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

This complaint pertains to both a new Checking and Savings account with US Bank. The mailer prominently displayed " Get {$800.00} '' I responded to a mailed advertisement for a {$400.00} checking and {$400.00} savings new account promotion. The promo code was XXXX. 

I called US Bank as instructed on the document to open the correct product accounts. The customer service rep helped me open both Checking and Savings account and recited the promo code back to me to confirm. 

I met ALL stated terms on the promotion including dates, direct deposits, and minimum balances. The date by which the promotion amount should have been deposited passed with no bonuses deposited. 

I emailed customer service via email and had several exchanges. The rep helping me, XXXX XXXX, was very friendly and attempted to resolve the situation. 

Ultimately they confirmed I met all criteria, but that the code was entered incorrectly ( again, must have been by the telephone rep since it was over the phone ) and they attempted to but could not enter it correctly since the date of the promo had passed. 

Response : " I noticed the incorrect code was added to the account when it was opened so I submitted a request to have the correct promotional codes added to your accounts. It should take 2 business days to complete. '' Several exchanges later, the email rep apologized and said there was nothing they could do. 

Response : " I heard from our back office about the bonus again. They weren't able to add the bonus because the promotion is expired. I'm so sorry for any disappointment. ''
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees charged

I currently have an auto loan with Ally Financial. I am near the end of my loan and am ready to pay-off the loan. Now that I am ready to pay-off my loan, Ally has added late-fees to my loan. These 'late fees ' began in XXXX thru current. However, these fees never showed in the current balance due. When I contacted Ally for an explanation of these fees and why they were never included in my current balance due they said that as a convenience to their customers they put the late fees on the end of the loan. But as a customer it would have been easier for me to pay any late fees when I paid my car note each month instead of them accumulating any late fees thru the life of my loan and sticking them onto the end of my loan. I called Ally on XX/XX/XXXX in an attempt to pay-off my loan but the pay-off amount given online was not the same as the pay-off amount given my the CSR I spoke with at Ally. I requested that the late fees be waived since my current balance due never reflected any late fees and they Ally said that you can only request that late fees be waived once over the life of the loan and I exhausted that request in XX/XX/XXXX. But I was unaware that I had late fees so how could I request that my late fees be waived when I was unaware of any late fees on my loan? Also, my payment history shows several months of over payment of my loan but the over payment amount was never applied to the 'late fees ' on the loan.

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

I receive a copy of my credit report after both my husband and I received a call from a bill collector that we were not affiliated with. Upon further research we both seen that there was a lot of accounts and other personal info on our reports that neither one of us authorized or belong to us. I filed a police report, an identity theft report, and disputed with all three major bureaus. They still have not been removed and its been months.
Complaint sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

I have repeatedly requested that Grant & Weber provide me with an explanation of the amount they claim I owe, how that amount was calculated, account history. They have refused to provide this or any copies of documentation that this debt is in fact mine. Yet they have been willing to put this unverifiable debt on my credit report, as well as send me a continuing stream of collection letters. Please see attached.

I submitted a letter on XX/XX/XXXX regarding unknown and inaccurate information on my credit report. As of this date ( XXXX ), which is more than 60 days later, I still have not received any response.

These items should be removed at once since it has been over 60 days. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the unjust stress that it has caused me. Furthermore, my personal information was impacted by the Equifax data breach whichmay have gotten into the hands of unauthorized individuals.
