This is, in regards, to the unfair practices completed by Best Buy. When a customer makes a 6 months no interest purchase with Best Buy, it may sound like a good deal until ... .We made several payments on the purchase. As a matter of fact, we paid over the amount of the promotional purchase. This is what Best Buy financing company does unbeknownst to customers. They do n't apply the payments to the promotional purchase to reduce the interest or show the promotional purchase as paid off. When I called them about this, they stated, " I had to notify the finance company how I wanted the payments applied. '' My thoughts were I over paid the amount I owed for such purchase, but because there were other purchases on the account they stated the payments were made on those purchases instead of the promotional balance. This unethical practice cost me a lot of money in finance charges. Best Buy tries to purposely squeeze money out of consumers unexpectedly.
A company named XXXX is harassing myself, my husband and my parents, claiming that my husband owes XXXX to Bank of America from 2004. They have threatened to take him to jail, they said theres warrants for his arrest, they call from several numbers from different states in USA. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and he was unprofessional, says they legally do not have to provide original documentation for debt, and said he bought the debt on a spreadsheet for pennies and is going to sell our information to someone else. He knew my name, address, license number, dob, etc. He said the calls are not going to stop no matter what you do. They refuse to stop harassing us even when I have stated this is not a valid debt, and have requested original documentation to show validity of the debt.
XXXX American Express called asking for someone that is NOT ME to collect a debt. I told them they have the wrong information and hung up. 
XX/XX/18 American Express left a voicemail requiring a call back from the same individual, whom is NOT ME. 
XX/XX/18 American Express left a voicemail requiring a call back from the same individual, whom is NOT ME. 
XX/XX/18 American Express left a voicemail requiring a call back from the same individual, whom is NOT ME. 
XX/XX/18 I called American Express using the number they called from XXXX, I informed them again that they have the wrong phone number and person listed and I have not had any contact or connection with the person they are asking about in years. They said that we would need to contact the person because they listed our phone number a year and a half ago. I told them that I have no connection to them and they need to stop harassing me for a debt that does not belong to me. I am a loyal customer of American Express myself, and I am very upset that they are continuing to harass me when I pay off my balance every month, so they need to remove my # from this other person 's account. Also told him that it is fraud and illegal for them to take down my information and place it on another person 's account in the first place! The person on the phone told me there was nothing he could do and hung up on me.
My husband and I took out a joint loan for a XXXX XXXX ' XXXX. After two weeks, I discovered that I was mislead and told false information to get me to purchase the timeshare which is considered illegal. After about 1 year of complaints, and time and money spent on a lawyer, XXXX XXXX agreed to take back there timeshare and stated in a contract that I will not be financially responsible for any late payments or maintenance fees. My husband and I have now disputed our credit file for the past 3 years trying to get our credit file to get this account removed or updated to have the past due payments removed off our account. I am not liable for any past due payments due to the signed agreement, therefore no late payments should have been reported on my account. I never paid this account late, I was told by my lawyer that XXXX XXXX canceled my account so I stopped paying believe everything was settled and complete. But I never received any documents from XXXX XXXX so I finally had to make complaint with BBB against XXXX XXXX, then I finally received a verbal and written letter that our loan and contract was canceled and that we will be no longer be liable for any past due and future obligations. We had to sign and notarize the letter. I have provided several documents of proof to Experian over the past 3 years and I always get the same answer regarding the dispute, file is reporting accurately. But it is not. When you call Experian, you either get a dial tone, someone who doesn't understand or you get transferred and sit on hold for hours. I would like the CFPB to please investigate my dispute with Experian, I just really need help in this matter. Our credit is being destroyed because of this one invalid negative item on our credit files.
I was a young naive XXXX XXXX XXXX. I attended XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. At all of these institutions I was encouraged to take the maximum amount of both federal and student loans and do not have a degree. At XXXX I was encouraged to take the maximum amount allowed on both federal and private by a Financial loans Specialist named XXXX. She would ask for money for helping us get the most money we could. We all would get at least XXXX XXXX dollars after loans payments were disbursed. This was happening for a high number of us attending the location in XXXX TN. I am now XXXX old no degree and over XXXX in federal and private student loans.
After hurricane Irma I was given forbearance on my home loan for 90 days with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   At the end of the 90 days I was contacted by XXXX XXXX that I was expected to pay in full the past 90 days or the house would be foreclosed on. They have also sent to the credit bureau that I was in default and it is affecting my credit score. 
