Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MS)

I took out a private loan with Sallie Mae ( Navient ) on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$53000.00} to attend the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

During the last phase of my school, the school lost accreditation and the school was quietly sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

After graduation the school 's president XXXX XXXX XXXX was convicted on federal fraud and tax evasion charges. Using student tuition to pay off house repairs, personal shopping bills, and gambling debts. Eventually the school closed I believe in XXXX making the backing of my technical degree invalid. 

During multiple instances I attempted to forbear my loan, which they did not offer, being unable to make anything but interest only payments not wanting my loan to default. Entering forbearance in XXXX of XXXX where I continued to struggle to make payments. 

Eventually there was the SWEET settlement offering cancellation to those who attended such for profit institutions like the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX University and many, many others. The criteria being the dates, the schools and the loans being in default. 

My account balance has not reduced at all with my loan, instead it has gone up to {$58000.00} while I continue to struggle to make the interest only {$390.00} dollar payments. 

It seems as if that due to my attempts to keep my loan out of default, I am now ineligible for any sort of Loan forgiveness by Navient, even though the school has closed making my degree invalid, and the former president of the school was convicted of federal fraud and financial crimes. 

This, in my opinion is an egregious oversight on loan forgiveness and the crimes committed by the institution I attended.

These accounts were never mine!

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

I tried refinancing a mortgage with Wells Fargo In 2021. The property was moved into a trust, and wells assured me they could lend on a trust-owned property. After almost 10 months of invasive document requests, and several rounds of updates they finally told me they cant lend against trust owned properties. 

XXXX had initially tried to convince me not to refinance elsewhere because they told me they would likely not be able to get me a XXXX to forgive the mortgage tax on the original loan amount ( on which mortgage tax was already paid ). But since they wouldnt do the loan in the end, I ended up moving the loan to another bank and paying the mortgage tax again in full with the new loan because wells did NOT provide the XXXX. That cost me roughly {$16000.00} on the {$800000.00} original loan. I think what they did was wrong and dishonest and Id like to be reimbursed for a mortgage tax I shouldnt not have had to pay twice. Thank you

Coinbase advertises that their debit card holders can withdraw money from most ATM machines and the only fee is the ATM fee.

Upon attempting the withdraw my account with charged for the {$900.00} but the money didn't come out of the ATM. When I contacted customer support 30 minutes after the withdraw they assured me the money had already been credited back to my account but it wasn't showing up. Coinbase has never denied that the money didn't come out of the ATM. 

It is now XX/XX/XXXX when I am writing this complaint. I have spent 7 hours+ on the phone with their customer support in over 20 different phone calls. They refuse to help me, their support is constantly hanging up on me even though I'm calm. I have been back and forth with emails 15 times or so and they are incompetent and refuse to look at my account to verify if what I'm telling them is true. It is the worst company I've ever done business with, let alone a financial company.

On XX/XX/2022, we sent by certified mail a letter from our attorney to US Bank stating to a change of our beneficiary to our new XXXX dated XX/XX/2022. On XX/XX/2022 we received a call from US Bank for more information. We told him what needed to be done and he said he would talk to the legal team and call us back XX/XX/2022. No call back from them. We called on XX/XX/2022 to find out if this was taken care of for the trust and were told our account would have to be closed first and reopened under a new account number. US Bank will charge us {$570.00} penalty for early withdrawal plus a {$30.00} fee for our {$19000.00} XXXX. We said these have got to be a mistake ; but she insisted this was right. All we wanted to do is just to change our beneficiary to our Trust. There was no way around it. At this point we were so frustrated and told her to send us the money and will not be returning to US Bank again. We had accounts with them for as long as they were open in XXXX XXXX, XXXX  some 20-30 years. 

What can we do now to get some compensation for these outrages penalties?

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

In the month of XXXX, XXXX, there were several unauthorized transfers from my Chase Bank checking and saving account to a company called XXXX. Chase Bank did not notify me at all with these transactions neither did I authorize XXXX to transfer those money. So when I first found out about it in XXXX, XXXX, I reported the claim to Chase Bank. They took a month-long investigation then gave me the info of the company. I tried to resolve the issues from both banks, but none of them wanted to be responsible. 

Here 's what Chase Bank failed to do to protect my funds as their customer : 1. Failed to notify me asap through physical mails or e-mails about the unauthorized transactions. 
2. Failed to refund me the monthly service fees in whole which they continued to charge me when both of my checking and saving accounts were being emptied.

3. Failed to alert me asap when there were unusual activities on my account.

4. Failed to do their due diligence for the investigation. I had to push them to tell me who the recipient of the funds was. Otherwise, all the details weren't provided in their investigation paper. 

Because of Chase Bank 's negligence, I couldn't report and close the account asap. There was zero notification from them, and they avoided talking about that subject matter and blamed me, their customer, for not protecting the data myself. 

If they were to notify me on time, I could have stopped and reported the illegal activities instead of being responsible for the loss.

- XX/XX/XXXX My card was charged {$160.00} by flohocky. 

- XX/XX/XXXX I disputed this fraudulent charge as I didn't have and never had an account with flohockey. While reviewing my account I discovered another previous fradulent charge from flohocky on XX/XX/XXXX for {$140.00} and disputed this at the same time. 

After I had disputed the charges I was also advised to contact flohockey. Their customer service was unhelpful and they told me since I disputed the charge they couldn't do anything about it. I looked up flohocky on the better business bureau and saw they have a F rating. Apparently I am not the only one they are ripping off. 

- XXXX XXXX Discover card reversed the dispute for both charges and reapplied the charges to my account. 

- XXXX, XXXX, XXXX I noticed that the fraudulent charges had been reapplied to my account back in XXXX. I immediately called to find out how that was possible. I was told they would reopen the dispute for the XXXX and once that was resolved they would work on the XXXX charge too. I was told they would follow up with me as to the results of their investigation. 

- XX/XX/XXXX After not hearing anything from Discover card I looked into my account to see the fraudulent {$160.00} reapplied to my account again and spent nearly an hour and a half talking to XXXX different people trying to get these fraudulent charges resolved. I asked what evidence they had that these charges were not fraud. The answer I got was that they had my wife 's name ( authorized account user ) and card information so they viewed them as legitimate charges. I explained that neither myself nor my wife ever signed up for flohockey service nor did we ever provided them with the account information. A charge not authorized by myself or my wife pretty much seems like fraud to me. We don't know how they got the card information.
