Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: RFNA, LP
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Again I making another compaint against Republic Finanace regarding there reporting to the XXXX major credit bureaus. On XX/XX/2017 I was notified that My Republic Finance account was 30 days late for the month of XXXX. A payment was made via telephone on XX/XX/2017 which took approxiamtely three days to withdraw from my account. At that time my account would have only been XXXX days past due. My account payment is due on the XXXX day of the month which means that on XX/XX/2017 I would be considered XXXX days past due. I made a payment in XX/XX/2017 that took approximately that posted on XX/XX/2017 to bring my account current and if I was delinquent at the time it would have reflected on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/2017 as XXXX days past due but I was reported as being current. In previous conversations I was informed by the main office that they report account status at the end of the month, whch clearly states they are disregarding federal reporting rules and regulations when it comes to reporting account information to the FCRA 's. As of XX/XX/2017 my account is XXXX days past due and if I submit a payment before XX/XX/2017 then my account would remain still be in a current status.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have recently submitted a compliant about Specialized Loan Servicing purchasing insurance on my behalf ( illegal in New Jersey ) when they already had copies of my insurance dec pages ( both flood and hazard ). SLS responded to CFPB with a letter stating that the insurance they had purchased was cancelled and I would not be charged. I have just received a letter from SLS ( dated XXXX/XXXX/16 ) giving me notification that my escrow account was being charged for insurance that they already reported to CFPB that was cancelled. They had no right to purchase insurance on my behalf in the first place as they already had proof of insurance on file. So which is it? Is SLS charging my escrow account for insurance or did they cancel? I was told by the CFPB rep to file another complaint as the last compliant ( case # XXXX ) was supposedly resolved and obviously is not since SLS is still trying to charge my escrow account for the insurance.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On my line of credit account I owed {$160000.00} and It was refinanced with the same bank ( PNC BANK ) and same bank according to a payoff statement they paid off {$160000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Based on this old line of credit account should have been closed with XXXX balance instead, I see that PNC Bank still shows {$610.00} outstanding under my account and when I called they said I still owe them interest in the amount of {$240.00}, which I paid right away on XX/XX/XXXX and the balance {$360.00} according to PNC is the charge for closing the line of credit account early ( before 3 years ), which they will waive since I opened up another line of credit account with the same bank and account will be cleared with no dues in 2-3 business day. I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX and found amount is still outstanding so I called PNC bank on XX/XX/XXXX and again they gave me the same answer saying they will escalate this and will be resolved, I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that now I owe {$360.00} for account closing and another {$360.00} for diff in payoff amount ( which they done have any explanation on ) so in total according to PNC I owe {$730.00}. 

I have also had issue with the same bank XX/XX/2016 on my line of credit account where they tried to debit ( ACH ) my monthly payment from random account ( I didnt have any PNC account ) and when payment was returned they charged me fees and then reversed but from my next payment they took away the entire amount and applied it to the interest instead of my term which is principal and interest. 




Also, this account also shows that my next payment due is {$910.00}, can you please let me know why since this account is already closed? 




On my new line of credit accouint ending in XXXX - When is my next payment due and what would be the amount? 




I would really appreciate if you can help me by answering above and taking care of this. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Was talked into getting massive amounts of loans when I enrolled, was lied to about the amount I was taking and was not assisted with finding a career that would allow the ability to pay off the loan. Attempts to renegotiate or reduce payments resulted in being told only options are forbearance for up to 3 months at a time. When attempting to add additional payments or trying to pay off specific loans, funds are split between loans seemingly arbitrarily even when specifying that payment should only be going to one, and XXXX/Navient will change due dates of payments without ample notice, resulting in late payment.

Company: Pacific Credit Services, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had my child in a daycare and made all my payments on time. I found out that this daycare was putting XXXX removed my child from this day care. XXXX other mothers did the same. I was all paid up at this time. I was then told by the woman that owns the company that I owed dues not only for that month, ( which was paid ), but also for the following month, which I did not. I have the proof that I owed nothing more to this company and can provide this. I then began receiving collection notifications from Pacific Credit Services that increased each month. I never received any notification from the daycare - no warning, grace period, statement explaining what I owed this money for, etc. My credit report now states that I owe {$790.00} for nothing. Not only that, but they continue to re-age my account, when I have made no payments, have had no contact ; nothing. That in itself is grounds for a suit pursuant to the FDCPA. This company is absolutely violating my rights and I intend to sue this company if they do not remove this negative and illegal listing from my credit report immediately.

