Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
Synchrony XXXX XXXX Credit Card. Was told of a promotional period, but was never visible as to what I had to pay within the Summary of Account History fully showing what is needed to pay, with the due date, as this is given on every statement. Then, I was charged an additional {$600.00}. Its like borrowing money from a loan shark! I almost had this bill paid off. How is this legal and allowed to happen? I thought the deferred interest was a reminder of the amount that I saved, not what I may have to pay. The additional {$600.00} was never in the Summary of Account History section of the bill, and never shown this interest amount due each month. Not fair. {$600.00} more, for not fully having the deferred interest in an obvious placement within the Summary section. I am a loyal customer. I should not have to pay the extra {$600.00}!!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I filed the following complaint on-line with the Office of the Comptroller which acknowledged receipt, assigned a case number ( XXXX ) and then mailed me a letter, dated XX/XX/XXXX, saying our case would be under the jurisdiction of the CFPB. They were " forwarding '' it. I now am told you have no record of this. Thus, I am resubmitting on your form the exact information I sent them : In late XX/XX/XXXX, we began the process of getting information on reverting our current line of credit 2nd mortgage back to interest-only. Our experience at our local Bank of America branch was alarming -- with extremely incompetent help. We contacted XXXX XXXX, Wealth management Retail Sales Manager and Sales Manager, as his name and phone number were on the documents we received. He apologized and asked us to " start over, '' that he would handle it personally. He came to our house on XX/XX/XXXX. After giving us information we all agreed that the best choice was just as we wanted ... to go back to an interest only home equity line of credit. My notes show he said we could have an interest-only home equity loan as long as we kept it for 3 years. He initiated the process. It took Bank of America until late XX/XX/XXXXto finally get the loan processed even though we have a checking account, first mortgage and the 2nd mortgage with them. Suffice it to say we have gotten numerous alarming and confusing mailings and phone calls asking for information, only to be followed with someone telling us the information requested is not really needed. Late XX/XX/XXXXwe got a call to schedule settlement. Details such as final interest rate were shared, including our payments. These were P + I payments. I explained that we were getting an interest only loan. I was told by the caller, XXXX XXXX of the closing department, that Bank of America dpes NOT even offer an interest-only loan any longer! We were shocked and dismayed. We feel this is an obvious bait and switch, with us investing time and energy in a process only to find they never were giving us what was promised. We are extremely concerned with this level of deception and want it investigated in the hopes of preventing other consumers from experiencing the same.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: WA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
This complaint is for recent activity on XXXX of my credit accounts with U.S. Bank, that I think the bank treated unfair and caused serious damage to my credit report.

It is concerning the credit card ending in XXXX that I had since XXXX and I believe was in good standing. From the opening in XXXX this card had no annual fees, and I believe I was not informed of any changes to the terms. The card had {$17000.00} credit limit and had XXXX balance for several months. 

In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Bank imposed {$25.00} annual fee. It went below my radar, for the account was not in use and thus not routinely monitored. I believe I did not receive any notices in the mail, while paperless notices were inaccessible online. U.S. Bank was prompt to report the serious delinquency to credit bureaus and cut the available balance from {$17000.00} to {$500.00}. 

This caused significant reduction of my available credit, increase of % % of credit used, as well as delinquent status on my credit report. Now US Bank uses the drop in credit score to impose further rate increase on my other accounts and further limiting my available credit. I feel I have been treated unfairly and disproportionally punished. 

As soon as I had found out of the missed payment, I immediately paid off the outstanding balance even though I didnt understand the reason I was charged annual fees. I have contacted US Bank in writing and did not receive a response. I request US Bank to remove delinquency record from my report, and restore the card limit to XXXX XXXX amount.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I called MOHELA on XX/XX/2023 to correct my student loan repayment amount, as I had received multiple bills in the mail that showed DOUBLE the amount calculated by Studentaid.gov. After waiting on hold for THREE HOURS, I finally reached a representative. She agreed to put my loans in processing forbearance, but when I asked for email confirmation she put me on hold. The call was then DROPPED, and I was left with no evidence that the forbearance was given. 

MOHELA is a shameful excuse for a company.

Complaint:
I fell ill which resulted in me falling behind on my car payments and as a result my car was repossess and sold at auction. The problem comes in that I was never given a proper deficiency notice which is required by NC state law nor was I given the time nor location of where the auction was taken place which is also against NC state law. Being that I was unable attend the auction due to not being provided with the time nor location of the auction nor receive an appropriate deficiency balance there isn't anyway for me to verify the debt. 
The company XXXX XXXX XXXX did put a remaining amount owed on my credit report starting back on XXXX XXXX but the balance has changed several times. I have tried to reach out to the company through phone to no avail and they do not have an email address for me to message them about the issue. I have raise a complaint with both XXXX and XXXX on the matter which both companies conducted a 30 day investigation and found that my statements were accurate. Even within those 30 days still didn't hear anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Thought unfortunately there are still discrepancies across all three of my Credit Reports with this company. XXXX is still showing the balance XXXX claims I owe which is {$6500.00}, while Equifax shows same balance but not the total amount. Also there are discrepancies with amongst the credit reports with last payments receive.
