Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my wife and I made a large payment to an installment loan we originated through EnerBank USA. At the time of the payment, we were informed that EnerBank does not have the ability to process principal only payments, which I found to be odd in and of itself. 

We submitted the payment in an effort to pay off our note faster and reduce the principal balance. On XX/XX/year>, I noticed that our normal monthly payment had not been debited from our checking account since we made the payment on XX/XX/year>. This morning, XX/XX/year>, I spoke with EnerBank and was informed that due to the payment in XXXX, our monthly payments were deferred until XXXX, however, we were still accruing interest daily on our account ( approximately $ XXXX ). I informed the representative that it was not disclosed to us that our payments would be deferred as we had established a monthly auto-draft. I requested that EnerBank waive the accrued interest as it wasn't disclosed at the time of the payment that XXXX our payments would be deferred, and XXXX that we would accrue interest in the period of deferment. The representative stated that this information was presented in the terms and conditions of our loan, however it was never to disclosed to us verbally at the time of payment. Had my wife and I known that we would continue to accrue interest, we would have made additional payments to reduce the interest impact.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Card is a Citibank card ( Specifically XXXX XXXX branded ). They are charging an XXXX of 28.24 %, and I have called them twice and spoke with a supervisor twice requesting a lower XXXX. I don't have a history of late payments or no payments, and a FICO score rated good ( above XXXX ). 

Twice the supervisors have stated that they changed it up because it's their prerogative. Neither time there was another explanation other than it's because they can. 

This is in no way a complaint about the people I spoke to, on both occasions they were very cordial and professional. But they could not explain the rate increase, or do anything about. 

I am attempting to pay off the balance, but at this point Citi is making very difficult to do so. This sounds predatory to me. 

For reference, right now I have a Credit Card with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX at around 18.24 %

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am filing a new complaint regarding the ongoing issues I am experiencing with TransUnion in relation to a fraudulent XXXXXXXX XXXX account ( Account Number : XXXX ) on my credit report. Despite my multiple attempts to resolve this matter, TransUnion has continued to respond with automated messages, failing to provide a meaningful resolution. 

Since my initial complaint, I have submitted the following documentation : Two forms of identification A copy of my Social Security card A police report ( Report Number : XXXX ) A Credit Identity Fraud Report through the government These documents have been sent as requested, yet the issue remains unresolved, and TransUnion has continued to send automated responses. This lack of proper action on their part is frustrating and has caused significant stress, as this fraudulent account is severely affecting my credit score, hindering my ability to secure housing and loans. 

Despite providing everything they asked for, including completing the necessary affidavit, the fraudulent XXXXXXXX XXXX account is still being reported as verified. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Sections 609 and 611, I am requesting immediate action to resolve this issue. If TransUnion can not provide original, signed documentation for the disputed account, they must remove it from my credit report. 

The delays and the inadequate responses from TransUnion have gone on for far too long. I ask for your help in ensuring this issue is resolved promptly and properly. Additionally, I would appreciate an updated credit report once the fraudulent account has been removed. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
