Consumer complaint: I was very upset to find out that when my promotion ended and my remaining balance went to my contract rate, the additional payment that I made shortly after my statement closed all went to the lowest rate on my account at that time. The rep at Elan Card Services explained that it was due to me still being at a 0 % when the payment was made. The payment was indeed applied that way, however, the XXXX was not still in effect when I made the payment and I was charged for a full 30 days of interest on the part of my balance at the highest rate. They are forcing their customers to pay at least 1 full statement cycle of interest regardless of the amount paid during that cycle. They did take care of my account but, I do n't want them to get away with this with other customers that are not in the financial world and therefore do n't have full understanding of the payment allocation laws put into place with the CARD Act.

Consumer complaint: Hello, Back in XXXX we began the process to modify our 2nd mortgage. We had a balloon payment that was coming due in XXXX and unfortunately we were unable to refinance due to diminished property value. When we began the process we were ASSURED and then REASSURED this would NOT affect our credit and only then did we proceed with a modification. We pride ourselves in our good credit and have never missed nor been late on payment. 
The modification was eventually approved. Yesterday ( XXXX ) while being provided with the details of our new loan, I was told this would affect our credit severely. Even though the first payment was not due until XXXX this would be considered 90 days delinquent and reported as such. I offered to make the first XXXX payments in advance ; again I was told there was nothing they could do. The representatives acknowledged multiple times that the account was current and that her system reflects a perfect payment history yet there was nothing she could do. She indicated that SLS has 'most likely ' already reported to the bureaus. I 'm writing to request regulatory assistance. As I understand. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Reasonable cause inaccurate '' meaning having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations ( ie documented payment history ) by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of the information. Based on this, SLS is in direct violation of FCRA and needs to be held accountable for this fraudulent and unfair practice.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received in the mail a notice from Penn Credit Corporate, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX for a delinquent bill. I live in XXXX and never lived nor visit XXXX Demanding {$45.00}. For a public service bill. For my previous address. However I did not have a XXXX account. If I did I would have assistance due to low income. I did not receive a bill from XXXX itself. I would never be negligent paying my bills. This is very upsetting. Therefore, I think it 's a scam ... Thanks

Consumer complaint: I attempted to add my friend as an authorized user to my Barclays XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/2016. My account was placed in a limited mode with absolutely no warning or notice given to me on XXXX/XXXX/16. I am unable to make any purchases. I called Barclaycard XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16 and spoke to the front line CSR. She informed me that they had requested certain information from me and it was not received. She stated that the request for information was sent yesterday ( XXXX/XXXX/16 ). I received no such request, and no requests at all. I decided i did not want to deal with card shutdowns on my own account, so I asked to withdraw the request to add an authorized user to my account. The front line CSR stated that this was impossible now that the notation was on my account requesting information. I then stated that I wanted to cancel my account. I was told i could not cancel my account. I asked to speak to a supervisor. XXXX, the supervisor, restated the same inforamation that the front line CSR had stated. It 's impossible for me to fathom that I can not close my own credit card account. I have paid off the entire balance on my card, maintained a very positive relationship, and have never had a late payment.

Consumer complaint: I have been trying to clean my credit report up. I have XXXX things on my report that are over 7 yrs old and experian deleted the main XXXX. On my report DHS CS has put my child support on XXXX. I disputed it and it should be removed because its over XXXX yrs old. But they allowed XXXX to change the date and make it a XXXX date open which makes no sense. I also found out by National collections that in XXXXthat they notified all XXXX major credit agencies that fines and arrest warrants were to be taken off. They are still on there and there 's more that that. XXXX is now adding inquiries on my report from XXXX. An investigation by your office should be done by ur office. Also, on my reports is a school loan from XXXX and that is over 7 yrs old and should be removed as well. When I asked the lady at XXXX if they verified information put on the report her answer was " we have no way of knowing if the information is valid or not. '' I have XXXX items knocked off and XXXX more ready to be knocked of and XXXX, XXXX reports that should be. Now they are adding inquiries that were not on there before? There are also many inquiries not initiated approved by me and they refuse to take them off. Please investigate my credit with all XXXX major credit agencies.

