Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC (MI)

My XXXX  brother ( XXXX XXXX ) and I went into the FlagStar Branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MI XXXX. The teller was squirming with discomforts of discrimination. He did not want to help us, never spoke or assisted in a friendly way. My XXXX  brother received a money order from our grandparents to cash for a birthday gift of {$50.00}. The teller kept taking forever, got up and went to speak to the branch manager like he needed help cashing the money order. Keep in mind that there was enough money in the account to cover the {$50.00} transaction being cashed. Teller finally came back and entered what we thought was {$50.00} but gave my baby brother {$250.00} in hand and deposited {$100.00} into the account. 

Long story short, the Teller entered the {$50.00} money order as {$350.00}. Not only did he hand my brother {$250.00}, but later made it seem as if my brother was trying to defraud them. It's obvious the teller was going to try making this transaction a way for them to get over on my XXXX  brother who is a XXXX. I'm only on the account for the purpose of him having an account for his job, which received direct deposits. 

A week later, they began calling my XXXX  brother about the transaction that was done and my Mother and I got on the phone to let them know that this was purposely done by their teller. My brother thought that he was giving him extra money from his account that had already been in there. The representative made apology of the bank teller doing this and stated that there was nothing that they could do other than request the money back from my baby brother who had already spent the money. 

I'm involved because now this has been reported on my credit and is affecting my score tremendously. I have just started building my credit and I was at a XXXX, now I'm in the low XXXX XXXX because of this stupid bank transaction that has absolutely nothing to do with me or what the teller did purposely. He was rude and XXXX. I never thought my XXXX  brother would experience this, let alone me experiencing a decline in score. 

Please help, what can I do about this on my score.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services (FL)

XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024 I called ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX. 
Due to extenuating circumstances resulting in a financial hardship I contacted Mercedes Benz to ask for a payment deferral. I called on two occasions and spoke to two agents. Each agent gathered my information and the circumstances that led up to the hardship ; thus, requiring that I requests for a deferment. But neither provided an overview of the deferment program benefits, requirements and fees. I specifically asked on two occasions to be provided the information, the ladder occasion I asked to be provided the information before the request to defer the payments were processed. Mercedes Benz financial charged a {$600.00} fee to defer lease payments ; essentially the fee includes less than {$50.00} in taxes to put the payment on the back end of the contract. The other cost is the administrative cost for the deferment. Which led me to ask the question, How does this benefit the me, the owner, during financial hardship. Specifically, if I am required to pay {$600.00} that I dont have due to extenuating circumstances ; and that has led to financial hardship? The representative then said, '' the least I can accept today is {$300.00}. '' I explained to the agent that I did not have the {$300.00} and that the deferral program was at best - predatory and didnt offer a tangible benefit for persons who were experiencing a financial hardship but was a means for Mercedes Benz to either make money off consumers during periods of hardship or block utilization of the deferment program. Or possibly both. To date, all payments have been made on time and I attempted to
