CreditKarma.com has given Fraudsters access to my personal information without my consent.

'' please freeze my account ''. They need to be regulated! You can not be the gatekeeper to sensitive information and not have 24/7 phone support. That is insane to me!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I called Chase Freedom on XX/XX/XXXX and asked if they also had a 0 % interest promotion they could activate on my account, like the one I had just activated on my XXXX for the next year. The agent advised that it had been activated and would carry through XX/XX/XXXX. I was very pleased with the quickness of the activation. I assumed that it was through XX/XX/XXXX, like XXXX 's was, and immediately switched to this as my primary card. During the holidays, I set up auto payment for minimum amount due, not worrying about interest based on the phone conversation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my statements and noticed I was being charged 12.99 % on all of my purchases and the activation I was promised had never been activated. I called Chase to see if they could rectify the situation. On XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by the Chase Bank with a " resolution. '' I was driving and unable to write down the exact details. She had reviewed the call and was offering a resolution. She advised me that the agent on the call had " misunderstood my question. '' She said the agent thought I was asking about a quarterly promotion and not the 0 % promotion I had clearly asked about. She stated there was " opportunity '' on the call for the agent to have been more clear and to have listened better. She offered as a courtesy to refund 2 months of interest, but advised I will immediately, on my next billing statement due date of XX/XX/XXXX,  have to assume responsibility for the 12.99 % interest, ( approximate {$90.00} a month, ) until I am able to pay the bill down. This is not what the original agent had agreed to. This is deceptive and unfair. I could have placed all of these charges on my XXXX and be enjoying 0 % interest, if their agent hadn't " misunderstood me, '' and provided an incorrect answer to my question. I also wouldn't be spending my free time trying to rectify the issue, first with the bank and now through you. My time has value. The person who called me back advised that I must not have heard the agent say that it was and XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX promotion and so it is my fault for not listening closely enough. Now, if I want to transfer the balance to my XXXX I would be responsible for a 3 % transfer fee. So, I'm left paying either a transfer fee or a monthly interest fee of approximately {$90.00} because of their agent misunderstanding my question and providing me incorrect information. I am not able to pay the balance off immediately and this is due to the bank agent 's error. I am hoping you can help me reach a fair resolution. Thanks for your time in processing my complaint.

Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged a $ XXXX monthly service fee on my money market account. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and asked for an explanation as I thought I could avoid the fee by having an XXXX checking account. The website for the money market account says you can avoid the fee with a {$1000.00} min balance or having a " qualified checking account ''. There are no further details on what defines " qualified ''. The phone banker told me she would forward to other staff. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( banker at XXXX ) reached out to me via a secure messaging site. XXXX said the {$12.00} would be refunded, but I was mostly concerned about the error on the bank website. Over the course of a few days, I was pointed to different disclosures that supposedly contained the verbiage on what a " qualified checking account '' was. XXXX via XXXX could never provide any documentation. As a result, I feel many others have been incorrectly charged by XXXX. 

Please see attachments for message exchange and disclosures made available to me via XXXX or their website.

Complaint:
I am again disputing my debt with XXXX. On or about XX/XX/2019 I received a new demand letter from another collection agency, this time Credence Resource Management LLC ( " CRM '' ). On or about XX/XX/2019 I requested validity of debt ( see attached ). On or about XX/XX/2019 I received a letter from CRM simply stating that the debt was valid. I called and spoke with a representative at CRM on XX/XX/2019, advising them that I had requested validity of debt, including but not limited to, invoices, contracts, copies of statements. When advising the representative of this, he only kept interrupting me advising me that I can pay a lower amount to settle. I continued to advise him that I had requested validity to prove the debt. He then kept trying to terminate the call. Please note, I have disputed this debt with another agency, reference # XXXX on or about XX/XX/2019. CRM will only validate the debt by saying 'it is valid '. I do not feel this is appropriate validity of debt pursuant to the FDCPA. I have not had XXXX in years, I have paid all balances when I closed my account.

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I have contacted EdFinancial on XXXX to obtain a refund on student loan payments made during 2021 under the CARES act. I called a second time on XXXX to confirm and they confirmed that the request was submitted They did confirm that it is possible to obtain a refund, but cited a refund time of 150 business days ( approximately 7 months ). This is much longer than reports from borrowers using other loan servicers, some of who received refund timelines of 7-10 business days. This also could affect the current student loan forgiveness plan by the Biden administration in the event the refund is not processed before forgiveness goes into effect ( this is unclear, but sooner is better in this case ).
