Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  sold this account number on XX/XX/2018 even though they sold this account number they are currently after 5 years reporting to my credit report as if they are still in ownership of this account number. Ive reached out to them multiple times to delete this inaccurate and unfair reporting from my credit report and they have failed to do so. Ive contacted them through Cfpb already and nothing has been done. They are admitting to selling the debt but its still reflects on my report inaccurately. I ask that this account be deleted immediately due to unfair inaccurate and misuse of credit reporting. Which is a violation of my rights as a consumer.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a purchase from XXXX for worth XXXX. This was marked delivered by XXXX but sadly I never got the package. I reached out to XXXX saying the package could maybe lost/stolen and they asked me to reach out to my credit card company, American Express , and open a dispute. After doing so, amex keeps closing my dispute in the favor of the merchant saying they have provided the necessary proof that my package was handed over to me. This proof is just the tracking information that is available to me already, which, in my opinion, is not enough. The burden of delivery should be borne by the merchant as they are the shipper and should be the ones liaising with the shipping company to track my package, or file a claim. However, Amex believes I should reach out to shipping company but they want the shipper to raise a claim. I have even raised a police complaint with XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding my missing package and they have ruled it as lost. I am not sure what else is needed for me to prove my case? 

I have reopened the dispute three times and every single time, it's the same proof that is given to me, which is nothing more than a screenshot of a publicly available tracking information.

Complaint narrative:
I had a prepaid card with BofA from XXXXXXXX  for child support and than for PUA unemployment . Ive been trying to recover all funds that were stolen but also they sent me my statements and numerous transactions show double or triple charged!!! Now all of a sudden when I call to check balance on either account or to pull funds Im told they cant help me over the phone I have to go in to a branch. Well that would be fine if there was one in XXXX the nearest one is 80+ miles away and I have no transportation and they dont seem to care. So now I cant finish my disputes or collect my funds. Not to mention a claim previously investigated and finalized in my favor they reversed it and wont give it back because they claim I was over paid on that account which is a crock of XXXX! They owe me that {$780.00} or whatever it was. I have allot of money they owe me based off my bank statements and theyre now preventing me from getting any of it back

Company: MOHELA
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I was added to the SAVE plan and given a balance due amount for a short time. Then, it was removed and I was put in forbearance until XXXX, with no explanation as to why. I had to contact them to find out that it was due to a borrower defense claim that I have pending. I was then told that if I don't make payments, the forbearance will not count for PSLF forgiveness. Apparently, this may not be the case. Not knowing what to do, I asked to be removed from the forbearance so I could make my XXXX payment ( the first month we are required to pay after the COVID freeze. ) They have not responded to my request and so I will not be able to make a payment on time and will be penalized for this.

Complaint narrative:
Twice now, and on time, I have made a payment to pay off loans directly from my bank account, which I triple-checked to make sure I had the right routing and account number, and both payments ended up with a payment reversal status the exact same day I tried to pay them. 

My first payment was {$120.00} on XX/XX/ and my second payment was {$240.00} on XX/XX/. I received payment confirmed emails both times and NO indication that the payment was rejected for any reason. 

I would like to pay these off in a timely manner and they have not been helpful at all.

Aidvantage is reporting late payments for the XX/XX/2023 student loan repayment. Due date is XX/XX/. On XX/XX/XXXX  the funds were processed and payment was received by Aidvantage, yet all of my loan accounts show an increase in balance, not a decrease. 

Payment made is in excess of minimum amount due. Payment was made prior to due date. Payment was processed prior to due date. 

Two attempts to call and discuss the issue with Aidvantage resulted in greater than two hours in queue for two seperate calls as the first call resulted in the representative hanging up, same result with the 2nd representative.
