Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MN
Product: Credit card
Issue: Other

Complaint:
I am a long-time holder of a Chase Premier Visa Signature credit card which provides Southwest Rapid Rewards based on charges made. I work out-of-town and use the card frequently. At least once a week I pay all charges, including pending charges, online. This has worked well for years. Recently when checking my credit card account online I noticed a " credit balance refund '' in the amount of {$430.00}. I called to learn what this was and was adivsed it was a refund for a payment in advance of charges hitting my account. I explained the charges were shown on the account as pending and that this had never happened before. I was further told that the refund had been made by paper check and sent to my address of record. I asked that the check be cancelled and the refund credited to the account for which there were open charges in excess of the credit amount. I further explained I was working out of state for an extended period of time. I was told this could not be done. I then asked why the refund was not made electronically since that is how all my payments are made and was told a paper check in the mail was more secure than an electronic payment. Of course, this is not true. Again, I explained that I am working out of state and do n't know when I will next be able to get the check. I was told it is good for 90 days and can then be reissued. I asked why this change in practice had been made and was told it was a requirement of Southwest Airlines. Of course this is not true ; the card is from Chase which offers the Southwest rewards as an incentive to use their card. Having gained no saisfaction by phone, I personally visited a Chase banker in the state in which i am working. He reviewed the situation and did not understand it either. He called the Chase credit card department and was told the same incorrect information as I had been. He talked to his manager and we decided to ask that Chase reissue the check and send it to me in care of the local Chase branch. Chase Visa refused to do so. The banker and I came to the conclusion this new practice had been adopted in an effort to increase interest income on accounts. Most people would not check their account and notice the stealth refund which then becomes a balance due on the account for which interest could be charged. I never carry a balance long enough to owe interest, so this is a clever way to try and cause interest to be due. The answers that checks in the mail are more secure than electronic payments and that Southwest Airlines required this banking practice are demonstrative of the deception the bank is engaged in. i am asking the CFPB to work to change this deceptive practice by Chase.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX, an XXXX XXXX, cold knocked on our door selling premium solar panels and installation in Virginia. They indicated they had a relationship with a financial institution, Dividend, which was providing a significantly lower APR than any other institution for the project. We we able to get " pre-approved '' for the loan the day the XXXX company representative was here, however, the " pre-approval '' was actually the loan application. Following the loan application, XXXX was paid following the initial installation of the panels, not completion of the project -- which would require a working system. The loan amount was {$97000.00}. This was paid directly from Dividend to XXXX. During a call with an XXXX representative in XXXX XXXX  it was disclosed that XXXX had direct access to my loan information from Dividend through a " portal ''. In the same month I contacted Dividend and inquired as to why they would pay the contractor prior to the completion of the project as this has now placed the consumer in a bad position of the contractor having no incentive to complete the project and they stated that their position is to pay the XXXX " upon installation of the solar panels. '' This payment then initiates the loan repayment process upon which the consumer has 60 days to begin payment on the loan. Our panels were installed in early XX/XX/2023 and our loan is due XX/XX/2023 and we do not have a working solar system because the contractor has not yet completed the project. This does not make any sense and it seems to the outside eye that Dividend and XXXX may be colluding to create an untenable situation for consumers.

Complaint:
Ally Bank is reporting a 30 day late payment on my account and it is showing up as different dates on different credit bureaus. Example, XXXX  shows the 30 day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX shows the 30 day late payment as XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX shows a 60 day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX. This account has been closed for several years and was always paid as agreed, never late. The discrepancy is obviously because this account was NEVER late and needs to be removed immediately. 
This incorrect information is being reported on all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ). 
I have tried to resolve this with each of the bureaus as well as with Ally Bank and it keeps showing up on my credit reports incorrectly reported.
