Consumer complaint received 07-06-2016 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: Capital One has ran my credit several times without my permission which has affected my credit due to the inquiry. I have at no time applied for or had an account with Capital One. I have written them on several occasions stating this and requesting removal of the inquiry yet they refuse to remove it and each time send me back an automated response about them having access to my credit file for promotional purposes. Well that is a lie because I have restricted and opted out of all credit card screenings. This is my last attempt for Capital One to remove the inquiries before I have to seek further action.

Consumer complaint received 01/26/2017 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY).
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: If I had n't been given incorrect information by Chase Card Services employees, repeatedly, related to Billing Dispute XXXX via Chase Card Services : Case # XXXX My Acct ending XXXX I could have been working on solving this problem during the time period of XX/XX/XXXX till XX/XX/XXXX when I finally was forced to pay the entire sum of {$4800.00} or incur interest rate charges of over 13 % In other words I lost all of the leverage that I had XXXX XXXX along with precious time due to inaction borne out of my thinking that this problem had been solved. Chase Card Services had all of my calls routed to a call center in XXXX, XXXX where calls were never answered directly, the telephone message box was full or returned calls were incomprehensible due to language problems on the part of the caller. I attempted one last time to have the charge reclassified as " in dispute '' and was met by stalling and bureaucratic responses by Chase employees who apparently had no authority to do anything but repeat scripted stock responses. 
My complaint is that incompetence and ineptitude on the part of Chase Card Services employees may have resulted in my having to pay a cost which I might had otherwise avoided had they given me accurate information. I find this impersonal bureaucratic approach to customer service, where the bank puts the interests of the merchant ahead of the customer, or where the sloppy and incompetent handling of the case by the bank 's employees leaves the individual customer on the hook to be completely unacceptable and I am seeking redress.

Consumer complaint received 02-01-2017 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with CITIBANK, N.A. (WA).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: MY SISTER, XXXX XXXX XXXX, DIED XXXX XXXX, 2016 IN XXXX, WA. SHE WAS A CLIENT OF CITIBANK AND I AM THE EXECUTOR OF HER ESTATE. SHORTLY AFTER SHE DIED, I NOTIFIED CITIBANK AND WAS TOLD TO FAX THE IDENTIFYING PAPERS TO THEIR OFFICE OF DECEASED CLIENTS. I DID THAT AND THEN WHEN I HAD NO RESPONSE I CALLED AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MAIL THE NOTARIZED DOCUMENTS : DEATH CERTIFICATE, AUTHORIZATION TO SERVE AS EXECUTOR, PICTURE ID, AND DEPOSIT SLIP IDENTIFYING THE ACCOUNT. I DID THAT ACCOMPANIED WITH A LETTER ASKING THEM TO SEND HER STATEMENTS TO ME SO I COULD CLOSE THE ACCOUNT. 
SO FAR THIS SOUNDS QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD. NOT SO. THERE IS NO BRICK AND MORTAR FACILITY IN WASHINGTON STATE, ONLY ATM 'S. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DEAL WITH THEM FACE TO FACE AND NO NUMBER FOR THE DECEASED CLIENT OFFICE. EVERY TIME I START WITH A SERIES OF PHONE CALLS I CAN GET NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE PAPERWORK IS. IT IS NOW FOUR MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE NO INFORMATION FROM THEM. I KNOW THERE IS MONEY SITTING IN THE ACCOUNT AND I NEED IT TO CLEAR HER BILLS. I HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED A STATEMENT FROM THEM. 
THIS IS LIKE YELLING INTO THE WIND. 
I HAVE NOW SENT A COPY OF THE FIRST LETTER AND A NEW LETTER TO THE XXXX XXXX DEPT THAT IS FOR STATES WITH NO WALK-IN OFFICE. 
CITIBANK NEEDS TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE DEPT. FOR DECEASED CLIENTS CALL ME AND DEAL WITH MY SISTER 'S DEATH. 
NO BANK SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER SERVICES ACROSS STATE LINES WITH NO OFFICE IN THE STATE TO HANDLE THESE PROBLEMS. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS DOES N'T HAPPEN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE PHONE ACCESS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH.

