Consumer complaint received 05-08-2015 about Payday loan () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NC).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: I took out a loan from Care Credit in order to pay dental bills. When I took out the loan it was for 24 months with no interest. XXXX I paid my payments to GE Capital. Beginning XX/XX/XXXX, it changed to Synchrony Bank. I paid on time every month. In XX/XX/XXXX I noticed my statement stated that my free interest has expired. I called and the man I talked with, told me the contract had changed. I have never heard of a contract being able to be changed. We argued back and forth for awhile and then he said " If you pay {$280.00} now, we will consider the bill paid in full. I wrote them a check for {$280.00} and put " paid in full '' on the entry. Yesterday I received another bill with the {$280.00} credited and a new balance of {$180.00} at an interest rate of 26.99 %. 
I am XXXX years old living on a fixed income and do n't like to be lied to and taken for granted. I 'm sure they are doing the same thing to other people. I am absolutely positively sure I signed up for 24 months of payments at no interest. I hope you can help me and I look forward to hearing from you soon. This illegal payment is due XX/XX/XXXX. 
Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 09/21/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (PA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: I 've been in repayment of my loans since XX/XX/XXXX with Fedloan. In XX/XX/XXXX of this year ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I enrolled in a XXXX degree and applied for loans. Once my new loans were instated, fedloan, automatically deferred my previous loans. I called them immediately on XX/XX/XXXX when I realized this had been done and I requested it be reversed as I want to continue paying my loans. They told me I have to sign a waiver and I requested they send it to me right away. Today is XX/XX/XXXX, I still have not received the waiver, despite 5 more conversations with Fedloan. I am told that once I do receive and submit it to them it will take another 7-10 days to reinstate it. In the meantime I am accruing interest at the full rate instead of the rate discounted .25 % for having automatic debit through them. I never asked for my loans to be deffered and they are being extremely unhelpful in allowing me to repay my loans.

Consumer complaint received 01-12-2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (TX).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: We originally fell behind on our mortgage when my husband had an accident and was unable to work due to a XXXX XXXX. We tried to get a modification and was unapproved. In XXXX XXXX they put us on a payment plan and told us to put {$10000.00} down and make payments of {$2500.00} a month for ten months ... We were now behind {$20000.00}. When we first started trying to get modified we were only behind {$6000.00} which was XXXX XXXX. We kept getting the run around with no answer until XXXX XXXX when we got a reply that that modification program had ended in XXXX XXXX. We started the payment plan with {$10000.00} down and made the payments on time and even paid more than was due. Hurricane came and Ocwen contacted me and told me due to the disaster I was eligible for the disaster plan which would give me three months no payments but I could still pay something on the loan if I had it. A month later I tried to make a payment and was told that I could not. When I asked why they said I defaulted on the payment plan. I told them that they put me on the disaster plan. They said that I did not qualify for the disaster plan after they submitted it. I asked why did no one contact me to let me know and they just apologized and said nothing could be done. I was then told they can put me on another repayment plan in order for me to keep my home. This time I needed to put {$8000.00} down on XXXX the XXXX and make a payment in the amount of {$3500.00} on XXXX XXXX. I told them that I can not afford those types of payments but they said that was the only option. I took a loan out on my car and paid the {$8000.00} but I cant afford {$3500.00} a month. My regular mortgage payment is {$1600.00} a month which I can pay with no problem. I asked them if they could take the {$10000.00} that I am behind and roll it into my mortgage as I have over {$60000.00} in equity andI was told no.

Consumer complaint received 08/29/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (WI).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I requested to file a dispuite for charges to a item I ordered and never received. The merchant sent a different item than I ordered, and was giving me the run around. Citi refused to open a dispute stating they ca n't because I have the item. But the fact remains I do n't have and never had the item I ordered. So after refusing to dispute that I disputed the charge in difference of the price when I checked out. It was {$79.00}. I was billed {$86.00}. After numorous phone calls, and being told I had to wait to file a dispuite for the charge of a shoe I ordered, and never received till the other dispuite was done. Then I could. So after Citi refunded the amount they charged over the purchase price I called back once again, and now being told I can only open a dispute once. So they took my legal right away when I first called, and refused to file a dispute for the full purchase, witch is what I first requested! After asking to talk to a supviser she just repeated herself over, and over being very rude. I then called back to file a complaint for poor customer service, and was told they are to busy, and will call me back monday morning. They never called. So I called again and was told once again they will call me Tuesday morning. Citi customer service is very poor, and down right illegal.

Consumer complaint received 02-07-2017 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OK).
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint: My daughter and me went to XXXX to go to the XXXX. I have a credit card with Chase bank with a credit limit of {$20000.00}. Plenty of available credit for the task. When we got there we tried to buy tickets at auction online. We had several good opportunities to buy tickets at a good price but my credit card kept declining. After a number of attempts I finally called Chase and they said they declined the purchases because of " fraud ''. There was no fraud. I have always paid my bills on time. As a result of this egregious violation of the implied customer contract we lost several purchase opportunities and ended up paying over {$1000.00} more for tickets than we would have if Chase honored their promise to me their customer. God help me if I were to refuse to pay them for no reason. They should be fined for this blatant dishonoring of the promised service they sell to customers. Given the usurious interest rates they charge one would think fraud prevention would be their problem to solve and not burdened on the backs of unsuspecting customers. Their behavior is criminally abusive
