Consumer complaint received 04/26/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (MD).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I attended XXXX XXXX University. I thought I only borrowed federal loans for school, however, it looks like I borrowed a private school loan for 15,000 at 11 %. I began paying it because I started receiving the bill at my mothers house. Then I was going through a child support issue and I could not pay the bill. I asked to file for a forbearance and they said I could but a few days later the loan went into default. I called AES and they said the agent should have told me I needed to complete the form immediately. I tried calling the collection agency to create a payment plan and they refused. XXXX XXXX threatened to take my Mother 's house and her retirement. I called AES to have them release the contract and they could not find it. They had my birthday as XXXX when its in XXXX. Now I 'm thinking this might not be my loan. My XXXX XXXX loans were completed with federal loans. So now I 'm clueless because XXXX XXXX XXXX wants 23,000 dollars paid in full. I am a XXXX and do n't have that kind of money.

Consumer complaint received 12/28/2016 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (WA).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: Here 's the situation : I 'm a medical student studying in XXXX, and moved here a couple of years ago from XXXX. My parents wanted to send me some money to help with tuition and living expenses, so I set up a XXXX PayPal account to transfer funds between my XXXX and American bank accounts, because the fees for international exchange would be cheaper that way. 

After verifying my XXXX PayPal and getting it fully activated, I tried to send the money my parents gave me ( about {$7000.00} XXXX from my XXXX account to my XXXX on XX/XX/2016. According to PayPal, it takes about XXXX business days to process an international e-check transaction, which was no problem. However, after that time passed and the transaction cleared from my bank account, it still remained " pending '' on my PayPal account, with the money not showing in the remaining balance on either side. I called them asking about it, and they said for XXXX transactions it can take up to XXXX business days. As you probably guessed, that time passed as well with no status change. I called my XXXX bank, and they said there was n't much they could do because the funds had already cleared from my bank account. I thought PayPal may have put a hold on it for risk assessment ( as they explain in their Terms of Service ), but they never notified me about it and as such it would be a breach of their TOS if it were in fact a hold. 

And so, I called PayPal again ( now over a month since the original transaction should have gone through ), and they said it was " an XXXX. issue '', and that they " have escalated it and are looking into it '', but would n't give me a time frame for when it would be resolved. It seems as though, despite the money clearing from my XXXX bank account, PayPal 's system did not recognize the reception of funds. 

Now, it 's been over a month since my tuition for this semester was due, and I do n't have enough to cover it without those funds. I 've contacted the financial office at my university, and they were very understanding and did n't assess any late fees ; however, they did say it could affect my ability to register for class next term if it is n't paid by then. 

I am submitting this complaint now because, after XXXX months of waiting, XXXX separate calls and countless assurances that my issue would " be resolved soon '', I feel I have no other choice.

Consumer complaint received 09-12-2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (UT).
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: I applied for a XXXX XXXX card from Barclays in XXXX of XXXX. There was a Welcome Bonus of XXXX points after paying the annual fee. I paid the annual fee of {$89.00} in my first billing cycle but never received the points as promised ( exhibit XXXX ). Shortly after I was approved, Barclays converted the account to an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX card, due to the XXXX XXXX merger. Because the old XXXX XXXX product was no longer being offered, I could not look up online to confirm what the requirements were to get the bonus. From my understanding, I met them by paying my annual fee. After I got my new XXXX card I used it in XXXX of XXXX, hoping that would trigger my XXXX points I never received ( exhibit B ). 

By XXXX I used Barclay 's secure message service on their website to submit a complaint and ask where my points were ( exhibit C ). I was told I did n't meet the requirements ( even though I paid my annual fee ) because I did n't make a purchase. I did n't ever see that in the terms and conditions when I applied, and again, could n't be found online due to the original XXXX XXXX product being discontinued. 

Hoping for a better resolution from Barclay 's XXXX team I contacted Barclay 's on a secure XXXX message to ask where my points were ( exhibit D ). I was promised I would see the points on my next statement. I was not notified that I failed to meet the requirements. 

My next statement would be XXXX, I did n't receive a statement that month. XXXX was the last statement I ever received in XXXX ( exhibit E ). I did n't receive a statement until XXXX of XXXX. There was nothing on the statement. Nothing due, no rewards points, no balance, nothing ( exhibit F ). 

Fed up and frustrated with Barclay 's I forgot about the account. 

I 'm now just realizing I 've been charged an annual fee for my second year, and two late payments. 

If Barclay 's will not keep their word of honoring the original agreement of rewarding me XXXX points upon paying my first annual fee in XXXX, and will not honor their promise to reward me my points when I asked for them in XXXX, I ca n't be expected to pay an annual fee on this account. 

I 've since been charged two {$25.00} late payment fees because I have n't paid off the 2nd year annual fee on time. I will not be paying the annual fee, or the late payment fees, as Barclay 's has broken our agreement. 

{$89.00} - 1st annual fee ( paid in full - Exhibit A ) {$89.00} - 2nd annual fee ( only paid {$25.00} in XXXX - Exhibit G, and {$51.00} in XXXX - Exhibit H - of the fees before realizing Barclay 's never honored agreement )

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I obtained my annual credit report XX/XX/XXXX. Upon reviewing I noticed I have 30+ inquiries that are affecting my score. I have been car shopping for the past few years but never would have thought this information would have been shared with whomever they wanted ... ... ... I will list these below. I first called XXXX today XX/XX/XXXX who gave me the protocol to request to have these inquiries removed. I then attempted to call the next group of creditors that had access some how to my report, XXXX-store cards?? I called and spoke with a rep who failed to tell me I was speaking with the fraud department. After speaking with her I explained why I was calling. All I requested per XXXX was an inquiry deletion letter. She proceeded to repeat to me all she could do is file an investigation for identity theft, that is the only way for these inquiries to be removed. She stated I would need to contact the credit bureau for further information as that is all that they could do. I then asked her if she could give me a date as to how long this would affect me and all she kept repeating was sorry we do not have a time frame to again call the credit bureau. I then again called XXXX and this time spoke with a supervisor and he repeated the same protocol. I explained I am aware but what am I suppose to do now ... ... .he stated to obtain a police report for proof they could not give me the inquiry deletion letter and submit this to them to then be reviewed to see what they could do???? I believe this is unnecessary as I am trying to buy a house and I can not even get the first group of inquiries deletion process started as no one neither the company nor the credit bureau can help me!!!!! How can any of which hold my information but not assist me? PLEASE HELP! _____________________________________________ Auto Dealers?
