Consumer complaint received 2021-07-13 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Problem with the interest rate
Company: Splash Financial, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I asked Splash Financial via text if there was the same 0.25 % rate reduction for auto pay. With the rate reduction my fixed student loan rate would be 2.84 %. Their customer service confirmed that I would in fact receive the rate reduction. I made a financial decision to select Splash Financial over my current company that was offering me 2.89 %. 

The rate reduction was not applied to my account once my auto pay information was added to my account. 

Me : Hello, according to your website my interest rate after the direct bank payments is 3.09 %. I was previously told that the 3.09 % would be reduced by 0.25 % once I added my bank information. Please correct the website ASAP. 

Splash : Good morning! Let me look into this for you. Out of curiosity, do you remember who told you that this bank had an auto pay discount? Some of our lenders have auto pay discounts, and others do not. 

Me : I already have direct bank withdrawal set up with the website. My interest rate should be 2.84 % not 3.09 %. ( I sent screen prints of my previous text conversation ) Splash : Unfortunately, at this time this bank down not offer the auto pay discount. I apologize for the miscommunication on our end. 

Me : Miscommunication is not even close to what happened here. Splash is causing me a negative financial impact. The difference in the interest rate is costing me more money. I never would have refinanced my loan at 3.09 %. What is Splash going to do to make me whole?

Splash Financial refused to adjust my interest rate. Rather they offered to pay me {$400.00}. the financial impact was {$860.00}. After several emails, Splash Financial finally agreed to pay me {$860.00}.

My concern is for other consumers not aware that documentation is gold. My concern is that Splash Financial will lie to other consumers causing even more of a economic burden on student loan borrowers.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I Was in a vehicle accident ( that was not my fault ) that totaled my truck. 
I had been paying this loan on time, with no issues. My insurance company sent Santander a check and the account was shown as paid off as of XX/XX/XXXX. We then got notification 2 months later that our insurance company had sent them the wrong amount and roughly XXXX was still our responsibility, so it went back as active and showed up as late payments. We at this point had another loan and were making payments on both, we made payments every single month no matter what, but they continued to accrue interest, on a loan that was paid off and then reinstated due to an error. I talked to Santander on multiple occasions to please take off the late payments as I was making the payments. They were not willing to work with me. I need this taken off my credit.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a ppp loan on XX/XX/XXXX of this year for my business working with the XXXX  XXXX. I had bank with chime for many years and had no problems with them. But on the morning of XX/XX/XXXX of this year I got a email saying my account was being suspended. I called and they said they need my ID, LLC or something with the business name, a bill in my name and why these funds was given to me and if these funds was from my employer a note from them. I sent them something with the company name, a bill and my ID with a explanation why I got the funds and two days later my account was closed. I spoke for months with different rude people from chime and XXXX 's and was given no help until around XXXX after a investigation was done by XXXX 's in XXXX and they gave me a ticket number two different representatives told me a check of XXXX would be mailed out. They told me that after 30 days of the account being closed it should've been sent out and call back on the XXXX of XXXX if it hasn't. When it hadn't been I called back and they wouldn't direct my calls back to that department and told me that no one ever told me a check would be mailed out. I continued to call and last month someone told me that they need the things they originally asked for and if done they'd mail a check for my funds of XXXX and I should receive it in a couple of days. I asked the representatives again if I sent him my LLC, a explanation of why I received the funds and my ID with a bill a check would be sent and he said yes. So yesterday XX/XX/XXXX I sent them my LLC, a piece of mail with my business name and my ID, ss, a bill and some documents from the lender. This has been a horrible experience. I'm at risk of losing everything. My home, struggling with my bills and my business. It's caused so much stress and it seems like chime doesn't care what this has done to my life, my family and many others that this has happened to. I'm hoping with all the information sent to chime support will be enough to resolve this matter. I even spoke with XXXX XXXX with no help also. Both XXXX and XXXX 's blamed chime.
