Consumer complaint received 2022-12-23
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (MD)

On or about XXXX I opened an Amex Bluebird account for their savings-type card and general banking account. Not the prepaid debit account, the other one. 

After opening, I set up online access and was in the process of configuring personal info, alert settings, privacy settings etc. 

When I got to the Alerts preferences none were selected so they were able to be 100 % customized to my alerts needs. After configuring I clicked the Save button and moved on to the Privacy settings. 

When I got to the Privacy preferences, every XXXX of them ( approx. XXXX ) were pre-selected to allow Amex/Bluebird to distribute my personal data unconditionally or in other words every radio button was preselected Yes to allow Amex/Bluebird to distribute my data to whomever for whatever purpose they chose. 

After changing all the radio buttons to No and upon reaching the bottom of the page where the XXXXave button should be, there was no Save button. At first I tried zooming in and out to see if it would appear but it didn't. After reloading and going back then forward to see if the Privacy settings were saved, they were not. Everything defaulted back to Yes to give Amex/Bluebird total contol over my privacy and data. I have 3 decades of experience in engineering and am more knowledgable than most in the use, configuration and maintenance of PC and PC driven systems and software. I verified this Privacy problem on XXXX up-to-date browsers, XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX 

It appears that this company placed their footer on the privacy page intentionally over the Save button so most would give up attempting to Save their Privacy choices and just let Amex/Bluebird sell and distribute their personal lives across the planet. The footer blocking the Save button only affected the Privacy Save options, none of about 6 or 7 other parts/pages of the account setup/maintenance site had this " No Save '' condition/problem. 

It was only the Privacy settings that couldn't be saved, I have to believe that Amex/Bluebird is gaining financially from this deceptive, unethical and probably illegal practice. 

Potentially, e

very Bluebird account/card holder is having their data sold and distributed unconditionally against their wishes. Please verify this matter and take appropriate action against American Express/Bluebird . 

Thank you.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: AXOS FINANCIAL, INC. (FL)

I started to try and close my account on XX/XX/22 by sending a secure email via Axos online Business secure message portal. I received a response telling me I need to complete a transfer or a wire. There is no where on the website where these actions can be performed so I called. Each time I am redirected to phone representatives who tell me I have to use the secure message portal. When I explain the problem with the portal I am told someone will send me a message and no one ever does. I am at my wits end and can not access my funds.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: LoanCare, LLC (MN)

I would like to open a credit dispute with loan Care, LLC who reported a delinquent payment on XX/XX/2021 to the credit bureaus which caused my credit score to plummet XXXX points to an unfavorable rating. I requested a payoff in mid XXXX and was sent a payoff letter and payoff was made on XX/XX/2021. This action has caused harm to my credit and I am unable to apply for another loan. I would like the record corrected, the delinquency removed and for your company to stop incorrectly reporting. I have reached out to the 3 bureaus and they said they only report what they are given from loan care. My wife has spoken to loan care twice and they are claiming they did not report this loan as delinquent. Both parties are pointing the finger and we are the damaged parties. I want this issue escalated to a second level supervisor and the department that reports out the credit file information. This has caused irreparable harm to our credit file.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC. (PA)

In regards to loss of employment I asked lender for a deferment extension. This however extended the loan and paid off two months that I missed it was not clear to me that two months will be paid off but I will always be behind in payments because of the accumulation of interest. However fast forwarding to when I had to begin making payments again I was paying for the months that I supposedly missed. They then however reported my account as delinquent due to late payments when that was not apart of the agreement. The bigger issue is that I was told I will not be able to receive the documents that were signed. I was mislead within the process and it has affected my credit and personal life because I consistently make double payments but will stay in the negative which isnt legal or fair to me as a customer. I dont know what to do and I am in desperate need of help.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Experians responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC. (MI)

This account is under litigation. Santander Consumer USA keeps calling about a debt of {$17000.00} I have no knowledge of. When I stated I have no knowledge of this transaction or why this was on my credit reports they still pursued the collection with unculicited phone calls after hours in a harassing manner. I finally decided to get to the bottom of this so I requested the original signed contract with a signature and loan terms so I could verify the source of this debt immediately and they refused to supply one at that time and it's been months since I first requested.
