Consumer complaint received 05/24/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (TX).
Issue: APR or interest rate

Complaint: I have very high interest on my credit cards and when calling the companies they never will lower my interest rate, yet when I call XXXX XXXX XXXX they can get lower interest rates. Why are these not available to the Consumer through the credit card companies rather than having to go through a Debt relief. I am paying all of my bills on time however the interest rates are so high I ca n't get them paid down. Every time I call, the companies say there is n't anything available. Why ca n't they offer a lower interest rate to consumers rather than having to go through a debit relief company which I do n't want to do. These rates were all raised in 2009 before Obama said no rate increases in interest. I was involved in Hurricane XXXX at that time evacuated to another location for 6 months and was still receiving my mail XXXX.so I missed some of the offers to not increase the interest rate. I feel that the consumer is not being treated fairly with not offering the consumer similar lower interest rates that a debt relief company can offer. Please help with this issue.

Consumer complaint received 10-12-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I keep receiving overdraft fees for charges I ca n't see until the next day. Usually when charge something on my debit card I can see it under available balance and when the charge is done processing I can see it under account balance history also. If I do n't have sufficient funds my card is rejected. With reoccurring charges I am not able to see them as processing in my available balance and can not see them in my account balance history until the next day ( because my account balance history can only show me what I have been charged at the end of the day the next day and not what I will be charged since it is a history of my account balance. ) For example, on XXXX XXXX I checked my account balance and it showed up as positive with no pending charges. Then, on XXXX XXXX I checked my available balance again and it was negative with an overdraft charge. My account history showed that I had been charged on the XXXX but only showed that on the XXXX. Bank of America policy is that if I overdraft I have until XXXX EST to make a cash deposit so that I will not be charged an overdraft fee. How can I know if there is going to be an overdraft fee and deposit money if I ca n't see it until the next day? This has happened to me XXXX times and I was able to get XXXX of the overdraft fees waived. When I tried to have them waived again I was met with complete refusal. I can not afford to pay these overdraft charges as I am currently unemployed. I have asked to opt out of overdraft protection. I have asked to have warnings and emails sent to me when I overdraft but nothing in their system is helping me and I 'm either not receiving emails or they are sent days later.

Consumer complaint received 03-01-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: XXXX XXXX has reported that my credit card is overdue and that I have missed two payments. They have sent this information and as a result my credit score has dropped significantly. I explained to XXXX that I am a member of the United States XXXX XXXX and that I was unable to make payments due to being away from home for extended amounts of time. Also I was not aware of the autopay feature when I applied for the card. I believe that XXXX took advantage of this and as a result my account went delinquent. I have never missed a previous payment and I am a loyal customer.

Consumer complaint received 12/31/2015 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with SANTANDER CONSUMER USA HOLDINGS INC. (MD).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX my truck was stolen from the XXXX area at a friends house. I notified my insurance company XXXX which referred me to my gap insurance since I only had liability on the XXXX truck. I was notified by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that they had my vehicle and acquired it on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I immediately notified the Gap Insurance company who said they would send adjusters out to assess damages and next steps and that I could check the website for updates. the lot would only hold my truck until XXXX XXXX, XXXX according to the notice, I informed the insurance company of this as well. Around XXXX XXXX I contacted the lot where my vehicle was being held to inquire of the adjuster had been out since there were not any updates in the system and time was running out. I was informed that the lien holder came to pick up the vehicle on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I received no information for the lien holder as to the status, I forgot to mention during this same time frame, end of XXXX I received an email for the gap insurance company that they would not be paying a benefit because they got a report that the vehicle was repairable. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I got an alert from XXXX that my credit report has changed, that 's when I learned that Santander had listed my vehicle as a repossession. I had the loan for approx. 2 years and I have never missed a payment even through vehicle being stolen. When I contacted the company I learned that the truck was going to auction on XXXX XXXX and if I wanted to get it I needed to pay {$1500.00} at this conversation it was around XXXX XXXX they claimed they sent out a notice which at this point I had not received regarding their intent to sale the vehicle. I did get a notice of a certified letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. My issue is I am being penalized for my vehicle being stolen, and to call it a repossession after never missing a payment on the vehicle is absurd their explanation is because they picked up the vehicle form the lot it was a repossession, I could have very well picked up the vehicle if it was n't for the fact that I was told by the gap company to wait for an adjuster to go out, they can call it anything else but a repossession does not represent me or what happen in my circumstance, not to mention the damage it will do to my credit I have been working on for an entire year! 
I do n't know where else to turn and Santander is not even considering changing it from a repossession, Please advise on what I can do -- Thank you so much.

Complaint: I signed up for a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received the card, so it was never activated and never used.

Consumer complaint received 07/28/2016 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with CITIBANK, N.A. (NY).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: Citi Bank credit card dispute department reversed a conditional credit TWICE by mistake. I called at least 5 times and spoke to different Citi customer service reps, but nobody had made any corrections. 

Original purchase date : XXXX/XXXX/16. Merchant : XXXX 
I returned the item in XXXX, but merchant did not issue credit in a timely manner. I called Citi master card and citi master card gave a conditional credit on XXXX/XXXX/16. 

The merchant subsequently gave a credit on XXXX/XXXX/16. 

Then Citi reversed the conditional credit TWICE on XXXX/XXXX/16 ( posted to XXXX/XXXX/16 ) thus caused me out of money for {$50.00}. 
I called on XXXX/XXXX/16 and spoke to Citi service rep XXXX ( ID # Sdk XXXX ) and XXXX understood the issue but she was NOT able to find anyone from dispute team to make correction. 

