Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: VA
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
I applied for a loan with Cash Net USA last month when I desperately needed some cash to keep me and my family from being evicted from our home in XXXX, VA. I was desperate at the time and admittedly I did n't read the " fine print '' in the loan documents. 
Cash Net needed my routing number and account number in order to deposit the money in my account. The loan was for {$1000.00}. 
But as it turns out, aside from using the information only to deposit the funds into my account, they also use the information to draft my account without setting up an autodraft with my lending institution. 
Once I realized the ramifications of my actions, I read the " fine print. '' As it turns out, I am being charged a fee of {$150.00} for administrative charges. They are also charging 300 % APR. 
As is the case with desperate people such as myself, my family 's welfare is more important to me than being shaken down by legal loansharking. 
I have the emails sent to me from Cash Net verifying the above information. 
They will draft over {$200.00} from my account ( currently overdrawn ) for the first of 12 installment payments on XXXX causing additional fees and charges. 
I am doing the best I can to get back on my feet, but am unable to right now as I am currently XXXX at the VA hospital in XXXX, VA. I am working through some combat-related, service-connected issues. While the additional stress is challenging my recovery, I realize that is not your problem. 
Is it legal to draft someone 's checking account without the account holder setting up their autodraft at their lending institution? 
How is charging 300 % legal anyway? 
How is this not considered to be predatory lending? 
As I stated earlier I can forward the information I received from Cash Net, but am unable to do so on this platform. 
Please advise me on what I may be able to do to resolve this situation. 
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
After Disputing my credit with Equfax by phone and on line the online report became unavailable.

They refuse to update my address information and are still reporting an address I have never had which ccould be associated with Idenity theft XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Tx XXXX I have disuted this address several times. I never lived here or know how it has come to be on my report. They contine to report my student loans multiple times when I called the collection agencyes who they show to be reporting them I was told thet the reason they are showing up on my report is because Equifax is sending them repeated investigations ect but that they should have droped off after 30 days as they are no longer reporting them the loans have been discharged and I no longer owe them. They are reporting them 9 times.While there were only XXXX loans that have been completley dicharged. Also they have elected to now only report my negative credit and have erased all of good credit. which is only being reported by XXXX and XXXX.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: TX
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I have been a customer with this bank for years and for the most part I have not had any problems, until recently. I began reviewing my account statements after I received a notice that my account was over drafted over {$700.00}. I will be honest in saying that I have unintentionally over drafted my account in the past and have been able to bring my account in the positive within a reasonable amount of time. When I reviewed my statements, I started by reviewing the balance and charges from XXXX until recently. I would subtract the charges shown from the balance provided on my statements. Often times when I was charged an overdraft fee, there would still be available funds in the account. I have been charged {$36.00} overdraft fees for charges well under {$5.00}, the smallest being a {$0.00}. I know difference between an available balance and posted balance, still according to my research, a lot of the overdraft fees I was charged was done in error. The way BB & T explains how they process payments and the difference between an available balance and posted balance seems very deceptive. Based on the numerous complaints I have reviewed, I am not the first customer to have this problem. My account is utilized for various reasons and BB & T has put me in great financial trouble with other institutions I pay using the funds that are deposited in this account. I contacted the customer number XXXX to resolve this, both times the line disconnected. I only decided to submit this complaint as a last resort when I checked my bank statement to find out I was charged {$4.00} for contacting the customer service number in order to resolve my problem. I would like to remain a customer with this bank, but I do not agree with how I have been treated and taken advantage of.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: AZ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
We requested a Covid-19 forbearance XXXX of 2020 and additional extensions as we had a loss of income due to the pandemic. We have reached the 18 month mark and are ready to resume our mortgage payments. 

We contacted Select Portfolio Services to advise that we were ready to continue making our mortgage payments and after a series of questions we were advised we needed to send in a full borrower assistance package that includes but is not limited to : two years of tax returns, pay stubs, hardship letter, utility bills, etc. 