I have been paying my mortgage payment every month and I'm still being threatened with foreclosure. I was told by XXXX XXXX when I signed up for forbearance that the missed payments would be applied on the back end of the home loan and I would keep my same monthly payments.
We paid our mortgage payment over the phone and the rep applied a different amount to another person 's account out of my bank account! Then they called to let me know that our payment had n't been made. My mortgage payment was {$690.00}, they took {$1200.00} out of my bank account causing my bank account to overdraft and incurring {$140.00} in bounced check fees. I called numerous times and got the run around several times until I threatened criminal charges. The rep even lied to me stating the recording said my husband agreed to {$1200.00}. I was the one who figured out they applied it to another Nationstar account number. Then she back peddled and finally agreed to give us back the {$530.00} and I told her she needed to give us the {$140.00} in bounced check fees as well and she said she might be able to give me XXXX fee. I said no, she would give me all plus any more that would occur due to her delay. She refunded me the {$530.00} plus {$140.00} but in the delay in getting the funds, another {$64.00} was added in fees to my bank account. I faxed the bank statement to her and phoned her twice and left messages with absolutely no response in over a week. It 's only {$64.00} but it was n't our fault, it was Nationstar 's screw up. We want our money back!
I have contacted Equifax via telephone, fax and certified mail. Stating to them that several of the inquiries on my report were not authorized by me. I started my disputes with them in XX/XX/2017. I have even received letters from several of the disputing companies, stating that they did have my permission to authorize the inquiries and they stated that they would have them removed from my credit file. I have explained this to equifax reps and they still refuse to take them off my credit file. 

I recently spoke with a equifax rep and she tried to walk me through entering an online dispute so that I could instantly upload my docs. After SEVERAL attempts, the upload page would not come up ( this puzzled the rep and she stated she do n't know why that page was n't working ). It would n't come up for me or her! I tried again today and that page still wo n't come up. I have been trying to fax them again for the last two weeks and my fax 's keep getting rejected. I am tired of begging them to remove these items from my credit ... I simply want the unauthorized items removed.
I am writing to exercise my right to request verifiable proof of the negative events you have listed within my credit file. The 15 U.S. Code 1681g - Disclosures to consumers requires CRA 's to disclose the sources of information regarding the negative events that are being reported by your agency upon request by the consumer. THIS IS NOT A DISPUTE. 

1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reports Pay 31-60 Days 2. Judgement by XXXX 3. XXXX Inquiry 4. XXXX Inquiry 5.

If you are unable to provide such proof within that time frame, I expect these negative events to be removed.! Please communicate your intentions in writing.!

I have sent multiple disputes to Transunion, requesting they validate and verify accounts within my credit file. I sent a dispute on XX/XX/2018 requesting validation and verification persuant to the Fair Credit Report Act Federal Law 15 U.S.C. 1681. This law states that my credit file must contain 100 percent accurate information. There is no way to tell if the information within my file is accurate if I am not given evidence or verification of the accounts when requested. Sending a copy of an itemized bill IS NOT verification of a personal debt. Verification must be a contractual agreement between myself and the creditor furnishing the information to my credit file. Transunion repeatedly ignores federal law and has never provided me with such evidence of the validation or verification of the debts I have requested.
On XX/XX/2018 I called Equifax and spoke with two different reps. At first I spoke with XXXX, and then I spoke with XXXX who is in the fraud department. Equifax does not provide call reference numbers, I was advised to use my dispute confirmation number which I have XXXX, and also XXXX. I disputed two fraudulent accounts on my credit report. One for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and also XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am a victim of identity theft and fraud. I filed a police report with my local police department which is XXXX Police department, and I also filed a identity theft affidavit with the federal trade commission. Someone has being using my social to get goods and services. I sent over the police report as well as the identity theft affidavit to the credit bureaus. Equifax removed this account and then reported it back again the very next day. now Equifax is refusing to remove these items back off from my report. they are also refusing to provide me with the information that was used to verify that this account belongs to me. Why is it so easy for someone to use my information and damage my credit and my life but extremely hard to rectify the situation? especially when I have PROOF that I did not open these accounts. I never opened up a loan with this company, as a matter of fact I've never even purchased an auto since I've lived here in Texas, nor have I ever had XXXX XXXX which is the XXXX account. This is so sad and completely unfair.
