Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Paramount GR Holdings, LLC (NC)

I am filing a complaint regarding deceptive practices tied to a GoodLeap solar loan connected with the installation of a solar energy system through XXXX XXXX XXXX. The loan amount is {$53000.00}, which includes undisclosed fees amounting to approximately 33 %, significantly inflating the cost. These fees were hidden within the financing agreement and not properly disclosed during the sales process. 

XXXX XXXX, which managed the installation, has now filed for bankruptcy, voiding the promised 25-year warranty for parts, workmanship, and system maintenance. This has left me with unresolved issues, including roof leaks caused by the installation, without recourse for repairs under warranty. 

Recently, GoodLeap contacted me offering {$5000.00} in cash to increase my loan interest rate from 1.99 % to 5 %, which appears to be a predatory refinancing attempt. I believe this is part of a pattern of unethical financial practices similar to those identified in cases brought against GoodLeap and other solar lenders in Minnesota for hidden fees and deceptive lending. 

I request an investigation into these practices and assistance with canceling or adjusting my loan to reflect the fair market value and costs originally promised. Additionally, I ask for protection from further predatory lending actions and compensation for the loss of the promised warranty. 

You can use this version or tailor it slightly to match specific complaint forms. This covers the key elements of your case : hidden fees, lost warranty due to XXXX XXXX bankruptcy, unethical refinancing offers, and broader patterns of deceptive practices already being litigated in other states

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

On XXXX/XXXX/2016 at approximately XXXX ; I went to the remote kiosk Bank of America ATM XXXX XXXX ) in XXXX XXXX to deposit cash, as I frequently do at this ATM. I entered my card and pin #, deposited my {$250.00} cash ... then the screen went back to the home screen as if nothing had been done.The machine did not return my card nor provide me with a receipt. I immediately called the ATM hotline number XXXX XXXX ) listed on the bottom of kiosk to report the problem. The representative ( XXXX TX ) I spoke with acknowledged that there was problem and cited an error message. He then attempted to " refresh '' the machine remotely, with no success. He said he was dispatching a technician immediately, but it could take up to 4 hours. He did state he would note the issues and our conversation on my account.He said this type of this type of thing " happens all the time '' and not to worry. He did close the card lost in the ATM and ordered a new XXXX.However I was not comfortable with his cavalier attitude toward the problem at the ATM ; after all he was n't the XXXX loosing the {$250.00}, so I called back. I was placed on hold for 45min when I was finally connected with another customer service rep ( XXXX AK ) in the fraud department. She said there were no notes placed on my account of any issues nor was there a record of my deposit.It did not seam as if she understood the nature of my phone call ; I know this because she continually asked me for the card number of the card that was stuck in the ATM and kept making refence to a {$250.00} deposit I made on XXXX/XXXX/2016. However she did say she would take my statement and apply a credit while it was being researched. Again my confidence was low with her ability to notate the problem correctly, and rectify the situation. I was correct ... .I called the following morning and according to the customer service rep XXXX XXXX XXXX ) there was not claim started. Again I went through the entire scenario and I believe it was corrected at that point. Now three weeks later Bank of America is debiting my account {$250.00}, stating there was no problem with the ATM. Which is untrue ; my original contact at BoA ( XXXX ) said he could see the ATM was malfunctioning due to the error message signal he got after keying in XXXX, which corresponded to the ATM I used. 
The customer service at Bank of America has caused me many problems and money, and this is just the latest issue!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (KS)

Upon applying online for a XXXX Card through Synchrony Bank, I was asked for personally identifying information through what appears to be a XXXX Party Service/Credit Report Service. XXXX of the questions asked about my current property and asked for the date associated with it. None of the dates were even close - not even in the same year - and the only other answer was that I am not associated with this property, which is also incorrect. As there was no correct answer, I failed the identity test and was denied credit. I have a XXXX FICO score and have never been denied credit before in my life. 

I have called XXXX XXXX and Synchrony Bank. I have been transferred to numerous people, none of whom could help or even understand what I was talking about. I was transferred to the credit department and treated like I was a deadbeat. I have asked for a number at Corporate that could figure out who this Third Party provider is with the incorrect information. I have lodged a customer complaint that I do not expect to go anywhere. 

I have checked my credit card reports and the information about my mortgage shows the correct date - XXXX 2010. I also check my credit union and it too is correct. 

It is absolutely unacceptable for Synchrony Bank ... or any other financial institution ... to be using information to determine identity or credit worthiness without the proper support procedures put in place if such information is wrong. My credit report has been damaged due to denied credit and no one is taking any kind of accountability to assist in getting this erroneous information corrected.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA)

Received a phone message with message of intent to sue for non-payment. Multiple family members and friends received the exact same message with my name, at the exact same time that day. I was unaware of this debt, having thought it was included in our bankruptcy. Upon some research I was able to determine this debt was over 9 years old. I am unable to pay as I am the only working and my husband is out on a medical injury, soon expecting surgery. I am unable to make such a substantial payment, and they have indicated I need to do so within 48 hours or they will take me to court and I could 'lose everything '. When contacted, the company would not allow me to speak to any of the named individuals ( each family member gave me a name of who called, all were the same first name but different last name ) only telling me that, that person was not available. I got the distinct feeling no such person existed.The number came up on everyones phone as blocked or restricted, however the number was quickly mentioned on the phone message.

