Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I canceled a subscription with XXXX for a recurring gold 6 month subscription for {$69.00}. I noticed where my checking account with Regions had been debited for {$69.00} on XX/XX/2020. I reached out to the merchant the morning of XX/XX/XXXX approximately XXXX ( company website stated it was open 24 hrs/ 7 days a week, however company is not ) and spoke to XXXX and asked why my account was debited when the subscription was canceled on XX/XX/2020. XXXX stated that the subscription was canceled on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX, Canceled by the company XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX, and Renewed on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX. I explained to XXXX that I had not renewed this account. I asked to speak to a manager, and spoke with XXXX who stated the billing dept will contact me within 24-48hrs, which they never did. I contacted my bank Regions on XX/XX/2020 to dispute the transaction. The bank policy is the transaction can not be disputed until it actually post to my account, which it actually posted on the XX/XX/XXXX. I was given a claim # and proceeded to wait for my back to contact me. On Friday XX/XX/2020 I made a appointment to meet with someone from the bank to discuss my account and I was told I could be assisted without coming into the branch by phone. I do not have the name of the person I spoke with, but I provided them with the information above and was told this information would be added to my claim. On today I made a appointment again to meet with a branch representative to discuss my claim again only to be told my claim had been denied because there was no proof of cancellation. I told the pweson I spoke with that I did not have a confirmation number, but did have a screenshot from my phone stating the transaction had been cancelled. She provided me with a email address and stated she would submit the information and request the case be back open. At this point I am very disappointed with the level of customer service I have received from Regions. Even after contacting the merchant and contacting my bank for assistance I am still out of {$69.00}. I am not satisfied and want assistance with resolving this issue asap.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
A short time ago, Governer XXXX of NY said that Mortgage payments can be deferred due to hardship caused by the Corona Virus. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX that is being affected. I called PNC Mortgage and they are not honoring what Gov XXXX had put in place. I was treated like a delinquent payer and was said I could defer for 3 months and would have to pay the full amount back in XXXX. Does that make sense? If no money is coming in during XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ... How can you pay it all in XXXX? Other banks are allowing you to defer to the end of the mortgage. This is awful. I had spoken to XXXX in collections in regards to this.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
Hello, I have a Discover Credit Card. I made a payment from my XXXX XXXX account for {$500.00} in XXXX of XXXX. I have used this account in the past with success. I initiated it through Discover 's mobile app. By the end of the month, the payment never reflected in my balance, but instead there was two " Returned Payment '' Fees. The money was for sure taken out of my XXXX account and never returned, and to this day Discover claims that I did not have sufficient funds ever. 

I opened a dispute with Discover and filled out their standard documents asking account numbers and explanation. I also provided them with multiple bank statements showing it left my account and never returned ( attached here also ). I did this for my XXXX statement for when the payment was initiated, but also, all the way up to XX/XX/XXXX. There was never a returned payment of {$500.00}. 

Eventually they closed my dispute for " not providing sufficient documentation '' even after posting all my statements and filling out their documents. This was late in late XXXX. I continued to call and they requested personalized letters from my bank to say that my payment cleared - but XXXX does not make personalized letters. I got to Discover 's payment department only twice since opening the dispute, and when they get to a point where I point on their balances, they say that they " need to look into it ''. They have hung up on me twice after I clarify that they've been there for months. 

As of XXXX, I called recently and they said " this is a XXXX case, and it is closed indefinitely. '' It seems that everyone I talk to now has no urgency whatsoever. I have thorough case notes on this Discover dispute that express I should be handed over to the payment department or manager immediately, but everyone has to start from the beginning each time I call and it's been no help. It feels like they are doing almost no investigation work since it seems each agent is stunned that there's tons of documentation despite the case being closed due to " insufficient documentation ''.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
I paid off my student loan on XX/XX/2017. I logged in on XX/XX/2017 to ensure it was paid off and there was a balance of {$5.00} for unpaid interest. I called to explain this to aspire and was told I would have to pay it and they would not back date the interest to XX/XX/2017. I spoke to a rep as well as a manager. I finally offered to pay the balance via a credit card and they told me the minimum payment would be {$10.00}. I hung up and paid the balance because I was told they would not freeze interest while I submitted a complaint to them and would be responsible for daily interest accruing. My payment was made online. This is a scam had I not gone into check I would have accrued interest for who knows how long because their system is broken.
