  On 1/9/24, i contacted SST to ask the question of If i pay off my borrow and grow loan, how long will it take for my savings to be released and direct deposited into my account and the employee told me within 14 business days from when the payment clears. So i went ahead and paid it off and once it cleared my account, i called them back to give them my direct deposit information and at that time the employee told me 30 days. Obviously I was told wrong. I have now contacted SST three different times and I am continuously told the wrong thing. Last week the employee told me that my account was closed and I should be receiving my funds within the next 10 business days and when i called today they told me my account wasn’t even closed yet. I also told the employee I couldn’t understand what he was saying and he hung up the phone on me. All I want is the money that I am due to be deposited and I find it hard to believe that it takes 30 days for that process to happen.

  I am rejecting this response because:  I do not owe SST $1671.95 according to their letter sent to me statement date January 13, 2023 shows the remaining payments of $140 being applied that brought the

  build and grow plan savings acct down, please review.  In addition, the remaining $1667 savings account was never deposited into my PNC Bank Checking Acct, I am not obligated to continue for this savings

  and I can cancel at anytime.  I am facing a full financial hardship, I have enrolled in Americor (a consolidation company which has all my credit cards which I cannot continue to make payments avoiding 

  bankruptcy). I am a 74 year old USAF Veteran and on a fixed income.  I have also turned SST over to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for not complying to my January 13, 2023 cancellation letter

  over a build and grow plan savings account that I am no longer interested in and they continue to harass me in everyway, and SST needs to refund me the difference of the continued monthly payments of

  $140 being applied to the remainder of the $1667 build and grow plan savings account which I am no longer interested in having.  This $1667 was never deposited in my PNC Bank and I am not obligated to

  continue with this savings.  The next Inistitution I will turn SST will be FDIC or since I am in a very low fix income, I will have to turn this over to the Sacramento Courts and have my say to the Judge regarding

  SST's refusing to acknowledge my January 13, 2023 letter of cancellation.

  Today, 2/7/2023, I have sent an email to SeedFi:

  To Whom It May Concern:
  Dear Sirs,
  My name is James Gutierrez, I am a 74 year old USAF Veteran and on a fixed social security income.  I have signed a contract with your
  company for $2667.00 and I believe that $1000.00 that your company deposited into my PNC Bank account has been paid in full.  The 
  reason I am writing this letter to your attention is because I am facing a full financial hardship, to avoid filing Bankruptcy regarding my
  debts, I have signed up with Americor to handle my debts that I no longer can afford or survive on a monthly basis.  I always end up with
  a negative balance including NSF Charges in my PNC Bank account each month and I always have to find or borrow money to put my
  account back into a positive balance and unfortunately after paying utilities bills, car payment, insurance payment, doctor bills, I always end up in the
  negatives and this is why I have signed up with Americor to handle my debts so that I can survive on a monthly basis on a fixed income.  
  The more I have continuing negatives balances in my PNC Bank, they will of course close my Bank Account and this will cause a horrific situation with
  my social security.  I will be evicted from my senior apartment, my car will be repossesed, I will surely will have no place to stay or just 
  become homeless because of SST refuses to cancel my account as I am not interested in the remainder of the balance of $1667 savings
  account 40964108, I have sent them a Letter of Cancellation dated January 13, 2023 and it was effective this date and further future payments of
  $140 per month on a savings account will no longer be authorized, and they continue to persue to harass me with emails and text after this
  letter has been in their hands.  Just to let you know that I no longer have any interest in the Credit Builder Prime savings account as I am facing
  a full financial hardship.  I did not signed up with SST, I did of course signed up with SeedFi and I am pleading with you to please accept my
  cancellation.  I have filed a complaint on SST to their state Better Business Bureau and including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
  regarding SST refusal to accept my Letter of Cancellation dated January 13, 2023.  Your respond back is greatly appreciated.  Letter of Cancellation
  to SST is attached for your review.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  James Gutierrez

  I had a loan with ****** in their borrow and grow plan that was unfortunately transferred to SST on Dec 5, 2022. My account was actually paid off with ****** on November 28, 2022 but due to the transfer and my pay off check being forwarded to different addresses by ******, they did not mark it received until December 3, 2022. SST did not credit my account until Dec. 15, 2022 where I called and was told my account was paid off and I would be receiving my savings id $2507 in the form of a check in 10 days. I called SST on Dec. 22, 2022 to get a status on my check and was told that I still owed $31.92. After much argument and to move things along, I paid the additional $31.92. After this payment showed cleared on my account, I verified online and by phone that my account was paid off. SST verified my account was paid off but now it would take another 30 days to send me the $2507. Why? My account is fully paid off. Per the ****** agreement, I was to have access to these funds as soon as my account was paid off. So, 30 days have passed and I still do not have my funds. I did verify with ***** ***** **** that my funds were in the account and that ****** was managing the account. There is zero reason for it to take 30 days to pay someone considering today's banking technology. It will be sad to take legal action. Calling SST customer service is a joke. They cannot (or don't want) to help and when asking for a supervisor, there is never one available. Still waiting for a call back from a supervisor now for 2 weeks.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  My account was paid off in December 15 2022 per SST on a phone call on December 16, 2022. On January 24, 2023, called and asked why I have not received funds and was told my account was closed and should have my funds by the end of the week (Jan. 27,2023). I called twice on January 26, 2023 to ensure my funds were being sent. The first time, after telling the CSR what I was told, they hung up on me. I called back and was told that it would be 15 MORE days from the January 24, 2023 and there is nothing that can be done. I did call ***** ***** **** and they funds are there, waiting to be released. I found a different number shown on ************** website (************) and was told my account wasn't closed  until January 11, 2023 and it takes up to 15 days to process the funds back to me. However, since it was already over that time, the CSR stated they would have a supervisor contact me. It is now January 31, 2023. I do not have the money. I called the same number and talked to the same CSR who seemed surprised that I did not have my funds already. I have never received a letter or email stating when my account was closed nor if my money was on the way. I have never received a phone call from a supervisor even though I was told one would be calling me.  I need to know where my funds are and why I have not received them.

