Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: AZ
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:
This complaint relates to the credit card issuer improperly charging interest on a cash advance and failing to apply payments to the highest interest-rate balance first, as required under the federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. 
I have a credit card issued by USAA Federal Savings Bank, issued in XX/XX/XXXX, that was offered with an introductory 0.00 % interest rate on balance transfers through XX/XX/XXXX. 
I made XXXX balance transfers to this card, XXXX for {$12000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX for {$6000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Both of these are subject to the 0.00 % interest rate. 
Additionally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I used the card for a cash advance of {$2500.00}. That cash advance is subject to an APR of 8.9 %.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment of {$1000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment of {$2500.00}. Neither of those  payments were applied in full to the cash advance. Instead, only {$600.00} was applied to the cash advance, and the rest of the payments were applied to the zero-interest balance transfers. 
When I spoke with USAA customer service representatives on the phone, once in XX/XX/XXXX and again onXX/XX/XXXX ( after receiving the latest bill ), they said that the payments were being applied to the earliest charge first ( the balance transfers ), and would continue to be so applied until those are paid off in full, and would only be applied in full to the cash advance balance after that. In the meantime, they informed me, USAA intends to continue to charge me interest at an 8.9 % APR on the cash advance. 
I pointed out to the USAA representatives that such a policy and practice is violates the federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. That law clearly requires credit card issuers to apply any payments in excess of the minimum to the highest-interest balance first. That law explicitly includes cash advances. 
Since USAA has declined to correct this misapplication of my payments, and is continuing to improperly charge me interest, I am requesting the help of the CFPB in having them immediately adjust those payments to apply them retroactively to the cash advance rather than the 0.00 % APR balance transfers, and to have USAA reimburse the improper interest rate charges of {$15.00} made on XX/XX/XXXX, and {$14.00} made on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I also request the the CFPB ensure that USAA is not improperly charging other customers interest and improperly applying payments to balances chronologically, rather than according to which has the highest interest rate.

Complaint:
Today XX/XX/2022, I attempted to purchase a set of shirts through XXXX XXXX XXXX. It prompted me to use PayPal. 

I entered my information, and received an email to verify my account with PayPal. Before I could even open it, I received a second email in the same minute, stating my account was " limited '', and they'll be keeping my card on file though I can't access it, or delete it, without any explanation. 

I called them to file a complaint, and spoke with an agent who recited to me reasons why she can't explain it. Although she does have the reasons on her screen, I am not privy to that information. I asked if I should be worried about fraud, she said I can't have that information. 

Essentially, they've recorded my debit card information, taken my address and personal info, and they're going to hold onto it with zero explanation of why, forever. I am not happy with this arrangement. 

I'm a straight-shooting guy, I don't run scams, I have no idea why they're doing this. Perhaps the whole entity is just collecting information for another, more corrupt entity?

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Hi, I received a phone message from someone named " XXXX '' ( sp? ) supposedly from a company named " Premiere Credit XXXX XXXX XXXX '' calling on behalf of the " Indiana Department of Revenue. '' The phone message did not leave any details, but instructed me to call ( XXXX ) XXXX. They also gave me a reference number. 

I called back. First of all, it was VERY difficult to get through. LONG hold times, and kept wanting to have me leave a message, which made me wary. 

Anyway, when I got through, it was very confusing. It was hard to understand the person I was talking to ( perhaps calling from some foreign country? ), and they were not clear about why they were calling me with the exception of the fact that ( they said ) it had something to do with the " Indiana Department of Revenue. '' They asked me for my social security number, which put me on guard. But then, the woman I was speaking to HAD the last four digits of my social security number and asked me to confirm. She also had my middle initial. That 's when I became highly suspicious and ended the call. Sounded like identity theft to me, and I was n't going to talk to them any further. The woman I spoke to did not give me a clear idea of what she was calling about. 

I have no idea what business the " Indiana Department of Revenue '' ( which I highly doubt it was ) would have with me. I live in Minnesota, and have never worked in Indiana. The last time I was in Indiana was during the XX/XX/XXXX, on a car trip with my parents. 

My only conclusion is that this is some kind of identity theft operation. I hope you 're able to get to the bottom of it. I will also be contacting the actual Indiana Department of Revenue to report this scam, as well as the attorney generals of Indiana and Minnesota, and the Better Business Bureau.

On or aboutXX/XX/XXXX I contacted Portfolio Recovery Associates to settle a debt that has been in dispute due to damaged goods received and not replaced, by XXXX.

At this point I ceased this part of the conversation and asked her to address the matter in which I called, the debt from XXXX  
Towards the end of the conversation, I requested that she have someone from PRA, in Authority, to call me and address the attempted collection. I have not received any sort of communication.

Complaint:
EOS CCA had me in collections for a debt that was paid to XXXX XXXX XXXX They were trying to collect ~ {$180.00} in total and ruined my otherwise excellent credit for over a year. I was declined on several credit card applications where my credit should have been excellent. 

It took many phone calls to get this corrected and I had to speak with numerous people with bad attitudes who were unhelpful. I was able to get them to reduce the amount but had to persist with more phone calls and follow-ups to get it fully cleared. Even after they said they would fix it, it wasn't fixed and I had to call back again and press them to send the " AUD confirmations '' were never sent when they said they would send them. They admitted to the mistake at the end of the day and after MUCH persistence on my part. These are very bad people. It takes a special kind of person to work at a collection agency.