Consumer complaint: I got invalid interest charges every month although I made full last statement 's balances by the due dates. I have been charges interest since XXXX to XXXX and I contacted customer service many times via email, messages, phones but Citi kept saying it 's valid charges and gave me no more explanation. I still make full payments except the invalid interest charges until the issue is resolved. Customer service specialists were not helpful and they always told me to do sth to avoid charges, but I followed and still be charges appr {$65.00} each month just for interest on zero balance.

Consumer complaint: I am a military member who is mandated to use the CitiBank Government Travel Card GTC. I received a tasking to XXXX from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, with XXXX trips from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. 

Being on a XXXX, it is common practice to be placed on a " XXXX '' ( see attached policy letter ) for the GTC so that the servicemember can focus on accomplishing the mission and not about billing issues. Additionally, it is a mechanism by which the government was able to provide some relief to the cardholder to provide them adequate time to perform a XXXX mission and address billing discrepancies. Between the several vouchers I filed after the TDY trips, and between payments being applied and transactions posting, I had made what I thought was a payment for the entire balance, which would have brought my account to {$0.00}. 

Unfortunately that had n't been the case. I believe my being in XXXX, in one way or another, affected my ability to receive any notification that my account was past due. No emails were received, no mail was sent to my home address, and no phone calls were ever made to either me or my unit. It was not until late XXXX that I called CitiBank in order to ensure I was authorized charges in a foreign currency so that I could purchase my airfare to my home airport. Lo and behold my card was cancelled, I was assessed XXXX {$29.00} late fees ( in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). Additionally I was informed I was also assessed a {$80.00} " salary offset fee '' in order to have the original balance ( around {$150.00} ) and the assessed fees ( {$160.00} ), bringing the total to approximately {$170.00} ... or about 210 % of the original balance. 

I had contacted CitiBank to advise them of the situation. I informed them that I was XXXX and that I had never been notified, nor had my military chain of command been notified ( a mandatory procedure that either was n't done or was done incorrectly ) about a balance being due, the balance becoming delinquent, and subsequently the card being cancelled. Had I knew there was a balance I would have immediately paid it. Additionally, I advised them I should have been on mission critical status as to suspend payments/delinquency for much of my XXXX and had I been placed on that status I would not have been delinquent. 

CitiBank was unwilling to work with me to correct the issue. I feel they took advantage of a servicemember and did not make a good faith attempt to resolve the breakdown in communication. The GTC program, in my opinion, puts an undue burden of accounting on the servicemember when he or she should really be focused on accomplishing the mission.

Consumer complaint: I applied for the card and was approved, however shortly after that my account was shut-down by the verification department and they requested I supply XXXX, copy of social security card, and state ID. I furnished those documents. The reps at the department re-opened my account however that was after the 90 days of account opening which I was not able to earn the XXXX bonus points offer. I meet the purchase requirements and I would the bank to steps in understanding the situation and correct this.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I mistakenly mailed a check to USAA credit card XXXX. The check was for {$2500.00} and was made out to XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I realized I had maybe made an error and had sent the check to USAA. I called USAA credit card services and was told that they had not received the check and would not cash a check not made to them. On XXXX XXXX, I called my checking account bank, XXXX and was told the check had been cashed. After going to XXXX I received a print of the front and back of the check and surely enough it had been cashed by USAA on XXXX XXXX, although I had a credit due from the USAA credit card of over {$100.00}. On XXXX XXXX, after calling USAA, I was told that they could not issue me a refund until I called them back in 10 days. The reason given was that they had to made sure the check was valid since it came from an external source, although I had a copy of the cancelled check in my hand. I was also told that they could wire the money to the bank that day, XXXX XXXX, but I would need to pay them 3 % of the amount wired. 
On XXXX XXXX, thinking that I had made a clerical error in my check book, I had issued XXXX XXXX XXXX another check for for {$2500.00}. Now, USAA could not return the check for another 10 days or more but could immediately wire the money at considerable cost to me. 
Translated that means pay USAA {$77.00} and they will wire the money immediately or call USAA in 10 days and they will mail me a refund whenever. 
I had to borrow money from my son to cover the second {$2500.00} check until my husband arrived from his work the following day to issue me another check for the same amount. 
I am very unhappy with USAA and will be cancelling the credit card as soon as my money is refunded. I hope I have described the situation clearly. Thanks for any help.

