Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MO
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I recieved written correspondence by mail that ambiguously said to call their XXXX number to discuss matters regarding my account ending in XXXX. I call, because it did n't say what it was about but I knew I had existing fraud claims. I spoke to the agent, referenced the letter and asked if it was in regards to my open fraud case. She stated no. That it was an offer to raise my credit limit and asked if I wanted to take advantage of the offer. Every increase was done without my requested permission so this was new to me. I specifically asked if it was going to put a hard pull on my social. She said no, that it was an offer for an existing account. I explained that if it did, I did NOT want it as I can not have any more pulls and do n't really need an increase in limit, that I planned on purchasing a new car in coming months. I was reassured ( all on recorded lines that I 've played back and listened to! ) that this was not the case. She asked how much of an increase I would like ( again, another first ). I said I did n't really care. She threw out some numbers, went with the lowest. She then told me I would get written correspondence in the mail regarding the increase ( which sounded fishy ). Not an hour later I get multiple alerts on my credit for a new hard inquiry. I waited a few days to see if it would fall off out of error, it did not. I called the customer service line and they assured me it was not an offer, that it was about my fraud claim, and that they would remove the hard pull. They have n't, it is still showing!

Complaint:
I opened a new account with Synchrony Bank a XXXX Master Card and was approved for the card. A few days after being approved and setting up my online acct in order to pay the bills, I called into Synchrony bank in order to ask a simple question about the promo interest rate on my XXXX card I was told my card was locked and cant be used because a packet was sent out to me and I needed to handle that first. 

After waiting 2 weeks I finally received the packet and it was a request to fill out a form giving my permission to a 3rd party to contact the social security Dept top verify my Social Security number.

I called into to speak with someone at Synchrony Bank and was told if I don't fill out the form and give permission to this 3rd party my acct would be closed within 30 days.

This seems nuts to me I have plenty of credit cards and this has never happened before and I don't feel comfortable giving permission to a 3rd party to obtain my private SS info and don't trust them with my Social Security number.

I chose to do business with Synchrony Bank not this random 3rd party.

I told them I have no issue sending them a copy of my ss card or taking into one of their banks or stores to verify.

Can you help me please!!

I want to keep these accts open, BUT with all the recent data breaches going on I don't feel comfortable giving their 3rd party permission to obtain my SS info..

I returned the lease vehicle to the dealership on XX/XX/18 and received a vehicle return receipt ( attached ). XXXX XXXX did not properly input the return into their internal system resulting in an inaccurate reporting of delinquency on my credit report. I've contacted them numerous times and am being told the error is being corrected and delinquency remarks are being reversed. The company is taking an excess amount of time to correct my report ( more than 60 days ) resulting in penalties to my credit score and open trade lines both being reduced. I believe this is a violation of the FCRA and am at the point of taking legal actions.

Complaint:
I called the loan officer at AAG-Reverse Lending. I had to under go a counseling service according to HUD to determine if I could afford the loan. After the session, I did qualify and I obtained my certificate. I have tons of equity in my home and Reverse Mortgage companies do not need credit reports. 
I spoke to XXXX last Friday and I told her that I would obtain a copy of my report and send to her via email. 
Well, they pulled my credit report without me ever having an APPLICATION or a Credit Release form signed. 
This has resulted in a hard PULL of my credit and if you call the number for the company, it rings busy? I don't know WHAT THEY WANT with my credit since I'd already qualified for the loan though a HUD counselor. The HUD counselor went over my finances. THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE FAIR LENDING PRACTICES AND CREDIT REPORTING ACT. 
They cost me points and no hard pull was necessary with over {$800000.00} equity in my home.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
Citi Credit Cards Benefits denied my claim XXXX for {$370.00} for delayed trip protection. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was flying from XXXX ( 46 Minute connection ) -XXXX . My first flight got delayed by over an Hour, hence I was not able to make a connection. This required me to stay overnight in XXXX, delayed my trip and I had to fly the next day. 

Terms and conditions says, If a Covered Travelers Trip on a Common Carrier is  delayed for at least 3 hours, we may reimburse you for expenses incurred because of the delay.. In Addition, it says Trip Departure Date means the date on which the Covered Traveler ( s ) are originally scheduled to leave on the Common Carrier. Trip Completion Date means the date on which the Covered Traveler ( s ) are scheduled to return to their point of origin or to a different final destination..

An excuse for the denial given is that since my first flight was only delayed by over an hour ( Not 3 Hours ), it 's not covered even though it completely contradicts what terms and conditions state. As stated above if your WHOLE trip is delayed, not only a first flight, you are covered for incurred expenses. When I asked agent to provide me to which terms and conditions she referring to, I was told she does not have any, and it 's up to her to Make up the rules. In addition, she hang up the phone after she was not feeling comfortable with me quoting terms and conditions where she is clearly wrong.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I filed my original complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, file number : XXXX. Since then, they have placed my case on internal review and will not speak to me about it. They continue to garnish my wages but offer no communication. When I ask how long I can expect this to be in the review, they said for a " justified amount of time. '' So basically, it will be on hold indefinitely, continuing to accrue interest, stacking the balanced owed and garnishing my wages. I will never get out of this debt I don't feel I owe. It's from 12 years ago and was improperly served, never notified of my ability to dispute the charges or defend myself in court against judgments that were filed without my knowledge. All this time later, I'm being garnished without any ability to defend myself. 

Copy of original complaint - still under review at XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my employer called me into the office. He wanted to know if I was having some financial troubles. I just bought a house and a car so I could see where he would be concerned. I was confused because I wouldn't have been able to do those things if I had been having financial trouble. He continued on to inform me that they received a garnishment of wages and we could look into it further but they are required to begin withdrawing the money from my next paycheck. I had absolutely no idea where this has come from. My credit report is spotless. I monitor my credit score weekly with instant alerts if anything changes. This garnishment is from a 12-year-old debt but has never once appeared for collections, I was never served court papers or notified by any means of a balance is due, that a judgment was granted or that garnishment would occur until it was too late. I've never heard of or from XXXX XXXX XXXX or Bursey & Associates. 
The name on the judgment is my maiden name from 11 years ago and the addresses listed were always outdated by many years. I was able to contact Bursey & Associates for proof of debt but I was mailed proof of purchase of the debt from XX/XX/XXXX. It was sold by Bank of America to  XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Then from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX and then to Bursey & Associates. I am still unaware of the origination of the {$1700.00} which had then grown to {$4900.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. The scariest part is that after my first garnishment, the balance due jumped up to {$5100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX.
