Offer Bonus trap. Unfair Membership Reward Points deduction from American Express Company!!! 
It used to be a good company for American Express but not anymore. Here is the story. I have XXXX American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX Card which was applied on XXXX/XXXX/2016 due to a promotion offer to get XXXX Membership Reward points after spending {$3000.00} within 3 months. I quickly fulfilled the spending requirement by using the card a lot ( spent about $ XXXX in purchasing items within the promotion period ). So obviously I hit the line quickly and gained the bonus. However on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ( after 3 months ) I noticed that there was a deduction activity happened on my Reward Account that removed XXXX points silently without my attention. I was very confused where this activity came from and thought it was a fraud. So I quickly called the Amex customer service and tried to find out what happened. Surprisingly I was told that it was a decision from Amex after an internal review which I was n't aware of. I asked the reason why there was a review and the customer service explained that there was XXXX transaction on my account that was not qualified to get the bonus points and after the recalculation they decided to remove XXXX bonus points ( it is supposed to be XXXX points, please do a careful review also!! ) since I did n't hit the {$3000.00} threshold from their calculation. I explained it is supposed to be a mistake ( A big mistake )!!! I spent $ XXXX by using the card. The ineligible transaction was only about {$2500.00}. Even excluding that transaction I still should meet the spending requirement. So I further requested the customer service to review my account again since there is a question on the review. However I was told that they could n't help. The review is not allowed to be reopened since it has been done already even there is a mistake on it!!! What a stupid excuse it is!!! I just lost XXXX points because of a careless review which is unable to be fixed? That sounds NOT right to a premium customer and it is not a good service that a financial company is supposed to be having. I am paying {$470.00} premium a year for the product but could n't get any good quality services?? What a joke! The experience I had is totally a market phishing. I am feeling I am cheated and once you cheated your customer and do n't expect the trust anymore from them. I will quit and please do the right things at least and give my points back!!
i have over {$400.00} dlrs in overdraft fees. Prior to this problem i had checked my account and had a small balance of {$17.00} dlrs ( about ) and that was on a Friday, about tues of the following week i checked my account and was already over {$300.00} dlrs overdrawn. I called the bank explain to them that my account was ok on Friday and a few days later was overdrawn more then {$400.00} dlrs and i had not used my debit card since the {$17.00} balance, i was told that my balance was not accurate because they do not post every transaction therefore it causes the overdrafts and that i had no choice but to pay.
Equifax continues to report inaccurate information on my credit file after multiple attempts to have them correct the inaccuracies. I have sent Equifax via certified mail multiple disputes along with supporting documentation for the items that i am disputing. They also have violated multiple consumer protection laws by stating that they verified the accounts when in reality all they did was parrot information given to them from other sources and then they advise me to contact the original creditor, shifting the burden back on me which is a violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). Equifax has ignored multiple requests in my disputes as i have asked for the documents that they reviewed in order to conclude their investigation. The fact they continue to ignore this request is proof that they did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they claim they did. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA Equifax is required to " ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' It is my understanding that the FCRA allows me to dispute items that are inaccurate, untimely, misleading, biased, incomplete or unverified. CFPB, i seek your assistance with this as Equifax seems to be consistently taking advantage of consumers.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX U.S.C. XXXX I have the right to demand that Credit Bureau 's disclose to me all of the documents that they have recorded and retained in their file at the time of a request concerning the accounts that they are reporting in my credit report. I requested copies of the documents that they have in their files that were used to verify them. 

