Consumer complaint received 2023-10-27 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
American Express Savings blocked me from accessing my account by disabling my ID without any prior notification. When trying to login to my American Express Savings account which I've had for XXXX years, I got a notification that my ID no longer existed, and I was unable to access my account. When I called customer service, they informed me that they had blocked my access in violation of their terms of service which state that " You may access our website at any time at go/amex/savingshome. If you have enrolled if you have enrolled in online banking and established a User ID and password. '' Only after spending hours on the phone with several processors did they determine that I was indeed never sent any notifications because I get my statements in paper format, and that they were trying to extract additional personal information from me so that they could link my credit cards to my savings accounts. I was eventually informed that they hadn't XXXX my ID or Account, they had just hidden access to it behind a new URL that again was not documented ( and still is not ) in their Terms of Service. 

This appears to be an attempt by American Express Savings to prevent customers from withdrawing their funds while banks everywhere are struggling with customers leaving for better rates elsewhere.

Complaint narrative:
Good morning, I am reaching out in regards to this provision that applies to those with auto loans where payments were not applied correctly and might have resulted in higher interest or late fees, as well as wrongful repossessions. It also applies to those that paid for GAP coverage ( covering the full loan after accidents or theft ) when Wells Fargo didnt refund money in some cases, as in when the loan was paid ahead of time. 

Thank you.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023, I received a letter in the mail from Barclay 's ( dated XX/XX/2023 ) thanking me for my recent application for the Navyist Rewards Credit Card. They further determined that additional information was needed to process my application and requested that I send a copy of my DL, SS card and utility bill and bank statement. I did not send this information as I did not try to apply for the Navyist Rewards Credit Card. This was fraudulent activity. 

On XX/XX/2023, I was working with a recovery specialist and we called Barclay 's together. Barclay 's stated that someone tried to open this account using my information and that this was a credit card for Old Navy. They stated they would send the fraudulent activity notice to XXXX to have it removed from my credit report. It is still listed on my XXXX credit report that this is a valid inquiry : " Regular Inquiries are posted when someone accesses your credit information from XXXX ''. 

On XX/XX/2023, I was working with a recovery specialist and we again called Barclay 's together. Barclay 's again stated that they would send the fraudulent activity notice to XXXX to have it removed from my credit report. This time they mentioned that they would send me a letter in the mail in 7-10 business days verifying that it had been removed from my credit report. I never received the letter and it is still listed on my XXXX credit report that this is a valid inquiry : " Regular Inquiries are posted when someone accesses your credit information from XXXX ''. 

On XX/XX/2023, I was working with a recovery specialist and we again called Barclay 's together. After many transfers to different departments, phone numbers and people who could not find the application, it was finally found. We had been on the phone for over an hour at this point. This time they mentioned that they would send me a letter in the mail in 7-10 business days verifying that it had been removed from my credit report. As I did not receive a letter after my phone call in XXXX, I am not confident that I will receive a letter this time, therefore I am reporting this to the CFPB.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Citibank closed my account and is saying they will mail out a check after 60 days. They did not provide a reason for this closure. My account was flagged for an account take over because I didnt pass the voice verification while adding my card to my apple wallet, and I went to the branch. Apparently this caused a review on my account and I received a call back saying it was terminated and they couldnt give me a reason why.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My student loans entered repayment XX/XX/2023. I logged into the portal beginning XX/XX/2023 in an attempt to set up payment information. Their portal was unable to accommodate a XXXX bank account due to an unspecific error. 

On XX/XX/2023 I submitted a payment of {$300.00} using my bank account information for a payment date of XXXX payment was not processed due to an error that said : " We can't process your payment for XX/XX/2023 because today 's cutoff time as passed. Please select a different payment amount. '' This error is categorically incorrect because the payment date selected was NOT XX/XX/2023 - I changed the payment date to all kinds of different dates but it never resolved the bug. 

I sent an email to their customer support and the automatic form response read : " Were currently experiencing unprecedented email volume, which is preventing us from responding to your specific question ( s ). We apologize that we arent able to answer your individual email. '' I have attempted every week to make payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each of these payments results in the above error. I have attempted to call their customer service line on these dates, as well as many others. Each of these call attempts results in spending hours waiting only to eventually have the call disconnected. I have been unable to get in contact with ANYONE at Nelnet to process my payment while they wrack up late fees, interest fees, and a number of deregatory remarks and letters. Their system is FORCING these additional fees and remarks upon me because they will NOT accept my money. 

I have even attempting to pay off the entire amount of my student loan - only to have the system deny that payment too! I have been unable to get in contact with anyone at Nelnet for assistance despite multiple attempts. Nelnet is engaging in dark patterns and predatory behavior by not implementing a working payment system.
