Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
A GB/pound transaction on XX/XX/XXXX, on XXXX, paid by via direct credit card but interfered by PayPal, in the amount of XXXX BG which at the time of transaction was XXXX XXXX but the actual charge to my credit card was XXXX XXXX thus some hidden fees were applied and charged to my account without clearly being stated. My attempt to solve the dispute with PayPal representative, XXXX XXXX ( as she presented herself ), and get the XXXX $ refunded to my account failed despite the obvious differences. PayPal representative continue to state the the exchange rate at that time was different from what I had at the time we had the discussions ( XX/XX/XXXX vs. XX/XX/XXXX, the actual day of transaction ) I think this XXXX $ are hidden fee and need to be clearly disclosed by PayPal when charging a person 's credit card.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I 'm hoping you can help me with an issue I am having with Citibank and how they keep causing me to go overdrawn.

To give you a bit of background - I moved to the US from the XXXX about 6 months ago, so I 'm presumably used to a smoother operating banking system.

Essentially - I am using my Citibank checking account as my main account here in the US. I pay through my card on XXXX, XXXX and in-store. From what I gather, the primary cause of the issue is that Citibank seem to take over 5 days to process any transaction. 

This means that when I am buying things online or in-store, Citibank are not actually processing the payment until much later. When they finally do this, they process all my payments at once and they keep sending me overdrawn, and charging me a {$34.00} transaction fee. 

I 've asked them many times to not do this. I never want to be taken overdrawn. If I do n't have enough money in my account to make a payment, I will just use another card / payment method. But, because Citi are so slow at processing payments they let everything build up and process it all at once so that they can claim to charge fee from me, rather than actually just telling me when I 'm making my purchase that it will be declined and I should use another card. 

All of these charges are below XX/XX/XXXX Monthly Service Fee {$12.00} XX/XX/XXXX Returned Check/NSF Fee {$34.00} XX/XX/XXXX Returned Check/NSF Fee {$34.00} XX/XX/XXXX Monthly Service Fee {$12.00} XX/XX/XXXX Returned Check/NSF Fee {$34.00} XX/XX/XXXX Returned Check/NSF Fee {$34.00} ( As a side, I do n't know why they are charging me a Monthly Service Fee, as I did n't sign up for this ) Your help is much appreciated Best, XXXX

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XXXX bought my mortgage from another company in XXXX this year. For 6 years I had not missed a payment but once my loan was transferred I 've had issues trying to give them my payments and set up auto payments, ranging from not knowing the account was ever bought by XXXX, to continual issues logging in to their site to pay ( even at this moment I get an error upon attempting to log in XXXX, to not being able to get through the automatic voice system, to incorrect auto payment set up and never hearing about it until my home went into default for a second time and credit agencies being notified - all this despite the home payment being well within my affordability. 

After 8 months, my first improper credit ding was said to have been submitted to credit agencies for correction, while at the same time, unknown to me, my auto draft was n't pulling from XXXX/XXXX/2017 to XXXX/XXXX/2017, so on XXXX I received a letter from XXXX stating that they were in foreclosure proceedings and that credit agencies had been notified again. The payment on this home in less than {$600.00}, which is less that 10 % of my monthly income and I 've never even had a credit card nor am I behind on any other sort of payment ... my ability to afford payments is NOT the issue, yet they have seriously impacted my credit score.

Company: ACS Education Services
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
EVERY year when we attempt to renew the IBR, the  paperwork gets lost or mishandled at Conduent ( ACS ). We spend hours re-submitting forms and making phone calls while the amount due which is greater than we can pay builds and shows overdue. The company eventually gets the IBR fixed, but forces us to additionally pay the overdue higher amounts, which is a real struggle for us.
Specifically, this year, we submitted the IBR requests via pdf email on XX/XX/XXXX and received a confirmation email onXX/XX/XXXX that showed they had received the IBR request and would contact us when processed. We heard nothing from the company until yesterday XX/XX/XXXX when our bill arrived showing no IBR at all. This happened for both my account and my wife 's, with the total payment due exceeding our combined monthly income. I called ACS and they apologized for not contacting us because " the pdf IBR application was cut off with only half the page visible. '' It is a PDF ... NOT A FAX and I confirmed that the image is complete. SERIOUSLY, what are the odds that two separate pdf docs ( one for me and one for my wife ), sent in separate emails were both " cut off ''???
Now they say we have to start over, re-applying for IBR, because the dates on the application are over 60 days. THE DATES WERE FINE EXCEPT THAT THEY DID NOT PROCESS THE ORIGINAL REQUEST OR CONTACT US THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
THIS OCCURS EVERY YEAR.

Once this was resolved over an hour phone conference with XXXX XXXX XXXX. # XXXX XXXX, our mutual client tried to pay this amount over the phone. We were told that XXXX XXXX can not accept payments over the phone and will only take certified funds to this short payoff. The client then followed the instructions and sent them via Fed Ex ( Tracking Number : XXXX XXXX the certified check in the amount of {$1100.00}. They stated that once this was received the account would be paid in full.

I received my XXXX XXXX credit card : XXXX, when I called to activate the card, I was informed by a Continental Finance Represenative that she couldnt activate my card because my new phone number wasnt listed on the account, and it was their policy if your old phone number changed and you didnt have your new phone number on the account when you first applied for the credit card, then you have to apply for the credit card again. Thats illegal. They also charged me finance fees for a credit card they wont activate and I cant use. Thats also unlawful.

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a new vehicle and terminated my lease with XXXX XXXX through a dealer pay off. The pay off amount was XXXX. After a while of driving my new car i noticed that the original lease with XXXX XXXXol was still showing as active. I called them in XXXX and was told that they see how the payment was applied wrong and they would fix it. I then received a bill from them in XXXX about the lease. I call them again and they inform me that they would be able to fix it as it was just a late fee because the payment was n't applied properly and they would also fix that to close out the lease. I totally forgot about it until XX/XX/XXXX when I receive a collections call because I now owe them XXXX. I spoke to a manager at this point by the name of XXXX XXXX who told me he would contact me within 24-72 hours. I received no phone call as of XX/XX/XXXX. At this time i decide to call back and see if I can get this issue resolved. I speak with a manager who seemed to be more interested in transferring me to an escalation manager by the name of XXXX. She was absolutely no help as she did not know how to fix the issue or anything. I then get transferred to XXXX XXXX who is with the office of the chair and still no resolution to the problem. I have asked for their NMLS number and was refused it. At this point I am at a total loss of what my next course of action should be. I have now had this on my credit report for one year negatively affecting my credit and it looks like there is no resolution to be had.
