Issue: Taking out the loan or lease — 
Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB (OH)

I co signed a loan for my daughter in law. When they did the loan they put me as the principle buyer and her as the co buyer but they put the title to the car in her name because she was making the payments and she gave up car up as trade in. I went to refinance the loan because she was filing bankruptcy and I did n't know how that would effect my credit. I told the lady at State Farm XXXX that I did n't know if it could be refinanced because of the way the car was titled in her name. She called us back and said there was no problem and we could come and sign the papers, my husband and I. My daughter in law called and asked her how she could do the loan with the title in her name did n't she need her to sign off on the title and she said she did n't need anything from her. So after XXXX days and still not receiving a memorandum title I called XXXX XXXX again and talked to XXXX XXXX the lady that did the loan she said she would call the bank. She called me back and said the title was at the title agency and that I would need to have my daughter in law go with me and sign the title overt to me that it was a clear title in her name. I asked why and she said that 's what had to be done. I told her before this even took place if this could n't be done to let me know. So now my daughter in law has a clear title to the car and the car and I 'm stuck making the payments. I had XXXX XXXX Bank investigate this and which has been going on since XX/XX/XXXX. Yesterday XX/XX/2016 Mo the recovery team person I 'm dealing with said he heard from the legal team and they were going to unwind the loan and reverse it and have the orginial lender pay them back the money they paid to refinance the loan. Today State Farm Bank called my daughter in law and asked her to assume the loan for the original refinance price at 0 % interest for which her attorney told her not to sign. I do n't feel I should have to pay for the incompetency of XXXX XXXX with State Farm XXXX because she did n't do the loan correctly. She was told numerous times the title was in my daughter in laws name and now because I have it investigated she stated she was never made aware of this. I told her and so did my daughter in law. ;

Hi! 

I have a Chase credit card. When I updated my phone number and address on XX/XX/2016, the change did n't make its way through all of Chase 's internal systems. When I submitted a dispute for a transaction, Chase only talked with the merchant, who gave false information, and closed my case without issuing a refund for a refundable transaction. They never reached out to me for information. When I finally got to speak to their dispute department, the response for having the wrong phone number on file was, " you should speak with customer service ''.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (KY)

When I first began repaying my student loan the payment was XXXX/month at the time I was working part-time with the anticipation of being made full-time, but that had not occurred yet. I called my loan provider immediately and told them ( Sallie Mae ) my situation and I asked them if I could lower my payment for a period of 3-4 months until my pay increased. 

They told me no. 

My options were forbearance or pay the amount. So, not wanting to affect my credit or increase the amount of interest on my already steep loans - I paid the full amount even though it was a struggle. They were rude, no help and caused a significant amount of XXXX in that situation. 

I 've been paying faithfully and my interest rate continues to climb, I have n't made an impact in the balance at all I feel even though I pay monthly. I understand this is my debt, but I 've never had a bank or any provider of a service unwilling to work with a customer on a payment for a month.

Hunter Warfield has a very unique style of harassment. They increase the amount of collection balance by only $ XXXX and report the new amount every month. So every month my credit score is injured by the fresh bad collection activity. They also call 4-5 times a day despite my telling them not to.

I am not paying the landlord for work that they should have fixed while I lived there and now they have Hunter Warfield trying to collect and hurting my credit monthly.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (FL)

Auto loan with Suntrust Bank. Original Loan amount was reduced because I cancelled a car service package, but the bank never sent information about how the payments will be modified. Paid on time every month for 50 months, more than the originally settled monthly payment. However, the bank never sent me a statement or account balance info. Automatic payments stopped by mistake after XXXX. Bank never contacted me, but reported late payments to credit bureau. Learned about that about 2 months later by checking credit report. Called bank to verify what 's going on and get the account balance. Bank claims they tried to contact me, but they do not have updated address ( strange because I requested address change to US postal service and I also keep on receiving checking account and loan offers from this bank ( I have copies of them ). They claim they tried to call me but they had a wrong phone number in file ( strange because it has not been changed and all info/negotiation was mediated by the car dealer and they have it all fine ). Bank claims they do not send emails for security reasons ( LOL ). I already paid full debt, but the bank claims late payments shall remain reflected in my credit report because it was my fault/neglect to contact them and keep track of what I owed ( 2months ). How can I know what I owe if the bank never send statements and refuses to do so? It is extremely difficult for a layout person to figure out an amortization table/balance after applying all those changes to the account. I had a pristine credit history before this issue ( above XXXX ), all debts paid full or before time, even during the incident with this bank. I am also currently leasing another car. Clearly the issue was because of lack of communication, not because of financial problems or neglect. I already finished paying whole balance, -6 months before due time. If all they wanted was charging late fees and other stuff they can keep it. It is unfair, but I do not mind. I just want them to remove the negative & false information they posted on my credit because it has nothing to do with my personality or my financial responsibility. They are the ones who hide account balances, I am not the one who play dirty games.

