Consumer complaint: I paid {$75.00} annual fee on my checking account with Suntrust. This fee was paid for account benefits that include XXXX XXXX XXXX reward for each {$1.00} spent. However, they changed rules in XXXX 2015 and now XXXX XXXX XXXX reward will be rewarded for each {$2.00} spent and they also limited the maximum award to XXXX miles per month which makes this checking account absolutely useless for me. I paid {$75.00} for the full year of advertised benefit and I am not getting it anymore so I believe that bank must refund me my annual fee for this year.

Consumer complaint: I had a business credit card account with Bank of America. The payment was late. They took money out of my personal checking account without my authorization. When I called Bank of America they refused to investigate the charge. If they had a judgement I can see how taking money out of my account would be fine, but they do n't. My personal checking account is not linked to the business account ( for a reason ) and there was n't enough in the business account for them to siphen money from, so they took it out of a personal account instead. When I called to dispute the charge I was told that I 'd have to dispute it with the credit card department. If it had been any other creditor I would be allowed to dispute it with my bank for an unauthorized charge ( listed as a debit card purchase ). The representative said that the checking account was linked to the business credit card which is completely false, but still I did not authorize that charge. There is no judgement that would give them access to my account. If I were having this dispute with any other credit card company they could n't just take money out of my account without my permission or a judgment and the judgment would be against the business as again this is not a personal account.

Consumer complaint: I have a security freeze placed on my credit reports with all XXXX credit reporting agencies. When I need to thaw my credit reports I can go to the website of the agency, and using my personal information and a PIN that is assigned to me by that agency, I can temporarily unfreeze my credit so I can apply for credit when I need it. This has worked fine for me until the last XXXX times that I have tried to thaw my credit ( starting in XXXX 2015 ). Now XXXX of the agencies, Experian, will not allow me to thaw my credit online or through their automated phone system. They are requiring me to send to them via US Mail, copies of my driver license, Social Security Card and a current utility bill. This has turned the process of thawing my credit from a simple XXXX minute exercise into a seven day wait and a major inconvenience. I have been unable to contact anyone at Experian to help me resolve this problem.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX an account was opened in my name under false pretense by someone using fraudulent information. The person took the money and ran. I reached out to bank for assistance in getting resolve but they were only concerned about getting paid. In fact their only solution was to put me on a repayment plan with a higher interest rate until the debt was paid. They knew about the scam because of other victims but never offered to help. In XXXX a judgment was awarded against me. At the same time the bank was suing the person who scammed me for the same loan. In XXXX the scammer plead guilty but NFCU still came after me for the money. All of my attempts for resolve were forwarded to their attorney who only allowed for a repayment plan. Today I still suffer from the effects of this mentally and financially.

We have been charged excessive fees by SPS making it harder to get a loan modification. We were constantly being asked for the same documents over and over.

I had sent my request and explanation to Wells Fargo ( by fax on XXXX ) asking them to remove the lien from my property and to send me the release letter stating that I do not owe them any money ( which I need to be approved for a home equity loan ) but so far I was unable to get the lien removed.

Consumer complaint: I was required to pay {$25.00} interest each month on my student loan. I missed a payment so was in arrears by {$25.00}. So i logged into the Sallie Mae website and set up an auto debit of {$50.00} per month so that I would clear my arrears and start paying down my loan by more than my minimum. When the auto debit came around instead of taking {$50.00} out of my bank it just took {$25.00} leaving me in arrears. I then got phone calls and messages from Sallie Mae telling me I was in arrears. When I checked the auto debit was still set up for {$50.00} per month but despite that Sallie Mae only took the minimum {$25.00} out. When I phoned up to ask why they told me that that is the way the system works and that I could not set up an auto debit for more than the required minimum. This is despite the fact that there online system allowed me to do this, still reports that I have a {$50.00} per month auto debit and above all else should allow me to pay down my loan faster than the minimum. When I challenged them again they told me that the only way to pay down the loan faster was by one off single payments. 
My frustration was that at no time was I told that I could only pay off the minimum amount of {$25.00} through the auto debit system, and that by not taking out my {$50.00} payment it kept me in arrears unintentionally on my part. 
I should be able to pay down my loans faster if I want though the auto payment system and if this is not possible Sallie Mae should have notified me when I set up the auto debit and not then complain when the arrears payment was not taken out by them. 
For students learning about how to handle financial management the system in place seems to only help Sallie Mae not the student. In helping to keep the student in arrears even when they tried to pay off the loan faster than required. 
Even there new look website is poorly designed mixing interest with payments in the same column so its harder to see how the loan balance is going up or down based upon the loan servicing. Why oh Why does the loan statement not separate additional charges and interest into its own column separate from the payments made to pay down the loan. This would give students a much clearer idea of how there loan is progressing rather than having to read down and across for each number to understand its meaning. Once again a missed opportunity to make it easier for students to service there loan.
