Complaint narrative:
I secured a mortgage loan with U.S. Bank in XX/XX/XXXX. I have never been 30 days past due in the last 6 plus years. I filed chapter XXXX bankruptcy protection in XX/XX/XXXX which was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. All reporting from this loan to credit bureaus both before and after discharge has ceased. When credit is pulled no mortgage even shows with U.S. Bank. This is drastically affecting the recovery of my credit rating. At that time it was XXXX and has remained the same over the last year plus. Please advise. Thank you.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019, I went online to my credit card issuer 's website to verify that I had received a refund to my card from an outside vendor and upon examining my account details, I discovered that my credit limit had been REDUCED by {$2600.00} without any notice to me. As such, I called the credit issuer 's customer service department and spoke with a Representative who indicated that my limit was decreased due to their review of my credit report that indicated I had too many open credit cards and when I asked the Representative why they had pulled my credit WITHOUT my permission, he indicated that it was something they did from time to time and that a letter explaining their decision was mailed to be on or about XX/XX/2019. In addition, I asked the Representative why the decision was made to reduce my balance so significantly when I have NEVER missed a payment with their bank in the 2 - 3 years I have had their card nor have I ever missed a payment with any of the open credit cards that they felt I had too many of and he advised that due to the information on my credit report that this was the decision they felt was best and he offered no resolution dispute assistance. I advised the Representative that I completely disagreed with their decision for numerous reasons specifically, the fact that by reducing my credit to the amount of {$1800.00} this puts my credit utilization for this creditor at 90 % when prior to the credit limit decrease it was 38 %. As a result, this has had a negative effect on my credit score despite the fact that I have NEVER been in default with any of my creditors whom are all current and have been for several years so I'm not understanding their decision.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Student Loan has been paid on for going on 9 years now. Was told today the reason my loans have gone UP is because changing plans capitalizes the interest. At no time was this told to me before today. Furthermore I made {$8100.00} in payments last year and from the tax statement received by me, {$0.00} went to principal. At this point it is worth just taking the hit and ruining my credit from this point forward because with no options to repay a reasonable monthly payment that actually reduces the principal, the credit will be ruined in the end anyway. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has horrific customer service agents that will tell you very quickly they do not care about your situation. The government has made it where there is no way out so they have you no matter what and do not care. So this is my last effort to try to come to a reasonable agreement and where i can see this loan being paid off. Because as of right now the only way this loan goes away is when i do.

Went in person to bank to get a check from account with greater than {$24000.00} in it and they were unable to access any if my account information. I tried to get a check for {$6500.00} for my contractor but the manager stated that she could only give me a check for up to {$750.00}. This is unacceptable. I can hit access any of my money. I also can not pay any of my bills including transferring money from my Wells Fargo checking to my Wells Fargo mortgage.

I returned to the same branch this afternoon and the employees stated that their systems were still down and they were unable to give me a time estimate for when their systems would be up and running again.

When I returned home I tried calling Wells Fargo and would have to wait in excess of 60 minutes to speak to a person. 

Unacceptable.
