Complaint narrative:
Bank of America is engaging in fraudulent activity when consumers apply for their credit cards. In XX/XX/XXXX I applied for the Bank of America XXXX  Signature credit card and was not approved. However, Bank of America automatically approved me for the Bank of America XXXX Platinum Plus card. This is an entirely different product with a different annual fee and different features. At no point in time did I apply for this card, nevertheless Bank of America opened it in my name and it appears on my credit report.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX 2017 I consolidate my federal student loans with Navient, while working on that, Navient informed me that I did n't have to make any payments on any of my loans and that I was only to make the payment towards the consolidate loans, hence I stopped making the payments towards my private student loan with Navient, in XXXX Navient contacts me to tell me that my private student loans are in delinquency and they are calling to collect the money. I told Navient that I was n't aware of that and that I was under the understanding that all my loans had been consolidate into one payment, including federal and private student loans, Navient admitted to have given me the wrong information and the reason they did that was because their federal and private systems do n't communicate with each other. Now Navient wants me to settle my account, however due to the delinquency that appears on my credit score, I have n't been able to get a lender, even with a co-signer. Navient is not willing to work around this, even thou they created obstacles to repayment by providing bad information.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I live at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. I 'm am now a retired XXXX and have an XXXX from a well known XXXX school. I now spend considerable time helping people, FOR FREE, that are referred to me by my pastor or one of the deacons in my church. One such referral was a widow who, together with her husband, took out a line-of-credit loan on their home for the purpose of building a handicapped-accessible bathroom for her husband who, by then, had become wheelchair bound. They borrowed the money from Wells Fargo Bank and were strong-armed into taking out " life insurance '' on the loan. What the bank did was far more egregious than the auto insurance scam everybody is so excited about today. It 's worth looking into - someone should. After reading the " life insurance contract '' language, you would believe that you had purchased life insurance protection on your loan. YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!! Instead, you would eventually learn, as did the widow mentioned above, that you had only purchased a " debt repayment management tool. '' It was nothing but a 13 % surcharge on the loan that provided no benefit whatsoever for the borrower, but a very nice " extra kicker '' for Wells Fargo. If anybody at the CFPB wants to discuss this issue further, I can be reached at my home telephone number : ( XXXX ) XXXX. Thank you for taking the time to read this treatise and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with CFPB. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Equitable Acceptance Corp
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I signed a digital contract with Equitable Acceptance Corporation ( also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to pay them a specified amount ( $ XXXX/ month ) for a total financed amount of {$1300.00} over the course of 3 years for services rendered by The Student Loan Relief Department for student loan debt reconsolidation. After calling multiple numbers provided for different departments for both The Student Loan Relief Department and Equitable Acceptance Corporation ( also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) since XX/XX/XXXX I have not been able to reach anyone. Student Loan Relief Department : XXXX XXXX, Enrollment Advisor, XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX Student Loan Relief Department : XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department : XXXX XXXX, Quality Assurance Manager, XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX Student Loan Relief Department : XXXX XXXX, Client Services, XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX Student Loan Relief Department : XXXX XXXX, Enrollment Account Specialist, ( XXXX ) XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX of the numbers that I was provided for The Student Loan Relief Department has since been changed to that of a department store. When I call the number on their website it will ring and then the call is ended. In XX/XX/XXXX I was alerted by my credit monitoring agency that my credit score had dropped a significant amount because I was not notified that my required repayment period had begun 90 days prior and I was never notified via telephone, e-mail or US mail, despite efforts to contact these companies prior to my credit score dropping. I contacted my original loan servicer, Fed Loan Servicing, at which time they notified me that Student Loan Relief Department changed all of my passwords and usernames for my profile. I did not give them permission to access, nor changed my account with my original loan servicer. I was finally able to get into contact with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) at Equitable Acceptance Corporation ( also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. I requested that my account be cancelled because the promised services were not rendered ( student loan debt consolidation & public service loan forgiveness document preparation ). At this time I was told that a manager would contact me. On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX direct line and I have not been able to contact him since. To date, I have paid this company Equitable Acceptance Corporation ( also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) {$190.00} for services that they are not providing. I have since removed my bank account from their website so that they can not debit any money. I know that this will eventually end in my credit score being affected yet again because of missed payments.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Problem with signing the paperwork
Company: Carvana Group, LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a car online through Carvana and was approved with XXXX deposit. I submitted the paperwork they requested for proof of income ( 2 paycheck stubs ) and proof of address ( bank statement and cable bill ), then they requested more because I work for myself. They requested that I send in 3 months of BUSINESS bank statements. This loan through them was under my personal social security number and was to be a personal call not a business car. I called them and told them that I did not feel comfortable sending in bank statements from my business nor would our board allow that to happen, so instead I was asked to send in my W2 which I did. The next day I got a email saying they are still requesting 3 months of business bank statements. At this point I have asked for my application to be removed from the system. It 's not okay to ask for someone to send in business banking statements that have nothing to do with the loan at hand

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Card issuer, American Express, refuses to send me paper statements despite my request they do so. Their stated position is statements are available electronically and can be printed. Personally, I prefer to receive paper statement in the mail for review and as a payment reminder. I have incurred late fees for delinquent payment, which I will attribute to not being aware a payment was due. I prefer to receive paper statements in the mail as a way to manage my personal finances and payment obligations. I think card issuers should be required to provide paper statements if only upon request. Can you help me with this?

State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I had a loan modification in 2015 which was completed and my payments are now up to date and current, however they are being reported as 120/180 days late by Equifax which is incorrect. I have been 30 day late but not 120 or 180 days late since my modification of my mortgage. This information makes my mortgage history look worse than it actually is and when I tried to correct by sending my bank statements and cancelled checks it still was not updated to reflect correctly.
