Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
On XX/XX/20, XXXX XXXX  issued a check on my behalf for a credit card balance transfer to Citi Card ( XXXX, KY ). The associated account number, and intended bank to receive the payment was XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/20, Citi Card deposited this check despite having no relevant account associated with my name or for that matter any account with the account number shown on the check from XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/20 XXXX XXXX advised that I should contact Citi and have them return the payment. They forwarded a copy of the cashed check. Upon calling Citi, they refused to take any action since it was not associated with any account I held or could they find any record of it and advised that I have XXXX XXXX  stop payment. 
I had XXXX XXXX stop payment around XX/XX/20. I was advised by a XXXX XXXX Credit Card service supervisor that it would likely take up to 2 weeks for a response. Further, when I asked what happened after that if it remained unresolved, I was advised that the bank would be able to follow up directly with Citi. 

On XX/XX/20, after allowing more than the recommended 2 weeks to pass and seeing no activity, I contacted XXXX XXXX  for an update. This time, I was advised that I needed to have Citi return the money. Thus putting me back in the loop of no action and having to continue to pay for a {$4900.00} check issued to the wrong bank and fraudulently cashed by the receiving bank who now refuses to take any follow-up action. 

Neither XXXX XXXX or Citi wants to address the resolution and each bank has profited by {$4900.00} one through a fraudulent acceptance of the check and one through failing to retrieve a disputed payment.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX we started a home improvement project with Lowe 's. This project included granite counter tops in kitchen and baths, sinks and plumbing to complete counters. Since these items are large purchases, we were recommenced by salesperson for me and my wife to each have an amount to cover balance after we paid some down with cash. My wife has opened an XXXX  account and was approved for {$6000.00}. I was approved for an XXXX  card for {$6000.00} in order to complete the purchase. We regarded these accounts as regular credit accounts with interest on the balance. We did not receive enough explanation from the sales staff at Lowe 's did not realize these accounts were " promotional '' and there would be a balloon payment added to the balance when it expired in 2 years. As senior citizens, we would not have agreed to these terms in this aggressive sales pitch if it was understood. 
Since XXXX we have both been making monthly on-time payments on each account. In XX/XX/XXXX a balloon interest payment of over {$4000.00} was added to my account and over {$2800.00} to wife 's account. These actions have significantly increased each monthly payment. The balances show " over limit '' because of these added charges. We dispute how these interest charges have been applied. We dispute that these accounts were agreed by us for " promotional '' terms. We want these accounts to be reviewed and re-written. We will continue to make regular monthly payments as we have done previously.

State: CA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Title loan
Issue: Vehicle was repossessed or sold the vehicle

Complaint:
I applied in 2012, after recently paying my original car loan off. I received less than {$2000.00}. I paid every month. Until onr day I woke up and my car was n't in my driveway. After calling the police. I was told that it was repoed. I tried many many many times to contact this company. Only one time was able to speak to someone. I was n't given any info other than being screamed at. I was told to pay the total amount due. Almost 8 thousand dollars. I has no idea what to do. I was devastated. I let my car go. Here I am almost 6 years later. I have rebuilt my credit and I diligently been working on building credit. Obviously I noticed the company was in my report. I tried to dispute these charges. They are saying it is still open. Showing month after month late payments. I have not from day one of them taking my car have received a letter. I 've had the same phone number for 15 years. I also have the same mailing address. The amount the are claiming is wrong. I paid every month. Unfourtantlytly for myself I paid via cashiers check. I do n't have access to them. I do n't understand how they are making claims of any amount they want and it 's on my credit. I got this loan for a very minimal amount. I got this loan so that my credit was n't checked. I knew then that I had prior debt from years prior. I was never taught the importance of credit. I have taught myself along with my children over the last 6 years. In almost finally debt free. I have worked so hard to recover from bad lessons. Now that I am trying to build credit. I cant because this company is reporting so many things that are fraudulent. Can someone explain how the do n't check credit, take your car, and then make up any amount they want and them report it to your credit. I need help. I want to be a home owner. I actually would like to rent a home for that matter. This is crazy. I 'm almost homeless and ca n't do anything because they obviously can do whatever they want. I never signed anything with any type of disclosure of their ability to make claims of amounts of any dollar amount. Nor did I receive a final notice or interest rates.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
I opened a US Bank Business Cash credit card when opening my business checking account. I was shown a pamphlet outlining all the various credit cards the bank has and was asked to pick which one best fit my needs. The credit card I picked had a bonus offer of {$500.00} statement credit after {$4500.00} spend. I asked the banker if I would get the bonus and was assured that I would. This is the standard new card member bonus that is advertised on all US bank credit card material. This material can be found in branch, on the website, on social media. It's literally advertised on every piece of promotional material I've seen about this card. 

