Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out for your assistance because I am never able to get any help by telephone or within the branches. Recently my account was overdrawn just under {$5.00} and I deposited money to bring to correct the matter. Days later my account was over-drafted for transactions that should have already been deducted from my available amount within my checking account. Because of this my account is now over {$150.00} overdrawn including numerous fees. I have contacted customer service who refused to assist with waiving some of the fees if I was able to deposited money. They directed me to a payment assistance group who also refused to help. They informed me that I will receive additional overdraft fees this Friday as well. This is not the norm for my account to be overdrawn and when I do contact your company for help I am always met with refusal. I chose your bank because I felt you were different then other banks out there but you are actually worse because those other banks actually do attempt to work with or help their customer to show they do value them. This is not the only incident with your company. Back in XX/XX/XXXX of this year my tax returns were deposited and I went to the branch located within XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Oregon to withdrawal {$3000.00}. When these funds were attempted to be deposited at XXXX XXXX XXXX within my wife 's account she was told one of the {$100.00} bills was counterfeit. XXXX XXXX XXXX stated they could not give it back to her and they had to report it. When I contacted that branch about the matter they refused to help saying " Their bankers are trained to catch counterfeit bills. '' The banker that assisted me with the withdrawal was new because her manager had to sign off on the transaction. The manager did not check the cash and the banker did not mark them or check to confirm there were no counterfeit bills. Just because someone is trained to something does not mean you are going to be accurate all the time. We are humans and we make mistakes. I did not make a complaint at that time because I was already met with refusal of help and I had received that same reaction before. If you need to reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX to confirm this you can contact XXXX XXXX at XXXX or XXXX. My wife 's name is XXXX XXXX and the attempted deposit was made on X/XX/17.

Company: First Data Corporation
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was offered a credit card machine through XXXX XXXX XXXX for my small business. I was approached with this offer by a salesman at my place of work in XX/XX/XXXX ; I did not seek it out. The XXXX salesperson showed me the cost of the machine, but he did not mention that I would be leasing it from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I found this out when signing the paperwork.
<P/>In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX closed my account because my business was classified as a money service business. Nothing about my business practices had changed, so XXXX should have known this classification from the beginning. With the XXXX account closed, I was no longer able to use the credit card machine. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX would not allow me to cancel my lease, despite sending the equipment back in XX/XX/XXXX. My options were to continue leasing a useless machine for three more years or to end the lease by paying an opt-out fee. In order to end the lease, I was required to pay more than five times the total market value of the credit card machine even though I was not the party who had closed the original account. <P/>While I was disputing this with First Data, they sent the balance to collections which put a hold on my business credit line. <P/>In conclusion, I was misled by XXXX bank on multiple counts : 1 ) Leasing the device from a third party and 2 ) my business ' eligibility for an account with XXXX. I was then bounced between XXXX and First Data customer service, and then ultimately frustrated by First Data 's unethical business practices.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My account right now is in deferment. I have been making payments and I noticed my overall amount I owe has gone up. I looked into it and saw they upped my interest rate to 10 % on my lower loan. I had no idea. My loans are in deferment because I 'm currently in school and they increase my interest rates during this process. These rates are so high I will never be able to afford these and they did all this as my loans were in deferment, making all the money I have been putting down completely pointless. They are trying to make this impossible for me to ever pay back. They can not increase my interest rates whenever they like to such high amounts that I cant even afford anymore.

I 've complained already once about Lend Smarts employee - XXXX XXXX ( alias ), legal name XXXX XXXX working with confidential information, specifically thousands of social security numbers when he previously used social security numbers to obtain credit cards in others names.

Complaint narrative:
On  XXXX / XXXX / 2017  I paid Hyundai Motor Finance my monthly lease bill of {$380.00} for my Hyundai  XXXX . I had an error on my internet cause the browser to refresh. The payment had came out  XXXX  times causing my checking account to overdraft into - {$900.00} including penalties and fees. I had contacted Hyundai Motor Finance shortly after the discovery of the overdraft. They promised me a refund when I spoke with a representative. I contacted them again a couple days later and I spoke with a representative to find out when the refund will be, because myself and my family are hurting so bad financial. The representative said they wont refund me the full amount which is {$760.00} they will only give me {$380.00} and the extra payment can go towards this or next months bill. They also stated it takes 20 days for a refund. I immediately contacted my bank to dispute the charges. It is apparent that Hyundai Motor Finance does NOT fulfill their financial obligations of a refund and this is considered a crime of theft.

Why do you not pay attention? I made a second bank wire on XX/XX/XXXX. They still have not acknowledged receiving my XX/XX/XXXX payment. They have my money and have not applied it to my loan. Their bank XXXX XXXX acknowledge receiving it. And they have reported me " missed payment '' twice until I made two payments in XXXX XXXX. In my first complaint that they did n't respond to and you closed I submitted the three bank wire documents, the one with XXXX XXXX payment, the one with XXXX XXXX payment, and one from XXXX XXXX  stating they received the XXXX XXXX payment. Do I have to keep submitting complaints until someone at CFPB does their job? Who do I report you to? I will for the third time upload these documents in this my third complaint because you did n't do what tax payers are paying your salary to do. Make them acknowledge receiving my money apply it to my loan or give it back. If you will read and pay attention to the information on each document will see that there is a wire for XXXX XXXX and for XXXX XXXX and the third document is a response from XXXX XXXX acknowledging receipt of the XXXX payment.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Navient, with no permission from me, placed my loans into a " Courtesy Hold Period '' at which time no automatic payments ( controlled by Navient ) were received yet interest was accrued to the benefit of Navient.
<P/>
In XX/XX/XXXX, I asked Navient if my loans were income based, in order to understand if I qualified for XXXX XXXX student loan forgiveness, as I am a XXXX XXXX
<P/>
My payments are pulled from my bank account from Navient, using their AutoPay feature which was set up years ago. I noticed in XX/XX/XXXX that they had not received a payment in three months. <P/> I called to ask why my payments were not received. They explained that my account was put on a Courtesy Hold ... As a result of my questioning as to if my loans were income based payments or not, they decided to put a " courtesy hold '' on these payments for three months and reinitiated my automatic payments for XX/XX/XXXX. <P/>
At no point did I agree to delaying my payments. I did not want a three month loan from them. They forced the loan on me and probably many other customers. I can afford the payments and want to be rid of my student loan debt as soon as possible. This scheme clearly only benefits Navient and is not a courtesy at all. Combined with many other customers it is clear that Navient has much to gain from these types of practices.
<P/>
Please help all of us costumers of Navient ... .it is clear they are taking advantage of everyone.
