Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (PA)

I have an Apple Card credit card from Goldman Sachs. I've had a {$0.00} balance for 9 months since XX/XX/2023. I want to close the account. They say the account is under review. They have been telling me this for the whole 9 months I've had a {$0.00} balance. They will not let me close the account while it is under review. They have not provided me any updates despite asking for one at least once every few weeks for the past 9 months.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

I was a cardholder of the Chase XXXX XXXX Rewards Visa XXXX credit card in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. This card came with a sign up bonus of three XXXX XXXX ( tier 1-4 ) free nights which I earned in XX/XX/XXXX. The nights can be used for the following year. During the year of XX/XX/XXXX, however, I experienced a series of health issues which prohibited me from traveling. I was in bed rest in almost the entire year, and I had a XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 

This credit card had a {$450.00} annual fee for the 1st year which increased to {$550.00} at renewal in XX/XX/XXXX. Given my health condition, I called Chase and XXXX XXXX Customer Services ( CS ) in early XX/XX/XXXX to discuss my situation. Chase confirmed my free nights should still be fine if I closed my credit card. XXXX XXXX responded that they would be willing to extend the free nights for me, but I need to call them again when those free nights are about to expire since their system doesnt allow them to extend the nights too early. 

Given the advices I got from Chase and XXXX XXXX, I closed my credit card afterwards. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX to extend the nights but only to be shocked that they said unable to do so since my credit card was canceled in XX/XX/XXXX. That was not my understanding from before from Chase or ever brought up when I first discussed with XXXX XXXX. Even the rep didnt realize the system requires the credit card. After talking with numerous people, a CS manager suggested me calling XXXX corporate office. I did, but after checking with his manager, the rep told me XXXX XXXX would not honor the bonus since that was part of Chase credit card promotion. 

Last month, I retrieved a copy of the Chase credit card terms. Clearly it does not say the free night bonuses require an active credit card. I then contacted Chase Executive Office. But after one month of research, the rep ( XXXX ) told me now there is nothing Chase can do but I should go back to talk to XXXX XXXX since Chase never took the bonus nights away after I closed my card. It was XXXX XXXX 's problem. 

This is an unbelievable example of how a customer can be misdirected, ripped off and unfairly treated by big companies like Chase and XXXX XXXX due to their own misunderstanding, miscommunications and misleading advice. This is not acceptable.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CA)

My husband and I have owned our home for close to 20 years. We were doing fine until CXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was hospitalized for 4 months and near death and it was very traumatic. Due to the income loss from Covid our family was not able to keep up with our monthly mortgage payment to Select Portfolio Servicing. I called them to ask if they had any programs to help homeowners who were financially impacted by Covid and they told me no, they did not have any programs to help. The agent told me that if we were struggling we should just pay the principal and interest and not the escrow for the time being. We took that advice because we did not know about the CARES program or any other options that should have been offered to us and as a result we are now behind about $ XXXX and they have told us we are going to have to reinstate that full amount or they will be starting foreclosure down the road. I am healthy and back to work and my husband recently received a raise and we have the ability to make our regular payment but need help dealing with these late payments -- -we do not have the resources to pay back the full amount and need help. I still dont understand why they obstructed access to the government programs set up for homeowners struggling due to Covid and did not even consider a forbearance or modification or anything. 

XXXX has worked as an XXXX XXXX for 30 years and I have worked in accounts payable for 20 years. We have raised our family in this home and have always done everything we could to meet our financial obligations. In spring XXXX our county was declared a disaster area. I suffer from XXXX and XXXX and these underlying health conditions severely affected me when I got XXXX and I nearly passed away and spent 4 months in the hospital and was out of work for 6 months. When we called to talk to SPS about our situation and that our financial problems were Covid related I dont understand why their agent denied access to government programs related to Covid hardship that we qualified for, such as the CARES forbearance. Instead we find ourselves behind $ XXXX and in a difficult position without the ability to get caught up. I tried to submit a loan modification application several weeks ago but have not heard any response and based on my past dealings with this company I dont hold out much hope for any type of help from SPS.

I demand that this error be rectified immediately, and that my bankruptcy be removed from my consumer report.