Upon meeting the minimum required spending I waited for the statement to close. When the welcome offer was not awarded I called the bank to inquire about the issue, this is when I was informed that this offer was not linked to my account. I asked the bank to please resolve this matter, and was instructed to send in copies of the offer I received and cited during the application process. I faxed those in to card member service and received a latter today XX/XX/30 that they are unable to add the offer due to applying in branch. I spoke with my banker and they escalated the issue up the chain, but I assume this is why I have received this letter. This is not a targeted or special invitation offer, this is the standard welcome offer that is advertised everywhere. 

I have been a US Bank customer for quite some time and have 2 other credit cards open with the bank. Both of those cards were opened in branch with a banker and both of them have had the same type offers advertised. I had no trouble getting the previous welcome bonuses, so I do not understand the issue now.

Complaint:
Dear Escalation Management Team ; See the attachment. It's impossible that this account was ever trufthfully verified. DELETE please, it's a ghost account. 

Im still extremely concerned about the way this account is still reporting on my credit profile. Its impossible that your agency truthfully verified this account below because as you can see on the screenshot, there are several inconsistencies in the way this account is reporting between Experian and XXXX. Its my understanding that the account needs to report 100 % accurate, 100 % timely, and 100 % verifiable. Not only this account passed the statutory mark of reporting base on the date of last activity, but the inconsistencies between the 2  credit bureau is by far incorrect, and incomplete. As you can see, the DATE OF LAST ACTIVE for Experian is XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX shows XX/XX/XXXX. There is 4 years apart and also the payment history shows different than the actual DATE OF LAST PAYMENT of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect, and its a ghost account. It must be deleted from my credit report as its illegally re-aging my credit. 

Again, I demand that this account from XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX  be deleted from my credit report immediately and I want a new credit report sending to me reflecting the deletion. THANK YOU!

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I am having an issue with https XXXX XXXX. This is the listed web address for checking pending payments. I have paid two payments in both XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I paid {$70.00} twice on XX/XX/XXXX. I made three payments in XXXX ( two were to pay the minimum due {$50.00} XX/XX/XXXX & {$23.00} XX/XX/XXXX. This satisfied my monthly amount due ). I did this because I went onto the web address above and looked for my Payment Status/History and saw No Pending Payments available. Therefore, I went ahead and made sure XXXX was taken care of. On XX/XX/XXXX another payment was debited from my bank account in the amount of {$110.00}, which I had apparently authorized but I was unable to see on their website. I called customer service to try and rectify this problem and was told there is absolutely nothing they can do. They can't move the {$110.00} I paid on XX/XX/XXXX to my XXXX bill ( which I found out I also had two pending payments for, both unable to be viewed via the website from above ). I feel this is an intentional issue on the part of the Bank ( not being able to see pending payments ) and it has caused multiple payments to be issued for  months that had already had a payment made. I was told I have to dispute this charge through my bank. Why is this burden on the consumer? I have done my due diligence by making sure I am not late on payments, yet the Bank can provide whatever information they want to provide and omit information to consumers that help them budget their money. Needless to say it is XXXXtime and I would really like my money back ...

On XXXX I submitted a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like im being taken advantage of and ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that the failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those accounts from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be removed immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My information was also impacted by the XX/XX/XXXX data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.
