Consumer complaint: A few months ago, I failed to receive a statement on my Sears credit card. Luckily, I remembered the payment was usually due around the XXXX, so I went by the local Sears store and made a payment. My wife was concerned about not having received a statement, so we waited XXXX weeks for the next statement showing the last payment and current balance, but it never came. My wife called them and explained she was concerned that someone could have been able to change our mailing address and could be using the card info fraudulently. Of course the could n't tell her anything since her name is n't on the account. So I called and the address was correct and they promised to send another statement, but nothing came. I have called XXXX more times and complained to the local store ( who said they hear that complaint a lot but ca n't do anything about the credit card ) and every time I have received a promise we will start receiving statements, but we have not received XXXX yet. We have missed the last XXXX statements. We could go online, but prefer to receive a statement via mail.

Consumer complaint: This is a request for SunTrust Bank to reimburse me a total of {$100.00} for XXXX items ( {$64.00} and {$36.00} ), both for the same account. 

Item # XXXX : {$64.00} -- the merchandise I ordered on XXXX was not delivered ; this transaction was posted on XXXX/XXXX/2015. The merchandise was to have been delivered in 5 days. After 10 days, I attempted to contact the merchant via phone and email, but to no avail. I contacted SunTrust at this 10 days mark ( the end of XXXX ) after the merchandise was due. I have constantly been given the run around, each time with the promise that my request would be " escalated ''. Then, on XXXX XXXX, 2015 I was sent a merchant dispute form via email. I completed it, and sent it to the address listed on Saturday, XXXX XXXX via USPS Priority Mail ( so I have the tracking number ). Since then, I have called several times to follow up, and each time was told that it was under review. Once again, I called a couple of weeks ago and indicated that it had been over 3 months!! Once again, I was told that my refund request would be " escalated. '' Then on Friday XXXX/XXXX/2015, I received a letter from SunTrust ( dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) indicating that I had n't notified them in writing within 60 days, and they were not going to assist me. SunTrust sent this response despite the fact that I sent the form on XXXX XXXX via USPS Priority Mail to SunTrust, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX ; SunTrust reps acknowledged that they received the form ; and I have continually followed up over the phone! This is absolutely unacceptable! 

Item # XXXX : {$36.00} for stop payment. I was advised that I would have to call on the same day ( i.e., Thursday XXXX ) to cancel the stop payment and not incur the {$36.00} fee. I called at XXXX EST. I was told that I should have been advised that I had to cancel XXXX hour before they close -- i.e., at XXXX!! So I was XXXX minutes too late. The rep apologized for the misinformation then hung up when I asked to speak to the Manager! Unacceptable!

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2015, I attempted to deposit {$800.00} cash in the ATM at the US Bank location at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, MO. The ATM was unable to complete the transaction and issued a receipt with a toll free number to call. I received an e-mail on XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX stating the deposit transaction completed. The money was still not showing in my account. I called the toll free number, as advised by the branch manager, and started a Reg-E claim. At this time I was told that it would be XXXX business days before my {$800.00} deposit was reflected in my account. My fianc called and tried to speak with the manager because this incident occurred at another US Bank in XXXX and the branch manager was able to issue an instant provisional credit. I still do not have the money in my account, even though I provided the e-mail showing the transaction was completed. I have been advised that they would reverse any NSF fees, but I fee they should also compensate for the inconvenience and interest, as US Bank would charge. This has been a horrible disservice to me and my family as our rent check will be returned and while the account is overdrawn, I have {$50.00} cash to fee my family of XXXX. We should not be inconvenienced due to US Banks faulty equipment. Please help.

Consumer complaint: Over a period of a year the following occurred: 
Dishonestly told me they could not establish a payment plan unless I made a down payment and committed to a monthly payment I couldn't afford. Threatened that if I didn't begin. Along these payments they would garnish my wages. 
Omitted multiple requests to change my address, leading to never receiving ability to dispute an administrative wage garnishment. 
Placed administrative wage garnishment while not allowing my fair right to dispute. 
Despite their unlawful methods of implementing my garnishment, I attempted to  set up loan rehab and on XXXX) occasions of providing the requested info, I was told they never received it. And after (6) months of compliance, I was told these payments were not considered adequate since they "never" received my documentation. They would consider restarting the program after I finally requested I would no longer comply unless all contact was in writing and requested verification of what my balance was based on, since it doesn't match my loan info. They claimed this was a cease and desist, and would no longer deal with me or provide me with any additional information. 
Despite $XXXX in the funds they've recovered my balance has not gone down. To date they still reflect me owing the,  a balance of $XXXX. 
They have yet to provide adequate information breaking down the costs my debt they claim I owe. The info that was provided to me, only accounts for approx 30% ($XXXX) of the balance they claim I owe them ($XXXX). 
Finally after months of attempting to dispute the garnishment they finally rescinded it after I filed a complaint the myeddebt website. I provided hardship paperwork, however FAMS, nor their "special accounts" will discuss my account. I was directed to contact my Ed debt, Whom directed me back to FAMS, despite explaining their refusal.

