Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB
State: IL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: (CD) Certificate of deposit
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I opened a traditional IRA for {$6500.00} with State Farm Bank in XXXX XXXX, for tax year XXXX. The agent erroneously identified the account as a rollover. I did not notice the error until this year when I did my XXXX taxes. When I asked the agent to correct the error, she said it was too late and that I should instead amend my XXXX tax return. The bank offered to reimburse me for the nearly {$2000.00} in additional income tax, but not for any penalty or interest, nor for the additional tax I would owe for XXXX on the {$2000.00} reimbursement. I have repeatedly asked why the bank ca n't just issue me a form XXXX for XXXX, which I understand would cost them only a {$50.00} late penalty rather than {$2000.00}. To date, the only reason I have been given is that the deposit was " coded wrong. '' I do n't see anything in IRS regulations to prohibit issuance of a XXXX form XXXX now. To complicate matters, the bank decided to change the {$6500.00} IRA account I opened in XXXX XXXX, for tax year XXXX, as being for tax year XXXX. Any assistance you can offer to resolve this mess would be appreciated.

Complaint:
I have an auto loan through consumer portfolio services. In XXXX XXXX, my husband lost his job and we are no longer able to afford this loan.

I have attempted to contact this company regarding the " due date change '' they claim they processed on this loan to no avail.

Company: LYON SERVICES CORPORATION
State: VA
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Shopping for a loan or lease

Complaint:
I was recently shopping for a pool loan and was referred to Lyon Financial by the pool contractor. I am a mortgage lender so I already knew my credit score and debt ratios before I started to call and get quotes. When I spoke to XXXX XXXX at Lyon I told her my score and was quoted 10.99 % for a 12 year loan and she directed me to the website to apply. After I applied I was notified the next day that I was approved but the rate was 12.99 %. When I asked why I was told due to my credit score. I then asked what my score was and it was exactly what I said when I asked for the quote. All I was told was that she was sorry but there was nothing that could be done. She asked why I was so concerned about a {$37.00} difference in payment. This was a typical bait and switch. I was not quoted a range, I was quoted an EXACT rate with that score. Now I have a credit inquiry that I would have never have done if I was quoted correctly at the beginning. Being that I am a mortgage lender, I just cant stand the fact that unfair lending practices still exist and I would appreciate if the CFBP looked into this.

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint:
I recently payed off XXXX my loans with Sallie Mae. I went online to access my account. I selected the loan I wanted to pay off and payed the loan off completely. I received a receipt as well as information showing my account was at a XXXX balance. A few days later my account shows that I have an outstanding balance. Upon calling in I was asked whether or not I payed off my account online or over the phone. The agent informed me that Sallie Mae has no way of displaying the full payoff amount for my loan unless I call in. When I asked her why online would display something different than the actual payoff amount she stated that the system does not allow them to show the payoff amount because that I accrue interest daily for my loans. It does n't make sense for me to pay daily for interest when I have a set interest rate that I am suppose to be paying monthly for interest. This was something I was not aware of. When I asked her how much interest daily am I being charged on my loans her answer was anywhere from {$1.00} to {$2.00} a day on top of the amount owed. How is anyone ever suppose to pay off their loans accruing interest to that magnitude. Whenever I have payed a balance off with any financial institution the amount on the statement was the payoff amount. As long as this amount was paid by the due date no other money was owed. This is not fair and is ripping individuals like myself off. That means even when I pay the statement off I will always be charged for interest for however many days has passed. There is not a day where I am not accruing interest.

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
First Citizens bank upgraded the online banking system XX/XX/XXXX. The upgrade had problems from the beginning with capacity issues, login issues, and more. I found out XXXX XXXX that a payment setup through their system did not transfer information from the old system to the new system. I found out from the payee not First Citizens. The bank did not inform me through correspondence that this may happen. I logged into the system to setup the payment account again and had an issue with my pin. The card was disabled as a result of this issue. I reset the pin with a customer service representative at First Citizens and was told to wait 20 minutes for the system to update. I waited nearly two hours and logged on again, but the card was still disabled. I was then told to wait until midnight. I logged on the morning of XXXX and the card was still disabled. I called customer service again, and was told it was a known issue and they are working on it. The " sorry for the inconvenience '' rings hollow after 4 or 5 times, it becomes more of an excuse and leaves consumers powerless to conduct necessary financial transactions.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
Navy Federal Credit Union froze my accounts due to a late payments. They would make me call them to unfreeze my own account with my own money even if it was a day late. They also withdrew money from my savings account without consent for any overdraft in my checking account. Also when a company tries to withdraw money and there are insufficient funds, navy federal charges XXXX dollars and they do not even bother to charge you. They did that about 3 times for XXXX dollars each time. I do not understand this, I am in the military and having to deal with my account not working while I 'm trying to buy food or personal thing, because it is my money, is absurd.

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
I have recently graduated and surpassed the six month-post-graduation deferment status. I intend on continuing my education, but until then I planned on paying on my student loans. When I had initially called Sallie Mae, and XXXX, and Sallie Mae, and XXXX again ( due to their incredibly confusing split of my loans after I had taken them out ) they had given me one specific payment of which was reasonable. When the bills actually arrived in the mail they were quadruple what I was told on the phone a few months prior. Without having been employed in my field yet, I was able to pay the original stated payment but can not afford what they are claiming I must pay monthly now. Every time I call I reach a different person who is insistent on handling my call rather than trying to transfer my call to whom I had spoken to the last time, this leads to ever changing advice and totals. Every time I call they give me a different amount, date, and information. I am so overwhelmed because I feel as though Sallie Mae and XXXX have successfully made this process way more confusing and difficult by splitting companies and loans without any prior notice.

Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I got the loan in XXXX XXXX for an emergency home repair. When I went to set up an account online to pay in XXXX, it was VERY user-unfriendly, and I ended up having to call their customer service, and was on the phone for quite some time. I thought I had gotten it all straightened out for this month, but I also had a lot of problems this month, and was unable to access my account. Consequently, I was locked out from paying the monthly installment. When I called Customer Service again to remedy the problem, I found out I was late paying ( how would I know? I was n't able to access my account! ) and assessed a {$26.00} late fee on a {$40.00} payment. The woman was very discourteous, and insisted it was not the problem of Wells Fargo, stating she was unable to remove the late fee. I explained that it was the problem of Wells Fargo, since I was n't able to access my account. She kept repeating " not Wells Fargo 's fault, '' so I asked to speak with her supervisor. I was on terminal hold, and ended up hanging up after about 12 minutes of waiting.
