Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MO)

Complaint:
This is in regards to a XXXX XXXX credit card account under XXXX XXXX. I decided to go with the 0 % interest for 24 months program in XXXX XXXX. I noticed in my next billing statement that I was charged for " purchases '' however this was in disguise to debt protection that I did not willingly sign up for. I was denied credit of debt protection due since XXXX stated that I " signed up for the optional program in XXXX XXXX ''. I did not willingly sign up for the program in XXXX and when I asked what the charge was for XXXX XXXX claimed it to be interest expense. 

I believe this also related to the CFBP suing XXXX for the {$700.00} XXXX of unwarranted add on charges to consumers that were not given the option of obtaining the services. 

I am not sure as to the exact amount that I 've paid to debt protection since XXXX.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL)

Complaint:
Several months ago we received a letter from JP Morgan Chase Bank informing us that there was an issue with a trust that we have on file with the bank. The letter stated that our checking account would be frozen if the issue was not addressed in a timely manner. We brought the trust documents to our branch where we were assured that the matter would be resolved. Several weeks later we received the same letter. We brought our documents back to the branch and again we were given the same assurance. A few weeks later we received a third letter from Chase and went through the same procedure one more time. Finally Chase froze our checking account without prior notification or warning. Chase took this action because the names on the trust and on our bank accounts were not identical. The bank is entirely responsible for this error. The freeze caused automatic payments originating from our checking account to be withheld. We incurred a convenience fee of {$3.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and a {$25.00} dishonored payment fee from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department. We requested that the bank reimburse us for these fees in addition to compensation for the aggravation and embarrassment we experienced as a result of their mistake. We subsequently received a phone call from the banks complaint department informing us of their receipt of our formal complaint. We were told Chase Bank is not liable for these errors and owes us nothing. As longtime customers of Chase, we are appalled at the treatment we received. We believe that we should be compensated for our expenses and the ordeal we experienced.

I am filing this complaint to inform you of Equifax willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax continues to report inaccurate, incomplete payment history information on my consumer report. I have sent multiple Dispute letters on XX/XX/21 and again another dispute letter on XX/XX/21. To this day the consumer reporting agency willfully refuses to Delete the inaccurate, incomplete information which is preventing me from obtaining credit, furthermore the consumer reporting agency is Violating my consumer rights along with Defamation of Character because a consumer report is my reputation. Equifax continues to be in Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act by continuing to report misleading information on my consumer file. Under 15 USC 1681e ( b ) the Law clearly states a consumer reporting agency shall follow reasonable procedures to assure Maximum possible accuracy, yet this agency has failed to do so. In addition I have attached documents that outline the Multiple FCRA Violations on my consumer report. Lastly I am demanding these accounts to be Deleted immediately or I may file for litigation due to the agency willful noncompliance, negligence and the harm it has cause my consumer file along with the stress it has cause by having these inaccurate, incomplete items on my consumer report. Im hopeful the CFPB can help assist to resolve this matter promptly

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't get flexible payment options
Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC (IN)

Complaint:
I was experiencing financial hardship two years ago, due to being unable to secure employment, when I tried explaining this over the phone several times to the Agency ( PEAKS ), they kept threatening my credit and telling me I had to pay it in full, or they would send it to collections. Since I was n't employed at the time ( with no Government assistance, Unemployment, or assistance from family ), I could n't make the payments, and they sent my debt to collections. To this day, I 've been trying to work with them, but every time we set something up, they destroy my credit as if I have n't made any payments at all. On top of this, every time I have called, they keep requesting I pay it in full which is impossible, due to my current situation. I 've requested the recordings of the calls a few years ago, but they will not assist me any further aside from destroying my credit. Now I 'm currently unable to secure any sort of funding for anything. ( car, house, etc ) but yet have to pay {$14000.00}. I was unable to repay my loan, decrease my monthly payments at the time, or any sort of assistance from them.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MD)

Complaint:
I received a letter in the mail requesting collection of debt XX/XX/XXXX for a Citibank card. The letter I received says I allegedly owe {$1400.00}. I contacted Citibank to verify what information was in their system to validate the legitimacy of the letter, at which point I was informed that the debt was being managed by a separate collection agency/law office. I found this odd because the debt was not on my credit report and in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating my inactive account was being credited for an identity or credit protection service I had during the time my account had been active. Also in XX/XX/XXXX, I received in the mail a pre-approval letter for the Citibank Diamond Preferred card, which further confused me. Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received another Citibank card offer for a ThankYou Preferred card. If I had outstanding debt with Citi, why would I be eligible for their top cards?
The 3rd party organization also sent a letter claiming to file a foreign judgment with the current state I 'm living in, which I do n't even understand what that means. 

This matter has resulted in further research and I uncovered that Citibank broke the law by providing inaccurate and inflated interest rate information for about 130,000 credit card accounts it sold to debt buyers. The bank also was accused of failing to promptly forward about 14,000 payments from customers, totaling about {$1.00} XXXX, to the debt buyers. When I reached out to the 3rd party company that sent the letter, I was told that only {$200.00} worth of payments to Citibank was recorded associated with the inactive card account, which again makes no sense. 

I also learned that from at least XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, Citi used misleading statements to get people to sign up for debt protection services, and charged for credit monitoring services it sometimes did n't provide, the consumer protection bureau said. XXXX also charged a {$14.00} fee for same-day payment on delinquent accounts, a service that most users did n't need, according to the agency. Which I had clearly been a victim of due to the refund letter received.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (RI)

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I accessed my freed credit report through all 3 bureaus. Equifax is reporting 2 accounts incorrectly. Both are with XXXX XXXX, 1 was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, which is over 7years ago. This account should be off my account. The other account is reporting a delinquent payment, which is not showing on the other 2 bureaus. This was a bank error and was fixed by the bank in XX/XX/XXXX. They reported to Equifax and the bank recently said they reported correctly and all 3 accepted the fixed. The bank is unsure why equifax as decided to revert back to the erroneous information. I tried to dispute through website and would not allow me to submit. My wife submitted her claim. I tried again today and again can not submit. My wife has yet to hear from them about the fixes and the error is still on her credit.
