Company: U.S. BANCORP (WA)

Back in XX/XX/XXXX, I responded to a solicitation from Fidelity to receive a Fidelity Rewards VISA credit card. I was unable to fill out form online as form would not let me use my full legal name, XXXX. XXXX. I finally completed the application via phone, no problem. I received the card in the XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX period. Using the card was no problem. My first two statements came addressed to me : XXXX. XXXX. The third came addressed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Now, this was my GIVEN NAME at birth but in XX/XX/XXXX I had it legally changed to XXXX. XXXX, the name I had been using for many years ( Superior Ct. Washington , XX/XX/XXXX, # XXXX ). When I received the statement with " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' a called the customer service number listed on the statement. After explaining my story, the gentleman said that he would try to connect me to their fraud division. The fraud division REFUSED to speak to me! I contacted the Washing State Attorney General and filed a complaint with them. After some correspondence with them I received a letter from ELAN Cardmember Service, Office of the President, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, ND, XXXX, telling me that they did a background check on me ( assume SSN ) and that I was XXXX XXXX XXXX. I responded through the AG that the info ELAN had obtained was NOT accurate and I wanted to know from whence the info came so I could correct the source. The answer : " proprietary in nature '' and would not share with me the agency from whom the bad information came. Translated, TOUGH COOKIES! 'We know who you are ' and that 's it! Ironically, I had opened an account in conjunction with this credit card with Fidelity, the institution with which I thought I was dealing, in my full LEGAL name, XXXX. XXXX. I have several other accounts with them, also. Here 's the problem : ELAN ( whoever they are ) arbitrarily changed my legal name to another name without contacting me. They depended on inaccurate, untimely information from an unknown ( to me ) source. Their intransigence, after being contacted by the WA AG 's office shows that they need to  revise their procedures in order tthat this not happen again, to anyone. They, I believe, do NOT have the right to change anyone 's name without direct contact with that person to verify the information. Documents that were submitted through the AG 's office : current U.S. Passport, redacted, Washington state Drivers License, redacted. Copy of certified copy of Court Order of Name Change

I do n't understand why these folks have to play with me and act dumb. I said " no '' to using my travel rewards 10 times. They claim they can not hear me unless I speak and use the correct tone of voice and verbiage. They act punitively toward me and it makes my phone transactions difficult and tiresome.

Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC (CO)

I took out numerous loans for XXXX school from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This is in addition for loans for my XXXX and XXXX education. XXXX of the loans that was taken out for XXXX school was from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, 1st Associates became the servicer of this loan. I received only an e-mail notifying me of this transfer, with no hard copies or attached documents. I completed forbearance paperwork while completing my fellowship, but the loan came into repayment in XX/XX/XXXX. I made a request to go to interest only payments in XX/XX/XXXX, and I was told I would be mailed the paperwork to complete this request. It never arrived, and I continued to pay my bill. I then noted that my interest rate was rising quickly, now 9.22 %. I decided to transfer the loan to a more reputable company who requested my master promissory note. I called 1st Associates to request this document, but instead got a letter in the mail stating, " Unfortunately, due to administrative error, we do not have a copy of your original agreement. Original contract terms are digitally uploaded into fields of our servicing database at account onboarding, guaranteeing a permanent record of the account details. '' This statement seems to contradict itself ensure presence of a document that they can not provide. I called again to request the documents and was told a request had to be sent through " Upper Management. '' I tried to find any contact information for XXXX XXXX ( which I think stands for XXXX XXXX ), but only find links to legal aid related to this company. I fear this may be a fraudulent company and am requesting help ensuring this is a legitimate lender before I continue to make payments.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc. (NY)

