Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about my balance/terms

Complaint:
I have loans being serviced by Myfedloan. I am in an Income based repayment plan and have outstanding interest, which according to the IBR does not capitalize unless I no longer qualify or change plans. This year when I renewed my IBR, Myfedloan first claimed I no longer qualified, and then later that same day approved my IBR renewal. I happened to catch this because I was watching my loan closely. When they denied my renewal the interest capitalized and did not go back to interest with the subsequent approval. This seems like a very sneaky way of forcing interest to capitalize and, while this could have been a one off mistake, if it is being done systematically it needs to stop.

I sent it back to them to fix and then the seller claimed they never received the money from Discover.

I have all the proof and documentation, please, let me know if you want to see it. 
I already filed the report with you, Discover replied with a bunch of lies and you closed the case without notifying me or letting me provide all the proof. Now you owe me an explanation why I should pay for the item I have not received and how are they allowed to ruin my perfect credit report after trying to steal money from me.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I had a auto loan with Wells Fargo Dealer Services for a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. I traded the XXXX in for another XXXX and the trade-in dealer requested a payoff quote from Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX. I had a payment due to Wells Fargo by XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX. After completing the transaction for the new vehicle the XXXX paid Wells Fargo over {$40000.00} for the payoff on the XXXX on or before XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I get a call from Wells Fargo saying that I had a past due balance of {$46.00} that was 20 days past due. My next payment would n't have been due until XX/XX/XXXX. I told the Wells Fargo servicing rep that she received a payment of {$40000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and there is no way that I have a balance past due. If the payoff was short that is XXXX thing but nothing is past due. She advised me that they do n't count the {$40000.00} payment that came in on the loan when considering past due amounts which is totally ridiculous. The rep at Wells Fargo 's name was XXXX and her ID was XXXX. She was rude and refused to answer my questions or pass me to someone who could have further dialogue about the incorrect past due balance. She intentionally made false statements in her communication with me in an attempt to collect the remaining {$46.00} dollars outstanding on the payoff of the vehicle.

Complaint:
Why are we still allowing banks to allow charges to go through when our balance is XXXX? And then charge up to five times in the same day overdraft fees? This is a predatory practice by Wells Fargo. The online balance does n't update, they play a shell game with your charges to cause you to fall below your actual balance. Now I find they can cash post dated checks. If it 's my bank, my account, why am I the only one out of control? Anyone who wants my money gets it and I am forced to take a loan? Banks are syphining money from the working poor and they treat us like we do n't matter! I was charged {$120.00} for a total of {$80.00} worth of charges? Loan sharks do n't charge more tha.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
I had a car loan from capital one auto that was charged off in early XXXX. I entered in a settlement agreement in late XXXX to payoff {$2500.00} at {$150.00} a month. Capital one auto never updated my credit file with any of XXXX reporting agencies to reflect the new status. When i called capital one auto, they stated that they would not report the " true '' status until it was paid off. This is a clear violation of the consumer trust by refusing to report a positive status to the credit reporting agencies as away to maintain power over the consumer. I repeatedly asked them to update, they would not. Finally, i told them that i could no longer pay and they immediately reported my charged off account as 'delinquent '. They would not report a positive status but wasted no time in reporting a negative update which has harshly impacted my credit. This is a predatory practice and they should be sanctioned.

Issue: Other

Complaint:
I opened an American Express XXXX rewards account back in 2011. Recently, American Express sold the XXXX loan portfolio to XXXX due to XXXX dropping American Express at their stores. When I recently viewed my credit bureau report with XXXX, American Express is failing to accurately report my credit history from XXXX to XXXX. Specifically, they are not reporting my monthly balance, my monthly payment, or how I paid the account. When I went on XXXX 's XXXX page, others are reporting the same problem. Many are stating their credit scores have dropped by XXXX-XXXX points. Mine has dropped as well. American Express should accurately report the customer 's credit history despite the loan transferring to XXXX. It seems like a really manipulative way to get back at XXXX for not renewing their contract. While I have filed a dispute with XXXX, I believe the Consumer Financial Protection bureau should be made aware of the situation anyhow. Plus, American Express should report my credit history accurately on all XXXX of my credit bureaus. Lowering my credit score could cause me and other consumers to pay higher amounts in interest on future loans.

Complaint:
I have a complaint against Wells Fargo Bank. 

I gave XXXX my bank account number and routing number to withdraw money on a certain day. 

When that day came, I did not have money in my account. Wellsfargo charged me {$35.00} for not having money. XXXX tried to take money from my accoutn continuoisly every day. It has caused XXXX to XXXX times {$35.00}. When I called Wells Fargo, they refused to refund the whole fee. I earn $ XXXX as a XXXX. Paying {$140.00} out of my meager income in Wells fargo fees is over whelming. 

The bank is practicing lack of compassion and poor judgement in this punitive act. 

Please have Wells Fargo refund the {$140.00} to me. Thank you.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I received a debt collection letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC. I do not know how this company is and I have no contract with them.

I request the itemization of the current so called debt amount, and the current debt amount.

State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I signed up to M and T auto draft on XXXX/XXXX/2015. The purpose of auto draft was for M and T to automatically draft my payments for my mortgage. M and T sent me an email thanking me for signing up for the service on XXXX/XXXX/2015. The email stated that I did not need to reply and I received no further correspondence in regards to the auto draft. All bill notices I receive from M and T indicate that if I am signed up for auto draft, the bill will be automatically paid. I have attached those emails. 

On XXXX/XXXX/2015 a letter was sent to me indicating that I could lose my home due to failure to make payments. I immediately contacted the bank after receiving the letter and made the payment of the phone. I wanted to dispute the late charges as I felt it was due to an M and T error/ miscommunication. I also wanted confirmation that it was not reported to the credit bureaus as the late payments were due to M and T not auto drafting. The person on the phone said they could not do that. I asked how I could follow up on that and the rep on the phone stated I could write a letter or go to a branch. 

I went into the branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX NY XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/2015. In the branch I reviewed my concerns and made the above requests. This was escalated to the branch manager and they said they would look into it. I also asked to file a formal complaint and for documentation on M and T banks complaint procedure. The representatives stated that they could not provide this to me and that I could not file a complaint in person in the branch. 

I am at an absolute loss for what to do and I feel bullied by misinformation and apathy by M and T bank. They have a large amount of control over their customer 's lives and must be accountable for their actions. It is a simple case of an error that they made and they have done nothing to help fix it. 

I am requesting the fees to be waived, documentation that they did not contact any of the credit reporting agencies and for them to make filing a complaint easy so that issues can be identified and addressed. I would also like to be pointed in the direction of where I can locate my rights as a consumer when it comes to being able to file complaints with banking institutions. I have dealt with an unnecessary amount of anxiety over this issue with no assistance from the bank holding my mortgage.
