Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
ON XX/XX/2019 I went into the XXXX  XXXX  located at XXXX  XXXX  XXXX   XXXX WA XXXX  and purchased a chair with credit through American First.  The agreement was made only on the condition that they would not take out auto payments.  This was clear and written into the contract.  American First set up auto pay anyway.  They broke this contract.  I am very fearful that this company will do this again, because they already have broke this contract, and therefore I do not want their product at all, they have said too bad they will not take the product back.  I do not want to work with a company who has already broke a legal contract.

State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I disputed inaccurate information reporting on my credit report by XXXXXXXX XXXX. I was notified by the 3 credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX  and TransUnion that the information was verified. I disagreed with this information, so on XX/XX/2020 I sent a follow-up to the 3 credit reporting agencies that I disagreed with the information reported and requested their method of verification as in my research, I found they should be able to provide me. Again, they verified the accuracy of the reporting and made no changes. 

On XX/XX/2020, I sent a request of verification to XXXXXXXX XXXX so that I can see how and why they have verified this information with the 3 credit reporting agencies, yet, all 3 of them didn't report the exact same thing. Again, in my research, I found that the FACT Act allows me to go directly to the original creditor under Section 312. I requested a bunch of information, however they didn't provide me with the requested information. 

On XX/XX/2020, I sent another dispute to the 3 credit reporting agencies to let them know that I have not been able to obtain actual verification of what XXXXXXXX XXXX  is reporting. I notified them that the information is inaccurate and unable to be verified per my request. 

On XX/XX/2020, I sent another dispute to XXXXXXXX XXXX  to notify them that I've had my rights violated. 

In my research, I found something called Appendix B to Part 1022 - Model Notices of Furnishing Negative Information. My research shows that a financial institution that is subject to section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) of the FCRA shall be deemed to be in compliance with the notice requirement in section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) of the FCRA if the institution properly uses the model notices in this appendix. I would like to see the actual document that was sent to me to verify that my rights have not been violated.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MO
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Non-sufficient funds and associated fees

Complaint:
Bank of America offered a {$300.00} bonus if one started a checking account in the months of XXXX and XXXX, 2021. Part of the stipulation for the bonus was : : " Set up and receive Qualifying Direct Deposits of {$4000.00} or more in that new personal checking account within ninety ( 90 ) days of account opening. 
A Qualifying Direct Deposit is a direct deposit of regular monthly income such as your salary, pension or Social Security benefits, which are made by your employer or other payer using account and routing numbers that you provide to them. Examples of non-qualifying transfers and deposits include the following : teller deposits, wire transfers, debit card transfers, ATM transfers or deposits, Online and Mobile Banking transfers or deposits, or transfers from a bank or brokerage account or Merrill account. '' As I am retired, and as discussed with the person over the phone who enrolled me, essentially all my income is from brokerage accounts, but also social security. As my social security checks exceed $ XXXX, I signed up. An incredible amount of time was spent on the phone, going to the local branch ( which never answered the phone so one had to go in person to find either no bankers or that the branch was closed due to Covid- no fault of BOA ). However, after all these efforts I found out that when switching which bank my Social Security check would be directed to, the Social Security web site states it will take 3-4 months for the switch to occur! This means as most only one qualifying deposit will possibly make the 90 day time allotted, or perhaps none. 

SO, my complaint is that BOA clearly had to know that listing social security benefits WOULD NOT QUALITY, a bait and switch on retired individuals. I don't know how many simply receive a pension, but a qualifying 'salary ' excludes most retired individuals by definition, and by listing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was the BAIT to capture senior citizens. Either their research was incompetent or they ignored this problem when other senior citizens must have called in XXXX with this roadblock, or they decided to intentionally perpetuate this scam. When I called today, I was simply told that it was up to the customer to insure that deposits could be made prior to initiating these new accounts ( BUYER BEWARE ), and that the bank was not responsible for how Social Security is run. I would amend that a respectable bank is quite familiar with money transfers, etc, and only from a position of fraud or a scam would this BAIT been offered.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
I specifically made XXXX purchases the last day of my billing period for my American Express in order to reach the XXXX purchases required to get 20 % extra benefits for that month. For some reason, even though I did all three purchases back to back for different things online, only XXXX posted that day and the third did n't post until the next day so it shows that I only got to XXXX with the third counting towards the new cycle. It was a big spending month which is why I made that extra effort to get the additional points by making those purchases. On the phone they told me that because my purchase was done in California on XXXX XXXX but Mountain Time XXXX XXXX, it counts as XXXX XXXX because there is a clause that says this somewhere in the cardholder agreement they sent. HOWEVER I just got off the phone with XXXX to see what time the purchase was actually made, since the customer service rep at AMEX was telling me it was past XXXX Mountain Time, and she informed me it was made at XXXX on XXXX XXXX Pacific Time. That also makes sense why the other XXXX purchases I made right before that XXXX were in the billing cycle I wanted them in and not the XXXX XXXX one. I bought those within less than thirty minutes before the XXXX purchase. And just to add to this, on their website ( AMEX that is ) it says on the page that shows your rewards progress : " To count purchases for this benefit, we use the date of the purchase. For example, if you make a purchase on the last day in your XXXX billing period, it might not post to your account until your XXXX billing period. If this happens, the purchase still counts towards your XXXX billing period. '' That is proof I am at least owed that purchase counting for XXXX XXXX and not XXXX XXXX which would put me at the XXXX purchases I need for the rewards benefit.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OK
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 a fraudulent ATM Cash Advance was transacted for {$800.00}. I reported this fraudulent activity to Chase Security. They credited my account for the fee ( {$40.00} ) and the transaction amount of {$800.00}. This part of my experience was satisfying to me. The issue I have with Chase is they did not and will not apply the credit to my cash balance. This leaves me with an inflated cash balance by {$800.00}. It also forces me to pay interest at a 5 % higher rate on that same amount ( {$800.00} ). And one last item it reduces my available Cash by {$800.00}. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Chase and ended up speaking to a Supervisor by the name of XXXX. They would not budge. They said their system does not allow for this type of adjustment. They said the credit applied is applied to ANY outstanding balance. The " voice of reason '' does not apply when it comes to Chase.
