Consumer complaint received 2020-03-12
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: AZ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I received an offer from Chase that came with a number of blank checks. The offer 's terms indicated that there is a 0 % APR through the billing cycle that ends on XX/XX/XXXX. I cashed what Chase refers to as an access check ( adds to the credit card balance ) on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. I also continued to use the card for various other purchases, but paid those charges in full within a day or two of making the purchase, leaving only a portion of the {$1500.00} as a balance. I checked my statement, only to find out that they had charged {$9.00} in interest. When I called them to dispute the interest charge, they reversed that charge, but indicated that going forward, if the balance isn't paid in full, interest would once again be charged. 

Their explanation for this doesn't make any sense to a reasonable human and is horribly misleading. They state on the back of the offer : " If you take this offer and do not pay off your entire balance each month ( including the promotional balance that you add by using this offer ) you will lose the interest free period. This means that you will being paying interest on all new purchases, even if you pay your purchase balance in full each month ''. 

There are two serious issues with this approach : 1 ) How  am I paying interest on all " new purchases '', when the purchase balance is paid in full each month? The answer is that I am not paying interest on new purchases, I am paying interest on the promotional balance because that is all that remains on the account. The notification does not make that clear and is seriously deceptive. 

2 ) There is clearly no 0 % interest rate offer for a year, since according to the offer language : " If you not pay off your entire balance each month ( including the promotional balance that you add by using this offer ) you will lose the interest free period. So, the offer goes away if you don't pay the balance in full each month including the promotional balance. How is this interest free for a year? 

At the end of the day, what they really mean is that the 0 % offer only works if you don't use the card for any other purpose after you have accepted the offer, whether you pay those charges immediately or not. Had they made that clear, I would have used another card to pay for my purchases to keep the 0 % interest rate intact.

Since th e Buyer was gett ing a loan, the Buyer could not close escrow in 4 days. Our Broker then immediately sent all documents to Select Portfolio Servicing on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , via fax supplied b y SPS ( Select Portfolio S ervicing ). The  Broker followe d up on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , to assure all short sale documents were received, however,  SPS stated they had given the Broker the wrong fax number and supplied a new fax for short sale. SPS also stated that they have used previous servicers short sale approval letters to expedite a written approval from SPS to the listing Bro  ker. Ag ain, our Broker sent the complete short sale package to  SPS , along with a copy of the   XXXX   XXXX   short sale approval letter. On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , our Broker was told by  SPS tha t a conditional approval was issued based on a  Broker Price Opinion v aluation that was ordered and should be completed shortly. on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , our Broker was told a written short sale approval letter would be issued no later than  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Our Broker has called SPS every 2 days since  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , with no approval, and now SPS states it could be another 30 days based on " investor guidelines. '' A representative from  SPS  stated she did n't see a HUD closing statement this past Monday  XXXX  which was sent in with all documents prior ), and suggested the Broker forward another copy " just in case. '' Today,  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , the  Broker foll owed up again and was told by the Relationship  Manager on the file that since a new document ( HUD )  was logged as received today, " investor guidelines '' gives SPS  another 30 days before they have to issue a written short sale approval letter to sell and transfer our property. The Broker is in fear of losing the Buyer now, and we as the Borrower/Sellers are l eft with further months of default/negative reporting to our credit record. Our  Broker has lo gged dates, names, and notes of every conversation with SPS from  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , to present.  SPS rep resentatives not familiar with the file have continued to mis-read notes and request documents that were all sent previously numerous times. I highly suggest and request that the CFPB audit both procedures and business practices of SPS, at least with regard to short sale processing. Thank you!
