State: NJ
Product: Credit card
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint:
Hello, In XXXX of this year, I received a new credit card from Macys. There was no indication in the paperwork that I received that my account number had changed but, it turns out it had. I had my Macys account set-up to receive ebills through XXXX XXXX XXXX but, since they had changed my account number, I stopped receiving these bills. It seems the first missed payment was in XXXX. The first contact I received from Macys that there was an issue was in XXXX. At that point they sent a letter claiming to have called me repeatedly ( this NEVER happened ) and notifying me that my account was delinquent. I called them and asked that, given the circumstances, they remove the late fees and interest charges. I have immaculate credit and, in more than a decade of doing business with their company, have never had an issue. In attempting to talk to someone about the problem I was repeatedly transferred to departments that had nothing to do with my problem or transferred to " nowhere ''. I finally sent a XXXX message and, again, beyond a courtesy acknowledgement of receipt of my message, I never receive any response from anyone. I have resolved the balance because a, I owe them and b, I care more about my credit than to continue to pursue this losing battle. However, I think someone should be made aware of the fact that they do not attempt to contact anyone until they 've racked up their share of fees and charges and, that a consumer attempting to talk to anyone about the situation is repeatedly thwarted in the most suspect manner. 

Thank you.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I have been applying through XXXX and similar sights for " XXXX XXXX '' positions. On XX/XX/2022, I received an email from " XXXX XXXX from XXXX '' claiming they had reviewed my resume and were interested in having me go through an online interview. Over the course of a few more emails they accepted me for hire, and sent me an Offer Letter which I signed and sent back. On the letter was a list of office equipment I was to acquire. He instructed me to print out a " Soft Check '' for {$4900.00}, which he had emailed to me. Once I mobile deposited the check and it cleared with Wells Fargo, the next day I made XXXX wire transfers, one being through XXXX. I continued to exchange emails with this person, as he explained my name needed to be on the check to acquire the office equipment after XXXX weeks of employment. I found this to be fishy, but everything had been so elaborate I went with it. And eventually the communication stopped, and I was left disputing the scam through Wells Fargo. After a month or so, Wells Fargo denied both wire and XXXX dispute, claiming that because I made the transaction, I was responsible and have to take the loss. I am searching for legal advice at the moment, as I believe Wells Fargo should have put a hold on the check for 10 business days. Because they cleared the check in one day I came to believe it was a good check.

I work very hard to pay my bills and I want very much to keep my student loan payments in good standing. I can not afford the XXXX a month payment Discover is requiring of me.

I have XXXX co-signers : my brother who is in the XXXX XXXX and can not afford these payments and my sister, who also can not as she is a stay-at-home-mom. I want to be in good standing. I want to work with Discover, but they refuse. This can not be how their business works : " Sorry, too bad, nothing we can do. ''

State: NY
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
I have a private loan serviced through Navient with an exorbitant interest fee ( nearly 10 % ). I have been paying the loan on time for over a year. The online portal is telling me that I am eligible for an interest rate deduction of 2 % since I have been making payments on-time ( SMART reward benefit ). It has been over a month since I became eligible for this reward and it still has not been applied to my account. I have emailed Navient and called Navient customer service over 3 times. Each time I am told a different story and that they need to " research '' if I am actually eligible for this reward. If my online account tells me I am eligible I do n't understand the disconnect/run-around of determining my actual eligibility. I would like a clear cut answer as to why these rewards are n't applied as soon as the borrower becomes eligible. It seems to me Navient is benefiting financially by postponing the application of this interest rate deduction at the expense of the borrower. This seems to be inappropriate loan servicing conduct and I would like this to be investigated.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My home loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX to SLS Services effective XXXX/XXXX/16. I have spoken with customer service representatives half a dozen times and sent repeated communications. 
1 ) They changed my monthly minimum when transferring my loan as they require 2 months reserve escrow rather than one month. This increases my monthly mortgage without my agreement and now creates a difficult situation to be able to pay the monthly amount. 
2 ) The continue to fail to credit my account for the monthly mortgage and rather apply it direct to principle despite paying timely payments and communications. They transferred the loan on XXXX/XXXX/16 and I did n't find out about the transfer until XX/XX/XXXX. Two payments were made in the original loan amount to my original mortgage company in the amounts of XXXX ( pay XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX effectively ). I spoke repeatedly with customer service and was told to pay XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and that will cover both the XX/XX/XXXX and any missing funds due to the change in monthly minimum due to the increase in escrow funds. I then paid XXXX XX/XX/XXXX which was intended to cover XX/XX/XXXX. They are still disputing that I am missing an entire monthly payment.

Company: Social Finance, Inc.
State: DC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Denied loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a student loan refinance application to Social Finance ( SoFi ) after receiving numerous prequalified notices/promotions. The refinance amount is {$65000.00}. 

I am a current federal employee, making $ XXXX annually, and have worked part-time at XXXX XXXX 25-30 hours a week for six months, equivalent to $ XXXX annually. I have a XXXX credit score. 

They denied my application because I can not provide proof of having worked two jobs for a minimum of two years, thus they disqualified my part-time income for consideration in approving my refinance. I spoke on the phone with two separate people at SoFi, one being a customer service representative, and another being the office of the CEO. 

I can not overstate how ridiculous, overburdensome, and income-based discriminatory these qualifications are. I AM ONE YEAR OUT OF XXXX XXXX. How on earth would I have proof of two years working two jobs. Second, income is income. I have provided sufficient documentation to verify my part time income, which is being scrutinized for how and where it is earned. This is clearly a biased financing practice and should not be condoned. Third, the fact that I have to work two jobs as a government employee just to afford student loans to get a job that REQUIRED A XXXX XXXX, should speak volumes and should not be used to disclude me from access to affordable refinancing options that I am overqualified for given my history and income. I should not be required to provide a co-signer when I have no red marks to my name.