If they do not have any documentation in their files to verify the accuracy of these disputed accounts then they should delete them immediately as required under XXXX XXXX XXXX a ) ( XXXX XXXX ( A ) ( i ). By publishing these inaccurate and unverified items on my credit report and distributing them to XXXX parties they are damaging my reputation and credit worthiness.
I bought a home in XXXX of XXXX. Because my bonus was paid a week after the closing date, I had to get PMI as I did not put down 20 %. Almost immediately, I requested from the mortgage originator the figure to pay the mortgage to the 80/20 split and have the PMI removed. After one month, my mortgage was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I tried writing to them twice to the PMI removed. Nothing. I wrote a complaint to CFPB and they immediately sold the mortgage loan so as not to have to deal with CFPB. The mortgage was sold for the third time in XXXX of XXXX to SLS ( Specialized Loan Servicing ).  Beginning in XXXX of XXXX and through the present, I have written three letters requesting that PMI be removed, agreeing to pay the balance to bring the LTV to 80/20 and providing comps from a realtor providing updated values for my home. The value of the home has increased at least {$30000.00} due to a variety of factors. What have i received from SLS? The same form letter over and over again stating that I needed an appraisal that would cost between $ XXXX and refusing to answer how they calculate the value of my home or LTV. I have also called and received the same response. At this time, I am seeking the following : 1. ) removal of PMI immediately 2. ) reimbursement of the last six months of PMI while I was jerked around by SLS. 3. ) any fines or penalties applicable to the conduct of SLS such as Unfair Trade Practices or Consumer Fraud. I would also be happy to join in a class action or serve as a witness in a state or Federal inquiry/investigation of this Company
XXXX XXXX imoosed pay over time fees to a personal credit card when in fact I paid the card in full. They added late fees and reported 30 and 60 day late pay to the credit agencies. They have resolved the issue by crediting my account but I still have the late credit shown on my report.
I used Discover Student Loans to take out a bar loan to sign-up for a bar prep course. I have been making monthly, on-time payments on the loan for over 2 years. The balance of the loan has actually gone up rather than going down, as one would suppose would happen. After researching the issue, I realized that Discover 's minimum payment amount was broken down in such a way as to ensure that the interest will always be XXXX times higher than the principal - high enough to ensure that the balance of the loan remained the same or slightly ticked up through the duration of the " repayment '', thus ensuring that the loan would never be paid off by simply applying minimum payments. All of this means that at 7 % interest, if one were to pay off the loan by making double monthly payments, that I would pay double the amount of the loan, and that Discover would make a 100 % profit on a loan that is at 7 %. 

This practice is beyond the pale of decency and is incredibly unethical. These are effectively usury loan terms and your agency needs to become involved in making sure that individuals who are simply trying to better themselves and do n't have parents or others to contribute to their education are not left " holding the bag '' because financial services companies are allowed to exploit their dominant market positions. 

I would be more than happy to discuss my case with a member of your agency. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX Tel. XXXX
I received a XX/XX/XXXX letter from IC System, regarding a debt turned over to them by XXXX, noted as the original and current debtor. As both a current and former XXXX customer, I was unfamiliar with the account number listed on the letter. 

I then contacted XXXX customer service today, XX/XX/XXXX, and an online agent confirmed that a previously-closed account was showing a past due balance for equipment not returned ; however, further review of the account showed notation that the equipment was, in fact, previously received by XXXX in XXXX. There was no further statement by the representative why the amount due remained on the account, or why it was referred to collections only now. 

The representative indicated that the account would be noted, but was otherwise vague as to what would happen regarding my old account apart from reference to a " ticket. '' There was no indication how an account with no actual outstanding payments or obligations would go " live '' insofar as debt owed, and why that was not vetted before referral to a debt collector.
My wife and I do all of our banking through Commerce Bank and have for 20+ years. We have multiple accounts held with Commerce, including a savings account that was setup many years ago for one of our children. Given that my child is a minor, my wife was/is setup as the custodial on his account. We placed roughly {$1000.00} in the account many years ago and have left it alone as a savings account for our child.

We receive the monthly statements on the account. After reviewing the most recent statement, we discovered that the entire balance was unknowingly transferred to the state of Missouri. We received no correspondence whatsoever before this action was taken ( no email, letters, or phone calls ). Commerce Bank simply decided that because there hadn't been any activity on the account for some time that they would just send all funds to the state without providing us any notice. 

I'm very upset about this. Our address was correct on the account and we have been long-time loyal customers of Commerce. Further, all of our other accounts were actively being used, so Commerce had all of our current contact info on file. Finally, at no time were we contacted before this ridiculous action was taken.

When I called, I was told " sorry, that's just the normal process when an account goes dormant and we can not locate you ''. Yet, Commerce was not able or willing to provide a copy of any of the correspondence that they supposedly sent to us regarding the dormant account. 

As a result, I now have to go through the state of Missouri 's process to get my own money back, likely incurring fees. 