On XXXX/XXXX/16, I talked with dispute team member XXXX online, XXXX also understood the issue and apologized for Citi 's mistake, but he had limited access thus he was also not able to submit a credit. 

On XXXX/XXXX/16, I called dispute team and spoke to dispute team manager XXXX, XXXX also admitted it is Citi master card 's mistake in taking away the {$50.00} conditional credit twice on XXXX/XXXX/16. However, XXXX also told me she had no authority to give a credit, and she had to forward this issue to Citi investigation team to handle. 

I spent 40 minutes to speak to each Citi customer service rep and chatted online at least 4 times but I had been transferred from agent to agent as if they are kicking me as ball, all agents admit Citi 's mistake but nobody is able to make a correction of the error. I need this issue to be addressed immediately!!!

Consumer complaint received 01-09-2018 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with Justice Finance Company (TX).
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint: I am receiving harassing phone calls at my place of employment two days after the due date which is on the XXXX of each month. Approximately early XX/XX/XXXX, I had a setback and was not able to make my payments on time. My payday is only once a month on the XXXX. I spoke with " XXXX '' and she stated she will place the note in the " system '' so they will know. Each month, I still received the same phone calls regarding the late payment and reiterated I was not able to pay until the XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a note from my employer that the company left a message for me to contact them. I returned the phone call and requested they do not call my place of employment because of the nature of my job. I spoke with " XXXX ''. She said she would make note to not call me at work. I also mention to " XXXX '' that it should be noted I would make payment on the XXXX as well. She said she did not see the note but would place it in the " system ''. The calls continued for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX from " XXXX ''. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a message from my employer that " XXXX '' called me from XXXX XXXX. This is not the creditor however from the number, I recognized it was the XXXX XXXX. I called to speak with " XXXX '' and she was extremely rude, telling me I should be more responsible and professional because of my job title. She said she did not see any messages about not calling my employer or my arrangement to pay on the XXXX and that I did not tell her this information so it did not matter. I stated I should not have to speak with everyone in the office to make the arrangement. Although, it does n't seem to help anyway because you all call and harass me every month. My balance is only {$170.00}. I do n't understand why harass and bully someone for small amounts. I am making this complaint for the harassment I am receiving from this company. Many of my friends and family members who have had business with this company in the past stated that is why they do not take out loans with them anymore.

Consumer complaint received 05/26/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I disputed XXXX tradelines with Equifax knowing that they both contained various pieces of incorrect information. The only way that the information could be " verified '' would be if the creditor or reporting agency fabricated/falsified information. I requested the manner of verification used and for the proof/information received, which was not included. Multiple FCRA, Texas Finance Code, and Texas Business and Commerce Code violations that continue to go unheeded. I do have proof and documentation that the information reported is incorrect, but I will not furnish it to the reporting agency to use against me ; rather I have given it to my attorney on retainer.

Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: I received my XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. For years I 'd proactively call to set up arrangements which I could afford. Rather than lowering my payments they kepto offering forbearance. Just recently they started offering the income based however now my loans have more than doubled and I now owe {$190000.00} in student loans. They recently recalculated my paymentsong at {$1900.00} a month and when I complained they lowered it to {$900.00}. I 'm XXXX yes old and there 's no way I can pay these off before I die. If they had given the lowers payments when I first asked many years ago, I could have them paid off and not accrued so much interest. In previous years they would never lower payments.I feel like this is predatory lending. With being a single parent with such high payments I felt like I had no choice but to put them in forbearance. Please help. XXXX XXXX. Navient customer

Consumer complaint received 06/23/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: Bank of America will not stop harassing me with phone calls, even though I have told them to stop and they can see we 've made the payment on our travel trailer. These are robocalls. You say hello and no one is be replies for a few seconds. We scheduled our payment ON THEIR WEBSITE for a future date. They STILL call. This month, they called XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Several of these days, they called 4 and 5 times a day. If I answer, and I 've grown weary and tired of explaining the same thing over and over, they still can not get it through their heads that we scheduled the payment. There was one female who was very nice and even offered to credit a late fee they had charged this month, which tells me the calls should have stopped then, but they did not. They restarted the next day! I suspect this is a hired outside company, because they say they have no access to BOA systems? This makes it all the more egregious. It is upsetting and stressful. They need to STOP.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: Synerprise has been reporting a fraudulent collection on my credit reports. I only found out about this collection from reviewing my credit reports.

Consumer complaint received 01/30/2018 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Capital Management Services, LP (GA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Complaint: I sent a letter out to capital management services/university XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They responded on XX/XX/XXXX that they received my letter requesting verification of my supposed account. However, I didn't request verification but VALIDATION. I have yet to receive another letter, including validation of the debt. So I believe that it is safe to assume that they can not provide the requested information. I also sent them a letter out on XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 01-07-2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (TX).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I unfortunately consolidated all my students loans with XXXX XXXX XXXX now Navient. On XX/XX/2016, I called the company to confirm that my student loans were amortized. I needed this information for a home mortgage. The customer service representative gave some ambiguous answer and agreed to send a letter for my home mortgage. The documents sent by Navient failed to prove that the loans were amortized. I called the company on XX/XX/XXXX and finally the customer service person indicated it was not a amortized loan. I need to refinance this loan after closing on my house. Because the student loans were amortized, I am having to pay anoth {$6800.00} to {$7200.00} at closing.
