Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (GA)

I have been a loyal XXXX Customer for many years. I have several devices. I actually have three phones on my cellular account including an XXXX XXXX. Three XXXX ( mine, my mother 's and granddaughter 's ) a XXXX, XXXX watch and XXXX. I have had a XXXX XXXX for several years with a 1 rating at all credit bureaus. However, I just recently, received a letter from XXXX, XXXX 's go to financing company. They informed me that they are reducing my credit line due to " Derogatory Public Record or Collection Filed or Proportion of Balances To Credit Limits Too High on Revolving Accts ''. I checked the reporting agency, which does not have any XXXX XXXX XXXX on my file. As a matter of fact, no company has at this time. 
Reducing my credit limit only serves to make matters worse. It will only make it appear that I am nearer to the credit line with XXXX. I would have rather the company decide to not extend any more credit than to create this issue. This practice should be examined and stopped. I have never been late on this account. I have actually paid several balances early. 
No loyal XXXX customer should be treated like this ...

Company: DISCOVER BANK (PA)

early XX/XX/XXXX received an offer from Discover to get a limited card to help rebuild my credit. Was told when making the application by phone that a deposit would be required initially, then some line of credit would be determined. Once the card are issued and used, after 6-12 billing cycles of good payment history, I would get that deposit back. 
After sending in deposit, I checked on the application. I then was told that NO actual credit over the deposit amount was approved. Because no actual credit was being issued it made more sense to just hang onto my money. 
I cancelled immediately right then - NEVER HAVING PHYSICALLY RECEIVED OR ACTIVATED A DISCOVER CARD I was told when I cancelled in late XX/XX/XXXX that the deposit was " expedited '' and would be received in about 10 days. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to check on a date I could expect that back and was told that nothing was done yet and they would THEN expedite the return of my money. This was the second time I was lied to about about the matter. 
I called AGAIN on XX/XX/XXXX to check and STILL nothing had been done and after speaking to a supervisor about my extreme inconvenience over this and they promised a call back within 72 hours. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I had not got any phone call - and had to make a FOURTH call to a manger in XXXX about this and was again given the same handful of thin apologies and told they would try to do whatever they can. This was now the fourth time I was lied to. 

I explained at that I had been given the run around to the point where I would never ever speak any good about my experience with Discover Card and would take my complaints to whomever would listen. I still have no idea when I will get my deposit back. So, I have been robbed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

I have filed several disputes with TransUnion and XXXX for Maryland State Tax Liens. I was able to obtain lien releases for both tax liens for XXXX and XXXX, which should have been removed in XXXX and XXXX respectively. The credit reporting agency refused to remove these liens, reported incorrect account and case numbers, and court information on the reports. When I called the number on the credit report, the information is not verifiable and I was told that this information does not exist. In essence, the credit reporting agencies are " rubber stamping '' invalid and incorrect information without confirming the validity of the liens. The courts do not report to the credit reporting agencies. Also, these liens are over XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, well beyond the age limit for credit reporting. This has caused financial distress and caused me to be denied for Home Equity loans, mortgage loan modifications, student loans for my children, and other consumer loans. This has affected my FICO score.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: Populus Financial Group, Inc. (F/K/A Ace Cash Express) (CA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I applied for an installment loan with Ace Cash Express for the amount of {$4200.00}. Ace Cash Express deposited the funds into my primary checking account on XXXX XXXX, 2015. 

According to the agreement, I am to make XXXX payments in the amount of {$270.00} with an initial payment of {$330.00}. The initial payment was deducted from my account on XXXX XXXX, 2015. As of XXXX XXXX, I had repaid {$1100.00}. I contacted Ace Cash Express on XXXX XXXX to get a pay-off quote and I was informed that the pay-off through XXXX XXXX, 2015 is {$4100.00}. I 've complied with the loan agreement and made payments as scheduled, but only {$16.00} has gone toward the premium balance. 

I have ceased making payments until I can get a resolution on the interest. This is a predatory loan and I do n't think it is legal. I 'm seeking assistance for a resolution. I am not opposed to paying the loan as I have taken loans with Ace Cash Express in the past, but I was always in a position to pay the loan in full within a couple of weeks, so I did not realize that this Company specializes in predatory loans.

This has been going on for months and I've disputed this multiple times. I also filed a previous complaint with the CFPB as well. Now Experian and XXXX added a XXXX loan to my account which does not exist which is beyond the pale. Currently I have XXXX student loans serviced by XXXX totaling $ XXXX. Now they added a XXXX loan instead of just simply fixing the balances of the other loans, making my total owed double than what it used to be. Hard to imagine.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (VA)

Discover Student loans purchased loans I had originally taken out with XXXX. I have not missed a payment since I 've started paying on them. They have published list of criteria to qualify for cosigner release. First that you loan is a prior XXXX loan, next that you are XXXX, that you are a US Citizen, that you 've made the requisite amount of consecutive monthly payments on time ( which I did ), that you make more than {$1500.00} in gross monthly income ( I make {$10000.00} ), and that you have satisfactory credit ( they said the score they pulled for me was XXXX ). I applied for cosigner release and was denied a couple days later. I was told my income was too low. I followed up with Discover and they said the reason for the denial was that I did not provide proof of income. I followed up and provided the requisite information even though they do not specify on their release application that that information was necessary. I was denied again XXXX day later, again because they said my income was too low. I contacted them but was not able to get a clear answer on why I was having the same issue. I thought having a cosigner released would be easier than consolidating. I was able to get a consolidation loan within a half hour, with better rates. I will never use Discover again.

I used my TD Bank credit card to purchase XXXX baseball jerseys. After receiving the first one, I realize that the website was a scam and they were not authentic as the website indicated. Additionally, the website would n't give me an address to return the item. I spent several hours arguing the issue with TD Bank and requested a refund through the dispute office. They claimed that I did not submit enough information even though I feel like I did. Also, TD Bank is now saying that they ca n't refund me because it has been too long since the purchase even though I notified them of the issue the day that I received the jerseys. The website that I made the purchase from has since been identified as one selling counterfeit items : XXXX I believe that TD Bank did a very poor job in representing me.
