Consumer complaint received 11-05-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint: In late 2016 I received an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX offering me XXXX bonus airline miles if I got their credit card and spent $ XXXX dollars with it within 3 months. Before applying, I called them to verify that I was eligible for the promotion, since I knew I 'd had a similar card at some point in the past. I was assured that I was qualified for the miles. I got the card and spent the money, noticing some time later that I had no bonus miles. 
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to complain, they told me that I was NOT qualified for the miles, since I 'd had the same card in the last 3 years. They explained that they did not positively verify eligibility in advance, only AFTER customers get the card and charge the required amount. I feel this is fraudulent advertising. I cancelled my card immediately. 
Only now, XXXX XXXX XXXX has again sent me an email saying I could get the same bonus miles with the same card. This is something both they and I know I am NOT qualified to receive. This is a fraudulent offer. I 've attached a screenshot of the email I received today. It includes my XXXX member number as a reference. I 've also attached the final bill from my cancelled account.

Consumer complaint received 04/28/2015 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX).
Issue: Payoff process

Complaint: I have been contacted on XXXX separate times concerning balances on my credit cards. I d not normally carry balances but, because of a family emergency, I am carrying them now. In particular, I was contacted by an entity today regarding my Chase credit card. The " hook '' if you will, is an offer to lower the interest rate to 6.9 % from my current 20.24 % ( unfortunate ) rate.The call progressed from a salesperson to a " manager '' that will give me the specifics. The specifics are a flat " fee '' as it was referred to by the manager will be conveniently charged to me in XXXX monthly installments and will " knock off {$1700.00} off of the of the interest charged at the usual rate ''. Wait a minute? So on a declining balance, that would not be true? They switch me to a person in " security '' and as I question and challenge the truth about the switch, I ask them who exactly they are and how do they know about my to the penny balance, available credit, and last payment and what bank it is drawn on? I argue with the " help '' they are offering, and want to see something in writing. This " security '' person states that it 's already done, to which I became angry and ask how could they do that without my consent as there was no point in the conversation that I gave consent. After I stated that I would not be carrying the balance for a year,, The argumentative " security '' person asks if intend to pay the balance in full within XXXX weeks to which I answered yes. He then in a THREATENING manner says he will inform Chase. I ask that he give me his name and he hung up. The initial call was from XXXX.My call was dropped and the " manager '' called me from XXXX. I used this number to call back and it was Chase! Option XXXX is for lenders to obtain balances from credit card holders! I asked to talk to someone in the security department and was told that Chase does not give out this information, which I do n't believe. At one point in the conversation I stated that if it was Chase, why could n't I negotiate a lower rate for my self? I think this is very deceptive, and a means for Chase to burden it 's credit card holders with more debt and that unfortunately many people are deluded into taking the offer. Are any laws being broken here or is it just bad ethics?

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Complaint: I recently was discharged from chapter XXXX bankruptcy we were in for almost six years. We filed bankruptcy because we were in over our heads and I was not working a steady job.

Consumer complaint received 03/23/2018 about Checking or savings account (Other banking product or service) with U.S. BANCORP (IL).
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint: Hello, I have safe deposit with US Bank in XXXX XXXX, IL. I paid the {$130.00} on XX/XX/XXXX approximately XXXX and explained to the teller ( XXXX I believe is her name ) that I will probably be closing the safe deposit box within the next week and if I did would I receive a refund. She informed me yes and I told her I would return. She stated thank you for waiting as it was a lengthy wait on this particular day and I asked again if I would receive a refund. She stated yes again. 

I returned on XX/XX/XXXX and proceeded to do what I thought was appropriate and close the safe deposit box as I had pretty much dissolved any business with this financial institution because of bad customer service. I was waited on by XXXX XXXX and unbeknownst to me as she was cancelling me out I retrieved my items she did not provide me with a refund like XXXX had stated I would receive. I informed XXXX regarding the conversation XXXX and I had on the prior Saturday. I told her that although XXXX did not know the amount she did not know the extent of the amount. I informed XXXX to reverse the cancellation because I would have not paid the safe deposit fee that prior XXXXy had I known and would have retrieved my items that day had I not received misinformation. 

XXXX provided me with a form with an amount of {$95.00} and when I asked her about the additional {$40.00} she became very indignant and told me the fee can go up at any time and that I could not receive a refund. I informed her it was completely unfair that not only was I given misinformation but there was price gouging and asked her to provide me with her full name and the branch managers name. 

She attempted to write her name down on a sticky note instead of providing me with a card and I had to insist on getting the branch managers name. To my dismay the branch manager was sitting right there while all of this was unfolding and told me that XXXX does not handle safe deposit information and would not know how it should be handled. 

I explained to the XXXX XXXX ( branch manager ) that I would have cancelled the box the same day however she would not listen and basically informed me that this is just how it is. I also explained that is really unfair treatment which resulted in me closing accounts in the past and for them to suggest that I can still close and be out of {$130.00} is ridiculous. While this entire ordeal was unfolding, I was on the phone and my witness heard the unprofessionalism. 

My position is had a known I would not receive a refund, I would not have renewed the safe deposit box and returned less than a week later and spend 40 minutes for nothing.

Consumer complaint received 12-03-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with North American Asset Services, LLC (FL).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: In the month of XXXX 2017, I called XXXX XXXX to inquire about services, products and prices. I immediately and specifically told the representative that I DO NOT give authorization for them to check my credit report because I was n't sure if I wanted the service at that time. I was simply conducting a comparison with other providers in my area. The representative assured me that he would not check my credit. I was given some information and told him if we decided we wanted service with XXXX XXXX, I would call back. I now have an unauthorized hard inquiry on my credit report from XXXX XXXX dated X/XX/17. I am not happy and totally disturbed that I would be taken advantage of so quickly and easily simply because I wanted to know about the company 's services and products. I was a former XXXX customer so once I gave the representative my name and address I 'm sure that 's how he obtained my social security number. This is fraud and I want it removed! 
Thank you for your services.

Consumer complaint received 07-08-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint: I opened a credit card account at Macy 's at the end of XX/XX/XXXX to buy a couch. The deal was 12 months no interest. After the 12 months, the interest kicked in at over 25 %. It was my understanding that that rate would be applied to any balance left over after the 12 months was up. I made payments each month. By XX/XX/XXXX, the balance on the card was down to {$220.00}. I made a payment of {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, leaving the balance at {$100.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to make the final payment on the account. This is when I discovered Macy 's added an interest charge of {$170.00} to my account. I called the customer service call center in the XXXX. I was told that the interest charge, if the balance was not paid in full within the 12 months, was retroactively applied to the ORIGINAL AMOUNT of the account. ( I purchased the couch for about {$900.00} ). I explained that this was very different from my understanding of the 12 month promotion and also noted that the most recent statement ( attached ) states that the " balance subject to the interest rate '' was {$270.00}, not the $ 900-plus original cost of the couch. I asked to speak to a supervisor. XXXX, a supervisor, came on the phone and explained that it interest was applied retroactively. He offered to issue a {$50.00} credit to the {$270.00} I am alleged to owe Macy 's. I told him that I was angry and disappointed. I requested he close the account, give me the final balance minus the {$50.00} and that I would pay that. So I 'm swallowing {$120.00} because I know that it could take time to resolve, and apparently interest will keep accruing on the original balance. I am not a person who can afford a random {$120.00} here or there. I feel I 've been cheated by the issuer of this card and by Macy 's and I 'm tired of feeling that I 've been taken advantage of. Ultimately, I 'd like a {$120.00} refund from Macy 's.
