Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Bank of America charged a {$35.00} overdraft fee for insufficient funds to pay themselves their own $ XXXX monthly maintenance fee. In other words, I did not have {$12.00} in my bank account, so they charged me {$35.00} when they billed the $ XXXX monthly maintenance fee, bringing my account to $ XXXX overdrawn. I called and complained but think that this is a scandalous policy that needs to be both revisited and revised.

Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease — 
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CT)

Barclaycard US lowered my credit limit to just about match the balance on my card. This increased my debt to credit ratio, hence dropping my credit score, when I did nothing wrong. I was not late on a payment nor did I go above the credit limit. Frankly, I have never been late on a payment in my entire life. My credit report is perfect, but I do have debt. I understand that lenders will frequently evaluate risk and have the " right '' to lower the limit, but setting the limit to match my balance was not fair. This practice frankly should be illegal. If I ca n't just increase my credit limit whenever I want then they should not be able to decrease the limit whenever they want. I do n't deserve this or the negative effect it will have on my credit score. I have been trying to dig out of massive debt since I graduated college 10 years ago, and moves like this by lenders to not make this goal any easier.

If you had investigated properly rather then using your e-Oscar system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to " Verified ''. Since you 've obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could n't merely " Parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that does n't even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you do n't initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which I 'm sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (FL)

This is now the 2nd complaint on the issue as the first time PayPal said there was no problem, I should be able to log in and that was quite some time ago but I tried again to reset the password and jumped through their hoops, wasted more time but still ca n't. The primary complaint is I feel this is retribution from a previous issue had with them and tremendous failures handling a return. Perhaps they were even offended I did a credit card dispute as well. One issue the CFPB should note is that extra attention should be paid when a company positions itself where consumers have a difficult time finding a comparable service. I think companies like PayPal see this as an opportunity to not care and do things like such retribution ... Basically PayPal should be regulated like a utility until or unless they end up with more competition.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA)

This is a letter that I faxed to XXXX XXXX 10 days ago and I received no answer. 
Dear Sir, Madam, I got your fax number from a nice lady that I talked to when I contacted XXXX. 
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have a XXXX credit card, that I use very rarely. ( acct. number : XXXX ) However, I used it a few months ago and went for a vacation to XXXX to take care of my sick mother and later I went for vacation with my kids. Therefore what happened to me is really my fault, but I would like to ask you for reconsideration of my case. 
I did not pay my bill for 2 months. The balance was about {$80.00}. 
Being on vacation, I missed your statements ( in the pile of my mail it was n't difficult, and also, I pay all my bills electronically, so I might have missed a paper statement ) My balance came to my attention after an agent from your bank ( XXXX XXXX ) called me ( XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, ca n't recall exactly when ). I paid my balance promptly over the phone. 
Last week I got my credit score to my bank and I noticed, that it went XXXX points down, from excellent, to barely good. I know, that this is going to be on my record for 7 years. 
I would like to bring to your attention, that I 've been working on my credit history for all my life ( I am XXXX years old, divorced mother of XXXX ), successfully paid for my college, mortgage, various car loans, credit cards, all my household and phone bills and I almost never missed payments. My loans were often very high and I managed to stay in the excellent credit range. 
I would like you to reconsider your decision to report my mistake ( of not paying {$80.00} ) to credit bureau and essentially wiping out years of my excellent financial standing for under {$100.00}, 2 cycle missed payments, that was promptly paid after the phone call. 
Please let me know if there is anything you can do about my case and please advise what should be my next steps if there is nothing that you can do at your end. I would like to avoid the consumer agency complaint. 
Thank you so much, Best regards,

I was trying to get a mortgage for a condo purchase in XXXX XXXX, Florida and dealt with a mortgage broker called Perl in XXXX, Florida. They were rarely there to answer the phone during business hours, failed to return calls, and after saying I did not need a second appraisal on the property, asked for a new one which through their tardiness never got processed in time for an answer on the mortgage application. Their office manager, XXXX XXXX, acted unprofessionally and ineptly throughout the process. I hope others can be spared the experience I had with him and his firm.

I attempted to remedy this and called several times and they refused to make the corrections. Meanwhile, I had a payment due on XX/XX/2017 ( I think as they would not tell me ), for the {$20.00} something charge on my account. On XX/XX/2017, I sent all of the identification information they now required ( for some reason. ) Also, on XX/XX/2017, I called Capital One and attempted to pay the balance on my account and they stated the balance was {$40.00} something dollars and refused to tell me what the additional charges were for. During the same call, after several frustrating minutes in which they refused to provide information regarding my account, my mother authorized payment in full using her checking account ( she provided the routing number and account number. ) Capital One refused to take the payment. I opened this account to establish a credit history and due to Capital One my credit will be ruined.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation.

Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
