Consumer complaint received 04/18/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: I decided to purchase a leased vehicle and sought financing from J.P. Morgan Chase bank as I was n't able to afford the more than {$14000.00} required to pay for the car in total. A financial structure was set up but now I find after 4 years of automatic deductions from my checking account, totaling nearly {$24000.00}, there 's at least 2 more years left to pay and a payoff balance of more than {$6000.00} which means I will have paid {$30000.00} by the end of this set up. Is this predatory lending? I have been a preferred customer with the bank for over 30 years. What can I do to negotiate a better deal as a retired XXXX year old living on a fixed income? I tried to return the vehicle back to the dealership but they refused.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXXI contacted Navient stating that I have been paying my student loans for over 5 years now and my principle has not decreased. The loan was sold to the from XXXX XXXX which was previously owned my another company. I requested the original paperwork so I could see all of the transactions and payments I have made. Navient was not able to provide me this information. I then asked to change my repayment status so that I could qualify for Public Service Health Forgiveness. I was instructed by Navient 's representative to not change my repayment plan and that as long as I continued to make 120 payments the remaining portion of my loan would be forgiven. XX/XX/XXXX - I contacted Federal student aid and was informed that I did not change my repayment status, the last 7 years of payments did not count towards forgiveness. I called Navient and asked for a copy of the transcript of our conversation from XXXX. Once again Navient was unable to help me.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I obtained from Experian the annual free credit report to which consumers are entitled. I noted there were XXXX hard-pulls for information from " XXXX XXXX '' throughout XX/XX/XXXX I have nor have ever had any accounts with XXXX XXXX or their affiliates. I received no solicitations for credit card business from XXXX XXXX. I similarly have no credit, gas, or store cards. I immediately disputed this with Experian, requesting an investigation. I similarly contacted XXXX XXXX numerous times, and they refused to provide any explanation. 

Similar " XXXX XXXX '' inquiries have been made of another c.r.b. during the same time period. 

Also, during the time period in which these inquiries occurred, I was involved in a dispute with a local attorney regarding an estate matter. I find the correlation between these XXXX seemingly unrelated matters very curious. 

Experian 's response was to simply remove the entries from the credit report without providing an explanation. I sent Experian a letter on or about XX/XX/XXXX expressing my dissatisfaction for the trivial way in which they handled my concern. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a revised credit report that omits the " XXXX XXXX '' requests. No explanation was provided for why XXXX XXXX, or someone purporting to be them, made these XXXX requests, and Experian likewise complied each time XXXX XXXX times in XX/XX/XXXX ). This activity is highly suspicious. XXXX XXXX will not acknowledge requesting the information and Experian refuses to address the incidents. 

I have spent considerable time trying to resolve this through all available means ( electronically, telephone calls, and standard USPS mail ) I am concerned both that the requester may not have been " XXXX XXXX '' and that Experian inappropriately furnished information to the requesting parties. The concerns are further legitimized by the seeming unwillingness by Experian to provide me the results of any investigation that may have ensued. 

I respectfully request for assistance in obtaining an investigation or the results of any investigation already conducted, as well as those which may be conducted, into why this incident occurred. Thank you for your anticipated prompt attention to this matter.

Consumer complaint received 12/27/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX my credit card was declined. I called Capital One onXX/XX/XXXXto inquire and was told that the additional checking account that I added raised a flag and the account was now restricted due to fraud. I have Power of Attorney of my fathers bank account and added it to manage his affairs. I explained to this to Capital One and they sent me a link to upload bank statements verifying the account owners. Someone would contact me within 72 hours of receipt. 

On XX/XX/XXXXI sent the requested documents and a letter from my fathers bank indicating that I am the Attorney-in-Fact and I 'm authorized to use his account. I also included the case number and my contact number on each document. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I called to check the status of my account to no avail. Capital One indicated they had the statements and someone would reach out to me within 72 hours. 

OnXX/XX/XXXX I called to check the status and was told that because I blackened out the balances and deposit amounts, the documents were invalid. I now needed to send in voided checks. I sent in the voided checks for each account and was told that they needed to verbally speak with my father. I informed them that he is in the hospital and can not speak but I have his Power of Attorney. The manager insisted that they had to speak with him. 

I called back later in the day to speak with someone on the Executive Customer Service Team and spoke with XXXX, a Capital One Fraud Specialist. She indicated that I needed to submit the Power of Attorney documents to Capital One for review. No one could tell my why this was not requested initially. I have submitted the Power of Attorney document and still waiting on a resolution.

