Sub-product: Virtual currency
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On Sunday, XX/XX/2021, My family unfortunately fell victim to a scam. We found this puppy website online and thought we are getting a puppy but this was all a lie. These people do not have any puppies and used a fake address. The individual tricked us into paying him the full amount in Venmo for {$860.00}. When I tried to contact Venmo, theres no customer support available as its a Sunday. I had to refer to the apps dispute instructions. The app instructed me to first request money back from the same sender if I would like to get the money back. So I click the one button that says request / pay I put in the same amount {$860.00} I wanted a refund of. 2 buttons right next to each other appeared Request and pay - I accidentally hit pay ( theres no separation on this button, if you have big fingers or just blinked for a microsecond you can easily miss ). And just like that, I paid this individual TWICE! Theres not even a confirmation or review step to make sure. I reached out to venmo multiple times and of course my case was declined. I understand that the user agreement with Venmo should be between people you know, and I understand being out of the money for the first payment I did, but the second payment that is made by mistake because of their apps design flaw, they should be held accountable for that. Even with friends and family, not everyone will return your money if you accidentally paid them. It was such a simple fix and highly preventable ( separate the buttons, have different tabs for requesting and paying, or even have an extra review step ). I have taken all the necessary steps I need including reporting to my local law enforcement agency, filing a police report, and reporting to the CFPB. Venmo should as well, because with the way things are, they are aiding and abetting scammers and dishonest people.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I am repaying a private student loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. My payments are sent via an automated paper check sent out by my credit union through their online bill pay service. The payment due date is the XXXX of each month. The money does not get deducted from my checking account until the check is actually presented for payment and cleared through the ACH, just like any other paper check. 

When I looked at my payment history on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  website last week, I was startled to see that my XX/XX/XXXX payment was marked as processed on XX/XX/XXXX. I checked my bank account record and saw the check had cleared on XX/XX/XXXX. I looked at the other payments shown on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website and saw another discrepancy. My payment due onXX/XX/XXXX was marked as processed on XX/XX/XXXX. Again, this payment shows on my bank information as clearing on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask about why the processing was not reflecting the actual date these two checks had cleared. They claimed that because I was having these checks sent by my credit union 's bill payment service, the credit union was taking the money out of my checking account at the same time the check was sent, not when XXXX was getting the actual payment. This is false. First, the paper check is being sent by the bill pay service prior to the XXXX of the month - it is sent in advance in order to arrive timely, i.e. BY the XXXX, not ON the XXXX. Second, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website shows that my payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX were all processed on the XXXX of the month, which would be impossible if the check were just being sent out on that date. Third, I pointed out that my XX/XX/XXXX payment was processed by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, according to their own records, which, if XXXX 's position were correct, would be two days before that check had even been mailed. 

I asked to have the extra interest charges refunded. It is not a large amount, but it is my money, not theirs. If they did n't want to do that, I offered to accept a lump sum credit of {$5.00} for each month that my payment was n't posted correctly, a total of {$10.00}. They refused both of my offers. 

The thing that really bothers me about this is that most people would not notice or understand the significance of the late posting. If every student loan borrower being serviced by this company is having their payments credited late twice a year, like I was, this company is cheating its borrowers by overcharging on the interest on those loans. This is fraud and it needs to be stopped. God knows how much money this could all add up to.

Complaint:
After reviewing my credit report I noticed two inaccurate inquiries on there being reported by Tower Loan in which I have disputed them and put a fraud alert on my account as well with the creditors and the credit bureau is still reporting these not proven compliant inquiry deficient of true permissible purpose that REQUIRES immediate and permanent deletion, on my credit report. The last two letters I sent certified with tracking numbers in which Tower Loan did not respond back until after my third certified by mail letter. My complaint is towards these unauthorized and or possibly fraudulent, certainly unproven to be compliant with mandated proof of permissible purpose allegations of credit inquiries by Original Creditors on my credit reports. Regarding the following inquiries < Tower Loan from XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX > I have disputed these unauthorized inquires for several months with no help from Tower Loan. I have repeatedly asked for any type of detailed documentation of an original signed contract or proof of signature on order and still have not received any from this company. I have NEVER applied for credit online or in the store with this company. I called and spoke with a supervisor who stated that these two inquiries were not authorized by me at all but they needed an update address for a bill. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE Tower Loan to pull my credit not once but twice they pulled it to find my address??? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! no reason to pull a HARD inquiry on my credit report without my authorization! Tower Loan's credit department also informed me that both inquiries will be dropping off my credit report in just a few months, they didn't see what the big deal was??? REALLY??? These people were RUDE and very inaccurate on their information that was given to me. I am demanding that both of these unauthorized inquiries be deleted from my credit file immediately!
