Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I graduated with an XXXX in XXXX. I learned about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program around XXXX and spent time researching about the program. I continued to research online over the past 10 years, as there were many forms and changing web pages to read through. I began working with low income families in a XXXX XXXX   in XXXX. As a single mom, I was counting on the PSLF as part of my career of service and retirement plan. On XX/XX/XXXX, my employer submitted an Employment Certification Form at my request and by the end of the month I received a letter from XXXX detailing that I had no eligible loan types for the loan forgiveness program. Unfortunately, through all the research and loan repayment plan applications I had completed over the years, I did not get the correct information to qualify for PSLF. Apparently, my loan types, FFEL, were phased out around XXXX and replaced by XXXX   XXXX. The only option I had was to consolidate my loans into XXXX XXXX. Now my ten years of service starts over and I don't even know if the loan forgiveness program will still exist in XXXX. Both my loan servicer and PSLF Program were not looking out for me. Maybe I could have gotten the correct information about qualifying for loan forgiveness if I would have known what specific question to ask, as I am a resourceful person ( I find information about community resources for a living ). I feel tricked by fine print.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I receive calls before XXXX and after XXXX, and I also receive calls all day everyday, including weekends at late hours. As astra leaves voice mails that are completely blank or only have of the voice mail will be there and it is the same exact message every single time ( automated. ) I received calls even after beginning to make payments with them. A week after I made a payment they called when I was actually off work and the gentleman I spoke with had no idea I had made a payment when I asked, why are you calling again? I just paid you guys about 5 days ago. After he checked he asked if I could make another payment and I told him that I just made a payment, I couldnt make another, I had not even received my next check. He then told me that if I didnt set up a payment plan right then for {$100.00} a month ( which I could not afford ) that I would continue to receive the phone calls. Im still receiving these calls and Im still confused as to whether or not this debt is even valid. I never received notification that I could dispute the debt, and it is getting really frustrating to be constantly hounded. I want to dispute this debt and I want them to please stop hounding me and send proof to me if the validity of this debt. Ive kept in touch with them at least monthly and even just today tried to call them and have said listen I will even settle with you guys for a lesser amount because I dont feel like if this debt is valid, that that could possibly be the correct amount, just because I want the hounding to stop.

Complaint narrative:
I reported my card lost or stolen and had a replacement ordered in early XXXX and was told to allow 2 weeks for the replacement to arrive. When no card arrived, I called to follow-up only to be told that they had forgotten to order it. I spoke to supervisor XXXX with employee id XXXX and was advised that he was special expediting a replacement and we would have it in hand in 1 to 2 days. 
After allowing for 1 day for them to process, and the 2 days for it to get to me, I then followed up to be told I should receive it by Monday ( 3  days later than promised. ) I again asked to speak with a supervisor and was then hung up on. I called back and asked to speak to a supervisor again and finally was given XXXX, id XXXX. Eventually she provided a tracking number and stated it was shipped XXXX priority overnight and we should have it in a few days. When asked to speak to her supervisor she refused. 
Upon checking the tracking number it showed it was ready for pickup by XXXX and that it had been scheduled that day. It had not even been picked up. 
Company provided pay card because that is how they pay now and XXXX kept me from my money for 3 weeks and has still not delivered my card.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I was an Equifax customer due to a breach from a retail website. They paid for a year of free coverage with Equifax. Then I paid for additional protection and entered Drivers license and passport and then Equifax had a breach and when I called they said they would give me a free year of service with XXXX. 
I could not authenticate my identity after two tries so the service never worked to where I could see my credit report or anything. 
I just got an email today saying I was signed up and to check online. Again I tried to authenticate and failed and called the XXXX no. that popped up on the screen. 
They said that since I did not authenticate by XXXX. I was cancelled for the free year of service. Why did they send me an email as a XXXX MEMBER? SEE EMAIL ATTACHED. Equifax should be made to honor commitments. I was never sent an email saying I had a deadline to authenticate. 
They are the biggest bunch of dishonest people I have ever worked with. They never told me about Equifax 's breach ( found out in the news ) And I was a paying customer. Nor did they offer a free service after the breach. I spent hours of the phone with them to get them to agree to do it and now they are taking it back. Government should shut them down.
