Consumer complaint received 05/14/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (FL).
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint: Let me begin by stating that this is out of the norm for me to report any company. However, I am totally dissatisfied by the following situation : I have been with  CitiBank  since   XXXX  . Therefore, I have developed a payment routine and have never missed or been late on a payment. My payment is due on the  XXXX  every month. I mailed the payment  XXXX   XXXX  ( every month I mail the payment on the  XXXX  ). However, CitiBank posted that they did not receive it until the  XXXX  and charged me a late fee of  XXXX . I immediately called CitiBank and asked them about the late fee of  XXXX . They aggressively stated that because I was indeed late they were unable to waive the fee. I asked them for a copy of the envelope to confirm the post office postmarked date, they stated that they were unable to retrieve the envelope proving that they received it on  XXXX   XXXX .     Nonetheless, I have been a loyal customer for over 23 years.I do not understand why CitiBank was unable to provide me with proof of receive date, I was not allowed to dispute the charge nor, was a waiver of the  XXXX  fee given.     I have never been late or have had a fee waived. The representative also confirmed that I have not had a late fee within the pas t two  years. I do not appreciate the hassle and the inconvenience. I had to call o n two separ ate occasions. Each representative lacked great customer service skills and was insensitive to my concerns. Although, I can not control the mailman, I am able to control the date in which I mailed it which is before or the same date every month. This issue could have been easily resolved by waiving the fee for a LOYAL customer or at least providing me evidence.

Consumer complaint received 02/22/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (MI).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: The credit card I received from Barclays expressly said on the advertising that there was no annual fee. I have the original paperwork I received from Barclays where it states that there is no annual fee. They charged me an annual fee. I disputed it in writing, and sent via certified mail. They did not respond within 30 days, and have not acknowledged my dispute. It has been several months, and over time they have added late fees and harmed my credit reports. I also telephoned them ; they told me that they were investigating, and promised in writing to remove the negative information on my credit reports within 1 month. More than 3 months later, they finally removed the charge, but the damage on my credit reports remain, and there is no indication on my credit reports that the charge was disputed. 
Barclays sent me a letter claiming " We called you several times to discuss your concern, but were unable to reach you. '' I do not remember received a phone call related to this, but I know that I telephoned them starting in XXXX over this issue, and again in XXXX and XXXX. 
I believe this problem occurred because I originally applied in XXXX for a Barclay Arrival+ Mastercard that did include an annual fee. Before the annual fee was charged almost a year later, I called to cancel the card. Their sales team convinced me to switch to their fee-free card ( the Arrival Barclaycard Mastercard ), and I agreed. I received the new card in XXXX XXXX, with new terms and literature showing that there would be have no annual fee. After 10 months, I was sent a courtesy letter informing me that I would be charged an annual fee. But the letter did not state that it was a change in my card terms of that I otherwise could avoid the fee. I telephoned, and the account representative confirmed on the telephone with me that my product has no annual fee. I then carefully watched for my XXXX bill, and found that the account representative was wrong. There was an annual fee charged even though Barclays allegedly converted my card to a card without an annual fee.

Consumer complaint received 01/27/2018 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (TX).
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint: On more than one occasion, navy Federal offset a late payment from my checking account without proper authorization. Several times, the payment has been automatically collected by their automatic collections system. To be specific, the most recent offset occurred XXXX XX/XX/2018. It is my understanding that federal regulations protect me from these sort of collection processes. Also, I was assessed a late fee on XXXX XXXX which is when my loan is due and the payment was made in full on XXXX XXXX. I am under the impression that fees are not assessed until the 10th day after the due date. I went Into their branch located in XXXX XXXX, TX and the representative was not at all helpful. She told me that if my loan was late, they could take the money from my checking account. I told her that was not right and she said that they can take the money from any of my navy federal accounts but not from external accounts. Does not sound at all accurate to me! My attempts to resolve with the company have been unsuccessful, therefore I am left with no choice but to escalate. I thought that navy Federal had corrected its collection processes but apparently not. Thank you for any assistance in resolving this matter.

Consumer complaint received 12-06-2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (NC).
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint with the BBB against the violation of my consumer rights with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They keep calling my job although they notified BBB on XX/XX/XXXX that they received my complaint when I called and they will no longer call my place of employment. On XX/XX/XXXX, my supervisor once again informed me that I received yet another call from this same place. I spoke to her and was told I am not to give out her number. I apologized yet again and assured her that I was trying my best to get this situation under control. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has yet again violated my consumer rights, lied in writing to the BBB and they refuse to abide by The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They keep violating my rights under this act and companies like this must stop. I am working very hard although they do n't see it to catch up on my car payments. I am on 90 probation because this is a new job and to have bill collectors keep calling me at work is unacceptable. I receive an evaluation and this will be noted. How do they accept me to pay my car note when they keep violating my rights trying to get me fired or humiliated at work. I am not sure why they feel they can do this but it has to end. I will be looking to seek further action against them. 

In their own writing on Ally letter head they replied back to the CFPB stating they place my cell number and work number on the Do Not Call list, however they keep calling my cell over 5x 's a day as well as still calling my place of employment. I have  attached a copy for the records.

Consumer complaint received 10/18/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (FL).
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint: Nelnet takes advantage of young, ignorant students who are unaware of the details of their student loans. Nelnet has illegally cheated many struggling borrowers, including myself, out of our rights to lower payments. Despite my qualification for the income-driven repayment plan XXXX IDR ), Nelnet knowingly steered me towards forbearance. They chose to do this instead of counsel me about more affordable repayment plans because this would result in me overpaying for my student loans. Additionally, over the years, payments were processed incorrectly, and Nelnet failed to act or correct the situation despite complaints. A class action lawsuit is pending, and I need to negotiate a settlement with Nelnet on these student loans.

Consumer complaint received 04/29/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with GC Services Limited Partnership (DC).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: I previously submitted a Complaint about this this collection agent. In response to the complaint, they submitted complete LIES.     The response is a complete LIE! The response states : ... in response,  GC Services sen t  XXXX   XXXX  a letter on  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX   verifying the name and address listed on the account as well as the amount owed with our client. The letter additionally included an itemization of the current balance owed and enclosed billing statements provided by our client to confirm the underlying amount owed. In addition,  GC Services  has updated  XXXX   XXXX  credit reports to show the account as dispute d. 5.  Our client reported to us that payments have been made on this account and that the line was opened and obtained using  XXXX   XXXX  security question and/or password.  6 . We apologize for any inconvenience caused through our collections efforts. We encourage  XXXX   XXXX  to contact  GC Services  so that we may assist her in completing a fraud and identity theft application or provide other assistance to help her resolve this account.     NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. GC Services HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO MY LETTER. I did NOT RECEIVE ANY SUCH documents, itemization, NOTHING that the claimed in their response. Additionally, the phone was not leased with my security question or password.  XXXX  ACKNOWLEDGED they allowed someone else to lease the phone without these things,  XXXX  stated she was allowed to upgrade the phone " based on her POSSESSION OF THE OLD PHONE! '' This response further differs from what  XXXX   XXXX  told me during my conversations.     The ONLY PROOF of the amount owed that  XXXX  knows is in dispute is the {$170.00} " lease cancellation fee '', again, I demand proof of an executed lease! That is the ONLY proof that supports the charge - not an account balance or itemizations of FRAUDULENT charge. I asked for PROOF OF A LEASE which is the subject of the {$170.00} debt.
