Consumer complaint received 2022-05-31
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
I am writing to complain about a credit offer that became a problem and resulted in a substantial additional charge on my Home Depot Credit Card. The credit card number was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have cancelled the card.

The credit offered zero interest on a larger purchase from Home Depot. The interest accrued but was not to be paid, as long as the account remained in good standing for the zero-interest rate offer period. To ensure that I could avail myself of this zero interest credit offer on the purchase, I set the card up to automatically pay a specified amount monthly. This approach worked well until the zero-interest credit period ended. 

However, I lost my card during this period and had to order a replacement. The replacement request was a problem because the information source I used to ensure that I was fulfilling my obligations on the card was not updated by Home Depot. This is because the site that I went for checking on the credit card balance never updated for the new card, and as a consequence, never showed the status of this credit offer. 

Consequently, I continued to pay the monthly specified amount automatically. However, once the credit offer term ended, Home Depot applied the full accrued interest balance to my credit card balance, and I was never made award of this adjustment because my electronic access to the credit status card was not updated. 

I realized a few months into this change that my account balance had been adjusted upward for the interest. If I had been informed by the electronic XXXX XXXX digital account site, I would have paid off the credit at that time. 

I believe the automatic payment option is a problem given that XXXX XXXX did not update my electronic access the status of my account. While the person I spoke to indicated that I had been sent notification via XXXX notices, I did not receive them. This may have been because of a couple of addresses changes that had occurred in the interim. However, I did have XXXX forward my mail, so I do not understand why I never received them. 

In any event, I believe that the approach being used by Home Depot is unfair to consumers as it offers automatic payments but does not update electronic notification to reflect balances on the replaced credit card like occurs with my other credit cards. It appears to take advantage of the false sense of security offered by automatic payments, to lull the customer into believing that they are sufficiently informed of the status of the account. 

I would like Home Depot to rectify this problem by returning the interest that I had to pay to pay off this account. Please confirm receipt of this letter.

Complaint:
United States Bankruptcy Court for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas has NO interaction with credit bureaus ( EXPERIAN, XXXX or XXXX ) which includes reporting information regarding bankruptcy cases or verifying the accuracy of information regarding bankruptcy cases held by these credit bureaus. The Federal Bankruptcy Court does not supply information to credit agencies ( EXPERIAN, XXXX or XXXX ) or to third parties like XXXX who is responsible for reporting this bankruptcy. 

The credit reports supplied by EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX reflects a debt being reported by the United States Bankruptcy Court for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas which is untrue. This bankruptcy was reported by XXXX and needs to be deleted immediately because all debts including bankruptcy can only be verified by the originator or it must be deleted. Attorneys and other case participants use these third-party services to collect and organize case filings in matters in which they are involved. It is this electronic filing which gives third parties like XXXX XXXX access to restricted or sealed case information and documents, typically in violation of court order. 

XXXX never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), NO consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. EXPERIAN, XXXX and XXXX are presenting this information as if it were supplied and reported by the United States Bankruptcy Court for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas. 

15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX, EXPERIAN and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. 

Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' And I am opting out of their reporting services.

The car was paid off with WFDS for the amount of {$7900.00}.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY

Complaint:
I work at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, a global professional services firm, partnered with American Express in the United States for all corporate credit cards. I hold an American Express corporate credit card with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I logged into my corporate American Express account on XX/XX/2022 to pay my bill, and I saw an exclusive offer for corporate card holders to apply for a personal American Express card. The exclusive offer noted that I will receive a " {$150.00} recurring statement credit on your XXXX XXXX account after approval, and every year at renewal when you maintain the same XXXX XXXX account ''. I entered my corporate card details to confirm my eligibility ( refer to screenshot # XXXX ). I then applied for the XXXX XXXX through the link provided on the offer page, which again clearly stated the {$150.00} statement credit after approval, and every year at renewal. In addition to the statement credit, the offer included XXXX membership rewards points after spending {$6000.00} within the first 6 months ( which I did receive ). You can also note that the normal offer to non-corporate card holders applying through the regular channel was only XXXX membership rewards points at that time. If I didn't sign up via the promotional link, then why would I have gotten the XXXX points as opposed to the XXXX that was being offered to regular customers. Once I entered my corporate card number and followed the " View my offers '' link in Screenshot # XXXX, I was forwarded to the page where I clicked " Apply Now ''. You can see the same offer was made on this page in XXXX # XXXX. Unfortunately, screenshot # XXXX does not show the " Apply Now '' link that I clicked on, so I have included Screenshot # XXXX to show how the " Apply Now '' link was shown ( Screenshot # XXXX shows the offer for the American Express Gold card, but I applied for the Platinum Card ). Luckily, I took these screenshots because I was showing my friend the two different offers ( Platinum or Gold card ) and I wanted my friend 's advice on which card to get. Finally after submitting my application, I was brought to the page which stated I was approved for the Platinum card ( screenshot # XXXX ). You can see in the website address bar that the URL included " XXXX '' and " XXXX '' - evidence that I signed up via the corporate offer link for the XXXX card. I have called American Express and they have investigated the matter 3 times. Each time they have closed the investigation saying that there was no error on their part.
