Complaint narrative:
Credit Karma promised I would get approved for a loan. Which I applied and my score dropped because I wasnt qualified which they stated to me I was in the 100 % approval. I would not be going through this if theyve never offered it to me. This is not the first time this has happened to me while using Credit Karma, They should not give false information, especially to people like me who is trying to fix their credit.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial immediately after receiving the news of Bidens Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in XXXX. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I am eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I paid almost $ XXXX in payments, essentially taking advantage of the no interest to pay them off. 

It seems as though edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until XXXX at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in XXXX. 

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have 2 credit card accounts with Barclays Bank. I have attempted to pay off both accounts in full and used the total balance due as the amount to pay the accounts in full before the due dates shown on both statements. However, the amount shown as the total balance to pay account in full that was showing was insufficient and I was charged additional interest of approximately {$70.00} on one account and {$50.00} on the other account. My concern/complaint is that the total balance that should have been showing on my statement was in fact not the total balance and Im being charged additional interest. If I had known that the balance was higher I would have paid that amount to avoid any additional interest charges. This is very deceitful by Barclays because I was not allowed to pay off the account in full because they reported an incorrect payment due to pay off the accounts in full so they can charge me the additional interest for an additional month. I tried calling Barclays and the customer service rep XXXX in XXXX told me it was for residual interest but was not able to explain what that amount was not included in total balance due I asked for a supervisor and was put on hold for over 30 minutes after which I hung up.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I'm a current student enrolled in a XXXX college. I had a student loan in XXXX and I decided to pay it back when I thought interests would rise back up at the end of the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I wanted to make a payment ahead of time so I did. I made it a payment of {$1500.00} to my student loan provider Edfinancial and they processed it on XX/XX/XXXX. Two days later, President Joe Biden made the announcement that all federal loans would be cancelled. I know I qualify for the forgiveness because I definitely make less than XXXX a year. I haven't reached out to Edfinancial yet just waiting for next updated news on the situation as well as the forgiveness. However, from everywhere I look, they have been telling other customers they give it back within 150 business days or they make a request and they call back and they say they haven't made a request in the first place. I don't like dealing with unhelpful customer service, it's the worst! Someone suggested I should make a complaint and that's what I'm doing. From the sound of things, they should have a better customer service representation, and they should update people on correct and accurate information about a refund.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, the company I worked for used my personal credit card to make purchases from XXXX and XXXX instead of my business credit card, unintentionally. When I first noticed the charges on my personal card I reported them as fraud, not realizing what had happened. Once I realized the error, both companies were paid with the correct company credit card. I contacted TD Card Services to tell them that the charges weren't fraudulent, but still made in error. Rather than continue my dispute of the charges they closed the dispute and put the charges back onto my personal credit card. For months I called to inquire about the credit being placed back on my card. On XX/XX/XXXX, per TD Card Service 's request, I faxed them the receipts from each company that clearly show that my personal card was charged, then returned to my personal card and paid with the company credit card - yet still the credits were not put back onto my account. Recently, they told me there was nothing they could do and to contact the merchants for a refund. In doing so, both merchants told me that they accepted the chargebacks in XXXX of XXXX and that my credit card would have to return the funds since they no longer had them. I provided this information to TD Card Services and continue to call them regularly - each time I get a different response. Some say they can see in their system where the chargebacks were accepted by the merchants and that I am due credit, promising escalation of my dispute to supervisors. Some tell me that they can not help me because my dispute was closed. Since this all began in XXXX of XXXX, I have been paying interest on the {$4700.00} that was charged to my card as well as over limit fees. Again, some calls to TD Card the representatives assured me all of these would be refunded, some have said that after the dispute is resolved I can request those be refunded from customer service, and some telling me there is nothing they can do.
