Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a home in 2022 with a 4 % interest rate and was told that my monthly mortgage ( with taxes and insurance in escrow ) would be {$3000.00}. 

It is now $ XXXX/month ; a 10 % increase. 

My property taxes went up $ XXXX. and insurance is about the same. When I called Wells Fargo they said that I had an escrow shortage and then hung up on me. 

A {$3400.00} a month payment is very different than one that is about $ XXXX. Wells Fargo did the underwriting and the escrow analysis. I would have made a different choice if I knew my mortgage would have been {$3400.00}.

Complaint narrative:
On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed Chime to tell them that when I tried to transfer {$10000.00} ( the total balance ) out of my Chime checking account to a XXXX XXXX, I was unable to do so. I received an error that said I needed to activate my debit card to do so. I requested a debit card, received it, activated it, confirmed the activation, and was still unable to transfer money out. I emailed Chime a subsequent ten times asking why this was. I sent them screenshots of my app showing that the XXXX account I tried to transfer money to was successfully linked, but that it would not show as an option when I tried to transfer money. I believe this is Chime 's way of preventing customers from leaving their bank, as their email replies were full of unhelpful remarks such as " I know how important for you to know that information ''.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Denied loan
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Myself and my husband have been trying to consolidate and refinance the student loans my daughter has with Discover ( I am the co-borrower ). The goal is to lower the interest rate and payments. 

Earlier this month, my daughter was approved to consolidate her loans- however the interest rate offered was at the max. We applied to be co-borrowers to lower the rate and were denied. " Income is insufficient & Delinquent credit obligations. '' We reviewed our credit reports and have XXXX accounts coded as adverse from more than 3 years ago. One payment missed. Accounts are either current or have been paid off. We have pages of " Satisfactory '' accounts- including all student loan accounts. 

Current debt includes student loans $ XXXX which we are trying to refinance. 

Our credit scores are great ( XXXX ) and income is $ XXXX. 

We complained to Discover about their unfair credit decision and they were unable to assist. They referred us to the credit agencies. There are no actual lenders- only the automate credit model they use. 

Discover 's underwriting criteria in their model is extremely unreasonable and unfair to graduates ( and their co-borrowers ) who are trying to manage finances. They are unwilling to work with consumers. 

It is extremely disheartening that very large financial institutions that make oodles of money can't have fair lending practices that help consumers.
