Complaint narrative:
I am a retired XXXX. I taught for 20 years at a XXXX XXXX XXXX on the rural island of XXXX. Several years ago I did all of the paper work to have my loan forgiven because of my work on XXXX. XXXX XXXX/Navient denied my request because they said I had consolidated my loan several years before which made me ineligible for the Forgiveness Program. This seems rather specious to me. I went back to get my XXXX after 17 years XXXX  at XXXX XXXX XXXX and I continued XXXX on XXXX for 3 years after receiving my degree. I think Navient violated the intention of the Federal XXXX Forgivess program. Thank you for considering my situation.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was under an Ally Auto, Loan Agreed Payment Arrangements Ref # XXXX. My payment, and payment date was altered from the original contract. I have NOT been late on my payments, and furthermore met all the agreement terms as instructed by Ally in their correspondence. I faithfully paid my auto loan monthly. Checking my bank records, they take over a week to process my mailed in check thus making it appear I am late. 
I have tried paying Ally Auto, electronically, by check in the mail, and before the due date the 30th of each month. Reviewing my bank records, it is clear Ally Received my payments on time. 

I have had nothing but trouble with Ally Auto, from the very beginning of the loan. Reviewing on line complaint organizations, Ally Auto, is number one in customer complaints, and notorious in charging various miscellaneous late fees and extra charges. 

I have written, called and even wrote their customer complaint depart, with no results, just more billings of extra late fees, and charges. This is consumer abuse in its ugliest form. 

Please, someone help me with the beast Ally Auto. I have paid them faithfully every month, but due to their accounts payable system, the checks I send in advance take over a week to clear my account. I do not have any other problem with my routine monthly bills for other accounts, just Ally Auto. 

Here is my payment record for the last eight months which is taken from my bank records : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment Please note, that they always take over a week to process my check, thus applying a late fee, upon the delayed deposit for payment in my bank. I send the check well in advance of the due date, allowing time for the mail to deliver the check to them. 

Now Ally Auto is claiming that I missed the last two payments in XXXX and XXXX or this year. They are demanding {$1800.00}, in past due payments, late fees and charges. Please help.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is specifically with Experian. First of all it is impossible to talk to a human being, I tried several times and even tried a hack on the Internet ( pushing XXXX instead of XXXX ) and none of them work. I tried to temporarily lift a freeze on my bureau so I could apply for a loan. I tried online and it refuses to accept my User Name and Password ( I know it is correct because I wrote it down and place in my safe when I put the freeze on ). When I ask to have my user name emailed to me it accepts but I never receive the email ( requested XXXX times over the past 12 hours ). I call the " Customer Service '' number and I get a machine. The machine permanently removed the freeze instead of temporarily suspending it. I tried to fix and since it is impossible to talk to a person I was unable to do so. This company needs to be put on your hit list to fine billions of dollars like you do the banks! At least banks have a customer service department that tries to actually help their customers. Credit Bureau 's seem to think they are immune to any sort of responsibility to their customers! This has got to stop!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the mortgage company ( Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC ) regarding my bill because of a late fee  charge and Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC told me that I did not pay the full amount. Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC received {$1700.00} in XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX mortgage payment. I asked Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC if they can apply the amount that I paid to them to my Principal and Interest but they declined, stating that I did not make the full payment. Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC informed me that there was a {$610.00} shortage in my escrow. We could not complete the phone conversation because the phone got disconnected. I called back the next day and told XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I would send a check for the escrow shortage and the escrow shortage was received on XX/XX/XXXX. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to verify why my XXXX was still not applied. Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC informed me that they did not get the  complete payment of {$1700.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a check of {$500.00} to the escrow account so that it would reduce my monthly payment. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to verify that Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC received {$500.00}. Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC indicated they received the check but it is still pending. I explained to Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC that I would like my monthly payment to be reduced since I sent an additional {$500.00} to the escrow, but Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC said that it is not possible to apply that to reduce my monthly payment, because according to Federal Law, I am unable to add any more money to my escrow account. I asked Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC to take the balance from the {$500.00} to complete XXXX payment, which is {$250.00}, and refund {$250.00} back to me. They indicated that in order to do that, I have to submit my bank statement to show proof that the money was cleared from my bank. On XX/XX/XXXX I emailed both my bank statement showing the {$500.00} and a copy of the check for {$500.00} that was paid to Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC. I received an automated email response with a ticket number stating that my request has been forwarded to the appropriate department and to use that ticket number for further communication regarding my request. I have called Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC twice today, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. First at XXXX then at XXXX, and I received an automated message of their unavailability. However, Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC 's normal business hours on a weekday is  XXXX. It appears that Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC is  avoiding my calls. The reason I am contacting you is that I have been trying to fix my mortgage account but I am getting the run around and it is getting very frustrating.
