXXX XXXX. From the pos I was offered credit that required me to pay {$350.00} initially and 6 months of payments for {$100.00} each. When the 6 months was up, I called the lending company to see why I still had a balance and they said bc I hadn't responded to an email that I don't remember getting that I had only been renting the washer and needed to make 6 more months of payments or pay out more than {$300.00} immediately. That if I didn't, it would ruin my credit and they would take the washer back. At this point I've paid more than 150 % of the original price of the washer and the additional 6 months would make the payments almost 200 % of the purchase price.
