Complaint:
I have an credit with XXXX XXXX bank which has been charged off. Because I am having hardship I am now receiving help from a company which helps consolidate my debt. They have been making the agreed payments on time each month however it is still being reported that I am delinquent every month which is affecting my credit score. I was told by a representative when I called XXXX credit card department that I have to pay my full balance in order for them to stop reporting to the credit bureau that I am delinquent. This is wrong if I expressed that I am having a financial hardship and the program which is helping me is making timely payments. This is a form of bullying in order to get me to pay the full balance which I am not financially able to pay at this time.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX ... keeps reporting a balance of {$27000.00} as of XX/XX/2018 on the auto loan that was paid in full to them years ago. At the time of the sale of the vehicle I was told that a total of {$24000.00} was recovered and no money was due from me ... Now I come to find out they reported a balance on my credit report.. I attempted to contact XXXX who sent me 2 letters back to back ( computer generated response very simply ) stating they validated this debt and contract was sent to me which was a lie. Now all of a sudden I started to receive calls from them at XXXX and XXXX on daily basis as an " attempt to collect debt '' and threatening to arrest me for an unpaid balance or send a sheriff to my employment ... This is ridiculous and should not be a legal practice for collection of the amount that is not owned in first place ...

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early

Complaint:
I had a lease with Ally Financial for a XXXX XXXX XXXX vehicle in which I have had leases with the organization before. I paid every payment. Though paid on time, there were some late fees applied because it was still after their grace period. I ask the company if the will remove ( waive ) all late fees applied as I have been a loyal customer. Also, I have had other vehicles with the organization with perfect paying history and never asked this before. Also, every lease that I have, I've returned the cars in with approximately 9 or 10,000 miles unused miles that I paid for on my lease. I returned the vehicle in immaculant condition always having it serviced with XXXX and having it once again serviced before the lease termination. Again, I asked if they will dismiss those fees as a loyalty courtesy. I even informed them, that I was getting another lease and would request for Ally as I would continue to do business with them. Well, today, I receive an alert from the credit bureaus with my credit scores decreased saying Ally has added a remarked to the credit bureaus saying-Full termination, balance owing. Now, I am extremely upset because I have had a descent rapport with this company, great paying history, paying the lease out and for them to report that remark damaging my credit, I am extremely upset and want that immediately removed. The company should have been reporting Full termination, obligation satisfied. How could they do this to a loyal customer and Ally did not even contact me prior to doing this. I just recieved this alert from the credit bureaus and I was floored. Also, I requested for Ally to finance my next vehicle and the company XXXX went through XXXX, which I was shocked and also extremely upset because they did not do what I requested which was to continue to do business with Ally. I have correspondences in regards to this to show I did make that request. I could be incorrect but this made me feel that this is why they did not remove the charges as I was told they would. Also, I am sure the company records the conversation between the customer and the represenatives as I called several times in regards to this matter. I ask them to go back to the last recorded call as the represenative inforrmed me that he would submit this request because I have been a loyal customer and the fees would be waived in 24 to 48 hours, he even thank me for being such a loyal customer. Ally is reporting Ally is showing a balance owed of {$260.00} on XXXX   and reporting Full termination, balance owing on XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint:
My office was closed most of XXXX and XXXX due to Covid-19. Because of this, I was not able to work. I was working in the financial services industry, which relied on in-person meetings with business owners and their employees. I was forced to quit in XXXX because they took my salary away. I contacted XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to let them know that I was affected by the pandemic and would not meet my obligations in XXXX. I asked if I could skip the XXXX payment, which I would catch up on in XXXX when I received my income tax return. But because these accounts were closed by me due to financial hardship, they would not allow me to do so and reported it to all three credit bureaus. The Cares act protects consumers and requires furnishers who call with a Coronavirus complaint to note current accounts. I was discriminated against because I faithfully paid what I owed to the credit card companies. Before XXXX of XXXX, I had never had a delinquent payment in my 32-year credit history. Instead of allowing this money to get charged off, I agreed to pay them because it was the right thing to do. Because of these four past due payments, my credit score has dropped over XXXX points. I will not be able to buy a house or a car. In addition to calling the credit bureaus, I wrote goodwill letters to no avail. I disputed the reports to all credit reporting agencies, also to no avail. 
I am a single parent whose ex-husband is a convicted fleeing felon, whom I have had no contact with since XX/XX/XXXX. I have two children. My daughter has XXXX, in which she continues to have multiple follow-up appointments out of state. My son has XXXX, which he was XXXX for when I had the first financial hardship. I do not get child support and have no family to help me. I used credit cards to help me take care of my children. 
I would like for these credit bureaus to remove all four delinquent payments from these three banking institutions. Please help!

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
HI! This is XXXX XXXX. 

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and concern regarding a recent policy change related to the application same series welcome offer restriction for American Express credit cards. I have been a loyal American Express cardholder for several years and have always appreciated the transparency and fairness that the company has demonstrated in its dealings with customers. However, my recent experience has left me feeling quite frustrated and disheartened. 

I want to emphasize that my primary concern is not with the policy itself, but rather with the lack of prior notification provided to existing Platinum Cardholders like myself. Last year, when I was considering which American Express card to apply for first, the Gold and Platinum credit cards these two cards do not have any same series card restrictions or limitations for welcome offers. This flexibility was one of the factors that led me to apply for a platinum credit card first. 

This year, when I attempted to apply for the Gold card, I was surprised to discover a new policy had been implemented without any prior notice. This policy states that individuals may not be eligible to receive a welcome offer if they have or have had certain American Express Platinum cards. 

I believe that it is crucial for a reputable company like American Express to maintain transparency and provide adequate communication to its valued customers. If this policy change had been communicated with prior notice, I would have had the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding my credit card applications. For instance, you could have informed existing Platinum Cardholders that this policy would come into effect in one month and advised those interested in the Gold card to apply beforehand to be eligible for the welcome offer. Or This policy will affect the new platinum card member but not the existing platinum card member. This policy is unfair to existing platinum card members. 

I kindly request that American Express take into consideration the importance of prior notification when implementing significant policy changes. This would not only ensure fairness but also foster trust and understanding between the company and its customers.

I received an email today in regards to my Lowes credit card dated XX/XX/23. The email I will be attaching states that my credit card will be closed with reasons which were included, none of these reasons apply to this specific store card. I have never used more than 30 % of my card and have always paid my card on time and feel Im being wrongfully targeted due to my ethnicity. And with these actions which will be detrimental to my credit during these very difficult times. For such a large company to move forward like this on XXXX customers is wrong and should be looked into when making one to feel like a 2nd class citizen.
