Consumer complaint received 04-06-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (OH).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I took out a student loan to send my XXXX daughters through college at XXXX XXXX University. XXXX graduated from XXXX in XXXX ; the other in XXXX. Just as I was starting to pay the {$110000.00} loan back ; my husband ( who was a XXXX and main bread winner, as I am a XXXX ) had a XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. He had XXXX XXXX over the course of a year and a half - and had to go on social security XXXX. The loans are in my name alone, so we could not qualify for loan forgiveness. We lost our cars, our home, everything - and of course my loans went directly into forebearance. Fast forward to today. My loans have ballooned into an insermountable amount of almost {$200000.00}. I am XXXX years old. I ca n't understand why a serious medical happening would not allow me to " freeze '' my accounts ( so as not to accumulate so much interest and penalties ). This seems almost illegal and if not, definitely unfair. How can I ever climb out of this hole - a hole that through no fault of mine I fell into that I can not get out of. My credit is ruined. I ca n't even buy a small house or condo because of that. It seems that there should be medical exceptions to loan forgiveness ( if you can show proof - which we of course can. ) It hangs over my head daily - and it keeps growing and growing, because I ca n't even afford XXXX of hwat the minimum monthly amount is. I am stuck, lost and scared to death. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ohio

Consumer complaint received 12-01-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle lease) with TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (RI).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I had a lease with Toyota Financial Services and purchased the vehicle after the lease was over. I purchased through another finance company in XXXX XXXX. In XXXX XXXX I received a tax bill from my city for approximately {$30.00} ( which covered the month of XXXX of year when I owned the vehicle ). I paid the tax bill and immeditaely called Toyota Financial Services to find out what I would owe to them for property tax. I was assured by the representative that my account was paid in full and I did not owe any taxes. I explained to the reporesentative that I should owe taxes for XXXX for the amount of time the vehicle was leased. She assured me that I would not owe any taxes. All a sudden a month ago I received a letter stating my account would be in collections if I did not pay the taxes owed. I called Toyota Financial and they advised it was for property taxes. I advised them i was told I owed no taxes and they said the information was incorrect. I asked for a copy of the tax bill because the amount they provided seemed too large to me. They advised I would have the bill within XXXX48 hours by email. It has been 2 weeks and I still have not received a copy of the actual bill from the county. I called again today and was told they were not sure why the request was not put in but they would put it in again today. She said they are backed up and would have it to me in 72 hours. I am afraid my account is going to be sent to collections and will affect my credit and they are not helping me prevent that from happening.

Consumer complaint received 02/16/2018 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Domestic (US) money transfer) with Coinbase, Inc. (FL).
Issue: Money was not available when promised

Complaint: On FridayXX/XX/XXXX we requested XXXX to send a wire transfer to Coinbase, Inc. Wire was sent by XXXX on Monday XX/XX/XXXXwith following details : Wire transfer federal reference nbr : XXXX Amount Sent : {$77000.00} On XX/XX/ We received an email from Coinbase , Inc saying the wire was being reversed and if we don't receive the funds back in three business days we were to contact them on their wire support email.

Since then we have opened three support cases with them and emailed the wire support several times, but we have not seen any effort on their part to return our funds or credit it to our account at Coinbase. 

We have received response to some of those emails saying they are working on the issue, but it has been 25 days since the wire was sent to them and 24 days since we received the email from coinbase saying our wire was being reversed. But we don't see much effort to resolve the issue. 

The funds sent to coinbase were from liquidating my wife 's IRA and as such represent a large portion our life savings. Both me and wife are over 50 and don't have many years left till our retirement. We simply do not have the time ( number of years ) or the physical capacity to build up another nest egg. We have made the same appeal to Coinbase, but they don't even respond. Any help you can provide in recovering our funds will be highly appreciated. 

Thank you,

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with AQUA FINANCE, INC. (NV).
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint: We applied for a loan to build a pool . Aqua Finance  provided us with {$40000.00} and the balance of our backyard project was paid i n Cash.    Payments for the loan were set up as an automatic payment from our bank account on the  XXXX  of each month starting 30 days after the completion of our project. The first payment was XX/XX/XXXX .   Since  XXXX  I have been trying to set up an online account so that I can increase our payments and pay this loan off by the end of   XXXX  . I was told that I would receive a bill in the mail with a code which I could use to set up my online account. Once I have this information I will be able to increase my payments and there would be no pre-payment penalty for paying off the loan early. I called in  XXXX ,  XXXX ,  XXXX ,  XXXX  and  XXXX . Today I was told I will never get a statement because I pay the bill automatically. I find this unethical, as a consumer I should receive a statement no matter how my payments are made. I have no way of knowing that the payments I am making are being applied to my account and what they are applying to principle or interest. This is unacceptable.   On my phone call today they offered to increase my payments. I do not want to give who ever I was talking to any more control over my payments without a bill.   Apparently the billing is done by a  3rd  party. They will request that I receive a bill. They do not know if I will receive a bill at the end of  XXXX  or maybe it will be  XXXX . The customer service person did not know how long it would take to for the request to go thru.

