Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Good afternoon, On Saturday, XX/XX/2017, I called my bank to inquire about a direct deposit and to ask where did {$340.00} that appeared in account Saturday morning. It was n't showing as a deposit and I knew it was less than what I was expecting. The representative and I reviewed the account and she was unable to identify the origin of the funds. I jokingly said, " I know my bank is n't giving me free money. '' I asked her to check for my direct deposit which she did. At that time, she was unable to locate the funds. I told her please the note account that I 'll be paying my bill with the XXXX. If and when you figure it out, XXXX will reconcile with my direct deposit. 

The funds stayed in the account ; and on Tuesday, XX/XX/2017, the direct deposit show up. I made sure I left the amount I saw over the weekend just in case. On Wednesday the XXXX, my bank charged me an overdraft fee. I called to find out what was going on. The representative was curt and offered very little assistance. I requested a supervisor who immediately inferred I was telling a lie. He insisted he did n't see my call on Saturday and that mysterious funds were in my imagination. When I told him I am not paying for something that I clearly had the funds to cover and that I would file a complaint he escalated to a higher office. I was told I would receive a call within 24 hours, it ; 's been 72 hours with no explanation or call. I have called several times and the matter is still not resolved. 

Additionally, I had paid my electric bill and knew the funds would be a problem because of the overdraft, so, I cleared the overdraft as not have any more issues only to be hit with another overdraft. I clearly had the funds available at the time. You are my only hope. Please help me. 

Thank you

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
A computer glitch that was TransUnion 's problem - not mine - caused two inquiries to be deleted from my credit report. 

TransUnion later added them all back onto my credit report without giving me the legally required written notice 5 days prior to the inquiries being added back to my report. 

I called TransUnion in good faith today ( speaking with XXXX ) and asked them to delete the items that were illegally re-added. He informed me there were never any glitches at Transunion and that the inquiries are valid. These inquiries are an added hardship to me, as I am diligently attempting to ensure that my credit report stays clean and accurate. I feel that I have been victimized that that my simple request to remove the inquires should have been honored. 

I am now asking that you assist in getting TransUnion to remove all inquiries from my credit report as a violation did take place when they were re-added.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
The problems began in XX/XX/XXXX. I graduated at the end of XX/XX/XXXX in the midst of the global financial crisis. Fortunately I was able to find work immediately following graduation from my XXXX program and keep up with student loan payments. Initially everything seemed to be fine but when I was laid off the following fall in XX/XX/XXXX I quickly fell behind. I started receiving numerous communications from then XXXX XXXX, Department of Education Loan Services specifically suggesting forbearance as a first option for dealing with loan repayment. That I can think of no offer was ever made to consider an income based loan repayment program nor was I aware of that option. 

I have 74 emails from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX that provide a timeline of events. I stopped communicating with Navient in spring of XX/XX/XXXX in the midst of yet another spell of unemployment when it was suggested by a phone representative that I should solicit funds from friends and family to make a full payment after offering a partial payment which the representative rejected. 

It has recently come to light that this sort of practice

Complaint narrative:
paid all the arrearage amounts on my loans and little to nothing was removed from the principal balance. it appears that they have been automatically recapitalizing late payments to the principal balance. whenever I make payments nothing ever comes off the principal balance of my loans. I recently paid almost {$4000.00} of payments and less than {$100.00} came off the principal amount. The loans were being amortized down faster before I consolidated them with myfedloan.

Company: Synovus Bank
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This is more involved than just my credit score. When we started shopping for a mortgage in the summer of XXXX, we ultimately chose XXXX XXXX, which was recommended by our realtor. Shelter initially said they could give us a Jumbo Loan at a fixed rate for 10 % down on our $ XXXX purchase. Other companies could n't offer that so we went with XXXX. When it came down to crunch time, we learned that XXXX could no longer offer us that product because our credit score was XXXX, instead of the required XXXX. We also learned that we then needed 15 % down. By that time, it was too late to change companies. So we were told that we needed to have two mortgages- initially both were to be fixed rate. We sought the secondary mortgage from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the last minute, we were told that my credit score dropped to around XXXX. Now, we certainly did n't open new lines of credit or make an large purchases as we were anticipating getting our mortgage. It seems as though a " serious delinquency '' from over 5 years ago ( which was disputed and resolved ) re-appeared on my XXXX credit report. I called XXXX and disputed this report again, but it would take 30+ days to be corrected. In the rush to finish our mortgage before we lost the house ( our " drop dead '' date was fast approaching ), we had to accept a second mortgage at an adjustable rate. Because of all the errors along the way, we ended up with a larger monthly payment than anticipated. We have also estimated that we will pay an additional XXXX over the 30-year lives of our loans due to these errors. In a high-pressure situation as first-time homebuyers, we were in a vulnerable position and were at the mercy of professionals who we feel wronged us.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX I bought a XXXX smart phone at a XXXX store. I told the clerk I needed to connect to internet on multiple devices, including streaming XXXX. She sold me an unlimited data plan to meet my needs. When I got to my son 's home I looked at the papers the XXXX clerk gave me and noticed there was no invoice detailing the service -- such as how much data, when I would be billed, for how much etc. There was only a receipt for the phone itself. I immediately called the store to complain about this and was told the store would be closing in 30 minutes -- not enough time for me to go back there to get an invoice. The next day -- Monday -- my grandkids visited me so I could not go to the XXXX store for the invoice for services they neglected to provide. On Monday I attempted to use the phone 's data to connect to the internet on one device and also connect to netflix using firestick on my TV. I was able to connect to either one or the other using the XXXX 's phone hotspot but I was n't able to connect to two devices at the same time. I owned a {$25.00} smartphone that comes with a limited amount of data per month. With this really cheap phone, I am able to connect to both a laptop and watch XXXX on another device AT THE SAME TIME. So I know what 's possible and I dispute the XXXX clerk 's description of the XXXX XXXX as a " high end '' phone if it ca n't do what my cheap phone CAN DO! 
On XXXX morning, less than XXXX hours after I bought the XXXX phone, I returned it to the XXXX store where I bought it, citing the reasons given above. The clerk said he would refund {$1.00} to my XXXX card mastercard but would charge me a {$50.00} restocking fee. I asked why and he said because it was a high end phone. I consider iphones to be high end phones. I pointed out that the XXXX phone did not perform as was promised and was not able to do what my super cheap smartphone can do. I told the clerk I would dispute the {$50.00} restocking fee with the credit card company. I did dispute the {$50.00} restocking fee. XXXX issued me a credit on my next statement, but now the full amount of {$51.00} AGAIN appears on my XXXX card statement. Furthermore, the sales clerk I returned the phone to lied right to my face. He told me XXXX would " waive '' the {$5.00} data charges I incurred for the incredibly short time I had this phone, but XXXX actually did charge my XXXX card {$5.00} for the data. I did n't dispute the {$5.00} data charges because I actually used a small amount of data.
