Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I applied for XXXX auto loan with your firm and have my credit FROZEN per State and Federal Law. I was informed by GM Financial credit department that on XX/XX/2016 they were unable to pull my report and that I needed to unlock my credit again .... This LIE repeated on XX/XX/2016 and XX/XX/2016. I was deceived by GM Financial into unlocking my report when they clearly ran my credit multiple times when ONLY one time was warranted and authorized. 
GM Financial credit department made a false and deceptive statement to me creating financial damage, stress and harm. 
I have seen with my own eyes that your company in fact lied and deceived me on : GM FINANCIAL Inquiry Date XX/XX/2016 GM FINANCIAL Inquiry Date XX/XX/2016 GM FINANCIAL Inquiry Date XX/XX/2016 ran unauthorized credit report on me. At no time did I ever authorize them to run my credit more than once in FACT I HAD IT FROZEN. 
They have made it impossible for me to refinance my home mortgage that I need to do NOW! Your blatant false statements and actions against my credit are unconscionable and need to be corrected at ONCE!

Complaint narrative:
Took a loan out with Santander Bank on XX/XX/2016. They escrowed money from my loan proceeds to pay all of XX/XX/2016 taxes. Just found out they never paid them and now I 'm delinquent on my borough and county taxes. When I called them they told me they never took out the money which I can see on my settlement statement they did. XXXX XXXX in Mortgage Servicing told me they never with held any loan proceeds. I want a full accounting of my entire settlement, since they also paid off homeowners, title insurance, etc. Every time I call them I get a run around.

Company: NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE COMPANY LLC

Complaint narrative:
I returned a lease ( XXXX XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX, the car was sold at auction XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX. The plates were never returned to XXXX by the XXXX XXXX dealership, when the car was sold it appears the plates were still with/on the car. XX/XX/XXXX, I received a parking ticket for the vehicle that I have not owned for 3 years. After contacting the leasing company they issued me a letter stating the above so the court ( XXXX, NJ ) would dismiss the ticket. Separately I contacted XXXX via their Customer Advocacy Office in XXXX, requesting them to mark the plates as lost. They declined indicating I was no longer listed as the owner ( even though the plates are still in my name ) and that request has to come from Infiniti/Nissan. After weeks of back and forth calls with Infiniti/Nissan, they said they will only provide the previous letter issued and advised I should report the plates as stolen. Technically the car was not stolen, but the license plates are being used illegally. I was told Infiniti/Finance checked with their legal department and declined my request, I asked to speak with someone in that department and was told they would not speak with me. I spoke with an attorney and she advised filing a formal complaint as Infiniti is clearly at fault for not returning the plates, or catching that they were still on the vehicle when it was sent for auction. As this was my first lease I did not know that I was responsible for returning the plates since the plates were sent to the dealership upon my purchase of the vehicle. Infiniti finance has closed the door on assisting, when all XXXX is requesting is one sentence be added to their letter. I even checked with the local police department to see if they can assist and they advised it was the responsibility of Infiniti to work this out with XXXX.

The customer service said it would be XXXX XXXX. But it was still not posted. I requested again on XXXX XXXX, however, they said I 'm not eligible for this promotion any more. I 'm disappointed about how could they reply with different answers before and after. I totally followed the required terms and confirmed with them before.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX took {$6000.00} from my bank account last week. The first withdrawal was under my consent. The additional XXXX withdrawals were not. 
plan meant I was required to sign up for XXXX XXXX which is an electronic direct withdrawal from my bank account monthly for the AGREED upon amount. 

I set the additional payment online via echeck, hit submit ONCE, and got XXXX confirmation number. Fast forward to yesterday and XXXX has withdrawn an additional {$6000.00} dollars from my bank account using the SAME check number. The amount of catastrophe this has caused is unmeasurable. 

In all, XXXX made XXXX {$6000.00} withdrawals in two days from my account using the same Echeck number, a total of {$18000.00} dollars of which only XXXX installment was returned leaving me - {$12000.00} and unable to pay my bills on time. 

