Sub-issue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX FEDLOAN added a total of {$650.00} in " UNPAID INTEREST '' to my DIRECT SUB CONSOLIDATION LOAN ( {$350.00} ) and my DIRECT UNSUB CONSOLIDATION LOAN ( {$300.00} ). 


The above Federal Loans are under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pause that is in effect until XX/XX/XXXX and are mandated to not be accruing interest. 

FEDLOAN states they have no knowledge " why '' the interest is added to my account. They can not provide a reason or accounting for adding {$650.00} to my account.

I consolidated to FEDLOAN on XX/XX/XXXX per the XXXX waiver after paying my loans for almost 30 years total. I was hopeful that after decades and decades of mishandling my loans the XXXX waiver would be the end to my 30 year nightmare of paying for college. Now, it's a new scam - No PSLF and a bigger balance than I started with pre-COVID pause. 

Please help me. I have attached the FEDLOAN Consolidation Letter dated and my account from yesterday showing the {$650.00} " unpaid interest '' added to my balance. 

Thank you

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have sent more than 20 emails to PayPal, but no one has ever given me a reasonable explanation, which is why I am appealing to CFPB for help.

( Please see Annex 1 ) But the currency conversion rate of the day I contacted my issuer was XXXX, so it should be XXXX CNY. So PayPal charged an additional me CNY XXXX, which is equivalent to USD XXXX. 
In the process of communication with PayPal customer service personnel, customer service representative XXXX XXXX informed that the reason was that PayPal would charge an additional 2.5 % currency conversion fee, which would be XXXX % = $ XXXXThis obviously is not true because it is inconsistent with the actual amount collected which was USD XXXX. ( Please see Annex 2. ) Another customer service rep, XXXX, said in the payment interface there would be an option to choose PayPal currency conversion rate or issuer currency conversion rate ( Please see Annex 3. ) But this option wasnt available ( Please see Annex 4. ) A PayPal representation, XXXX, explained that if you didn't manually change the exchange rate selection, PayPal would automatically choose its own exchange rate ( Currency conversion rate of XXXX ) .Because the exchange rate selection option wasnt available PayPal forces the customer to choose PayPal exchange rate instead of the customer 's own manual exchange rate ( Currency conversion rate  of XXXX ) choice.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem with your payment plan

Complaint:
I applied for SAVE on XXXX through StudentLoans.gov for my servicer, Nelnet. ( My loans were formerly serviced by Great Lakes. ) The payment plan was not applied, so I used Nelnet 's online form to request assistance. I received an automated reply on XXXX that I would not be receiving a reply. I tried calling, but was not connected after hours of waiting. I applied again through StudentLoans.gov for the SAVE IDR plan on XXXX After reading online that many people needed to upload their tax return to Nelnet 's documents portal, I proactively uploaded my most recent return. My account was put into " administrative forbearance '' and continues to accrue interest. I have been asked three times to make a {$5.00} payment to finish enrollment in the plan, and have made the payment twice. Doubtful that making the payment a third time is going to do anything, I tried to call, got disconnected, have sent another submission through the online form, and am now creating this complaint. Nelnet 's inability to properly and promptly process the SAVE IDR requests is resulting in financial harm to me as interest accrues. The lack of accessible customer service is salt in the wound.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding a highly distressing and unfair experience I recently had with their services. On XX/XX/2023, I visited the Bank of America XXXX to deposit a check, and the teller assured me that the funds would be available within XXXX business days. However, despite receiving a receipt and stamp confirming the deposit, Bank of America held my check for over XXXX weeks, causing severe financial hardship to my small business. 

Upon contacting the bank to resolve the issue, I was advised to file a dispute, and they promised that someone would reach out within XXXX hours. To my dismay, no one contacted me during that time. When I called again to inquire about the status, I was told that there was no claim or record of my previous dispute. I reluctantly initiated a new claim, but the result was no different no progress, and no communication. 

This prolonged delay and lack of transparency have had a devastating impact on my business. I have lost {$7500.00}, which is crucial for my business operations. Due to this situation, I was unable to pay for essential utilities, and as a result, my business suffered further consequences, including a temporary loss of electricity. 

Despite repeated attempts to resolve the matter, Bank of America has been unhelpful and has not taken adequate steps to rectify their error. Their constant redirection and failure to provide any concrete resolution have left me feeling utterly helpless and frustrated. 

I urgently request the CFPB 's intervention in this matter. I seek full access to my funds without any further delay. Moreover, I believe that Bank of America should be held accountable for their negligence and the resulting hardship they have caused my small business. 

I trust that the CFPB will thoroughly investigate this issue and take necessary actions to ensure that Bank of America addresses my concerns promptly and appropriately. Your timely assistance and support in resolving this matter are of utmost importance to me and my business. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
