So I did and they cancel the card and was sending me a new card in the mail. I sent all of the emails from XXXX customer service reps that states there was no transaction done in their system and I sent emails of pictures of all my transactions in the month of XXXX from both accounts. The bank denied my dispute 8 times saying " no error occurred '' and while I keep dealing with disputing the charge, I received emails up to 4 times from Chime saying my debit card purchase was declined from XXXX in the amount of {$200.00} means someone is still trying to use the card. I'm going back and forth with both XXXX and Chime and I still don't have my money. I'm on my 9th dispute with Chime now.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had bought a vehicle from XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. Everything went fine and theuir were no issues at first. I received my policy documents and noticed that were thousands of dollars tacked onto the loan that I did not agree to or was aware of. So I reached out to the dealership responsible and had them send the money to XXXX XXXX for roughly {$4300.00} and XXXX XXXX informed me that it would push the payments I owed back so that I would not have to pay for awhile. 
Come XXXX of XXXX I had firgured I had several months left of no payment but they reached out telling me I was late. At this time I was confused and found out that XXXX XXXX had received payment but it did not lower the length of the loan- did not pay towards the front end- or my monthly payments. Several weeks calling XXXX XXXX and nobody could explain what happened to the money given to them. 
So I started the dispute process. During the dispute process XXXX XXXX told me that one option was to redo the loan with the lower loan balance due to them getting a payment from the dealership. I told them I would love to do that because I was experiencing financial hardships and the lower payment amount would help. They lost the call apparently and could not find any evidence that happened. 
Then I got a letter saying that it would eventually go into repossession status with no resolution to my claim. So I called trying to pay them several thousands of dollars to keep my loan and the XXXX XXXX representative told me that they would not accept any payment other than the entire {$32000.00} remaining on the loan. I told them I had notified them of financial hardship and did not have {$32000.00}. They would not accept any other solution and repossessed my vehicle while having an open dispute as of XXXX of XXXX. 
To summarize : They told me a dealership payment would go towards the front end of the loan and I would not owe for awhile and lied. It did nothing to help my loan as payments and lease term remained the same Told me we would be able to redo the loan with a lower loan amount to help me lower my payments and start fresh. Then " couldn't find the call '' Took the vehicle from my driveway during an active claim Refused to take payment from me so that I could resolve my vehicle being in future repossession status.

Company: MOHELA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter in the mail from the new federal Student Loan collector MOHELA stating faulty information about my new monthly payments under the new SAVE plan. This payment plan had me listed to pay 2x than I was paying XXXX 

I am fortunate to be too poor to afford this new amount/payment plan, so I called and complained about the new payment plan. MOHELA had no record of them sending the letter, and the stated the payments were not correct. MOHELA stated that they had no records in their system indicating I would ever have to pay the amount that I was notified by mail to pay. 

While the company was able to rectify this issue for myself, giving me a correct payment plan that is {$130.00} cheaper than what was stated on the letter, I am deeply concerned how this system is being handled by MOHELA. One major companys, mistake, may jeopardize the livelihood of other households and incomes. 

Can someone please please please look into this? My concerns are not for myself, but I am the oldest of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and work XXXX hours of a nonprofit. I do not want to see any of my siblings or in-need clients struggle with similar stressful faulty information.
