I also explained to him that I tried to enter my previous business address but the system would not validate it to proceed. I expressed my frustration about this impacting my credit and explained that I am a Counselor and I do virtual counseling for my business. I talked to a supervisor and he communicated that they can not remove the inquiry and they treated me as if I were lying.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, Every time I try to call in to get information about my loan, my servicer, Nelnet, keeps me on hold for over an hour. They do offer a callback feature, but it is very sporadic in nature. For instance, on the phone yesterday it was asked if I wanted a callback but I could not get my phone to the correct screen with my keypad in order to request the callback. Then, the system never asked if I wanted a callback again. As a result, I was forced to wait well over an hour to speak to someone. 
The other part of my frustration is that I requested to be put onto the new IDR SAVE plan back in XXXX. They claim that they are still processing my request and that it should be at the end of XXXX ( next week ) when this will actually happen. 
In XXXX I reconsolidated my Private Loan ( also with Nelnet ) to a Direct Consolidation loan and have been unhappy with the customer service at Nelnet since the switch. As a Private loan customer, their customer service is excellent with very low wait times to speak with someone. I was not expecting this change when I switched over. 
Thank you

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
None of the options offered pertain to my situation, but I received a notice from National Credit Systems about a debt that was incorrect. A storage company, XXXX XXXX, claimed that I did not give them 30 days notice before vacating and demanded a payment for an additional month. I, in fact, gave them 60 days notice and I had an email and letter to prove it. I contacted NCS within two days of receiving the letter. Despite that fact, they would not return my phone calls and they would not confirm receipt of documents that I sent them showing proof that I had given notification of canceling the storage unit 60 days in advance. When I tried to talk to a manager, the manager cursed at me then hung up on me. They have not investigated the debt and despite me having submitted a dispute for the debt, they have reported the debt to the credit agencies and it is showing up on my credit report. They refuse to return my calls or acknowledge receipt of documents proving I do not owe the debt.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Synchrony Bank for Unjust Account Closure To Whom It May Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Synchrony Bank for what I believe to be an unfair and unjust closure of my account. This action has caused me considerable distress and inconvenience, and I seek your assistance in addressing this matter. 

Background of the Issue : Recently, Synchrony Bank decided to close my account Paypal Credit Account citing XXXX returned payments as the reason. However, the circumstances surrounding XXXX of these incidents have not been adequately considered by the bank. For the payment in question, I had sufficient funds in my bank account at the time of transaction. Unfortunately, due to an error outside of my control, the payment was initially returned. 

I took immediate action to rectify this situation and successfully completed the payment shortly after being informed of the error. This was a one-time incident caused by factors beyond my financial control, and not indicative of my financial responsibility or history with the bank. 

Concerns and Request for Action : Unfair Treatment : The decision to close my account based on this single incident seems disproportionately harsh and fails to consider my history as a responsible customer. 
Lack of Adequate Communication : The bank did not provide me with a sufficient opportunity to explain or rectify the situation before taking such a drastic step. 
Impact on Financial Standing : This action by Synchrony Bank has negatively impacted my financial standing and has caused undue stress and inconvenience. 
I request the CFPB 's intervention to : Conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. 
Ensure fair treatment and consideration of the circumstances from Synchrony Bank. 
Facilitate communication between myself and Synchrony Bank to find a reasonable resolution. 
I have attached relevant documentation to support my claim, including records of the transaction in question and correspondence with Synchrony Bank. 

I appreciate the CFPB 's commitment to protecting consumers and hope for a prompt and fair resolution to this issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information or clarification needed. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
