Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Was approved for a loan, but didn't receive the money

Complaint:
I applied for a payday loan online. I had to provide my personal information, including my bank routing and account number. Then, I was approved for {$250.00} and given the terms of the loan. 

I was then prompted to enter my bank login credentials. I hesitated due to privacy reasons. Then, I reasoned that my credit had been pulled and I was approved, so I may as well continue. After entering my bank login credentials, another screen popped up and stated that my application was denied. 

I immediately became concern that this was a scam. I proceeded to change my password with my banking institution. I then called Check N Go 's 800 number. I spoke with XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX informed me that he did not see my application online. He also said that the company doesn't work with certain banks. I asked for the legal department and he transferred me to a supervisor ( XXXX ). 

XXXX informed me that it was policy for customers to be verified that way. However, when I read the disclaimers online, there was no mention of this type of verification. I would have rather uploaded a bank statement. Also, I would not have proceeded with the transaction. I feel this was misleading and fraudulent. 

Finally, I received an alert from my credit monitoring system showing that there was a new inquiry from 'Checkngo/XXXX. '' This conflicted with the statement made by XXXX.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing acquired my XXXX XXXX. I had never missed a payment to XXXX or any previous mortgage lenders. Shellpoint simply informed me by email of the acquisition, giving me no mortgage acct number. I tried repeatedly to phone them and was held on hold for 45-65 minutes, then the connection was always dropped. I also tried their website and only received a flashing " Can not Process '' when I attempted to pay XX/XX/XXXX mortgage. I then went online to my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX and set up a Payment Payee for Shellpoint. The bank requires an account number for setting up a Payee. I had to fabricate one to get past their set-up procedure. I chose XXXX as a pseudo account number since I wasn't successful getting one from Shellpoint. I then paid XX/XX/XXXX mortgage thru my bank and then in XX/XX/XXXX I paid XX/XX/XXXX mortgage. I have banking records showing both payments to Shellpoint acct XXXX. In XXXX, I finally received an acct number by email, XXXX and called and paid the mortgage to that account. Much to my chagrin they informed me that I was in arrears for XX/XX/XXXX. and XX/XX/XXXX. and they had no record of acct XXXX. They would not help me except thru their online complaint processing. I submitted a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX and they have not helped me, implying it is a technical problem on my computer. I have no problems with any of my other more than 25 payees.

They have contacted my credit score companies, XXXX, etc. and my credit score has dropped drastically. This is devastating. I have attached my banking records

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I deferred my student loans ( 7+ Different loans ) after graduating with XXXX in XX/XX/2013 from XXXX XXXX Univeristy. It was my understanding and I was told by the university that loans would be deferred 12 months. However, I was billed at the 6 month mark and billing invoices never made it to my address. They were sent to the wrong address. Therefore, at the 12 month mark when I contacted Nelnet ( student Loan company ) to pay my first payment and set-up a plan, all my accounts were 6 months late. 

This has stayed on my credit report ( 7 severely delinquent accounts ) For the last 5 years and has significant impact on my credit score.

Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
I have had a Pay Pal Line Of Credit account for a number of years, and my account has always been in good standing. I received a notice in the mail that my account is being transferred, and my interest rate is also increasing. My account is currently with XXXX XXXX, and it is being transferred to XXXX XXXX effective XX/XX/XXXX. The notice gave no explanation for the change. It just gives the new terms and conditions, but no reason given as to why my account is being transferred. Yesterday I talked with a rep from Pay Pal Credit, and this is what he told me. Pay Pal is changing banks to make it more fair for everyone by using the Global Market Interest Rate. I said I had my account for a number of years, and in good standing, and you are increasing my interest rate. This is not fair. He said sorry you feel this way about us wanting to make it fair for everyone. What's fair about increasing my interest rate. It's not fair. My current rate is 19.9 % and it is increasing to 25.49 %. 
I recently paid off 3 of my accounts that were associated with XXXX XXXX  totaling over 9 grand, and I still have 2 accounts to go, but now I am going to have 3. As a matter of fact I filed a complaint with the XXXX against XXXX XXXX in XXXX. After paying off my XXXX account and closing it someone took an unauthorized payment of almost {$200.00} from my checking account. Because of the lame excuse I got from the bank made me believe that someone tried to steal from me, and I reported it. I know I can pay off my balance of {$1500.00} to avoid the higher interest, but I am unable to after paying off the 3 accounts that I just paid off. XXXX XXXX 's interest rates are very high, and when you pay off and close an account they get kind of angry, and act like you can't close your account. 
What makes me so angry not so much as transferring my account ( in this case it does because of the bank it is being transferred to ), but because of my interest rate going up. I just feel this is so unfair for those of us who's accounts are in good standing.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
In response to my compliant number XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX re : not being able to access my accounts online with CapitalOne without first submitting my income, the matter was resolved ( thank you ) by CapitalOne advising that typing XXXX would circumvent the need to include my income. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from CapitalOne advising that because I was not " ..using a significant portion of the Credit line on your account,,, '', they were reducing my credit line in 1/2 to @ {$10000.00}. 