Consumer complaint: I overdrafted my account at the ATM in order to pay a bill but immediately deposited cash back into the ATM in order to bring my account back over XXXX dollars in positive balance. SunTrust 's policy is to waive overdraft fees if they are covered in the same day. The next morning I woke up to see that SunTrust had charged me XXXX dollars in overdraft fees in order to bring my account overdrafted again. As I already deposited all my cash into the ATM, I ca n't do anything to bring the account back into the positive. When I called and talked to multiple supervisors and managers, they said they would lower the fee by XXXX dollars as a once-per-year courtesy but they could n't do anything else. They said if I deposited money into the ATM literally " minutes '' earlier I would have been charged nothing. I find this to be extremely predatory and a trap to keep me in debt so that they can keep racking up their exorbitant overdraft fees. As a new customer who recently joined SunTrust and linked my direct deposits with their bank account, I feel I have been treated deceptively and dishonestly.

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX a complete modification package was sent to SPS. ( see attached ) A confirming email was received ( see attached ) The homeowner had a sale date set for XX/XX/XXXX.Our office called SPS and spoke to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and she stated the docs were received and they will be sent to processing. ( pull the call as they are recorded ) On XXXX we called SPS and spoke to XXXX XXXX who stated the docs are being reviewed. ( pull the call as they are recorded ) The sale date of XXXX was postponed until XX/XX/XXXX.Our office continued to call weekly for updates on the review. Every week we were told the file is being reviewed. On XX/XX/XXXX we called SPS and spoke with XXXX XXXX who stated the file was denied, but no denial letter was sent.On XX/XX/XXXX we called SPS and spoke to " member of management : XXXX XXXX ID XXXX. We told her no denial letter was ever sent yet we have correspondence from them that the docs were indeed sent in for review. That we have all call logs and records ( see attached ) from every employee we spoke to weekly with regards to the review. She reviewed the file and stated she sees where we spoke to the employees but that NO REVIEW WAS EVER OPENED as there was a sale date on XX/XX/XXXX. She contradicted what EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE STATED. She continued to repeat " there was a sale date on XX/XX/XXXX we could n't review the file. '' Once the sale date was postponed what was the excuse? She than stated it had to be in review 37 days before the sale date. THE SALE DATE WAS POSTPONED, WE HAVE CORRESPONDANCE FROM SPS VIA EMAIL AND WE HAVE DOCUMENTED CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THEIR EMPLOYESS TELLING US THE FILE WAS IN REVIEW. We informed her of all that information and she continued to make excuses. She then stated that XXXX did not move the " file forward. '' SPS records the calls!!! They need to review all calls dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX when we spoke with XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX when we spoke to XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX when we spoke to XXXX XXXX and then XXXX XXXX.For this to happen to a file is unacceptable. This file slipped through the cracks. At this time we are demanding the sale date be postponed or we will move forward with legalaction naming SPS as a defendant in a civil suit.Mr. XXXX has had issues after issues with SPS and it is apparent that they have neglected this file. Furthermore they have discriminated against XXXX XXXX based on his race, ethnicity, national origin, language, sex, and marital status. It is very obvious that SPS would rather foreclosure on the home than assist the homeowner. Lastly, there is an open dispute with their institution from XX/XX/XXXX that has NOT BEEN resolved, yet they are still trying to sell the home. That further proves their intention regarding the home as well as discrimination against the homeowner.

Consumer complaint: I have a US Bank secured credit card with a {$1000.00} credit limit. That is the amount of the deposit I made with US Bank to get the card. While I have had credit issues in the past because of the economic collapse I have recovered from those issues. I have not had a delinquent payment for over 5 years now. All the issues on my credit report are old. 
When I took out the secured card I understood that I could add money to my account at anytime thereby increasing my credit limit. 
Recently I decided to add funds to that account, I contacted US Bank and was told that I could not add funds to that account to increase the credit limit until the account had been open for 6 months. That in order to make that deposit I would have to send a cashiers check, along with information regarding my annual salary and my request would be subject to a them pulling a credit report ( causing an inquiry and affecting my credit score ). I was not informed that I could not increase the credit limit by making a deposit to my account for 6 months or that a deposit to my secured account causing an increase in my credit limit was subject to approval of my credit report and income. 
This is a secured account, there is no risk to US Bank, if I do n't pay the card they have the account to collect from. My increasing the deposit to the account does not increase their risk in any way. 
Makes no sense why I would need to wait 6 months or why I would need a new credit and income check
