Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted my form to FedLoan Servicing for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I have made the required number of payments, and submitted the form correctly online. During a conversation with customer service, I was told that it can take months to process the paperwork, so I continued to wait. After still not seeing any movement on my account, I called back in XX/XX/XXXX, and was told that the entire program was on hold indefinitely during the pandemic, and that I should have received correspondence about this ( I did not, nor was I able to find any documentation online about this program " freeze '' ). I called back last week, and was told that although the program is up and running again, the paperwork I submitted was not processed correctly, and the form I had used was no longer in use, so I had to resubmit. Please note that the form was set to expire in XX/XX/XXXX, yet when I submitted in XX/XX/XXXX, the form the website said to use was the expired one. I asked to talk to a supervisor, who assured me that since it was an error on their part ( about the form being improperly processed, and just sitting there in the wrong " pile '' not being worked on ), they will allow me to use the same form. However, this week I received a letter stating that my application was being denied because more than 60 days has passed, and they need verification that I am still with an eligible employer. I am an XXXX XXXX single mom in the XXXX XXXX, we can't just up and quit our jobs. So now I am having to resubmit paperwork and wait even longer for resolution. None of this would have happened if they had properly processed my form the first time. I am extremely concerned, because after doing some research it seems like this company is doing everything in its power to make sure nobody can get their loans forgiven. It makes no sense for them to say that it takes months to process an application, and then turn around and say too much time has passed for them to make a decision, we have to resubmit the paperwork. When does it end?

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: TX
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
For several years, I have used Western Union ( WU ) to primarily provide regular financial assistance to my relatives in XXXX, and particularly, to my younger brother XXXX. 

In XXXX of this year, XXXX was diagnosed with a medical condition that required an urgent XXXX  XXXX. All payments were to be made directly to the clinic. 
- On XXXX I sent a transfer in the amount of {$1100.00}. The transfer was approved after someone from WU confirmed the transaction with me. 

- After that, I continued sending smaller amounts for XXXX after care needs using various care takers : 1 ) XX/XX/ ( {$200.00} ) 2 ) XXXX ( {$150.00} ) 3 ) XXXX  ( {$100.00} ) 4 ) XX/XX/ XXXX - ( {$100.00} ) Around XX/XX/21, XXXX XXXX got infected and required urgent attention. XXXX was to immediately return to the clinic. Unlike America, patients in XXXX will not receive any urgent care without paying the dues first. On XXXX, I filled a wire transfer in the requested amount of {$300.00} payable to the clinic same as I did on XXXX. This time around, an untrained, rude and insensitive WU representative, told me, after confirming the transaction with me, that it was declined due to fraud suspicion. 

I work in the financial industry as a risk manager, and part of my work includes assessing fraud risk. A suspicious transaction should be rightfully denied, if the account holder knows nothing about it and authorizes the transaction to be cancelled. However, once the transaction in question is validated by the account holder who has been thoroughly authenticated, there shouldnt be any reason to deny the transaction. If a financial institution still has any suspicion, it should fill out a Suspicious Activity Report ( SAR ) and send it to the feds, instead of inconveniencing a customer and causing irreparable damages. Additionally, I own several accounts with several financial institutions and have never been denied a transaction, after its validity has been verified and confirmed with me. 

The manner in which an untrained, incompetent and irresponsible WU representative questioned me, especially that I had already transacted a similar transaction on XX/XX/, and declined the transaction on XXXX, even after I was fully authenticated, validated the authenticity of the transaction and made several attempts to stress the urgency of the wire, caused a delay in treating my brother XXXX who succumbed of his XXXX and XXXX on XXXX 

Western Unions irresponsible, and incompetent handling of fraud risk has caused irreparable damages to my family. My brother XXXX, to whom I sent money via WU for several years, couldnt get his last medical treatment because of WU.

Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/2023 I had made a deposit in the form of a cashiers check into my checking account with Chase Bank in the amount of XXXX, the cashiers check was made out to an estate and not myself. Due to geographical issues it was just easier for me to make the deposit into my personal checking account, as the funds were being given to me anyways. Prior to makeing the deposit I had asked the teller weather or not it would be acceptable to just sign the check over to myself and deposit it into my account ( as I had the authority to do so being the executor of the estate ). The teller and branch manager had assured me that there would be no problem because I could prove that I had dominion over the funds and that they belonged to me. After making the deposit I had learned the next morning that my account had been put on a restriction and is now in the process of being closed due to suspicious activity. They will not release the funds to me and keep sending me on pointleess tasks.