This company, named DCI, has reported an account in my name from XXXX, that I do not have a contract with, and I have also never received any communication from them about said debt. They were disputed in XX/XX/2016 and removed by XXXX shortly after during the same month because they could NOT validate.

In XX/XX/2016, they re-obtained this account, and have re-reported it to my account, now using a NEW name -- " Diversified Consultants INC '', instead of " DCI '' I have never received a dunning letter/ nor debt validation, describing how my SSN/NAME is connected with this alleged account from XXXX ; I am a XXXX customer. 

If they continue to report or sell it to another agency, I intend to sue due to debt collection violations/company misrepresentation.

My latest deposit should have been deposited on XXXX XXXX, 2015. It was not until I was able to make it back home with no money that I realized that my card would n't work anywhere. Then I discovered I could not access their customer service, and I could n't go to an ATM to withdraw money and I am now behind on all of my bills. I can not get any of my money out from my direct deposit once I finally was able to go online ; it shows that they reactivated an old expired card and placed money on it, but now since I do n't have the card anymore and it 's no longer valid, my money is still locked up in their system! I am past due on all my bills and now I 'm having to borrow money to get to work. Their false promises on social media asking for my name and address and phone number to call me is getting no results, because no has contacted me since all of of this has happened. Please help me recover my hard-earned money ; this is my last resort!

Complaint narrative:
Usaa bank is in my mind committing the biggest act of consumer XXXX I have ever seen.You should be ashamed of yourselves. I got a letter from XXXX that investigated part of the issues and this is the second time they investigated and USAA has lied to them, And sadly, I have proof. I have two phone calls from one of your CEO telling me that USAA OWES ME NOTHING AT ALL, dated XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. In letter to XXXX you stated in XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX that you were waiting for receipt of my medical bills for car accident. Which is untrue. You point blank told me in XXXX XXXX when I sent a 15 day demand letter over issues with BANKING, CREDIT CARD, AUTO and RENTERS INSURANCE, you told me you were gon na look into these matter, as of XXXX XXXX, nothing, not one issue was resolved or even addressed properly. You use your stall tactics well. I have phone records, faxes emails and the like to show all I have on my end to prove my issues are valid. But USAA Does not care if a customer complains cause you laugh it off. You have no state of grace. I never seen a company who operates under such false pretenses and I have heard my share of other USAA complaints form other former members and the fact that the issues are so similar scare me. Whenever there is an issue whether it be banking or insurance, USAA immediate response is to yell at the customer and make them feel bad. Usaa loves to use stall tactics and drag its feet so that it can use time to make the issue disappear without having to be responsible. Usaa uses standard policies to under mind its customers and pull rug out from underneath them. USAA does not return calls or letters or responses on time or ever in most cases, when it comes to handling a claim or having to respond or react to something and actually take care of policy or regulation issues. Usaa would rather spend money on keeping up false front then handling the banking and insurance issues they are suppose to. After all the issues we went through, with over XXXX policy issues not taken care of. And USAA closing bank accounts down and holding our money for months right after we were identity theft and that is just a few of the issues USAA has done. But after all that, after USAA refused to help get us a car when they were suppose to costing us over XXXX more money then needed. And after the XX/XX/XXXX car accident USAA had nerve to send letters begging we keep auto insurance policy active even though we did not have a car, so you could get your {$150.00} a month for NOTHING. You are quite simply worst of the worst. These issues will not go away until resolved.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up online for a promotion from Discover for a credit card offering a 12 month 0 % balance transfer option. I was approved and proceeded to transfer {$1500.00} from a XXXX XXXX card with a high interest rate. When I received my first bill from Discover, it showed an interest charge for the balance transfer. I contacted Discover, and they are telling me that we replied to a " counter offer '' with different terms. This is incorrect. Everything was approved during the initial application online. Even now, when I do a soft inquiry on their website to see what I may be approved for, the offer is still open to me to submit a balance transfer at 0 % interest for 12 months. Discover has said they will review it, but to allow up to 30 days for a response and in the meantime I should consider transferring the balance to a different company. This is not acceptable.
