Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: In the past year or so I have received hard inquiries on my credit report for attempts to open accounts via this bank. Various sub companies under this back ( lowes, and american eagle ) have had repetitive attempts. I have placed the proper freezes on my credit, however attempts to open accounts continue. I do not feel that this bank makes any effort whatsoever to help rectify identify theft incidents regarding their institution.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I had gone into the XXXX branch in XXXX XXXX NY on XX/XX/XXXX. To apply for opening mortgages for six properties in XXXX PA. XXXX XXXX was the mortgage broker I dealt with as well as his branch manager XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXd ( it had to be escalated to the VP of XXXX County ). He informed me that after he has all my information and paperwork required, he would run my credit. I said he may only run my credit ONCE. He made two hard inquiries on my credit, one with my knowledge on XX/XX/XXXX and the other without my knowledge on XX/XX/XXXX. All within almost a 30-day period. I had then received 5 commitment letters from XXXX XXXX and the loan processing office in Ohio, on XX/XX/XXXX. Which I signed all 5 letters and sent them back, that day. For some unknown reason, which XXXX XXXX did n't inform me, until the closing of the 4 properties. He stated, '' Lets close on these 4 properties, then we will close on the last one after ''. I asked why and he said, " It makes things easier ''. I complied with his 30 years of experience, he had made a point to tell me in the beginning of the process on XX/XX/XXXX. We only closed on 4 properties which took 5 months to close on. He never reached out to me to close on the 5 properties. I had to escalate it to the VP XXXX XXXX. I tried to explain to XXXX, the situation and sent him an email of my signed commitment letter. We had a few correspondences and he not to worry, we have your credit report on file for 120 days. XXXX got back to me on XX/XX/XXXX, telling me there is nothing he can do, the commitment letter has expired and they must redo my application over. I had him send me that in an email. I have not gone through with the application process again. I do not want to run my credit for the third time. I lost that property too. I have all supporting documents to support what I mentioned today.

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2015 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I refinanced on my first mortgage with Wells Fargo, and closed on a Heloc at the same time. I was supposed to get a XXXX draw on my line of credit at closing, however as the weeks passed and the draw never made it to me, Wells realized they made an error and somehow posted the XXXX to pay down the balance on my first lien. After the loan funded, and I confirmed the XXXX was in route to me, I took out a loan with XXXX ( as that was the whole premise of getting a Heloc, due to needed home repairs ). Wells has admitted many times over the last XXXX weeks ( XXXX weeks since closing ), this was their error due to a new system and the Heloc and first mortgage department not working well together, and that they would " make it right and refund the XXXX ''. I am now being told just because I live in Texas they ca n't make it right, and I am now out the XXXX. I was also told I needed to make the payment on the Heloc as of XXXX otherwise my credit would be impaired. I made that payment, however I am now paying on a Heloc payment I did n't receive, at a higher interest rate than my first mortgage. This makes XXXX sense, and Wells Fargo needs to figure out a way to right the wrong. I should n't be penalized because of living in Texas, even if this means they write a check to me for XXXX, write off my Heloc so I can apply for a new one or pay off my XXXX 's account. It 's been XXXX weeks and no one seems to be giving me updates. I asked if I needed to get an Attorney, or lodge a formal complaint and was told they handled that for me. This is a large problem. I XXXX and know that if a mistake is made, it has to be fixed. I do n't care that my first was paid down, that was n't the point of spending XXXX painful months working on a refinance with Wells.

Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Unable to open an account

Complaint: I have been a Chase Bank customer for many years and had a checking and pre-paid card with them. In 2014 I called Chase Bank to file a dispute on a fraudulent transaction on my pre-paid card and all my accounts were unexpectedly with no explanations. I reached a Chase representative in the overseas area, and that representative closed all my accounts without advising me that all my accounts were being closed or why, and placed a remark as " excessive claims/disputes '', which I was only notified after contacting Chase by phone. I never had excessive claims or disputes on any of my accounts. Today I contacted Chase Bank to determine how to correct this error and remove this remark, but got nothing accomplished.

