Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On about XXXX XXXX I ordered a XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, through Barclays Bank. 
I was accepted. Apparently the offer resulted from a cruise I bought. My troubles began when without permission, before I got a chance to pay my down payment my card was charged {$580.00}. I told the bank that I would rather pay with another credit card that had a lower interest rate. They denied me that opportunity. I filed an unauthorized claim with Barclays and they ignored until today that request and not even sent me a letter considering the unauthorized charges. I paid the unauthorized charges with another credit card whit a lower interest rate. 
I got sick of their rude customer service, and at times I felt that the XXXX XXXX line was answering, since they are colluded somehow with them, to the point that i was in disbelief of the offensive treatment towards me. 

My new set of troubles continued when around XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX, I tried to cancel my credit card. I called one afternoon around XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and all those times they told me that " the system was updating and they could not cancel my card '' .I was told to call next day.. At the XXXX call, I asked for a supervisor, and was on hold for about 33 minutes, but one never came on the line. Next day I started calling from the morning and each time the question came up : " what is the reason you want to cancel your card or close it '' I told them that I would pay my cruise with another card, cash or debit. ( the remaining balance of the cruise ). They felt offended and kept telling me that " their system was updating '' and " can not close the account right now ''. This went on for another three clerks that I called. Every one of those clerks hesitated or did not want to transfer me to a supervisor until finally one came on the line by the name XXXX? XXXX? and told me the same story of the system updating updating. I asked her if I could close the account via fax, and finally she said, after all this harassment, she would close it. It took many hours of precious time, arguments for a simple transaction. I got sick to my stomach with this customer service treatment. My account was paid and up to date and even got a {$19.00} refund in over payment. Please find a way to fine or sanction this company.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I live in XXXX Florida and live in a county that was declared a federal disaster area with Hurricane Irma. I got evacuated and was living in a shelter. I lost work and got behind on many of my bills, including rent and car payment. I have a MasterCard with Capital One and last XXXX, I filed a complaint against them with the CFPB, because theyunlike my other creditorswould not defer a payment for the month of XXXX. Only after receiving my complaint t with the CFPB, did Capital One contact me and say they would defer XXXX payment. 

I am still having financial problems related to the Hurricane, because getting behind on your other bills often results in extra fees. I mistakenly did not pay my XXXX bill with Capital One, becaus I thought my account was incorrect t when I checked it online and did not have the deferred payment figured into my account. I thought the online record was a mistake and that the XXXX payment was not due, because my account was on deferment. Apparently, I was in error because of all the confusion on my account. 

So, I now find out that I really owe two months payment, rather than one. And if I dont pay my bill by Thur, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I will be reported to the credit bureau as being 30 days late. The problem is, I can not make the payment until the following day ( Friday ), when I get paid.

I talked to the Supervisor at Capital One and asked if they could defer reporting me to the credit bureau if I pay two months worth of payments as due, on Friday instead because of the mixup and my financial difficulties due to the hurricane. They said NO. They will not help me at all. 

I am trying to keep my credit history good because I need to purchase a car and this will harm it severely. 

I am asking for the CFPB to step in and prevent them from reporting to the credit bureau because of paying one day later than the payment is due.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello. My name is XXXX. I can give you my full name after your company contacts me. I want someone to call me tomorrow. My cell phone number is ( XXXX ) -XXXX-XXXX. I have been pursuing my fight against Wells-Fargo for over six years-forced car insurance. This is due to fraudulence committed by Wells-Fargo starting in XXXX. My XXXX was repossessed and should not have been. After my car was repossessed in XXXX-one year later I contacted the CFPB and your company did absolutely nothing for me and at that time there were over XXXX other complaints as well? What was the CFPB doing at that time regarding so many complaints from customers? Were you guys out to lunch? Was everyone on vacation at the CFPB? After my complaint to the CFPB I received a letter from the CFPB-your company was my last hope and nothing was accomplished? I was informed you felt there was not enough of evidence of fraudulence on my part-against Wells-Fargo? That same year there were other scandals against-Wells-Fargo and they got caught. Who decided at the CFPB-my case and 1,800 or more cases did n't mean anything or have any merit? I want to know the names of the people at the CFPB who denied me back then in XXXX and every other complaint I made since then? Nothing has been accomplished-with your company to help a consumer who has been denied, cheated and rightfully reimbursed by Wells-Fargo? What I do n't understand is how the CFPB can let Wells-Fargo get away with fraud and the level of fraud is at 100 percent? Please contact me.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
I initially received a graduate student loan through XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The loan was then sold to XXXX XXXX and then to Navient. During the Obama administration when the student forgiveness programs were being introduced, I inquired by phone as to whether my current loans were eligible for the program or if I needed to make changes since I was working for a non-profit. I was told on more than one occasion that I did not need to make any changes to my account and that they would be eligible for the forgiveness program provided that I continued to work for non-profits. I have worked for non-profits since XX/XX/XXXX. I began submitted the required documents from my previous employers in XX/XX/XXXX as I was preparing for a career change. At that time I was informed that my loans being serviced through Navient were not eligible for the repayment program. I contacted Navient and was again told that these loans were eligible for the program. I attempted to appeal the decision and was reached by phone where I was informed that these loans are not in fact eligible. I have since changed providers to XXXX, however, I have six years of work at XXXX that will not receive credit towards the student loan repayment programs.
