Complaint:
XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX  ) in XXXX AZ. Processed a debit transaction of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I did not authorize this transaction, when I became aware of it I called Bank of America and told them I'm disputing the charge. After multiple calls and many days of waiting for the money to be returned to my account ( BOA initially told me 2 days at most ) I sternly requested they return my money while they investigate. Today XX/XX/XXXX Without correspondence they reversed the intial credit. I called them wanting to know why and they said XXXX is not cooperating other than explaining that a pin number was used during the transaction, ( leading them to assume I indeed made the purchase ) XXXX had a case regarding this # XXXX, they will not return my calls and the number I call to speak to them had me on hold for 48 minutes without ever actually connecting to a representative. Bank of America has placated the responsibility on XXXX and They can not be contacted through the numbers listed on their own website. I've never once visited that store location but both vendor and bank say I have and since decided- to steal from me instead of actually investigating the case of fraud.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against Merchants and Professional located in XXXX, TX. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Merchants and Professional has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraudulent accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the accounts claim to be mine. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensation and damages incurred. Please delete the accounts immediate.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA
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:
On XXXX XXXX, 2018, I applied for the American Express Gold Delta SkyMiles credit card online via a referral link my friend sent me and got instantly approved. The process was smooth and I clearly remembered I did NOT receive any " pop-ups '' saying I would not be eligible for the welcome offer ( as Amex customer service later claimed I should have seen ) during the process. To confirm I was eligible for the welcome offer, I even went ahead and gave a call to Amex customer service - they confirmed I was on track to receive the bonus miles. 

I have spent far beyond the requirements but did not receive any of the promised rewards. On XX/XX/2018, I contacted Amex asking for why I was not issued the rewards and was told my offer was declined because of " misuse of credit card ''. I escalated the call several times and they were unable to tell me what exactly cause the " misuse '' but keep refusing to issue me the bonus miles after I have met the posted requirements. 

What Amex has done was very deceptive : 1. If they determine a customer would not be eligible for the offer, they should inform the customer before they conduct the credit check and approve the card. The credit card market is very competitive and customers have many choices other than Amex. From a customer 's perspective, what Amex has done is fraud. And it has gained Amex an unfair advantage in the credit card market.

2. What is worse than not informing the customer when they applied is : to tell customers they are eligible when they are trying to meet the requirements and then tell them they are actually NOT eligible AFTER they have met the requirements. I don't know if Amex is doing this on purpose. If they are, it looks 100 % fraud to me.

From the referral link I received from my friend, Amex posted I would receive XXXX Delta SkyMiles after I spent {$3000.00} in the first four months. I have not received any of these mile so far - I have went far beyond the spending requirement.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
My accounts have been charged off over 3 years ago however they are still being erroneously reported. 

The accounts are attached to XXXX XXXX for the following amounts : {$14000.00}, {$11.00}, XXXX reporting to Transunion, XXXX and XXXX. 

Reporting to XXXX for {$4300.00} 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION ( 1 ) PROHIBITION ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Duty : A moral or legal obligation ; a responsibility Accurate : correct in all details ; exact Prohibition : A law of regulation forbidding something As defined by The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) Even if you didnt receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as a gross income on your tax. 
The IRS clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 

By definition the IRS clearly says a canceled or charge off is income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. 
15 USC 1681 s- 2 says XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. 
You are PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand you to Cease and Desist the reporting of incorrect/inaccurate information immediately.

Company: MOHELA

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received notification from XXXX XXXX that the customer service of my federal student loan account would be transferred to MOHELA but that my loans would still be owned by the U.S. Dept. of Ed. The letter stated that it would be transferred on or about XX/XX/XXXX. 

Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email that loans would be transferred to MOHELA within 30 days and to go ahead and set- up my account using the information they had provided. 

I went ahead and set up an account and within a couple of days, my account said that all information would be available on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I checked my account and the account stated that I was " in good standing '' and my balance was showing {$0.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my account again and it stated that all the information relating to my loan would be available on XX/XX/XXXX. At this point, I knew I was getting misleading and bad information. I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX and again, it stated that I was " in good standing '' and my balance was showing {$0.00}. 

I called MOHELA immediately because I am getting conflicting information after years of getting bad customer service and faulty information with XXXX XXXX. I am also in the process of purchasing a home and further steps can not be taken until my student loan information is established with MOHELA. 

I spoke with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX who informed me that the processing time is about 10 business days. I explained that I am well over the 10 business day mark but she could not give me a reason why and had no access to any further information to help me access my new account.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I just seen a account from Ability Recovery Services LLC pop up on my credit report randomly one day ( Back in XXXX-XXXX  of 2019 ). So a few months go by then I decided to write them a letter around XX/XX/XXXX or so XXXX ishh and let them know my concerns regarding the bill and I would like VALIDATION not Verification of the item on my credit report. They then sent me a letter back saying basically you owe this debt to us and we bought it from the original creditor XX/XX/XXXX. They then have an attached document to go with it showing some doctor or so they say I went to they claim, and just an amount? I then sent in a letter letting them know if thats the case they're violating HIPPA Law by releasing medical documents without a hippa release form and a suit will be filed by me and my attorney if it is not removed from my credit profile. 

Also detailing the guidelines under the FCRA. It's been 2 weeks with no response of validation, full break down of the bill, bill of sale, or proof of a Hippa Release form. The 2nd letter regarding the violation was sent out XX/XX/XXXX & received XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/2019. 2 weeks from the day. I dont want to have to take legal action. And it's best for everybody if its just removed from my credit profile. If not I will sue for monetary damages, loss of wages, and legal/lawyer fees. I have just spoken with my Attorney today and we're ready to take all courses of action but would rather not to avoid senseless situations like this but will if need be.
