Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I provided the XXXX app with my Bank of America banking login information for the purposes of earning reward points based upon their monitoring of my credit card charges at specific merchants. I made several purchases at XX/XX/XXXX which was one of my selected retailers which initially tracked and I earned points from ( XXXX points per dollar spent at XX/XX/XXXX ). Recently my purchases have stopped tracking. However, the issue is that I redeemed XXXX points for a {$20.00} XXXX gift card which I have yet to receive after one week ( FAQs state payouts will be made within 3 days ). I 've submitted multiple inquires to XXXXXXXXXXXX and it seems they will not pay out saying my account has been flagged for my safety. Their responses are generic and not informative. If there was an issue with my transactions, Bank of America would advise me and it is not XXXX XXXX job to do so. XXXX is simply there to monitor transactions to provide rewards. If they do not pay out what I rightfully earned, they are a scam and need to be shut down immediately seeing how their business involves gathering consumer 's bank account login information and monitoring financial activity. Per their terms and conditions on the day I signed up and when I redeemed my gift card, all was done in accordance and I am completely eligible for my award redemption.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan — Fraudulent loan
Company: KEYCORP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2004, I arrived at XXXX XXXX as a new incoming freshman. As part of our orientation, we were herded into a meeting with Key Bank and financial aid to sign master promissory notes. It was presented to us as being perfectly normal, and my father ( who is the responsible party here, I was XXXX at the time ) took them at their word as well. <P/>Following this first semeester, I was later told by financial aid that there was no point in even filing a FAFSA, as my father 's income ( in excess of $ 120k ) basically disqualified me from any aid at all anyway. This unfortunately included federal loans, so all of my expenses were instead put on private loans from Key. <P/>After my second year, this suddenly stopped. I was refused additional loans, and I later learned that Key Bank was selling off my existing debt and may be folding entirely. I instead had to get private loans through XXXX XXXX, now serviced by XXXX. The original Key Loans are now handled by XXXX XXXX, while my scattered federal loans ( regained near the end of my XXXX and also accumulated during XXXX XXXX ) were consolidated and now serviced by XXXX. <P/>
Now here 's my problem : Each of these three loan servicers basically says, " You can reasonably afford this much payment. '' And they 're correct. However, all three of them say this, and all three do not care that I am basically being asked to pay 3x what they all agree is reasonable. <P/>This is directly due to two factors which I wish to lodge a complaint about : 1 ) I was presented with no options as an incoming freshman. I was not appropriately counseled by the financial aid office, and my guardian responsible for me neglected his responsibility to diligently follow up on this. By the time I was no longer a dependent and learned to handle these matters for myself, it was too late. Everything was already in motion and even correcting the problem ( borrowing correctly moving forward ) led to this final configuration. <P/>2 ) Due to the disgustingly protective rules governing student loans, I seemingly have no rights to manage this debt. I 'm not even asking that the debt be erased due to the incredibly shady way Key Bank secured the business of a good chunk of my incoming class ( I can only assume they paid for the privilege of being present during orientation to prey on the new, unaware students and parents ... ),  though that would be really nice. I just want to be able to consolidate this debt with my federal loans to get them into a single account with a single servicer with a reasonable interest rate. I WANT to pay this debt back, but I need the tools to manage it, afforded to every other class of debt, but to which student loans seem to be the sole exception.

The statement closing/billing cycle closed 10 days later and they billed me an additional {$55.00} for interest that apparently accrued during that billing cycle.

Complaint narrative:
TITLE MAX ( Company complaint is against ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Office # XXXX XXXX : TITLE LOAN ACCT. # XXXX To whom it may concern : My name is XXXX XXXX and I currently have an account that is in default with Title Max. They wish to settle the matter by payment of principal {$2500.00} plus compunded interest, which will be issued towards closing the account, and all further matters that relate to monies owed, whether principal or interest, and interest of ownership in the title and motor vehicle used to secure the loan. I understand that they are attempting to claim mostly principal with some interest, and maybe even some filing fees and document preparation. However, I recently spent time in XXXX XXXX and noticed that all their interest rates where no more than 7 % for the same motor vehicle title loans. I looked into the California Loan Usury laws, which brings the 14 % interest into question that my agreement with Title Max has set for an interest rate. I was unaware of the Law as the agreement only detailed a following : California Finance Lenders Law Div. 9 sec.2, and sec. 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. Under California interest rate laws and Usury laws set the Legal Maximum Rate of Interest Loan/forbearance of any money, goods, or things in action, or accounts after demand-7 % or contract rate ( Cal.Const. XV 1 ) contract rate shall not exceed 12 % ( Cal.Civil Code 1916-1 ). Penalty for Usury ( Unlawful Interest Rate ) Contract or agreement for greater than 12 % shall be null and void as to any agreement to pay interest ( Civil Code 1916-2 ) ; debtor may recover treble amount paid ; willful violation-guilty of loan-sharking, a felony and punishable by imprisonment in state prison for not more than 5 yrs. or county jail for not more than 1 yr. ( Cal.Civil Code 1916-3 ). Interest Rates on Judgments set by legislature at not over 10 % rate ; in absence of setting of such rate, rate of interest is 7 % ( Const. Art. XV 1 ). I believe that this loan agreement should be viod due to the unlawful amounts set within the agreement, that violate Claifornia Interest Rate Laws and California Usury Laws. These type loan have been ruled in Nevada Courts as null & void, with Title Max being ordered to repay the borrowers. I feel this is a simular situation that need to be looked into and addressed. <P/>Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA, XXXX email : XXXXXXXXXXXX Phine : (  XXXX ) XXXX

" Ad Adstra '' has been reporting an account in collections on my credit report. I have now sent two validation requests to this company, to the address listed on statements they keep sending, asking them to validate the original creditor, amount, payment history, fees/interest etc. as this account I did not recognize. I specifically wanted to see loan agreements or anything bearing my signature, as I have had several accounts opened by my ex-husband without my knowledge.The first validation request was sent on XXXX XXXX, 2017, with no reply. The second, and most recent request for validation attached to this complaint was sent XX/XX/2017. The company sent another statement with a partial response on X/XX/17, however, they have failed to provide me a copy of the loan agreement, original balance, or anything bearing my signature that substantiates I am responsible for this account. Having my SSN, Drivers license number, and birthdate was n't the validation I requested, as I know anybody could obtain and provide that without my consent. As they are reporting on my credit report, they have the legal responsibility to validate upon request an account in question, and have failed to provide me with the documentation necessary for me to actually validate and/or dispute this account.
