Complaint narrative:
I applied for a mortgage application on XX/XX/2024 and had my credit pulled. On a mortgage application it is required to pull credit from all 3 agencies : Equifax, XXXX and XXXX. I DID NOT GIVE CONSENT TO SELL MY INFORMATION and My mortgage broker did not sell my information but the credit agencies did! EQUIFAX, XXXX, XXXX. How is it legal for them to do sell my information without my consent? How can other lenders/broker BUY LEADS from you without gettting the consent from the Mortgage Broker that I hired to represent me?! 

I received 40 phone calls in 1 day from other lenders and mortgage brokers offering their services and although i appreciate the opportunity to shop around for the best loan product for my situation, If I choose to shop around that is my choice and should be under my control. I do not want nor did I approve selling my contact information to these other lenders and brokers! I continued to get at least 20 calls and text messages every day for a week. 

Please help protect consumers with this illegal activity. Thank you!

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The company ( Aidvantage ) has a well-documented history of being unable to process automated payments through their website. I've several payments returned to me & the company promised to open an investigation around my issue. 
However, when I went back in to make my payments they were returned ( again ) and in speaking with multiple representatives, they are very useless & do not care/help get the IT issue resolved on their end. 

It's been months of back and forth with the company and as I mentioned earlier, this is a well-documented issue for borrowers being unable to repay their student loans. Additionally, their website ensures that this is the fastest/ most-reliable method for doing so.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have had multiple loans with Navient since I enrolled in school almost XXXX  years ago. XXXX of them is paid off now but the other has a little over XXXX XXXX balance on XXXX XXXXXXXX borrowed. I have paid almost XXXX XXXX in interest over the life of this loan alone. 

The loan in question is from a school that is part of the XXXX XXXX XXXX  settlement.

I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX  of that suit and my federal loans with them are in the process of being discharged. Over the years SallieMae/Navient has told me over and over and over that my only options are deferment or consolidation. Over and over I have asked for help or leniency as not only did I have private loans with them but federal loans with the Department of Education. Paying off all of these loans has been a real struggle but especially now that my interest rate is almost 17 % on the loans I have remaining. I borrowed {$6.00} to try to get a degree from a school that has now been found guilty of misleading students and forcing private loans on them to cover what federal loans wouldn't. Navient has made XXXX XXXX in profit off of my loans and I still have XXXX XXXXXXXX remaining. How is this right? How can institutions like Navient get away with fleecing hardworking people who are just trying to better themselves and their families? It shouldn't be allowed.
