Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Problem with statement of dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I disputed an account on my credit which was investigated by the credit bureau ( Experian ) and concluded. The dispute was concluded. The Creditor company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, concluded that I owe them for early termination of the account even though I canceled the account in less than 30 days of opening and returned their credit card processing machine to them. I contended that I do not owe them since I canceled the account on time and returned their equipment to them. They insisted that I owe them and concluded the dispute. 
However, they left a dispute comment on my Experian credit as if the dispute is still active even though it has been concluded. I want them to remove and delete the " dispute comment '' from credit since it has been concluded by them after the investigation by Experian. It is holding and preventing me and my wife from our mortgage application process. The banks and mortgage companies said they can not proceed with our mortgage application with the " active dispute comment on my credit. '' I need them to remove the dispute comment only and not remove or delete the account since they insisted that I owe them. The credit bureau ( Experian ) said that it has to be removed by the creditor company since they put it there. The XXXX XXXX XXXX refused to remove it even after I requested them to do so through Experian several times. 
I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 and spoke the Account XXXX, XXXX XXXX, about removing the dispute comment. She agreed to remove it at start of our conversation. And she concluded with me that she will recommend to Experian to remove it. However when she requested that I pay the debt and I said that I could not, she became angry and probably do n't want to remove it again as she agreed to. It is on record that she initially agreed to remove it as they recorded our conversation. 
I have waited since XXXX/XXXX/15 when I spoke to her up till today XXXX/XXXX/15, ( I just spoke to her again ) and she has refused remove it. She referred me back the Experian to remove it. I called Experian again today and they insisted that the creditor has to remove it. Hence this complaint. The dispute comment has been on my credit since XX/XX/XXXX and has prevented me and my wife from proceeding with our mortgage application. We intended to buy and move into the home by now but we are being stalled by the dispute comment. 

PLEASE HELP ME AND MY FAMILY TO PREVAIL ON THE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FROM PUTING A HOLD ON OUR LIVES BECAUSE OF THE DISPUTE COMMENT ON MY CREDIT. 
Thanks. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX.

Product: Bank account or service — Cashing a check without an account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA)

I tried to cash a check written to me by my husband from his Bank of America checking account. The account had enough money to cover the check to me and the funds were available at the time I tried to cash the check. I asked for the money to be in the form of a cashiers check. BOA refused to cash the check because I do not have a BOA account ; they would not put it in the form of a cashiers check because I do not have an account. The check was for {$27000.00}. They also claimed they did n't have the funds on hand to complete the transaction. This is a very busy branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX MA. I had the check, I had identification and my husband who was traveling for business went to a BOA branch in the state he was in to have their manager call the XXXX manager. They still would not honor the check. After XXXX minutes I left to go back to work and I was out of patience anyway. My husband continued to discuss the matter with the manager of the out of state office and finally the XXXX manager said they would give me a cashiers check if I came back. I could not leave work again to make it back before they closed and I had no desire to deal with them again anyway.

Product: Debt collection — Medical
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Right to dispute notice not received
Company: Midwest Recovery Systems (MO)

Midwest Recovery Systems reported a collection debt to my XXXX Credit file on XX/XX/XXXX for {$300.00} medical bill. I never received a 30 day disclosure of any collection activity. When I called them on XX/XX/XXXX after finding out this debt was placed on my credit file by XXXX monitoring service, I was told this was a medical office debt with XXXX XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX and that the debt was sold from another collection agency ( XXXX or XXXX? ) to Midwest Recovery Systems. Midwest Recovery Systems has violated federal law by not sending me a 30 day notice to validate the collection to my address on file with XXXX. This caused my credit score to drop XXXX points and I intend seeking full restitution and damages if this is not removed from my credit file immediately. If the debt was originally occurred XX/XX/XXXX then it would make the debt 6 1/2 years ( six and half years ) old now which I knew nothing about. This is an illegal practice of debt selling and manipulation that violates the FCRA. Furthermore it can not be reported beyond 7 years. If a collection company can report to a credit bureau then they sure can pull my current address to send me a letter regarding a debt. This item needs to be removed immediately from my credit file.

Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC (VA)

PEAKS private loan is the company XXXX tech has signed me up for and they have loans that are nowhere as big as the federal loans, total amount of private and federal is over XXXX, but cost almost double what the federal loans do. When checking the interest I found it was much higher than the other federal loans I have and was never told that Peaks was the company that they went through and was not even aware until I got a notice that my student loans were all consolidated for me even though I do not have a copy of any paperwork stating that I wanted them to do it. I was rushed through signing every student loan document in the school and most of the time they had already filled them out for me without me even seeing stating that I would be expelled if I did not sign it that day right then. I had no time to go through the paperwork due to the pressure from the financial department and the threat leveled against me. PEAKS, from what I have read, is part of the complaint against XXXX XXXX and was sent here from another website stating that this information should be presented.