I spoke with XXXX at XXXX yesterday who informed me the 'refund ' process takes 30 days and my best bet is to speak with my bank. 

My bank account is now negative thousands of dollars and I can not pay my rent, buy groceries and will be late on and charged fees for a number of other loan and utility accounts. 

I spent a significant amount of time on the phone with several Santander Bank representatives yesterday ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) who while I 'm sure did their best to provide customer service told me the business could process a refund no faster than 10 days and it could take up to 45 days to resolve. 
The bank allowed an issuance of the same echeck on three separate transactions. 
It took the bank a full week to inform me my account had been overdrawn to this point. In the 10 years I 've had my account, it 's been overdrawn once, by {$2.00}, and you mean to tell me there were no red flags when {$18000.00} was withdrawn in two days bringing my account far into the red? 
I was also informed that I could not be given a temporary balance adjustment in the meantime AND that the overdraw fees being charged to my negative many thousands of dollars account could only be resolved after the fact in another entirely separate dispute. I was also told that the bank would not assist me in speaking with XXXX to resolve the conflict. 

I have been a customer of Santander Bank since 2006 and will be closing my account with them as soon as this is resolved.

Company: FISHER FINANCIAL GROUP, INCORPORATED
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a refinance of my home mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( company based in Arizona ). I started this process in XXXX of 2014. To date, they have failed to complete the transaction. There have been multiple issues along the way. First, I was told that I would be able to combine my XXXX and XXXX mortgage at a rate of 4 %. After being told that, I started the application process. Shortly after that, I was told the combined loan was not available because I have made a withdrawal from my Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) in the last year. I had disclosed that fact prior to this time and I was told that an exception would be made because the overall balance on the line of credit had decreased over time ( in other words, I had paid back more on the line that I had taken out ). Even still, I was denied the original offer ( made by XXXX XXXX ). We then proceeded to refinance my primary loan to a rate of 4 %. During this process, there were delays on the part of XXXX XXXX XXXX. They failed to clear their own XXXX XXXX in a timely fashion that resulted in the appraisal of the subject property to expire. By that time, the lender in question had rescinded their offer of 4 %. Instead, a rate of 4.25 % was offered. I was then told that a second lender ( XXXX XXXX ) had offered to refinance the primary loan at 4 %. The process was started again, with a XXXX appraisal. As of today, I was told that upon final review before closing that 4 % was no longer available. Again, I was offered 4.25 %. 

The whole process seems fraudulent to me. A way to delay the process such that loans with best rates are delayed so that they are cleared to close only when rates go up. How can a company take 7 month to process a loan?

Complaint narrative:
Currently, I have a principal retirement payment taken out monthly in addition to my usual payment plus escrow. I want change this. In the middle of the holidays, I called the mortgagor, Santander, to make a change. They blocked access based on both the last XXXX digits of my SSN, and the whole SSN. The response was that it was incorrect. I know my SSN. They do too, as my tax forms ( XXXX, XXXX ) arrive at my address with the correct SSN. After that I tried to access a person and got cut off. I have run into this before with Santander. They obstruct for some reason ant interaction with their clients. 
When I tried to set up this accelerated payment, they resisted my efforts, until I filed a complaint with CFPB. Then they complied. It appears to me that the only way to deal with this bank is through your agency.

