Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, took possession of my vehicle in early XX/XX/XXXX, despite me being ahead of my payment schedule. When I called the company, they stated an error had been made, and returned the vehicle to my possession. Shortly after the company towed my car without cause, the transmission failed, due to the tow operators treatment of the vehicle. In early XX/XX/XXXX, I called the company, requesting them to take the vehicle back. At the time, they informed me the repossession would appear on my credit, which I understood. At the time I returned the car, my payments were up to date. 

Starting in XXXX of XXXX, the creditor started reporting a delinquent balance of {$5700.00} and have continued reporting that outstanding balance each month. The information on my XXXX Report has been updated correctly, however, both Equifax and XXXX continue to reflect the account in 90+ days overdue status every month. Since the day I called the creditor to take back the car, I have not had any communications regarding the balance owed on the vehicle, any value the company was able to recover, or any deficiency balance owed to the creditor by mail or by phone.

Complaint narrative:
CASE DESCRIPTION : This complaint is made against US Bank XXXX, as one of its subsidiaries, Elan Financial services is ultimately responsible. While well hidden, the policies are created but US Bank XXXX which is the responsible party in this complaint. 

Through a solicitation I received in the mail, I signed up for the Ent XXXX Credit Card ( offered by Elan Financial Servies, a division of US Bank XXXX. Part of the reason for getting this card was the generous 5 % that they offered for certain categories such as home utilities. Based on the solicitation, I decided to get the card. I selected XXXX XXXX for XXXX of the 5 % categories and incurred a convenience fee in order to pay my home utility, Colorado XXXXXXXX XXXX. The transaction posted at 1 % and when I called I was told this was an obvious mistake and that it would be fixed. When it was not fixed, I contacted Ent again and was told that Colorado XXXXXXXX XXXX, despite posting with the merchant code was not considered a utility as they do not have utility as their primary business. I am surprised as Ent is headquartered in Colorado XXXX and I would imagine pay a monthly bill to their utility company, Colorado XXXXXXXX XXXX. When I spoke to a supervisor I was told that this often happens when a business conducts business in more than one category, such as XXXX XXXX I checked the XXXX website and saw that they primarily sold - utilities such as water, gas, and electric. I could not order clothes or groceries from the XXXX website as they did not offer that, like XXXX XXXX I was then told that the terms and conditions said that there are some guaranteed home utility companies, but that the " millions '' of others " may or may not '' count towards the additional reward. Ent 's policy seems to be-we don't know what reward you might receive, but get our card and maybe, you might just possibly could have the utility company that you have providing your home utilities count as home utility. But, and I am adding my own interpretation, we will decide and you'll find out after you paid your bill. If we don't want it to count, then it won't, too bad, so sorry, try something else and even if the merchant code is the correct one, we decide-logic, fairness, and basic common sense doesn't apply as XXXX determines what is a utility.

Complaint narrative:
I have become a wire transfer fraud on XX/XX/22 and happened to wire {$37000.00} and {$4000.00} to the fraudster account in XXXX XXXX XXXX  at XXXX ET from my local Chase bank in XXXX, XXXX Three hours later I rushed over to the bank again to stop the transactions and report the fraud at around XXXX ET upon finding out it was a fraud. My local chase bank assisted me in opening the claims and freezing all my accounts to prevent my money. I was told the Chase sent the XXXX recall request out to the recipient bank next day XX/XX/22 at XXXX pm ET. Since then nothing has been happening until today XX/XX/22 despite my continuous attempts to communicate with the Chase wire specialist team to stop further transactions. The Chase has been acting so passively in delayed manners just saying the recipient XXXX XXXX XXXX has not been responding towards their requests. I tried to communicate with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX myself since XX/XX/22, but they have been saying they only can communicate with my bank. It has been very frustrating that I have not been communicated/updated regarding such a timely sensitive matter while just blaming on each bank. The chase bank has told me my case may be closed since they dont hear anything from the recipient bank. I dont feel like my bank and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX have not been collaborating with me at all losing the golden time to resolve this matter. Please help me as this is an obvious fraud!

Company: TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The current student loan provider me and my husband are dealing with, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ( hhloans.com ), is not allowing us to pay ANY amount towards our principal balance until all interest has been paid in full. Our interest is currently sitting a little over {$3000.00}. What I am used to seeing, is that nearly all student loan providers will have a minimum amount that goes to interest and fees each month, and a portion that will go to principal, or at the very least, allow the borrower to pay EXTRA each month that goes to principal. 

Their own website details that they are open to having borrowers call in to arrange for payments to be collected in a different manner, and that they will make every effort to honor that requested change. We assumed this would mean allowing us to make extra and separate payments towards principal. They have made no effort to work with us or help. 

We have tried calling multiple times, and have talked to supervisors to try and start paying towards our principal in any amount, but each time they deny us and say every penny of interest must be paid first. All the while they have also told us verbally that our interest is building at a current rate of {$240.00} per month, while we have been paying {$430.00} per month. We have been paying for a year now, and have not even touched principal yet. We feel stuck in a debt trap with no viable way out except to make one large payment of {$3000.00} to rid ourselves of interest, just to get our heads above water. 

No other student loan provider I have ever dealt with has blocked me from making payments toward principal like this, and we feel this needs to be looked into further as this practice seems extremely predatory and anti-borrower.
