Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I took out a loan with this company in the amount of {$XXXX}. They led me to believe that I would be making a monthly payment not every payday. They also did not provide the APR rate to me which turned out to be XXXX. This in itself is outrageous. But what really set me off was when I called customer service and spoke with XXXX on XXXX, simply asking what my account number was ( which was not anywhere on my online account either ) was told after being on hold for a very long time that they were unable to provide me with this information. What legitimate company can not provide you with your account number?

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Problem with the interest rate
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Discover student loans for a student loan for my daughter which I was going to co-sign. They asked how much I make, but also asked how much was in my savings and retirement accounts. 
I 'm a XXXX so I only make approximately {$15000.00} a year but my FICO score is XXXX ( which I would say is better than most ). 
The form also proceeded to ask what my savings account had as well as my retirement account. I told them {$20000.00} in savings/money market and {$300000.00} in retirement. 
Well, it came back with a 8.990 % loan figure which is ridiculous. 
I proceeded to contact the bank at which time they basically told me that the only things they look at are the income and the FICO score. So I asked the girl that was helping me why they asked the questions about how much money I have and she did not know. She even put me on hold for a few minutes and came back and still did not have an answer. 
At that point, I asked why do they even ask the questions about how much money we have in our accounts if you are not even going to consider them, and she did not have an answer for that. I then told her that the bank needs to take those questions off their form if they are not going to use them as a basis for the loan. She really had no comment except she said she would pass the suggestion on.

Company: Meridian ARG Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have received repeated calls and voicemails from a company claiming to be Cambridge Asset Management. The voicemails threaten some type of legal action and threaten to attempt to find me at my home and place of employment. The name of the individual they reference in the messages is not mine.
I received calls and voicemails from this group on XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, 2017. Each time I have returned these calls and advised that I am not the individual they are looking for and requested that I receive no further calls. Each time I was advised that my number was removed and that calls would stop within 48 hours.
On my most recent call I spoke with a XXXX XXXX who claimed that I had never contacted this group as they had just opened the file. She later stated that I had received several voicemails from XXXX XXXX, but that no return calls had been logged. She advised that she would remove my number. When I asked to speak with her supervisor as this was the same information I had been given in my previous calls, she ended the call.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Though I have flawless payment history, and have stayed under my credit limits at all times, the issuer has reduced my credit limits and negatively impacted my FICO scores due to credit usage. This is unfair, in that Ive stayed reasonably under the limits to avoid this problem, but when the company arbitrarily reduced my limits, the net impact on me was that my usage went from 60 % -70 % up to 95 % by virtue of the company reducing my limit. Ive complied with the companys policies, paid on time, never paid less than minimums, and not exceeed the limit, yet Ive been negatively impacted by the companys actions.
