I did what they told me and also the lady I placed the order from XXXX bank also stated on my account that I will get my statement credit. But still two month and I did n't receive my credit. when I called them they are asking me to send me the receipt of purchasing that phone which I bought it from their link and also from their credit card. It a false advertisement and waste of time for consumer who have to call and wait for his money. They should stop this kind of advertisement and when consumer call them and placed the order with them as they describe they should issue that credit right away.

Company: Harpeth Financial Services, LLC
State: TN
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint:
I took out a flex loan through XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I took this loan with the understanding it was a higher rate loan, however the repayment terms were not disclosed nor explained to me properly. There available loans are between $ 25- {$4000.00}. They advertise their XXXX XXXX, naturally, however all examples of repayment listed on their website are not for the {$4000.00} as if they were I feel sure they would not conduct the volume of business they do. 

These repayment examples also do not show any repayment schedule extended past 14 days, but they offer repayment terms past 14 days. The fees charged and terms of your repayment change drastically the longer you have the loan. 

To sum it up. I borrowed {$4000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX, have paid a total of {$4500.00} to date, XX/XX/XXXX. The payoff on my loan as of today XX/XX/XXXX is {$4900.00}. I will have repaid a total of {$9400.00} to this company. They list the APR as 279.50 % ; however since this is a rate of " cost of the loan '', basically they charge a % every two weeks as a " customary fee ''. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$430.00} on XX/XX/XXXX - breakdown : {$52.00} Principal {$32.00} Interest and {$340.00} Customary Fee. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$430.00} TWICE! They took a total of {$860.00} on this day -- breakdown : {$52.00} Principal {$32.00} Interest and {$340.00} Customary fee, ALL OF THIS TWICE. 

Notice how the principal amount applied to my loan did not change from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX payments? 

This to me is the definition of predatory lending. There is no way my documentation provided up front would have shown my ability to repay {$1200.00} per month. If they were going to place these repayment terms on me I would not have been approved for the loan, nor would I have applied. 

This company advertises their customers only pay for the time they borrow the money. I paid {$1200.00} in the month of XXXX alone on {$4000.00} I borrowed to begin with. {$43.00} a day is what I paid in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Why are these companies not forced to adhere to the state regulated maximum rates set by regulators and not required to prove a customer ability repay a debt based off their own repayment terms? 

I will provide all statements of my account and any other requested documentation. A dispute has been issued with the company as well in writing.

Several years ago I enrolled in automatic payments and unfortunately did n't do my due diligence on following up with the loan provider. Logging in our account and seeing were our money has gone has been incredibly devastating. I am a XXXX and graduated from a college that is now closed.

Company: DOLEX DOLLAR EXPRESS, INC.
State: AZ
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
The person who initially made the transaction entered the information wrong in the system. Their paperwork does not have a way to verify as to where the names have been placed. They placed the receiving person 's middle name as their last name. So when they went to pick up the money it was not being release to them. When I went in to correct the problem the following day it was corrected very promptly. There are no complaints there other than the fact I had to take time off work that I should have had to take. 
The lady who fixed the problem said it would be fixed within 1-1.5 hours which it was. Although she said sometimes the PIN changes and said she would call me to let me know when the transaction was complete and the receiver was able to pick up the money. She said IF the PIN changed she would let me know of this change at that time. I NEVER received a call letting me know the transaction was complete much less giving me a new PIN. I found out because the receiver had to contact me yet again. The receipt given at the Dollar Express does not have the phone number of the actual location so that we can call directly only an XXXX number to customer service whom barley speak/understand English. Which took more time out of my workday. This is not the first time they have entered the person 's names wrong. When dealing with money that should be one of their top priorities.

Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
Commonwealth Financial is a collection agency. The placed a major derogatory collection account on all three of my credit reports for {$1000.00} for some unknown medical fees. I contacted them via letter requesting all information concerning alleged debt, such as who the original creditor is, address, contact info, etc. All they could provide to me was their own computer print-out with no description of any kind as to what services were provided and by whom, and no other information whatsoever. The supposed services were from XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted them again by phone on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with " XXXX ''. He could provide no further information, saying only that the medical group or original creditor had written off the amount a few years ago and that XXXX XXXX was now the owner of the written-off debt. I was then told I needed to file an ID theft complaint and a police report. I did that and faxed it to them. Commonwealth and XXXX XXXX are notorious shake-down operators that attempts to extort money from persons by damaging their credit until you pay them off. They should be shut down and put in jail.

