Consumer complaint received 02-05-2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (HI).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I responded to an advertised balance transfer offer on the Citi 's website, which I use to monitor and manage my Double Cash Credit Card account. The offer was for 0 % percent interest rate on balance transfers until XX/XX/XXXX ( the website advertised that the offer would be expire on XX/XX/XXXX ). I followed up with Citi this morning to confirm that the balance transfers were approved under their advertised offer. In two separate conversations ( one via chat and the other over the phone ), I was informed that the balance transfers were done at the typical 24 % rate and that no 0 % offer on balance transfers were ever offered to me. In my chat conversation, I asked that the my balance transfer request be cancelled and was informed that it was too late as the checks had been cut. After confirming this issue over the phone with Citi, and confirming the balance transfers were not executed under the 0 % interest offer, I closed the account but was told I could not pay off the balance as the balance transfers were pending.

Complaint: Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) operates illegally. Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC Representing, XXXX XXXX XXXX. This company continues to harass me for an un-collectable debt. Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ) may also sometimes make harassing calls. Harassment and abusive calls are prohibited by debt collection companies. Calling at " unreasonable times '' such as before XXXX or after XXXX. They use profane or obscene language during calls. I have numerous witnesses that have heard the conversations on speaker phone. This is illegal according to and under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), debt collection companies such as Portfolio Recovery Associates can not do the following mentioned above while trying to collect a debt. 
PRA is in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ( " TCPA '' ), using an automatic telephone dialing system ( " Autodialer '' ), for allegedly calling me on my cellphone without their prior consent. 
Portfolio Recovery Associates claims they have purchased the XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX . XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card account ending in XXXX from XXXX ( " XXXX XXXX '' ) on or about XXXX XXXX, 2012. I have court records of an order to " dismiss with prejudice '' on this exact account ending XXXX and same amount from another debt collector.

Consumer complaint received 07-05-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Cascade Capital, LLC (DC).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I previously filed a notice of direct dispute with several collection agencies ( namely XXXX XXXX doing business as " XXXX '' & " XXXX XXXX '' and Cascade Capital ), under the provisions of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( D ), of the accuracy of information reported to my credit file in XXXX for entries made to my credit report at XXXX and XXXX for an amount of {$4400.00} with an original creditor of XXXX. Both entries were subsequently deleted as the collection agencies were not able to verify/validate that the debt belonged to me as they found the information to be inaccurate or incomplete, or could not verify the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information. As required under FCRA 623 ( 1 ) ( E ). 

However, I received an alert from my credit monitoring subscription that a collection account was added to my XXXX credit report on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This entry is from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, has an account number of # XXXX, is for the amount of {$4400.00} ( identical to the amount for the previously disputed and deleted accounts ), but lists the original creditor as Cascade Capital. Cascade Capital is XXXX of the collection agencies, as I noted above, with whom I have previously filed a direct dispute for this exact account and for which they are not the original creditor. I have never had an account with Cascade Capital. It is my belief that they are re-reporting this inaccurate account in an attempt to fraudulently collect in violation of FDCPA 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ) by communicating credit information which is known or which should be known to be false, and 15 USC 1692f by using unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt -- by re-reporting the account with a different original creditor and placement date to result in a greater negative impact to my credit scores.

Consumer complaint received 06-10-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (FL).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: Four months ago, I applied the CITIGOLD account with the promotion of XXXX AA miles. Before applying, I double checked with their representative if I 'm qualified, they told me yes, I 'm totally qualified. According to their policy, they should give me XXXX AA miles at the beginning of this month, but they did n't. I called them several times this month, the representatives checked and told me I 'm qualified for the promotion and they should have given me the bonus of XXXX XXXX miles. In the meantime, they told me they 'll go ahead and deposit XXXX XXXX miles to my XXXX account within 48 hours and they 'll email me about this. But I waited for a whole week, nothing happened. Then I called them today, they let me provide the proof that I 'm qualified for this promotion, which is ridiculous since that 's four months ago, how can I keep the proof with me? I receive lots of mails everyday!!! They said if I do n't have proof, then they 'll review the case and it 'll take 30-60 days. I feel like they do n't want to give me the bonus anymore, they 'll take one or two months to deal with this and I do n't even know the result. I feel like I 'm fooled by them. I googled and found out many customers are in trouble with this like me. I really do n't know what to say.

