Product: Student loan

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
In early XXXX my family and I arrived in the US due to a medical emergency. My daughter got accepted to XXXX XXXX University but I did not have any money and was unemployed. Notwithstanding my financial situation, I was told by the finance office that I would be approved for a parent-student loan to cover what shortfall my daughter had for her tuition. Long story short, I am in for over {$130000.00}. I eventually found employment in XXXX and worked for XXXX XXXX for 5 1/2 years. I applied for PSLF but was denied because I was not able to pay the required minimum payments. Because of XXXX XXXX  in my job, I decided to retire in XXXX and have not been making payments in part also due to the hold issued by the government during the pandemic. My issue is that why did they approve me for a parent-student loan knowing that I had no money and was unemployed. Had I known that I would rack up this much debt, I would have either sent my daughter back to the XXXX or forced her to look for another school. I have no means to pay and I have already cashed in my 401K just to survive. What can I do about this? Thank you.

On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my credit report The Macy 's account was closed on my report.

My report shows on XX/XX/XXXX the account was closed. XX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX called from Macys again threatened me if i do not make a payment by XX/XX/XXXX that y account would be closed. I verified with a credit counselor that the account is in fact. I explained back in XXXX that I was going through a divorce and had an apartment fire in XXXX. I was really hopping that they would have kept my account open since i recently paid off half of my account in XX/XX/XXXX. It's unfortunate that Macy; decided to not help and chose to make it worst.

Company: BMO HARRIS BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Product: Checking or savings account

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
On Wednesday, XX/XX/2022, I discovered that my Bank ( BMO Harris ) had cashed a check against my account in the amount of {$5100.00} on XX/XX/2022 which was payable to XXXX XXXX. I had written the said check ( # XXXX ) on XX/XX/2022 for the amount of {$20.00} payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. In looking at the copy of the cancelled check it was obvious to see that all the details had been altered, date, payee, amount, and my signature. I was told that I needed to file a police report ( because of the amount of the fraud ) and that the bank could not begin an investigation until they had the report. I filed the report and the bank received a copy of that report on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that an investigation would take between 30-45 working days and that " day one '' began when I reported the fraud which was XX/XX/XXXX ) Further communication with the bank manager has been poor. I feel there has been limited communication and I only learn things when I call them. When I talked to the branch manager on XX/XX/XXXX, that I anticipated my money being returned on XX/XX/XXXX ( 45 working days from initial complaint ) ; I was told the following, " she misspoke about the 45 days and that the fraud department would now need 60 to 180 days to determine the outcome of my fraud investigation. '' I expressed my displeasure at hearing this news and asked why the bank continued to move the goalpost on returning my money. I was told that it had to do with the amount of the fraud. I called the main BMO bank in XXXX and repeated the details of my story to their customer service department. I was told that my conversation would be shared and listened to and that my situation would be rectified. Needless to say nothing has been done. I am still waiting for the money ( {$5100.00} ) to be returned to my account. I am tired of waiting and I hope by filing this report that something can be done to return my funds to my account immediately.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On Tuesday XX/XX/22 I received a text message from what had appeared to be from my Bank that a fraudulent charge was made but declined at XXXX in the amount of {$970.00}. I quickly panicked and replied No to the text message. After that my phone rang and the person on the other line said they were from Bank of America and they were able to catch this fraudulent charge before it hit my account. However they said that a pending XXXX Transfer was scheduled to leave my bank account at XXXX XXXX and they wanted to try and reverse it. At this point I had completely questioned everything but they reassured me with confidence that they would get it straightened out. I sent a XXXX transfer in the amount of {$3400.00} to myself but it went to the scammers. I was a complete victim of a Scam that I was not aware about and didnt even realize that it was a scam until I called my Bank the following day. I filed a fraud claim with Bank of America and it is still in process. From what I have read people have had a hard time getting their money refunded back to them who have been struck by this horrific scam. I am a hardworking individual and Bank of America customer for over 16 years who certainly did not deserve to have this happen to them.
