Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Santander bank u.s.a bank used a settlement check I got from an insurance company to pay for damages and used it to pay off the remaining car loan. Its been a month since my car has been payed off and they still do not want to release my title or the money left over after paying off my loan. They closed my account which makes it very difficult to get in contact with them via phone. I chatted with a customer service person named XXXX and gave me false information. He said my title was sent electronically to my dmv because that was the law. I called my local dmv and they told me that the title is suppose to be sent to my address. They are sitting on car title and money that belongs to me and have no rush in giving me my property.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I originally borrowed about XXXX for XXXX and XXXX school.Over the years I never really made enough money to pay them back. I was told that my deferment time was all used up and they said to put it into forbearance. Not sure if it was true about my deferment being used up. So now my amount is up to XXXX. The loans were taken out early to mid XXXX for XXXX probably through XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX/Navient. I always thought forbearance both ran out at some point as well. This is still my understanding. I truly feel that they were n't looking out for my best interest. I 'm XXXX now and I do n't see how I can pay them back. I 'm only making XXXX now despite my best efforts to get a better paying job. Right now I 'm under an IBDR plan and paying nothing based on my current salary. I believe if they had worked with me with my best interest in mind somewhere along the way we may have been able to work something out. But now with limited income and high student loan debt, I 'm turning to you. Ive requested copues from Navient and they have never sent anything despite saying they would regarding copies of the original paperwork. Please help.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This correspondence is in response to my request for a courtesy/good-will credit retraction and the response I received on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. In the letter I was told that such late payments on credit reports could not be removed due to regulations promulgated by the FCRA. Contrary to these assertions, by failing to update previously reported information, XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. 

FTC advisory opinion which interprets Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA. The issue posed in the advisory opinion is how a lender is to handle a situation when subsequent information updates a report that was allegedly accurate when it was made but no longer is accurate in the present time ( i.e., the identical situation I am currently in ). Here is a link to the FTC advisory opinion I am referring to in the rest of this letter. https : //www.ftc.gov/policy/advisory-opinions/advisory-opinion-harris-03-22-99 The advisory opinion states that the Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA addresses the duty to correct and update information by furnishers, or persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) such as credit bureaus. In particular, this section requires a person that has furnished to a consumer reporting agency information that the person determines is not complete or accurate to promptly notify the consumer reporting agency of that determination and provide any information needed to make it complete and accurate. Thus, on its face, this provision requires a furnisher to provide corrected or updated information to the consumer reporting agency that it had reported to originally. This duty extends to all student loan accounts reported to CRAs, regardless of whether they were accurate at one point, because the section requires the furnisher both to update accounts as well as to correct. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX representatives told me that because the delinquent payments were accurately reported in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX and that XXXX XXXX XXXX will not update this information. However, Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) clearly shows that the reports must be updated/corrected regardless of whether they were accurate at one point. *

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I sold my property mortgaged with Freedom Mortgage, with closing scheduled XX/XX/XXXX. I have made three attempts to obtain a payoff statement from Freedom Mortgage - XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX - all of which have been unsuccessful. During my XX/XX/XXXX conversation with Freedom Mortgage, they stated that they will make every attempt to provide the payoff statement on XX/XX/XXXX - which results in a likely delay of scheduled closing. 

Why does it take 17 days to obtain a payoff amount/statement for an existing loan?
