Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I asked for a bid from a company via email for transfer of a group of XXXX people, about XXXX miles from a city to the start of the trail. I received a bid via email for the transfer of {$590.00} each way. When I received the XXXX bill the charge was {$2000.00}. I disputed the bill with XXXX. When XXXX rejected my dispute I asked for a copy of the merchants reply to the dispute. The merchant had changed the price from {$590.00} to {$950.00} each way and added extra charges without ever informing that he had changed the prices and was going to add extra charges. There was no contract. When I tried to talk to him in person about a refund for return the trip which I canceled 7 days before we were to return to the city he told me he had a 30 day cancelation policy. At that point I did not know he had changed the fee and had added extra charges. ( I canceled the return trip ( ( XXXX phone calls, XXXX which went on to the company 's answer phone and XXXX to an employee of the company ) ) as the group 's air flights to the east coast were all canceled because the east coast airports were closed due to heavy snow and blizzards. ) I have tried to contact him to resolve the dispute via email, by registered signature required mail and by " sort box '' mail where I have a tracking number and time that the letter was placed in his PO box . He has refused to respond to me. 
I have disputed the fraud charges with XXXX 3 times. XXXX has supported the merchant and this fraudulent charges 3 times.

Consumer complaint received 12-03-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with U.S. BANCORP (MO).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX, U.S. Bank opened or allowed to be opened a premier line of credit ( account number ending in digits XXXX ) without my permission, consent, or signature. Attempts to address this issue with U.S. Bank resulted in a harassment call from an attorney in their fraud department ( contact was from XXXX, call dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX ). 

I also visited a U.S. Bank branch on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX, MO branch - manager XXXX XXXX ) and inquired to see a copy of the original application for credit. I was informed that despite my name and personal information being attached to this line of credit that U.S. Bank would not provide a copy of the original application for credit unless required to do so under subpoena. 

U.S. Bank has been completely unhelpful and are acting solely in their own interests after it appears they engaged in illegal and fraudulent creation of a credit line using my personal information.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: Also, not enough information to verify debt. This company was submitted this collection by XXXX in XXXX 2014, they are just now reporting. I have contacted all parties involved.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. (HI).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: This regards a car loan financed by First Hawaiian Bank. My girlfriend and I have been making over the amount of payments to pay down the debts. We made inquiries about why their records do not reflect the payments. They have not gotten back to me as why. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 the loan was for XXXX. I have applied at least XXXX or more not sure it could be more because my girlfriend made payments from her FHB first line in which the bank had ceased her account, without good reason. She has never been late for any of her personal line payments. But, XXXX from the car loan department was supplied with her first line account information requesting her to please cross reference payments that were applied to my car loan. This is almost a year and FHB car loan does not reflect all the payments made towards the vehicle.

Consumer complaint received 02-07-2018 about Debt collection (Mortgage debt) with National Credit Systems,Inc. (GA).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: They do not have a legal contract with me. In the US law encyclopedia, American Jurisprudence, 73 Am Jur 2d. Sections 90-93 ; it says that one can not subrogate onto a contract that they were not originally on, did not have any interest to protect, and then claim successor in rights and interests. Thus, when an original credit sells the debt, they give up their rights to collect on the debt, BUT they do not give those same rights to the collection agency. The collection agency can not act as a substitute for the original creditor. Therefore they keep trying to collect a debt which is not theirs. They have nothing stating that this is there debt. Attempt of validation is not valid. They are not on the orginal contract. I did not receive validation.

Consumer complaint received 11/30/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: JPMorgan Chase abruptly restricted my checking account for 3 days preventing me from using my own cash because apparently they sent me a letter asking my wife 's employment status and we did n't respond to this letter. They restricted my account without giving me any notification for such a simple reason. I was very negatively affected by this dumb decision because I did n't have any cash for 3 days and I could n't pay my bills and I almost missed my mortgage payment on my primary residence. Which one is more important to Chase? My wife 's employment information or my life, access to food and housing?

Consumer complaint received 12/26/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: The three ( 3 ) major Credit Reporting Companies claimed that the reason ( s ) why my Credit Score was low is " due to the length of times that open accounts have been active and the number of times lenders accessed your Credit report because you applied for Credit or for a Loan ''. This can not be correct or the complete reason for the low Credit Score. I have had open accounts for more than 24 months without ever making a late payment without just cause and regarding the amount of Credit Inquiries once I share my Social Security Number with a company I have no control over the amount of times they request my Credit History information for whatever reason ( s ) or who they share the Social Security Number with. The Credit Score should be based on the number of accounts, the way the accounts are being managed and the feedback that 's offered by the grantors.

Consumer complaint received 03/27/2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NY).
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I visited my dentist office to take care of what I thought would be a quick simple procedure. By the time I left I was sold a GE Care Credit Card with a $ 6.5K limit and up sold dental services which, looking back now, were clearly not needed. Young and naive, I did n't know any better and certainly did n't understand the racket I would be subjected to years to come. This credit card charged-off around XX/XX/XXXX because I was unable to keep up with the terms and conditions of the agreement ( Truth in Lending ), which was not presented to me. The payments I made were primarily applied towards interest due to an already high rate, but also due to a " penalty '' rate for making a payment late. I recall one-time being told that it would go back to the lower rate ( the lower rate being 25 % + or so ) once I made XXXX on-time payments. It 's hard to negotiate with XXXX but I tried, but ultimately lost and stopped making payments because I refused to be subjected to their XXXX, threats, and abusive lending practices. 
This account has ruined my credit. I see now that this company was fined by the CFPB and ordered to pay restitution to its victims. Although I took the card in XX/XX/XXXX -before their 0 % debacle started in XXXX it 's clear that this company was NEVER operating under prudent and fair practices. The practices that they were fined for do not show up out of now where ; this company 's divisiveness and lack of transparency was embedded deep and was chronic behavior. I honestly do not know what rights I have as a consumer at this point but thought I would start here to see what assistance I may have in clearing this negative account from my credit report. I 'm happy to see that this company had to pay for their misdealings and hope that those misdealings result in the removal of this charged-off account.

Consumer complaint received 11-10-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint: I have a current mortgage loan with Suntrust Mortgage , Inc. about 7 years ago I had some late payment and they began to report me as a XXXX as they were starting the Foreclosure process. After about 12 months of working with them, we reached a resolution and I began to make my payments on time. My problem is that since that time, they have HARMED my CREDIT stating that they Foreclosed on my home and that mortgage which is entirely incorrect. They now are harming me from buying a new car or home becuase lenders believe i had a foreclosure in the past. I am still in that home and have not missed a payment in over 6 years.

Consumer complaint received 10/26/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Frederick J. Hanna & Associates, P.C. (closed) (GA).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action

Complaint: Hi. I have called and offered to give you all a copy of the tape I sent to the consumer protection agency showing that you all do utilize unfair and deceptive tactics to collect bogus debts.

Consumer complaint received 09-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (RI).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media. 

Going forward equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for us to have deal with. 

This should be rectified firstly by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected.
