Consumer complaint received 07-09-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (WI).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I recently opened a Citibank CitiGold Checking Account that was advertised to have a signup bonus of XXXX AAdvantage points upon the completion of two consecutive bill payments and {$1000.00} in debit card purchases. After signing up with the intent to complete these requirements a Citibank representative confirmed that the offer applied to my new account and that I should complete the offer requirements. This confirmation was communicated via their online secure message feature, and I have attached a copy for reference. 

Once I completed the requirements as directed I inquired about the expected delivery date of the earned bonus via secure message and I was told that my account was not targeted and that I would not receive the bonus as promised. This conflicts with what I was previously told and I have already spent a considerable amount of time to meet the requirements as directed. 

Upon receiving this news I insisted that Citibank had confirmed my eligibility and that my case be escalated to ensure that my bonus be credited to my account. Citibank was not willing to escalate the issue and simple replied with the same response already provided. After multiple messages were exchanged in which Citibank would not resolve the issue, I have decided that the next step toward resolution is to file a complaint with the CFPB.

Consumer complaint received 06-07-2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (VA).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: My load was sold to Navient from XXXX XXXX, who I was providing payments too up until I was laid off. I explained repeatedly that I was laid off to those that CONTINUOUSLY called and stated the same situation over and over agin. I was laid off, and could not provide any payments. They had no solution in regards to the situation and I had exhausted for deferment that they offered. I was laid off for close to 24 months. Needless to say, I did regain full time employment. Unfortunately my loan had defaulted. 

I spoke with the same manager, who then stated I had to pay everything in full or face a legal situation. Clearly I could not pay the full loan as I was unemployed for 24 months and could n't pay them, I did n't have THOUSANDS of dollars hanging around to pay them to immediately provide over with this forceful call. He then stated, call family and friends and see if you can borrow a lot of money. 

I did FINALLY reach an agreement with them XX/XX/2016, paid a sum to get my account into current standing and set up a " loan re-payment plan '' through the same company. Needless to say, I did n't receive any documentation on the matter after calling REPEATEDLY to the same manager, and they stated ( after he finally got his manager involved ) that I would not receive anything until the 3rd installment was paid of the monthly amount that was agreed upon. 

Imagine my shock when I was under the impression that I had worked out a payment plan with them to correct the loan, and they hit my credit SIGNIFICANTLY in XXXX 2016, 1.5 months after I paid the sum to get the account in current standing along with a monthly installment. When I called and asked why they where hitting me from " both sides '' ( credit negatively/payments monthly ), they stated they could and that one department does n't have anything to do with the other even though it 's the same company. 

I then called and spoke to the manager who could not provide actual documentation on said verbal agreement, that in other words, even though you are paying us back and set up an agreement plan, we are still going to negatively impact your finances for years to come. They claim they are " trying to help me '' however, I have yet to see them " help me ''. They will continue to negatively impact my credit significantly until I have thousands of dollars to provide to them according to the manager that I spoke too.

Consumer complaint received 12/18/2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Payday loan) with COMMUNITY CHOICE FINANCIAL, INC. (ID).
Issue: Received a loan you didn't apply for

Complaint: Cash Central ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) - a pay day loan company made a fraudualent loan to an online applicant using my stolen identity. They did not do any due diligience when lending the funds - did not call my employer or any of the telephone numbers reported on my credit reports, did not call check the account that they sent the laon funds to were mine. I had fraud alerts filed with two of three agencies and was working on the third due to XXXX breach. After notifing Cash Central that loan was fraudulent they issued a " civil action '' that shows on my credit report. 
Any due diligience on their part during the applicaiton process would easily have identified that I would OBVIOUSLY not apply for a pay day loan with high fees and rates. My credit reports all show larges amounts of available credit with banks and reputable institutions that have reasonable rates. 
I have filed their Complaint paperwork along with ID and the FTC victim of identity theft letter, and they are still arguing that I need to provide additional information. They want a police report and notifized statements, all time consuming and unreasonable when they did nothing to protect a consumers from this type of fraud. They have not provided me with any information I requested, like copies of the loan application and proof that money went into my accounts, " that is confidential information '' is their response. Whose confidenial information is it if not mine when they made this loan in my name?

