Consumer complaint received 09/15/2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: American Express ( " Amex '' ) arbitrarily and fraudulently revoked XXXX American Express Membership Rewards points ( the " Points '' ) worth in excess of {$1000.00} from my credit card account without authorization and in violation of the terms of my cardmember agreement. Amex representatives had previously verbally confirmed to me that the Points would not be revoked from my account and Amex is currently refusing to honor the explicit promises made by their phone support agent. 

Full issue : I was approved for an Amex Platinum credit card on XXXX XXXX, 2016. My account was opened under an offer to receive XXXX Points after spending {$3000.00} within three months. The value of the XXXX Points is at minimum {$1000.00} based on their ability to be redeemed for credit card statement credit. I fulfilled all offer requirements with a total spend of {$5900.00} from card opening to XXXX XXXX, 2016. 

Since I had fulfilled the offer requirements, Amex deposited XXXX Points into my account on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Independent of this complaint and based on the benefits of the Amex Platinum card not meeting my expectations, I decided to cancel the account on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Before cancelling the card, I called Amex customer support and explicitly asked whether cancelling my account would result in the loss of the XXXX Points. The agent explicitly assured me that they would not, especially because I have other Amex card accounts open. Relying upon these statements, I decided to cancel the card. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, Amex arbitrarily and fraudulently removed XXXX Points from my account. There was no rationale provided to me. I called support to inquire and was told that this was a " corporate decision '' relating to my cancellation of the card which could not be overturned. 

The removal of the XXXX Points was fraudulent. There were no stipulations in my original agreement regarding revocation of Points in this situation. Additionally, the Amex representative explicitly promised that my Points would not be revoked upon cancellation and Amex should be bound by the promises made by its agent. 

If Amex is allowed to take away Points arbitrarily in cases like this, what is stopping them from taking away all of my Points or arbitrarily adding charges to my bill? Thanks for your help in resolving this matter.

Consumer complaint received 10/29/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with U.S. BANCORP (OH).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: A deposit that was made in precisely the manner we were instructed by US Bank when the check is not written to me, the account holder. US Bank reversed the deposit of {$7200.00} claiming that it was not done so XXXX their procedures, which is a false statement as this is precisely how I deposited another check written to my wife, which she signed over to me and I deposited in precisely be same manner just days later. US Bank charged our account excessive overdraft fees forcing our account nearly {$500.00} negative. The account was able to be brought back into positive standing when my paycheck was deposited less the amount in overdraft. US Bank made no intentions to notify us that the deposit was returned and allowed transactions to post to the account and subsequently continued doing so when they returned the deposit. Since then, our balance has been further reduced and we are again in overdraft due to excessive overdraft fees of over {$200.00} in sum on top of the amount they allowed transactions to post to the account. This is firstly related to the reverse of the deposit we made and US Bank and their CEO have failed to address and or rectify the situation whatsoever. This violates the consumer trust and does little more than to create profits to this bank whereby any accounts that become overdrawn are subject to excessive penalties and fees charged multiple times in the same day. This has got to stop and my wife and I currently hold our mortgage, a credit card account and our checking account. This deposit would have helped us establish a savings account whereby we could manage our finances easier in light of the hardships we are already facing. As a former employee of US Bank, I am disgusted at the way the bank had handled and addressed the entire matter and the treatment we have recieved. I maintain the screenshots of the transactions showing all of this to be true and ask that US Bank be fined for their excessive overdraft penalties and return the entire sum of the current overdraft status and previous overdraft status to my account and allow me up to 90 days to open a new account with another financial institution. Whereby the only remaining accounts we will maintain is the credit card account and mortgage. We will no longer do our personal finances with US Bank and we will advise against them directly due to these actions. I am utterly disappointed in XXXX XXXX for allowing this bank to treat a military veteran, former employee and long time consumer in this manner and for allowing the bank to fail to live up to its advertisement of commitment to the consumer. A simple call in regard to this deposit would have quickly and easily allowed these actions to not occur.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax data breach. Millions of American 's personal information was compromised, and I 'm one of them. In addition to Eqifax 's security measures being not-good-enough, they waited FAR too long to notify consumers, which prevented us from taking timely-enough steps to protect our own credit. 

Add in the facts that top Equifax executives dumped a lot of stock in the company before making this news public, and that the resolution steps Equifax is currently offering their effective consumers require those effective consumers to agree to NOT participate in any class-action lawsuit in order to use Equifax 's provided resolution steps, and the whole thing is unacceptable to consumers.

