Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have the authentic images of 2 withdrawals from my XXXX checking account on XX/XX/2008. The first is for {$200.00} and then shortly after for {$7000.00}. My name is not even correct and the signature is not close to my own. I have a claim number and Wells Fargo conducted an investigation but then said that it had occurred too long ago. They knew the date before they opened the investigation so that reason does not even make any sense. They will not tell me any findings. I believe this was an inside job by the bank. Both images have XXXX, PA on them. I bank in XXXX XXXX MD. I have NEVER done two withdrawals on the same day. Again, the name is NOT my name and the signature is very obviously not mine. 

I provided the bank with the images for both withdrawals. However if necessary I can provide those again.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2018, I received a summons from XXXX XXXX law firm regarding a XXXX XXXX credit card business account that had been closed with a remaining bance of {$2200.00}. I called the law firm on XX/XX/2018 and made a settlement agreement to pay {$700.00} in exchange for XXXX XXXX reporting the account with a {$0.00} balance. The call was legally recorded for sufficient evidence. I paid the {$700.00} in XX/XX/2018 and received paperwork from the firm stating the settlement was paid in full. XXXX XXXX changed the balance from {$2200.00} to {$1500.00}. The agreement was for a {$0.00} balance. I called XXXX XXXX and disputed the with all three credit bureaus without any success at almost 60 days beyond the satisfied agreement. I will upload documents and recorded call if possible.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted an employment certification form ( ECF ) form to have qualifying payments counted from the years I've worked for XXXX College XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ).

XXXX XXXX denied the ECF, stating that section 3, Item 5, the employment begin date was not filled out. It was clearly filled out.

They also said section 3, items 9-13 were not filled out. Item 9 was clearly filled out, Item 10 was clearly filled out and the instructions on item 10 said to skip to section 4, so the remaining items 11-13 were unecessary They also said that they were denying it because section 4 had been filled out by my employer. The instructions for section 4 clearly state in all caps " TO BE FILLED OUT BY EMPLOYER ''.

I submitted the form again with these areas highlighted and explained that their reasons were invalid.

They denied it again saying that the official from the employer had not listed her phone number. She had clearly listed it on the appropriate line in section 4.

Furthermore, they reduced the number of payments that had already qualified without any explanation at all. I had already certified 14 qualifying payments. They reduced that number to 12 with no explanation at all. The real number should be closer to 40.

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving emails that payments have not been submitted then getting late fees and charged again and again. My bank statements show the money is being submitted to AES however they keep calling my parent 's house and harassing them and I keep paying more but the emails and calls dont stop. I have screen shots of the latest transactions ( email and my bank statements showing in making multiple payments ) I feel like I am being taken advantage of and I do not like these creditors calling my parents home phone ( I have not lived there for 9 years ) as they are old and this causes unwarranted stress which could lead to health conditions and their untimely death.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) in XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX became my new student loan servicer. In XX/XX/XXXX, when it came time for my annual recertification, my monthly loan amount jumped up from {$120.00} per month it had been for the prior 12 months to {$620.00} per month. I called to ask why the amount had increased so precipitously. XXXX XXXX told me that the total income from my XXXX taxes had increased because as a newly-married person I had filed jointly for the first time with my spouse. It did not matter to XXXX XXXX that my spouse also had similar student loans to repay. I informed them that I would be unable to sustainably pay a monthly amount of {$620.00} and asked for a smaller monthly payment. I was told to submit an application for the Revised Pay As You Earn ( REPAYE ) Income-Driven Repayment ( IDR ) plan. The entire process to achieve this new REPAYE payment plan took six months, calls from me to XXXX on at least a monthly basis to ask and plead for them to complete the recalculation and to place myself on forebearance time and time again because each month prior to my monthly due date I would receive automated letters into my XXXX account saying that I was required to pay between {$1500.00} and {$1500.00}. Had XXXX XXXX acted accountably and quickly on my request to change payment plans due to having too high a monthly payment, I would not have had to request continual forebearance on a monthly repayment requirement that rose to over 11 times what I had been accustomed to paying affordably. It was only in XX/XX/XXXX that my request to move to a REPAYE payment plan was approved, with the first monthly payment coming in XX/XX/XXXX of {$370.00}, an amount over twice as high as the {$120.00} that I had been paying in the previous certified year. 

I thought this issue had been resolved until I read the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX article " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' I recalled the difficulties I had faced for six months in XXXX trying to obtain a new payment plan and decided to log in to my XXXX XXXX  account to check in further detail what had happened with my loans. I discovered that in that time period, I had suffered an increase in the principal amount of my loans from {$85000.00} in the year in which I paid {$120.00} per month to {$98000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX, due to Interest Capitalization. This frustrates me because the only reason my interest was capitalized during this time frame was because I was waiting on XXXX XXXX  to lower my monthly payment to the REPAYE plan and having to request a monthly forebearance due to the punishing amounts of over {$1500.00} per month that they were requesting in the interim.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I signed a car loan in XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, due to thousands of dollars in repairs, the loan company allowed me to get an extension on a monthly payment 3 or 4 times. I was told that in getting the extension, it would merely extend my loan by that many months. In XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, my Loan was transferred due to bankruptcy. The new loan company has conducted business by collecting monthly payments and continuing to confirm how many I have left before my loan is paid off. That is, until XX/XX/XXXX. I called to make a payment and was told I owe a balloon payment. I have never been told of a balloon payment in the life of this loan. They are now threatening to take my truck if I do not pay $ XXXX+ a per diem interest. One of their employees told me " that's what this kind of company does. They get you to the end of the loan and then tell you to make a payment that most people can't afford. Then they repo the property, resell it and still have you in debt for the rest ''

It is my understanding that per the Homeowners Protection Act of XXXX, once my loan reaches a Loan-To-Value ratio of 78 %, PMI is to be automatically removed. With my most recent extra payment on XX/XX/XXXX applied to principle only, my Loan-To-Value ratio is no 77.9 % and it is my belief that I qualify to remove PMI. My most recent appraisal in the Fall of XXXX valued my home at {$450000.00}. I have been in communication with Shellpoint since XX/XX/XXXX regarding my desire to remove PMI. I realize the time has not been much since my initial communication to XXXX XXXX XXXX but I want to address this before I am charged anymore PMI and have to work on getting a refund On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that in order to remove PMI, I must meet certain conditions. As I mentioned earlier, I am current now and always have been with my payments. There are no liens on my property. There is one requirement where I believe XXXX XXXX XXXX to be in violation of The Homeowners Protection Act. There letter states that I must request an appraisal at my expense ( minimum {$400.00} ) and that my LTV ratio requirements will range from 65 % to 80 % to qualify for early cancellation. I am submitting a copy of the document I received.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with Santander bank online on XX/XX/2018. I opened this account because they sent me a promo bonus in the mail. The promo promises to grant {$220.00} to an individual that opens a Simply checking account with Direct deposits that equal over {$900.00} within 90 days. After that the {$220.00} promo bonus is supposed to be added to account. I called the first time about this situation on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a bank rep that stated she will open a case about the inquiry. I called back a week later, and spoke with another representative that told me that the case was reviewed and closed and it was denied by the marketing team because I supposedly opened an account a year ago. 

When I opened the account the first time was never officially opened because they delayed to process the signature form that was signed off by me to open my account more than a year ago. I also never used a promo code or received any promo bonuses whatsoever the first time I opened an account with Santander. 

A few days ago, I spoke with a marketing representative from Santander and explained the situation again to her. Her name is XXXX and her number is XXXX. She stated she will reach out to me in a couple of days. 

I would like to open a case through this portal to ensure Santander keeps its promise.