XXXX from Suntrust shared my information with multiple financing companies who have pulled my credit report without my authorization but they claim it was with SunTrust authorization.
I had my student loan set up as auto pay and within the last 3 months started receiving daily phone calls from Navient that my student loan payment was 1 year past due. The person who I spoke with said that they had allocated the wrong amount of the payment to the XXXX separate loans. They told me that I owed {$360.00} and then the next customer rep told me that I owe {$570.00}. He told me on XX/XX/2017 that there is XXXX loan that is 60 days past due and I needed to pay that now ( {$130.00} ) so it does not affect my credit so I did and then he told me that XXXX of the loans are now 30 days past due and I will have to pay them on Monday XX/XX/2017. I 'm still receiving numerous calls from them at all hours. I just received a call at XXXX and they call me on Sundays. I logged on to my Navient account on- line and it indicates that I only owe {$330.00} for all the loans. I am not getting any correct information and I am very confused as what is happening. Could you please assist me with this matter. 
XXXX XXXX
I sent {$400.00} to someone through XXXX by XXXX on Sunday, XX/XX/2018. The email the money was sent to is XXXX. This persons phone number is XXXX. Maybe an hour or so later that same night I realized my mistakeI didnt not want to send this person $ XXXXand requested they refund me the money back. They told me in writing they would refund me my money by Wednesday, XX/XX/2018 and did not do so. Ive come into contact with numerous other people who have been scammed out of money when trying to buy concert tickets by this same person. All of us ( including myself ) who have contacted our banks have gotten the same responsetheres nothing they can do about it. My bank is Chase. If theres any way this person who scammed me and so many others out of hundred of dollars can be tracked down and held accountable that would be amazing but Ive quickly lost all faith in XXXX and the banks that support it. All I want is a refund of my {$400.00}. I realize its not Chases fault, but at the same time I feel I was mislead in regards to the nature of XXXX and the utter lack of protection associated. As a result, I am strongly considering withdrawing what little money I have left and leaving Chase Bank. Im very upset about this entire situation and just want a little bit of justice. The lesson Im taking from this terrible experience : never use XXXX, especially if the recipient of your money is not personally known.
I have been back and forth with Transunion not reporting my true accurate credit report by continuing to report unauthorized inquiries on my credit file. This has been causing me stress and anxiety for several months. I have contacted the company regarding these unauthorized inquiries and have not heard back from them. Transunion is obviously refusing to help correct this problem. When I was first made aware of this issue I immediately had a fraud alert placed on my file but obviously this does not help either. The following unauthorized inquiries being reported are : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX. Transunion is violating my rights by continuing to report these unauthorized inquiries and this is also an FCRA violation.. The only outcome is for Transunion to immediately delete these unauthorized inquiries and send me an updated corrected copy of my credit report with these deletions. Transunion is clearly not out to help the consumer. Also, I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER RESPONSE OTHER THAN A DELETION OF THESE UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES. I DEMAND THAT TRANSUNION NOT BE ALLOWED TO MOCK THE CFPB 'S AUTHORITY AND VICTIMIZE ME BY IGNORING MY RIGHTS.
Upon using XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX ( Conserve ) to consolidate my student loans, I received a letter from XXXX stating that I did not have to make any payments until XX/XX/XXXX, 2017,  and that my new payment amount would be {$740.00}. Upon receipt of this letter I called XXXX to confirm this information. My payment amount was only {$430.00} and I was told by XXXX that their records did not indicate any letter of that kind being sent out to me. 

I have uploaded a copy of this letter for your verification. Please investigate this fraud and help me prevent this from happening again. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you.
I was researching credit cards online and decided that Citi Double Cash MasterCard,  was the best one for me. I found a promotion on their website that offered me {$150.00} cashback if I spent {$500.00} on the card within the first 3 months. I applied, and when I was approved there was no mention of this promotion being attached to my account. Before spending any money on the card I called in asking about the promotion. They told me it wasn't attached to my account. So I got of the phone, found the link that I had applied through, and sent if to Citi bank over chat. They told me to call in. I called in and the supervisor said I had to print off the offer and send it to them through regular mail. I did that, waited a few weeks and called back in, and they still say I can't get the promotion. This promotion is still currently live on their website. One of the disclaimers is that you can't get it if you have ever had a Citi card in the last 2 years. I've never had this or any Citi card ever in my life.