Consumer complaint received 11-08-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: The bank closed my accounts. The bank did not give me notice, they did not tell me why. I was not negative with them. I never let my accounts overdraft, I never argued with them. First thing did was lock my debit card out without explaining. Then they said that was done in error because the customer service agent had accidentally marked it as fraud. Then they said the next day they decided to end the relationship with me and put me on something called hotfile and wrote me as a bad customer on XXXX. I told them I never reported my debit card being stolen at all, yet they said sorry. Because the customer service agent did some how Bank of America says it 's my fault. Now I ca n't get a checking account anywhere, because every where I try they get reviewed and closed. All because bank of americas customer service marked my debit card as being stolen, then told me she did that by accident and that there was no way to reverse that. On top of that I had XXXX $ in my accounts they held this and charged me a research fee every week. Until finally telling me I had XXXX $ left and would n't ever refund it.

Consumer complaint received 09-01-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AR).
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint: I recently relocated to a new city/state and am in the process of buying a new home. I knew before applying for pre-approval that my credit scores needed to be in good standing before submitting an application. So I took a hit and took out some of my retirement savings and paid down most of my debt before applying. I used website like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to monitor my credit and make sure my scores were headed in the right direction. I pulled report from all three credit bureaus and saw that my scores were, XXXX, and XXXX. They all showed the same on all three websites. I even called XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX that those in fact were my scores. So I applied for pre-approval with Wells Fargo bank. They came back and told me that my score that they pulled showed my score at XXXX! Imagine my shock when seeing a XXXX point swing! So I called Wells Fargo and asked why such a huge discrepancy?? They said they had nothing to do with my credit pull and the report came from a company called XXXX. So I called XXXX, and they proceeded to tell me that the scores they provided came from the credit bureaus and I needed to call them. Zero help, from either place. All playing the blame game. So I called XXXX back and verified my score was in fact XXXX. I called wells Fargo again! No help, told me they had nothing to do with the numbers and did n't know what method was used to pull the scores that it was handled by XXXX! I called XXXX, again, and they told me their information came from the bureaus!! Not XXXX person could explain to me why there was a XXXX point difference in what I saw as my scores and what they saw as my scores! Not XXXX ounce of empathy or caring from any of them!! XXXX credit score barely qualifies for and FHA loan and means I 'll be stuck paying a PMI when I should n't have to. And these banks and companies could care less because they 're getting paid regardless! No one tries to help you and no one cares that you spent {$10000.00} of your retirement to put yourself in a good position for a loan only to be told your efforts mean nothing!!! This process needs to be fixed. We as taxpayers bailed these banks out and we are still treated like XXXX class citizens at best. It 's shameful, disrespectful and down right greedy.

Complaint: I have been a customer with XXXX credit cards for over 4 years and opened XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX.

But they credited only {$710.00} at the rate of XXXX cents per point.

Consumer complaint received 05-10-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NC).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I applied to XXXX XXXX, in XXXX, NC on XXXX 2013. I took XXXX XXXX classes, which is a 2 yr program. Every semester the school would do our loans and all we did was come in and sign the paperwork. The school notified the students that we no longer received our loans through Sallie Mae, and would not provide us with any more information. When I asked for all my paperwork explaining the fees for the loans, I was ignored. I further looked into the situation and found out that I was being charged ROOM and Board, Gas fees and additional fees that did not pertain to me. I have my own residence, supplied my own gas, etc, but the fees were being deducted from my loans regardless. I just do n't see why they were taking that money from me if non of those were provided to me. I would like some kind of explanation on why charge me for something that is NOT being provided to me.

Consumer complaint received 08-02-2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (KS).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: None of the above choices applies to the situation I 'm complaining about. Therefore a " yes '' or " no '' answer to the question, " Have you disputed the issue with the credit reporting company .... '' is not possible. The credit reporting company ( Equifax ) has PREVENTED my attempts to dispute directly with them. Here is the complaint : Using XXXX, I discovered a collection account on my Equifax credit report that I wish to dispute. I attempted to use Equifax 's online dispute form to initiate the dispute. 
The Equifax dispute form requires a XXXX-digit confirmation number. In other words, I would have to purchase a credit report from them in order to initiate the dispute. That 's my complaint : There 's no way ( that I can discover ) to initiate an online complaint with Equifax without paying them money.
