Consumer complaint received 07/16/2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I was searching to buy a car at local dealership and was not able to find anything decent under {$10000.00}. Someone mentioned XXXX. I went into XXXX and found a XXXX for {$4000.00}. I reached out to the seller a XXXX XXXX and we communicated through email and text. I was sent an XXXX link to go into to buy the car at the end it instructed me to go Bank of America to deposit the money. I was given a name " XXXX XXXX '' and an account number. I went to bank and made the deposit on Saturday XXXX XXXX. On Monday, I called the XXXX phone number to confir receipt and to find out when I will receive the car. The phone rang and no one answered. On Tuesday, I called XXXX directly and they informed me that they have no record of this item being sold and they are pretty sure from what explained to them that it is a scam. I immediately went to the bank to notify them and to request that they put a hold on that money the {$4000.00} until investigation is done. The bank refused. I called their fraud department XXXX times to explain what happened and to ask for help, they said that they can not do anything. I went to the police and filed a complaint with the local sheriff and the FBI and notified the bank of such actions and provided all the evidence to show the bank that this is a scam, such as the deposit receipt, the emails with the scammers, the complaints and nothing seem to appeal to the bank. Even though, they know who is the owner of the account, they know that it is a scam, they are not willing to provide any information to help in the search of this scammer and to resolve the issue.

Consumer complaint received 07/31/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with State Home Mortgage (GA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I have a good solid contract and the buyer has already been pre-approved for the loan. The bank will not consider the short sale. Also, when I phoned the bank regarding foreclosure alternatives, it was relayed to me that my only recourse was to do a short sale. No one ever informed me about being able to apply for a loan modification. 
I had to go to an outside source to learn about this particular foreclosure alternative. I am trying my hardest to get this done. At this point I am desperate for assistance and I am reaching out to you as a consumer for help. I feel as if the lender and/or their representative did not do what the government says, which is provide alternatives to me as a homeowner.

Consumer complaint received 04/22/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Seterus, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I am going through bankruptcy and I am trying to rent the house, like I told the court I was going to do- otherwise I will lose my house. There was bad damage caused by vandalism and I filed a claim with XXXX. They paid the Loan Servicer money for the repairs, but the servicer refuses to release the money.

Consumer complaint received 04-11-2017 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MA).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I applied for a banana republic credit card when I went to XXXX to buy some clothes several months ago. As I and my colleges remember, I apply for the credit card just because we can get a discount ( like 15 % discount ). We did n't really make payment through the credit card because we made payment by using other cards, not to mention the banana republic card has not been issued on spot. 

Surprisingly, after several months, the staff of Synchrony Bank called me for several times and also send me emails to remind me that I have to make a payment for their credit card. At first, I did n't pay attention to these emails and calls, and I suppose they just made a mistake and it has nothing to do with me since I have neither received the banana credit card nor use the credit card to make a payment. Then, I received email again, and out of caution, I call them back to figure out what has happened. The staff told me that I have to pay for XXXX dollars or so. Actually, I did n't hear them very clearly, but to avoid any possible trouble ( It 's the first time I come to America and I really do n't want to be involved in any trouble ), I just made a payment on Synchrony Bank 's website using my XXXX card. Also, the staff told me that all I need to do is to pay for XXXX dollars, and they will not call me again. 

Recently, the Synchrony Bank 's staff called me again to ask for a payment ( XXXX dollars or so ), and I 'm really unhappy and fear that they just keep an eye on me and try to extract as more money as possible. I ask them why they call me again since I have n't received the card, I never used the card, and I have paid to them several months ago ( as I have said above ). Again, to my surprise, the staff told me that I have to pay them XXXX $ per month, and I even did n't know this rule! Also, they have never told me that I have to pay for XXXX $ per month. Otherwise, I would never apply for their credit card when I go to outlets! It 's totally unreasonable and unfair. So, I think the banana republic credit card and the Synchrony Bank 's behavior is something like financial fraud. In this case, I decide to file a financial complaint online. I will try to demonstrate that I have paid them XXXX dollars out of no reason, and I will not pay XXXX $ to them again because they really deceived me on this issue. Furthermore, I am not sure if any other residents in America have been involved in the troubles triggered by the Banana Republic credit card and the Synchrony Bank. So, please help me and make it clear why they can unreasonably charge for XXXX $ per month just for the annual fee or something like that. If possibly, I also want them to give back XXXX dollars to me. 

