State: SC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have been trying since XXXX XXXX to get Bank of America to sort out the complete mess they have made with my Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ). 
Account # XXXX was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and I have been making all the regular payments by transferring money on my BofA dashboard from my personal account to the HELOC account. 
It appears that at the end of XX/XX/XXXX, the bank changed the account number to XXXX without any notice to me. My HELOC account was still on my dashboard and I continued making every monthly payment through to and including XX/XX/XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX i tried making my usual payment, but the option had been removed from my dashboard. 
After many phone calls it turned out that the account had been handed over for collection for non payment, despite all my payments made in full and on time. These payments had not been applied to my account and were somewhere floating in some sort of suspense. 
After multiple, multiple, multiple calls and emails over several months they eventually apologized for their error, correctly allocated these " Unapplied Funds '' to the account and stated that they would have ALL negative comments posted on the credit reports removed, that the account was current and in good standing. 
Not all the negative comments were removed " Account information disputed by consumer '' still remained on all the agencies. I spent most of yesterday getting these comments removed - something that the bank should have done. 
Checking my reports, I saw that the comments had been removed, BUT XXXX  was showing that I had XXXX HELOC accounts with BofA - XXXX showing negative aspects ( Past Due ) and the other " Current '' no past dues. THERE IS ONLY XXXX account. 
The bank has been unbelievably slow to get things done - stating that it was complicated - and thoroughly inept at getting this mess, that they created, totally fixed. 
Due to their extreme incompetence I have been denied a re-finance on my mortgage SOLELY because it appears that I have XXXX HELOC accounts with BofA. This has cost me thousands in wasted time XXXX multiple phone calls, multiple emails ) trying to get them to fix their mess, the cost of not been able to re-finance and reduce my mortgage payments by {$230.00} per month, which for 360 months amounts to {$83000.00}, to say nothing of all the emotional stress that this has caused

Complaint:
I have previous XXXX  Loans that are in the process of being dismissed due to me not having a Highschool diploma at the time of me getting my student loans ( Ability to Benefit ) I had 3 Sub & Unsub loans through XXXX XXXX which switched to XXXX. Each Loan had 11 Late Payments which totaled 33 Late Payments across the board. 

I was informed to consolidate the loans since they were being investigated, I informed the bureaus that the loans where not reporting correctly and XXXX  has deleted the closed out account while XXXX & Equifax has not followed suit.

Since everything on my report should be reporting accurately how is it that a account can be deleted by one company and not another. I demand that XXXX  AND EQUIFAX FOLLOW SUIT AND DELETE ANY CLOSED XXXX  ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT FILE

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I am a New York resident and on XX/XX/21 I purchased {$70000.00} worth of XXXX coins, totaling XXXX coins. When I tried to sell the coins on XX/XX/21, I noticed that I was restricted to view only and the buy/ sell option had disappeared. It said that trading wasnt available in my region. After doing some research, I saw that XXXX isn't available to be traded in New York. Again, less than 24hours I had the ability to purchase the coins, and now I had that ability taken away from me. I even tried to withdraw/ transfer the XXXX funds to another exchange or wallet but each time, I was given an error message - try again later. Right away I emailed support and alerted them to the issues and since Ive only received generic/automated replies stating the companys FAQS. I have also filed a complaint and have received no resolution. It has now been 10 days and I can do nothing but watch the funds deplete. They refuse to refund the transaction. This clearly seems to have been an error on their part. It doesnt make sense that I was given the ability to purchase and now I am unable to manage those funds in anyway. I have since withdrawn all other available funds from Coinbase and will close the account once this issue is resolved.

