State: IA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I currently bank with Wells Fargo for a child support account.
I withdrawal money from a no surcharge ATM to put money into a separate bank account to utilize. I noticed I keep getting a {$2.00} charge for using a non-wells fargo ATM.
I called and voiced a complaint and asked for specific verbiage on this charge. A Wells Fargo customer service representative escalated it to the office of the president, which is where this complain begins.
There is NO verbiage that going to a no surcharge ATM will in fact still charge you.
Wells Fargo indicated that on page 36 of their customer agreement it indicates that all non Wells Fargo ATMS used you will get a {$2.00} charge. There 's no verbiage about a non surcharge ATM. This falls under Unfair Deceptive Acts and Practices.

Complaint narrative:
My credit score went down more then XXXX points. I called XXXX  and spoke to XXXX and she said nothing changed, does n't know why it went down and to call the credit card company because they do n't generate the scores. ( as if I do n't know anything ). So I asked to speak with a supervisor, I spoke to XXXX XXXX and all he was saying is how it all works but could not talk about me specifically as to why my score went down, just that nothing changed and they do n't generate my score, a computer does. After that I asked to speak to his boss or someone that can help me and then he hung the phone up on me. So I tried to call Experian to see why my score went down and they too could not tell me why my score went down. Just to say I have nothing bad on my report and I always pay on time, even before things are due. So why did my credit score go down. No one wants to help me. This also happened to me about a year ago, XXXX XXXX put the wrong information in and I ended up paying allot more interest then I was supposed to.. I called XXXX XXXX and they corrected it but XXXX XXXX would n't look at my score again so I 'm paying XXXX more in the corse of 30 yrs.. I 've done everything I can to have a excellent Score and I feel like I 'm being taken advantage of from these people.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to Equifax to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. They claimed to open an investigation and found the information was correct. I asked the, to verify that the inquiries were in fact done by me and they could produce no evidence. Therefore, it is unfair with no evidence to assume the inquiries belong to me. According to law, anything on my credit report that is inaccurate information has to be deleted. It can only stay on my report if their is evidence and this bureau could not find any because they were never done by me.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I made the mistake of purchasing a washer, dryer and refrigerator from Sears. I was told that if I opened a Sears credit card that I could get free delivery. After two weeks of waiting, I was told that the items were going to be delivered on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I got a call that morning from the delivery personal that the items were arriving. Then I got a call 2 hours later that the refrigerator was gone. Sears later changed their story, saying the refrigerator was never on the truck. I attempted to cancel the refrigerator twice because Sears told me it would be another two weeks to obtain a refrigerator. They initially refused to cancel the item and when they finally did, they refused to send me written confirmation saying that written confirmation was not possible. Move forward another week, my Sears credit card arrived and I immediately set up a payment ( in XXXX ). Sears waited until XX/XX/XXXX to submit a letter that they could not run the payment, but they never sent me a letter even though I had n't yet signed up for paperless billing. Come the XXXX, I find out I have a late fee and my bank says there is nothing wrong with my routing or checking account number. I called customer service and tried paying yet again only to get another letter that THAT payment did n't go through ( I used a debit card the 2nd time ) and that my late fee had not been removed as per the reps assurance. I have spent 22 years handling my credit with kid gloves only to have it ruined by Sears. Their practices are unethical and it is no surprise they are going out of business!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. This complaint is regarding FedLoan Servicing.
In early XXXX, I submitted documentation to switch some recently consolidated loans to the Pay As You Earn payment plan. It is now late XXXX and I am still not switched over to the new payment plan. I have been forced pay over {$1000.00} more on my loans than what I should be paying under the Pay As You Earn plan. I call every few weeks and they say that they will " have it handled soon '' and that 's the only feedback I can receive from them. I am participating in the PSLF program so I am unable to pay their suggested forbearance rates as they do not count towards my 120 payments. The policy says that it should take 7-10 business days to process a repayment plan change. It is nearly 100 days since I have record of FedLoan Servicing receiving the application to change to Pay As You Earn. I 've attached a picture of the certified mail receipt corroborating this. FedLoan Servicing did not even acknowledge receiving my repayment plan application until XX/XX/XXXX, or nearly 60 days after they actually received it.
While the standard policy is that I only have to make one standard repayment to switch, I 've been forced to make 3 to 4 standard repayments. I have contacted them repeatedly over the past 100 days and have never been able to get my application processed. This is incredibly frustrating, especially since this is not an easy process to begin with and I have done all of my due diligence to get these applications processed.
I will at some point have to consider legal action as FedLoan servicing refuses to process my application, costing me hundreds every month and preventing me from making progress against my PSLF program ( which is a major reason why I have chosen to work at a non-profit ).
I desperately need someones help to get this resolved.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I filed for Chapter XXXX bankruptcy due to my mortgage payment behind with at the time XXXX XXXX. The court was given an amount for my arrears balance and I was required to continue to make my monthly mortgage payments. At that time with XXXX. Mid XXXX I received a notice that my loan was now being serviced by GreenTree. So I began to make my mortgage payment via bill pay to them. Payments on the arrears balance came from the trustee and I made my monthly payments. At one point in late XXXX I became unemployed and I fell behind. My attorney work with the mortgage servicer work out an agreement in XX/XX/XXXX where I paid one catch up payment of XXXX and an additional payment of XXXX each month for six month. Thankfully my bankruptcy was discharged and paid in full XX/XX/XXXX. However, at that point the mortgage servicer has now changed their name to Ditech. After 40 months in bankruptcy in XXXX Ditech submitted to the trustee that I still owed 4 months of payments. I contacted my attorney and the bankruptcy department at Ditech and ask for someone to please explain how this was possible. I made all of my payments and I request a payment history from the company. Each time I requested documents or spoke with anyone the balance of what I " owed '' changed. I filed a formal dispute with the company via phone, and given the lack of cooperation I resorted to shame tactics on XXXX. Since XXXX I have tried to get a straight answer out of Ditech. I received only one detail email response back from the company and all of their information and dates on the email were incorrect and did not reflect payments I made. In additional I pointed out that their information in the email was completely different than the payment history I finally received via mail. It is now the end of XXXX and there is still no resolution. Ditech/Greentree received fines by this agency and the Federal Trade Commission just two years ago for these same tactics. Poor recordkeeping, collection notices sent while the customer is disputing the debt. Nothing seems to have changed with them. But I know it is unreasonable to expect me to pay back monies I already paid due to their poor recordkeeping. meanwhile I am still making my current monthly mortgage payments each month only to have the monies applied to an arrears balance that is not accurate and that I do not owe.
Attached are copies of the Order Denying Motion for Relief from XXXX-My written dispute letter with Ditech.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This issue was NOT resolved. One of the issues was the interest rate. Navient alleges they had to charge the interest rates they charged in the previous years. The used the government regulation as a reason to charge these interest rates they charged. They can do better on the interest rate and the government is not opposed to this. Also their repayment plans are an insult and are set up to make you pay more than you can handle. These plans SHOULD be revamped.
