Issue: Balance transfer — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TN)

Around XX/XX/XXXX I accepted a credit card offer from my Chase AARP card at a 0 % interest for a year with a 2 % transfer fee. Needing the money, I called Chase and asked them to deposit XXXX into my checking account and, shortly there after, they did so. Now, they are wanting the XXXX. back from my checking account. They say it was their error but they should n't have deposited the money because that checking account has n't been used to pay a Chase fee within 3 months, so could n't be approved for the transfer.. I had XXXX balances so there was no need to make a payment. They made this decision after they deposited the money into my account.They say they will pay the bank fees but where am I supposed to get the XXXX?. I do not have all of the XXXX left and what is there is allocated for checks and payments that have not cleared yet. I accepted their offer and borrowed this money in good faith and have spent many hours on the phone with various Chase reps and am that the account is active, has XXXX available credit, but they can not assign the money already borrowed to that account because it was n't used for 3 months. Surely they can lift the rule to cover their error, but they wo n't. The woman, who said she was a manager, gave me the fax number of Chase Executive Offices as my only recourse. So, I am contacting you. This is an AARP card, available only to XXXX. They are causing havoc in my life and do not care at all. Please help

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (GA)

Debit card was stolen and used to make bad deposits and withdraw cash from my son 's checking account. Additionally, the card was used to make purchases. I reported the lost card immediately upon my son realizing that he did n't have it. Suntrust opened XXXX cases for the reported fraud on XX/XX/2016. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification that the cases were opened. On XX/XX/XXXX, after I received notification that my case ( claim ) was denied. On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to a local branch to discuss the case since the customer service telephone service could not give me any details on the denial. The branch VP talked to corporate staff via phone while I was there to better understand the denial and appeal process. I was told that I would receive information via mail about the appeal process. On or about XX/XX/2016, after having received nothing via mail or email, I again went to the branch office to discuss the matter. She again discussed the case with corporate staff via phone in my presence. I was told that I needed to file an appeal if I disagreed with the findings. On XX/XX/XXXX, Suntrust sent me two letters : one that they received my dispute and the second that the rebuttal did n't provide additional information to overturn their decision. On XX/XX/XXXX, my son filed a police report with the local department. On XX/XX/XXXX, I faxed a letter appeal to Suntrust along with copies of the obviously fraudulent deposits as well as the police report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I stopped by the branch office and asked if the VP could help. I told her that I had sent the appeal and received nothing even though the previous correspondence to Suntrust had resulted in almost immediate responses. I emailed her a copy of the letter that afternoon. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I received emails from the VP inquiring about responding via a " rebuttal form ''. I have received no written response to my XX/XX/XXXX appeal nor have I been reimbursed any of the stolen funds or bank charges due to insufficient funds.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (GA)

After moving money around between my various Suntrust accounts, I spent a lot of time trying to find the fee schedules for all my various accounts to make sure I did n't incur any service charges for low balances, etc.. I found there is no easy way to see the fee schedule for a specific account. There is a pdf online that shows the fees for the current products offered, but I have a bunch of older account types. I discovered that I had several {$15.00} charges on my money market account starting last XXXX because, while the current money market account being offered waives fees regardless of balance if an automatic checking transfer is in place, my older account did not. It 's hard for a consumer to avoid fees when Suntrust only publishes the fee schedules for the currently offered account types. I had to threaten to close all my accounts and move to another bank if those fees were n't refunded. A customer service rep refunded XXXX of the XXXX {$15.00} charges, but said that 's all they could do? I would like the other {$15.00} charge refunded as well. But, most of all, I would like Suntrust to simply make the fee schedule for each account type easily accessible so others do n't have to waste their time like I have. 

I see 2 possible solutions : 1 ) Make the fee schedule for each account easily accessible - even when those account types are no longer part of the current retail offering 2 ) Transition account types that are no longer offered automatically to new account types where the fee schedules are easily accessible. 

How is a customer supposed to know when their account type has become a legacy product and no longer important enough to offer an easily accessible fee schedule? 

