Consumer complaint received 10-05-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was approved for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On a conversation over the phone with a XXXX representative I was told I would NOT have to make any payments on this account for one year, until XXXX XXXX XXXX I 'm not sure why XXXX XXXX, rather than XXXX XXXX XXXX. That is also what all marketing for the card indicated, and it is why I signed up for the card. The phone call I made was to confirm this information. 

I was able to transfer a balance from a XXXX XXXX credit card of XXXX to the XXXX and I made some purchases. 

Within the last week, the final week of XXXX XXXX, I checked my credit score and was shocked to see that I had a series of missed payments for the XXXX and my credit score had tanked. I called XXXX and was informed that I was supposed to be making a payment each month, contrary to what I was told when I signed up for the card, and the marketing advertising the card. 

I immediately paid my " missed payments '' in full. XXXX was willing to admit fault on their part to the extent that they refunded all late fees but they said they were unwilling to remove the negative marks on my credit report. 

This is seriously affecting my future and I feel I was intentionally misled by XXXX. I 've talked to a total of four different XXXX representatives, during the last week of XXXX XXXX and the first week of XXXX XXXX, and none have been willing to help me remove the negative marks from my credit score.

Consumer complaint received 05/14/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit repair services) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WV).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: I paid this company {$290.00} which after reading I now know it was against the law for them to charge me before doing any work. Anyway I paid them {$290.00} on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017  to remove inquiries off my credit report. They insisted I pay through   XXXX    because   XXXX   wouldnt allow credit repair payments. I now know its all part of their scam. They promised results by that weekend the results never came I messaged them and it was first just excuses then turned to them being rude and almost threatening. I have researched this scammer and have found many people who they have also scammed and they are also filing complaints.

Consumer complaint received 06/22/2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with EXETER FINANCE CORP. (GA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint: First off my balance on my personal credit report states that my balance is {$9700.00} and my highest balance is {$9500.00}. Where did the EXTRA {$210.00} come from being that my contract literally just started unless this company charged over {$200.00} interest just to approve the loan which is illegal??? Out of TWO ON TIME MONTHLY PAYMENTS 0 has been reported to any credit agencies. These numbers are extremely inconsistent to the original financed amount which is shown in the photo provided which is stated by Exeter to be {$9500.00}. Out of TWO ON TIME NEVER A DAY LATE PAYMENTS OF {$290.00} which total to {$580.00} my balance has only decreased by {$61.00}. So where have my payments actually went? Why are inconsistent amounts being reported by Exeter through multiple outlets? I also have recorded conversations of the lies Exeter Finance has told.

Consumer complaint received 01-07-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with MOVEMENT MORTGAGE LLC (AL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: Contacted Movement Mortgage, XXXX, AL on XXXX XXXX, 2015 because this company is on the Alabama Housing Authority Finance 's lenders list for the Step Up program. Consumer was led to believe that was qualified for this program and a government housing grant because my credit scores are on par. Consumer submitted documents to these clowns but, deliberately, not bank statements. Consumer has not been contacted all this time to confirm that documents had been received are any other confirmation. Today, consumer was contacted by branch manager doing a song and dance number to the fact that their company does offer this program but has put in place other criteria because defaults are high. The company is requiring a XXXX credit score and not the standard XXXX credit score this program requires. This company has wasted my time and energy by not stating upfront this additional criteria. This company is deceptive, to say the least. Consumers deserve better.

I was not aware of XXXX charging this amount to my account for a onetime credit report we pulled and have since cancelled and you will see a credit of XXXX on XXXX and still pending a credit from them for XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05-03-2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with DISCOVER BANK (NY).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: After submitting multiple reports, phone calls, emails, etc. it is apparent that Discover will not compromise or help out my situation at all. I have tried everything in my power as a consumer to get them to negotiate my interest rates, apply for the hardship assistance program, only to have them tell me that I do not qualify and they will not budge. 

This is nothing short of Loan Sharking, and it will not stand. I am a human being and deserve to have consumer rights. If I do n't apply for hardship assistance, working/owning XXXX full time businesses, while not being able to afford groceries, rent, phone, or any other expense besides my student loans. I do not miss my payments. I pay between $ XXXX {$1200.00} with all my student loans combined ; Discover is charging me 8.875 % for a {$11000.00} loan and 7.125 % on a {$19000.00} loan. When I ask to apply for the Hardship Assistance program ; interest rates are reduced temporarily with a {$50.00} per month payment, they say that I do not qualify. 

