Company: Rosebud Economic Development Corporation
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I have been ill and I tried to get help from my employer to help with bills. They do not help with this and so I had gotten an offer on line from Zaco Loans. They explained that this was a pay day loan intended for short term and I understood however, the percentage rate is so high and I thought I could pay it off. I did however in order to do that I ended up getting another payday loan and then their payment is so high I ended up renewing with Zaco and now I feel like I am in this terrible circle of just trying to cover these payments and still having trouble with my regular bills. I have contacted them and they said there is nothing they can help me with.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
By my count I should have 115 qualifying payments towards my Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I have been enrolled in this since XXXX when my loans were serviced by XXXX XXXX. 
My loans were bought by XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX Something ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I re-sent my Employment Certification Form proving I was a federal employee and every year sent in my tax return to have my payment adjusted under the IBR plan. In XXXX I asked XXXX for a count of my qualifying payments. In an email dated XX/XX/XXXX I was told I had made 54 qualifying payments to XXXX and 17 to XXXX. 
In an email dated XX/XX/XXXX XXXX confirmed that I had made 101 payments but also said it would be up to FedLoan to come up  with the final number and they transferred my loan to them. Up until I thought I was nearing my forgiveness date I had never heard of FedLoan before.

I had to re-send all my Employment Certification Forms. I had had 3 different Fed jobs since starting to payback my loans and FedLoan had no record of any of them.

When FedLoan finally calculated my qualifying payments ( XX/XX/XXXX ) they came up with 49 for one loan and 59 for another. Not only are these numbers ridiculous but my loans have been consolidated since my first PSLF/IBR payment so where they get two different numbers is another mystery. 
Writing to complain about their calculations, I got ( in part ) this answer : The months that did not count as qualifying payment months for public service loan forgiveness include XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX due to an administrative forbearance that was applied to your account, XX/XX/XXXX due to the months full installment amount not being full satisfied, XX/XX/XXXX due to a general forbearance, XX/XX/XXXX due to no bill being generated, XX/XX/XXXX due to an administrative forbearance that was applied to the account, from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX due to a general forbearance and XX/XX/XXXX due to the full installment amount not being fully satisfied. 

What? What a bunch of excuses and XXXX made up behind the scenes and after the fact. Never ever did XXXX or XXXX put my loan in administrative forbearance or did I pay during a general forbearance or any of the other stuff I am hearing about the first time ever. 

Ive read too many articles to count now on how awful and even fraudulent FedLoans is.But I do not know how to go about fixing this. I have never even made a single payment to FedLoan so how they came up with these numbers, I dont know.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019, I submitted an application for a credit card with American Express XXXX XXXX. After purchasing a air ticket on XXXX with the new credit card account XXXX temporary account ), the publicity said that I should receive {$200.00} credit back on my statement after 2 or 3 billing cycles ( due XX/XX/XXXX ). Since then, I called the company multiple times and had a few chat conversations with Amex to ask I did not receive the credit. For my surprise, today, after 4 months, the company refused to give me the credit back, alleging that my credit history with AMEX was not satisfactory based on introductory offers and other products. I asked for a detailed explanation and the agent said that this was all for the moment. I felt completely misled by this bad publicity. I opened the account to get the credit back, and for some unknown reason, I did not get anything at all.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX posted fraudulent claims on XXXX about a carb-cutting supplement. They lied, claiming their product received the highest praise from the TV show XXXX XXXX and included false articles and photos. I was presented with a pop-up web site advertising a free sample, just pay {$5.00} shipping. I figured it was worth the risk. Well, it was not. I received a fake order, package with advertisements only and then a new {$84.00} charge. I disputed the charges and reported my card lost/stolen. Chase removed the {$5.00} charge but refuses to remove the {$84.00} charge. Chase claims I signed up for a subscription. XXXX changed their web site and offer after the sale. I have not received any product or services from XXXX and I emailed them requesting a refund about a month ago. No response! CHASE fraud services told me ... and I quote " Using my credit card is as good as cash '' and " once I provide my card number to a merchant I am giving them permission to charge whatever they want '' This is absurd. Top it off, the first time I called XXXX about the dispute they knew the details immediately without research. The representative was reading the " terms and conditions '' of my order with XXXX. I asked them where they were reading this from and was told " from their web site '' I went to the web site and it required signing in before you could read the terms and conditions. It was a completely different site from what I had seen when I ordered the free sample. How could Chase have known all the details within seconds?? Because they know the scam and protecting the scammers. 
The only reason I fell for this scam, after reading every minute detail and being skeptical ... was because I trusted that if it was a scam that I could simply dispute the charge. Now I see that Chase is  protecting scammers and I can no longer expect the support or protection from credit card companies.
