Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I went to Walmart in XXXX, NC to make an international XXXX transfer to XXXX in the amount of {$300.00} USD. I paid {$300.00} including the transfer fee. When the recipient went to pick up the money with their ID at XXXX services at a local Honduran bank, they were told that the sender needs to call and verify. The following day, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, The agent at Walmart called XXXX for me and was informed that the recipient must call to verify, not the sender. I then told the recipient to call and verify and after doing so, they said now please have the sender call again to verify. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I called again and was informed that no, I am verified, the sender is verified, but the XXXX agent in XXXX has to call on behalf of the recipient to verify. The recipient went back to the bank and spoke with a XXXX agent who insisted this is a mistake from the XXXX services on the XXXX side said the sender is the person that needs to call and verify. They absolutely refused to make any calls neither for the recipient nor to XXXX. I went back to Walmart where I made the initial transfer and the same Walmart associate who had helped me before called XXXX to inform them of this situation and request a refund. She was told that they will not release my money not even for a refund unless the Honduran XXXX agent calls them. She transferred the phone to me and after explaining it to them again, they told me if the bank does n't want to call then please have the recipient call, once again, to verify. 
XXXX has given me many different numbers to call that I, the recipient, and the XXXX Walmart associate have been calling to resolve this and keep getting the runaround. After calling these numbers numerous times about this situation, I no longer want to deal with their customer service. They are now holding my money indefinitely and will not release it even though both I and the sender have already been verified. I have used their service many times before and never had any issues.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX myself and my ex-wife took out a home equity loan at Suntrust Mortgage. This was a part of our purchase transaction on our at the time primary residence. This was a joint loan with myself and her. I was first borrower on the home equity loan. We got divorced in XX/XX/XXXX. Per our divorce decree she would keep the house and make all payments. Earlier this year XX/XX/XXXX, I had applied for credit to find out that the loan had be charged off by Suntrust Mortgage. I contacted Suntrust and they will not help me. I did not receive one phone call or one notice about the loan being late. I would have happily made the payment as it was only {$84.00} per month. I have had the same phone number for 20 years which they have on file and they also had my correct mailing address. It seems like with me being on this loan I should have received some type of notification about payments being late.So now my perfect credit has been ruined at no fault to my own and I can not get any help from Suntrust Mortgage. Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated as having a charged off mortgage loan on your credit report is a major thing and will effect me ever being able to buy a new home again.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I attended school at The XXXX XXXX of XXXX from late summer of XXXX until summer of XXXX. During that time I accrued over {$40000.00} in debt to attend one year of school. The application process through XXXX XXXX was ambiguous and non-informative. The only times of urgency for the loan were when it seemed like the deal was going to fall through. I was never explained the terms of the loan or how it could possibly effect my future, even with a cosigner. I was merely given a very large financial document to read. Being XXXX years old at the time, I feel as though some sort of council or assistance should have been given. Some aspect of coaching. I was instead urged on by the school financial officer to do whatever I could to get the loan. 

Fast forward to post year of school and there was absolutely no assistance in repayment. The only offer I was given was forbearance on the loan. I was never explained to that the interest would keep accruing, or if I was, it was quick and almost a side note so that I would n't catch it. The calling center was always outsourced to XXXX, I was rarely ever connected to a person that could fully understand me. I took advantage of my full 72 months of forbearance and then had to start paying things off. Again I was greeted with misinformation and no assistance on repayment. No IDR plan offerings, no refinance or anything. I could make interest only payments is what was offered. And that is where it sits today, I can make interest only payments or pay the full amount, which is only maybe a {$60.00} difference. 

I feel I was lied to, blindsided, and taken advantage of just so some junky for-profit school and loan company could make tens of thousands of dollars off of my youthful unknowing. I am now unable to afford a house for my family, I had to go back to school in a different career in order to even attempt to try and have a normal life and rack up even more debt. I currently have no way out other than to pay the payment in full every month in order to keep my credit score from tanking and to also avoid the consistent calls and pestering. 

Quick to collect money, stuck in a tar pit when it comes to helping.

They have gone as far as to call our relatives trying to collect. 
We already checked with the entity ( XXXX ) six months ago and they checked their records as well, saying we do n't owe. They also told us they never contracted PDM to collect this dept ... so why is PDM involved? How did they get this information?

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Stop closing this complaint as the company does not provide sufficient documentation of their claims. I ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE CARD VIA THE MOBILE APP. 

HOWEVER THE CARD DID NOT WORK WHEN I FIRST ATTEMPTED TO USE IT AND I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY SUSPECTED FRAUD. I WAS UNABLE TO EAT BREAKFAST THAT DAY AS THE APP TOLD ME IT WAS ACTIVATED ONLY IT NEVER WAS. 

I confirmed my identity as requested, even though I had already done that previously when applying and it should not have been approved nor supposedly activated if my identity was in question. WHEN CONFIRMING MY IDENTITY I ALSO CONFIRMED THE OFFER ON THE ACCOUNT WAS VALID. YOU CONTINUE TO LIE TO ME. 

Further, a reputable business would promptly inform the customer they were ineligible, not confirm they are eligible, then waiting until they meet the spending requirement, and then waiting again until they complain after months of not receiving the bonus.before then finally making up lies and telling them they were never eligible and in fact had been previously been informed ( A LIE ). 

THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CITIBANK SHOULD BE PROSECUTED. IT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF UDAP. 





I applied for an aadvantage gold credit card with citibank that advertised a promotional offer of XXXX bonus miles for spending {$750.00} within the first 3 months. I spent well over the required amount within the first month. More than 3 months later and I still have not received the bonus. When I contacted citibank I was told I had received the promotion previously and was not eligible. I have never had an aadvantage gold credit card before. I would like my bonus miles and an apology for false advertising.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX 2016, I received a call from XXXX about my son 's phone bill that was past due by XXXX. I had signed for the phone account. I gave them my sons girlfriends phone number to contact him since they had his phone shut off. I never heard another word from XXXX. I never knew it went unpaid. My son lives in Illinois and I in MS and we do n't talk a lot. I did not know anything about a collection until I checked my annual credit report a few weeks ago. They had my phone number, they could have called me back, they could have said we need you to pay or it will be sent to collection but none of this happened. I was living in Illinois at the time he got the phone trying to take care of him because he has a mental illness but was able to come home shortly after getting the phone account for him. I had my mail forwarded but never received a bill from XXXX. 
I have very good credit and have worked for many years to get it that way. There is no way I would ever let a bill go to collection. I feel like I have been wronged by XXXX. I would have been more than willing to pay the {$300.00} rather than ruin my credit I worked so many years to acquire.