I think it's only fair that the money that was sent to the state be placed back into my account and that I be compensated for my time and hassle of what appears to be a very poor practice by a well respected community bank.
I applied for my free credit report thru your website in XX/XX/XXXX. I was immediately refused due to the fact that your website provided unclear and illegible information and there fore trans union was unable to determine the nature of my request. I have now received my THIRD turn down and request for the exact same information I have sent XXXX times already. I sent XXXX pieces of govt id and a utility bill. I believe that they are XXXX off because I blacked out the account number as I feel that my name and address being on the bill is enough information, they do n't need the account number for anything other than skip tracing. They claim that all those pieces were unacceptable because they were any XXXX of XXXX different reasons. They still claim that my id I sent them is illegible and furthermore I also requested reports on the bureaus own form as well as your forms and a personal letter request from me personally. I believe trans union is merely trying to gleen more information to put in my file to benefit from me. Trans union 's insistance to refuse to give me a copy of the derogatory information they have been selling to others and true and accurate information is a fraud. They know that I am XXXX with an incurable XXXX and they are discriminating against me. They have also denied report to my XXXX husband and XXXX daughter for exactly the same reasons and for XXXX times for each of us. They are intentionally discriminating against my whole family. The intentional derogatory actions of trans union has unfairly harmed my self and my family. I do have an attorney for seniors who I 've talked to who is willing to pro bono sue trans union. credit unions can be sued and they have the bucks the attorneys know about. Please help me get my ctrue corrected credit reports immediately so that I can find a comfortable place to live thru the remainder of my XXXX. Credit unions have been pulling this for years on the consumer when will the govt impose serious enforced regulations again the credit bureaus? Thanks
I monitor my close closey everyday. Ive set up alerts on my account to notify me each time a transaction has been posted, debited, withdrawn & or credited my account. I submitted a claim for unauthorized charges on my account & called my bank to cancel the card. As of XX/XX/2018 they have charged me NSF in the amount of {$110.00} incorrectly. I called to file a complaint the representative could not explain if the transactions were accurate in which they were not. twice they have also returned checks when I had over 4K in my checking account. This is theft & needs to be investigated. The integrity of this bank is questionable as well. When I call after authenticating myself they still ask me for my full social security number, my driver license number, & DOB, & the security code on the back of my debit card. I do not trust this process & make me afraid I will become a victim of ID THEFT
I have 11 inquiries on my report that are a result of ID theft. All these inquires showed on on my report in XX/XX/XXXX with out my knowledge or consent. I need to have these items removed immediately. I have file complaints with the FTC and local law enforcement in relation to this issue.
I had returned my equipment and cancelled my cable service in XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX Enhanced Recovery reported a collection for {$120.00}. I was informed it was from a past due and equipment non return. I contacted XXXX XXXX they proceeded to find the equipment. While I dispute the bill as I know I paid in full, I paid XXXX 90.00 and there remains a zero balance on the account. Enhanced Recovery is continuing to report an unpaid collection account for {$120.00}

I disputed my negative accounts with Equifax. They deleted my accounts that were in good standing in the process. I then called customer service to request that the good items be put back on my credit report. They said that they would n't do it and were very rude to me on the phone. They deleted over 10 years worth of my credit history.
XX/XX/18 Credit score was increased to XXXX good standing PER EMAIL BY EXPERIAN XX/XX/18 Credit score same score XXXX PER EMAIL BY EXPERIAN XX/XX/18 XXXXredit score deceased XXXX DROPPED 16 POINTS Called Experian XX/XX/18 talked to customer service, dispute, fraud department and each representative- INITIATED STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ANSWERS.

