Complaint sub-issue: Problem when attempting to purchase vehicle at the end of the lease

On XX/XX/XXXX my lease was totaled. I contacted USBank and requested a buyout amount on XX/XX/XXXX. I wanted to exercise my buyout option. The bank provided me with a buyout of {$35000.00}. I was contacted by my insurance company who determined value they were paying off was {$47000.00}. I then received a letter from USBank on XX/XX/XXXX that they were keeping the surplus amount and that a buyout option is not available to me. 

I spoke with a supervisor today who stated that on XX/XX/XXXX USBank changed their policy and will no longer return surplus amounts. I have a sibling who signed the same contract I signed for a different lease with USBank in XXXX of XXXX and he was refunded the surplus insurance payoff. 

How can USBank not allow me to exercise my buyout option when I initiated it prior to the vehicle being totaled? How can they keep a surplus of approximately {$12000.00} and profit from the insurance I am obligated to have?
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I scheduled a student loan payment to American Education Services on the XX/XX/XXXX for a draft date of XX/XX/2019. This payment would have covered my XX/XX/XXXX due date. My student loan is due on the 1st of each month and I should not have received a negative reporting until the XX/XX/XXXX. AES reported a 30 day late payment for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I have reached out to AES to resolve this on the XX/XX/XXXX to inquire and spoke to a manager. He advised that I should not get a negative credit reporting and he would initiate an internal dispute. To date there has been no resolution and my credit has been impacted tremendously. AES payment confirmation states the payment date is the day that the payment will be applied.
Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

My credit card with Discover was closed on XX/XX/22 with no warning. I noticed on XX/XX/22 when a credit report indicated my score dropped due to a closed account. I verified it was the Discover account via their website on XX/XX/22 and called their support phone number. They did not provide me further information and could not reopen my account or explain why they closed my account. They noted they might be able to reopen the account if it was less than 30 days. Which is hard to realize with 0 notice.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the major credit bureaus are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on my credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demanded to see by Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX what they have in their possesion on file of the derogatory accounts listed on my credit report as well as the unauthorized inquiries with no success. All three credit bureaus failed to positively verify by physical verification as requested by me on several EVERY SINGLE MONTH for these accounts that has hurt my ability to obtain credit. I repetitiously dispute Under the FCRA that unverified accounts must be removed if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof. My requests have gone ignored and per FCRA you must remove any and all of the accounts that can not be physically verified. Equifax, XXXX, nor XXXX  have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA They are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I informed all three major credit bureaus that The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if the credit reporting agencies fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. In the results of their first investigation and subsequently in their re-investigation, they stated in writing that the accounts were verified that these items are being reported correctly. When I asked Who verified these accounts and for physical proof? XXXX, Equifax, or XXXX have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore they have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA All major credit bureaus are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

I opened a secured credit card with  XXXX   XXXX , I deposited money in my account that was already open and they took it from there. I never received a notice as to where the funds would be deposited or if I was getting interest on the account. My account was closed by them and I never received a letter stating where the money i deposited was applied to. They originally reported that I owed {$410.00} and I disputed that and they brought it down to {$110.00} only because I disputed it. Those action lowered my credit score. And I have yet to receive any letters on what happened with the deposit.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

On XX/XX/XXXX I finance a XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I finance the vehicle, I was in the middle of a chapter XXXX bankruptcy that discharged in XXXX of XXXX. XXXX approved me for the loan I had an approval from my trustee as well. After financing the vehicle with XXXX, they reported to my credit for a few months. Then I noticed they stopped reporting. I called XXXX to find out why they werent reporting. They said because I filed bankruptcy. Which was incorrect I was already in bankruptcy when I was approved for the loan. After inquiring about this matter, they went and removed it from my credit altogether. I do XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for a living. I have had multiple customers in bankruptcy that were approved by XXXX the same way and they reported their loans to the credit. When these customers came back to purchase another car or trade, they still reported years later. I would have never financed this vehicle. I would of payed cash at the time, so I didnt need to pay any interest ( especially a high interest rate ) if I knew they werent going to report to my credit. I made 12 payments on the loan then I paid it off, so I didnt need to pay any more interest. I want this account to be reported to my credit. I paid them to report to my credit I feel they should make this correct. I have contacted them multiple times about this issue including trying to contact the president of XXXX XXXX XXXX. No one want s to correct this issue they say they cant. Its not a matter of cant as it is the will to. I made all my payments on time.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

