Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: As of XXXX XXXX began overpaying/underpaying accounts allowing some to go delinquent then they sent me to collections. It took a month for XXXX to retroactively allocate funds to underpaid accounts and fix my credit. In XXXX, I pre-paid XXXX and XXXX yet received a letter seeking more money for XXXX. I spoke with them and they claimed that someone turned off prepayment in XXXX and would fix it. A week later I saw my account was asking for more money to cover XXXX. At that point I realized that they were not capable of resolving the issue. I filed a XXXX claim and have been back and forth with XXXX. I shared XXXX complaint and responses with loan and banking professionals. They concur that XXXX made a series of errors and the responses do not reflect an understanding of the problem or resolution. In plain terms, they said XXXX doesn't know what it's talking about or has decided it would rather I make another overpayment to fix their mistake and go away. I do not want to make multiple payments for the same month because XXXX overpaid XXXX account at other accounts ' expense. XXXX needs to learn how to do its job. XXXX needs to go back and redistribute my monthly payment to cover all of my individual accounts so that they are current. Doing so will show that I do not owe any money for the month of XXXX. Failure to do so is evidence that XXXX is incapable of doing what it is paid to do, which is manage student loan payments. In short, XXXX 's only reasonable response to my complaint is to do what it is paid to do, which is take a monthly payment that meets or exceeds the minimum requirement on the statement and ensure all accounts are up to date.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX was closed and transferred to collections on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I completed loan rehabilitation and the record of default was ordered deleted and my loans were returned to Great Lakes XXXX services. Ive been making payments monthly since that time. My current XXXX XXXX being serviced by Great Lakes XXXX services is XXXX. In a previous complaint to CFPB, Great Lakes XXXX services stated that once a loan is closed and transferred they can no longer make any reporting changes or modifications to payment history on that loan and therefore could not offer remedy for loan XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX Great Lakes XXXX services reported a late payment of 120 days past due for the month of XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is not only a contradiction to earlier claims that they can not change payment history once a loan is transferred but a blatant violation of my rights under FCRA. The rules do not allow reporting of additional late payments on accounts that are settled. Ive attached a copy of my XXXX credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX that shows the late payment reported bu Great Lakes XXXX services and has caused a significant decrease in my credit score. I want this fix immediately or I will be forced to pursue other avenues for relief.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: After having difficulty getting a cosigner release form from Firstmark, I filed complaint # XXXX as they would not respond to me. They did provide a release form in their response to you but never sent it to me. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent them a completed application and the requested paystubs. The form requests my permanent address, not my mailing address, which I provided. My mailing address is listed on my paystubs as it needs to be to receive my paycheck. XX/XX/XXXX, Firstmark denied my application because the permanent address provided does not match my mailing address. My mailing address is also the only one they have on my account.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is submitting this complaint myself and no third party is involved. Pursuant to 31 USC 3718, " Under conditions the head of an executive, judicial, or legislative agency considers appropriate, the head of the agency may enter into a contract with a person for collection service to recover indebtedness owed, or to locate or recover assets of, the United States Government. The head of an agency may not enter into a contract under the preceding sentence to locate or recover assets of the United States held by a State government or financial institution unless that agency has established procedures approved by the Secretary of the Treasury to identify and recover such assets. '' and as such, I have yet to receive lawful proof from NELNET that approval to collect on the alleged debt was granted in accordance to the UNITED STATES code listed above.

We did supply FIRSTMARK with the correct banking intuition, I have called to make payments and also made payments at the FIRSTMARK website. We are being inundated with phone calls and e-mails from FIRSTMARK requesting payments. I have answered all calls, given each FIRSTMARK rep the correct/updated info. Our credit rating is being affected. We want to manage these loans, make payments on time, receive and give the correct and updated information. I have e-mailed Firstmark, phoned customer service, waited on hold, reached out for help and have had NO RESPONSE from FIRSTMARK. This company has called me over and over and over again requesting a payment that was MADE ON TIME. The calls are all recorded, please listen to me explain over and over again, request a supervisor to correct or ask for help.. I have requested paper statements, told were not available to print and send. No person has ever called or reached out to us XXXX XXXX, we never had a problem with, Firstmark has the worst customer service I personally have had the misfortune to work with. We have made three payments to Firstmark since XXXX of just under {$1000.00} each month. No action has been taken by Firstmark other than to continuously call and e-mail. Also, there are statements dated XX/XX/2021 for a XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, in New Jersey. This is not me. This entire process borders on harassment. Please I need help. I thank you for your time. Please advise if you can.
