Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I made an online request regarding a personal from OneMain Financial for {$10000.00}. There was not supposed to be a a hard pull inquiry on my credit report unless I accepted the terms and conditions of the pre-approval, yet they did a hard pull instead of soft pull which would affect my credit report negatively. I did not authorize a hard pull inquiry and their email also stated that " checking for loan offer did not affect my credit score. See copy of email below. 

OneMain logo XX/XX/2024 Dear XXXX XXXX : Many online loan sites send us loan offer requests from consumers. One of these sites passed us your request from your search on XX/XX/2024. Important : Checking for loan offers did not affect your credit score.

We understand how important it may be to get the funds you are looking for. At this time, however, we are unable to provide an offer to you. Below are the specific reason ( s ) we are unable to provide you an offer : Insufficient recent bank/national revolving info.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Nelnet, my student loan servicing company, regarding their mishandling of my account and the inaccurate reflection of my payments. 

Despite my consistent and timely payments to my student loan account through Nelnet, and receiving confirmation from Nelnet that these payments have been received, their website does not accurately reflect these payments on my accounts. This discrepancy has resulted in my account being incorrectly marked as delinquent or late on payments. 

I have called Nelnet 's customer support multiple times to address this issue, spending many hours on the phone trying to resolve it. Despite these efforts and enduring long hold times, the problem remains unresolved. My account continues to show an incorrect status, which is causing me significant stress and concern. 

The payments that I made that were not posted to my account in a timely manner include my payments for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. While Nelnet did post my payment for XXXX as an " other '' payment type rather than electronic ( there has been no change in the way I am making my payments ), payments are still not showing for XXXX or XXXX. 

I am worried that this inaccurate reporting will negatively impact my student loan balance and could potentially lead to a default on my loan through no fault of my own. This situation is not only unfair but also detrimental to my financial standing. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and assist in ensuring that Nelnet accurately updates my account to reflect my payments and corrects my account status promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I filed an original dispute on XX/XX/year> with Vanilla Gift Card regarding missing funds of {$300.00} from this gift card : XXXX. This card was given by parents as a XXXX grade teacher gift for my wife. Payment was refused at a garden center ; we thought the clerk did not know how to process a gift card. Later, I learned through the Vanilla website the card had a XXXX balance. Upon checking payment history, the entire {$300.00} balance was used at a spa in Michigan. We reside in Wisconsin and have never visited that spa. Someone must've been testing the balance with 3 separate sequential debits. As this was a gift, we don't have a receipt. 

I did not receive a reply from Vanilla for the original dispute beyond an automatic confirmation of receipt of my request. On XX/XX/year>, I replied to the XX/XX/XXXX dispute confirmation email and did not receive a reply. I called Vanilla at XXXX on XX/XX/year> to request an update and was told the dispute was closed. The agent advised the dispute has been reopened and this is the reason for this email. Vanilla sent an email confirmation of the closure of the case on XX/XX/year>. There was no return of funds ( dispute ticket XXXX ). 

This is a substantial amount of money, and Vanilla ( owned by " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) simply should not be allowed to dismiss this dispute without returning the funds. It is Vanilla 's failure to adequately ensure the prevention of fraud that has led to this financial loss. I hope CFPB can help us recover these funds from Vanilla and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I consolidated my loans with the explicit purpose to receive the benefits of the SAVE plan. After the consolidation, through no fault of my own, the terms of the save plan were judicially altered, such that the terms of the consolidation loan I consented to were in question. But for the benefits of the save plan, I would not have consolidated. The consolidation prevents the most cost effective manner of payment and accelerates the interest owed. The daily interest on 12 individual loans compounds differently than the consolidated loan. The financial institution that holds my note has been given an unfair advantage by changing the terms and conditions of the consolidated loan well after the time in which I would be allowed to revert to separate loans ( within ten days of consolidation ). 

In XXXX of 2024 I had many separate loans. Some of those loans qualified for SAVE. Some did not. I read the details for consolidation and terms and conditions to qualify for the SAVE plan. I made the very hard discission to consolidate after multiple conversations with XXXX XXXX and Student Aid. Gov. I was explicitly told and all of the documentation instructed that the only way to have my loans all gain the benefits of the SAVE plan was to Consolidate. And so, I consolidated. I did this timely in order to receive the benefits of the SAVE plan. Months after this consolidation, the terms and conditions of my repayment was altered without any default or error on my part. 

This violates my right to choose how I engage with financial services. In this case, the federal government, president and courts many miles away very strong powerful enities acted to obviate my prior rights and void my ability to consolidate with an understanding of terms and conditions of the financial services. I am aware that many more actors and powerful factors are moving against my interests. THe CFPB is around to protect the informed consent of a borrower and even the field where financial institutions place an individula at an unfair advantage, moving the goal post for borrowers. XXXX will benefit from this false inducement by collecting nearly {$700.00} more than they were entitled to before my consolidation, which erases my disposable income altogether. 

HELP please