I made less than {$20000.00} dollars last year. If I do n't apply, who does? Where is the justice system? How are they allowed to get away with Loan Sharking and such fraudulent behavior? If college is a debt sentence, the said debt should be reasonable and not astronomical. Taking advantage of the youth by having them sign papers they do n't understand because they need to pay for college is Loan Sharking. 

Shame on you Discover. It is not secret that all they care about is their bottom line, and the people are just numbers to improve that. It does n't matter if they ca n't afford groceries. At the very least, bare minimum, these companies should be held accountable and made to refinance these outrageous loans that are somehow legal. When we talk about justice, how is it just to have a multi-billion dollar company handcuff a citizen below the poverty line. If someone below the poverty line ca n't refinance their loans, I want to know who can? 

Enough is enough. If the companies themselves wo n't budge an inch, it 's time for our government to step in and protect the people for once.

Consumer complaint received 01/31/2017 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with NETSPEND CORPORATION (ND).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: A company called NetSpend has twice sent me a debit card in the mail that I did not ask for. From what I understand, they gather people 's personal information, create a debit account in their name, and send them a debit card in the mail. The debit card had a phone number to call to activate the card, but said to just ignore the offer if I did not want it. It bothers me that a company opened a financial account in my name that I did not ask for. No, I did not activate the card, but I believe they would have had to create an account beforehand to be able to send me a card in the mail that was ready to be activated. I think this practice should be illegal. And I believe that it could increase identity fraud if there are financial accounts being created in my name that I am not aware of.

Consumer complaint received 10-02-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: hello, I was charged an overdraft fee in the amount of {$35.00} for a {$1.00} check I wrote to NJ-EZ pass check # XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15! I had an ending balance of about $ XXXX {$110.00} in the account, and there was a check I wrote for {$600.00} which was mistakenly deposited a day before it should have been, so that caused the account to overdraw by about {$490.00} or so. Well Fargo will say the checks are presented as they come in at the end of the day, and they will lie and say the check for the XXXX dollars came first causing the account to overdraw! 
they do their calculations at the end of business each day, and items are pending allowing you to make a deposit, so I clearly do not know how they can say they pay the items in the order they come in. 
They do this all the item seeking to charge as much as they can in overdraft fees,. 
While I am greatful they honor my checks ( they should, I have been banking with them for over 8 years, and they have been getting tremendous amount of fees from me in the last year or two ). When I am in the wrong, I do not argue with them for the fees to be returned, but in several cases, such as this, I will. 
Again, {$35.00} for a {$1.00} check???? that is criminal!! 
Why are things like this allowed to happen over and over??? 
why are these banks not presented with stricter regulations on such things as this? 
I am not letting them get away with this XXXX, and need your help. 
I am not rich, support my XXXX mother, and pay over {$300.00} a week XXXX to come to my home, which makes money very tight for me. 
I am sick of this, and want something done about the criminality of Wells Fargo for thinking they can do such things! 
Thank you for your help, pls go after them to the fullest extent

Consumer complaint received 04-07-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with CITIBANK, N.A. (VA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: This has been an ongoing issue, however, today topped the cake. OneMain called me a total of XXXX times today and left XXXX messages. Additionally, my payment was made last week ( XXXX ) which was prior to my due date of XXXX. I feel as though this is an attempt to retaliate because of a CFPB complaint that was previously filed for an unrelated issue. This is not the XXXX time OneMain has called to collect on a debt prior to my due date. Nor is it the XXXX time they have called more than XXXX times in a day. I have even informed OneMain that their collection practices are illegal, however, they have disputed this with me and continue to attempt to collect illegally.

Consumer complaint received 08/23/2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with NRA Group, LLC (MD).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint: XXXX calls REPEATEDLY : EVERYDAY, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, ANYTIME OF DAY OR NIGHT and has been doing so for at least a year. I reported them before ; they stopped calling periodically.

Consumer complaint received 03/20/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint: Contacted Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX regarding accrued interest on the account. I have several balance transfers on this card which is the primary use of it. I have no interest accruing charges on it. BOA has been allocating all the payments made to the " first balance transfer date '' and not to the expiring transfer dates. This has caused those zero percent balance transfers that are expiring to now become interest accruing transactions. I have other balance transfer cards with multiple transfer timeframes on them, yet those seem to apply the payments to the ones expiring first, not when the transfer was first taken out. Not only did this occur, but they also didn't even attempt, based on the law, to apply the last two months to the one expiring the soonest, I check the XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX statements to verify payment application. The customer service agents and the floor manager on just kept repeating that the " law '' states they have to apply the payments to the one first taken out. This to me is bait and switch technique where they can then cause the customer undue burden. Granted I should have monitored the online statement but I will opt to change this to a paper statement in the future at their expense of mailing so I can monitor these transactions closely.