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: Upon reviewing my credit report a few months ago i seen multiple accounts listed under MEDICAL. Under hippa my medical information is protected.

In addition i will be filing lawsuits against these creditors for violating my medical rights. I have ALREADY disputed these accounts the EXACT same way and they 've come back verified. How? Did you recieve a medical release form?

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

Consumer complaint received 12-01-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (NY).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: My last initial payment owed to AES was XXXX. I payed them sometime in early XX/XX/XXXX like on the XX/XX/XXXX or the XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX dallors. They only applied about 60 dallors and when I asked why they said I have to pay interest, which made no sense. Interest accrues every month and according to a statement that had my interest it explained that its 6 percent for the year, which I surely dont believe they acounted me for. I disputed this reaction with my bank who saw through the deceit since I provided images to support my claim and they rewarded me back my XXXX dallors. Now, AES is saying Im 26 days past due and claiming my loan is delinquent. Can someone resolve this?

Consumer complaint received 06-10-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. (HI).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Currently disputing information with all XXXX credit agencies, dispute is with lender and information they are reporting to the credit agencies.

2. Past Due Amount {$13000.00} : As mentioned above, the loan balance has been paid in full. 
3. Delinquent Payments : This information is not correct. Per an email sent to me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX, a Loss Mitigation Processor with Dovenmuehle Mortgage, a hold was supposed to be placed on all credit reporting activity until a decision was made regarding my request for a short sale and loan modification. I never received written or verbal notification indicating whether or not a decision was made regarding the request for a short sale. Delinquent payments were not supposed to be reported to the credit bureaus until a decision was made to accept or decline the short sale offer, after which I would then be given an opportunity to pay any delinquent payments before reporting to the credit bureaus. Since full payment of the outstanding loan balance was received prior to the lender making a decision whether or not to accept the short sale, no delinquent payments should have been reported to the credit bureaus. Please refer to the enclosed emails. 
4. Foreclosure initiated/started : This is not correct. A formal notice of default was never filed with the XXXX XXXX XXXX Office in the State of Nevada which is required to initiate any foreclosure proceedings within the State of Nevada. Please refer to the document titled " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ''

Consumer complaint received 04/18/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with U.S. BANCORP (MN).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I went to deposit a check for {$200.00} at the ATM at the  US Bank Branch  at  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , MN on my way out to dinner and a  XXXX  game with friends. I inserted my debit card and was prompted to insert the check. When I put the check into the ATM it seemed to malfunction and kept pulling the check in and out. Then it took the check in and kept it. The screen informed me that the machine had malfunctioned and that my deposit was NOT completed and it could not return my check. The ATM then asked me for the deposit amount of the check and printed out a receipt that says deposit attempt also telling me that an error had occurred. I went into the branch and told a teller who then said I would have to wait for banker and that I should take a seat. I told him I was with a group and did not have time as I did not want them to wait for me. I called the  XXXX  number on the so called receipt and I was told that there was nothing they could do and that I would have to wait a few days to see what had happened. I checked my account online and it showed a deposit and a debit both for {$200.00}. The next morning both of those lines were gone with no mention of either on my online account. I called the  XXXX  line again and spoke to  XXXX  who said she would help and took some information. I was not satisfied with that and went back down to the US Bank Branch, paid {$8.00} to park. I then spoke to a  XXXX   XXXX  who claimed to be a manager. When he checked on his computer there was no record of my calls to customer service on my account. He was n't very friendly or helpful but did file a tracking number which is #  XXXX  and told me that they would have someone check the ATM. He mentioned a provisional deposit for the check but I have not seen anything on my account. I thought banks had a fiduciary responsibility for a deposit no matter if it 's a ATM or a teller. They took my money, lost it and do n't seem very interested in resolving the matter.
