Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Can't stop withdrawals from your account
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for overdraft protection for my checking account with TD bank on XX/XX/XXXX and I was misinformed multiple times about how it worked. I was told on XX/XX/XXXX that I could write a check out for my rent and car payment and I had 60 days to get my account positive and that it would not affect my credit and the checks would not bounce. Well after a couple of weeks all the checks I sent out bounced and until I talked to a supervisor around XX/XX/XXXX he finally told me I had to have my account positive for a check to clear. I stated to him that I had told numerous customer service representatives that I had lost my income and that I was given the correct information. I was only given back about {$170.00} worth of overdraft fees and my account is still negative {$730.00} today.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Equifax. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Equifax failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting, nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a movie subscription that did not inform the buyer there would be additional charges. I tried to cancel and they would not let me. I disputed the charge and the bank was able to resolve this but the day after the dispute the movie company put through an additional unauthorized charge and I disputed that. The bank issued a temporary refund, then a permanent one but then reversed the permanent one saying they couldn't work anything out with the company. I am hoping you can reach out to either Citibank or the  movie company XXXX and find out why unauthorized charges are allowed to go through and not returned when disputed.

Company: Credit Adjustments Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I sent my tax paperwork into credit adjustment on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by the agent that I was clear of an offset and that he didnt see anything on my account. He said as long as I set up my first payment I was good. I set up my payments and made sure they took them out of my account each month. I filed my taxes XX/XX/XXXX. Im in a group on XXXX and saw that there is a number to call to check on offsets and I called it. Sure enough there was on offset with department of education. I called Department of Education & Credit Adjustments and was informed an offset was placed on my account XX/XX/XXXX. I filed a complaint against the agent for giving me false information. If he wouldve told me that I had an offset I wouldnt have filed my taxes until the offset was lifted. My complaint was resolved and the Department of Education proved my claimed was valid and that he did indeed give me false information. But, they were still moving on with collections and he was going to be talked to and go into training. This is ridiculous, I shouldnt still be penalized because of what the agents you hired told me.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been making student loan payments on and off for 20 years to Nelnet. In XXXX i started making consistent payments on income based repayment plan. After 1 year the principal balance of my loan went up several thousant dollars because of interest, I called and said i wanted my payment amount to at least cover the interest so my balance would not go up. They changed my plan to an extended plan which i did not authorize. I would not have authorized a plan that would not qualify me for the Public Service Forgiveness program if it had been explained to me. I am a XXXX and told them i wanted to be part of that new program, that people were just starting to hear about in XXXX. But they did change my plan unbeknownst to me and 7 years worth of nearly {$1000.00} a month payments never gave me credit toward the Forgiveness Program. My balance never went down and now close to my retirement they told me I still owe what I owed 7 years ago and no payments went toward the Forgiveness Program. I want credit toward the Forgiveness Program for those 7 years.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After having paid off loan 1-02 Direct Loan - Unsubsidized on XXXX for {$1600.00}, I called customer service to have my autopay loan 1-07 DL Consolidated - Unsubsidized payment adjusted to match what it had been in prior months. Every month that I finish paying off one of my loans, Navient will change the amount of the autopay being paid to the higher interest loans and always in their favor. For example, instead of adjusting the payment schedule on the lower interest loans, they always short the highest interest loans. 

When they finally adjusted the payment allocation correctly to loan 1-07 DL Consolidated - Unsubsidized in XXXX, they opened one of my paid off loans ( 1-02 Direct Loan - Unsubsidized ) and added a principal balance of {$110.00}. How is it possible that after I have paid off a loan in totality can they reopen the loan to add back principal when I have other loans that are still outstanding that they can adjust? 

This is a monthly occurrence with Navient and they have abused their role as a student loan service provider.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Several XXXX serviced accounts went delinquent XX/XX/XXXX and stayed delinquent until XX/XX/XXXX. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX these should no longer have been reported as delinquent due to the statute of limitations. 

I disputed this information several times with the CRA and XXXX then changed the information to make it appear more recent. 

This is classic case of an unfair and deceptive trade practice. I have applied for a loan and if my interest rate is directly affected due to this false information, I will sustain an financial injury to which I will be owed damages.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted my information on American Express site and received a pre-qualified offer for XXXX points for spending {$5000.00} in 3 months on the American Express Platinum card. I was approved for the card and started using it immediately back in XXXX. I spent the $ XXXX in the first month, but after 3 months I noticed the points weren't there. I contacted Amex and they opened an investigation but said it could take up to 2 months. I just contacted them again and they are saying I'm not eligible for the bonus because their backend team says that it said on my screen that I wasn't eligible for the bonus. First off, this is completely false as I never saw anything on my screen saying I wasn't eligible when I applied. Secondly, this wasn't a public offer, I submitted information and was provided this pre-qualified offer of the higher XXXX point bonus ( I have attached a screenshot of the offer I received ). I'm completely in awe that Amex would make something like this up to not give me the bonus. They haven't provided any proof, they just make a claim and can pull this off.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I negotiated a new lease on my XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Florida. Despite a 3 hour negotiation none of the XXXX employees advised me that my lease for the new car would overlap the last month of the old car. This resulted in my making two payments in one month for one car. If I had known I would have opted to either negotiate that XXXX pay off my last payment or I would have opted to wait a month before signing a new lease. 

The result is I paid {$250.00} to XXXX for a car I had returned during the signing of a new lease. I feel this practice was either deliberate or the sales personnel were to eager to sign a new contract that their attitude was the consumer be damned.
