Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have been making extra payments to the principle on my mortgage loan for almost 2 years and as far as I can tell my mortgage servicer ( Seterus Inc. ) had been applying the extra payment to principle ( as I instructed my Mortgage Loan servicer from the start of these extra principle payments ) until sometime at XXXX XXXX of 2017. Starting in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX 2017 I increased the extra payment to principle too {$1100.00} and the mortgage servicer ( Seterus Inc. ) has been misapplying these payments to additional interest instead of principle. I have instructed the servicer every month that they are to apply anything above the normal payment totally to principle, even going so far last month spending hours on the phone talking to an upper customer service manager and she assured me that these past payments and any future payments would be correctly applied to principle. She also instructed me to view a file online for my statement and payment history that would show the corrected amounts applied to principle and any adjustments would be made to my payment and balance history. In viewing the history file for my mortgage I can clearly see that what was promised has not happened. The extra amount that I am paying is a substantial amount {$1100.00} and will add up quickly if this is not corrected quickly. Please help as the company will not give me anyone above this manager that I talked to last month to correct this problem Thanks

Complaint narrative:
Item purchased : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Camera + 18-135mm USM + 70-300 USM + 50mm 1.8 II- SAVE BIG Date : XX/XX/2017 On the above date, I placed a {$1600.00} purchase for the items above and upon its arrival, I realized that the order was missing the camera but however beared most to all of the accessories. Thus, I contacted XXXX immediately with hope that they would have been able to resolve the issue at hand and was asked to file a police a report. I filed the police report and received confirmation that they had received the report. After weeks of waiting for a resolution, I decided to dispute the charge with Chase. I was issued a temporary credit and was educated that they would investigate and make a final decision on the temporary credit at a later date. XXXX,2017, the temporary credit was reversed because per chase the merchant provided proof of delivery and that I did not provide the requested police report to the merchant when asked. Two things have confuses me throughout the entire so called chase investigation of the chargeback ; I was never asked to provide any proof that I did file and send the police report, and the fact that they made their decision solely after the seller provided to them proof of delivery when the original claim was not about the item being delivered or not because the item was indeed delivered but instead of all the ordered being in the box only partial of the order was fulfilled.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX filed a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy in an attempt to modify the mortgage with Wells Fargo Bank on his primary residence and avoid foreclosure. He submitted the necessary documents through the DMM portal and was denied based on his ability to make the original mortgage payment. He appealed the denial and the appeal as denied without specifically addressing the issue of mortgage affordability. Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX business failed and he struggled for several years before finding his new job. It appears that if he had a lower paying job that the mortgage could be modified. It is not the payment that is the problem but the arrearage that has built up while he was not employed.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
The private loans I have through XXXX XXXX were switched to Navient. Navient is not very nice when it comes to loan repayment. After taxes, I bring home XXXX monthly. They have me on a payment plan paying {$250.00} a month. I am a single mother with XXXX dependents. I do n't find this to be affordable. They also try to dictate what type of lifestyle you should live and will only give you a payment plan if you fall within those guidelines. For instance, I got into a car accident and had to get another vehicle. Well I got an SUV, they denied giving me a repayment plan because the vehicle I was paying for monthly was not what I should be driving. The lady told me they only allow a vehicle to be XXXX or less when on repayment plans, absurd. I 'm so afraid to purchase a home because I 'm afraid of not being able to apply for this repayment plan again and be forced to pay $ XXXX monthly. They are n't considerate and I 'd like to know what I can do about this.
Also, many where part of the lawsuit with Navient that caused their loans to be deleted. If I happened to be part of that group would they delete my loans even though I 'm in repayment on a repayment plan?

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : My credit score has been dropping over the few months ; when researching the cause, it seems that there is an " outstanding balance '' on on my XXXX XXXX credit cards. However, I had already paid this credit card off in full and therefore, did not believe that I had any balance left to pay.
When my credit score dropped by another XXXX points this past round and the outstanding balance was cited again, I saw that there was an outstanding charge of {$1.00}.
When reviewing my statements, it looks like even after I 've paid my last amount in full, there was a retroactive interest charge / fee that was applied without my knowledge, resulting in the {$1.00} balance that was applied in XXXX  and carried over into XXXX. When I called XXXX XXXX Credit Card services, they removed the {$1.00} balance as a " courtesy '' ; however, they cited this charge as an interest charge.
Despite the generous removal of this {$1.00} balance, my credit score has taken quite a hit. Therefore, I was wondering if there is any way that I can rectify this situation and / or if there are other factors that are contributing to my low score. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do / if you need additional information from me.
Warmest regards, XXXX

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I have a direct debit scheduled for the XXXX of every month for 3 student loans. The debit is more than the minimum payment which I allocate the excess amount to each loan. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reallocated the excess payment to pay more towards the loan with the highest interest. I called the servicer on XX/XX/XXXX to ensure that my regularly scheduled direct debit would take place on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative assured me that the appropriate amount would be taken out. I informed him that when I logged online that it showed a lower amount than I normally pay and the direct debit amount did not necessarily look like it was scheduled. He assured me that there were two payment schedules and that it would total the full amount I typically pay. The following week, on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed nothing took place and my account became delinquent. So I called on that day and was told that they would reschedule my payment and no action on my part was to be taken. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed nothing took place again. So I called and was told that it should be fixed within the next couple of business days and a note was made on my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed my account was still delinquent, no action or debit had taken place with my bank, and called again. Finally, I was told that the task scheduled would take an overpayment I made from XX/XX/XXXX and allocate it as my XX/XX/XXXX payment to remove the delinquent status. This task takes up to 10 business days. This representative communicated this information to me and was new information after speaking to XXXX other representatives over an almost 2 week period. While this does not affect my credit score, I do believe the servicer is responsible for having representatives who are capable of explaining to consumers the appropriate information to prevent situations where someone is delinquent on a loan. Had I known what the 4th representative told me on XX/XX/XXXX, I would have scheduled a payment to prevent a delinquent status on my loans.
