Consumer complaint received 09-09-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint: My experience with Capital One Bank Credit Card Department has been completely horrendous. I applied for a Spark Classic Business XXXX Credit Card. 

I was then prompted with a 7-10 day response afterwards I called in to see what needs to be done and I was told to send in identity documents I did such. I then received a letter in the mail requesting business documents plus the letter and I sent in such.

After waiting well over two weeks I call in again to be told the card was finally approved. It took a few days and I finally received my card in the mail and when I tried to activate it I was yet again prompted to submit identification documents after sending a plethora of them already I was AGAIN asked to send the same documents in.

Beyond frustrated I voiced my concerns after submitting them and I was told it would be resolved. 

Now tonight I received a call from Capital One informing me that the business card can not be activated due to a " discrepancy '' I 'm just completely blown away by how Capital One has treated me here and I thought I was beginning a credit card relationship for my business and also personally as I also have a pending personal credit card application as well. 

Im just truly shocked and appalled by these actions from Capital One Bank.

Consumer complaint received 11/23/2016 about Credit card () with U.S. BANCORP (NY).
Issue: Forbearance / Workout plans

Complaint: I am writing this letter to inform you that I have lost my job on XXXX 2015, and I am having difficulty paying all of my debts each month. This is a temporary condition as I decided to improve my skills by going back to school to get the XXXX license. I suspect that I am going to have trouble paying my debts for the next year as I have depleted most of my savings in my school cost, licensing cost, and personal living expenditures. 

I want to do everything I can to keep my accounts current and stay out of collection. Therefore, I am requesting that the interest rate on my account be lowered significantly, and if I could make interest payments only for the next 6 months ( I should be working and financially stable again ) so that my monthly payment will be lowered, and I can continue making my monthly payments without defaulting. 

I believe that if we both work in good faith, we will save each other unnecessary financial harm and many costs by avoiding going into a reduced debt settlements or a time consuming debt negotiation. 

I would like this payment reduced As Soon As possible so that I can continue to pay all of my bills and living expenses on time and current in this time of economic hardship '' I contacted the company many times after the last communication where they promised to provide some help by modifying the terms of the card agreement on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to alleviate my hardship, but when I call they said that no notes were made in the account so no help could be provided, please see attached and below their original response. 

" Your account may be eligible for a payment relief program, which is designed to save you money and help you pay down your credit card account balance by lowering your Interest Charges and eliminating applicable Late Payment Fees. The hardship-qualification process requires that you provide additional information to determine your eligibility for assistance ; additionally, enrollment in a payment relief program would typically close your account to new transactions. If you are interested in this program, we ask that you contact our Collections Department at XXXX for further review ''

We need CFPB to protect us here, as we are dealing with a KNOWN PREDATORY BANK. They really hurt our credit and it is NOT OKAY. 

Please Help Us, XXXX & XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint: I feel that Bank of America committed an act of retaliation in the most obscene and disgusting way possible. On   XX/XX/XXXX ,  I placed a claim of fraud agains t one o f their customers in which I sent a transfer to. By mid   XX/XX/XXXX , th ey were stating that they stopped trying to get the money back. Honestly, I feel like they never tried, so I was out of my money of {$1400.00}. I tried to escalate this to the CEO of the company and apparently this was a huge no-no in their little world. Let me add, that not once have I overdrafted my account. So, here is the deal, today,   XX/XX/XXXX  2017,  m y deposit of almost {$900.00} hit my account for the week. Fortunately, I got gas at the beginning of the day and a few sodas, but by mid-day, on a Friday mind you, they instantly decided to shut down the account. No telephone calls, no emails, no letters in writing, nothing formal and I am left in the dark without a clear idea of what happened. I, then, called the customer service unit and got transferred. When I asked for a clear reason why my account was closed, there was no clear reason of why it happened. I was left completely in the dark. I got served with " Bank of America has the right to close your account at anytime ''. Well, that is nice, but why must the representatives of the bank be so smug and arrogant about it. This is hardly professional. It is almost like I worked for a week and Bank of America took it upon themselves to say " Well, we got this scammed out of {$1400.00}, what is anothe r $  XXXX +?  '' " He can handle it and we do not care if his refrigerator is empty, we do not care if his car payment is coming up due, we do not care if his day to day expenses need to be covered. We just care about  XXXX  this guy over because {$1400.00} was not enough. '' This is deplorable, unethical, and yes, I understand, perfect legal, but how am I to live over the next several days? All my money is wrapped up with the bank and they state how they will let me take my money from branch office. Yeah, they are giving me permission to come to the bank in  1 to 3  business days to get my own money. Guess what, Bank of America, THAT IS MY MONEY AND YOU ARE COMMITTING ACTS OF FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING. You are holding my money, loaning on it, gaining a nominal interest rate on it, and doing of ton of interesting things that only banks like you know to do with it and what do I have? Nothing, nada, zilch, and a complete and utter upheaval of life. You have no class and that is unacceptable. Just because it was legal to close my account, you could have given me a date of when the account closure was going to happen to insure that I stopped checks, ACHs, and other items from being withdrawn from the account.