I am a newcomer in XXXX, and my XXXX is poor. If you have trouble reading this complaint letter, please understand me and give me some support. Thank you very much!

Consumer complaint received 09/14/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC (OH).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: I have repeatedly asked this company to verify a debt they say I owe. I have even offered them a settlement amount to take it off of my credit reports because this alleged debt is harming my credit. I have also checked on the FTC website and they are actually on the banned from collecting list. All they did was send old XXXX bills, but never verified any business I have with them. I do n't have no contract with Pinnacle. I asked them to show me something bearing my signature proving I owe Pinnacle anything. I have not received anything in writing from them at all! They ignored all my letters because I do n't want to do anything over the phone. I like to have a paper trail for everything I do.They sent your company a letter some months ago under a company known as XXXX back in XXXX. But I never received anything myself. I have sent them multiple letters and they fail to respond! When I went to file a complaint with FTC they said to try with CFPB first. I will take legal action if this is n't removed my credit reports. The link to the court judgement is below. I am trying to repair my credit and they are damaging it. Thank you for your time in this matter. I would love to get this resolved without taking legal action but they have left me no choice.

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2016 about Debt collection (Non-federal student loan) with Amsher Collection Services, Inc. (WA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: Not only did I not recieve any notice to dispute, after I paid the FULL amount to Amsher collection agency they told me it would be taken off my credit report in a couple of weeks, or I can write a letter to there supervisor and request for it to be taken off. It 's my understanding after I paid the debt ( which was wrongly in collections because of change of address and no phone calls or anything about the debt until Amsher took it over ) that it should be off my credit report in atleast 2 months. It has now been 3 months and I have contacted them several times for them to take it off while it still says " Open '' on my report. They keep telling me I have to write a letter to the supervisor to have it taken off.

Consumer complaint received 06-02-2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL).
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint: Navient  is the worst bottom feeders in the world. I submitted my paystubs for 2 months and bank statements. I was working with  XXXX  in a special department. I called her every few weeks since management was supposed to be reviewing my submitted documents. I got someone on the phone and she reviewed my documents and set me up on rate reduction program at 2.5 %. I can not afford the full payment and without being in this rate reduction program I can not pay anything towards balance and the amount I owe is going up. After paying for a month, I called in today to find out why I got a late fee. He told me that I was denied the rate reduction program due to being in it twice in the past few years. He canceled my automatic payments. I can not afford to pay on my loans at this time, the loans will sit. I chose to feed my family and roof over head more than pay on a loan that lies and hurts people.

Consumer complaint received 07/14/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with The Bureaus, Inc. (PA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: I have tried to offer a fair settlement to this account based on what I could afford. They are really mean. They refuse to even discuss it. They yell at you on the phone and the last girl said she was going to tell them to take legal action even though the debt is old and out of statute. Bottom line, they refuse to work with consumers. They would rather get nothing and continue to hurt consumer credit if you can not afford to pay them the full amounnt.

Consumer complaint received 01-10-2018 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Mobile or digital wallet) with Coinbase, Inc. ().
Issue: Problem adding money

Complaint: I accidentally put in an incorrect reference number when i was making an international payment to coinbase for my account, and I have contacted my bank XXXX who have not been able to tell what has happened, only that they are not able to trace the money as coinbase now have it in their system. Coinbase have absolutely no customer service and it is disgraceful, they should not be allowed to operate as the no1 cryptocurrency investment site. I have tried to message their support team on the website providing all my details, I had my bank amend the transaction so the correct reference number was added to the payment but I have heard nothing from coinbase, and I have not been told there has been any interaction between coinbase and XXXX. How can a site as big as coinbase is now not have a telephone service running which I can call? It is shocking and have never experienced anything like this. I simply want my money to be placed into my account and to have some interaction with coinbase as they are leaving others like me in the dark as I am not the only one to have issues with their customer service.
