Issue: Other fee

Complaint:
Hello, I purchased tickets from XXXX directly using my Bank of america Credit card. The ticket fares displayed on the portal were in XXXX currency. When I am reviewing my statement it shows entry related to the ticket fare along with that additional charges related to foreign transaction fee. 
below are details. 

Total cost of ticket XXXX $ and foreign transaction fee of XXXX XXXX 
I spoke to XXXX and they say we dont charge any additional fee and that we have received XXXX from my card company. 
I fail to understand that if the ticket price were dispayed in XXXX by the airline company, I used my XXXX credit card to make the payment why should it attract any foreign transaction fee. 

thanks, XXXX

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
I owe an auto loan debt for a vehicle that was repossessed XXXX XXXX, XXXX to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and was notified by such entity some time between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX that the debt would be transferred to a debt collection agency. Around the end of XXXX XXXX, I contacted the credit union to find out who the collection agency was because I had n't heard anything since I received the letter and they gave me Grant and Weber 's name and phone number. I called Grant and Weber and asked the rep if they had an account for me ; she transferred me and it rang then went to voicemail so I left a voicemail message with my contact info. I have not received any notification in writing nor by telephone from the Grant and Weber agency about how I may make payments on this account. I have contacted both agencies multiple times over the past 3 months and all the credit union tells me is that Grant and Weber has all the information they need and the account is with them. In XXXX XXXX, Grant and Weber told me that they did n't have an account for me. About an hour later, they called back and said that the reason they could n't find an account for me was because they did n't have enough information from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to establish the account. Grant and Webber told me this approximately 15 months after I received written notification from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that the account would be sent to collections. This is a severe lack of due diligence on Grant and Weber 's part! I also do not understand why XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has not been remediating my account with Grant and Weber since I informed them multiple times that Grant and Weber has not gotten back to me and they must know that they have not been receiving payments since they report the account 's status to the credit bureaus! I have been unable to make payments on this outstanding debt for over 18 months! This is completely ridiculous and unfair! I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX again today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and spoke to the representative that I spoke to in XXXX and asked him if Grant and Weber had contacted them about the missing information and he said no, Grant and Weber has all the information needed. He said he 'd call me back within the hour. It has been nearly an hour and no call back from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX All I am trying to do is take care of my responsibility now that I am employed and able to make payments. This is emotionally, mentally, and financially draining!

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
Good evening : I took out approximately {$42000.00} in the early XXXX, and I have been paying for over 19 years, and now I owe {$54000.00} ; and I ca n't seem to understand why my principal never went down at all after all this years. Another thing is that I worked out a change on my student loans, to make my payments more affordable at the beginning of the XXXX ; and now without my agreeing to it, Navient change all the terms of the loans, back to the XXXX, when I could not afford them ; I get the impression that they want me to default. I asked them for a complete print out of all of my loan transactions over the years, and any changes to my loan terms ; to see if I can understand what is going on with my loans. The loans just keep increasing, and 19 years have gone by and there is not change ( I guess every time I took a forbearance, I had to pay the interest and then pay interest on the interest ) ; I also think that I should have the right to review and signed any changes to my note since I am the borrower. 
Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

State: NJ
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX XXXX filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau against a state agency that is operation outside the legal requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The debt in question was originally procured with XXXX Student Loans. Now there is no knowledge of what entity owns the debt because the debt was private and sold off into a securitized trust. The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation claim that they purchased a privatized debt. They have shown no proof of ownership, nor can they show ownership. They are essentially operating as a debt collection agency, fully outside the constitutional limits of a state to maintain a separate collection service for private debt they have XXXX collateral interest in. Accordingly, I demand an immediate cease and desist on all calls to my home or work, and the only correspondence I will accept is proof of ownership of a debt is impossible to own. The NYSHESC state on the attached letter that they purchased the debt from XXXX Student Loans. This is a complete falsehood that can not be proved. I demand an immediate cease and desist from this state agency immediately and permanently.

State: FL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
A bank fraud was committed on XXXX XXXX around XXXX that wiped out {$710.00} from our checking account. An SMS message was sent by Chase 's automated fraud protection at that exact moment and we immediately responded that we did not process a money transfer. Out of concern, we contacted them by phone immediately. They supposedly put some sort of bank hold on the account. 
The next morning, we went into the Chase branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX to close and re-open new bank accounts. A bank officer named XXXX XXXX had us fill out paperwork ( see attachment ) and told us that our monies would be returned in 2 days max. No provisional credit was offered. 
This is where everything went wrong. 
XXXX - No money received from bank. This is 6 days later after reporting the fraud. XXXX re-faxed paperwork and said they would expedite payment. 
XXXX - No money received from bank. XXXX passed us to a different officer name XXXX XXXX. XXXX made phone calls and told us that at a certain Chase division had not received any faxes from their branch. It was re-faxed a third time and XXXX confirmed the receiving of the paperwork and assured a quick resolution. 
XXXX - No money received from bank. XXXX stated that we would have our money by the end of the day. 
XXXX - No money received from bank. XXXX seemed cooperative and determined to get our money, but again nothing happened. 