Consumer complaint: As of the end of this summer, I will have been a graduate student at XXXX University in XXXX, Georgia. I have applied for a SallieMae loan most of the semesters that I have been attending there, and every time that I have, SallieMae has approved my loan without any strings attached. But suddenly, and for the first time, they are requiring me to get a cosigner to acquire a loan. There is nothing in my credit history over the last half year that would even suggest that I have suddenly failed to meet the standards required to receive a loan.

Consumer complaint: I submitted a formal written request directly to XXXX in a " special '' account handling department. XXXX requested that I fax her a request to place the security freeze on my credit report and advised she would process it and issue confirmation and disclosure of system generated PIN. I faxed that over 2 weeks ago. I received a notice dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 with an explanation on how to set up a security freeze. Experian has verification of identity, address for the last two years, social security number. XXXX has this documentation. I have provided this documentation over XXXX times. This is ridiculous.

Consumer complaint: My husband and I are behind in our mortgage payments and Green Tree Mortgage is constantly calling us which I understand is their job. The loan rep. called my work however and told a supervisor who he was. This I think is wrong. He then spoke to my husband XXXX and told him if he gave our bank account number to him he would freeze the mortgage account at Green Tree 's level to keep us out of foreclosure. The loan rep said NO MONEY would be taken from our bank - it was simply an internal form he needed to fill out. My husband believed the man and thought he was helping us out. The loan rep took the account number and submitted some form of request for payment from our bank which overdrew our account by {$3400.00}. We have no money now with a sick husband and XXXX children. I tried to call the mortgage company to report this and was passed from person to person and told they did n't place the hold which was a bold faced lie. Then they told me my husband authorized the hold which was a lie. They kept giving me the run around when I asked to speak to a supervisor or XXXX they kept me on hold for over XXXX minutes waiting to speak with a manager. The mortgage company kept passing me through to XXXX XXXX our loan rep who was the one who LIED to us. I understand we are wrong for not paying but that is not an excuse for a mortgage company to lie about things and overdraw our bank account. My husband is sick and this is so unfair and then to be treated like my complaint was not valid made me so angry and to keep passing me back to the man who started the whole lie was insulting. Please tell me there is something that can be done so this does not happen to anyone else.

Consumer complaint: A copy of a letter written to " Citibank '' ... 
______________Sears Credit CardsXXXX SD XXXXTo Whom It May Concern : Enclose you will Find a check made out to Sears Credit Card in the amount of {$1800.00}. 
Please note that this amount should be greater than the amount owed on my account, # XXXX. 
I instruct that you close my Sears Credit Card account immediately upon receipt and refund the credit balance that should result. 
For the record, I will be greatly relieved to know that I will NEVER have to have any dealings or association with CITIBANK ever again. 
Though I have never in my many decades of life EVER failed to pay an amount owed to a creditor, YOU chose to close this account to new purchases ( which I had no intention of making anyway. ) Your action precipitated the premature termination of my Home Depot account, which cascaded into the closing of my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Because I was then left with greater DEBT than I had CREDIT, my credit standing, was destroyed, I was denied of the opportunity to refinance my home and my inability to obtain a low interest Home Equity account to pay off the remaining, high interest debt I hold, denying me any alternative to paying your unreasonable interest rates. 
What Sears Credit Card Service ( i.e. CitiBank XXXX has done to me should qualify as a felony. Moreover, the person XXXX XXXX ) responsible for putting this usurious policy in place should be jailed, along with that ( those ) person 's superior ( XXXX ). 

I know from talking with your employees that you are doing this to others, as well, so I dare hope we may be able to mount a class action of some sort? 
Rhetorical question ... could my being a single woman over the age of retirement who will continue XXXX indefinitely have influenced your initial actions? Could you have believed me to be without means or resources to fight your discrimination? NOTE - that was a rhetorical question. I do n't want to hear or see anything more from your company. I offer the question for YOUR benefit. 
I do wish you business losses and ultimate business failure, but expect that you will take care of that without my assistance. 
Very sincerely!

Consumer complaint: I filed a complaint with cfpb a few months ago regarding my lender Wells Fargo not working with me in order to get mortgage assistance and/or payment arrangements. Well I lost my home as a result and now they are blocking assistance to do a short sale on the home. XXXX they authorize the start of the short sale in XXXX, but then did not release it out of modification until XXXX XXXX, 2015. Wells Fargo assigned a consultant XXXX XXXX, who would never return my phone calls. Once I was able to speak with XXXX we agreed to proceed to do a short sale IN XXXX 2015. Me and my agent XXXX tried several times to contact XXXX to release from modification status and failed to reach her. Left XXXX messages to do so and finally XXXX XXXX, 2015 my account was moved from modification status to foreclosure status BUT now the sale date is XXXX XXXX, 2015. Wells Fargo made it impossible for my agent to list it as short sale and now due to Wells Fargo lack of communication and lack of action, we now only have 2 weeks to proceed with the short sell. Also, I ask about the HAFA program because I heard about it from a friend and was given the run around. Wells Fargo unprofessionalism has caused me to possibly miss out on taking advantage of doing a short sale as well as the XXXX program. I ca n't tell you how frustrating this process has been. When I initially contacted Wells Fargo I was behind XXXX month ( XXXX ) {$710.00} and was in the next month ( XXXX ) which could have been paid and a payment arrangement for XXXX could have been made. I was told they would not accept that because it was a partial payment, they do n't accept partial payments. Instead it was in modification until XXXX at which point I could not afford the {$6700.00} past due amount.

