Company: MOHELA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority ( MOHELA ), alleging a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( XXXX ), specifically under 20 U.S.C. 1232g ( B ).

I am concerned that MOHELA may have breached the privacy rights afforded to students and their families under XXXX by disclosing personally identifiable information without proper consent. As outlined in XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( B ), educational institutions and associated entities are required to obtain written consent before disclosing personally identifiable information from student education records. 

I believe that MOHELA 's actions may have included unauthorized disclosure of information, which potentially violates the privacy protections outlined in 20 U.S.C. 1232g ( B ). This matter is of great concern, as it pertains to the privacy and security of sensitive educational and personal information. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thoroughly investigate this alleged violation by MOHELA. If the investigation confirms that MOHELA has indeed violated the law, I urge the Bureau to take appropriate actions to ensure compliance and protect the rights of students and their families.

Complaint narrative:
This credit card company allows its client to charge for services not rendered. They put charges on accounts for 12 months same as cash but when those amounts are altered neither companies make corrections. For over 5 years I fought for my billing statements to be corrected. To honor amended contract. The first salesman over measured for the merchandise. The XXXX remeasures and informs company of errors. The salesman amended the contract, it went from XXXX to XXXX. My bill continued to display XXXX. The salesman canceled the order and according to the ordering clerk he never reordered. This company sues me for XXXX after 2 years of court hearings. I then take their client to court and they request mediation. The representatives look at all my paperwork and call their law department and were told to settle with me that day. Small claims court does not allow XXXX lawsuits which is what i was sued for. For years I've told both companies I NEVER RECEIVED THE MERCHANDISE!! Now I'm being forced to pay their lawfirm for something I never received. The amount is inaccurate, the interest charges are over inflated. Their client often display bad business practices. I've talked to XXXX XXXX firm, whos had several lawsuits against their client. I read the XXXX 's case from Ohio as well as many others. This client stopped offering the services I signed a contract for and never made us aware. I filed XXXX disputes that I believe were just brushed off. I mailed paperwork to the XXXX of this company in XXXX and I haven't heard back from them. I've sent paperwork for this new issue to complaint # XXXX. In XXXX. I feel as though I've been discriminated against. I am retired due to health issues, and it's my honest belief that this all has contributed to my issues.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I tried signing into my online account. When signing in, I got the message, " Activate Your Card Your debit card must be activated before you can sign on. If you havent received your new card yet, please allow XXXX business days for it to be delivered to your mailing address. '' I only have XXXX products with Citi- a savings account ( ending in XXXX ) and a credit card ( ending in XXXX ). Why after opening my savings account over a year ago is the online access requiring me to active my XXXX debit card? A card that I tore up and threw away within the first week of opening the account online. My intention was to make this account 100 % online - paperless and no physical card. Because of this, I can not access my account online and access my funds when I have bills to pay. 

I called Citi on XX/XX/2023 and spoke with XXXX regarding the situation. The only way to proceed was to pass their security question. I needed to provide the full savings account number or provide the mother 's maiden name. 

How can I provide the full savings account number when I can not view my statements online anymore? When the rep asked for my mother 's maiden name, it did not match their system. There are no Citi branches near me location. The only option he gave was to send a letter to Citi 's office at their XXXX XXXX Texas address and to request a debit card. A process that will take several weeks. Therefore, unable to access my funds for several of weeks. 

I received no warning this was going to happen and I'm now unable to access my savings account now. This is my second formal CFPB complaint with Citi. After this I'm completely done banking with them.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023 I refinanced my home and reached a written settlement with Synchrony Bank PayPal Credit Card. The account was Settled in Full for {$2500.00}, with the agreement that the account would appear on my credit report with a XXXX ( {$0.00} ) balance, and the account status would be " Paid. '' Synchrony Bank accepted and deposited my {$2500.00} check from the XXXX XXXX, marked as Settlement in Full. However, AFTER the payment was received, Synchrony Bank reported my account as " Charged Off '' with a balance of {$1500.00}. This report has occurred every month since XX/XX/2023, and this account on my credit report is still showing a " Derogatory '' account status, rather than the promised " Paid '' status, and it is still showing an account balance of {$1500.00}, rather than the Settled in Full balance of XXXX ( {$0.00} ). Synchrony Bank most recently reported this on XX/XX/2023, and I expect they will fraudulently do so again this month. As a result of this " Derogatory '' report and falsely reported " Amount Past Due, '' my credit score has dropped each month it has continued to be falsely reported.
