Company: Harpeth Financial Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have to explain how I crossed paths with this company to explain how I was ended up doing business with a lender from Tennessee while living in Texas. I used an app called XXXX XXXX that offers cash for games, credit building features, cash advances and etc. The app said that that they have partnered with lenders and you can apply for a loan. I didnt want a payday loan because I am familiar with the high interest rates. So I filled in my info and they matched me with lenders that I qualified for. Out of all the lenders XXXX ( Advanced Financial XXXX ) appeared to be the most interested as they were calling and emailing. I spoke with someone and they explained the company, the loan and repayment. Too good to be true! I follow through with the signup process, received my loan in less than 5 minutes and set up payments I could afford on my payday. WRONG! Not only did they trick me but it was not a credit building personal installment loan, it was not a high interest payday loan, it was a ridiculously 98.5 % interest loan to where only 1.5 % of all payments I make go towards the amount borrowed. Not only that but I accrue fees DAILY on top of all that. So if I give them {$100.00} as promised on my payday only {$1.00} would count towards the loan. Ive made several payments and payment amounts due in the future increases daily. If I continue to pay what I can afford in the initial agreement I could be paying close to {$4500.00} for a {$1000.00} loan!!! Please help I am victim of my financial circumstances and fell into a trap by a predatory lender. Theyve caused me to XXXX  beyond belief, I have 2 young boys to provide for and if this continues they will suffer as well I am the primary bread winner. When I do speak to them and explain Ive been misled and tricked, they treat me as less than ( all conversations are recorded ). They have access to my XXXX XXXX account, routing number and debit card info! They randomly debit my account and each payment I make towards the loan changes. I feel violated and lied too! I have a lawyer through my job and I am current on all payments on the loan. Before continuing with a legal team I want to try and settle the dispute and repay a fair amount as I was lied to from the beginning. Todays XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I will reach out to my legal team on the next available day for advice. Thank you!!

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the way this situation has been handled. I submitted my payment on XX/XX/year>, and yet I wasnt informed until XXXXnearly two weeks laterthat the payment didnt go through. Even worse, I was only notified after the third attempt to process the payment. At no point before that was I contactedno email, no call, no notification whatsoever. That is completely unacceptable. 

The account I used to make the payment had more than enough funds, so there is absolutely no valid reason the payment should have failed. To make matters worse, this is apparently the second time this has happened, and instead of reaching out to me to resolve the issue, your team took the outrageous step of closing my account without notifying me. I found out my account was closed only when my card was declined and the Citi app informed me it had been shut down. Againno phone call, no email, no courtesy alert. 

I have always paid my balance in full or left only a minimal balance, and Ive never once failed to pay. To be treated like this despite a consistent history of responsible payment is absolutely unacceptable and shows a complete disregard for your customers. This situation needs to be addressed and resolved immediately.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