I 've had this credit card since XX/XX/XXXX and I have a checking, and savings account. They never tried to lower my credit limit prior to their XX/XX/XXXX letter. It just seems like more than just a coincidence that after my compliant, my credit availability was reduced but never before. 

I believe, as a result, my credit score ( as reported on CapitalOne 's credit monitoring service ) has decreased from XXXX to XXXX. The reasons given was a decrease in my credit use availability. The 50 % decrease in credit availability would cause the % 's to increase. Less credit available with same credit usage would result in a higher credit usage percentage. 

BTW, I pay my balance each month in full. 

All i am asking is to increase my credit limit to what it was before my complaint to the CFPB. I believe what Capital One is trying to backdoor the resolution by CPFB - when I ask my credit to be increased, they 'll require my salary be disclosed. 

Thank you.

Complaint:
I am part of the Navient Lawsuit in Massachusetts. I recently was given notice in the mail about the lawsuit. I have some information that I never was able to discuss with anyone. I had called Navient in 2017 for enrollment into a IDR payment plan. They ignored my requests until I threatened that I would speak to a lawyer. They then approved my request, but then reenrolled me into a forbearance a few months later ( In-between they said my " deferment request was also approved '' ). The updates online were not consistent with the IDR that I was " approved '' for. They also called me over and over again for debt collection even though I was approved for the IDR plan. I have attached screenshots of emails that I have from Navient. I just wanted to file a formal complaint. Thank you.

Complaint:
An erroneous electric payment in the amount of {$3600.00} was made in XXXX to my Citi Master Card from my XXXX bank account. I did not authorize this payment and notified the credit card company of the error. I explained that this error had created a dire situation for me by causing my bank account to be overdrawn and incur overdraft fees and that I was also unable to withdraw any cash. On XXXX XXXX, I was assured via a telephone conversation with a Citi representative that the funds would be returned to my bank account on an expedited basis. To date, those funds have not been returned and Citi is unable to advise me of a date on which the funds will be returned. I was advised that it was not possible for me to speak with anyone who had the authority to actually expedite this matter or even advise me as to when the funds would be returned to my account. 
To be clear, Citi was never entitled to this money and has no right to hold my funds for weeks on some pretense of performing some sort of investigation. 
Thank you for your attention. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Refer to case # XXXX. Update : at my request due to distrust with Discover ( 30 year customer ) it has been found the issue was with them never changing the address and have notations as I do with all accounts showing address change request etc. After many months and hours and a file over an inch thick, XXXX XXXX XXXX has ask me to send him the information showing the address change exercise ... ..with so many hours in and conversations I first was not going to waste my time but have decided to do that and will before year end. Account has been closed at my request and notified all the credit reporting agencies, but ... ... my FICA score was never changed back and apparently from what I have been told, can never be changed even if it was not my fault! Now I am wondering with what has been discussed with the CFPB they protect the company, not really the consumer based on information recently discussed on TV from the 2008 leadership? I will also tell you this whole issue ( so XXXX looking back ) was presented and will continue to be presented to consumers and have been told a few have already contacted Discover telling them they will no longer use their accounts. This whole issue has been so disturbing and has awakened so many people ... ... ... a 30 day late payment in 30 years was given to credit reporting agencies when in fact that issue was Discover 's problem being they never changed the address! Consumer suffers. That is wrong, someone is protecting someone!
