Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (FL)

I have maintained a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for several years. I made several attempts to close this account over the years and for some reason or another I was unable to do so and continued to receive billing statements. In the last few months I escalated my efforts to close this account as the bank has began to send collection reports to the credit agencies for a nominal amount after claiming to have been unable to contact me. The bank has my telephone number and I did not receive a single phone call from them on this matter and the only reason my address was out of date is because I had believed my account had been closed. I have had my account past due in the past and recall receiving automated calls from the bank notifying me of the same. I would have gladly paid these nominal amounts and again attempted to get rid of this credit line had I known about the issue. 

I attempted to deal with the bank directly to was told initially that a supervisor would review my record and listen to the recorded telephone calls over the past years and get back to me - which they never did. I again had to follow up with them as I received yet another bill but this time was able to learn a little from this process. When I would call the bank and try to XXXX the account out - the bank would take payment for the past due amount but not for the interest and charged thereon which would then come out on my next statement thereby preventing my account from actually being closed. The bank was also very resistant to sharing information with me regarding my file and has left me in a situation where I do not have all of the facts I need to show them ( the bank ) that they need to resolve this matter. They have also told me that they are unable to communicate directly with the credit reporting bureaus once a report has been filed and I need to deal with them on my own to fix my credit score. 

When I called my home bank ( XXXX ) i was informed that the affiliation with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had been terminated for similar complaints.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CA)

I have just completed a lease on a XXXX Chevy Volt, for which I paid XXXX per month and had also purchased the Excess Wear and Tear Insurance. I had also extended the lease for a few months. US Bank is the holder of the lease. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I returned the car to XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, US Bank took the monthly payment on the car. When I called, a representative said that the money would be returned within two weeks by check. This never happened. Instead on XXXX XXXX, I received a bill for termination fee ( XXXX ) and excess wear and tear ( XXXX ) and sales taxes ( XXXX ), totalling XXXX, with the statement that the car was returned on XXXX XXXX. I called and said that I had 'ding ' insurance and that the car was returned earlier. This representative said that the monthly amount would be deducted in a new bill, but that the XXXX was for tires, which are not covered. Besides being very upset at a bill of XXXX for tires, I asked to see the damage report. The representative had just lied, presumably to get me to pay a unnecessary bill. A new bill arrived for XXXX ( XXXX - XXXX ). After the report arrived, I called again, and the next representative said that indeed the XXXX would be deducted, but not the tax amount and that a corrected bill would be for XXXX. Instead, a new bill arrived identical with the second bill. I would like to see a correct bill. Furthermore, as a result of the mendacity of representatives of US Bank, I hardly believe their representatives, when they say I should pay a sales tax on repairs provided by an insurance, especially as I have no idea who does the repairs or where. It seems that their phone representatives just try, honestly or not, to get people to pay any amount they can pull out of them.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: SLM CORPORATION (NJ)

Payments were made in XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were made to Sallie Mae Student Loans to pay off the loans permanently. I had called them in XX/XX/XXXX to confirm that the loan was paid off. I was told by a representative my loan was paid off and I was owed money. The representative told me that I was owed a little over XXXX dollars and the change of status in my account would be reflected in the next billing cycle. 

I checked my account in XX/XX/XXXX and the account still said that I owed {$1200.00} but owed nothing current. I left it alone thinking the representative meant the next billing cycle, meaning XXXX. I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX as a relative notified me that they had called Sallie Mae and made a final payment towards the account even though I had been told the loan had been paid off. I witnessed the payment was in the midst of being processed. I signed into my account again on XX/XX/XXXX. The money transfer had been process and confirmed. The balance for my account was {$0.00} dollars, therefore, the loan should have been paid off at this point. 

I proceeded to sign into my account today XX/XX/XXXX to go over some documents that my relative had requested from me. It was then that I noticed that Sallie Mae reversed the payment back into the bank account that it had came from. And I now owed the XXXX plus an additional XXXX cents of interest accrued. I called to gather information in regards to this discrepancy and I was not given a straight forward clarified answer as why the money was returned back to the account. I was told it was an issue with the bank but was not given further details. This is the 2nd time with Sallie Mae since XXXX that I have attempted to pay off my loans and I am being given a hard time. I am being given false information in regards to my loan and they are reversing payments for no reason and blaming the bank for their mistake. The payment was clearly received and processed correctly. I am filing a complaint because this is highly unprofessional and I would like nothing more than to be done and over with with this company. I only ever received around XXXX dollars of the XXXX I was promised but have yet to receive.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (GA)

In XXXX 2016, Ally Financial was contacted by the Consumer regarding intentional delayed credit reporting. The Consumer discovered on XXXX/XXXX/2016 Ally Financial did fraudulently and knowingly falsify consumer credit reporting by using inaccurate balance data and the date of reporting to distort credit score increase in favor of Consumer ; Example : On XXXX/XXXX/2016 Ally Financial claims on XXXX Credit Report, the report submission date was XXXX/XXXX/2016 and the consumer auto balance was {$37000.00} which is false data for XXXX/XXXX/2016, thereby proof that 60 calendar days had elapsed as the Consumer 's balance fell to {$37000.00} as result of a XXXX/XXXX/2016 payment. From XXXX/XXXX/2016 to XXXX/XXXX/2016 Ally Financial did fraudulently, willfully, and knowingly falsify the Consumer 's XXXX Credit Report by reporting a balance of {$38000.00} ( did not happen until XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) and skipping altogether a balance of {$37000.00} ( which happened on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ). Ally Financial has intentionally used false/delayed credit reporting tactics repeatedly against the Consumer in order to intentionally mislead/depress credit score increases that occur naturally with aging of account life and decrease of balance. Further, the reasoning for the above-mentioned illegal credit reporting tactics by Ally Financial serves to delay credit score increases whereby the Consumer could either refinance the auto loan at a lower interest rate or change to another more reputable lender altogether.
