Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

on X/XX/17 I made a purchase online from XXXX for school clothes for my son which consisted of sweatshirts and athletic pants. I received the original order and was missing items. I contacted XXXX to report the missing items. I was told via ( online chat session ) that I would be refunded for the missing items. The items that I received did not fit my son ; therefore I sent them back via the prepaid return label that they sent me. I have contacted XXXX several times via phone and chat session and am told every time that " they will investigate ''. That is when I asked my credit card company CITI to help. I received a letter from them ( attached ) that they are unable to assist. I contacted XXXX again today with the same response after chatting with them for over 1/2 hour " they would look into it ''. I was charged {$220.00} for this merchandise, did not receive items and then returned the items that I received. I think it is very unfair that I should have to pay for items that I do not have. I am a single mom ; and this is very rough.

Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

I bank with Pnc bank. A charge came in for {$14.00} then another {$15.00} overdrawing my account by {$29.00}. I had funds in another account that shouldve been used. Pnc chose to transfer only XXXX and XXXX from another account allowing two overdraft fees of {$36.00} totaling {$72.00} to accrue against my checking account. When I recognized the issue, I immediately transferred the money to rectify the shortage. I thought the bank would have provided this courtesy.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I initially sent a series of correspondence to the Credit Reporting Agencies as well as the Actual Creditor. 

I am fully aware of how reporting works and found demonstration of non-compliance in accordance to the E-Oscar and Metro 2 format method ignoring to report. 

Please see attached documents of proof of me sending the letter. In addition to that, please note that they are neglecting my request to modify accounts, which would lead to changes on all agency reports ( as per the carbon copy rules of E-Oscar updates ). 
Original creditor is denying any misreporting to CRAs. 

It is very urgent that you please investigate and resolve as this is destructive to my character and is obstructing my capability to obtain mortgage.

Complaint sub-issue: Impersonated an attorney or official

I recently had debt to settle had no problems with that. I been trying to restore my history so if I owe I was pay. But XXXX capital management had a representative call my phone. When I ask for verification of the debt thats where it got out of hand. I was told they he was a lawyer which is a lie and that he did n't need to send me any info about the debt at all. Which scared me I recently had my bank info stolen. So i was a little unsure about just giving out my info. I wanted some simple paperwork to prove this person is legit. He got highly upset and ask if I had a lawyer because if not I will need one. I think it was a scar tactic. My I repeat he said he was with a law firm and not a collector. And that I wanted simple paperwork to be mail to me that is all. But no he hung up in my face. That after me threaten me to get a lawyer. I had no problems paying. I did a little resource may I add they called from a local number so I was scar at that. I try to google the number no businesses came up at all. I got even more scared. I thought somebody was trying to get into my bank info again. So I called the same number from another phone. It sent me to a operator. She told me it was alliant and they was trying to collect a debt. She ask who I was talk to. I could n't remember his name. She went me or I ask to be sent to a different person. I also google they and found a New York address and phone number. I called and got in touch with somebody. I told me it was alliant and ask for my name and that they was contacted to collect on a debt. I and to do all of that to verify the source was right. When the person who contacted me could have told me this. So I spoke to a rep. He insured that they are a debt collector and not a lawyer office. I told him that another rep said he was a lawyer. I guess he thought I was lying or he was trying to cover for his co-worker. I came to a settlement. I had no problem in doing so. I issue is the first rep misrepresented himself. I guess trying to scar me into paying. He was aggressive and hot tempted. And not willing to listen to he and trying to degrade me over the phone. I want the taped conversation of the first rep so I can pursue legal matters. He did n't have to lie about who he was I was at work and could n't talk I got confused and scared. I just had my bank info hacked. And some random number called and say do you have a lawyer well get one. If you do n't pay you need a lawyer. Like I was supposed to say well here is all my bank info. All I wanted was some simple paperwork. Or somebody that had a nicer and more calm attitude so we could resolve the issue. He stated I do n't need to give you any info at all I am a lawyer. I called the local non-emergency number because I was scared. I thought somebody was trying to steal my info. I did n't know what to do.

Complaint sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

A company verbally told me a lesser fee *much smaller than they charged ( XXXX vs XXXX ) and gave no receipt, operates under no real name and has had a lot of these complaints over the past two years. 
I made two purchases in their store ( same day and time ) and one XXXX blocked them from the overcharge, and carefully researched and allowed my dispute, the second Discover Card did not. 

One researched carefully ( XXXX ) one did not ( discover ) or I wouldn't have two different outcomes on same fraudulent activities. 

Discover told me they were provided a signed receipt, I argue this is a fraudulent receipt because I didn't sign one.

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

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I need your help with one of my accounts that is not reporting on two of the credit  reporting agencies. I have attached the payment history showing my mortgage history and that I'm still paying on it. I have asked the bureaus to contact XXXX so that it can report but I don't know where the problem is. I was able to get the payment history directly for which I attached so I don't know why they aren't reporting. I know that XXXX does report to the bureaus. I just really need them to add this to my report at least for the last 2 years payments. Any help your company can provided would be greatly appreciated.
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

I have had the XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX. Id kept the balance very low. They sent us promotional checks with 0 % APR for 12-18 months. I used one of these checks for a home improvement project. In the next statement I saw a fee for {$290.00} as balance transfer fee. When I called customer service and pointed out thered been no balance transfer they basically stone walled me an insisted that I was not being charged interest. This is clearly misleading promotion. Is should point out that XXXX XXXX sold their credit card business to Elan Financial services.
Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

XXXX Please reference this case. 

There are a lot of misinformation given. After receiving your decision I called back Nelnet to get a better understanding of what happened in case I just was n't understanding. 

-The response on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX said that my per Diem was {$14.00} but when I called Nelnet the adviser told me my per Diem had gone up to {$14.00} and said that the report given to CFPB was not accurate. Same day response. 

-When I switched to a traditional payment plan they steered me to forbearance for over 30 days to allow the system to process and raised my back due interest to {$1700.00} as of XXXX XXXX. My payment will be {$530.00} which of that {$440.00} was going to be the interest portion and the rest was principle. I said I intended to pay {$600.00} per month and they informed me that any money above and beyond had to pay the back interest of {$1700.00} which means it will take me 2.5 years approximately to pay off that interest they steered me towards. 

I feel like I 'm in this situation due to them steering me toward the forbearance. 

That 's my issue
