Consumer complaint received 10/20/2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (MD).
Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Credit denial

Complaint: VEHICLE LOAN WAS APPROVED ; CONTRACT WAS SIGNED ; THEN DENIED. 

I traded in a XXXX vehicle to purchase a XXXX vehicle at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, MD. The loan was approved by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for a loan of {$88000.00} aXXXX XXXX XXXX 84 monthly payments of {$1200.00}. The car dealership prepared all of the paperwork which I signed. With financial approval, I took possession of the vehicle and drove it home. 

A few days passed, and the car dealership called me to say that XXXX reversed the loan approval based on my prior history with them. ( I had previously XXXX a Bankruptcy XXXX debt for {$1000.00} with XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). XXXX XXXX attempted to resolve the issue with XXXX on my behalf stating that the incident occurred over 17 years ago, but to no avail. 

I received a letter mailed from XXXX dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( received on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) stating that they were unable to approve my loan due to XXXX has Caused XXXX to Suffer a Loss. The letter stated that XXXX obtained my credit score from XXXX and used it in making their credit decision. My credit score was XXXX. 

The unfair credit practices are that XXXX denied me a loan unfairly as my credit score represents good or 'very good ' for credit worthiness and they relied on outdated circumstances from 17 years ago without providing me the opportunity to explain my past hardship and/or my current financial standing. 

As a financial institution, loan approval must be based on existing information contained on the credit report. The actions of the Pentagon Federal Credit Union were not based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act, using information that exceeded the statute of limitations for credit reporting practices. They treated me disparately from other applicants who must have been approved for loans with a credit score LESS THAN XXXX and/or with prior adverse circumstances.

Consumer complaint received 09-09-2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with U.S. BANCORP (IL).
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint: I disputed an amount of {$130.00} for a charge on my account that should not have happen with US Bank. I received a rental car from XXXX XXXX after an accident with my car. The other person 's insurance company had to pay for the damages. I was to receive a rental car during the time my car was in the shop. I was told by XXXX that I will not be charged for the rental, just the holding fee of {$50.00}, which will be returned to me after I return the rental car. I received the rental on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and returned the car on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and my balance was at {$0.00}. A week later on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, my bank account had a charge of {$130.00} from XXXX XXXX which put my account in negative and received an overdraft fee of {$36.00}. I contacted XXXX and was told by the Manager, that she was sorry, she did n't know how to process a rental through the insurance company. I asked for the payment to be credited back into my account and was told they can not give credit after the rental agreement has been closed. I was shocked, after they took my money when the agreement was closed. I then contacted US bank to dispute the claim, I was given credit back in my account after 10 days from XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I did not receive the dispute paperwork until XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I sent over receipts from XXXX that showed my balance as {$0.00} and receipts that show they billed the insurance company. My dispute claim was denied after US bank card service received information from XXXX that the insurance company sent me a check after I disputed the amount. I was charged several overdraft fees in the amount of {$320.00} from the beginning of my dispute to now. Recently, I was charged {$280.00} of overdraft fees on Wednesday XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Thursday XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Friday XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Overall, US Bank should have protected my account after I explained to them, that I should not have been charged in the first place. Instead I 'm stuck with multiple overdraft fees and I ca n't pay my bills for the month. US Bank did take into consideration that I did not authorize XXXX to take that amount out of my account. I spoke to several bankers, the claim department, as well as the bank manager that I open my account with, about removing the overdraft fees and all they say is there 's nothing they can do until I send in paperwork showing that the insurance company paid XXXX XXXX directly. Instead of the bank charging me 1 overdraft fee of {$36.00} for the forced charge back on my account in the amount of {$130.00} that occurred on Wednesday XXXX XXXX, the bank charged me 8 overdraft fees for my purchases made before this forced charge back. This is unethical practices and I will like someone to look into my issue.

Consumer complaint received 03/28/2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: My wife and I took out XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. We were under the same belief that many have that these loans would fund the education that would lead to the higher paying jobs, thus enabling us to repay the loans and have the life we had worked hard to create. After graduation we were told our repayment plans would be more than the income we were making and opted for a hardship forbearance. Once this expired we were still within the same financial structure and unable to pay the requested amount. Navient was formed and our loans were transferred to them for servicing. They were even more difficult to deal with! My wife had her parents cosign on XXXX of her XXXX loans and, as a result, Navient refused to offer income based assistance due to the income her parents bring home. We explained to Navient that these are out loans and we are happy to repay them but we need to be within a reasonable payment. They are requesting over XXXX % of our gross monthly income in the form of payments and are unwilling to budge. We were told that these are private loans and are not eligible for any assistance outside of what they feel we should have. This is extremely frustrating because we are already paying them {$370.00} for my wife 's loans and mine are in an educational forbearance. Once these come out, they want an additional {$1000.00} per month. That does n't include the XXXX loans they are unwilling to include in the consolidation for my wife due to the consigned. They want an additional {$800.00} for those XXXX loans- more than the combined total for all the other loans! When all is said and done, they want {$2200.00} per month from us. Our monthly income is only $ XXXX. That means over half of it would go to them. That does n't include the Federal loans we pay. Navient has been completely unwilling to work with us despite multiple attempts. The worst part is we have been paying on them for nearly 6 years and the total amount due today is actually more than when we took the loans out due to the 'interest only ' repayment plans and the fact that interest continued to accrue during forbearance. It is almost criminal that these companies are able to lock students in to these loans with no chance of assistance!

Consumer complaint received 09-09-2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: My debit card was closed without any notice to me. I had no access to my money for a few days until a temporary card was issued. The bank could only tell me that it was notified by someone that a potential breach had occurred and to close my account. The could not tell me who initiated the closure or when. I think I have a right to know these things.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: Charged me for a utilities and refused to accept proof that I was not residing at property at time bill was made. No record of call to disconnect. I paid this company 's hired collection agency ( Assoiated Credit Services ) {$410.00} in order to remove a debt from my credit reports related to a bill that I did not make for utilities. I have explained that I moved away from property. I left the state for a contract travel assignment for work on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX was notified on XX/XX/XXXX but they conveniently lost the record of my call. The owner of the property will not remove it due to a unrelated dispute. The property was vacant but billing continued for XXXX months after I vacated. I received a bill on XX/XX/XXXX and promptly notified XXXX XXXX that there had been a mistake and requested service be disconnected. There was no previous balance due. I was told that there would be an investigation and I would receive a final bill minus the time I was away from property but I would be contacted by a supervisor if they needed my documents of proof. I never received any further correspondence. I restarted my credit monitoring service a few months ago and noticed that I had been referred for collection. I immediately called XXXX XXXX to resolve matter but was informed that ASC was in full control of collections and they refused to accept a payment. The representative also suggested I file a dispute with the credit bureaus and explain the matter. and/or file a dispute with the credit bureau. I called ASC and explained the whole ordeal of moving and not being notified or aware of bill or collection efforts. I was told to call XXXX XXXX to have matter corrected and/or dispute the inaccuracy with the credit bureaus. I explained that I was willing to pay debt to expedite the removal despite not owing bill, the ASC representative agreed and said I would get a receipt in mail but they could not put in writing that they would delete. I was told by XXXX XXXX and Associated credit services to " call the credit bureau and challenge the debt ''. I did, XXXX reports that ASC verified the debt was valid and that no payment had been made. I have a contract for employment with a start date XX/XX/XXXX in South Dakota on a remote XXXX XXXX. It is not possible that I made the bill for utilities. Someone was residing at the residence. I am positive I called to disconnect service.
