Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Just wanted to provide some feedback in terms of my frustrating service calls with CITI. I tried to pay for my school tuition on XXXX XX/XX/2023, however it was flagged by fraud team. That's great, awesome protection. I then responded to text to allow purchase and tried to reprocess, but to no avail. I then called in to have restrictions removed. I called in and verified my account via my cell phone number. We dropped from call and she called me back with no issues. I spent close to 30 minutes working with them CITI associate to try reprocessing over and over. She finally said try again in an hour. She also had me clear cache in browser, which I knew wouldn't work but appeased her anyway. I then tried on my cell phone instead of a browser and same outcome. So I finally just paid for school with another credit card. Problem solved until the morning of XXXX XX/XX/2023 when I signed into CITI XXXX app and it said I needed to call in for support. I called in and couldn't verify my identity. I talked with an account supervisor and she the only way left to verify my account would be letter sent to my house. Unfortunately, I can't wait 3 days because I have a college student across the country needing to utilize the card for books, food, etc. Verification by mail in 2023 is assinine. I called in again and same thing. They also wanted to verify with my home landline. One again this is 2023. Several people said that I would be called back, but I have yet to hear anything. I then tried to file a complaint. You can't send an email. You can go through chat bot. You have to send in a letter! Are you serious ... in 2023? This is the poorest customer service that I have ever experienced. There is literally no way for me to verify my own identity. Time after time all they did was try to get me off the phone. I asked for my call to be escalated. I asked to talk to a manager or a VP, but they all told me to wait on letter. That is just unacceptable. So basically, due to no fault of mine own, I've been locked out of my account with no possible way for me, my wife or daughter to use our card. I think all recordings should be reviewed. CITI has no interest in providing customer service to their loyal customers.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I was solicited by MOHELA to convert from a low interest student loan ( that I was happy with ) to a direct loan and apply for temporary PSLF waiver as I had completed over 10 years full-time employment at a 501 ( c ) 3 nonprofit employer. 

I went through the necessary actions to verify my qualifications for this and if this was done before XX/XX/2022 I would have my loans forgiven through this temporary PSLF waiver. 

However, after appropriately submitting this information in XX/XX/2022 and having employer sign off, MOHELA did not inform me of a processing error on their part despite multiple attempts by phone, emails, and online communication regarding processing timeline. 

They ( MOHELA ) even advised me to switch to a much more financially burdensome IDR repayment plan under the premise that this would expedite my PSLF approval. I would not have signed up for this plan otherwise. 

Now, after once again contacting MOHELA for assistance and re-processing paperwork with new PSLF application, I have received notification that I do not qualify for complete PSLF. 

They ( MOHELA ) have essentially performed a bait and switch from a student loan payment plan and company at a locked-in, low interest rate ( that I was very happy with ) to now paying a higher interest rate and higher monthly repayment from false advertising. MOHELA has been negligently misleading, unprofessional, and with poor customer service for which they should be held to account.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the delinquency reported by Synchrony Bank to my XXXX. A hacker charged {$7000.00} in merchandise to a Belk credit card issued to me. Belks bank, Synchrony, charged me {$1900.00} of the loss. After I refused to pay for these charges because I had not bought any items on my account, they created a new credit card in my name without my permission, added the debt to that new credit account, and then went after my credit report. I had no access to the newly created account. This represents an attempt by Synchrony Bank to extort money from me by threatening to ruin my credit rating. Furthermore, the amount in the account grows each month as they charge fees and interest. As of XX/XX/2023 the amount billed has increased to {$2300.00}. Synchrony is weaponizing my credit report by attacking my credit rating. They never showed me how they came up with the {$1900.00} amount in the first place. I am not resposiible for the hack ; none othe purchases were mine.

Company: EdFinancial Services
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
These loans are from attending University from XXXX. First serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX then transferred to EDFinancial around XX/XX/XXXX. While serviced by XXXX XXXX in XXXX, on a leave from college I had applied for deferment when the loans began payment due to being a less than part time XXXX. During the time the application was being processed and eventually approved, I was being penalized for several 90-120 days late payments. This still affects my credit report to this day. I believe these negative marks should be removed from my credit report. Secondly, in XX/XX/XXXX my loans were transferred again to XXXX after applying for PSLF. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been attempting to get EDFinancial to report my loans transferred and closed to the credit bureaus. I have been successful with XXXX student loans. I have included letters and spoken with representatives to no avail. I have suffered the consequences of derogatory credit reporting that is simply incorrect.