Thank you.
For the past two years, I have been trying to get items that do not belong to me removed off of my Equifax and XXXX credit reports. With XXXX, in order to dispute items on my report, I have to go through the process of contacting their customer service center in order to get rid of items that do not belong to me, but when the results come back, these items most times would never disappear, and it they do disappear, they would reappear within a month or so. With Equifax, I would have to dispute the items that do not belong to me through XXXX XXXX, but recently, when I choose to dispute these items, I am rerouted to Equifax 's website, where they ask for my personal information. Once I enter in the personal information, then I'm asked a series of questions that pertain to accounts that I may or may not have. Once those questions are answered, the window would state that Equifax is unable to process my request at this time, and I'm unable to check previous dispute results because of the same reason. Equifax and XXXX are making my life a living XXXX with keeping items on my credit reports that are not mine as well as OLD items ( 10 years old or older ) on my credit reports that are not mine. On the XXXX report, there's an item that does not belong to me that appears TWICE on the report. I need for these items that do not belong to me to be removed once and for all.
I have been called 5 times since Monday, XXXX XXXX 2017 by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have no account associated with my name or phone number, but they continue to call anyways. I have requested to be placed on their do not call list 3 times, the first request being over 48 hours ago ( on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX 2017 ) and they are still calling my phone. The most recent call was today, Thursday, XXXX XXXX at XXXX.
Equifax failed to provide adequate security and protection for sensitive information that could impact my financial life for decades.
I have been trying to prove that XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to collect on a debt that is uncollectable. Because the debt is Unverifiable accordingly to the FCRA. If a debt is unverifiable and the original credit is not trying to collect the debt and has not hired a collection company to collect the debt. Then it can not be collected in my case I use to stay at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I moved out of the complex and the owners XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the property and handed all old account over to the new owners. So, they had no obligation after the sell of the property to collect the debt. The new owners which is XXXX XXXX XXXX has not hired any debt collectors to collect on this debt. So, therefore XXXX XXXX XXXX has not right to try and collect on a debt that they have not been hired for by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Nor should they be able to collect on a debt in which XXXX XXXX XXXX is not trying to collect after the sale of the commercial property. I have a audio recording with me XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX my personal consultant, and XXXX XXXX XXXX employee talking about the collection efforts on this debt. Also, I have a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating they are not trying to collect on this debut. I have a case file already on XXXX XXXX XXXX but they know their company is in violation of my rights so they want talk with my personal consultant about this debt anymore. They will not answer back to the CFPB case I file on them already. So, I want to deal directly with the Credit Bureau 's myself in removing this debt off my credit report.
I have been try to get modification done by bayview loan company I been in touch with lady by name of XXXX XXXX but after talking to her a few weeks ago I have heard anything else about my paper work been filed or sent up to review board I been trying to reach her but no response I also call on monitor talk to a supervisor but they hang up the phone on me I need help try to get some answers from them. Can you please help me thank you XXXX XXXX
My loan was placed in deferment in XX/XX/XXXX, and will come out of deferment XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/XXXX, and Wells Fargo has been calling me ( I have not answered ) and my dad, the co signer, harassing us about the loan. It's not due. My account says I currently owe {$0.00}. This has been going on my entire time of having this loan with them, since XXXX, and I am tired of it. I was in school from XXXX until now. In the past I have spoken to them about the harassment and today I sent them another message to stop calling unless the loan is actually due.
I have been repeatedly called by XXXX XXXX. regarding a debt that they say I owe to U.S Bank on an account they say was opened on XX/XX/2006. XXXX states that I owe {$1600.00}. I have told them each time they call me that I do not owe them or U.S. Bank anything, that I am on XXXX XXXX and that I will not pay them a dime on a debt that I do not owe. XXXX representatives have bullied me, threatened me, stated they will sue me, and refuse to cease and desist calling my telephone. I have checked my credit reports with 3 different credit bureaus at least once a year since XX/XX/2006 and there has never been an account with U.S Bank shown as in collection or delinquent on any of them. Frankly, I am tired of this company 's threats. Today, I finally told their representative that if they believe they can sue me for a debt that I do not owe, they should do so and stop calling me. The XXXX rep did her best to scare and intimidate me and has repeatedly lied to try to get me to pay a debt that I am not responsible for paying. I want it to stop!
There is an account being reported on my Equifax credit report as an OPEN account in collections. The account has a {$0.00} balance and was discharged in Bankruptcy yet is still being reported as OPEN. This should be a closed account. The following is showing on my EQUIFAX Credit Report : Agency : XXXX XXXXOriginal Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2011Status : Open
TD Bank provided me XXXX different visa debit cards for the same business account. In trying to obtain help on which to use, TD Bank had me on hold for over 15 minutes, playing advertising continuously the entire time, which means that it was not even possible to turn down the volume and wait for a voice. Also, no call back option. They have proven themselves the opposite of their slogan " America 's Most Convenient Bank '' and have egregiously wasted my time.
TJ Maxx delays crediting payments up to 21 days. I made payment on XXXX XXXX, 2016, money was take out form my account right away but the payment was not credited to my credit card yet. when I called TJ Maxx yesterday, i.e. XXXX XXXX, customer service told me that it takes 21 days to credit my account despite they took money right away. Is it the legal practice? No other credit card I have delays my payments.
Hi, I noticed that Paypal is engaging in a deceptive practice and I wanted to bring it to your attention. If you make a payment on a retailers website, for example -- I purchased a television on XXXX, the money is withdrawn from whatever credit card or debit card you have connected to your Paypal account. 

However, if and when the merchant refunds you, for example, you return a television to XXXX paypal does NOT refund you, it keeps the money within its own system and says that you have a " positive '' paypal balance. Why are they holding on to my money? Paypal is not a consumer bank! I have no idea how to get Paypal to give me my money back, they should not be holding on to it. It 's deceptive and unfair.