XX/XX/XXXX we sent a letter to the credit bureau asking them for assistance on numerous problems we saw on our credit reports. It is almost 90 days later and no response. I just read an article that said they are supposed to answer in 30 days. So this is breaking the law.
I noticed a collection account with XXXX was placed on my credit report in XX/XX/2017. I was not aware of the account nor had ever done business with XXXX so I was very furious and shocked an account was placed on all XXXX credit reports without validation. I never received a dunning letter or anything from XXXX so on XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified letter asking XXXX to validate the debt. I also wrote all XXXX credit bureas asking why was this unverified unvalidated account was placed on my report. I didnt receive a response from XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX ( beyond the 30 day requested response time ) when XXXX responded the sent me a copy of some bill with my name address on it. I immediately sent XXXX another certified letter advising again, to legally validate the debt with a contract with my signature of something that says this account is me. ( I 've been a victim of identity theft in the past, note the fraud alerts on my report ). I havent received proper debt validation as of today. Meanwhile I was also communicating with the credit beauru specifically Equifax regarding this unverified account. I submitted three written notices to Equfax and called to check the status a few times. The issue is each time I communicated with Equifax the created a new dispute now totaling 5 disputes for the same case with XXXX. I finally called and spoke with a manager XXXX whom told me on XX/XX/XXXX Equifax verified the account by name social and address ( I have a recording of this call ) I explained that is not a proper MOV ( method of validation ) and they have violated my rights under the FCRA guidelines. This account is still showing on my reports and should be deleted without proper validation. In addition I mailed XXXX a letter requesting MOV on XX/XX/XXXX certified, as of today I have not received a response ( pass the 15 day time-frame. All XXXX credit beuar and XXXX have violated my rights under the act
In XX/XX/XXXX I signed up with Telephone/Internet/TV with Service Provider Name : ( XXXX XXXX ) also made a Security Deposit of at least {$150.00} which was never returned, I also contacted XXXX by telephone to discontinue service end of XX/XX/XXXX, because I was moving and also paid by bill of XXXX, XXXX which I should have received an Refund!
I am attaching the letter I sent out to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, I have not received any responses, and they were supposed to respond within 30 days.
XXXX has reported the credit bureau put me in collection for a debt that. I do n't recognize or owe them in the amount of {$2000.00} it 's on XXXX report it has affected my chances to get a house this is fraud must be removed was reported on XXXX 2013 it 's been so long on my credit report even though this is not my account nor have I ever had an account with XXXX please have this remove from my credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX Thank you
I have lease a XXXX XXXX XXXX through GM Financial on XX/XX/XXXX. I have returned the leased vehicle at the XXXX XXXX dealer at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX. phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite returning the vehicle, GM Financial continued to automatically withdraw monthly payments from my bank account. The two monthly withdrawals from my bank account of {$130.00} were made on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have repeatedly called GM Financial services on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, to try to have to improperly withdrawn funds returned to me. GM Financial indicated that I have to wait at least 90 days to receive my refund. I believe the refund should be made in a reasonable time frame as the improper withdrawals were made by mistake on the part of GM Financial.
I opened a chase checking account in 2005. After Chase proposed me an overdraft protection and sent me a credit card connected to my checking with {$1500.00} credit on that. on the same year I used it for a plane ticket and other. To avoid late payment I set up an automatic payment of {$45.00} on the due date. Since 2005 I have been paying that amount, my credit balance never went down. Last month XXXX, I decided to watch that account closely. I paid {$150.00} over. This month, XXXX, that 's exactly what I got in the available credit to use. I went online to see, I found that they cut me {$32.00} interest on purchases every month. I called them to ask them about that. Their answer suggests that it is normal. The {$32.00} interest charge can only go away if I pay their balance in full in one month. 
Concerns : -Do we use credit cards to pay them in full in one month? 
I see many of the credit cards having an APR, an annual interest percentage they cut once a year. And every month we pay some service fee of less than {$10.00}, and some transaction fees when paid over the phone. 
XXXX Paying {$32.00} interest for purchases every month. what is my APR? 
_With {$1500.00} debt, over XXXX years+, I have paid a little more than {$5000.00}, I f I continue to pay the minimum, I will pay this debt off in XXXX years they said. How much will they be getting from me? 
-I do n't think I signed for that kind of credit card. 
-They gave me this credit card with ease, telling me that it 's an overdraft protection. Now I do n't think so. I believe it is a trap to make me owe them all my life long. This is a ponzi skim to get XXXX from people.
