Complaint narrative:
This loan originated from a predatory school. A portion The federal portion of the loans has been deleted, and the remaining is in the process of deletion following the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX lawsuit. 

Since the exhaustion of my forbearance period and back-to-school pauses ( around XXXX  with some other periods in between ), I have been making payments I can't afford. I have probably paid close to the original borrowed amount and now owe {$53.00} thousandover XXXX XXXXXXXX more than the original amount. Since the pandemic, I have been paying ever-increasing interest-only installments and seeing my principal still rising. 

Currently, I have been paying non-stop for at least XXXX. With the interest increases, I am paying close to one-third of my current income. I keep requesting an adjusted lower interest or another program that would allow me to breathe, and because I have never been in arrears or default, I always get denied. 

California sued NAVIENT regarding predatory loans, and people in default had their loans deleted. I am trapped in this situation because I can't get into a default to protect my credit and cosigner 's. I can't progress in my life because I have this anchor whose weight is suffocating me. 

I just finished a six-month interest-only program and am completely broke. NAVIENT won't do anything to help. 

NAVIENT knows that this loan originated from a predatory school ( the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and yet they are doing nothing to ease the struggle I am experiencing to get this debt cleared. It just seems to make sure it is ever-increasing and keeps me down.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, on XX/XX/2024 at XXXXXXXX XXXX, I deposited a total of XXXX dollars into my checking account to a Bank of America ATM in XXXX, Virginia and have received nothing. 
( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX ) ATM NUMBER : XXXX Firstly, everything was working fine. I entered my information onto the ATM keypad and decided to deposit a total of XXXX $ in cash. I first brought out XXXX XXXX and deposited this money into the ATM to go to my checking account. It said it deposited correctly on the BOA ATM. After I saw that it worked fine, showed the right amount, and deposited correctly, I clicked the deposit more money option and proceeded to take out ( XXXX ) XXXX $ bills and deposit more cash my checking account, ( same day ) but, When I was depositing the last amount of my cash, the ATM spit out a error message, canceled out, and I didnt receive any money back at all. 
The error card said We apologize for the inconvenience. We are unable to process your request and can not return your item ( s ) please contact the electronic claims team at XXXX to discuss this transaction.. I immediately checked my banking information to see if I had received the XXXX XXXX but, no transaction went through to my online account and I am stuck with no money. 

I later followed up about this issue with the XXXX XXXX department and explained everything that happened that day to them. They said I would receive mail, and temporary credit into my checking account ( 2-10 days ), and then would permanently add the money into my account ( this could take up to 45 days ) after this issue happened. It has been about 5 days so far. I do not have that much time to wait as I have to use this money to help payoff my families house payment. I have checked everyday, and I have received nor have been compensated for that error. I am concerned because I have not received my temporary credit nor any mail, and the money I deposited on that day was crucial to me. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am lodging a formal complaint against Social Finance , Inc. ( SoFi ) due to their failure to honor a {$300.00} direct deposit welcome promo that I rightfully qualified for in XX/XX/XXXX. According to SoFi 's terms, this promotional bonus was supposed to be credited to my account within 25 days after the direct deposit verification. 

Since I met the qualifying condition with over {$5000.00} deposited in XX/XX/XXXX, I have been in consistent contact with SoFi, following up on a weekly to bi-weekly basis. Despite the numerous inquiries and the considerable time invested in communication with SoFi 's customer service, my efforts have not resulted in the promised bonus being credited to my account. 

The interactions have involved various representatives of SoFi, each confirming my eligibility but failing to resolve the matter. The inconvenience and financial and moreso the time impact due to this ongoing issue are unacceptable and significant. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, several months have elapsed, and the situation remains unresolved despite SoFi 's repeated assurances. This situation has diminished my trust in SoFi 's promotional campaigns and their customer service 's ability to effectively resolve customer issues, resulting in me transferring my direct deposit for XX/XX/XXXX to a trusted bank instead of Sofi.

I kindly request that the CFPB intervene and conduct an investigation into this matter to ensure that SoFi fulfills their promotional obligations and prevents similar situations from occurring to other customers. 

I have many screenshots of my communication with SoFi, evidencing my continued effort to address this problem and their acknowledgment of the issue. 

Thank you for your attention and assistance with this matter. I am ready to provide any additional information needed to facilitate your investigation.