Complaint:
It is becoming increasingly clear that the credit reporting companies are becoming ever more aggressive in their efforts to exploit the unlimited authority granted creditors by the FCRA to extort consumers into paying fraudulent debts -- by granting private companies the authority to access consumers ' personal information without their consent or the authority to consider evidence of any criminal activity associated with said information or report it to the authorities -- to likewise use the credit files of consumers to extort them into purchasing unnecessary services offered by the credit reporting companies as a price for submitting online disputes of the information contained in their credit files.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: NH
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 My wife and I received a credit bureau notification that there was a change to our credit reports. Upon checking the change, it showed that we were 30-60 days late on our mortgage. My wife and I had paid the mortgage each month as required. My wife however had made partial payments in the month of XXXX and XXXX with the full balance being paid by the XXXX of the month. When speaking with our company Loan Care, they said that this happens a lot and on their statements, they say that partial payments are held and when the entire balance is paid, they release the funds. In this case, the funds were applied to the principle balance and from XXXX until XXXX, we had been late, and had been accruing late fees etc. and were never given a phone call to say that we were late nor a letter saying we were late. When we called Loan Care on XX/XX/2017, we asked why we were never notified and we were told that they did n't have to notify us since we are able to access our account on line. Upon speaking to them further they said that the issue happens often and that they were going to fix the problem and update the credit agencies and notify them that this a mistake. As of the writing of this complaint XX/XX/2017, the issue has still to be resolved and our credit reports are still showing us late. We have called no less than 6 times and spoken to several employees who have assured us that the issue was being taken care of and wold be expedited and fixed within 5-10 days. This was almost 50 days ago. We do n't receive calls back when we are told we would from management, our credit reports have taken an unnecessary " hit '' of nearly XXXX points and this company has done nothing to fix or help us when they said they would. Each time we call, we are told by another employee that the situation will be resloved and are given their apologies for the misunderstanding. We are both XXXX and pay our bills accordingly. On today 's date XX/XX/2017 we were told that the issue would take another 5-10 days and that there are XXXX departments currently working on our issue. This is the poorest customer service my wife and I have ever experienced and people who are dealing with this company need to be warned.

Complaint:
3 checks were stolen from our mail box in XX/XX/XXXX then washed and cashed. 2 of 3 the checks were cashed by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX.. The 3rd check I had a stop placed on it. The recipients names were changed to cash and the amounts were significantly altered ; # XXXX for {$240.00} to {$2200.00} and # XXXX {$290.00} to {$2200.00}. The payee 's called several weeks later complaining they had not received their checks. I called the bank to see if the had cleared and they had not. I rewrote them new checks and mailed them out ; thinking i must have accidentally thrown them into the trash. I received my statement on XX/XX/XXXX and found the checks had been altered and cashed. I immediately went to the XXXX Key Bank Branch where i explained the problem to XXXX XXXX, relationship manager. He helped me complete the Key Bank Fraud Affidavit. Then I proceeded to the XXXX County Sheriffs office and filed a Case #. Since then i have been unable to get any money refunded. Neither Key Bank nor XXXX XXXX Fraud Depts. will discuss this with me. XXXX XXXX says i 'm not their customer and Key Bank says the branch in XXXX should follow up on your behalf. The XXXX Branch says its out of their hands that it is a XXXX XXXX issue.

Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
Following was the sequence of events that happened to me with a purchase from XXXX Day after XXXX opened a XXXX from XXXX with purchase of XXXX dollars. Do not remember signing up for paperless statements, but I missed the XXXX statement, their rep called me on XXXX XXXX, I asked for a waiver on late fee, and they agreed to it, I wanted to pay it off in full. Since I was driving when she called did not remember the original amount, I just asked for full payoff amount which was she said was XXXX dollars, but she gave me minimum amount due. For next XXXX months I did not get any bill in emails or hard copy. I got call from collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX, that I owe XXXX dollars. Most of which are late fee. Now when I am disputing that I asked for full payment in XX/XX/XXXX, they are saying that it is only minimum payment, when I ask for voice recording, they said they can not provide. Since our agreement was only verbal, that is the only proof I have. Are there any other options for me apart from paying XXXX dollars which I think is totally not fair. 

Thanks
