Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a Chase United Credit Card ( the Ref # is XXXX ). One XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter that required me to submit some documents to verify my information. Then I did that. On XX/XX/XXXX, my application was approved, and I received my card on XX/XX/XXXX ( the letter coming with the new card was attached ). 

However, on the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I received another letter that said my account was closed ( attached ). The reason given in the letter was : 1. Not enough credit information on file 2. The accounts on your credit report have not been open long enough That was based on the credit report from XXXX. 

Then I requested my credit report from XXXX  ( credit report ). On the credit report it's very clear that I have an individual credit card ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX # XXXX**** ) opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and there was no any missed or late payment. The history of that card is nealy two and a half years. Why do you think ' the accounts have not been open long enough '? 

Also I have server credit cards which I was listed as the authorized user of my husband 's account. Neither of them has any problem. 

I'm really puzzled and angry! You have approved my application based on my credit report and submited documents. Why do you close it immediately? The given reason is really shocking!

Complaint:
After fraudulent purchases were made with my bank credit card - I called bank and they stopped the card and agreed to send me a new card. However, they failed to tell me that they were removing the card and all statements from my bank web page thus I would no longer have any access to my records. 

Now, I can not see my credit card account to : 1 ) see if my last payment made it to the account 2 ) see what the exact amounts of the fraudulent charges - there were 2 from one same company 3 ) see if the credit returns were given to me that I expected. 

I want my past statements and current statement back on the website so I can see what is going on - they said I have to wait until I get a new card - but even when I get the new card they said they won't put my old credit card statements online? Why? Shouldn't I have gotten a warning they were removing them? Now they want me to come into the bank and pay for paper copies!!! 

I was promised by the bank when I went " paperless '' that I would have access to these statements for as long as I needed for IRS purposes - isn't that the point of paperless?

Complaint:
I have been contacted by a collection agency called Sequium at my email address of XXXX regarding an unpaid XXXX XXXX XXXX  wireless bill. 

I informed them that I was not the account holder and that they had the wrong email address. ( I have lots of problems with other people using my address. ) They responded by sending me " documentation '' of what they claim is my debt, including copies of the actual debtor 's bills, including his physical address and phone number. 

This strikes me as a major violation of the privacy of the person who actually owes the debt. 

I have attached PDFs of the two emails they sent me, as well as the copies of the actual debtor 's bills they sent me.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I have had problems with Bank of America employing shady practices. I know they re-aged my credit card from XXXX which then listed it as *LAST ACTIVITY XX/XX/XXXX *CLOSED DATE XX/XX/XXXX and i know those expiration dates were coming up, so i paid the open balance amount in the beginning of XXXX, and waited for the Collections accounts to be removed in XX/XX/XXXX ( 7 years later from last activity ) then XX/XX/XXXX ( 7 years later from account closure ). Well now its almost XXXX and i have submitted disputed through multiple credit agencies, but they won't remove the account. My last step is to mail forms to BoA directly in hopes I catch someone who will remove the expired accounts, but I have better odds of hitting the lottery. Someone with authority needs to call them out on their shady business practices. I never thought I would have so much trouble getting a paid, expired collection removed from my reports. PLEASE HELP ME!! 

Side Note- I used to have a lot of respect for Bank of America XXXX saw them a a prestigius banking institution. What a simple fool I was. You live and you learn. Please help me fix what BoA refuses to do, but is the LAW. 

P.S.- All 3 credit reporting agencies are listing the same month and year for account closure, XX/XX/XXXX.