Consumer complaint received 12/20/2017 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with Eagle Home Mortgage, LLC (TX).
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint: My husband and I closed on our VA Mortgage with Eagle Home Mortgage on XXXX XXXX, 2017. We have a close agreement to provide pay stubs from my husbands job at XXXX for the week ending XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. During the loan process prior to closing the first pay stub submitted for evidence was in PDF format because my husband had a paper check that week. The following weeks we sent a screen shot from his computer at work instead of a PDF copy. I asked the loan processor if it was acceptable and she said yes. All pay stubs after were sent as a screen shot from his work computer and sent on time per the agreement. 
My husband is in training in his job. He does not have his own computer. The computer he does use does not have the ability to print, or convert to PDF, or email. After closing, Eagle Home Mortgage has been telling us we are not meeting our agreement by not providing PDF copies. In the signed agreement it does not state the format has to be PDF and I asked several times for them to point me to the regulatory requirement that says the statement has to be printed in PDF.  My husband also suffers from a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX and while Eagle Home Mortgage may think they are providing simple instructions, it does not work that way with his XXXX. Also, if Eagle Home Mortgage required the paystubs in a specific format, that should have been clearly stated in their agreement and not left open for interpretation. When working with people with XXXX XXXX you have to be very specific on the ask or the individual reading it does not understand. I believe they also may be in violation of the Americans with XXXX  Act by not providing an agreement in clear,  usable format for his XXXX. 
Eagle Home Mortgage is going down the process of saying we are not meeting the agreement and will take action to force us to default on our mortgage loan by requiring the balance to be paid for in full immediately. What seems to be happening at Eagle Home Mortgage is my file was selected for a quality control review. The loan processor failed to follow their internal policies with the format of paystubs and rather than taking the hit on not meeting their own requirements, they are penalizing my husband and I for their mistake.

Consumer complaint received 05-04-2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with World Recovery Service, LLC (VA).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint: World Recovery Service  ( WRS ) collected on a debt that I had back in  XXXX  of  XXXX . I received a letter from WRS that states that the account in question was paid in full. In  XXXX   XXXX  I received a phone call from a lawyers office stating that the original creditor was taking me to court because I did not pay my debt. I explained that I did pay my debt and that it was paid to WRS and they sent me a letter proving that my debt had been paid in full. The person told me that they had a string of debt collection agencies that had the debt after WRS. This means that WRS collected the debt but did not report it properly and allowed the debt account to be sold off to another company to collect on. WRS received money from me to pay of my debt and from another collection agency when they sold the debt to them to be collected on. I 'm not sure if this is just a mistake or if this is a trend with their business. I would like for someone other than the business itself to look into this matter to determine if they are failing to report payments they collect purposely and getting paid twice or if this was a one time error.

Consumer complaint received 08/31/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with STATE EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION (NC).
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Late or other fees

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Senior Vice President XXXX XXXX. Regarding my complaints that I had submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I did speak with XXXX XXXX regarding my credit card issues and also my credit score. Like I stayed in my LAST complaint. I had spoken with XXXX regarding a small loan and also to consolidate all of my debt including credit card before it was closed to a charge off. I clearly told XXXX XXXX I wanted to go ahead and pay on my balance. The credit union knowingly knew I was a 10 month employee per the original contract. So during the months of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I am temporarily unemployed. I have spoken abt this issue more than once. XXXX XXXX may have put notations in the system for internal employees. But what Im addressing is the fact that she did NOT reply to none of my emails except for the email that I demanded her to respond. I also received a call yesterday regarding my car payment which I have never been late until recently after I had submitted a complaint to the CFPB. I made it very clear that I was a 10 month employee with the credit union. The credit union did not take a payment out for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. Which me being a 10 month employee Im not supposed to have a car payment for those two months. I have been In contact with the credit union constantly since XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with them regarding my vehicle, credit card etc. I spoke with a branch employee earlier this month I was not notified until the XX/XX/XXXX that a payment wasnt made. So now all of a sudden they have that Im a 12 month employee which is not correct. Everything that has been done is retaliation for me complaining to CFPB. The State Employee Credit Union is saying its there procedures to close someones account when they have suffered a loss. But I have been in constant communication with the credit union I stated more than once I had no intentions of not trying to pay off my debt. I also stated that I wanted to consolidate all of my debt into one payment!! This was before my credit card was a charge off. They have been lying to cover there end. I will not stand to be bullied from this financial institution. I have all of the paper work to back up everything that I am saying. And also a witness who went to the credit union with me trying to consolidate all of my debt. XXXX XXXX and also the other branch workers has been very difficult to work with. I have hired a lawyer and I intend to fight this in court!

Consumer complaint received 04/26/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Finance of America Mortgage LLC (MI).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I started my loan application with XXXX about 2 weeks ago. After putting a rate review on there website I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The reason I went to their listing was because they were boosting a XXXX closing cost refi for my situation. After speaking with XXXX he assured me that it was indeed a zero closing cost loan. All I would have to pay was for the appraisal {$450.00} and have money at closing to cover my escrow for the year. After 2 weeks of sending the required paperwork in, they then notify me that I would have to bring {$2800.00} to closing. This includes my escrow and which is right around {$1000.00}. So they are hitting me with {$1800.00} with fees after their site and XXXX said there would be none. In my eyes this is the definition of bait and switch. Since locking in my rate the rates have gone up so if I were to go with another lender I would not get the 3.25 % rate on my 15 year loan. So not am was I charged for an appraisal that is squandered if I do not continue and pay their fees that they did not disclose and assured me I would not be paying, it will cost me thousands in the long run if I do not pay up ...
