Issue: Advertising and marketing — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IL)

When I applied for this card XX/XX/2016, it 's headline feature was an offer of XXXX Frequent flyer miles on it 's affiliate, XXXX.The feature was listed in the magazine ad that induced me to apply for the card. This specific feature, {$1000.00} of spending in the first three months after card issuance would generate XXXX FF miles, was then and is now advertised in the seatback pocket of every XXXX XXXX seat of every XXXX XXXX flight. It also was and is the first listed feature on the card website, theexplorercard.com. I set about meeting the minimum spending requirement of {$1000.00} in the first three months ( {$1300.00} total on my first XXXX statements starting immediately when I received the card ). I waited a month expecting the additional XXXX frequent flyer miles to appear in my XXXX XXXX Mileage Plus. When the miles did not appear, I contacted Chase ( the card issuer ) and inquired. I was told that my account was signed up for a different offer ( XXXX FF miles for {$2000.00} of spending in the first three months ). This was not the offer I had seen in any advertising. I had asked about the XXXX mile offer when I applied for the card on the phone indicating that those were the terms of the offer I was seeing. 
As a result, even though I met the conditions of spending {$1000.00} in the first three months, I will receive no frequent flyer miles for that feature. This appears to me to be a bait and switch offer since I never saw any advertising depicting the altered terms. I let them know what offer I was seeing when I applied and the predominiant advertising still touts those terms. When I appealed, my appeal was rejected. Although, this is a annual fee card ( {$95.00} ), and I spent the required dollars ( and could have spent the {$2000.00} spending requirement if I had been properly informed ). I have no frequent flyer miles to show for my actions due entirely to bad faith on the part of Chase.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (TX)

One day My husband decided to check his credit report. He discovered that Carrington Mortgage LLc had reported late payment on our Mortgage loan on all credit Bureau 's. This caused of course a lower credit score and now months trying to clear this off our credit report. The month 's Carrington reported late payment were XXXX 2015 and XXXX 2015. I contacted Carrington to inquire about the late payment. Their answer was that it was late because the pay off was made on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Had it been on XXXX XXXX, 2015 then it would not be considered 30 days late. I submitted my XXXX dispute on all credit agencies for this to be removed for it was not accurate. They removed XXXX but not XXXX. I contacted the credit bureau 's to inquire why only XXXX was removed. They said I needed re dispute with more documents. I contacted Carrington, but the only form they provided us with was more like a statement of payments. So my only option was to contact XXXX our new Mortgage company in hopes off getting any documents showing when Carrington got paid. They provided me with the disbursement document. The document shows that XXXX paid off Carrington on XXXX XXXX, 2015 through a wire transfer. So I submitted a dispute once again. This time I attached the Disbursement document and the letter we had received from XXXX stating when they acquired our Mortgage loan which also stated it was in XXXX XXXX, 2015. In all this us as consumers have no control for there was a third party involved XXXX XXXX and it was during a refinancing period. In conclusion the documents submitted to the Credit Bureaus validates that is was never paid late. I do n't understand why Carrington insist otherwise. This has put a big scar on my husbands and my credit report. We have never been late payment on anything, ever! Not only does this affect my husbands and my credit score but most importantly career opportunities.

Company: Van Ru Credit Corporation (MI)

I have a student loan in which I have been done both consolidation and rehabilation but I defaulted again. My check was being garnished as well as my Federal Income taxes have been taken. I borrowed {$20000.00} to go to college. After defaulting on the consolildation it went up to XXXX after failing to comply with that going into default my student loan became {$39000.00}. I admit that I have not taken care of this matter as best I should have But I think my rights as a consumer is voliated when I am told by the Collecting Agency that payment that were taken by garnishment do n't really count as payment because I did not make any voluntarily payments But Van Ru has garnished by pay for over three years as well as my income taxes are being kept. I know that Van Ru is being investigated for charging outrageous interest on student loans. I know that over {$40000.00} have been paid by me either directly or taken through garnishments or taxes. I will like to know why I was told by Van Ru that there is nothing that I can do to ever come out of default with my student loans. I think that is a punishment which is to severe. I will like to know my true total that is owe to Federal Student Loan. I am trying to get out of default with my student loan, I think it is ridiculous to say that I still owe {$60000.00} in student loans when you look at my payments I have paid well over the {$20000.00}. that I have borrowed originally. I have signed up for student loan forgiveness programs and paid but I was told that I do not qualify for any programs to come out of default. There are student loans forgiveness program that are out taken consumers money..When they do not have the ability to help you. But they are charging these outrageous fees. They tell you that it is a money back guarantee. I paid an agency that promised to assist me student loan forgiveness and they just took my money. I understand that I allowed my loans to go into default. But to take my through garnishment and taxes and tell me that the payment are going towards fee charged by the agency and interest. But yet no even making a dint in the principal which is about three time what I have borrowed. How many times am I going to pay {$20000.00} that I originally borrowed. This is wrong on so many level. It is inhumane.

Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC (CA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I initiated an online Moneygram transfer of {$1000.00} for my son. In the past 2 months I have been sending him transfers with just his first and last name on the Moneygram and he has been able to pick up the money. I live in XXXX XXXX and my son attempted to pick up the money at a Moneygram location in XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. He went to at least XXXX Moneygram locations but was told he could not pick up the money because his ID did n't match. The Agent said that the Moneygram was missing his middle initial so he could not pick it up and the the policy recently changed to require the middle initial. BUT the online form says that the middle initial is optional and today it still says the middle initial is optional. On XXXX XXXX I cancelled the transaction and received a confirmation email that acknowledged the cancellation. From the date of cancellation it 's supposed to take 3 to 10 business days to receive the refunded money. I called Moneygram XX/XX/XXXX, the 10th business day because I received an email on XX/XX/XXXX saying that my transaction was cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX. I called and spoke to a supervisor named XXXX who looked into the transaction and confirmed that the cancellation date was not XX/XX/XXXX as the Moneygram email said, but XX/XX/XXXX. In the email I received yesterday, it says that I have to wait 3-10 days from XX/XX/XXXX to receive the refund. This is a deceptive practice. Now it can be up to 20 business days, or a month before I get my refund. I am complaining about the deceptive practice of requiring a middle initial - the online form does n't require it - for pick up. I am complaining about their refund process. The Customer Service agents are argumentative and do not take the time to research the issue or provide me with a proper email response. I called and emailed and my issue still has not been resolved.

They said I can go to a branch to get a bank check but they have no branches in NJ. They had no problem accepting my $ XXXX in one shot but now have a problem with me transferring it out.

Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT)

At the beginning of the 2016 tax year, specifically on XXXX/XXXX/16, I opened an HSA account with People 's United Bank ( PUB ). At the time there were paper statements, no service charge and no minimum balance requirements. During the 2016 tax year, specifically effective XXXX/XXXX/16, PUB imposed a {$1000.00} minimum balance requirement and $ 2 monthly service charges for amounts below {$1000.00} and for paper statements. I can contribute a maximum of {$4300.00} to the HSA. For any distributions the total of which exceeds {$3300.00}, a likely occurrence, I will be penalized with the $ XXXX monthly service charges. That adversely affects the supposed tax advantage of HSAs and discourages their use in violation of the public policy established by Congress.. To impose such penalties at all is unacceptable and to to so during the tax year is even more unacceptable.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ)

I received a marketing email promoting XXXX Citi Thank you points for opening a citigold checking account. Terms state that I needed to complete two billpays in two month within 60 days and spend {$750.00} in debit card purchases. After initially funding the account with {$500.00}, I scheduled online bill payments that were not processed, causing a late payment to both my citi TY premier credit card and citi Aadvantage credit card for which I did not notice until receiving late payment notice via email about 3 weeks after account was opened. It was also at this time that I tried to log back online, only to discover, that the account had been blocked and that I needed the ATM card ( never received ) in order to regain online access. When I called citibank, was told that my account needed ID verification within 30 days of opening ( which I never received a request for ) and is now being processed to be closed and no atm card could be sent out to me. I attempted to stop by a local branch and the same thing was told to me. I had XXXX pre-existing citibank credit cards that are linked to the newly opened checking account, so I am not sure why citibank claims id verification is all of a sudden needed, for which I never did receive the request for. It seems to me that the marketing email was sent to me to get me to open the account, but citibank did not allow me the ability to complete the requirements of the terms in order to get the bonus points.