  On December 13, 2021 I opened a Loan. I paid the loan off on December 26, 2021. I contact customer service on December 28th to confirm when my saving balance of $1500 would be available to withdrawal. The rep indicated that they needed to wait for the money to clear from my account and then a check will be mailed in 30 days. When i set this account up that was not the agreement. I held up my end made the payments and even paid it off early. I would like the money sent by next week. I do not understand how a payment can process for 15 days. That is absurd. I was told nothing would change but this is not what was told to me when i agreed to this loan . I have now been told that this cant be processed without an account number and routing number. A check was never mailed and i will be waiting an additional 7-10 days. This is THEFT . I want my money now . I have been told misleading information so the company can hold my money longer and longer . I made payments in a timely manner but am not getting the money i put in . This seems borderline criminal the hoops I have to go through.

  This complaint is in regards to a personal loan that I originally took out through ****** which was always paid on time as agreed and has since been transferred to SST Service Systems Technologies Inc. loan number ********. While in SST’s care I have since paid the loan off in full on 1/10/23 the balance of 3,650.46 before I did this on 1/9/23 I also cancelled the automatic payments so another payment was not drafted on the due date of 1/10/23. Upon checking my account there was an automatic payment still being withdrawn after I canceled the automatic payments beforehand and also verified them being cancelled via a phone call with an SST representative. Part of the original loan agreement with ****** I would be given 1500.00 upon signing the loan agreement and another 2500 plus interest upon paying the loan off this money would be direct deposited to my checking account on file within 5-7 days. As of today 1/20/23 I have not received the 95.00 over payment that was drafted after canceling the auto payment or the 2500 plus interest and phone calls to this company have had no resolution to this I am being told that my savings cannot be transferred until my account is closed and my account cannot be closed due to the 95.00 overpayment which was requested to be refunded and was denied. I am being asked now to send a portion of my bank statement containing my personal information showing that I made both the 3650.46 payment and the 95.00 even though it shows that I made these payments on their website. After sending this email as requested I have received no response. I have also requested politely to speak to a supervisor many times which they refuse to do I was told one would call me which never happens.

  I paid off my loan about month ago after paying I called and was told that my check would be mailed to me. Today I called to follow up and the service person had no record of the conversation. Asked for my bank information and said it would be 15 more days to deposit the money to me. It has already been almost 4 weeks. I need this money now. Please resolve this immediately.
  
  Please note this account is paid in full. It was a ****** borrow and grow plan. I am owed $2000. Every time I call SST I am asked for bank account information and told something different about the lead time my money should be returned. Also everytime I call SST they have no record of my previous call.

  I opened a borrow and grow loan - where I received $1000up front and $2500 when it’s paid off. I paid off the loan and called to see what I needed to do to get my $2500. The first person told me I would have my money mailed to me within a week. I called back in 10 days and was told there is a fifteen day hold so I needed to wait another week. I called back in 2 weeks and as told it’s actually a 30 day hold. I called again at 30 days and was told it should be mailed any day now. I waited another week and called. This time I was told it’s direct deposit and they need my bank information. After giving my bank information I was told it’s a 15 day hold after request. She said she will make a note that I have called multiple times to request and been given wrong information- but it may be another 15 days. By that point - it will be 60 days since they were supposed to give me my money. I just want my money that they owe me

  *** ******* was set up on Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for her weekly payments of $47.34 until
  November 17, 2022, at which time EFT was cancelled as two or more payments were returned because
  of insufficient funds. NSF (Insufficient Funds) letters were sent to *** ******* to advise of the
  returned payments.
  SST tried to reach out to *** ******* on several occasions via phone, letters and text messages with
  no response from her.
  *** ******* claims SST contacted her from (**** ******** and a *** **** answered the phone and

  Originally took out a credit builder loan with ******, where once the account was paid off, the funds ($2,500) + interest were unlocked and I could withdraw the funds. At the beginning of December, ****** transferred the account to Systems & Services Technologies. Systems & Services told me that once the account was paid off, I would receive my savings portion within 30 days. The account was paid off on December 20th. Today marks 30 days if you count December 20th as the first day of the 30 days. I called them at the beginning of the week and they told me the check would still be in my mailbox by the 30 days from being paid off, although they still hadn’t closed out my account to send me the check. I’m still waiting for my money and there appears to be no update on their end.
