Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In year XXXX  I purchase a mattress from a store call XXXX XXXX XXXX. They offered what I believed to be interest free loan fully amortized. They factored this to a credit card company SYNCHRONY XXXX. Turns out the term was only 24 months not fully amortized as the salesman told me. I had been making monthly payment as required by autopay so no payment was ever late. I was never notified that the 24-month interest free loan was ended and accordingly payment in full on the balance was due, I received a statement from Synchrony that because I did not pay the balance due the previous month, I was in violation of the terms, and they assessed a {$6600.00} interest charge. Had I been informed in writing or verbally my payment in full was due, I would have at that time paid the balance off in full Only when I received a statement indicating all the deferred interest One month later pay I immediately paid the balance off in full minus their interest charges. I called the company and explained I never received any notification that a full payoff was due. They told me too bad, they will not remove the deferred interest, This company received all monthly payments and now on a {$3800.00} balance which no notification I ever received add on {$6600.00} in interest. This is Predatory Lending.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Wells Fargo Bank regarding XXXX unauthorized transactions made through my account after my phone number was stolen in a SIM swap identity theft case. 

I submitted XXXX separate claims, and all were denied. Even after I submitted a complaint through the Attorney Generals office, Wells Fargo still rejected the claim because they said they needed a letter from the phone company confirming the SIM swap and lack of access to my phone number. 

As of today, XX/XX/year>, I have received the official letter from XXXX XXXX, which confirms the following : My phone number ( XXXX ) was fraudulently accessed by someone impersonating me on XX/XX/year>. 
I had no access to the number from that date onward. 
The phone line was suspended due to unauthorized activity. 
I was a victim of identity theft and did not authorize any financial activity during that time. 

This is the exact documentation the bank claimed was missing. There is now no excuse for withholding my funds. 

The original failure was Wells Fargos, not mine. After waiting XXXX hours in the branch to report the fraud, employees misled me and falsely told me that everything had been closed and secured, which was not true. As a result, my account continued to be accessed, and I lost money. 

I have been living under severe stress since this happened, and I believe Wells Fargo failed in its basic responsibility to protect my account and handle my claim honestly. 

I am requesting a full refund for the unauthorized transactions and that this case be properly investigated. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I believe a predatory lender unfairly targeted me during a time of serious medical hardship that climaxed in XX/XX/2023 and continues to disable me to date permanently. The practice of offering predatory loans by phone, email, or postal mail was fraudulent and harassing. Whereas XXXX laws do not require me to disclose my medical records, I am attaching XXXX of my AVS ( After Visit Summaries ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The predatory loans I received included excessively high interest rates, deceptive terms, resulting in significant damage to my credit report. 

Ive targeted XXXX therapy as well as ongoing XXXX treatments to stabilize my diagnosis of XXXX XXXX ALK-positive non-small cell XXXX XXXX, a rare and life-threatening condition. At times, I would even undergo surgical procedures in the face of overwhelming medical expenses. I was not mentally, physically, or emotionally able to fully comprehend or evaluate complex financial contracts. 

While in this vulnerable condition, I was approached by Comenity Bank, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX  which offered me a high-interest loan with terms that I now recognize as predatory. I accepted out of desperation to cover urgent living and medical expenses. Since then, these loans have been reported to the credit bureaus, causing damaging consequences. Most of the negative statuses from these predatory lenders indicate Sold ; was Charged-off on my credit report. I am mentally handicapped when trying to sort through the fraudulent attempts to collect a debt showing " paid or sold ; was Charged-off '' on my credit report. Before Sold ; was Charged-off, I paid as agreed. When the payment was late, it was late due to circumstances beyond my control. I didnt ask for XXXX XXXX. Sorting through fraudulent predatory loans is something my brain cant handle. 

Im convinced I was taken advantage of due to my medical crisis, and that the lender acted unethically by extending such harmful terms during a time when I was especially vulnerable. As previously mentioned, I am permanently XXXX and XXXX XXXX has shown on my MRI. Lymph nodes are visible on my CT scans. I need your help. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate the fraudulent and predatory practices of any negative items reported to the credit bureaus. I plead that these loans be reviewed for removal, given the circumstances of my diagnosis and ongoing treatment. I am also seeking assurance that this fraudulent and predatory lending will be addressed and prevented for others experiencing medical crises. 

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and consideration of the requests made in my complaint.
