Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (VA)

While I was in XXXX, I ordered cable and Internet services with XXXX ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received XXXX XXXX and transferred to my new XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX VA since I work for the XXXX  XXXX XXXX as an XXXX XXXX. I requested from XXXX for the Services to be transferred from XXXX to XXXX VA. The customer service representative advised me to keep the equipment until I moved to my new residence. After moving, I called to setup service at my new residence in XXXX VA but quickly discovered that XXXX doesnt service the area. So I had to cancel the service and returned all of the equipment. The XXXX representative confirmed that services couldnt be offered at my new residence and informed me that the early termination fee would be waived on my final bill. After receiving the final bill, I paid everything but the {$250.00} early termination fee that was supposed to have been credited. XXXX applied my payment to the early termination fee on the final bill instead of the amount owed for cable and internet services at previous residence in XXXX during last part of the billing cycle in XX/XX/XXXX. Then to add insult to injury, XXXX referred my account to a debt collection agency SW Credit Systems LP even though the account was in fact paid in full. SW Credit Systems LP has been calling me day and night to collect for a debt that I dont even owe and to make matters worse, they reported the bogus debt to the three credit reporting agencies which caused my security clearance with the XXXX  XXXX XXXX to be suspended. Ive called XXXX numerous times and I was told that they would contact SW Credit Systems LP to resolve the matter and get them to remove the derogatory mark on my credit report so that my security clearance can be restored. Ive also requested from SW Credit Systems LP to remove the unjustified derogatory mark from my credit report and each time they refused. In the meantime, I can not work my normal job without a security clearance. Ive sustained damages well over {$10000.00}.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (MI)

I received my XX/XX/XXXX credit card account billing from PNC Bank. I made one purchase, on my credit card, in the amount of {$20.00} and they charged me interest of {$.00}. But I noticed they also charged me a minimum interest charge of {$1.00}. When I called PNC and inquired about the {$1.00} I was told that this is company policy. So because I didn't meet their policy of at least purchasing and amount on the card to cover the {$1.00} they charged me, at a profit for PNC of {$1.00}, in which I received no benefit what so ever. 

I was so irritated by the reason I got from their representative that I closed the account. How is PNC getting away with this when they charge you extra money when the consumer gets no benefit as to purchasing an item on their card? 

I wouldn't have noticed the charge if I had not looked at my bill from XX/XX/2018 closer then I usually do. I would assume that other PNC customers are not noticing the minimum charge and that is why I am complaining both for myself and other customers as well. 

And I did not appreciate the representative 's quote of, " It is company policy. '' How many times have I heard that when a customer has a complaint. 

Anyway my complaint ; as to how PNC gets away with charging a minimum interest and if you don't reach the minimum interest charge you still have to pay them interest with no purchases on my part. And it is all profit on the bottom line for PNC. And what if you don't use the card for a certain billing month they still charge you {$1.00}? 

I have a couple of charge cards that do not have a minimum charge and I will continue to use them.

Company: Harpeth Financial Services, LLC (TN)

I have already made payments of more than double the amount borrowed. I have had NO contact with or from this company since  XXXX  or  XXXX   XXXX , at which time I disputed interest charges & wanted a new settlement of the account & they indicated that they would credit my account & I was considered paid in full as I indicated I was going to consult an attorney or file complaints.   On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  a call was made to my employer when I was not there & a message was left that " I 'd better call..

I am being sued for much more than I originally  borrowed ( & alre ady paid off ) plus legal fees, court costs & process server costs.There is NO other attached documentation on this summons. Prior to this I have NOT gotten any letter, etc., that would allow me to dispute and/or dem and the customary debt validation, along with the associated waiting period. I suspect that Harpeth d  ba/ Advance Financial has sold off this loan & the attorney will have a " flimsy sworn acct. '' as " proof '' from Advance.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (TN)

Navient took over my student loan in early  XXXX  ( late   XXXX   ). When they called, they asked that I make a payment at that time. I explained that I was making payments for my school, my daughter 's, and paying on my husband 's tuition. I was granted a deferment for a period of several months.
<P/>
During the process, I kept the representative on the phone for over an hour, asking many questions and verifying that I would not be taken advantage of by this company again. I was even told that the conversation was recorded. I had previously had a bad experience with Navient 's partner and predecessor,   XXXX   XXXX  , who stole several thousand dollars from me, doubled my debt, and sold my account after I proved the theft by providing 20 consecutive checks ( they only asked for 10, but I had several more ).
<P/>
Well before the deferment was up, Navient again contacted me asking for money. When I asked about the deferment, I was told that I only had a 10 day forbearance. I spoke to " managers '' and other departments who stated that they ONLY give 10 day forbearances. When I argued that they were lying to me and demanded that they play back the recording, I was placed on hold for over half an hour, only for a " manager '' to return and state that they decided NOT to listen to the recording and that I just needed to pay the extensive late fees. I KNOW they played back the recording and are refusing to admit guilt. At the time fees were over {$200.00}, now they are over {$400.00}. Since then, I have spoken with dozens of managers and contacted the Ombudsman, my congressman, and my governor 's office. All of which have contacted Navient. Navient 's only response has been that they will defer the payments, but they still want the now nearly {$500.00} in late fees. I have not paid them anything because of the late fees and have stated many times on the record that I will pay once they remove the erroneous fees that they charged me. They are clearly refusing to correct the problem by running up the debt with fees, so they can say that I never paid, but paying an erroneous debt is an admission of guilt and will allow them to legally keep the overpayment. This feels like another attempt by the same company to steal money from me. They DELIBERATELY deceived me into believing that I had a deferment, only to charge late fees on the account and are now refusing to correct the issue again.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (GA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my card account with American Express. I noticed that they had lowered my credit limit from {$11000.00} to {$3800.00}, and I was confused as to why. When I called in, I spoke to a XXXX who then transferred me to XXXX. When I spoke with XXXX, he then read a script saying that they checked my credit report with XXXX and reevaluated my relationship. Based upon what they found, they decided that it was best to lower my credit limit. I expressed to XXXX that I had several problems with this. First, my account with them has NEVER been late. I have been a member since XXXX, and I have never missed a payment on any of my accounts. Second, my credit is excellent and my income is also great. I also find it very odd that they decided to do this after they denied me for another credit card ( I submitted an application four days ago for it ). I almost feel as if I am being punished for asking for an additional card, even though I have excellent history with them. This situation is humiliating and as a result of them lowering my available credit line, it looks as if I am maxing out my credit cards with them which will impact my credit score negatively. There has to be some type of protection for someone in my situation, and the representative was not helpful. I am trying to purchase another home next year, and I feel that this will impact my ability to qualify.
