Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called because my card was not working I was informed due to an previously overdrawn account and inactivity there was a hold placed on my debit card. But since my direct deposit was available and had satisfied the overdrawn amount the hold was taken off my card. My debit card worked all day XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to use my card at an atm and the atm said the transaction was cancelled please contact your bank. I tried to call the Telephone banking Center, which was having technical issues causing an automate voice to tell you they were having issues and to call back later. It was a few minutes before closing at the physical bank. I went through the drive through since the lobby was closed I explained what was happening and that I had the available funds to make a w/d but needed a counter check. The gentleman smiled and said sorry we ca n't help you because the lobby is closed. I pushed back and requested if an exception can be made due to the circumstance and he said no. Nor did he attempt to see why my card was inactive or present any other option. I later called the telephone bank center after several attempts and almost a half an hour wait I spoke with a representative who was great. He was able to find out that my card was closed for on XX/XX/XXXX due to more than 30 days of inactivity. Which confused us both since I used my card the day before, XX/XX/XXXX. He kindly gave me a number to contact XXXX directly to see if they could get me funds since the issue with my card was an error.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXX 2007, my son enrolled into XXXX XXXX XXXX, where we were directed to apply for federal loans through XXXX XXXX ( now Navient ), of which I received a loan of {$20000.00}. I began making payments to this loan six months after that. We have been making payments to this loan for around 10 years. Every year, the monthly payment amounts billed increased. We have been paying this loan consistently to this day. Due to our request for aid the monthly amount billed is {$150.00} per month. We keep in contact with Navient to keep it at an amount that we can pay based on our situation, which is only due to our efforts. The reason we are upset with Navient is because that the principal loan amount has remained the same, regardless of our payments, ever since we began this loan.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
We overpaid our credit card by {$20000.00} to capital one and have requested reimbursement for the overpayment on two separate occasions, starting 4 weeks ago. Each time we have been guaranteed that we would be issued a check for the overpaid credit balance within two weeks of request. We are now going on the third request for those funds to be repaid to us. According to the truth in lending act, it is my understanding that a credit card must issue a refund for overpayment of credit card within 7 days of the initial request. We are now on at least day 28 and refund has not been issued. Tonight was my third time of trying to resolve this issue and the process has started all over again.

On two occasions Lending Club received from me a payment for {$460.00} instead of the correct amount of {$460.00}. They rated these payments as LATE and assessed a {$15.00} XXXX XXXX Dollar ) Late Fee for XXXX cents. I think this is a total outrage and if it is not unlawful I can not see why it is not. On XX/XX/XXXX Lending Club received my check payment of {$460.00} and called me to say it was LATE because I did not include the LATE FEE charged for XXXX CENT ERROR. I enclosed a letter a copy of which follows : I am old and copy last payment. This is how it happened twice. Please do NOT consider my account late due to this. You are truly AWFUL to deal with and I have been a very good customer for quite a long time. I am today mailing {$460.00} by first class mail. In time past you never sent an email with actual payment due and it was somewhat difficult to look up. You have corrected this but only to PUNISH your customers. You are AWFUL. IMPROVE.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX 2017 i called to cancel my payment because I ca n't pay. The agent kept asking why I ca n't pay. I told her I 'm switching jobs and want to call back when I for sure have the money. She then said she can delete the payment. She asked if they can call me. I said no. She then said " Collections efforts will still continue '' which I felt like was a threat. I was planning to call back once I did my budgeting and possibly pay the balance this month, but the way I was threatened, I do n't want to.