XXXX - No money received from bank. It is now 13 days since the bank fraud wiped our account. No apologies. No provisional credits. XXXX spoke with a different Chase Dept. who now tells her we would need to wait another 3-5 days for monies to be placed back into our account. 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - I XXXX have a vast knowledge on internet security and best practices for protecting my accounts. I am not certain how this fraud occurred and Chase Security has n't been forward coming on their information. 
All I know is that Chase was informed of the fraud within the hour of it occurring. Based on my immediate notification of the fraud, Federal Regulation E Section 205.11 states that I should have received my monies within 10 days. This has not happened. 
My time is valuable, and I have now lost more money battling for my funds than anyone should have to endure. 
Chase Bank 's Quick Pay system is to blame for this unauthorized EFT. A feature I have never used and works by sending an email to anyone you want to transfer money to. Obviously, this system is flawed and allows a non-chase bank account holder to quickly receive funds and then close their temporary bank account.

In XXXX helped my daughter get a loan, the gal told me because I did not have employment or received income tax refunds my daughter would be eligible for a higher grant.Her Father was the sole provider for our family until his passing in XXXX .The gal stated I was considered below poverty the grant would help my daughter.i have NOT received a bill on this. The IRS informed me I had a tax offset taking my entire refund and applying it to a collection agency for Dept. Of Ed. I am now the sole provider for my XXXX YR old grandchild and I received the XXXX for the sole purpose of caring for her.my daughter has her loan in deferment so she had thought that was it, like I said I have not been sent a bill, when in fact all these people I have contacted concerning this issue including the collection agency DO HAVE MY CORRECT ADDRESS.I believe I was falsely certified for this loan as I 've only filed income taxes this will be the second time in my life and I 'm XXXX years of age.The Dept.of education nor the collection agency has notified me of this issue.Like I said my daughter 's father was the sole provider for our family, until he recently passed away.Ive researched ALOT on this issue and found on dept.of Ed that if a payment has n't been made on a loan in 270 days then the loan will go into default..Dept. of XXXX informed me that the loan went into default on XX/XX/XXXX, AGAIN I 've received nothing on this loan .So it has been since XXXX it is now XXXX that 's roughly around XXXX some odd days, my question is how did this just now go into default then? Federal law requires you must be given advanced notice of proposed offset including the nature and outstanding debt, the notice must also advise you of your rights, AGAIN I 've received nothing.And the collection agency took my tax refund for the debt.On my refund I was only untitled to the XXXX for my XXXX YR old grandchild in my care nothing more, nothing less.I am in a financial hardship as I 'm now unemployed and expected that refund to get back on our feet for my granddaughter and I .I am requesting a tax offset refund request from the collection agency as they nor any other institution has informed me of this .I 've filed several complaints and still waiting.i could have gotten a deferment also had I been informed of this.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Chase incorrectly entered an account number from a payer 's check deposited into my account on or about XXXX. This wasted two hours of my time, caused the person issuing the check and I grief when Chase wrongfully entered an account number from the XXXX XXXX account. I went to local branch and spoke with private bank gentlman who called the fraud department that had sent me an email saying my account was flagged and that all deposits would be monitored. They told him they could not located the payer 's account number. They have hit my account for below minimum fees and caused me major aggravation. Only after I called myself did Chase allegedly call the issuing bank and claim to rectify the issue. The service person from XXXX at Chase confirmed it was an error on their end. This is disgusting that Chase could n't figure out to call the issuing bank directly. It took them 6 days from deposit to figure out that there was an issue and it turned out to be an issue on their end by entering the wrong account number. The threats to review and hold up my deposits is totally unwarranted as is holding the monies until the XXXX. See the attached email from them. If I had not Chase on my own, after a failed visit to the actual XXXX XXXX branch, and beseeched them to call the issuing bank this would be pending forever. I 'm still not sure if they have fixed this mess. Why would n't they know to call the other bank without my telling them? Utterly disgusting. Bank reform desperately needed.
