Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After making a sizable payment ( {$12000.00}. ) in XX/XX/XXXX, my next statement noted that the next payment was n't due until XX/XX/XXXX. Even so, I have continued to make payments. I am trying to find out why the payment due date for moved so far in advance, what my balance was after the XX/XX/XXXX payment, and if they were still adding interest even if the payment was n't due for another 4 years. I would also like to know why I was n't given any choices or explanation for the changes after the XX/XX/XXXX payment.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I recently entered into a repayment plan with Navient. I was never informed by them that the payment was well below the required monthly interest assessed on my outstanding debt. This was very surprising to me, as I have been paying over {$200.00} per month on approximately {$25000.00} for over 20 years. Consequently, the repayment plan was adding to my overall principal because the unpaid monthly interest was being capitalized and thus, I was being charged interest on that unpaid interest. When I requested an amortization schedule, which I believe every borrower has a right to obtain, I was informed that the only documents available to me were linked on my account. None of those documents were a detailed accounting of how my payments have been distributed between principal and interest over the life of my loan repayment. They were merely summaries of my account which did not satisfy my request nor did it put my mind at ease that my loan repayment was, indeed, being administrated properly. Unknown to me, was the fact that Navient compounds interest daily. At an 8.25 % interest rate, I will never get this loan paid off. The company never ever provided information to me in order to gain some relief over this never-ending debt. If the government wants to bring down the debt, do n't penalize those of us that have paid our payments on time. Bring down the interest rates and do n't allow the loan providers to compound interest on a daily basis. That aside, I want an amortization schedule to review the accuracy of my payment distribution. Where can I legally obtain one? If the servicing entity can not provide it, who can? I think it should be unlawful to deny a borrower such information on money that he/ she has been repaying.

Complaint narrative:
I used a convenience check I received in the mail in XX/XX/XXXX to transfer a balance to a Bank of America credit card I already had open. My credit line is $ XXXX and the check was for {$2700.00}. The Bank of America fraud dept called me on XX/XX/XXXX to verify I had signed and sent the check, which I had, and they said it would clear. The same day they denied payment on the check and put a letter in the mail to me, which I did not receive until XX/XX/XXXX, stating the check was rejected because the " signature did not match ''. I ALWAYS sign my signature the same way using my first initial, my full middle name, then my full last name and though I have never written a check to this account before I was not informed on the phone about the signature being an issue - they assured me " everything was fine ''. Subsequently after the checked bounced the other credit company charged me {$25.00} returned check fee. I suspect this also put a ding in my credit with them. I called Bank of America and requested they refund me the {$25.00} but they denied any wrong doing, despite there being a written record of them speaking to me and approving the check. They said I could resubmit the check within 10 days and they would honor it but would not compensate me for their negligence in the spirit of " protecting me against fraud ''. This horrible customer service cost me {$25.00} and a day missed at work due to a XXXX and they do n't seem mind the trouble it caused me at all.

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied for a HELOC modification with Bank of America. I use to work in loan modification, so I know / knew to only submit the request if I fit the guidelines. I was told that my income was XXXX per month. I have asked several times where and what numbers did they use to get that figure because my employment income is {$32000.00} a year ( XXXX per month ). My HELOC payment went from {$180.00} per month to {$440.00}. I want to pay this loan, but ca n't afford that much of a increase. During the process I was subjected to numerous request for the same docs over and over, to find that the REP gave me the wrong fax number. It was mentioned to me that some of the docs I sent was placed by the scan team in the wrong place. This could be the reason for the inflated income. Perhaps they used things for income that just is n't true. I have one job, the income should be easy to calculate. I have detailed dates and times and request I received from them with confirmation of docs being sent.

I have both private and federal loans with Navient. I went to the University XXXX in XXXX, CT. The last time I was in contact with Navient, they asked if I agreed to an autodialer contacting me if/when necessary. I said yes.

The have also called me on the weekends ( both Saturday and Sunday ) after XXXX. Just because I agreed to letting them call me does not mean they should be able to abuse the system like this. I also do not make enough income to be able to pay the amount they were asking. They were very difficult to work with on this and said that the Rate Reduction Program is a " step '' program where every time I renew it the $ $ amount increases.

However, the Bank of America Underwriting Department issued several written correspondence to me, the borrower, stating MHA HAMP was denied on appeal after the Bank of America Appeals Department granted MHA HAMP. Bank of America and their representatives have made knowingly false statements by representing to me material facts related to my home loan mortgage account during the modification and loss mitigation processes and are guilty of the following in violation of RESPA enforced by Regulation X, MHA HAMP Guidelines, California Civil Code 2920 through 2944.10, California Code of Civil Procedure 2015.5, and their duty owed to me as a disstressed borrower who was proactive at a time when it was clear I would not be able to continue to pay the then monthly installment amount per the XXXX Deed of Trust : Poor and Deceptive Practices ; Modification Fraud ; Mortgage Fraud ; Foreclosure Fraud ; Intentional Infliction of Emotional Disstress, and ; Negligent Emotional Disstress. 
Also, as a matter of law, regulations, and guidelines I am still considered pending in the modification and loss mitigation processes and no negative credit reporting is to occur. Specifically, the bank, the servicer, and their representatives are not to assess late fees or report a late or missed payment while workout assistance is pending and are to make any required fee adjustments and credit reporting corrections upon completion of the modification and loss mitigation processes. This has not been the case in this instance and not because Bank of America believe that I am currently pending in the modification and loss mitigation processes.

Complaint narrative:
Navient took over servicing my student loans and did not notify me at all in reference to my account being transferred to their office. As a result I was hit with late payments in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. The reason why there is a break in the payments having been late is because I had enrolled in college which automatically placed my outstanding loans in deferment. When I finally realized that Navient had taken possession of my student loans I called and placed them in deferment/forbearance and have been in good standing since and Navient refuses to remove this negative reporting that only occurred due to their failure to notify me of them now servicing my loan.
