Consumer complaint received 2021-12-05
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
For the last few years I have had a credit card for the XXXX XXXX  retail store, administered by Comenity Bank. Unlike all of my other credit cards, Comenity did not offer an autopay feature on this card that would allow me to schedule to pay the full balance on the due date every month. This is how I schedule all of my recurring payments, from my mortgage to my credit cards to utilities. I asked Comenity why they did not offer this service and they could not provide a satisfactory answer. This should not be a difficult feature for a large financial services company to administer, and my understanding is that they offer the service on other retail cards that they service. 

While it may not be illegal, failing to offer autopay is in my opinion to make it more difficult for consumers to pay their account on time. It is not a consumer-friendly practice. As a result, I paid my account balance of {$68.00} XXXX XXXX late on XX/XX/2021 was assessed a {$35.00} late fee and a {$1.00} finance charge. So essentially I was charged 51 % of what was the underlying account balance. 

I closed the card account after that because I felt that I would continue to be charged late fees in the absence of an autopay feature. I moved to dispute the late fees, but the account has continued to accrue late fees on top of the original late in every subsequent month, despite the fact that the account is closed and the underlying retail balance of the card has been paid off. While the cardmember agreement seems to permit this, I do not think it this practice is ethical or decent as my account is accruing late fees that are not attributable to funds that were actually borrowed from Comenity. They are just stacking late fees on top of late fees, and these fees continue to accrure even as I dispute the charges. On XXXX I submitted a {$36.00} payment to cover the original late fee and finance charge because I acknowledged that my paayment was late, albeit by only XXXX days. I asked them to close out the account and cancel any subsequent fees, but they refused. 

My understanding is that very recently Comenity has finally started to offer an autopay feature on this account. But this came only after years of refusing to offer the feature and inquiries on my part as to why it was not offered. It's my contention that XXXX XXXX and Comenity collectively decided not to offer autopay for many years as a way of increasing revenue in the form of late fees and finance charges to the detriment of consumers like me who no intention of carrying an account balance. Again, this may be permissible under their cardmember agreement, but I think that their collective actions constitute predatory lending practices and there should be regulations in place that require lenders that administer revolving credit to offer an autopay feature to borrowers

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 have a student loan that I have been paying on for almost 8 years now, and I am looking to get them forgiven in year 10 with the public student loan forgiveness program. To initiate this process, you submit a form and the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, sends you a status on how many payments of the 120 required for the forgiveness I have completed. When I received my notice, it stated that only 15 of my 70-80 or so payments have qualified, basically disqualifying me from the program as I will have paid my loans off before I reach 120 payments. I have my loans split, and one that I have been paying on for 8 years says that only 5 of my payments have qualified, noone I have talked to on the phone can explain why and state it is easy to see I have made all my full ontime payments since I have opened my account. 

This information is incorrect, I have paid my full amount due each month and in the right repayment plan. I requested an audit of my payments and account on XX/XX/XXXX. Over the past 11 months, I have received no information on where I stand with the review of my account. I have called approximately 6 times to inquire and each time no information or updates have been provided, and have been told to continue to " be patient ''. All the while, requests for my income and increases to my monthly payments are handled and implemented in less than a week. The company is quick to resolve matters that favor them, but has done 0 to assist me. 

I have recently sent in emails to the company, 3 have been acknowledged as received in their system, but no responses, and a phone call today XX/XX/XXXX also ended in a " continue to be patient '' response. 

I am now requesting help in resolving this as the company is taking 0 action to help me and I have no where else to turn. I would like to have my audit completed to know where I stand with my loan, or if there is still an error, find out what I can do to rectify the problem. Please help

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CO
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I received a check on XX/XX/21 deposited the check on XX/XX/21 via the Chase ATM located in XXXX, Colorado off of XXXX and XXXX. The ATM receipt stated there would be a seven day hold on the check which is concerning because Chase has now held four checks that I have deposited for absolutely no reason stating that due to my relationship with the bank yet they refuse to tell me what has caused the hold and why theyve been so long. Along with why they can not release any parts of the funds. I spoke with the branch manager XXXX on XX/XX/21 and he assured me my funds would be available today after midnight XX/XX/21 and I should check my account at XXXX EST. I went to sleep my account had {$48.00} available. This morning when I checked my account is now in the negatives {$14.00} and XXXX tells me that I have poor money management that resulted in my account being overdrawn which should not have happened as the funds should be available. Due to the rapid transmission of coronavirus I did not feel comfortable going into the bank unless I have a true issue which is why I use the ATM to limit the amount of exposure. XXXX then proceeds to tell me I should have come into the branch to cash the check when I have not had great experiences trying to cash checks in the past with Chase and have been forced to deposit them and wait seven days up to 14 depending on how Chase feels about releasing my funds. My husband was able to call in and get the hold released off of an {$11000.00} check that had nearly a two week hold. I deposited a VA check and there was a three day hold which VA checks are guaranteed funds and should be available same day! Chase has a habit of holding my checks for no specific reason and can not provide detailed information as to why the continue to keep holding my funds. Theyre now saying my funds will not be available until XX/XX/21 which is unacceptable. When I called the Chase customer service number on XX/XX/21 they stated multiple times there was no hold on the check yet the funds were not available. They then transferring me to a check verification queue which I held for over two hours twice and still no conclusion as to when my funds will become available. Chase is being very discriminatory with the holds they have egregiously placed on the checks I have cashed with their bank well over the last 90 days.