State: MA

Complaint narrative:
As a loyal customer of Santander Bank, I am not happy that I had to hear from another Bank that Santander had a privacy breach. As a customer I would expect Santander to notify its customers, but instead I need to hear the news from another Bank that received a privacy breach letter from Santander. The letter another Bank received discussed the following : On XXXX XXXX, 2016 Santander Bank sent an image cash letter file to the FRB and the file did not have a correct alignment of the data to the image records and as a result, it is possible that check images from the file were viewed by third parties or unintended recipients of the check images. Being a resident of the state of Massachusetts where privacy is taken extremely serious and being a customer of Santander, you would think the Bank would notify its customers that such event occurred or let them know the event occurred and their information is safe whether an image of their check or information was viewed by a third party or not. 
I have been highly unsatisfied with Santander 's customer service recently and this just puts the icing on the cake in terms of me taking my deposits elsewhere. I do not see how this Bank could keep me as a customer at this point. Recently, they decided to take away my XXXX checking account with no reason on why the product was being cancelled even after I asked to be contacted. They even went to the level of being unfair and deceptive in terms of only offering {$150.00} to new customers of their simply right checking product which is what they are putting me into after closing their extra20 product and told me that existing customers do not qualify. So they are forcing me into a product I do n't want and not offering me a bonus because I am not a new customer. None of this makes sense. You would think that they would offer existing customers something after forcing them all out of a product. You would even think they would grandfather customers into the product to not lose them or get to the point where a complaint has to be filed because the Bank is becoming unfair and deceptive to its customers. 
If Santander wants to win my business back they should be notifying their customers about this breach and always honoring their customer requests to keep them in products they are discontinuing. The Bank should be fair to its customers and not try to deceive them as well. If they can not do this they are just turning into a XXXX XXXX and will wind up in the news in a negative light for being unfair and deceptive. I am sure I will not be the only customer to complain or approach the news stations on this topic. 
I hope the CFPB and regulatory agencies can assist in this matter and force Santander to clean up its act.

Complaint narrative:
I had a lease with GM Financial which was expiring in XXXX 2015. Beginning in XXXX, 2015 I received numerous calls and letters from GM with several offers to return the car earlier than XXXX and leasing a brand new vehicle. I accepted an offer from GM in XXXX, 2015 and returned the car and leased a 2015. The offer I accepted was GM would cover XXXX lease payments up to {$3000.00} and XXXX cash allowance towards new purchase or lease. I owed XXXX payments to GM@XXXX totaling XXXX which was well below the XXXX max. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I keep receiving invoices, phone calls, etc from GM requesting the remaining payments on the original lease and late fees. I have called GM and the dealer, XXXX 's Buick in Massachuetts and both keep responding that all is ok so why do I keep getting these invoices. My perception is GM is not honoring their commitments and overcharging their customers.

Complaint narrative:
I should have walked away when processing the loan. In order to be financed, I was required to purchase an expensive extended warranty that I did not want, and expressed I did not want. Then, somehow XXXX gained access to my personal information in the loan application and started calling my employer trying to sell me service ( got me in a lot of trouble at work ). I thought that was private information. In addition to the extremely high interest rate ( which was my fault for agreeing to-I understand that ), if you are late, they hit you with incredibly high fees that can exceed your actual payment. When my husband lost his job, I fell behind on my payments. They called me XXXX a day, even after making payment arrangements. I had to request they contact me by email or mail, and not by phone because they were harassing me. They did not like that. Even now, when I call, they do n't want to talk until I give them a number to call me on. Then, without warning or notice or anything, they repossessed my vehicle when it was only a month past due. Stay far far away from this scam of a company. It 's like making a deal with the XXXX himself.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received a letter from Navy Federal Credit Union which advised me that my Home Equity Line of Credit was being suspended due to " a review of my credit history including a decline in my credit score '' This infuriates me because this credit line is a credit extension that is related to my home. Basically this change is a call in of a loan that to my understanding gave me a 20 year " draw '' period in which I was able to utilize the credit. This LOC is not even a year old. I was never advised that there was a minimum credit score that I had to maintain, nor was I ever told that they could call the loan in whenever they desired. I have never missed a payment since opening this account and was late only once because my direct deposit from my job did not take place on the date that it was supposed to and the ACH did not properly process. This payment was made as soon as I realized what happened. 
Navy Federal tells me in the letter that I can appeal their decision but I would have to pay for an new appraisal, which I believe was {$560.00}, so basically I can pay a fee to gain access to what I was already provided with. I believe that amounts to holding my account hostage. My home has not lost its value and my credit worthiness has not changed in relation to my ability to maintain my obligations and I should not have to beg for a loan on my home that I have already been given.
