Product: Debt collection

13 years ago when my son was born we signed up for XXXX XXXX XXXX for him. We paid, there was annual charge which a few years later I did not wish to renew. I informed them. This was 10 or 11 years ago. Now, a company claiming they are representing XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( which I last contacted 10 or 11 years ago I was no longer interested in their services ) is attempting to collect a debt of {$650.00} and has reported this to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I only found out about this from my credit report I was never actually contacted. This company is AWA COLLECTIONS. I have no further knowledge of why I owe this money, why this is coming up now when I cancelled this service at least 10 years ago.

On XX/XX/2023 a purchase for {$300.00} was made to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX '' was purchased for {$220.00}, a little prior to store closing. 

After returning home with the item, it was unable to be used due to the size of the product being extremely too small. We attempted to make a store return on XX/XX/2023, right when the store opened and was told that they wouldn't accept it due to having an exact item Exhange policy or all sales final.

Nothing was disclosed to us upon purchase of the items being final sale. Additionally, I find it unreasonable that customers must blind sightedly purchase items at that cost and hope for the best on size, etc. They need to provide floor samples, or replicas, something so that purchases are not made blind sighted. Additionally, make your customers aware of your return policy on items that are that much.

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found 120 days late payment on the dates XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me.
Product: Checking or savings account

In XXXX of 2022 I opened an online bank account with Truist in hopes of building a relationship with the company. I have a small business and was hoping to utilize some of the products the company offers to help people like me. 

On XX/XX/2022 I received a notice of account closure. I called Truist customer service to inquire on the reasoning behind the closure and the representative informed me that it was for identity fraud. The rep then transferred me to the fraud department, who confirmed this reasoning, and proceeded to informed me that Truist is requiring me to enter a physical bank branch near me, with XXXX forms of identification, to reopen my account. The rep also informed me that there was no way I would be able to upload the required documents. 

When I opened the account initially in XXXX, I uploaded the required documents which in-turn led to Truist to accepting me as a member. Even going as far as letting me deposit money and sending me a debit card. If Truist suspects my identity as fraudulent, why didnt this bank flag me in the early application stages? 

Does Truist require all members to visit a local branch to verify identity? I live in XXXX, Ohio and the nearest branch is in XXXX, Ohio, XXXX miles away! What if I cant make it to the nearest branch? Whats the solution then? Close my account? I refuse to believe that with all the modern technology today, Truist Bank cant figure out a way to verify a new members identity without requiring them to come into a physical branch. I believe I am being wrongfully targeted and am being totally neglected by this companys policies and tactics.
Product: Student loan

Sallie Mae, now Navient, did not inform me in Fall of 2007 that I could have transferred my loan to XXXX XXXX. I started working as a public service librarian at a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2007. The PSLF program began in Fall 2007 with XXXX XXXX. Sallie Mae should have informed me that I could have transferred my student loans to XXXX XXXX at that time. This mean that I have been neglected the opportunity to be forgiven from the bulk of my student loan debt ( considering that I am still work as a pubic service librarian at the same place since XX/XX/2007 ). When I contacted XXXX XXXX about this matter, they said it was out of their hands and their was nothing they could do about it. Should I contact the Ombudsman ( if so, what is the contact information ) or should I start/join a class action lawsuit against Navient ( formerly Sallie Mae )? Please advise.

Something is very wrong with your mobile app and your website in the way that it displays scheduled automatic payments. My payment is due on the XXXX of every month. I am enrolled in automatic payments. I had recently changed the amount of my automatic payment as my balance decreased ( it was previously {$300.00} per month but since my statement balance is now less than {$300.00} per month, I revised it to pay my statement balance ). 