According to the online resources for XXXX XXXX, their website information states a full package is not needed in order to get a deferral, modification etc. unless we are disqualified from said programs for a specific reason. We have asked SPS at least on 3 or 4 different occasions if we do not qualify for the Covid-19 relief options for a specific reason and we have not been given one. The only thing we have been told is that we are REQUIRED to send in a full and complete package due to investor requirements even on Covid-19 options. 

We do not want to be at risk of losing our home so we are going to send in a full package, however, we would like this issue to be investigated due to the conflicting information on the XXXX XXXX website and what we are being told by the servicing company.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX is a fraudulent company. That loan is paid off. I had to refinance to get rid of them.They hold checks until the account is overdue and have their collectors call and threaten me. Then, toward the end of the month they apply the check to the account. It happened twice to me. I always paid on time and this report they gave of me being over 60 days on a loan is false. I had a credit score of XXXX and they have driven it down under XXXX for the first time in many years. Check my real credit history without XXXX XXXX. This company should be investigated and shut down. I would be glad to testify to the true nature of this shameful company.

Complaint:
On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX I deposited a check into my checking account. The check was issued from Chase Bank. On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from my bank informing me that Chase would be putting a hold on releasing any funds from the check for 10 days. Is it legal to wait 4 days before informing someone that you will be holding their check for 10 days? Also, it was not made clear to me whether the hold for 10 days would be in addition to the 4 days that the funds have already been witheld. I have also not been informed if this would be 10 business days or 10 concurrent days. I have no desired resolution other than if this is not legal, then I would like to request that it be investigated by the appropriate authorities.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have a savings account with Citizens Bank, where I only direct deposit funds and I use it to online transfer money to my family, who also have Citizens Bank accounts. I recently had to transfer {$25000.00} into my father 's account, and so I called Citizens Bank directly and asked them what would be the easiest way to complete this. I specifically asked about their transaction fee limits ( are their fees associated, is it a monthly limit, how much money do I need to keep in my account at all times ) and they told me that 1 ) there are no fees if you are transferring within the bank ; 2 ) there is a transaction limit of {$2000.00} but there are no monthly limits so I can transfer {$2000.00} as many times as I would like ; 3 ) I need to keep {$300.00} in my account at all times as a minimum. I was extremely pleased with the call - and just made XXXX transfers of {$2000.00}. The next day I was charged with XXXX Excessive Transaction Fees ( {$15.00} each ), and then XXXX Service Charge ( {$15.00} each ) - totaling XXXX fees of $ XXXX/each = {$90.00} in fees. I called back Citizens Bank and asked them why this happened, when I clearly called and asked for advice on the correct way to transfer these funds. They confirmed that their agent miscommunicated the rules of my account to me, and due to Reg D restrictions, there was a cap to how many transfers I could make in a month. I told him that if I had known this - I happily would have just found another way to transfer these funds. The agent apologized, but said the only thing he could do was give me {$30.00} of the {$90.00}. I was upset and asked to speak to his manager. The manager confirmed that EVEN THOUGH I called Citizens Bank and asked to be reeducated on the transfer limits and fees of my bank account, and EVEN THOUGH they miscommunicated those requirements to me, that I was the one who was at fault, because I am required to know the rules of my account at all times. He told me that I should have read all this in my account agreement when I started - which is fine, I can agree with that - but then I asked him if I was to call in and ask to be reiterated these requirements ( which I did ), should I not expect that they will communicate these regulations to me appropriately. He said that although they were there to help - they were NOT required or liable for miscommunication. 

I happen to work for XXXX XXXX - and I know that they are NOT allowed to withhold financial requirements of my account, especially when I call in and ask to be educated on these requirements. I am EXTREMELY upset, and believe they are being abusive and deceptive to their customers.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I used Paypal to transfer money to a friend. They refused the transaction immediately due to Paypals fees. I then used XXXX thru XXXX  XXXX XXXX to complete the transfer. 5 days later paypal tried to take the money out of my account overdrawing it. I called paypal and they initiated a refund they said could take 5 days. This withdrawl was cancelled 5 days earlier and they still took it.

Last night XX/XX/XXXX Paypal once again took out the money from my checking account. I was told by Paypal that it should not have happened.

Paypal is almost impossible to deal with and I still do not have any resolution. Please help.
