Company: SimpliFast Lending, LLC
State: MO
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Shopping for a loan or lease

Complaint:
I applied for a loan from a company in Kansas XXXX Kansas called Simpli Fast lending for an unsecured loan of XXXX or possibly more. The ad is false misleading because it states that bad credit is no problem and it deceives people into thinking the will get a loan regardless of their credit history.I have filed a complaint to the better business bureau and attorney general in my state but they will take a long time to look into my complaint. The ad states as follows Need Money No Problem Personal Loans Simple Easy Fast Bad Credit. No Problem Approved in minutes. 
Apply online or stop by. 
Open M-F XXXX SimpliFast Lending The loan experience you deserve XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I emailed the company and XXXX answered by email to my response but he did n't come back with a response just yet. I am asking that the amount of the loan that should have been financed to me in addition to all legal claims for false and misleading advertising in additional to all applicable lending laws as well as other damages as well. So I would ask that the company pay me all losses in my settlement as I needed the money for urgent personal matters as I am more than able to pay back the loan with my income requirements as well. I get a va pension of XXXX, social security XXXX of XXXX a month, and about XXXX or more a month working part time at my job which would be more than sufficient to pay back the loan even if my credit was an issue in which the ad states that bad credit is no problem in getting a loan with their company. It is the holidays and I need this matter settled as promptly possible as I intended the money to be also used for holiday shopping as well. Please call me back as soon as you can to settle this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I initially reported that I did not make a purchase on a XXXX ' card with account number ending XXXX. I told them that I had paid my account in full I was told that I had to complete and submit a Statement of Fraud which they had to USPS mail to me as they do n't have it electronically. They told me once they received that the account would be flagged for fraud and I would not longer receive phone calls ( I was receiving phone calls several times a day asking for payment ). I waited a week and called back again and told them I had not received the Statement of Fraud. She said she would mail it again. I waited another week and finally received it. At that time, I completed the Statement of Fraud and mailed it that same day. I have called several times to check on the status of this and each time they tell me a fraud investigation has been opened. I called again on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and spoke with XXXX and he said it had been resolved and it would be escalated so we can get it off of my credit report as soon as possible. He told me I should receive a letter from XXXX ' in 7-10 business days. I asked if he could email it and he said no, they only used USPS. He then said it would take 30 days for the credit bureaus to update my credit report. I also just received a bill for the aforementioned account number and the balance is now almost {$200.00} ( I believe the original amount was {$57.00} ). I also received a letter from XXXX ' saying effective immediately my credit balance has been lowered to from {$600.00} to {$200.00}. My credit limit on MY card ( which is a different account number ending in XXXX and has a balance of {$0.00} is {$1400.00}. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet to receive a letter from XXXX and it is still showing on my credit report. Thank you in advance.

PayPal has " simplified '' their PayPal Credit process to the point that it 's very difficult to understand that XXXX is applying for credit. I was assessed a {$25.00} late fee on an account that I did n't even know I owned! They cite terms and conditions ... but the real issue is that their process is so frictionless that it 's hard to know it 's there ... .it 's not about T 's & C 's. I have closed my credit account ( and my wife closed hers ), and filed a complaint with them. But it seems to me that the seedy operations for which you have already fined them is continuing.

Complaint:
I previously had a mortgage through PHH Mortgage. I recently refinanced my mortgage through XXXX. XXXX requested a current pay off statement from PHH on XXXX occasions in XXXX and PHH refused to provide a current pay off statement. They initially provided a payoff statement through XXXX XXXX and then provided a payoff statement through XXXX XXXX. We closed our refi and sent payment on XXXX/XXXX/15 to PHH overpaying our interest through XXXX XXXX. PHH refunded the balance of our escrow account. However, they DOUBLE PAID our PMI first before refunding. Our PMI was current and there was no reason for the double payment. We no longer use the same PMI company and I believe I am owed a refund of the duplicate payment. PHH has also not refunded the overpayment of 20 days of interest ( XXXX through XXXX ). I have called PHH to request info on where my overpayment went and they have refused to provide info. I asked for a statement of how much my overpayment was and they advised they did not have that information. They did not answer my question when I asked about the duplicate PMI Payment. They offered to send me a list of my payments XXXX which I am able to see online ) but then never faxed it.