Issue: Advertising and marketing — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OR)

I recently received an offer in the mail for XXXX XXXX credit card. A major feature of this card is to " Earn XXXX miles per {$1.00} spent on every purchase ''. Unfortunately, this is a false and deceptive statement. The brochure explains that I use the credit card to book a flight on my own, then go to their rewards center to redeem my miles, which will apply a credit for that flight. It turns out that a " mile credit '' does NOT result in a credit towards a flight mile. Instead, it is just a XXXX penny credit towards my flight purchase. These are very different things! For example, suppose I make {$100.00} in credit card charges and earn XXXX miles. If I then use my card to book a XXXX mile flight, say for {$50.00}, they will NOT credit my account for {$50.00} as directly implied in their brochure. Instead, they will only credit me for XXXX CENTS! 
Here is their description of the program. 
" Redeem for past travel purchases using Purchase Eraser. Simply book your travel through your favorite travel website, travel agent, or other travel resource using your No Hassle Rewards card. Then, go online at capitalone.com or call our Rewards Center to use our Purchase Eraser feature to redeem your miles and receive an account credit for the cost of your travel purchase. " The problem is that " redeem your miles '' should really say " redeem you pennies ''. The credit earned is NOT miles. The " miles '' redeemed will NOT cover the cost of a flight of that same number of miles.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IL)

Complaint : I did not receive my XXXX XXXX Miles bonus promotion for my new Citi Platinum Select Master Card : XXXX XXXX 2015 I received an e-mail invitation from XXXX XXXX to apply for the new promotion which after making purchases of {$3000.00} within the first 3 months I would receive XXXX Bonus XXXX miles. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I applied online and was approved for the new card. In a few days I received the new card. Within the 3 required months, I 've made more than {$3000.00} in purchases and made timely payments and to my surprise I did not receive the XXXX XXXX miles. I contacted Citi Card and after an investigation I received a letter explaining that because, " you either opened or closed another XXXX XXXX account within the past 18 months. ", they were unable to apply the XXXX miles. 
If I had a previous Citi Card ( turns out I did - I closed a credit card 15 months ago ), I should have been informed when I applied that I would not be eligible for the XXXX promotion, and not to issue a new card apparently hoping it will go unnoticed by me. I consider this intentional and underhanded business practice by Citi Card. Last week, I spoke to someone on the " CEO Citi Card Team '' and she said it should have been stated in the Welcome letter that I was not eligible. I explained that It was not and they have not issued the XXXX miles. I noticed in today 's news that CFPB has issued a penalty against Citi Card Bank and I agree that are guilty of " deceptive business marketing ''. 

P.S. I was not ware of any " XXXX Month Rule ''.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (CA)

In 2011, I was placed on XXXX due to a work related issue. The XXXX lasted for approximately 8 months. Upon being able to return to work, I was fired the following day and remained unemployed for an additional 3 months. I was making a significant salary at that time and also on an adjustable mortgage plan. During my XXXX/unemployment I was struggling to maintain my mortgage payments and became late. XXXX more month of being delinquent, I may have faced foreclosure. Thankfully, I regained employment but my salary was reduced by nearly 10 % in addition the commute was quite distant. On or around this period, my adjustable interest rate with HFC went up by nearly 50 %. I contacted HFC and requested assistance. HFC only granted temporary modifications at 6 month increments. My last time requesting for a modification, I was denied and told that I have exceeded the maximum amount of modification requests and advised that I can reapply in a year and I would be eligible once again for loan modification. I waited patiently and one year later, I reapplied and I was denied. I appealed the request stating that I was advised that I would be eligible after a year but my appeal was denied. The only XXXX options I was given were either a Short Sale or Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. I turned down those options because I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY HOME! After struggling to make my mortgage payments, I tried to refinance my loan but was denied because I am underwater with my loan and my loan to value was not good. I was then referred to XXXX, XXXX for assistance. I worked with XXXX and they submitted my refinance request to HFC. Again, HFC denied my modification request and this time for different reasons. I was again only given XXXX options, either a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. 
During my time trying to work with HFC on refinancing my loan I was also told that they do not do modification loans in addition, do not have to comply with the Obama mortgage rescue plan. 
I am seeking your assistance in hopes by filing a complaint to HFC of their unfair acts with mortgage rates. Currently my XXXX mortgage rage is 7.59 % and my second just went up to 10.15 %!!! It 's sickening and absurd that mortgage companies are allowed to do this to consumers, knowing that they are stuck between a rock and a hard place and can not get out of their contract with them. HFC is very aware that I am underwater and my LTV is too low that no other bank will refinance my loan so they are taking advantage of a long time customer with a high interest rate and knowing that the current market rate is between 2-4 %

This agency is puling my credit as a hard inquiry every 30 days causing a drop in my credit each time. When questioning he Manager, XXXX ( refused her last name ) she stated that she can do this once a month. Although I am delinquent on this debt I was told that this was legal. I work for a collection agency and know this is not legal. I am not applying for an additional loan, or requesting additional funds, so there is no a legal reason in my opinion to continue to make these inquiries. The account has been reported as delinquent on he credit bureau report which is fine, as that is a true statement. I disagree with having my credit pulled with out my permission.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (DC)

My home mortgage was originally held by XXXX XXXX but was recently sold to Chase. To mark the transfer I received a statement from each bank dated XXXX XXXX, 2015. Inexplicably, the Chase statement showed a principal balance {$500.00} higher than that on the XXXX statement. XXXX insists they provided Chase with the correct balance. I have made multiple phone calls to Chase, sent them a written request along with copies of the XXXX discrepant mortgage statements, and waited for weeks with no resolution to what appears to be a very clearcut matter. The fact remains that {$500.00} that I paid into my mortgage has simply disappeared, so not only has my money been taken but I continue to be charged interest for a portion of principal I already paid.
