Company: TCF NATIONAL BANK
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX financial services continued to contact me at my work place after I repeatedly told them to stop calling. They also have contacted my mother, my ex wife which neither are on the loan. They have sent someone to my house that refused to leave until I call XXXX XXXX, that person drove in my yard and ruined my grass because he said he was to old to see at night. This is considered in my opinion harassment, I have had my loan for over 3 years and have never been 30 days late.I am getting headaches and body aches because of the constant pressure that they are applying. I have never experienced this, I have had over 5 car loans, multiple mortgage loans and no company has treated me in this manner. The representatives are very rude!

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a coinbase account with 2 factor authentication. That worked great until i replaced my phone and had to reinstall the authentication app. The catch is that you need the app to login, but the only way to install the app is to be logged in. Coinbase was unable to give me access so they instead had me create a new account and then they transferred my money into the new account.

However, i later had transfers into the old account and they were unable to give me access to transfer the coins into my new account. I went back and forth with them for over a month and they were very slow to respond and i eventually gave up.

here is the latest communication. i haven't heard anything in a month Hi there, Im working with a specialist to review and finalize your balance transfer. We will follow-up as soon as the transfer is complete, or if we have any further questions.

No further action is required on your part at this time. Please note, we are experiencing tremendous support volume that may delay response times. For fastest response time, please do not send more than one email response. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/2018, I called Experian to dispute over 20 addresses that are incorrectly reporting on my file as well as remove the credit freeze and fraud alert from my report as it was hindering creditors from pulling my report. I was hung up on twice and cold transferred twice. The website dispute does not work at all. I explained to all four representatives about these addresses. I was cold transferred by one agent to another stating she could not help with disputing the addresses all at once. The phone hung up as soon as she attempted to transfer me. I called back and a male told me that the previous rep had lied to me about not being to dispute the addresses. When I asked for his name to add to my case notes, he released the line in my ear.

All of their calls are recorded. Every call. I phone from XXXX. Screenshots of the calls are attached.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I enrolled in school in 2009 and at that time, my student loans were through XXXX XXXX. The semester prior to my last, I got married. During my last semester, my XXXX XXXX loans became Navient loans. My school hyphenated my last name to keep my maiden name and add my last name. After graduating, my student loans had been coming in my maiden name. Fast forward 2 years and my husband had his student loans consolidated and enrolled in a repayment program through a 3rd party. I wanted to do the same so that company reached out to Navient to begin the process. They ran into an issue with my last name. I had to take over the process and contacted Navient. I was forthcoming with the reason I needed to change my last name. They told me the information they needed and directed me to my online account. No matter what I did, I could not get signed into my account. On 3 different occasions, I spoke with Navient customer service representatives that told me they were mailing me the information I needed to fill out and return with a copy of my marriage license. My address was confirmed each time and each time I received nothing. The last time I spoke with them, I told them I was mailing them a copy of my marriage license and if my information wasnt updated, theyd get no more of my money. My information was not updated, in fact, I still receive daily phone calls for my maiden name telling me they need me to call back to discuss my account. I keep seeing and hearing horror stories about this company and I need to speak up as well as everyone else so this company is stopped! Due to the on going issue, the last I knew, they are claiming Im owe almost twice of what my original loans totaled. They wont be seeing one penny of that from me due to their negligence!

Complaint narrative:
I was told to freeze my credit due to the data breech. I have done so with 2 companies but Experian just refuses to help me in any way. I have tried on their website, and they denied me. I sent a letter in XX/XX/XXXX, along with a check to cover the fee, and have heard nothing. I have called them and get nothing but a menu of pressing numbers that do not help. I have called the XXXX Branch hoping they could find a person to talk to. No. I got an email address. Sent emails, no response. I tried the XXXX branch, no one will call me back. I have done everything in my power to reach these people, and can not. The web site is useless. This whole company is useless. I worked hard all my life to hav good credit and now, thanks to these people my credit could be used to fund someone elses lifestyle. I didnt ask to be a client of theirs, and they are the worst company I have ever tried to deal with.