BTW, how hard is it given the state of technology to give some sort of a warning to customers when they do something that is about to incur a fee ( with a link to the fee schedule for their specific account )? I get plenty of correspondence from Suntrust trying to sell me additional products and services. How about something I can actually use - like a notification that my balance has fallen below a certain level and I will be charged if nothing is done by a specific date.

Company: Element Global Services (KY)

The debt collection agency Element Global Services had an agent named XXXX contact me at work while I was teaching. He gave me a deadline to call him back or he would be calling my boss. He threatened to have me put in jail and taken to court if I did not pay a certain amount of money on the spot. He also refused to identify himself when he first called. XXXX also threatened to contact my boss with the recording of the line that we were on to show him my " character '' after he made numerous other threatening statements. After researching this company on the internet I have seen nemerous complaints about intimidation tactics from them. XXXX knew information about me that he should n't have and that was an extremely scary thing. I felt harassed and violated by this man.

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received an email from XXXX XXXX ( NMLS # XXXX ), the Residential Lending Officer with Whitney Bank who would be assisting me through the process. In that conversation, I spoke with him about pre-qualification requirements and the XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Program, a mortgage loan program that provides assistance to cover the borrower 's down payment and closing costs. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received a Mortgage Loan Pre-Qualification letter to purchase a home in the " {$350000.00} price range ''. The proposed loan was a Conventional 5 % down payment loan. The loan was also contingent on qualifying for down payment assistance for the XXXX XXXX program. 
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 a final offer was accepted on a house. The executed contract via email was forwarded to XXXX XXXX. The Third Party Financing Addendum of the contract stated that I needed to obtain conditional loan approval by XXXX XXXX, 2016. If for any reason I was not able to obtain financing prior to this date then I could terminate the agreement and have my earnest money refunded. This was highlighted in the email sent to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Closing was scheduled on or before XXXX XXXX, 2016. 
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received conditional approval with a few remaining conditions. Conditions were met on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Again, on XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received another approval with conditions that were satisfied in a timely manner for closing. XXXX XXXX failed to deliver final disclosures, and obtain down payment assistance through the XXXX Program in a timely manner. As a result I lost my earnest money and other funds relevant to this transaction.

In my previous letter, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach.

Company: IQOR US INC (WA)

I originally opened the account but released all control to my daughter when she moved XXXX by phone with a XXXX rep XXXX years ago. I have never been billed for the account in the past 7 years ... my billing address is not on the account because everything was through online bill pay ... eco bill. I do n't have access to the account and now all of a sudden it has gone to collections and they are saying I am the original account holder and responsible for the past due balance owed on the account ... supposedly my social is tied to the account so that means you should also have access to my other account in order to contact me about the past due amount. XXXX dinged my credit without contacting me XXXX. When I called XXXX their excuse was we billed the address on file. I know that was a lie because everything was online bill pay. There was no address on file I know that for a fact because the rep asked me for the password that was on her account so they could access the account. I told them I had no clue to the password since it was not my account. I also know my email address was not on her account. When she took over the account everything was changed to reflect her ... email address and password ... only she had access to the account. They had no problems allowing her to take over the account so they should be holding her responsible for the bill. Everything is done through email because that 's what the account preferences were set up as. That 's not acceptable ... they have my address on file because I have my own XXXX account so they ca n't say they could n't find me. I have lived at the same address for 20 years and had the same XXXX account for the past 13 years. You ca n't say its my account and never bill me for it. I have received no paper, phone, or email contact over the above referenced account number for the past due balance. You ca n't have you cake & pie and eat too. I was never given a chance to dispute this ... it just showed up on my credit report XXXX hours ago. I received a text alert from XXXX that this was just added to my report. 

My credit report reads as such : ALLIED INTERSTATE $ XXXX XXXX account reported on XXXX XXXX, XXXX : Account # XXXX : $ XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Balance $ XXXX Date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Reported : XXXX XXXX, XXXX : IndividualRemarks : Placed for collection

So the tenant filed something against me, when I refused to go on Judge XXXX, from whom I receive mail and a call.
