Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX - I sent {$250.00} to my son 's phone # using the embedded XXXX payment feature in the USBank app. XXXX then contacted my son, and because he was not a member of a XXXX partnered bank, instructed him to download and install the XXXX standalone app to initiate receipt of the funds. Which he immediately did, but despite several attempts, XXXX did not complete the transfer and he was not able to receive the funds. My son informed me about the problem, and I contacted XXXX customer service for an explanation. XXXX stated to me two reasons why my son was unable to receive the funds : 1 ) He did not bank with a XXXX partnered bank. 
2 ) He did not have a Fast Funds capable debit card. 

XXXX went on to state that without at least one of those features they would be unable to complete the transfer. But XXXX also assured me that if the funds weren't claimed by the recipient ( my son ), the money would be returned to me within 14 business days. 

XX/XX/XXXX - After over 2 months now, and despite the fact that my son was never able to claim the {$250.00}, the money has never been returned to my account. 

During that 2 month period I've contacted XXXX 3 times by phone, spent several hours on the phone with USBank customer service and visited to my local branch twice to speak to the manager and assistant manager about resolving the the issue. 

Numerous times during my contact with USBank I was assured the funds would be returned, was promised a provisional credit on several occasions, and even credit to be issued directly from the bank branch if necessary. To date, none of those has happened. 

USBank has ultimately told me that they've investigated the matter and determined the money was sent and received and that their obligation has been satisfied. But whenever I press them to provide me with the tracking documentation that shows the completed transfer, they go quiet with no response. No callbacks from customer service or the branch on that topic. 

The USBank assistant manager at my local branch made an interesting and telling comment to me during my visit the week of XX/XX/XXXX. He said that in the agreement that partnered financial institutions have with XXXX, it states that XXXX is not responsible for lost funds. That tells me that USBank is attempting cover up a flaw in their relationship with XXXX by having customers foot the bill for lost funds. And I think that is wrong! And probably illegal. Someone with the proper authority needs to look into this ASAP. 

As a consumer, I feel helpless on this matter. In my view, I was just robbed of {$250.00} by a bank. And with no recourse other than to end my long-standing relationship with USBank.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Over the last three years I had gone through financial hardship, and was struggling to keep my business afloat during from XX/XX/XXXX. I missed a few car loan payments because I had little to no income to pay down the vehicle loan. 

I took the necessary steps to get back on my feet and ended up resolving this financial hardship by closing down the business and gaining full-time employment as of XX/XX/XXXX. My salary is now six figures, which is more than double what I was making when I originally filed for the car loan in XXXX. The interest rate I'm currently paying today is way too high. Even though I requested a few times over the past two years to lower payments, the request was understandably denied by the loan company. 

This caused me to make more and more late payments and pay down whatever I could whenever I could afford to do so, including the additional late fees and penalties. In total - I was late on 14 payments over the last 4 years, however, have gotten back above water and am now in good standing with no threat to be late again. I might even be able to pay off the entire loan balance ahead of schedule.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This short sale was submitted 186 days ago as a COMPLETE packet with valid offer of {$580000.00} which is in comparison to the BPO. SPS 's  underwriting dept continues to ask for things they either have or do not need. Specifically they asked for a 2nd lien payoff statement, which I provided about 3 months ago. I was told they had an issue that it didn't include the property address, I explained it wont have the property address because it is attached to the borrower, not property as it is a credit card judgement lien. They then said that it would have to be remove from sale proceeds as they only pay mortgage liens, fine. I removed it. THREE MONTHS LATER underwriting is asking for a payoff statement again despite already resolving this. I have explained this to 11 people and they all understand at SPS ( customer service and supervisors ) they say they will send a message to underwriting to explain, they do yet UNDERWRITING continues to request non applicable payoffs BECAUSE THEY WONT PAY THE JUDGEMENT LIEN. This is just one of the many unnecessary delays this short sale file has endured.

Select Portfolio Servicing is foreclosing n my house on XX/XX/XXXX. I just received an Ordinance Violation for disrepair of the roof. SPS has held this money since XXXX hey have not worked out an amicable repayment on my mortgage. I am currently on unemployment and recovering from XXXX. 
With the original HAMP/HARP/their loan modification program, I submitted the paperwork in a timely manner. As they requested I called every two ( 2 ) weeks. I was told their was a " computer issue '' and they could not produce the documentation. Their ombudsman stated there was no computer issue. My mortgage went from $ XXXX to over {$700.00} then up to over {$900.00} per month including insurance. I wanted to obtain my own homeowners insurance but since SPS would not release the fund for the claims, no other insurance company would insure the house. I am being forced to move from my home by the end of XX/XX/XXXX. Due to my current health conditions this is virtually impossible and may put my life at risk.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was alerted that my Wells Fargo debit card had 2 transactions at a XXXX, one for {$700.00} and another for {$200.00}. These transactions were not me, were not authorized by my, and I had my card in my possession at the time. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Wells Fargo fraud division and filed a claim for fraudulent charges on my debit card. Wells Fargo canceled my current debit card at the time, sent me a new debit card, and credited my account for {$900.00}. They also mentioned the investigation of the fraud could take up to 10 business days and if anything else was found I would be notified. I assumed by the end of the month the 10 business days had passed and I was ok to spend the money credited back to my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Wells Fargo Claims assistance center stating that they have completed their research on my claims inquiry. This letter stated that " based on the information available to us, we found the charges were made by you or someone who had your permission. As a result, the {$900.00} temporarily credited to your account, will be deducted on XX/XX/XXXX. 

After this letter was received and the {$900.00} was deducted, resulting in a negative balance of over {$600.00} dollars, I called the Wells Fargo claims assistance center again. The person who answered the phone could only read the notes at hand stating that " based on the information available to us, we found the charges were made by you or someone who had your permission. '' I was persistent in stating that these charges were not made by me or anyone that I had authorized, and that my card had never left my possession. I was told that " the transaction indicated that the card was present for this transaction and there was nothing else they could do for me at this moment. 

My family has banked with Wells Fargo for many years and hold a mortgage with them as well. They have had fraud/ identity theft issues in the past and have had no issue when solving it. This is the first fraud issue I have had and they are telling me that the card was present and it was not. I feel as I am being treated like a criminal being told that it was me that made this transaction and that I am lying. 

In the mean time I am out of {$900.00}, asking family members to cover my negative balance and overdraft charge. Wells Fargo is saying there is nothing else they can do and the next step would be to file a police report. 

Please help.