Consumer complaint received 11/27/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with PNC Bank N.A. (DC).
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint: About two months ago, I made 3 purchases with my XXXX debit card. My XXXX debit card is linked to my pnc debit card and the way it works is that when you purchase something with it, XXXX will collect it as a check on your personal debit card. For some reason my account had non sufficient funds and for each of those 3 transactions charged a {$36.00} overdraft fee, then they had the transactions returned resulting in 3 additional {$36.00} return fee for each transaction. Not only did they not pay target but they charged me {$210.00} in fees. As a result of that I also ended up owing target return fees as well. PNC also kept a daily overdraft fee being charged to my account. I tried to dispute these charges and they just told me that that was policy and nothing could be done. I ended up with a negative balance of {$470.00} and they threatened with collection if amount wasnt paid. I ended up paying to avoid collection but that is a steal. They didnt pay for anything so I still owe target this money. I still have to pay target fees. They ran of with all this money from me. I have closed my accounts but I wanted to see what i could receive in help from you guys as I read I could look for help here. Thank you so much.

Consumer complaint received 02/16/2018 about Student loan (Private student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH).
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint: Since XX/XX/XXXX I've been receiving harassing phone calls all throughout the day from Navient regarding loan payments for 2 of my private loans from XX/XX/XXXX I'm currently in XXXX school and notified them of this. They stated I was under Forbearance, but it was running out. But if I paid XXXX dollars over the phone it would bring my account current and I would continue to be in Forbearance till  XX/XX/XXXX. Well They have continued nonstop calling with harassing phone calls since XXXX and asking me to pay another XXXX dollars to for the Forbearance program. Well I contact Navient on several occasions trying to see what program I could get to help me with the 2 private school loans who we're initially through XXXX XXXX, and was told that once I finished school I could have the 2 two loans combined as one, but that never happened. I opt out to borrow XXXX dollars and was told that it had to be taken out in 2 different loans. The loans have blown up to XXXX dollars per Navient. They said I have run out of Forbearance and I asked if I could get help, because i'm not able to make the allotted loan payments. They also charged my account with late fee 's and reported my account to the credit bureau and I filed an complaint and they had to remove the derogatory late payments off my credit. They have since reported that I'm 2 payments late on the loans, even though they told me I'm still under a Forbearance till XX/XX/XXXX. I never received a email or call about the 1st recent missed payment, bit all of a sudden the account is 2 months late. My interest rate is 11 % and XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Navient and asked what other programs am I qualified for since I'm still in school and can not afford the XXXX payment at this time. I was offered a program to decrease the interest rate on the loans and lower the payments from XXXX to XXXX. But was told that the offer was only good for 12 months on the 1 loan and 6 months on the other. And after the time frame, my loans would resume the original amount plus the interest unless I could qualify again. I need help with this issue and finding a resolution before my loans go into default which I don't want that, I want to pay for the student loans. Even though the loans we're taken out under predatory lending practices from XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX which was not a accredited program and was lied to about it.

Consumer complaint received 10-11-2016 about Credit card () with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Wells Fargo just decided to close my credit card with out my prior approval. They are stating that my card has over six months inactivity. I have paid off my Wells Fargo card and have a zero balance, therefore I do n't understand why they closed my card?! The letter Wells Fargo sent me ( dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 ) also indicated " High Balance ( s ) as compared to the credit limit ( s ) or revolving line ( s ) of credit on credit report. '' Another reason is " Low payment ( s ) as compared to balance ( s ) in the last year on your Wells Fargo credit card ''. This makes no sense, since all payments have been timely. I have paid off all my credit cards including the Wells Fargo card in order to avoid debt and this is what I get?! I called the Wells Fargo customer service line on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and they were unable to help me ; the representative said that I needed to call XXXX. I will try them again tomorrow to see if they can reinstate my card. This is very unethical to say the least! Banks should not unilaterally close your cards as a sort of punishment for simply paying them down to zero. Please HELP!!!