Consumer complaint received 06/19/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment on my account of {$1400.00} to bring the balance to XXXX. The next day, when I checked my account, I could not see that the payment had posted and my due date was that day, so I wanted to make sure it was paid. I tried to create a new payment, this time for {$1300.00}, but received an error message telling me I was trying to create a duplicate payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice from my bank that the company had attempted to process an " Auto-Pay '' transaction in the amount of {$47.00} to an old account that I have closed. I believe I may have given them the wrong account information when I set up the Auto-Pay, but the Auto-Pay should not have been processed at all because the card had already been paid in full. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice from my bank that the company had attempted to process the {$1300.00} payment, but it was rejected because I did not have sufficient funds in that account at the time. I am glad it was rejected, because according to the company 's statements, that payment would have brought my current balance to negative. The company 's system never should have allowed me to create a payment that would take my account into the negative. Over the weekend, I received several emails from a company advising they were unable to charge my approximately {$350.00} purchase to that card. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the company to discuss the issue. The account statement viewable on their website currently shows my Total Credit Limit ( " TCL '' ) at {$1500.00}, my Current Balance ( " CB '' ) at - {$1200.00}, my Pending Charges ( " PC '' ) at {$1300.00}, and my Available Credit Limit ( " ACL '' ) ( defined as TCL - CB - PC ) as {$140.00}. They informed me that the reason my ACL was {$140.00} was because they had placed a payment hold on my account for the {$1300.00} payment to ensure  that the payment was credited. Despite several attempts, and speaking to a supervisor, the company refused to do any of the following : 1 ) remove the payment hold for the payment that should not have been allowed and is not going to be paid ; 2 ) change my ACL to accurately account for the negative value of my CB ; or 3 ) increase my credit limit so that I can use the card to a reasonable extent while their labyrinthine system processes the entire issue. The supervisor with whom I spoke refused to acknowledge that the system treats any negative CB as XXXX for the purposes of calculating ACL, but explained that having a negative CB would not increase my ACL because the company does not want to process single payments that exceed the TCL.

Consumer complaint received 09-12-2015 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with loanDepot.com, LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have a XXXX Homestyle Renovation Loan being serviced by imortgage in XXXX, AZ. I had the mortgage company required consultant submit the third and final draw request complete with all of the documentation for the draw on XX/XX/XXXX and it was received by imortgage according to an agent I spoke to, XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX and he said he would process the checks. This money was to pay the contractors who had finished work on my house two to four weeks before. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call not from imortgage but from an appraiser that originally appraised my house stating that imortgage wanted an appraisal by XX/XX/XXXX. As I was on vacation in XXXX, which was known by both the agents I dealt with at imortgage, and was not due to return until XX/XX/XXXX, I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX, the loan administrator at imortgage to express my dissatisfaction for this unnecessary delay to the release of my contractors funds. He said he was not going to release these funds even though the documentation was complete for him to do so. ( The XXXX previous draws have been released with the same information. ) While there is a requirement in this loan for a reappraisal before the final distribution of any remaining contingency funds and the loan is closed I believe XXXX XXXX, is committing fraud by claiming that he can hold these draw funds intended to pay my contractors until a final appraisal is completed. 
While I contacted several XXXX complaint operators, as they are the ones who own my loan, they said they could not help me because they do not enforce the requirements on the lenders only on the customer. 
I will be contacting my Senators and Representative concerning XXXX 's lack of customer service as this is the type of practice that got them in trouble XX/XX/XXXX. I 'm hoping that yours is not just another government waste of time and will actually do what your mandate implies..
