Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

I received a call, yesterday, from a representative, XXXX, from Capital One Auto Finance. She proceeded to ask personal information so I could verify the account. I am currently awaiting the title on a loan payoff and my ex husband has been trying to get information. After I verified the information, as my account has a block on it since XXXX XXXX, 2015, I asked if my ex has been trying to get information. At that time, XXXX informed me that my ex, XXXX XXXX, was on the line with us. I was furious that this representative had allowed my personal information and block information to be available to XXXX XXXX. I ended the call and proceeded to call COAF and request to speak with a manager. After nearly an hour of waiting, and several calls ( after being disconnected ), I was able to speak with XXXX, a representative in the " President 's Office '' department. She was apologetic, after reading file where clearly states that XXXX XXXX is to be blocked from any and all information. She said she would listen to call and get back to me. XXXX called at the time she promised. She was upset that the representative had done exactly as I had said. She also listened to a few of prior calls, starting with call on XXXX/XXXX/15 where I put the block on the account. She noted that XXXX XXXX had tried several times to gain information and was denied. She was unsure why XXXX had given the information out. 
I was extremely agitated and full of anxiety. There is a history of violence with XXXX XXXX and my information was private for a reason. 
I obtained the information to write a letter, XXXX XXXX, President, at above referenced address. 
The representatives I spoke with are XXXX-ID # XXXX, XXXX, ID # XXXX, and XXXX, ID # XXXX. 
It was necessary for me to contact my medical doctor for instructions on medication to calm me down. I am, still, this morning, quite anxious and in fear. 
I have filed this complaint with the FDIC and I will take further action in contacting NJ Division of Banking and Insurance ( XXXX ) and an attorney. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Advertising and marketing — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (WY)

I applied for a XXXX XXXX Visa Signature credit card in XXXX. At that time, they advertised the card as offering a " Bonus Award Night ''. This means on award stays of XXXX+ nights credit card holders receive XXXX XXXX free. Less than two weeks after my application, this benefit was canceled starting XXXX XXXX. There are other, smaller, changes as well. All of this took place in less than three months after receiving my card and paying the annual fee. 

I have not even had the chance to earn the points promised to me for hitting minimum spend requirements of {$2500.00} before the benefits associated with such points have been taken. In short, I feel US Bank was deceptive with their advertising and dramatically reduced promised benefits with such little advance warning as to make the situation resemble a bait-and-switch offer.

I was reported late by Discover Card to the reporting agencies for XXXX and XXXX as XXXX days late for each month, but I was not allowed to change my billing date to accommodate my monthly federal payment date of the XXXX of the month ( which can post as late as XXXX of the month ). I got behind in XXXX and did not make a full payment trying to finish the larger high school tuition payments for my daughter and pay for her college acceptance monies that all took place in XXXX and XXXX XXXX payment was made every month typically the XXXX of the month and based on the online discover website. I paid a huge XXXX monthly payment over XXXX payments {$150.00} ( XXXX ) and {$330.00} ( XXXX ). Now, the discover representative told me today that I have no payment due in XXXX! The balance minimums due in the online system were for XXXX and XXXX? And, they reported me late for XXXX after paying what was asked of {$480.00}. They refused to change my billing payment date until today to the XXXX of each month so the cycle billing date would align me the way I asked for it to do in XXXX. My credit has been adversely affected for the first time in XXXX plus years as I have not been late in the past. AND, I did make payments each month, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The representative did not care that I have been a good customer and always made my payments. And, that somehow I got caught in a billing cycle mess that I just now was able to get out of. BUT, to report me and then say you do not owe a payment for XXXX after all of these payments and report me late XXXX days for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I told the representative that I would still make my payment on XX/XX/XXXX regardless that her system shows no balance due because I make monthly payments. Please help me to get this credit issue fixed if you can.

In spite of writing all explanation XXXX collection agency ( and provided all documents ) reported to credit bureaus I think it is not ethical because collection agency should investigate XXXX. I thought collection agency would investigate to find out what is the truth. It is not fair to report to credit bureaus without conducting investigation. What kind of protection consumers have? Is it fair to consumer to suffer because provided wrong information or it is it by law that collection agency destroy any body 's reputation? Is it not responsibility of collection agency to report its finding? 

Is not consumer protection agency main function to protect consumer?

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XX/XX/XXXXdays since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

I was told there were no way to pull the call despite there being a call log. This a bait and switch on their part and apart of fraudulent business activities.
