Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is being filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, currently representing XXXX XXXX XXXX in the Foreclosure Case against her No. XXXX ( Plaintiff : Santander Bank ).

We have been assisting XXXX XXXX   throughout a Loss Mitigation Process as she works diligently to avoid foreclosure and resolve her delinquency. All documents requested by the Servicer ( also the Plaintiff, Santander Bank ) have been provided and it has been confirmed all documents have been received.

Santander Bank is not accepting the format on which XXXX XXXX gets paid. In an effort to assist the Servicer to verify income, we have provided supplemental income proof ( XXXX Employer Letter and Tax Return ). The Servicer refuses to verify income for XXXX XXXX  and they continue to ask for Pay Stubs to be provided in the specific format they request.

XXXX XXXX XXXX has no other way of showing her income. Her employer will not modify their Pay Stub format for a Loss Mitigation Review. We believe it to be in bad faith that Santander is not considering any alternate way of income verification.

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX. i was reviewing my credit rating ( XXXX ) on XXXX XXXX.i saw the add for loans at reasonable rates. i can not remember if i applied on line or by phone. i received a loan packet 3 days later, with loan documents that were routine, asking personal info, and loan amount requested. i faxed the app to a office in indiana. they returned questions to me over about 7 days, and after i faxed the completed questions to indiana i was told by a phone call i was approved, but had to speak to a loan officer. i spoke to the loan officer, and he told me i was approved for {$3800.00} and not {$5500.00}. he also told me i would pay payments of {$170.00} per month, and the months were not discussed, and the interest would be 25 %, is what i heard, but over the phone, was not the rate! it was 35 %, of which i would find out later and would have refused! also the loan officer asked if i would do auto payments, to which i said ok. the money was deposited in my account on XX/XX/XXXX.since that date i have requested the loan papers, and later found out the interest rate at 35 %, and since then i have call one main, and spoke to many people for help. i have been told that they will not change the rate, but was told to pay off the loan to fix the issue, among many other suggestions. i did receive the loan papers after many calls to them on XX/XX/XXXX,1 1/2 months after the loan was given. i have a problem with the disclosure of the loan! they were not upfront with the info of the loan, and didnt want me to have it! because i was persistent, i finally receive the documents! i have no issue with paying back the money, but the interest is almost as much as the loan! this to me is predatory, and not fair. thank you XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
There are several personal information that are very old on all three credit report agencies that I have written letters to to have these information removed and/or updated to which responses have been sent back to me indicating that these information were removed. The following year once I've requested a new report I then see that the same old information reappears on the report. Particularly TransUnion has several times failed to verify my identity while I made attempts to apply for credit due to their systems still containing old information that I could not confirm/verify during phone calls. 

Any help in having this issue rectified would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you XXXX XXXX

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I purchased 2 watches as gifts from the XXXX mall location in Wisconsin of XXXX 's on XX/XX/XXXX. My purchase total was {$690.00}. Since I already have a Sterling Credit Card I knew that purchases over {$500.00} were qualified to be interest free for 6 months. I confirmed with the gentleman that I made the purchase from that this was correct and he agreed. 

I then had to take back one of the watches because my stepdad didn't like the style and wanted to pick something different. We exchanged one watch on XX/XX/XXXX for a different one. I did get a {$76.00} credit into my account since the new watch I purchased didn't cost as much as the first one. This would still leave me with a {$610.00} purchase- still should have been qualified for no interest. 

To my surprise I was charged with my first finance charge of {$12.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I then emailed the company ( an option when you are logged into your account online ) on XX/XX/XXXX and asked why I was being charged interest. I received an answer on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX stating that the promotional plan I was interested in requires a 20 % down payment at the time of purchase so I wasn't eligible. 

My response on XX/XX/XXXX to that was that I was not informed at the time of purchase that I was required to make a down payment or I would have done so. I then asked for the situation to be handled or I would be filing a formal complaint. That response was : a very general : XXXX XXXX  issues your account and responds to all credit related inquires on XX/XX/XXXX. This infuriated me. I had to actually wait to calm down about this situation before I filed the complaint. I work in customer relations at a bank and would never blow off a customer that states they will file a formal complaint. I deal with them everyday and make sure that whatever they ask for is handled. For me to get treated like this when the shoe is on the other foot is a slap in the face. 

I thought I would wait one month to see if I'm still being charged interest and sure enough I am.
