Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (GA)

I leased a vehicle from Kia Motors Finance in XX/XX/XXXX, i paid over {$3000.00} as a " due at signing '' amount and the lease term was for 3 years and 3 months with XXXX miles. The vehicle was due to be turned back in by XX/XX/XXXX. I returned the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX in excellent condition ( i have a condition report with pictures done by a licensed company used by Kia ), with just over XXXX miles. I made the agreed on monthly payments of {$350.00} per month for the entire lease period, never late with payments. Now Kia Motors is saying i owe them {$400.00} as a " turn in '' fee and the XXXX cent is for over mileage. The " turn in '' fee is because i did not lease another vehicle or purchase a new vehicle. When i leased the vehicle back in XXXX, i knew nothing about a " turn in '' fee. I spoke to a representative at Kia today name XXXX at around XXXX XXXX  who informed me that the " turn in '' fee and excess mileage cost of XXXX cent could not be waived under any circumstance. At the time that i turned in the vehicle i had just gotten out of the hospital with a XXXX XXXX, and i am still ill and unable to work, this can be documented. I do not wish my credit rating to be negatively affected by this mark, particularly since i have such a good record of making on time payments for the vehicle. I think it is a ripoff for Kia or any dealer to charge the consumer for returning a leased car, simply because the consumer does not choose to lease again or to buy a new vehicle from them, and particularly during this Covid-19 crisis. I am a senior citizen.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NV)

I purchased a pet through XXXX. In order to purchase the pet the same day, I applied for a credit card. When I applied, I was told that there would be no interest charges on the balance and that the balance would continue to go down as I paid. I agreed to apply and accept the credit card mainly for this reason as I planned to pay it off in a couple of months. My documentation that I signed does not have any APR % listed nor did I receive any documents stating I would be incurring interest charges. In addition, the rep at the store specifically stated that i would not be charged interest so I assumed this was like and " in-house '' credit card owned by XXXX. When I received my first bill, I paid the minimum amount but the 2nd bill came back with interest charges. I contacted the credit card company on or around XX/XX/2020 after receiving my 2nd bill and noticing the additional charges and that my payment hadnt been fully applied to my balance. The rep I spoke to said that the only way that I would not be charged interest is if they had applied a promotion on the card. This was after I informed them that the store rep told me that I wouldn't be charged interest and my docs do not list anything regarding interest charges. I also stated that I was never given a time frame for no interest charges after the rep informed me that the promotions only last for 12 months. So I filed a formal complaint which they stated would be investigated. They pretty much took about 2 weeks to " investigate '' and tell me that I had to pay interest charges. They stated that " my  purchase did NOT QUALIFY TO BE PLACED ON A PROMOTIONAL PLAN ''! THIS IS PRETTY CONVENIENT AS NO ONE EXPLAINED ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT, HOW, OR WHY A PLAN WOULD QUALIFY FOR A PROMOTION AS NO PROMOTION PLAN WAS EVER EVEN MENTIONED, ONLY THAT THERE WERE NO INTEREST CHARGES!! MY ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT THIS COMPANY PRACTICED DECEPTIVE AND FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. THEY SHOULD NOT BE INFORMING CUSTOMERS OF ONE THING AND THEN CHANGING TERMS TO ANOTHER. I WAS TOLD I WOULDN'T BE CHARGED INTEREST SO I SHOULDN'T BE AND WOULD LIKE THE INTEREST CHARGES AND PAYMENTS TO BE REFUNDED TO ME. XXXX   AND COMENITY BANK ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED! I wish I never had purchased from them or signed up for this credit card. I will definitely be paying this off this month and closing this account.

Good day. I would like to reach out to you guys to seek help regarding my account. I am hoping you could spare some mercy as to what we are all experiencing. Amidst this worldwide crisis that we are facing, I lost my job due to company shutdowns and community lockdowns because of this I was able to miss payments and be late on them. Since XXXX our company where I worked with became unstable due to the Corona Virus that is fast spreading and since then production and services were cut off to save profit. Not long they cut down manpower too and unluckily I was a part of it.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (OH)

Back in 2016 I asked to be waive my XXXX XXXXXXXX  XXXX  status and submitted the paperwork. I was told it was processed through their internal messaging system. I later asked to cancel the waiver and they sent me the form. However, since this current reconsideration/review effort has been going on I've learned they never applied the waiver. This leaves me with 2.5 years of uncounted payments. I wanted them to count because I was in a XXXX dollar payment period because I was on XXXX from my employer while I completed my degree. They switched from sending me documents via email to an internal messaging system that they control and leaves no to a very short time-limited paper trial for me. I have complained to them for years about their handling and was assigned one person to speak to at one point. They do have some records or those conversations and actions but apparently not all. FedLoan Servicing is deceitful! They put me into deferral/forbearance when I didn't want to be because it would hurt me when I was in favorable payment range. I repeatedly asked where I could go to file a complaint and they never directed me to CFPB they just said they are the servicer the government chose for PSLF program. When I consolidated my loans I was not told the payments previously made would no longer count until after it was done. When I asked them to count them under the current initiative they didn't until I provided information my old servicer provided. I was fortunate old servicer still had the information. They never helped me verify my employment dates from previous employer that failed to sign or the state hospital that had closed. Their handling has been a hinderance of my financial freedom and impedes my motivation to trust what any of the representatives say. I do have some documentation to support my assertions.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (WA)