My name is XXXX XXXX and I co-signed my daughter 's - XXXX XXXX student loan with XXXX. The servicer is AES. The account is XXXX XXXX XXXX. The current balance is about {$24000.00}. After XXXX made perfect payments for 48 months, we requested from AES in XX/XX/2016 that I be removed as a co-signer. As of today, the payments have been automatic and on time for nearly 60 months. We have received conflicting information from AES Customer Reps, submitted the same documents four ( 4 ) times including those with return receipt requested, were lied to by AES that they did not receive the requests for co-signer release ( later saying that they did receive ), were told that decision is up to XXXX, when we called XXXX they say that decision is up to AES. Each Customer Service Rep has a different story about what was sent, what was received, and whose responsibility it is to provide me with a co-signer release. I have not been denied a release. I have been prevented by AES from being considered. The process is not transparent, the Customer Reps each say something different, promises are made which are not kept. At best I suspect AES of being badly managed. At worst, I suspect a fraudulent attempt to keep me from obtaining a co-signer release. Please look at this matter.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I have tried to reach out to each credit reporting agency and they have been closing my complaints every time. I am giving authorization to to pursue this complaint. I have attached my credit report for this account and there are multiple discrepancies on all three credit reporting agencies. The open dates, high credit amount, the inaccurate late payments dates are also inconsistent. Also there are missing report dates as well. These numbers and dates are supposed to be the same. If all three credit reporting agencies receive the same information from the same creditor, why are these numbers so vastly different?

I have already complained about funds stolen from my prepaid cards XXXX and XXXX ( see case # XXXX ). 
US Bank responded on XX/XX/17 that I should sent them email with my driver 's license, copies of receipts and copies of my cards and then they would send me refund. 
I am unsuccessfully trying to get this resolved since that. I have sent them all this information several times, however no resolution was received. When I am trying to get the status of my case I am getting back emails that my case was closed.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

FedLoan Servicing is not honoring the Department of Education 's waiver for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program. I currently qualify for forgiveness on my student loans but FedLoans is not processing my application. If I call, I am given misinformation based on pre-waiver guidance. I have spent hours on hold only to reach a representative that tells me to continuously submit employer certification forms. All of my loans are currently eligible for forgiveness. I had to fight FedLoans to restore payments from XXXX - XXXX for over 5 years ; I requested manual review of my account and restoration of payments beginning in XXXX. My account was not reviewed and the missing payments were not restored until the Massachusetts XXXX settlement with FedLoans, which occurred in XXXX. 5 years of calls, emails, inquiries, to restore 18 months of missing payments. The ongoing struggle of fighting this predatory servicer has taken a toll on my quality of life. I have filed complaints with the Massachusetts XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and now with your office. When I called today, I was told it will take 6 months to process my account. Such lengthy timelines are unnecessary and unacceptable. Many people are losing hope in this process, once again. The waiver made XXXX worse, not easier, for many borrowers.

Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

On XX/XX/2018 I called Ally Financial and spoke to a representative about an advertised offer that provided for a {$1200.00} cash bonus for opening a new account with {$500000.00} or more. I inquired as to whether the combination of my two accounts, an IRA and a Roth IRA, would qualify, since the combined value was well over the threshold. I was told that the combined value would be considered. I opened the two accounts and transferred securities. Ally calculated the bonus 60 days later and gave me a bonus of {$600.00} in one account and {$300.00} in the second account. When I called to inquire of this discrepancy, I was told that the two account values were  considered separately and that they would not give me the full {$1200.00}. I would like for Ally to fulfill their commitment of a {$1200.00} new account bonus. 

I've attached my call log showing the date and time I called from XXXX. A review of this phone call should confirm my conversation.