I am having extreme difficulty contacting my student loan collector Navient. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I attempted to contact the Federal Loan department of Navient, and after getting their automated system to understand that I need to talk to a real person I was transferred to another automated message saying that their offices were closed. This runs counter to their " contact us '' information provided online as well as in the automated message that I was transferred to, with both sources of information saying their Federal Loan department was open till XXXX on Fridays. After this I attempted to call another number, and got through to the Private Loan office. The woman I talked to said she could transfer me to the Federal Loan department, but after the " transfer '' I was met with another automated message and a dropped call. I am still trying to contact Navient, but not much is helping.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I called Barclaycard XXXX/XXXX/2017 at approximately XXXX EST from my husband 's phone with a simple request of seeking to confirm no recent card activity. After navigating the cumbersome automated system and entering all requisite information required, including several " for your security '' entries I finally reached a human. I should have known something was afoul when the frontline phone rep transferred me immediately after additional security information to " security. '' XXXX was who I spoke with from " security '' and alternated from interrogation to placing me on hold for the next 20 minutes. Thankfully, I keep excellent records and was able to immediately answer. After calling my home ( and waking those sleeping ), she came off our third hold event. The lines of questioning included which bank account I had made my most recent payment from, what was the payment amount, when was the payment made?
These were all events that took place several months ago. Given I value my time with my family and consider the amount of time spent on hold and answering the less than friendly line of interrogation from the phone representative, I indicated I was " considering whether or not I should continue my relationship with barclaycard. '' The rep thought she had some sort of " gotchya '' moment and said " she should continue?!? '' I was not sure what she was implying until she said this, as apparently she insists I was my husband. Great, sick and accused. So now instead of having my credit balance refunded and account closed, XXXX enumerated all of the " requirements '' for " identity validation '' in order for their " security department '' to clear my straightforward request at the end of the call to close my account and have the annual fee refunded. Really, I am supposed to pay you an annual fee for THIS type of customer service? I have received better treatment in communist nations! I believe XXXX needs to be retrained, as this is not how you retain customers in any form whatsoever.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Loancare service via phone on XX/XX/XXXX. I inquired about " total fees '' of {$280.00} on my statement dated XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that the charges included {$75.00} inspection fee because our loan is backed by the VA and we were behind on our mortgage payments. The inspection was required by VA policy. The inspector was verifying that home was not vacant. I was told the inspections occurred on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and again XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX. I first told that the inspector/XXXX XXXX is a " loancare employee '' then I was told that the inspectors were " independent contractor ''. I was told then told that the inspector was supposed to leave a business card at our address. We never received a business card. When I questioned the customer service rep about the business card. I was then told that the inspector was not required to leave a business card. I was then told that the inspector took photos of our home and filed a report with loancare. I requested proof of the inspection via photos and/or report- since I was charged a fee for a service I do not believe occurred. I was told I had to subpoena loancare to receive the requested documents. My mortgage was sold from XXXX to Loancare. I have had nothing but problems since Loancare took over our loan. Please investigate Loancare for unethical business practices and violation of inspections required by VA backed mortgages.

Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is regarding a collection agency company, CBE Group, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, XXXX. The debt is from XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$160.00}. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I got a noticed from XXXX stating that CBE has placed a collection in my account, regarding a debt that I had through XXXX XXXX XXXX. But the issue here is that, I was never given a notice in the mail, or email by CBE Group. Nor was I given a phone call. CBE claim that they sent me notice of the debt, but it was sent to the wrong address., and CBE admitted the mistake they made. The bottom line is that, I did n't know anything about this debt, being sent to collection agency. Nor had I any knowledge of it whatsoever from CBE. Had I gotten proper notice of the debt, I would 've paid it immediately, but it was put on collection and posted through the major credit reporting agency, such as XXXX, and now my credit will be immensely affected in a negative way, all because of the mistake that CBE made. Although I paid the whole debt immediately once I found out through XXXX, I 'm still in a lot of stress because it will impact my credit worthiness. It is n't my fault, it 's CBE 's fault that they did n't follow the law, CBE failed to send me written notification of the debt. CBE group di n't follow proper laws and procedure, now, I must suffer due to their mistake. The CBE agent I spoke with said that it will be remove immediately from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX,. But somehow, I find that hard to believe., nor do I trust CBE.
