Company: MOHELA
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment to mohela on XXXX to completely pay of XXXX, {$33000.00}. I received a confirmation email on XXXX that evening with the Confirmation # : XXXX and a statement that mohela will confirm the payment in 2-3 business days. My bank account shows that {$33000.00} was paid to the dept of education. 

Mohela never confirmed that the loan was paid off. 

I received an email that a message was available on my Mohela account around XXXX. I could not access the account because their were transitioning to another servicing platform. I did receive an email in XX/XX/XXXX that said my account would be transitioned on XXXX. The email did not say that my account would not be accessible. Since then, I can not access my account from Mohela 's old website. I called Mohela but I was not able to speak to someone due to work or the long wait times. 
When Mohela transitioned to their new website, I was not able to use my prior log in information because it was " not on file. '' I entered by SSN and personal information to request by log in information but that too was " not on file. '' Their old website still had my account " in transition. '' I never received an email from Mohela about when my account would be available. 

When I made an account on their website that I received an email stating that " Your account has transitioned to a new online platform. '' What was interesting about this new platform is that none of my prior payments OR my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX was listed. In fact, the loan remained listed and accumulating interest. The payment is not even listed on studentloan.gov despite the dept of education receiving my payment. 
The new account does not have any of the prior messages I received from Mohela as well. 

I was able to speak to someone at Mohela about the payment to XXXX. After about 45 minutes, they were able to locate the payment. I was told the payment would not be processed in 90 days. They could not explain why it would take 90 days. They told me I would not accrue interest on XXXX. When I told them I was, they could not prove a reasonable explanation. 
When I messaged Mohela about the loan payment on their website, they just replied with my question

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
As per my American Express credit card statement with Closing Date XX/XX/XXXX, I had to pay a minimum of {$40.00} by XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I submitted a payment from my bank. Unfortunately, the bank did not process the payment until XXXX XXXX. Nonetheless, I have been informed in the past by support staff at American Express that they go by the date that the payment was submitted and so in theory I should not have had to pay any late fee. 

However, as per the Statement with a Closing Date XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that I am supposed to pay a Late Payment Fee of {$29.00} plus Interest Charge on Pay Over Time Purchases of {$2.00}. This is for an outstanding amount of only {$82.00}. This is altogether a fee of 38.5 %. 

This would seem to clearly go against the rule of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that limits such payments to {$8.00} per month [ SEE CFPB Bans Excessive Credit Card Late Fees, Lowers Typical Fee from {$32.00} to {$8.00} announced on XX/XX/XXXX. Accessed XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX : XXXX ] I called American Express Customer Service XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke to an agent. I questioned the charges and I specifically invoked the CPFB rule. Even after the agent spoke with his supervisor, there was no movement on the side of American Express. I informed them that I would be forced to submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and would probably terminate my account with American Express as a result of this treatment but this made no difference at all.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the way my identity theft complaints have been handled by your bureau. This matter involves not only the theft of my personal data but also reflects a concerning lack of responsiveness and care from your bureau in addressing my situation. 
I have submitted all required documentation, including the XXXX  report filed with the XXXX XXXX XXXX to establish my innocence and highlight the criminal actions involved. Despite the severity of the issue and its significant impact on my life, the response from your bureau has been alarmingly inadequate. Communication about the status of my disputes has been sparse, and the replies I have received have been generic and unhelpful. This neglect has left me feeling ignored and unsupported by the institution I trusted to safeguard my credit and financial well-being. 
I urge your bureau to take my identity theft case seriously and expedite the investigation. Please thoroughly review the evidence provided and promptly remove the fraudulent account and transactions from my credit report. Additionally, I request that measures be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future, as it is evident that my personal information has been mishandled.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year>, Huntington Bank closed all our bank accounts. 9 accounts in total. Business & Personal. They never even told us why they did this. We still have never received notification in writing regarding our account disclosures signed with them. 

When I questioned them on the reasons and reminded them about not being given notice per our account agreement, they quit responding to my questions. 

To make matters worse, they took deposits but would not pay any of the ACH Payments in our accounts costing us over {$1000.00} in fees. 

Another issue, they refused XXXX payments to XXXX for a loan payment. I went into a branch to pick up the remaining monies in the frozen accounts. Since they closed all the accounts, we figured the nightmare was over. 

They went ahead on the XXXX payment and paid XXXX, harassed me nonstop for the {$2000.00} that went negative on a checking account they closed. But their incompetence for not closing this account. I had to go into a branch to make a deposit to this account per their direction. I was not allowed to mobile deposit or ACH Funds. 

Still no response to my questions. They would not even give me the persons name responsible for closing the accounts. I was just informed it was XXXX persons decision. 
We deposited over {$2.00} XXXX Dollars in 3 years at Huntington Bank. 

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated so no one else will have to go through what we went through. It took us over 100 Hours of effort to switch everything over to another financial institution. 

Thank You XXXX XXXX XXXX