Received letter dated XX/XX/18 on XX/XX/18 stating " We reviewed your application and can't approve it because we couldn't verify the accuracy of some of the information you provided. '' Called Citi on XX/XX/18 and spoke with representative who told me that they could not give me any further information about what information I provided that was unverifiable. Spoke to supervisor who told me that there was no person who could look into the system and tell me what information was not verified for accuracy. Was not afforded an opportunity to check the information I provided to see if I made a mistake or verify it was correct and look into why their application process failed to verify. Was left with no recourse to correct information so that my application could be reviewed and considered on its merits.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
About 2 weeks ago ( end of XX/XX/XXXX ). I was behind on payments but was able to make the lowed payments, but was still delinquent due to missed past payments. I was contacted ( received a call ) by a rep from sallie mae after making a payment a few days prior. I was told they have a " 3 pay program '' that could help me get caught back up to make my accounts current. How it works was as long as i make my next 3 payments on time, the account will be brought current and the delinquent payments would be added to the end of the loan. I agreed to enter this program and did the verbal verification over the phone on their recorded line and that was the end of it.

Today, I called them to verify that the payment was still scheduled and verify the amount to be paid. I was able to confirm both, but the new rep proceeded to tell me that I was not actually eligible to be in the " 3 pay program '' and that the payments I scheduled and was told would bring me current, would not. The reasoning I was told was due to already having my payments reduced and I " cant be in 2 programs at the same time '' So my complaint would be, why would they call me to tell me about a program, I agree to the terms and enroll into said program, schedule payments, and not actually be eligible from the very beginning?

The lady on the phone was nice so no issue with her, but she said she would " elevate this to a manager '' and then I was on hold for close to 30 min before I hung up. Aint nobody got time for that.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received a recall letter from the XXXX manufacturer for my ( XXXX car ) this vehicle was financed through XXXX XXXX XXXX and I purchased from XXXX XXXX auto dealer ( XXXX, Ohio ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I called the number on the recall and was instructed to contact the local XXXX XXXX in my area which is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did and was instructed to bring my vehicle in for remedy- and at that time would take about 2 weeks and the dealer would provide a loaner vehicle at the manufacturers cost. I took my vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX- it has been 1 year and they still have my vehicle- I have not seen my vehicle and I have made a whole year worth of payments without the vehicle I financed through XXXX XXXX. I have been in loaner vehicles every since. I found out there is a class action lawsuit pertaining to the recall with XXXX. I have made countless calls to my lender who does not care, and it is unacceptable. I made several complaints with the XXXX, FTC, NHTSA, and The Ohio Attorney Generals Office. I stopped my car payments as of XX/XX/XXXX and I notified my lender as to why. Can you please help me?

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We applied for a mortgage through Wells Fargo. We were locked into a rate of 3.25 % for the property. Our offer was not accepted initially. A week later, we resubmitted the offer and when we went back to submit our loan application paper work, we were told the rate on the same property was now 3.5 % because rates had gone up. Had this policy been consistent with a previous loan application, it would not have caused us to submit this complaint, however previously we were told rates were locked to a property for 60 days. On a mortgage application with Wells about 3 months prior, we have documentation where a Wells employee told us that if we apply for a loan for the same property within 60 days, Wells has to lock you into the original rate. In this case, the IR had gone down between our initial application and when the loan documents were being submitted.
It can not be fair and honest that Wells Fargo refuses to lower mortgage rates when the IR falls, but insists on raising mortgage rate for an existing application when the IR increases.

As the mortgage business is already under scrutiny for the fees charged to lock rates, I wanted to check if this was a systemic issue and if Wells can be forced to honor their initial bait and switch 3.25 % I have all the documentation, including conflicting rules sent to me by 2 different members of the mortgage and customer service reps.