Issue: Rewards — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (KY)

USBank closed my XXXX credit card without warning. On talking to a USBank representative, they informed me that card closures for any reason meant that any rewards points ( already earned or pending ) in my account were forfeit. Prior to this, I received an email from USBank targeting me for extra points for spending more money in the holiday season. Also, their own literature touts spending {$10.00} 's of thousands of dollars in order to get the annual fee waived, yet another inducement to spend more money on their card. For the record, I had made only XXXX purchases in the month, had not exceeded my credit limit, nor had any late payments. 
I believe their marketing and policies to be unfair as it deceptively encourages consumers to spend to earn rewards points and that any and all points may be seized at USBank 's whims. Since USBank refuses to allow me to redeem the points that I earned according to their own terms & conditions and I was recently made aware of the CFPB, I am writing to seek relief.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA (TX)

At the beginning of XX/XX/2016, my income was incorrectly calculated by FedLoan. Because of their error in calculations, my income-based monthly payment was approximately 3x higher than it should have been, and it was impossible for me to pay. When I contacted FedLoan, they told me that the only solution to the problem would be for them to conduct a review of the situation and try to sort it out. When I asked how long this would take, they said it could take up to 3 months after receiving additional paperwork from me ( paperwork I had already previously completed and submitted months before ). They also said I would have to pay the incorrectly calculated monthly payment ( & gt ; 25 % of my take-home pay for the month ). They asked for me to resubmit my proof of income, and they also made me complete ( AGAIN ) another income-based repayment enrollment request and mail it to them. I did all of this. Over a month later, I called for an update and there had been no progress. One individual I spoke to said that the additional paperwork I sent had been received, but had been incorrectly filed. Therefore, they needed me to send it again. Because I could not pay the incorrectly calculated monthly payment amount, they said my only option was to put my account into forbearance. Keep in mind, I had been making monthly payments on my loan since I graduated from school - NEVER putting them in forbearance or deferral. I filled out their paperwork a third time and submitted it. Over the next 4 months, I called FedLoan monthly to check in with them, wasting hours of time waiting on the phone. Over these 5 months, I had to put my account in temporary, monthly FORBEARANCE FOUR TIMES since they could not get their act together. ( 1 ) During this time, my student loans accrued & gt ; {$5000.00} in interest, which was not being paid down since I could not make the payments THEY incorrectly calculated on my account! ( 2 ) Furthermore, I missed out on & gt ; 5 payments that would have counted towards the 120 payments required for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. ( 3 ) Finally, as I was not able to make my normal payments on my account, I wound up paying 50 % less on my loan than I did last year, which negatively impacted my tax return. All of this ONLY because it took FedLoan & gt ; 6 months to resolve a simple issue which was their fault. Who is going to compensate me financially and personally for the repercussions of their mistake? They certainly have n't, nor have they apologized, or improved any part of their customer service process.

We have a credit line with Suntrust Bank in XXXX, Florida. The XXXX names on this credit line are XXXX persons : XXXX ( myself ), XXXX ( wife ) and our son, XXXX. The interest pertaining to this credit line are debited directly from my son, XXXX 's checking account. The Form XXXX, has my name only, showing my social security. I have in many occasions requested to change this to my son 's name along with his social security number, as he is the one paying the interests and are debited directly from his checking account. They have told me that they can not change it. To my knowledge, the Form should show my son 's name ( XXXX ). I am a retired civilian and do not even have enough funds to pay such interest in that amount. Also, since I am retired and receiving social security, this can cause unneccesary problems with the IRS. Please know that this is a former complaint against Suntrust, and wish for you to assist me if I have the right to this request.