Because I did this, I went in last night to ensure that the payment processed. Around XXXXXXXX p.m. central time, I logged in to the app. To my surprise, the next pending automatic payment reflected was going to be paid XX/XX/2022. I then checked the posted payment section and that revealed no payment was posted for XX/XX/2022. This was concerning as there did not seem to be a payment scheduled for XX/XX/2022. I then went to the website to confirm that this wasn't just an app issue. The website, too, reflected that there was no posted payment and no pending payment for XXXX. I have a perfect payment history and did not want to incur a late fee or any other penalty, so I scheduled a manual payment to be paid XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$300.00}. To my surprise, when I logged in this morning, an automatic payment posted on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$230.00} and my manual payment of {$300.00} that I scheduled is in the " Scheduled '' section and not the " Posted '' section. 

This makes no sense as the automated payment of {$300.00} was not reflected anywhere in my account on XX/XX/XXXX, neither as a pending nor a posted payment. It appears that this payment goes in to some kind of " limbo '' bucket where it is neither a posted payment nor a pending payment. This is a UDAAP violation. This is unfair and deceptive, as it caused me to make an additional payment to you that I would not have otherwise made. I could not have reasonably avoided any of this as your systems did not reflect any pending or posted payment as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Screenshots 1-3 were taken at approximately XXXX p.m. on XX/XX/XXXX, and Screenshots 4-5 were taken the morning of XX/XX/XXXX. Please refund my payment in the amount of {$300.00} and fix your systems so you can see that there is an automatic payment pending the day that it is scheduled to be paid!

I made every single payment on my mortgage through Investors Bank. My mortgage was sold to Citizens when Citizens bought Investors last year. Citizens immediately showed their issues with transition when they sent multiple wrong emails about mortgages and every time I called to ensure everything was correct. For example, I received an email that my escrow was not paid - it was through the mortgage, but Citizens issued an error. 

When everything was finally settled with the transition, I reached out to Citizens to ensure everything was set up and they assured me it was. At some point, I was kicked off auto pay and even though money was deposited into my account, it was not drawing out the mortgage. When I logged in, no error message came up to let me know anything was due so I thought it was fine. One day, I looked deeper and saw it was not paying the mortgage. I reached out and Citizens said it kicked me off auto pay but they could not reverse the late charge. I was never contacted by the bank to let me know of this issue and was not given any grace due to their system error. 

I reached out via phone and no one could help. If you look in my payment history, I never missed a single payment with Investors and this company 's wonky online system and incompetence is the reason an error occurred.

Now I am trying to purchase a new home and it is impacting my credit. I am writing for an investigation to occur so I can hope to have the late penalty reversed.

Wednesday XX/XX/ Dear CFPB employees, Subject : Complaint - Request for Proof of Late Payment under 15 USC 1666b To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX regarding a disputed late payment on my consumer report. I have requested proof from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Director of Compliance and XXXX XXXX CEO, that the payments were indeed late based on the specifications of 15 USC 1666b, but they have failed to provide the required information. 

I am a diligent consumer who is well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable consumer financial protection laws. I recently corresponded with XXXX  XXXX, specifically with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, regarding the late payments that they have listed on my consumer report. I requested in good faith the necessary documents to prove that the information required by section 1666b of 15 USC was mailed out or delivered 21 days before the payment due date. 

However, they have not provided any evidence or documentation to support their claim of a late payment. I assert that according to the law, a creditor can not treat a payment as late without complying with the stipulations outlined in 15 USC 1666b. I have not received proof of such compliance. 

This refusal by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to provide the requested information is a clear violation of section 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and section 15 USC 1666b & 1637 ( b ) of the applicable title. 

I hereby demand that XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX provide the required information and proof of the alleged late payment within 10 calendar days from the receipt of this complaint. Any correspondence NOT including the proof I am demanding will be deemed a failure to comply. Failure to comply with this request will be deemed as an admission that the reported late payment is erroneous, and I insist on its immediate deletion from my consumer report. 

Furthermore, I will be submitting this complaint and the related facts and correspondence to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and you guys, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for further investigation and appropriate action if XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX do not rectify this matter promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. I look forward to a swift resolution and the accurate representation of my consumer report. 

Sincerely, XXXX.