I have been directed by both XXXX ( first servicer ) and Navient ( originally XXXX and XXXX ) into forbearance since my loans became due six months after graduating from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, due to my unemployment. Since my loans shifted from XXXX and XXXX over to Navient I have had nothing but misinformation. I was recently granted forbearance on all my loans for what I thought was a period of one year ( XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX loans, and XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX others ), this is what I applied for. Just yesterday I received an email saying they were going into repayment in XX/XX/XXXX. I log in to my account XXXX loans are saying due XX/XX/XXXX and the other XXXX are due XXXX! Yet, the first XXXX are showing under the details in forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX, if they 're in forbearance how is a payment due this XX/XX/XXXX??? The other XXXX are showing in forbearance until XXXX, again how is a payment due XXXX if forbearance does n't end until XX/XX/XXXX ( which, again is not even the date I requested )?! I am thoroughly confused by this information, and I feel it is intentional to mislead. I have tried contacting Navient concerning this and they ca n't give me a straight answer. I am terrified this is going to destroy my credit which I rely upon for employment in my field. I will attach screen shots from their site showing the inconsistency in information from one page to the next, and between the mobile and desktop site.

BMW Financial Services Account opened in XXXX at payment of $ XXXX60 months. 

In XXXX of XX/XX/XXXXaccount was at 60 days past due and facing repossession. Requested deferments to get account back on track but was denied. Vehicle was recovered in XX/XX/XXXX by BMW Financial and sold at auction. Total deficiency balance was {$2100.00} The {$2100.00} balance had shown as recent as XX/XX/XXXX on my credit. After that, the entire line item disappeared with no trace of BMW Financial ever occurring. There was no amount being reported and furthermore, no payment history whatsoever of any sort. On XXXX XXXX, a check in the amount of {$470.00} was issued to me with a reason of " miscellaneous. '' As of today I have spoken with a Sr. Recovery Agent at BMW Financial who informed me that the {$470.00} was for over payment. When questioning this as to why I would receive a check back if I still owed anything, I was told that a recent internal audit had determined that my account may not have been handled in accordance with all laws and in order to prevent anything in the future, BMW Financial went through the motions of removing all trade lines from my credit profile as well as to post a credit to my account in the amount of +/- {$2600.00} resulting in me receiving refund of {$470.00}. When asking for further information in regards to the accounting errors found in the audit, I was informed that I was not entitled to anymore information. When questioning why the line item was removed from my credit report, I was told that BMW Financial is not required to report to any of the credit bureaus. Furthermore I was told that I should be grateful BMW has not reported anything whatsoever on my credit going forward.

Having qualified for a {$5000.00} " pay-for-performance '' Home Affordable Modification Program principal reduction, I filled out and promptly returned the appropriate Dodd-Frank certification form XXXX provided by my loan servicer by certified mail. I retain the company 's representative 's signed and dated return receipt as proof that the form was delivered within the time period allowed for applying to receive the incentive. I became eligible for this incentive on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, however, my account was not credited until XXXX XXXX, XXXX. After subsequent phone calls to the service provider to inquire why I had n't received the {$5000.00} principal reduction in a timely manner, I was informed by the loan servicer on several occassions that it had yet to receive payment from the U.S. Treasury. The issue was not addressed by the loan servicer until I contacted the Housing Council on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to ask for help resolving this dispute for non-payment of incentive. The loan servicer sent me a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating it was conducting research on the dispute. A subsequent letter from the loan servicer dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stated, " Unfortunately, the Form XXXX you returned last fall was misidentified upon its receipt. Consequently, its receipt was not reported to the US Treasury, which caused the Year 6 incentive not to be paid by the government ... we apologize for any dissatisfaction this matter has caused. '' How is it possible to misidentify this FORM XXXX? I allege that the servicer was grossly negligent in its processing, and believe that this company willfully committed fraud for financial gain by preventing me for eight months to recast my loan, thus lowering the loan principal which would have resulted in less interest paid to the lender. Furthermore, I was further harmed by having to wait for the principal reduction because during that period of time, I could have taken advantage of lower interest rates by refinancing this loan.

I rented a house with 3 other individuals from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA in the year XXXX, 2 of the roomates left before the lease was up so I was forced to leave because I could not pay the rent alone with the 1 roomate who was left. I made several attempts to contact property management to explain what happened and return the keys.

We returned to court a second time, the property manager reported the house was in good condition and he dropped the law suit without prejudice. Months later I am being charged for over {$10000.00} in damages to the home. I tried resolving the problem with the original company and they claim to not have my file and neither do their corporate office. I then went straight to XXXX and sent my supporting court documents of the results of the case and they were able to remove the collection. I attempted to also dispute with XXXX but they are claiming they can not do anything, that I need to have the company remove it from my credit report, even though i explained to XXXX that I have already made numerous attempts to do so with no success. I am at a loss of what options i have left to remove this from my credit. Thank you for your time.

I was erroneous offered a HAMP Modification. The lender accepted my payments and then contacted me and advised me of their error. They told me XXXX other loans were also given these modifications in error and they were working to resolve the error and find alternative modifications. They then sent me another trial modification which I completed XX/XX/2015. At that time they contacted me and let me know there was a problem with my title that was preventing the final permanent modification. They then let me know that was resolved and I would be receiving final documents any day. They kept requesting additional payments, which I always sent. My final communication with the lender was on XXXX/XXXX/15 in which they told me permanent documents would be arriving by the end of the month. I received a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 which informed me that they were transferring my loan effective XXXX/XXXX/15. They have taken at least 6 payments from me promising that each payment was leading to a permanent modification which appears to be a lie. They should not be allowed to transfer my loan prior to correcting their many errors and providing my permanent modification as promised.