On XXXX XXXX, 2017 at XXXX I initiated a transfer on Coinbase exchange of XXXX XXXX from my Coinbase Multi-syg vault to my Coinbase XXXX wallet. My intent was to transfer this amount to my XXXX Wallet and then transfer off the exchange prior to XX/XX/XXXX, in order to receive XXXX  currency during the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. Coinbase previously sent instruction that if users wanted to obtain XXXX currency they would need to transfer money off the exchange as Coinbase was not supporting XXXX. Legally it is questionable whether Coinbase has the ability to even withhold XXXX. Common law dictates that products of an asset belong to the owner of the original asset. Furthermore, Coinbase, Inc has not explained what it plans to do with the valuable XXXX tokens it acquired following the hard fork. However due to Coinbases ' instruction, on XX/XX/XXXX, it led me to transfer the funds on two occasions from my Coinbase vault to my XXXX wallet using the protocol offered by them. However, on both occasions I received an error message when I clicked the approval button. In response, I decided to cancel the transfer the coin, while I obtained customer support ( I clearly stated in my customer support ticket on XX/XX/XXXX that my intent was to secure XXXX currency ). After canceling the transaction by selecting the cancel option I received a confirmation email to confirm the transaction was canceled. However, since that time my XXXX multi-syg vault and XXXX wallet both show {$0.00} balance and I have lost access to the XXXX XXXX funds. My account continues to show the transaction as waiting for approval yet provides no options. I have written numerous support tickets in an attempt to resolve the issue, that have not been responded to by Coinbase support. I attempted to use XXXX mult-syg tool in order to also obtain access to my multi-syg vault, using my public/private keys yet the tool was ineffective. I repeatedly wrote tickets to XXXX support for over 5 consecutive days yet have received no response other than an automated response acknowledging receipt of ticket. Due to Coinbase negligence and unresponsiveness I was unable to gain access to my funds prior to the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and therefore unable to obtain my XXXX coins. It has caused me significant emotional stress and inability to utilize my funds.
I still have not heard back from Customer Support.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Army and Air Force Exchange Service (OK)

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX To set up a payment plan too pay off a {$5100.00} debt for the AAFES Military Star Card . When I called, they informed me that I actually owed more than what the statement they sent me stated, almost {$1000.00} more. They stated that they have a 18 % interest rate, but on the letter sent to me it stated 19.24 % annual. This amount is way more than the interest date that I had with the Military Star Card. So every month, I am being charged about {$77.00} in interest. We are a military family and move often, currently residing in Oklahoma, so I am not sure if what they are doing is legal. I set up a payment plan, of {$200.00} a month an it has me making payments until 2020. How can I get caught up on the balance with such a high interest rate?
Any advise or assistance that you could provide me will be very much appreciated. Thank you

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IA)

To whom it may concern May I please request your guidance and help in a very serious matter. I have acted most appropriately in trying to rectify this grave matter to no avail. I seem to be caught between two companies ; XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, of whom neither will help correct my dire situation. My home mortgage was bought by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I appropriately each month would telephone in my payment on time. Upon doing so last XX/XX/XXXX, I was recommended by an agent representing the company to set-up an ACH withdrawal with my personal banking institution ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I personally went into the local branch where my account was opened and telephoned XXXX XXXX XXXX. This event took place on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX : XXXX. The bank teller representing the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX verbally argued with the telephone representative for XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding the confirmation of the bank routing number. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX teller demanded she was right and so the representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX acquiesced and the ACH withdrawal was set upon the information given by the banking institution. Come to the withdrawal, it was never attempted as a debit against the checking account. There clearly was no attempt to post. XXXX XXXX XXXX considered the account to be 30 days late. Upon doing so, the XXXX ACH was never attempted by XXXX, therefore reporting a 60-days late notice to all three credit reporting bureaus. I immediately went to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as started calling XXXX XXXX XXXX. Neither company would help me once so ever. To rectify the matter, I sent cashiers checks in the overnight mail to XXXX with letters requesting their help. I was denied. To date, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX have been reported as late. Finally, there was a supervisor representing XXXX XXXX ( XXXX - XXXX ) that pulled the audio transmission between myself and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX  that clearly tells the trail of errors. The routing number was not correct, as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had demanded. Even though XXXX XXXX has solid proof on tape, that I am not at fault and that my payment has been made, they are not willing to correct my credit report to all three reporting agencies. Nor is the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, willing to admit their inhouse error. Please I ask for your assistance in this matter. I am an elder, a law-abiding citizen and I should not have to bear this devastating consequence on my credit. It is humiliating to me and has ruined reputation. Most sincerely yours

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

I am XXXX XXXX and have been banking with Wells Fargo for decades. I wanted to refinance my home and decided to give them my business. My credit score is near 800 and my income is approx 400K annually. They pre-approved me and we began the process in XXXX of XXXX. After charging me for an appraisal and causing me to incur other expenses, the notified me in XX/XX/XXXX that i did not have the income to justify the loan, which is a flaw in their system. 
I have since refinanced with XXXX with ZERO issues as they have confirmed my income as what is stated on my tax returns. 

I have asked Wells Fargo to refund my {$580.00} for the appraisal and {$250.00} for the subordination fee and they have refused my request. 

My experience with them has been terrible. It blows my mind that they are willing to treat a customer such as myself this way - I have been there decades and have large deposits in my accounts. If they are deciding to treat small business owners this way, then perhaps small business owners should consider different banks.
