Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a consolidation student loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX. The consolidation loan made a disbursement to a traditional student loan also held by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Said disbursement resulted in an overpayment and, as such, the traditional student loan has remained open. After discovering the overpayment, on XX/XX/XXXX I called the consolidation loan servicer, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ), and requested that the overpayment be applied to the new, consolidation student loan. I was told by the customer service representative that this would take 3-4 business days to complete and that, thereafter, the traditional loan would be closed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my account via XXXX 's website and noticed that rather than the overpayment being applied to the consolidation student loan, the original payoff from XX/XX/XXXX had been reversed, leaving the traditional student loan with a balance. My consolidation loan in turn had a larger balance, confirming that the payment had indeed been reversed. Since then, I have called three times per week, and each customer service representative has told me that they have emailed your e-check department and have not had the courtesy of any reply. This is unacceptable. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have received a bill with a due date of XX/XX/XXXX for the traditional student loan. It has a balance and it has accrued interest and the account is now open and accruing daily interest.

Consumer Complaint: The Doctor 's office charged me for a broken appointment last XXXX. I had called and personally spoken to the receptionist and cancelled the appointment. She asked me why and I told her. I have received bills from the Dr. 's office, the bill collection agency, and repeated phone calls about this bill. I have written letters to the Dr.s office and the bill collection agency explaining what happened. I have made repeated phone calls to the Dr.s staff and the bill collection agency explaining that the appointment was cancelled and I should not be charged. Nothing has worked.

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Consumer Complaint: Good morning, On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Transworld Systems , Inc. stating the creditor-XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX had placed an amount of {$23000.00} for collection and requesting this amount in full. On XX/XX/XXXX the debt for the amount previously mentioned was added to my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a debt validation letter mailed certified asking for proof of the alleged debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a response from Transworld Systems , Inc. regarding an account payment history with their office. Transworld Systems also supplied documents of a Loan Request/Credit Agreement with the Lender -- XXXX XXXX XXXX, a note disclosure statement with Lender XXXX XXXX XXXX, and a Loan Payment History Report. None of the supplied documents sent by Transworld Systems , Inc provided proof that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX owned the loan from the Lender. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX for legal advice by XXXX XXXX XXXX and supplied the Attorney documents of the information sent to me. The Attorney sent a letter on my behalf also requesting for validation. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from from XXXX XXXX XXXX that a letter to Transworld Systems , Inc. has been sent on my behalf requesting for validation and proof of loan ownership. On XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me the response from Transworld Systems , Inc. providing them with the same exact documents sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX. Again, this does not show proof of ownership of this debt/loan. Documents will be uploaded for review. Thank you.

Consumer Complaint: This letter is regarding a false debt that I have repeatedly tried to resolve with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I ended up having to file a fraud report against the company with XXXX, Report # XXXX. I believe this false billing is in retaliation for reporting them. In XX/XX/2018, I received a bill, in the amount of XXXX, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX showing a total billed amount of XXXX for date of service XX/XX/18. Please see front and back of statement dated XX/XX/2018. XX/XX/2018 XXXX Insurance Contractual Adjustment of XXXX XX/XX/2018 XXXX Insurance Contractual Adjustment of XXXX XX/XX/2018 XXXX Insurance Contractual Adjustment of XXXX Reverse XX/XX/2018 XXXX Payment XXXX Total insurance payments made are in the amount of XXXX, leaving a XXXX co-pay, which my secondary insurance needed to pick up. So, provided my secondary insurance information. Then in XX/XX/2018, I received another bill. Please see statement dated XX/XX/2018. The big problem on this bill is now that XXXX had payment from both my insurances and somehow they are trying to bill me XXXX. This bill shows the following total amount billed XXXX. Adjustments of XXXX XXXX Insurance Payment XXXX XXXX Insurance Payment XXXX The total payments and credits come to XXXX, showing this account was not only PAID IN FULL, but that it was over paid by XXXX. Yet, somehow, they come up with this XXXX number saying it is due. How can they not see their own accounting problem? After multiple attempts to try to get XXXX to acknowledge the problem I finally called my insurance company who also confirmed that according to their records I was only responsible for XXXX and that if the other insurance over paid then we would not have any balance due. By XXXX own accounting, the bill was XXXX, they received XXXX in credits and adjustments. So how can XXXX make up a number and send me multiple bills and ignore all my attempts to resolve this, unless it is intentional? In summary, I owed XXXX co-pay showed on statement dated XX/XX/18. Then I provided my secondary insurance information to XXXX to cover my co-pay. XXXX then received an additional XXXX from my second insurance which ultimately over paid the account and yet XXXX somehow says the account is still owed XXXX. The accounting on their own bill does not add up. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: Date : XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau To whom it may concern : Re : Transworld Sysytems # XXXX I submitted a complaint to your office on XX/XX/XXXX regarding Transworld Systems Inc. because of an attempt to collect a debt from me that I did not owe ; the complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is listed under # XXXX-XXXX. Subsequently, I received a letter from your organization with a copy of correspondence from Transworld Systems that stated the matter was being closed because Transworld determined that I was not the consumer who owed the debt and Transworld said that they would have no further contact with me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received yet another letter from Transworld Systems attempting to collect a new debt from me in the amount of {$17.00} with a license plate number that I have no knowledge of is not connected to my driving history. I am obviously disputing this new debt and I plan to send Transworld a certified letter indicating that I dispute the validity of the debt. However, I do not understand why Transworld Systems continues to attempt to collect a debt from me knowing that I am not the consumer who owes the debt, and seemingly without doing any work to identify the person who actually owes the debt. I am a XXXX-year-old woman who drives a 9-year-old XXXX vehicle. If necessary, I will provide your agency with information regarding my drivers license and license plate so that you can compare that information to Transworld Systems records. However, these constant letters from Transworld seem to constitute harassment and I shutter to think about how many senior citizens and other un suspecting consumers they are harassing without cause. Please assist me with resolving this matter. Best, XXXX XXXX
