Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a car loan from Fifth Third Bank back in XXXX. I paid off the loan completely by XXXX. The bank never released the title. I called them and asked them to release the title, they told me they would, but never did. XXXX hit and I forgot about this issue. 
Forward to now, I'm trying to either get different insurance or sell my car ( depending on the insurance ), but I realize I need the title. I put in a request in the California XXXX for my title, only to be informed that the bank never removed the lean like they were supposed to. I was told that I needed to pay money fill out some forms and get a letter from the bank that the lean has to be removed. I called the bank on XX/XX/XXXX and requested the document. They told me they could fax it to me in XXXX business days. I waited until the XXXX with no fax and called them again. 
This time, they told me they don't know what happened, and that I would need to request it again. I argued that it had already taken more than a week and I couldn't keep waiting, but they gave me no option. They opened up a case number and told me they would call back in 3 days. Today, XX/XX/XXXX was the XXXX day with no call so I called them. They informed me that they are not allowed to fax this letter, that I've should have been told, but now they have to mail it. They will not expedite it and I will need to wait XXXX business day so they can ( hopefully ) mail it out. 
At this point, I don't believe the bank has any of the paperwork. They will not release the lean or provide me with the documents even though the loan was paid off. I need help with actually getting them to release my car and my title.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a loyal XXXX XXXX Synchrony Bank ) customer for XXXX years, consistently making on-time credit card payments during this period. However, XXXX days ago, I was taken aback when XXXX XXXX unexpectedly reduced my credit limit from {$500.00} to {$300.00} without sending me a required XXXX adverse action notice, as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ). 

In my attempts to address this matter, I have conversed with XXXX XXXX representatives, namely XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Both of them have conveyed that they have extensive experience, each having worked at the company for over a decade, and both have stated that XXXX does not traditionally inform consumers of such changes through notices. In fact, they affirmed that they have never encountered a situation where XXXX sent out an adverse action notice to customers. 

I respectfully asked whether they could provide any evidence of such a notice being sent, and both confirmed they could not. This situation raises concerns as, according to the guidelines set forth by the CFPB, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), creditors are obligated to furnish consumers with a XXXX adverse action notice explaining the reasons for any credit limit reduction before implementing such changes. 

I am left with no choice but to request documented proof of this notice, as its absence XXXX lead me to contact my attorney, XXXX XXXX, to pursue penalties and damages resulting from the adverse impact on my credit report and personal reputation. Please consider this communication as a formal warning. A third letter, authored by XXXX XXXX, XXXX follow if this issue remains unresolved. 

I sincerely hope that we can reach a reasonable resolution to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. Thank you for your attention.
