Complaint narrative:
Both of my checking accounts with suntrust bank are in the negative at bo fault of mine as I 've been transferring funds from my checking account to ensure this type of thing did n't therefore it is the fault of the back for this occurring. Not only that I had overdraft protection setup to ensure this would never happen. Therefore I believe the bank has placed my accounts in this situation and I will not stand for this. Besides which I was never advised of any over draft fees on my savings accounts nor have I been explained as to what these charges are for.

Complaint narrative:
Please restore standard consumer bankruptcy protection to student loans and make America great again! 

Capitalized interests on student loans is unjust and fraudulent. Congress has allowed corruption to prey on student loans that was formed to help students. Instead it has crippled the economy and forced XXXX former students to lead a lifetime of debt with XXXX in student loan debt. Interest collecting interests. How can it be that my total original loan amount is {$150000.00}. And I paid {$120000.00}. And 10 years later still have a balance of {$180000.00}??

Complaint narrative:
Suntrust Mortgage Took out XXXX payments from my escrow account for my property taxes but my XXXX Property Office only received XXXX Payments. I opened the case with Suntrust to research the issue on XXXX XXXX 2017 and as of today the XXXX payment is still missing out of my Escrow. In the meantime i was contacted via mail that my escrow account is short and the shortage must be paid. I was told that i need to pay extra {$350.00} a month for next 12 months to make up the shortage. 
Therefore not only my escrow account is short of XXXX payment which didnt make it to my Tax collector but I also am forced to pay extra which seems like alot of money to come up on top of the existing mortgage.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am on a student loan deferral from the XXXX granted by my XXXX contract. I have submitted the annual forbearance form every year since eligibility began in XX/XX/2013. My paperwork was late in XXXX - XXXX due to administrative failures at my unit of assignment during XXXX I confirmed with the servicer, FedLoan Servicing, that my deferral was backdated and my account credited, however, my XXXX trade lines had already been reported by the time the error was corrected since I was already 90 days past due. I have filed XXXX disputes since I originally discovered the issue, with the most recent dispute results arriving this morning. Today I spoke with Employee ID XXXX at FedLoan Servicing -- she was very helpful. FedLoan Servicing is refusing to fix the XXXX past due report, although they have backdated the deferral and any monetary penalties. The last time I spoke with a representative at FedLoan Servicing, I was told that I do not have to worry about my unit processing my paperwork after the deadline because the deferral would be backdated appropriately. This is not what happened, and as I am applying for mortgages to purchase my XXXX house, I have XXXX trade lines with XXXX past due records as XXXX of XXXX negative trade lines -- the other is a tax lien from the City of XXXX, NY for parking tickets I 'd failed to pay several years ago. FedLoan Servicing 's inability to enact sensible procedures is unjustly affecting my ability to lend at a rate commensurate with my riskiness as a consumer. 

The XXXX negative trade lines also affect my ability to acquire credit where automated credit decision engines are used to summarily decline applicants with a certain number of XXXX delinquencies -- a common practice in consumer lending, as these individuals tend to be exceedingly risky in today 's credit climate.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX student loans in XX/XX/XXXX were taken out that had 6 month terms that were ironically XXXX loans totaling the exact same amounts as defaulted amounts on letters I received claiming I was in default for these amounts. The total amount = {$23000.00}. I never took out these loans because I was already 2 years graduated out of XXXX XXXX with my XXXX. Then after my student loan closed in XX/XX/XXXX, I find a new loan attached to my credit report for {$22000.00} with XXXX, is this the loans from XX/XX/XXXX, no doubt I believe so. How come TGSL ca n't provide me of details around my loan? I have a link of all my documentation around the deceptive activities going on with my student loan over the course of the last 30 years, of which I will sue XXXX for garnishing my wages over {$17000.00} for already for a loan that is n't even mine that they took out in my name. They should have guidelines to follow and be held accountable for deceptive trade. My loans never went into default they refinanced mine and then opened XXXX loans in my name to default me instead, and they need to stop doing this to people.

Complaint narrative:
Inaccurate reporting for several accounts w/ Fedloan servicing. I called around XXXX of 2014 to reinstate my account and was told that I could have a forbearance put on my account which would be retro-acted to the beginning of delinquency. I specifically asked if this would also change the reporting of those months. I was advised that it would show as a forbearance on my credit for those months. I request that all of my accounts be updated to reflect XXXX 2014-XX/XX/XXXX 2014 to reflect as under a forbearance plan or current. XXXX of the accounts already reflect current for XXXX 2014 only. Additionally, I request that they remove the " customer disputes '' language/notation from ALL of my fed loan servicing accounts once reporting is fixed. To ensure proper research I direct you to the first conversation in XXXX and listen to the recorded conversation that stated my credit would show forbearance and no delinquency. I have reached out twice now with NO RESPONSE to get these matters fixed.

Suntrust Bank has consistently denied access to our available and deposited funds in our account under the guise of account security.

We have called and asked that this be stopped as we will continue to make these purchases to fill our orders but they REFUSE to make any accommodation. This is outright denial of use of the funds in our account.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My current servicer, faye servicing, has not provided me with my annual escrow statement. I am in an active chapter XXXX bankruptcy. My lender has an authorization on file from my attorney to speak to me about all aspects of My loan. Despite being in an active chapter XXXX, I get a call from a representative requesting me to make a payment on the loan every month. I do make my payment every month, however, as there is currently no penalty, I make it towards the end of the month. When the person called me this month called for payment, they mentioned that the amount was {$2600.00}. My PITI is {$2000.00} so I was very surprised to hear this. The associate mentioned that there was an escrow analysis done in XXXX and I had a shortage. This does not make sense to me as my taxes have decreased every year since Hurricane XXXX, as my home had been damaged by the storm. My flood insurance increased by {$300.00} annually. This does not warrant a {$6000.00} annual increase. I am demanding an out of cycle escrow analysis and also to be sent a copy of this. I am requesting any reserve requirement to be removed. While I understand that RESPA allows lenders to collect a reserve of 16.667 % in NY, I also know that if I request it to be removed, it must be. If there is a shortage, I am requesting that shortage to be spread over 60 months interest free, also allowed by RESPA. I am also requesting a payment history from when Faye acquired my loan until today, as I need to verify how they have been applying my payments. On top of this, I had completed a HAMP modification in XXXX 2011. As part of this I am supposed to receive an annual incentive applied to my prinicipal I the anniversary of my modification for the first 5 years of the modification.. Last year I had to ask for them to do this, otherwise I believe they would have kept the money for themselves. 
Please note that in no way am I experiencing a hard ship or requesting any financial assistance and do not want my payment dispute to be confused in any way. I simply need to ensure that this lender adheres to all requirements of a lender and provide me with the documentation that they are supposed to. I also do not want a XXXX Line generic response, as they provided in response to my last complaint. Or a rude response as my so called account manager XXXX ( sp? ) has provided. I look forward to hearing back. I can be reached at XXXX.
