Complaint:
I tried to pay my walmart Mastercard monthly balance early last XXXX and That payment was applied to the previous month and then for the month of XXXX my account was marked late. The walmart Mastercard is designed to make money from this countries poorest individuals from interest rates and late fees. If you pay your balance off every month, they are not gaining anything and therefore make it impossible to keep the account. Then walmart cut off my card and I paid off the full amount and it was opened again. It's my only credit card and so I pay the balance off every month now just trying to improve my credit score but every month even though I pay it on time they cut it off. Plus walmart is on my credit report like 5 different times for the same issue so I cant even get a different account. I thought paying the whole amount every month was a good way to improve my credit score but it's been a nightmare. I am scared to close the account because they never remove the negative things from my credit report and a closed account looks bad on me not them but the issuer is the worst credit agency I have ever had to deal with in my life.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
Reason : 1. Get U.S. Bank written approval letter for purchase gift card on XXXX XXXX. The account was closed on XXXX because I purchase gift card. Request : The U.S. Bank ( the Bank ) has closed my credit card account because " excessive or patterned purchases of cash equivalent '' in Cardmember Agreement, but the define of " excessive or patterned '' are not clearly stated. A large number of account closed cases indication that the Bank is not ready to issue high return rate credit card, but they ca n't change terms in first year because law prohibit, so it looks the Bank try to using fuzzy Cardmember Agreement terms to evade its own legal responsibility and fraudulent to user deserved Rewards, these term allow the Bank can arbitrarily close the account and refuse to pay any of legal customer rewards. For example, they can say {$1.00} is " excessive '' amount, so close the account. Moreover, for a frequency business travel in between of two city, the ticket full price always same, so they can say it is " patterned '' Futher, the maximum amount of gift card is {$500.00}, so if user necessary totally {$1000.00} gift card, the user have to split purchase into two of {$500.00}, they also can say it " patterned ''.
If you wanted, we can find more similar scenario. In my case, my business trip need booking over {$3000.00} tickets per month, so I think {$2000.00} is not a large amount for my personal business travel ( please remember, the Bank give my {$21000.00} credit limit ). For avoid risk, I contact the Bank customer services to explain why and how to use these gift card in before more purchase, the Bank written approved these gift card purchase, but the Bank suddenly closed my account after I purchase gift card. I am heared many similar stories in near days ( for example, my friend 's account was closed because he purchase a XXXX {$2000.00} laptop with his U.S. Bank credit card ). I was request them answer above details by help OCC help in XXXX, but the Bank are arrogant not to answer, the Bank simple response as " decision was unchange '', I have reason to believe that the Bank did not read the above questions before response to OCC. I would like request CFPB to review these Cardmember Agreement to save more victims, and I also want the Bank to release explain the specific definition of " excessive or patterned '' ( and all of fuzzy terms ) to the publlic field, and also mail it to every customer to avoid the Bank abuse on Cardmember Agreement.

Myself along with approximately twenty other clients had their social security number and all other personal information stolen from XXXX XXXX of XXXX. XXXX XXXX paid for a service to help remove all of the incorrect information but none of the incorrect information was removed.

For the last 17 years I have tried to correct my credit report with no luck. XXXX, Transunion and XXXX use their incorrect information as security questions to log onto their websites. I do n't believe you can contact these companies by phone if you are not a bank. When I have used the mail and submitted their paperwork to remove incorrect information I have had no luck. I am the main earner in our house hold and we where forced to purchase a house in my wife 's name due to this incorrect information. It is frustrating because this information was stolen from a bank and they pay for this service that can create so many problems.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I received a notice in the mail, dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage stating that I had a escrow account shortage of {$4900.00}. My mail was being held by the post office, so I did not get the mail notice until today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The shortage was caused, allegedly, by Wells Fargo buying home owners insurance due to a cancellation of my policy. In fact, a cancellation notice had been sent due to a late payment.

My insurance broker stated that if Wells Fargo got the cancellation notice, it got the reinstatement notice, Wells Fargo 's attempt to get {$4900.00} from our mortgage account is the result of gross negligence or a deliberate attempt to bill for unneeded insurance..