Company: Synovus Bank
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I applied for a secured credit card with XXXX XXXX Credit Card issued by Synovus Bank, XXXX, GA, member FDIC. The card was secured by a deposit of XXXX that was deducted from my checking account that same day. On XX/XX/XXXX I checked the status of my credit card. The website listed my deposit as pending and the credit card issuer had yet to receive or accept my deposit. I found this strange as the deposit was taken out of my account on the XXXX. I called the number that was very difficult to find and after speaking to 3 different people who all asked me for the same exact information and proceeded to transfer me to XXXX who supposedly needed to verify my personal information once more before my card could be approved. After verifying my information once more XXXX informed me that my deposit was accepted and my card was approved but I would need to call back in 24 -48 hours to confirm. I found this process odd and asked XXXX why did I the customer need to call back in order to finalize approval? XXXX told me that was the process and that was standard procedure. At this point I accepted what he said but asked for a supervisor. XXXX repeated that my card was approved and just to call back in two days. I told him the entire process seemed odd for a bank and that I was simply uncomfortable with the entire process. He repeated that I had been approved and to call back in 24-48 hours. I asked him for his full name which he seemed reluctant to give me. At this point my instincts told me something is no right but I ended the call. A few minutes later I called the same number again in hopes of getting through to a supervisor. Now that same number only keeps you on a continuous loop and you can not get to a real person. I tried calling the parent bank multiple times and waited on hold for 45 minutes before hanging up. What kind of bank operates like this? I then did something I should have done initially and researched the card and the bank. I found that this credit card issuer is very shady and there are many lawsuits in it's history. I made one last attempt to call the original ; number i was able to initially get through on and was only able to get a continuous loop and am unable to speak to a live person. The number I called was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The website of this company is XXXX XXXX XXXX I wish to file a complaint and seek to recover my deposit of XXXX immediately. The business practices of this credit card issuer seem to be a type stalling tactic in order to keep your money as long a possible. These people should not be in business!

State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
My card ending with XXXX got the fraud for a cell phone refill to charge {$550.00} on XX/XX/2021 and I disputed this to Citi Bank on XXXX XXXX.Customer service told me this account is been closed and I don't need to pay the balance. 

In the meantime, nobody tells me what is the next step or what will happen therefore I didn't cancel my auto-pay settings. Citi bank run auto pay to this account on XX/XX/2021, for {$800.00} and result in my checking account overdraft with a fee of {$34.00} per day. 

I called customer service, they transferred me to 3 different departments and all said to have to wait more days and only credit me back the fraud amount. NO solution. 

I understand the investigation takes time but they can not charge me first and hurt me again. We use a credit card is for protect my money not lost money. 

In my understanding, this kind of fraud transaction should behold until the investigation is complete. Not push customers to pay first and credit back. And also, follow-up is important with simply call, text and email to let customers know what they may expect on.

I haven't received a response from ( EXPERIAN ) in over 30 days. They are reporting inaccurate information on my report. ( LATE PAYMENTS ) XXXX  and XXXX WERE UNABLE TO VERIFY THESE ACCOUNTS AND REMOVED THE LATE PAYMENTS. EXPERIAN IS THE ONLY BUREAU REPORTING INACCURACY. 

You are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. The credit report you provided shows a history of payment or payments being made late that are not proven and are incorrect. I demand that you -- as REQUIRED BY MY STATES LAWS and also by the FEDERAL LAWS that govern your behavior while dealing with consumer reports to include your RECEIPT and or your REPORTING of them, to fully document in testimony to every single one even each any and or all of the facts related to this allegation withstanding none.

I have contacted the creditor and they have stated that they are unable at this time to document these payment irregularities, by omission the creditor is in direct violation of the FCRA-tort law example : Fields v. Wilber Law Firm, Donald L. Wilber and Kenneth Wilber, USCA-02-C-0072, 7th Circuit Court, Sept. 2004. I demand that you take action to correct your errors. I request that you provide me with written documentation of how and what means you used to verify these payments.

Under the terms of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) I am exercising my rights and formally request that you provide a COMPLETE amended copy of my credit report when your investigation is completed for my records showing that these late payments have been removed.

If not physically irrefutable you are not authorized to retain or report these allegations so annul in brief today even right now or certificate that your testimony proves compliance and accuracy of every and one even each any and all OF THE data aspects. I demand that you return to or retain compliance as mandated and do so without injury AND or prejudices towards me now or thereafter
