Company: COMMUNITY CHOICE FINANCIAL, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX 2017. I applied for a payday loan with Cash Central Community Choice financial. I was turned down, I do not even believe they submitted anything, they are Using correct information you applied on the Online computer system. It does not even seem to be correct. all this information is transmitted into a computer system to be used later, and it may hurt and it may hurt a person severely. I can see these people using it for that purpose. they do not intend to give anyone a loan they are just getting all the information up they can to hurt someone later on. they mere intentions are to be on your credit score for publicity Only. No intentions of giving any one a loan just like previous company does. I did not want to apply online but they said they information was secured and it would be alright. I have been turned down for so many payday loans here in XXXX tennessee. I am wondering are they using someone else information so they could have reasons to not approve my case. so I can get a loan. It is just ridiculous that these companies are doing this to people. the one 's who need it the most can not even apply. and get a loan through any of these companies anymore. I think they are using not verified information and turning all of Us down for no reasons at all.

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to open a credit card with XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. When I did not receive my credit card in XXXX, I called them to ask why it had not been received. I was informed that someone had changed the name and address on the card and was using the card. I immediately told them that this was an act of fraud and it was not me. I was sent in circles for months filing complaints and filling out documents all simply saying that the credit card was never received and i never charged anything to the card. I continuously told them to cancel the card that by credit report was reflecting a delinquent account that was n't even me! They never closed the account, the account continues to accrue late fees, and they even sent me a credit card, sent to my correct address- WITH THE FRAUDULENT NAME in XXXX XXXX! My credit report has been getting hit since this whole process began, and they are absolutely impossible to work with. In XXXX, I was told to provide them with a police report and affidavit attesting to the fraud. I did all they requested, and received a response saying that the " investigation '' they conducted concluded that the account belongs to me. I call the company and am constantly rerouted and asked to provide additional documentation and fill out additional forms, and I have done so to no avail. I simply do n't know what else to do, I have never encountered such gross incompetence.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 2016 my wife was mobilized from XXXX status to XXXX then XXXX overseas. 
We filed the appropriate paperwork with XXXX to invoke the Servicemen 's Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) for this loan. The mortgage payment prior to SCRA was : - ( P & I ) = {$770.00} - Escrow = {$260.00} -  TOTAL = {$1000.00} After SCRA was invoked the payment was : - ( P & I ) = {$770.00} XXXX Escrow = {$240.00} - Buy down ( SCRA ) = XXXX - TOTAL = {$900.00} XXXX incorrectly lowered the Escrow payment and, in violation of Federal law, kept the amount of interest paid to the bank at the 7.78 % rate. 
The lowering of the Escrow payment has now caused a huge Escrow shortage. 
XXXX, a manager at XXXX, has documented my grievance. I believe this is not the only SCRA loan that has been incorrectly modified to collect funds boosting the banks profits and harming the service member.
