Consumer complaint received 03/18/2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: I have a been a valued AMEX cardmember since 2004. I have a flawless payment history with them and have a credit score over XXXX. 

I received a call from AMEX Financial Review on Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, questioning my ability to pay for the credit cards I have with them and the new credit cards I have signed up with them. One was in response to a targeted letter offer, and 2 others for a personal and business credit card. 

AMEX threatened that I give them permission to request my tax info from the IRS, or else they will shut down my entire account with them. I have never received this before from Amex. It is very shocking because they are demanding to see my private financial information. In response, I have paid off one credit card in full, and planning to pay off the remaining one within the next few days. I do not know what else I should do. I refuse to allow anyone threaten me and violate my privacy. 

What should I do here?

Consumer complaint received 01/20/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (CO).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I have attempted to contact Navient multiple times to change the amount I pay each month regarding my school loans. XX/XX/2016 I took a paycut of about {$20000.00} in income. Since then I have been struggling to make my payment each month and since I am on a income based payment plan I have tried to update my income with Navient. Each time I call in the say they will send an email with instructions on how and where to adjust my income. The email I receive does not show me where I should go on their website and takes me in loops when I follow the instructions provided in the email. Therefore, I have been late on other bills and payments to other institutions since my school loans are pulled automatically and I ca n't afford the amount I pay each month. Contacting Navient has resulted in the same email with no help from whomever I speak on the phone with. I have given up on trying to contact Navient and am attempting to struggle through each month. 

I also have difficulty understanding the amount I am being asked to repay. When I have called in to Navient, the customer service reps have been unable to explain why different loans have different rates. I feel as if the people working with Navient are not versed in the basic information I need to answer the questions

Consumer complaint received 08-01-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MI).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I signed up for Citibank 's Citigold account via a promotional code ( XXXX ) in XXXX 2015. The promotion was to to earn XXXX XXXX XXXX AAdvantage miles. Earlier this year, I met all the requirements. However, the XXXX miles still have not been deposited into my account. I spoke with and messaged Citibank multiple times over the course of the past few months ( both by phone and via online chat ). Every time, they told me that the promotion code was good, confirmed that I was eligible and that I had met all the requirements ( and that I had completed those requirements before the deadline ). Unfortunately, they are now refusing to honor the promotion and will not give me the XXXX miles. They just sent me a letter stating that I was not " targeted '' for this offer and so they will not honor it because only " targeted '' clients are eligible and that because I was n't supposedly " targeted '', that means I " will not qualify for this promotion ''. However, they told me no such thing when I applied, nor at any point during my numerous conversations with them. In fact, they kept reiterating that I was eligible and that I had qualified by meeting all the stated requirements. Please help.

Consumer complaint received 10/27/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with West Virginia Housing Development Fund (WV).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: This is not one specific incident, simply a frustration with a recent change to mortgage billing. I believe a law has recently been enacted that requires monthly billing statements rather than coupon booklets ; I presume the method behind that is to serve as a reminder for borrowers to make their payment, rather than being expected to submit payment on their own via coupon booklet without prompting. That, in and of itself, is ridiculous ... .the mortgage payment is due at the same time every month ... 
if you ca n't be responsible for making such an important payment, then a late charge or being reported to the credit bureaus, is simply a consequence that you 've earned. All of that aside- if monthly billing statements are necessary, why can they not be mailed out earlier in the month? Typically these statements are cut in the middle of the month, by the time I receive the billing statement, often I 've already mailed payment in. It 's frustrating, because losing the ability to use a coupon booklet limits the control you have on when payment can be mailed & what documents you have available to you before issuing payment.

I want the PMI to be automatically removed since I reached 78 %. My loan account number with them is XXXX.

Complaint: I have inquiries on my credit that do not belong to me and I have disputed these multiple times with the credit bureaus ( Equifax XXXX ). I submitted a police report, FTC report and letter 3 times and they refuse to remove these in violation of section XXXX. Under this section, all disputed account must be blocked within 4 business days and require a full investigation.

Consumer complaint received 07/14/2016 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Financial Credit Service, Inc. (NY).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: ARA XXXX XXXX and others continue to call me regarding a debt I do not owe. They call and hang up serveal times during the day. I have asked repeatedly that they remove my cell number from their contact list as I am not the person they are seeking, I am on a do not call list that is verified and valid. They ask me to verify the Social Security Number, Credit Card information and other identifiers of a person they believe to owe the debt. I can not and refuse to do so in any capacity. They told me the calls will continue. This is wearing on my nerves and causing me XXXX!

Consumer complaint received 01-12-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint: Despite four notarize written requests delivered via certified mail to have eight unverified accounts deleted from my credit report ; the eight unverified accounts remain on my credit report. The bureau stated in their responses that the accounts were listed as valid ; however, Equifax has continuously failed to provide me with a copy of the documentation that they have used to verify these accounts as I requested in my letters of dispute. The company has ignored my request, which is clear evidence of their disregard for Federal Law. Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA clearly states they are required to promptly delete all information that can not be verified. I am requesting deletion of these unverified accounts. The law is very clear as to civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Sections 616 & 617 ). If the bureau fails to comply with Federal Law, I will have no other choice but to pursue litigating this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

I have attached the first page of the four dispute letters that I sent to Equifax, the second page is omitted as it contained a copy of my SSN Card and Drivers License. In addition, it also contained the seal of the Notary that notarized the dispute letters.

Consumer complaint received 02/27/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: I attempted to make a purchase at XXXX XXXX online and I mistakenly entered the wrong CVV numbers, which resulted in my card being declined. However, it still out the funds in pending status on my account, making it impossible for me to spend {$170.00}. But I had a different unexpected expense this week that I had to cover with my debit card and my credit card is the only thing I have to get me through this week. 
So I called XXXX XXXXXXXX and they called Capital One, and XXXX XXXX confirmed to them that there arent any pending orders and they wont be collecting those funds. Capital One said too bad, they arent releasing them. I dont understand how its legal for them to hold onto my money when its been confirmed by the merchant that no one will be collecting those funds. I will starve this week and probably be fired because I cant put the gas I need in my car to get to work. This cant be legal.

Regardless, I did need help- I NEEDED A BREAK, bc MICROMANAGING MY DFS ACCOUNT has been a NIGHTMARE. AND HONESTLY- WHOEVER CALLED THE POLICE TO COME CHECK UP ON ME, PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHY I WOULD CLAIM TO BE TIRED or state that I HAVE LOST SLEEP.

SO THANKY YOU - FOR ONCE AGAIN, MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I AM XXXX, FOR THE MOST PART- I AM JUST ASKING FOR INFORMATION REPS HAVE PROMISED, BUT NEVER DELIVERED- of course there are other issues but ONCE AGAIN- I AM TIRED- DFS has WORN ME OUT- and I CAN NOT WRITE ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.