Consumer complaint: During XXXX period of unemployment I was kicked out of a pmt plan to try to catch up because I did n't submit XXXX pmt on the XXXX.That cancellation consequence was n't disclosed to me. Wells Fargo told me I could apply for a modification in XXXX. I submitted my application and I had n't gotten much help from my agent. I submitted EVERYTHING that was required of me. They said that I was denied approval due to afforability and because I had already gotten a modification in XX/XX/XXXX. It was actually XXXX that I had gotten my modification. I appealed their decision with an updated decrease in income because I had a non-borrower contributor lose his job ; my husband. Also, I had a slight increase in expenses which does not allow for affordability. During the review process I was told that everything was on hold and to try and save my payments to pay at a later date. During the 7-month period I had another season of unemployment, birth of a child, and a XXXX for my child and for myself. These circumstances dipped into the savings i was able to retain. In XXXX they denied me and told me I was 8 mths behind and that i SHOULD have been paying all along. I had misinformation, inconsistent information, and had to speak to all different agents other than the XXXX assigned to me. I may have spoken to the agent assigned to my case XXXX or XXXX times. He never answered the phone. He never returned a call within 48 hours. I would get letters stating receipt of documentation usually. I would always have to call someone to find out what i needed next. Usually a lot of time had already elapsed be requests were n't made known ahead of time. They denied my appeal and now have me in a suspended forclosure status. I am waiting on a reinstatement quote letter that should have been ordered XXXX. I am still appealing their decision based on the 24-month modication rule i read upon and the affordability aspect.

Consumer complaint: My wife and I purchased carpets XXXX today financed through Wells Fargo on XXXX/XXXX/2014. On the anniversary of that date I was charged {$1500.00} at 27 % interest for one year of back dated interest on a loan that totaled {$5600.00}. At the time of sale it was never explained to me or my wife what the interest rates were or the stipulations on the 12 months no interest deal was. The salesman simply said interest would start after the 12 months. The salesmen spent a better part of XXXX hours showing us carpets he also filled out all the forums for us. While rushing us through the paper work he kept assuring us that this would be far less expensive than putting it on a credit card. As you can see with the documents provided they are all in his hand writing. At the end of the sale he gave me a small paper stating it was a receipt I needed to sign for. Again it was filled out by him. So I signed for it not realizing that it was not in fact a receipt but in actuality a credit agreement, that he filled out ahead of time. Looking at it I would never of agreed to such an unfair one sided agreement. The tactics used were predatory and took advantage of new homeowners that had no experience with such types of sales and loans. So as it stands now I paid {$2300.00} on a loan that 's principal has only gone down by {$630.00}. If it were explained to me honestly I would have either paid in full at the time of sale or put it on my credit card which is more than half the interest rate of the egregious 27 % given.

Consumer complaint: I have received 11 calls from Citi Bank on my cell phone asking me to call them. I call and I am asked my account number. I do not have an account with Citi Bank. I had several managers of Citibank research by the last 4 digits of my social security number and they find no records connecting me with Citibank. I have spoken with 4 different managers who said they would stop these calls. They continue. I have a high credit score, am a lawyer and I am stumped on how to stop this harrassment. Can you help me? They cal from XXXX and XXXX. I am directed to call them at XXXX, and then they ask me for my account number. Every day I tell them I do not have an account number.

Consumer complaint: I purchased a XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX at a monthly payment of {$500.00} due on the XXXX of each month. Due to a lay-off, I fell late with XXXX payment, but immediately brought the note current when I found another job about XXXX weeks later. As a result of being off for that length of time, I could no longer make the payments exactly on the due date, but make them every single month in full. The creditor MEI Finance/MEI Auto/Midpoint Auto ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TX XXXX ) has decided to consistently call me no less than XXXX - XXXX per day. They call my job, they call my relatives telling them they will repo my car if I do n't call them by a certain date and time, this is after I have requested they stop calling both my job, family, and friends, and to stop calling me more than once per day. 
Again, I make my payment in full every month, never going past XXXX days late, but because I can not pay exactly on the XXXX, and they have no " grace periods '' according to them, they begin with the daily/hourly incessant and constant phone harassment and threats, and I would like it to stop!

Consumer complaint: Bank of America once again is charging ridiculous fees. I spotted a XXXX fee charge stating is was over the limit withdrawal in my savings account. I called because I was not over drawn in my account. Bank of America rep informed me that the Federal Reserve Regulation D requires the bank to charge me if I make more than XXXX transfers from savings to checking. Upon checking Regulation D it states im allowed XXXX transfer transactions. I call Bank of America back and I 'm then told that they only allow XXXX then charge me XXXX for each transfer over XXXX. So which is it? Federal Gov. Says I 'm allowed XXXX, but Bank wants my money so they only allow XXXX.
