My account at ********************** Bank has been suspended for more than 4 months. I have contacted customer service by phone and they are not helping me at all. They are suspending $5,970 of my money. This is causing me a lot of problems because I pay a lot of bills and living expenses every month. Now I am in debt to my friends and family because of the suspension of these funds and I cannot get my money.Business Response

I did business with ***************************. The advisors name is ******** *****. I am trying to work with a reputable company to consolidate all loans and credit cards. However, Mr. ***** secured a loan for me with a company named SoFi. SoFi then sold my loan to *************** who then sold it to another company, which I have not been made aware of until today, when I spoke with ******* at SoFi. I am simply looking for original documents from SoFi showing that my loan originated with them so I can get my consolidation completed. There doesn't seem to be anyone that will provide me with the SoFi Truth in Lending statement that I need. How is it that this company can do this? It seems illegal that they can keep selling off my information without my knowledge.Business Response

I had an student loan in the original amount of ~******. After paying ~******, I refinanced it in the same institution (SoFi), but the new loan is again at ~****** and no records of payments are done. I tried contact with SoFi multiple times and they ask for:1- Contact Mohela to get additional information (I already got all required documents and send to SoFi)2- Send an e-mail that I would get an answer back in 7 business days (I already tried it twice)After trying to solve over phone / e-mail multiple times for the last 3 months, I just need help figuring out what happened. No excuses that it depends on Mohela again!Business Response

I had opened an account with ********************** and I deposited my money into this account I then transferred ****** to one other of my accounts on 2/17 and they held it for almost 2 months, when I finally got them to agree to just sent it back since they did not want to accept it they did send it back to Sofi well Sofi told me I was not intitled to my own money and has now locked me out of my accounts. I can't even see my history of transactions! I fear that I may have some fraud attack and they have done nothing to return my money to meBusiness Response

Applied for loan, sent them a ton of documents. Got text, email, message that loan was approved. Went to sign paperwork and loan was actually declined. Emails regarding loan approval continued into the next day. Seems as if the company is phishing, and not legit.Business Response

- My account was lost when it was transferred from MOHELA to Sofi (it transferred under my maiden name, old address, old phone number, etc. despite me having updated that information timely each time there was a change)- When I finally regained access to my account within **********************, I applied for a skip-a-pay on 2/25, because although my account was impossible to find, it was still incurring costs. - The skip-a-pay continued to pend for over 20 days, so I called into Sofi on 3/13. I was advised that Sofi internally did not complete the request correctly and it was rejected. I was advised since the skip-a-pay was not processed, I should apply for a short-term payment relief instead since that would help me better bring my account current. I immediately applied for this. - I followed up on the repayment plan several times, and then on 3/25 the skip-a-pay was miraculously approved instead of the repayment plan. - I called in and worked with a supervisor to fix this back to the payment relief and two weeks later Im being told that is not possible. Sofi has made mistake after mistake on my account since Feb. I have spent 3 hours on the phone trying to fix this and no one is taking care with my account to look into what took place and fix it.Business Response

Sofi is making me wait WEEKS for a simple dispute with a well known fraudulent company that placed a charge on my checking account. I sent them all the documents they needed, I make follow up calls and they lost my documents I sent them. I told them to credit my account with the purchasing power of the fraud charge and they refuse. They said they have no way to escalate my dispute case. This is outrageousBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: SoFi knew days before after many conversations with multiply agents that I In NO Way knew anything about the transaction or the person I was supposedly sending money too.The daily gave me a roller coaster emotional ride stating not to worry it's handled to we need to freeze account to I needed to give them time for dispute process but not to worry since I DID NOT Authorize transaction it would not be allowed then to them turn around & pay it telling me I didn't have a dispute filed until Friday the 11th of April when first contact was Monday & Tuesday had several conversations with them . The put transaction they knew was Fraud & after that I get email saying they would not be giving my money back because They determined They did nothing wrong This is after only 2 weeks of my SSDI Direct Deposit & their site claims Money is Insured We believe in Helping our clients & they are there for the clients & keeping their finances in a safe place. How can they give my money to something they knew was wrong & I had nothing to do with it & state They did Nothing Wrong .My SSDI is all I have & every month is a struggle to survive with Cost of Living impossible for a single disabled 66 yr old to take care of the minimum bare necessities. They Has to be someone to help the little ********** citizens from the big Money Companies that don't look at Us as respectable once hard working contributing citizens please help me get the justice I deserve Thank You

I am rejecting this response because: I believe there was No Reason for SoFi to give my money to a transaction that for several days prior were alerted that I Did Not Authorize nor participate in the transaction. I was told my money was safe & protected with SoFi. I do not understand how they could pay out on a transaction I had No part in & they knew this at least 3 days before they paid it out I have suffered late fees & I am still trying to catch up after losing the money meant to survive & pay my bills. I 100% know it was SoFi's responsibility. Thank You ***** *******
