Over the years they continue to send me letters requesting re-payment now with years of interest added on. I would like help like help with loan forgiveness. They were not honest about the process and for the loan and they did not allow refunds owed to students that could have covered the loan cost. Thank XXXX XXXX

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
In her response to our CFPB complaint ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX has used inaccuracies to justify LoanDepot maintaining a Delinquent Account alert against my credit reports. She states that all statements concerning this situation were sent to me and also placed on their website ( attached ). This is not true! I never received these documents and was completely ignorant of their existence till we received their letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX with a XXXX check as return payment for our XXXX XXXX loan payment ( attached ). We immediately sent in a total of XXXX in a check and electronic payments to get us current. 
Based on my immediate monetary response to LoanDepot after receipt of the only document ever " sent '' by LoanDepot, I feel the " Delinquent Account '' notification against my credit reports is no longer justified but is being maintained to punish me.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased several furniture items from XXXX XXXX store in XXXX, Illinois. When my financing application was approved, I realized that XXXX customers finance accounts are being serviced by Wells Fargo ( WF ). Had I been advised prior to the transaction, I would have declined the financing and credit from Wells Fargo. 

After I purchased and received the furniture from XXXX, I then expected to receive a monthly statement from WF. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received my first statement from WF for the purchased items from XXXX. I was surprised when I noticed that my first statement has a past due amount of {$40.00} and a late charge of {$27.00}. I immediately called WFs customer service after XXXX ( CST ) on XX/XX/XXXX to notify them of the error, but the automated voice instructed me to call during business hours. 

On XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX, I called WFs customer service again and the call was routed to the XXXX. I spoke with a gentleman named XXXX who agreed to waive the late charge as long as I pay the past due balance. I refused to pay the past due balance noting that there should not be any past due balance on my account because the account is new and it is the first monthly statement. In addition, I asked that the late charge be removed immediately including the derogatory notation of a past due charge indicated on the account. 

Further, I also declined to provide my personal, sensitive information to an offshore WF representative for fear of identity theft and potential misuse of my personal information. I told the offshore representative that I prefer to set up a WF account online and pay there instead in order to make a record of my payment. I have every intention of paying my debt to XXXX through WF and will pay said debt as long the amount and records are accurate. I attached a copy of my first bill from WF with the account number and my address redacted for security reasons. Please investigate on this matter and contact me for any additional information you may require to assist you.

Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
Company : PNC Bank. 

Please see the attached letter sent to PNC bank on XX/XX/XXXX detailing the event in question. Since that time, I have been in contact with XXXX XXXX XXXX, Executive Client Relations Representative at PNC Bank. Her contact information is as follows : ( p ) XXXX ; ( f ) XXXX ; XXXX. Unfortunately, PNC has declined to reinstate the funds to my account, or even inspect, reprimand, or manage the PNC account holder that scammed me. 

On Thursday, XX/XX/2019, as instructed, I deposited {$1400.00} into a PNC account holders account by the name of XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ). Subsequently, correspondence between the landlady and I became less frequent. She stopped responding to my emails and texts altogether, and never fulfilled her part of the agreement in sending me the keys and particulars to the unit. It is now evident that I have fallen victim to a scam. I was left devastated and, quite honestly, humiliated with no place to live only a few days before starting a new career. I have had to freeze my credit, open new banking accounts, credit/debit cards etc. The process has been exhausting, frustrating, and costly. 

PNC Bank has declined to look into the account that scammed me and further, declined my request to reinstate my funds after what they called a " thorough investigation. '' PNC indicated that my request was declined because of the policy that is signed by the account holder indicates that PNC is not at fault for these types of incidents, citing that the policy states that I " particpated '' in the nefarious transaction, even if unaware, as I deposited the funds willingly into the account. A significant point to consider - I was not a PNC account holder at the time I deposited these funds, nor was I ever previous to the transaction. I did not open an account with PNC until XX/XX/2019, so why is it that PNC is applying such terms to its rationale as to not return my funds? 

PNC has a responsibility as a financial institution to monitor and prevent fraud and the institute is outwardly denying adamantly to even investigate or contact the account holder. I am perplexed at how, me, as an outsider who was not an account holder at the time ; hence not signing or agreeing to any terms, is now being held to an agreement. Even more so, I am disappointed in PNC 's negligence and insouciant stance towards blatant fraudulent behavior. 

I can provide any and all documents upon request, including all email/text correspondence between the scammer and myself. 

Please feel free to reach me via phone at ( XXXX ) XXXX or email : XXXX. 

Thank you,

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2018, Bridgecrest charged off my car from being less than 30 days late. As per the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ). I have attached my orders from my XXXX aboard XXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent them an email, as my ship internet connectivity did not work well once we were far out at sea. We could send an email, but doing much else was not feasible. I spoke with customer service and was sent the attached ledger, which does not make sense to me. I keep getting from the company to call them when I file a complaint with the credit bureau for over a year now. What has been placed on my credit reports are not correct and it should have not been placed for collection. Code 50, U.S.C 3952states that a vehicle can not be repossessed during a XXXX  XXXX XXXX time. I was on XXXX. It was not repossessed but they charged it off without being 30 days late.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I entered into a XXXX related 12 month hardship program that included all of my credit cards with Comenity Bank ( all cc had to be incl and put on hold and could not be used ; this was a requirement by bank to enter their 12 month hardship program in XX/XX/XXXX ). All but one ( XXXX ) of my credit card accounts was removed from the program in error in XXXX, despite the bank requiring all credit card accounts be included. At no point did I ever ask to remove any credit card accounts or to be removed from the initial 12 month program. The bank continued to keep my XXXXXXXX XXXX  open and it continued on the program with automatic payments thru XX/XX/XXXX, which is when the program was scheduled to end. I made numerous calls to the bank regarding the other accounts that were removed in error and disputed the XXXX accounts that were closed with all three credit bureaus, but no resolution has been made to date. Regarding the cc that continued to be open until recently, the bank approved me to be on a new financial hardship program that I enrolled into in XX/XX/XXXX ( also for 12 months ). Again, this new program required automatic payments of {$40.00} per month that they scheduled that have been coming out of my bank acct consistently since entering the program. However, since entering the program in XX/XX/XXXX, I have been billed for the normal ( non-hardship ) amount incl interest and late fees every month and have made numerous attempts to resolve their billing errors and have not succeeded. I just recently learned that my acct is now closed ( after disputing my acct status, payment history, and fees billed in error numerous times with the bank and via each credit bureau )! I spoke to XXXX different representatives on XX/XX/XXXX, who all agreed and can see my cc was on a hardship plan, and they further agreed my account was closed in error ( just like my other XXXX accounts ). The XXXX agents I spoke to ( after being transferred several times ) could not help me because my acct has been closed, I was told the system status code does not allow them to fix my account. Despite making the agreed payments on time every month via autopay per the program terms, the bank has closed my account, they continue to report negative information that is WRONG to every credit bureau, and the necessary corrections have yet to be made, regardless of consistency withdrawing my timely monthly payments throughout the duration of another hardship program. My credit card balance, interest, and late fees are all wrong and my credit has taken a dramatic hit from the ongoing errors reported by Comenity Bank on all of my accounts with them!!!