My home of 20+ years is scheduled for foreclosure on XX/XX/2020. 
Although my payments were behind prior to the Covid Pandemic - In XXXX of this year, I had finally resolved a discrepancy between my employers Insurance and myself and a settlement was in the works to include timeloss benefits and approval for my XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I felt certain I could keep my home and stay current on my payments, if a Modification were approved. 
Then Covid 19 shut down everything - My Lawyer, Insurance, medical and there was nothing i could do - My Attorneys office and I have just recently started talking again, but the prediction of resuming a settlement is now for sometime in XXXX. 
My Mortgage company gave me 30days written notice of foreclosure ( XX/XX/2020 ). I have tried contacting them nearly everyday but they are unreachable. 
- we set up 2 telephone conferences The first they claim they had my wrong phone number despite the many emails ive written correcting them, to include the email confirming our phone apt., and ive had this number for over a year. 
The 2nd phone apt., I waited by the phone for an hour - they never called! Finally I sent them an email asking why and never got a response. 
- The many emails i have sent, requesting a meeting so that i could explain how Covid has halted my progress along with some ideas and questions as to how i may save my home go unanswered. ( i.e. adding a family member to the note and/or modification or forebearance ). 
WHY cant I at least get some answers. 
I am trying very hard to save my home and feel as tho i am being ignored intentionally.

I opened a XXXX XXXX account though XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. I was making payments on time but then fell behind. I received a letter in the mail in XX/XX/XXXX saying they were offering me a settlement offer for {$1600.00}. I called around XX/XX/XXXX to agree to the offer. I gave them the payment information and they processed the payment. The payment came out of my bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a confirmation number and was told my account would be closed and that it would show up on my credit report as paid in full by less than full amount. 

A few weeks after I paid the settlement amount, I received a bill in the mail saying I owed a monthly payment of over {$400.00}. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX XXXX card, spoke to a man named XXXX and asked why I was still receiving payment notification letters after I already settled the account. I was told that it would take about 21 days to close the account and disregard any future emails or bills and I'll receive a letter in 21 days. 

I kept receiving bills and email notifications and noticed that on my credit report it was showing delinquent and affecting my score. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the XXXX XXXX card again this time being more stern in my approach telling them that the account was settled and that it was suppose to be closed 21 days after XX/XX/XXXX and I'm still getting bills. The man named XXXX transferred me to an Account manager named XXXX, who apologized for everything and said she would send an email stating the account is closed and has been settled and would take care of the credit reporting issue too. She mentioned she would call me back in 1-2 days to let me know the status of everything. 

My problem with this whole situation is that it don't seem there's communication being relayed and that my credit has been taking a good hit. 

If there's anything you could do, that would be awesome! 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX

I was recently going to check out a new car at XXXX. After carefully consideration I decided to apply for a loan for this car. Moments later I was declined for a lower interest rate and approved for an extremely high interest rate. Which promoted me to check my credit report. After doing so I notice a couple of items on my report that are not mine. These items need to be deleted from my credit report.

I happen to apply for credit last week- the week of XX/XX/2022. Instead of getting the instant answer I expected I instead got a denial letter with the reason being that I had no Credit Score? This was surprising because I have a credit score and have bank accounts as well as credit cards that have low balances. 

Later that same week I tried to open a Checking account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  here where I live in XXXXXXXX XXXX. I have had a checking account at my old bank in XXXX XXXX for over 15 years where my Social Security  XXXX XXXX goes along with a pension check. When I went to open the checking account in XXXX XXXX  with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that asked for my ID info. I also showed the staff my Checks from the XXXX account and a Credit card along with my Drivers License from XXXX XXXX. After a couple of minutes the young lady at the bank suddenly Gasoed out loud and told me I came up as Deceased?? I told her that I was clearly not since I was sitting in front of her with numerous pieces of ID. She indicated that she could not open the account at this time but would take my phone number and call me. Neither she nor anyone at XXXX XXXX XXXX called me. After having this happen I investigated further by obtaining my Free Credit reports from all three major credit reporting agencies. I was able to get XXXX XXXX XXXX but ran into a proble with Equafax. I did not get the free credit report but was directed to contact them ASAP. I did not call. This error of having me listed as Deceased cause me to not be able to get credit where I wanted too and also prevented me from even opening a checking account. I did suffer real ha from this error.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX PDT, I called Barclays customer service and spoke to XXXX ( ID # XXXX ) to understand my trip cancellation insurance benefit and to make sure that my upcoming trip that I was thinking about canceling due to the coronavirus outbreak would be covered. She confirmed that it would and I should call the same number and they will start a claim process and I should have the refund within 7-10 days. So that night I cancelled my trip and called your customer service the next day, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX PDT and spoke to XXXX ( ID # XXXX  ). He directed me to the department ( XXXX ) that handles the claims and I gave them all the information they requested. I was told I would get an e-mail within 3-4 business days ( Ref # XXXX ) I never got an e-mail and after waiting for a week when I called in I got a response that XXXX doesn't handle this claim and I should call Barclays. When I call Barclays, they say I should speak to XXXX and this loop has continued with no one actually listening to what I'm saying or helping, they just keep repeating the same thing as if reading from a script. I then contacted the Barclays Executive Office and received a call from XXXX ( Ext XXXX ) and she said she will look into the matter and call me back within a week. I never got a call from her, so I called her on XX/XX/XXXX and left her a voicemail - again no call back or response of any kind. I was told by XXXX that if nothing works I should open up a dispute and that would take care of it so on XX/XX/XXXX, I opened up a dispute and the charges were reversed. Now on XX/XX/XXXX, more than two months after this ordeal, i get a letter saying that they have rebilled my account. Again, when I called the dispute line they are clueless and just repeat the same canned lines over and over.
