Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with paying off the loan

Complaint:
We paid off our loan on XX/XX/XXXX. Our final payment was over in the amount of {$2900.00}. 
We were told funds would be released after ten days. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, we had not received the refund of funds so called to check on refund. We learned they had been sent to our physical address where we do not receive postal service mail. We were told a new check would be issued and sent to our P.O. Box. 
We called on XX/XX/XXXX to check on status of check, as it had not yet been received. We were told ( by customer service rep XXXX ) that a check had been mailed to our P.O. Box on XX/XX/XXXX, and we should continue to wait to receive it. 
We called back on XX/XX/XXXX to check status, and were told by supervisor XXXX that a check had been mailed on XX/XX/XXXX to our physical address, and they saw no evidence of any other checks having been sent. XXXX issued a case number, and said a new check would be overnighted for receipt by XX/XX/XXXX.

On XX/XX/XXXX when check was not received, we called and spoke with manager XXXX who said that a check had been sent, but in no way expedited, and we should wait 7-10 business days to receive that check. 
The banks phone system called us back about 30 minutes later, so we ended up speaking with customer service rep XXXX, who told us a check had been mailed to our P.O. Box on XX/XX/XXXX. When we asked her about the XX/XX/XXXX check she transferred us to supervisor XXXX. XXXX iterated that a check had been sent on XX/XX/XXXX, was not able to be expedited, so we should wait 7-10 business days for that check to arrive. 
At every turn, received different and conflicting information from each representative at 5/3 Bank, and were repeatedly asked to just keep waiting to receive the refund of our money. At no point were they willing or able to provide a more constructive or traceable solution to these many checks supposedly sent, but never received by us. In the mean time they have been in possession of nearly {$3000.00} of our money for a month, they the holidays and the turn of a new fiscal year.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit repair services
Issue: Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing

Complaint:
My husband and I signed up with Freedom Debt Relief in 2014 after speaking with one of their representatives at length. What they offered us was a chance to increase our credit score while getting some debt relief. They would negotiate on our behalf. They presented themselves as credit experts and assured us we would have a favorable outcome. At the time, we were struggling but making our payments on-time. After agreeing to their program, we started making monthly payments to them. We did what they asked and it completely ruined our credit. This has affected our lives greatly in so many ways. I think about it often. I recently started researching how to sue them and CFPB came up. We would like to be compensated in some way to at least dig ourselves back out of this hole. Losing our credit is worst than having money taken from us. We can never get that back. The hope is that this will not happen to anyone else. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX

This was difficult info to get from the reps who spoke poor English. 
It took approx. 3 hours to get these cards all authorized. I decided to spend them at XXXX where I'd gotten cards before. NONE OF THEM WORKED!

Complaint:
XXXX separate instances somebody ( not me ) applied for credit with XXXX different banks ( XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022 and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022 ). 
I called XXXX and spent a long time explaining this to them. Its identity theft. They said they can note the account and do an investigation. Plus I put a freeze on my account after begging for that opportunity. Amazing. 
So.. i get a letter today saying after their investigation that the investigation has not resolved my dispute and instead the information has been updated NOT deleted. 
I called and they said there is nothing more they can do. 
This is just wrong. Somebody somewhere has my soc security number and is trying time again to open credit in my name. This type of stuff is all over the news and XXXX knows this. And they arent doing anything to help. 
I need these inquiries removed from my credit report. Ive worked very hard to have good credit. And credit agencies like them dont care! I need this complaint filed. Because if I end up being an actual victim and somebody ruined my credit.. I will sue XXXX and XXXX. They too have been unhelpful.
