The interest rate is almost 30 % I will never pay anything towards the principal. My payments are monthly and they will always go to Interest. It 's suppose to be a place to help me get out of debt now I 'm in further debt because I ca n't pay this loan off because of the obsurd Interest rates. It 's not a company that wants to help it 's a company that just keeps offering to loan you more money every month to keep you in debt!

Complaint narrative:
My previous place of residence never notified me of an outstanding balance I had with them by phone, mail or in person. When I moved out and turned my keys in to my landlord he told me everything was taken care of and never once did he mention anything about still owing the apartment {$400.00}. I was n't aware of any outstanding balance with my previous landlord until 6 months after I moved out when I received a letter in the mail from a collections agency telling me they were processing this account to be placed on my credit history. I tried contacting the apartment manager to discuss what this {$400.00} fe was for and was unable to reach him. I still do n't know why I owe this amount and never did i recieve my deposit back either. If I am unaware that I owe any amount of money and never notified what the fee was for how can I pay it before it goes to collections and ruins my credit preventing me from renting or finding residence anywhere else.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I have wrote to Barclay multiple times to have them remove me from their mailing list. I continuously get emails from them and have requested for them to remove me after every harassing email. I was told by the secure message center that they can not remove me from this. I do n't understand how they can not remove me. I NEVER signed up for these harassing emails in the first place so someone had to add me to this list and I want that person to remove me from the harassing emails. It is ILLEGAL to continue to send these SPAM emails to an individual after they have requested to be removed. So I will give them XXXX final chance to remove me from the mailing list. Next recourse will be to report them to the FTC and/or the state XXXX. Additionally, I will be informing my internet provider of XXXX XXXX that this company is sending out SPAM emails. And I will submit a claim and complaint every time I am sent a harassing email so that all actions are documented. Thanks.

I receive repeated calls from Conns every one to two hours a day concerning my monthly payment. I only get paid on the XXXX and XXXX of the month, and have been carrying the load due to reduced income in my home. I have explained this to them numerous time, and yet they continue with rude and abusive questioning trying to get into my personal business. Stating that " my personal business is there business since I have their product ''. I gave them a definite day as to when I will pay them. Yet they have pushed me as far as having to get into further debt by applying for payday loans to stop their threats and harassment in the past, and I refuse to take out anymore loans. I understand that I have signed an agreement, and I intend to pay then XXXX XXXX for my XX/XX/XXXX payment, and will make my XX/XX/XXXX payment. My circumstances are strenuous, but I intend on making it work. I am currently a few days behind for my XX/XX/XXXX payment, and have stressed to them when I will pay. The harassment has gone too far.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony bank the owner of my Amazon store card closed my credit card account without my authorization due to Synchrony 's failure to resubmit payment requests to my secure online bank account. They initially took the payment before I agreed with them on a time to take the payment. Three days later, when the payment was supposed to have been taken there would have been money in the personal bank account the credit card company was requesting the payment from. They tried to take the payment three more times before the scheduled payment date. As a result, my bank refused payment because the money was not yet in the account. Two weeks ago they closed the account and cancelled all services due to an issue caused by their attempting to take a scheduled payment too soon. I have explained to them, that if they want their money they will either have to send the balance to collections, or reopen my credit card account. I have cancelled all payment sources on this account until this bank error can be resolved by Synchrony bank. I will not pay them any more of the balance until they reopen my account, or send it to collections. I have suffered financial losses due to their failure to take the scheduled payment on time amounting to upwards of {$50.00} or more. I guarantee they will not get their money owed until this issue can be resolved on their end, or the account is forced to collections. I have made a good faith effort attempt to contact them, with my concerns to resolve this debt. If I do not hear from them in the next 48 hours with some possible negotiations on this balance, my previous statements made here will stand. If Amazon.com has any concerns about their credit card vendors, I am happy to speak with them, and to offer alternative vendor suggestions for synchrony bank. This is an unacceptable treatment of limited income customers by Synchrony bank, and may actually qualify as predatory lending. If this is the case then Synchrony Bank has violated federal law with regards to Predatory lending policies. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have been making payments on my husband 's account for the past few months getting his account paid off. When it came down the the VERY LAST PAYMENT, my account was charged XXXX more than what it was supposed to be charged and the payoff was n't even that much. 
I called on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX at XXXX and spoke with a representative for 15 minutes and 27 seconds ( per my XXXX records ) and made sure the payment to come out on Thursday, XXXX XXXX was for {$550.00}. This morning, I checked my account and it was a payment pending for {$780.00}. I called and was on the phone with representatives back an forth for 2 hours and 43 minutes. I had asked for a supervisor, and was put on hold. I asked for the AVP, and was hung up on. My husband was on the phone with me and he even called from his work phone, only to be on hold for over an hour with them only to be given wrong information and NO RESOLUTION to the issue. All I wanted was MY MONEY BACK. I missed 2 hours of work this morning trying to handle this situation. The representatives were more concerned about a rep inputting the wrong information when I called on Tuesday than my money missing. The rep put in the notes that my husband called, but I was the one that called and I verified MY name and MY bank account information. One rep stated that the account was sent to the office of the President, however, she was the one who hung up on me when I asked for the AVP. I am BEYOND furious since we had plans to do other things and now my account is in over draft with no idea of when I will be getting my money back. When I asked any of the reps to give me their I.D . numbers, they either placed me on hold or ignored my question. They saw in the notes that the payment was made, but did not give a resolution to the issue. Instead, they just kept putting us on hold and transferring us. My husband said it happened to him a few months ago. They took alot more than he had authorized and they told him that he would be better off leaving it since he had another payment coming due. He said it took them 2 weeks to return his money after he called SEVERAL times.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had a CD with Synchrony. When it matured, they rolled it over without asking ( fine print in the contract ). I called TWO DAYS later, but they were adamant. Told them they can keep the interest earned since it rolled over, but they charged interest on the FUTURE time that the CD would be with them - six months ' worth. 
I called and explained there was a death in the family and that is why I needed the money. They asked for it in writing, saying they would break the CD and not charge a fee. 
I sent them the letter, but they never bothered to respond. They mailed a check, deducting the money they basically stole from me. They took half of the interest from the previous year. 
When I called, their representatives said they had made a mistake, but that they would not pay for it. They did not hide the fact that they had my money, there was nothing I could do about it and that they did not care what their customer thought of their actions.
