Complaint:
Ive reached out countless times about this and STILL you have incorrect names, addresses, etc. after Ive provided you with my drivers license, SSN card and a letter for the police department advising I had been a victim of identity theft! Ive provided you with that information so that you could update your records/accounts accordingly and STILL you have failed to do that instead in my previous complaint, you left a generic response about talking directly to me when you have made it impossible for me to even contact you about my own account!!!!!! 

When you receive a complaint from the CFPB you are speaking directly to me! I cant speak to you, but youve managed to place a fraud block and freeze on my account that I HAVE NOT requested. Ive previously asked that you lift any blocks and freezes from my account and not add anything I have NOT asked you for ... instead you do exactly what I said NOT to do! 

Because Ive documented this issue many times over and have given you ample opportunity to correct this and you have failed to do so, please respond with the information for your resident agent in my state, as I will be moving forward with a lawsuit against you for your incorrect credit reporting and inability to make corrections in a timely manner. I will be seeking damages for your incorrect credit reporting and your refusal to correct this and the negative impact it has had on me and my credit as a result. 

Again, please respond to this complaint with information for your resident agent in the state of Virginia so that they can be properly served for any forthcoming court proceedings.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Can't qualify for a loan

Complaint:
Today, I applied as a co-signer for my daughters Sallie Mae Student Loan. I am XXXX and there fore my source of income comes from XXXX. The application was denied based on fraud. They made false claims against me in regards to my credit worthiness. I was also told by a supervisor that they do not base approval on the fico score. I was told credit scores have nothing to do with their decision making. But, in the denial they told me my credit score is adverse. I am accused of having delinquent accounts. And I am also told too few accounts get paid as agreed. These are lies. I feel like they just did not like the fact that my source of income comes from XXXX. Why would they have to lie about my credit report? The only reason would be if they had another reason as to why they wanted to deny me. And they could not find anything negative enough on my report to HONESTLY deny the loan. So, they MADE UP LIES. I bet there are many borrowers that receive employment income with a whole lot worse credit then myself that they have approved for loans. My daughter is devastated. She needed the loan to complete her schooling. I was also told that they only go by credit worthiness of showing ability to pay. I do n't have negative collections showing up on my report. How many other loans get approved for those who income is from XXXX? Probably none. After what they did to me today. I would not doubt that at all. Can anything be done about it?

I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements.

Complaint:
E*Trade Bank Issue - Complaint - I have both banking and brokerage accounts with E*Trade Bank and there is no way to get in touch with them for a Customer Service issue. They do not staff the customer service numbers with automated or live persons. 

The issue- My account has been restricted because of suspicious activity, which is helpful to protect my account, despite the fact I initiated and authorized the XXXX XXXX transfer from my banking account. I received messages that I have to call them to discuss the issue and un-restrict my accounts and I can not get a person to answer the customer service phone numbers. I've tried every number available from my cell and land lines. I've been on hold for over 7 hours over the course of two days. There is no live chat available, despite it being offered as a link, no we'll call you back option, and no email address available to contact them.

How can this be when banking access and brokerage access is critical to modern life. I would like to close my five accounts due to this horrible non-responsive non-existent customer service but I am unable to reach a person for access to my funds and accounts. 

All the while E*Trade is completing a merger and providing egregious bonuses to their Corporate level executives. Please help? Thanks.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
I got a few XXXX credit card mail offers from Citibank in XXXX. I applied for and was approved for those credit card promotions ( 3 personal account ands 1 business account ) in the time ranging from XXXX to XXXX in XXXX. I fulfilled the spending requirements of these promotion offers and Citi awarded me those miles ( ~XXXX XXXX ).  However, on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX forfeited those miles together with my other accrued miles since XXXX ( total XXXX miles ) and terminated my account citing the miles were obtained fraudulently via multiple XXXX credit cards. But it was Citi sending me those mail offers, and it vetted and approved my application. All of this implies that Citi is the one behind this unfair, unreasonable confiscation. It seems to me this is a deceptive bait and switch. With my XXXX  account closed, Citi now still charges me {$99.00} membership fee per XXXX  credit card account, however, I can't get any benefits or accumulate any miles in spending for the paid membership fee.

Complaint:
We submitted documentation in an attempt to have our mortgage modified so that we could pull out of the Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy that we are currently in. We have made XXXX regular mortgage payments to the lender as well as XXXX payment to the Bankruptcy Trustee since entering Bankruptcy, and we 're trying to have the mortgage modified. We 've sent all of the financial documentation they 've requested and each time we submit paperwork we 're being told something is missing. We 've made several calls to the company to find out who is working on our request so that we can fax what they 're requesting and then follow up the fax with a phone call, but they refuse to provide us the full name of the person supposedly working on the request, and they refuse to give out that person 's direct extension phone number as well. They will only provide a first name of who is supposedly reviewing our paperwork and a fax number. Then when I request to speak with a supervisor they refuse to provide the supervisor 's name or extension they only transfer you to a voicemail. I do n't feel they are acting in good faith on our request and are engaging in fraudulent lending practices.