Issue: Communication tactics

I have received another phone call today from NCO but, they hung up on me when I answered. I want this company to stop calling me and my relatives. If they believe that I owe them something or am legally required to pay money that they believe is due to them, they should contact me in writing. At this point, I consider their repeated calls to me and my family as harassment. The number that they called me from today is XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 06/26/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: This is a follow-up to a previous claim I made thru this site to JPM Chase regarding my mortgage loan # XXXX refinanced in XXXX. JPM Chase states that they indeed processed a HARP loan which was not stated originally. However, JPM Chase failed to adjust the loan rate to reflect the HARP rate at the time which was below 4 % not 5 % which is the rate I have been carrying on my loan. As stated previously, JPM Chase never disclosed to me that they were processing a HARP loan. It was only until after I read about this program years later that I enquired other lending institutions and then Chase themselves, if I could apply. I was told no but without further explanation. Also, last year, due to other issues I 'm dealing with that involve the ownership of mortgage notes, I questioned JPM associates about the ownership of my note. First they stated JPM did not sell its loans and confirmed that my note was with them. It was only until after I posted the claim thru the CFPB that JPM stated that it was with XXXX. I purchased my house in XX/XX/XXXXand my LTV was always positive. I had never defaulted on my loan nor I ever had higher debt than the equity on the house. I believe JPM incorrectly qualify me for a different loan because they had been incorrectly trying to charge me for a transaction on a credit card they never told me they had approved nor had sent me any card nor statements until months later. Their investigation department got involved and although I got the representative to effect a conference call with the vendor JPM was alluding they made the payment to, when the vendor was confirming that the account had been long paid off by XXXX, JPM associate cut me off from the call and never got back to me. A few months later after noticing that rates were lower, I applied to refinance my mortgage. However, Chase indicated that I did n't qualify for the posted rate. When I inquired why, they did n't provide much explanation but indicated that I could refinance it at 5 %. This was not much of a decrease from the existing rate at the time and in fact, the overall cost of the refinance turned out to me much higher than what I previously had. Only the monthly got lowered but the total debt increased tremendously, now I realize. This loan was not to my best interest. JPM Chase was quick to act on the refinance by sending me all docs via e-mail and getting a representative to my house to finalize the paperwork. At no time, did any party involved explained to me that I was signing for a HARP loan and what were the benefits or disadvantages. At the time, my job situation was not solid and any bit of reduction in expenses helped ; however, I see that JPM Chase only took advantage of the situation and did n't act to my best interest.

Consumer complaint received 05-01-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (IA).
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint: I have a line o f credit with Wells Fargo.  On Friday,  XXXX   XXXX , I called to make a payment towards the line of credit in the form of an electronic debit from my non-Wells  Fargo  checking account in the amount of {$300.00}. In reviewing my checking account balance today  (   XXXX   XXXX ,  2017   )   Wells Fargo  applied  XXXX  charges of {$300.00} each for a total of {$600.00}, instead of  XXXX  payment of {$300.00} as I authorized.     I c  alled Wells Fargo this morning asking them to credit the {$300.00} iinot my checking account right away but I was told that it will take them between 10 and 15 business days to credit the {$300.00} back into my account.
It is unfair that I have to make my payments on-time if I want to avoid a late payment and/or other fees and a negative   impact on my credit history/scor  e but Wells Fargo gets to charge my checking account without my authorization and not give my money back until it is convenient for them.
It is also abusive that I have to deal with the consequences of not having the money that I count on to pay other debt at this time of the month, such as my mortgage, because Wells Fargo refuses to credit the {$300.00} into my account right away.

Consumer complaint received 08/24/2015 about Credit card () with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA).
Issue: APR or interest rate

Complaint: I took out a XXXX interest credit card through Wells Fargo to purchase an engagement ring for my fiance in XXXX. I paid off the ring and had a zero balance as of XXXX XXXX. I also purchased our wedding bands with this Wells Fargo credit card in XXXX XXXX. I never once missed a payment and over paid the minimum payment every time. As of XXXX XXXX my balance was {$630.00} when I received a bill of {$1300.00}, with a charge of {$720.00} in interest charges. I immediately tried to contact Wells Fargo and when I called the XXXX time was placed on hold for over an hour and then transferred to a woman who would not help me. I tried to call back XXXX more times to get in touch with someone who could help me to sort this out. Finally I went to the Wells Fargo branch on XXXX in XXXX, PA and I was told they have nothing to do with credit card services. The next day I went into the Wells Fargo branch on XXXX and XXXX and again no one could help. I tried to explain both over the phone and in person I could and would pay the balance of {$630.00} off immediately. I had no idea they could or would be able to charge me more in interest than my remaining balance on the credit card. I never received a notice that I was going to be charged interest, if I had been notified I would have immediately paid the balance. After numerous attempts to contact Wells Fargo with no success I had no choice but remit total payment of {$1300.00} ( cc remaining balance - {$630.00} + interest- {$720.00} ). I still can not believe a credit card company could charge more in interest than your balance and not notify you that you are going to be charged. If I had known I would have paid the remaining balance off immediately. It was very frustrating that I could not contact anyone at Wells Fargo to dispute these charges. Again I never missed a payment and overpaid every month. I think Wells Fargo has taken advantage of me and forced me into a {$720.00} interest payment without warning me this was a possibility or that the XXXX interest terms would be ending.

Consumer complaint received 11/15/2017 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Virtual currency) with Coinbase, Inc. ().
Issue: Other service problem

Complaint: I had opened a Coinbase account in 2015, when I was residing in the US and stopped using it that same year. My email account used for login and 2 step verification was deleted, so I lost access to my Coinbase account.
When I first contacted Coinbase to recover my account based on my personal information, they sent me an automatic message saying that they were having a heavy load of issues to solve, and giving me a list of links to try to solve my problem.
The only way for me to recover my account at this time is by contacting an actual customer service agent, who will look at the new account I created, and the documents I submitted for ID verification, and to link both of those accounts so I can recover my bitcoins.
I have been contacting them every other day for more than 3 months and got absolutely no answer from an actual person.
I need these Bitcoins back. This is my money we are talking about, not some joke.
I would appreciate some help, if possible.
