Company: KEYCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX. and I am an XXXX american ( XXXX ) male entrepreneur that self started a limited liability company in XXXX New York in XX/XX/2015. After starting the business I opened a business line of credit through the XXXX. branch at First Niagra bank which was recently sold to Key bank. The business line of credit was established for {$20000.00}. I was excited and pleased with this even though my request was for {$50000.00}. As a result, I referred one of my friends who happens to be a non-black. He has about the same credit score and income as me. I know that economically we are almost identical because I helped him to improve and understand his credit. We work at the same job and I showed him how to establish an LLC. He was approved for {$50000.00} as a start up and showed no income whatsoever. On XX/XX/XXXX I met with the branch manager to request an increase on my line of credit. My credit score was XXXX Fico. I had established about {$15000.00} in annual business revenue, {$65000.00} in personal income and my wife makes between $ XXXX annually. I was told that the decision is primarily based on credit score and that the decision would take no longer than two business days. I had not received a response by the following wednesday so I called in for a status update around noon. I was told that the branch manager would follow up with me the same day it did not happen. The following day I called in again and was told the same thing. I even sent an email. By Friday I had not heard anything so I called in just before the bank closed. I was put on hold for an absurd amount of time, almost XXXX hour before being told that I was denied because of my income. I felt like I was treated poorly from a customer service standpoint. I was put on the back burner when I have been a customer of the bank for over a year. In addition to being treated poorly, I also felt that something else was going on. I have an XXXX, I am no fool. How could my non-black friend receive $ XXXX with no business income and the same credentials as me. I feel as though I am the victim of lending discrimination. That is the only reason that I can come up with. We are virtually identical on paper. The only difference is the XXXX of our skin.

Company: IMPAC MORTGAGE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2015 I refinanced my home through Cash Call Mortgage Lender for {$280000.00}. Subsequent to this, the loan was purchased by XXXX and servicing was initially provided by Impac Mortgage Loan Servicing Division. The first payment was due XXXX/XXXX/15 and Impac serviced the loan through XXXX/XXXX/15. For some unexplained reason when I reviewed my payment history online, {$83000.00} had been added to the principle. It is obvious that something was wrong as the note and all my docs clearly show the borrowed amount as {$280000.00} ; Even Impac Mortgage account history shows the initial {$280000.00} as well as the addition of the {$83000.00} about 2 weeks later. I brought this to their attention and after many, many communications they said they resolved the issue and adjusted my account accordingly on XXXX/XXXX/15 ( I have included a copy of the payment history from Impac ). Their explanation was that somehow my loan docs had been mixed up with another and caused the addition of the {$83000.00}. About the same time they said the matter was resolved, they coincidentally transferred the servicing of my loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) which began on XXXX/XXXX/15. In reviewing my account with the new loan servicing company XXXX, the {$83000.00} has been suspiciously attached to my account again. On top of all this, XXXX now has my property confused as being in XXXX County instead of XXXX XXXX County for my escrow account tax payments. SLS customer support told me they will look into it, but something is just not right. I feel like someone is trying to hide this {$83000.00} back at Cash Call or Impac, which are both part of the same company. I am very disturbed by all of this and would like some help in finding a resolution. I have attached an account summary from SLS to show the current amounts they list as well as the payment history from Impac Mortgage to show the suspicious addition and deletion of the {$83000.00}, Thank You.

Company: KEYCORP

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I became aware that my credit card was switched from paper statements to electronic statements. This occurred without my knowledge or consent. I have been receiving paper statements for the past 20 years. I recently signed up for the credit cards rewards program and it may have switched me to electronic statements when I registered, however I was not aware of the change. I was not notified about the change to electronic statements via email or any other communication. I charged {$4.00} on my credit card and was waiting for my paper statements and eventually forgot about the charge. The bank charged me {$44.00} in late payments and place a 30 day late payment on my account. The only way I was to find out about this late payment was through my credit protection account, which notified me. I was never notified about my account being past due. The bank used deceptive practices to change my statements to electronic and profited from the result, in addition to damaging my credit. Precedence has been established during my 20 years of receiving paper statements and changing me to electronic payments without notification is Illegal.

I have a loan with Big Picture Loans. They have charged exorbitant fees - much higher than I would have expected. Every payment except for the {$25.00} on my last payment ( payment # XXXX ) has gone to interest. It is nearly impossible to pay this balance down due to high {$350.00} bi-weekly fee required in the beginning of this loan. The interest on the loan is predatory - at an interest rate of 1014.55 %. This is insane. If I pay only the required payments, I would be required to pay $ XXXX for a loan of {$1000.00}. I have already paid twice the value of the money I borrowed.

Complaint narrative:
Citizens ADVERTISES Student Loans starting at 2.49 % with a parent cosigning. We cosigned and the rate came back a 6.49 % or 161 % over the best available rate. We were immediately concerned that there was an issue with our credit rating, in fact worried of identity theft due to the high rate offered. Upon speaking with the representatives, we were told that our rate was determined only by one factor, the higher XXXX rating of the student or parents. Our rating was actually EXCELLENT at XXXX. In fact, this is a quote from XXXX. 

At this point, we asked HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY QUALIFY for the 2.49 % rate. We were told that information is " proprietary. '' I asked if she ( Supervisor XXXX XXXX ) knew of ANY LOANS given out at the advertised rate. She told me that information was also proprietary. 

In my opinion, they are using deceptive advertising practices. Listing rates that they never intend to fulfill.

On XXXX/XXXX/2015, I obtained a payday loan for {$400.00}. Starting on XXXX/XXXX/2015, I have been paying back on the loan in the amount of {$100.00} each month. 

XXXX/XXXX/2015 - {$100.00} XXXX/XXXX/2015 - {$100.00} XXXX/XXXX/2015 - {$100.00} XXXX/XXXX/2015 - {$100.00} The above payments totaling {$400.00} have been ACH debited from my checking account to repay the payday loan. As of XXXX/XXXX/2015, my payday loan account information on the www.castlepaydayloan.com website is showing an outstanding balance of {$20.00} that still needs to be paid towards the payday loan. When I contacted Castle Payday Loans customer service department on XXXX/XXXX/2015, to pay the remaining {$20.00} owed on the payday loan, I was advised that I still needed to pay {$520.00} towards the payday loan because the {$100.00} payments I have been making every month have only been applied towards interest and finance charges, according to Castle PayDay Loan 's customer service department. I asked to speak to a superviser regarding my account and was transferred to a superviser named XXXX, who advised me that I have not paid towards the payday loan and that the {$400.00} I have paid so far was only for interest on the loan. That is crazy and I do not understand how much money Castle PayDay Loans is expecting me to pay back for a payday loan of {$400.00}. None of their customer service representatives or supervisers can explain it to me to where it makes sense and so that I can understand. I want them to stop ACH debiting my checking account, but they will not.