Consumer complaint received 09/24/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: My attorney has been continuously trying to process a short sale of my home with Wells Fargo. Despite several phone calls and emails to Wells every single day, Wells continues to not respond and then a few days closes out the file due to " missing documents '' even though they never tell us what is missing. It seems as though they do not want me to short sale my home, they would rather foreclose on it. They have been impossible to work with and continuously avoid our phone calls and emails. Please help before I get foreclosed on.

Consumer complaint received 02-09-2017 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (OH).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: To : CFPB XXXX XXXX Columbus, OH XXXX ( XXXX RE : Equifax To whom this may concern : I am writing today to inform you that while applying for a mortgage recently, I learned of a derogatory item showing on my Equifax credit report, which is inaccurate. 

Specifically, the item is for a collection agency ( XXXX ), a collection for XXXX. Insurance information was given at point of service, and apparently, the original company never submitted a claim to insurance nor did I receive a bill for this service. More than a year and a half later I received a bill from collections for this service. I was refused an original copy of my service bill ( it 's not even possible to verify I used this company ). The company ( XXXX ) will not even discuss this matter with me as they state it 's been sent to collections leaving me with no recourse or ability to verify I used this service. Shortly after, this bill was sent to the above collections agency and is now showing on my credit report as derogatory. The collections company states they have no information other than the bill ( although XXXX seems to have access to my protected health information, which is a separate legal issue ). The collection agency refuses to work with me ( in fact the owner hung up on me on my most recent attempt to gather information ) and further threatened ongoing negative reporting unless I pay in full immediately ( without further information ). The collection agency is now harassing me with telephone calls since I 've reached out to them but will not give me information to verify this bill. 

I respectfully request that this item be removed from my credit report based on the above information. Attached is the portion of my Equifax report showing the derogatory item. 

Sincerely, XXXX

I also had to make a dispute on our credit reports as Ally Financial did not report the down payment we made against the balance owed, and did not report the payments that we had been making.

Consumer complaint received 07/23/2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with ERC (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I have disputed with the XXXX major credit bureaus online, verbally, and in writing related to negative items I believe are erroneous reported on my credit report. I have disputed the account information as inaccurate with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to send information that verifies the debt has not been paid. How is this possible? Under the consumer laws, I 'm unable to get them to send me a detailed invoice related to the amounts I owe. It 's very confusing as a consumer to continue to receive letter from several different collection agencies requesting me to pay the same debt for different amounts. I have uploaded the letter received related to a debt with XXXX, that 's been paid and resolved.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I received a text message from Number XXXX : Your DriveTime pmt discussed is due tomorrow. Pls call XXXX if unable to pay. To opt out, reply STOP. Info provided is part of a collection attempt.

Consumer complaint received 06-03-2016 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I went to withdraw money for my XXXX told father from Capital one bank, located at XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX. I have power of attorney which was filed with this same branch office. I have been going in for a year making monthly withdrawals with no problems. Lat month I went in to make a withdrawal and the teller named XXXX said I was not on the account and said I couldnt withdraw funds. I told her I was POA and that I have been coming in for a year. I said the POA was submitted to this branch and I even told them where it was kept ( it the file cabinets ) After 4o minutes I made thewithdrawal and left. Today, XXXX XXXX, 2016 I went in and XXXX was there again. I gave her the withdrawal slip and she said that I was not on the account. I said I was POA and that we went through this last month. SHe said that I may be POA but that I am not on the account. This is complete nonsense. Even though she physically had the POA in her hand last month, I gave her my drivers license, she then asked for my social security number in front of other customers. Why am I being asked for my social security number, and in a non secure area I must add. I wrote it down and gave it to her. She then performed the transaction. I went to the desk of a blonde woman by the bank officers and told her what happened. She brought up my account on her computer screen and it clearly had my name listed on the account as POA. She admitted there should not have been a problem. XXXX did this to me because of what occurred teh previous month. Her behavior was unprofessional and was an act of spiteful and vindictive harassment.
