While enrolled at  XXXX   XXXX  it was my understanding that I only had subsidized and unsubsidized loan. When applying for a house last year it was brought to my attention that I had a private loan through FA-PEAKS showing on my credit report.

The total loan amount was for {$9700.00} but they wanted at least {$4500.00} to even start a repayment plan. This seemed very fraudulent to me the more I spoke with the representative and the more I researched the company.

Company: FIRST HORIZON BANK

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I opened an account with a bank in my home state so that my family and I could easily exchange funds while I am XXXX out-of-state. Since I receive my mail at my XXXX address for several months out of the year ( and since I was going back to XXXX shortly after the account opening ), I listed my out-of-state XXXX address on the account application. Despite this mailing address, I am STILL a resident of my home state, and I have an ID from my home state. This information was documented on my account application. 
I was hoping to receive a new account sign-up bonus from this bank, which stated that only residents of X states ( including my home state, but not including my XXXX state ) were eligible for the sign-up bonus. Since I am a resident of my home state, I am eligible for this bonus. I completed all other requirements of the new account bonus promotion, but the bank refused to give me the sign-up bonus, saying that I am ineligible because I used my XXXX mailing address on the account. I want this bank to be penalized for their deceptive marketing and unfair customer service.
