Complaint narrative:
I purchased a refundable online real estate course. 

Within about two days without accessing any of the course content I reached out to the company and told them I made the purchase too fast and wished to get a refund and sent them a screenshot of their refund policy. 

They initially tried to talk me into staying and even went as far as changing there refund policy which I have proof of via the archive website. Heres the link. https : XXXX : XXXX You can see what there refund policy was on XX/XX/2023. 

After I confronted the business about them changing there refund policy and threatened to dispute and open a complaint they responded, refunded. Will remove access today After the payment cleared I immediately put in a dispute with my credit card company. Citi. 

They recently resolved the the dispute in favor of the merchant even though I have email proof that they stated they would issue the refund and I also have screen shot and digital proof from the archive website showing that they changed the refund policy to no refunds to try and get away with not giving me a refund.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I need to make sure EdFinancial received my latest teacher loan forgiveness application and find out what the status is. In XX/XX/2023, I received a message saying my first application was denied because of the date. I called right away and then uploaded and submitted a new corrected application. 10 days later, I called to confirm they received it and they said they couldn't find it. They told me to upload the document again, so I submitted the updated application again. Now it's been over 60 days and I have not received a message/letter accepting or denying my application. 

I called on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and the wait time was over 7 hours. There was an option to receive a call back but I never received a call back on any days. I submitted an email request on their website with no response. I attempted to use their chat service online but I get this message each time I try : " We apologize, we are unavailable to take your chat at this time. Please try again at a later time. Thank you, goodbye ''. I called 3x each on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX but the system is not working- it doesn't ask for any input and goes silent. Please help me speak to someone from EdFinancial so I can get confirmation my application was received and what the status is. I worked in low-income public schools for 5 consecutive years so that I could qualify for this forgiveness.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I bought a perfume from XXXX and returned it in store the next day because I didnt like it. XXXX was supposed to refund me the {$16.00} I had already paid when I bought the perfume. I got my refund from XXXX and reported the return to afterpay. I heard nothing about it from XXXX so it slipped my mind until today when they suddenly charged me {$16.00} twice, so {$32.00} in total. I had returned the perfume weeks prior to this so Im not sure why they charged me two times for something I dont even have in my possession anymore. Also the order itself on the XXXX app says that payments for the perfume are paused until XX/XX/XXXX because I made the return which makes XXXX sense because again, they took the {$32.00} from me TODAY.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I received information from a Bank of America representative via phone informing me of a forbearance / deferment due to my Covid 19 and Hurricane Ida resulted hardship. I informed the representative that I was working towards catching up on my account. I specifically asked for clarity of the forbearance to ensure I would not have to pay notes occurred during the forbearance at the end of the forbearance. She assured me that those notes would be placed at the end of the mortgage loan period. I had her to repeat to ensure. At the end of my forbearance I was told something different and I am now working on a loan modification. I would have known the correct information, I would have sought out other options. A week ago I was informed by a representative ( XXXX XXXX ) that I needed to send an appeal email requesting information about an outstanding issue. I sent the email immediately and I also sent an appeal email regarding the false information. I informed the representative a week ago that I completed an appeal email regarding the false information I received and still have not received a response. At that time I was informed that I did not need to send an appeal email regarding the information I had just received stating I had an outstanding issue that needed to be addressed. That was again, false information. This is not the first or second time I have sent complaints due to false information from representatives. Bank of America only apologizes and moves on. Unacceptable and not professional at all. I am presently on XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX due to XXXX XXXX  and this situation is only escalating those issues. I have requested that the recorded phone calls be reviewed. Last week, after being told day before that calls would be reviewed, that those calls in questions were not able to be reviewed, yet the representative was able to review several other calls. I am also having difficulties and frustration with representatives during this modification process. They continue to ask for duplicates and information that is noted not retrievable. In particular, after sending several child support check stubs, letter from payor and proof of deposits ( after being told to deposit ), they still continue to ask for evidence that it will continue. On last week I was told that they had a document that showed my payments are XXXX and I have proven otherwise that payments are XXXX XXXX month with several pay stubs and deposits. I am not sure where the errored information came from and the representative could not answer. They were provided everything that could possibly prove receipt and continued payment. After reporting to XXXX, a letter from XXXX noted next steps that were not taken.