Consumer complaint received 09/24/2015 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TN).
Issue: Improper use of my credit report
Sub-issue: Report improperly shared by CRC

Complaint: My credit reports all have freezes applied. However, in speaking to a company with which I applied for credit, I was informed that TransUnion does not have a freeze on my report. And, that the the information on my report was partially the reason my application for credit was denied. This is a blatant violation of my right to protect my credit history from inaccurate information being released. This breech has caused me to lose credit and I demand that the freeze be reapplied to my report. And, that TransUnion be made to pay punitive damages for this breech! 

The documents ( s ) proving my claim have already been submitted via this portal.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2017 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: A few months ago, Equifax was hacked and records of 143 million Americans were copied/stolen. Equifax failed to disclose the hack to the general public for more than a month. The executives decided to use insider trading and sold over {$1.00} million in stock before finally announcing the hack to the public. 

Equifax later set up a website, equifaxsecurity2017.com, that was designed to tell you if your records were hacked. Disregarding the number of terrible security decisions such as a new domain registered with a different affiliate, equifaxsecurity2017.com was not designed to protect the consumer. equifaxsecurity2017.com would give you a random answer no matter what you input. I tried multiple times with my name as " aaaa '' and the last 6 of my SSN as " 111111 ''. equifaxsecurity2017.com is designed to entice the consumer to purchase their  credit monitoring package with a free year offer. 

In addition to all this, if I, an America, want to protect my credit score, why must I PAY for the ability to freeze my credit score? Why is it my fault when my identity is stolen?

I had an auto loan for which they immediately began to garnish employment checks for almost 3 yefor. XXXX XXXX, 2017 I received a letter from Citifinancial saying that they are going to forgive the remaining loan amount of {$280.00} we have not received any statements whatsoever in 3yrs say how much we have paid and what the dates were from those garnishments. I tried contacting them many times over 3 years to get balance owed and verification of payment they say they will send them but do not.

Consumer complaint received 07-02-2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (SC).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: I have never had an account with this company and filed a dispute with all credit agencies requesting it be removed. A Cease and Desist Letter was sent on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as it appears to be a former account but is well over the principle amount owed. 

My credit reports note the debt is disputed and I have not been informed of the terms associated with this debt. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an enforcement order against Encore Capital Group , Inc. headquartered in XXXX XXXX, Calif. And its subsidiaries, Midland Funding LLC , Midland Credit Management , and Asset Acceptance Capital Corp.The XXXX can be found at the following link : : XXXX In XX/XX/XXXX, I had been cleared for bankruptcy after employment loss and medical issues and due to possible identity theft and issues with my bank account, I was forced to delay filing. 

I informed all of creditors of my employment loss and that I was not refusing to pay any valid debts. I regret not being able to pay the original creditor and settled with those in which I was financially able to pay. I have reconsidered filing for Chapter XXXX and will file within the next 6 months. 

I have consulted an attorney concerning a possible lawsuit in this case given bogus debt collectors and unwarranted fees I never owed are the reason for my current financial situation and I find it especially distasteful to hit people when they are most vulnerable.

Consumer complaint received 03/28/2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (GA).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: My husband and I opened a car loan for a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX we had the car repossessed for being a month and a half behind. My husband had been having health problems and returning to his old job was not an option. We paid the amount to get the car back and made a payment arrangement with them. They offered the car at {$570.00} a month and we were agreeable. Unfortunately the first payment was to be made two weeks later and we could n't do it until 6 days later, somehow we were not able to get them to do a payment arrangement and we owed all this money up front. They accepted the {$470.00} every month on the XXXX and we finally got a payment arrangement on the XX/XX/XXXX for {$470.00} that day and a {$100.00} two weeks later and we would start paying {$570.00} on the XXXX and then continue with {$100.00} every two weeks after the main payment date. We have held up our part and yesterday the XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I am having threatening calls of repossession after we already agreed on XX/XX/XXXX for payment arrangements. I checked my credit report and on both XXXX and XXXX I am current on the payments with {$0.00} behind. Credit Acceptance will not allow me to access my account online nor will they tell me why I owe {$840.00}. I have asked for them to send me a statement or an account summary 4 times now and I have yet to receive ONE. We have spent a ton of money on this vehicle and somehow we are told we owe different amounts each time I talk to a representative. It is {$370.00} or {$470.00} or {$840.00}. They NEVER tell me what I owe for but if I do n't pay today they will repossess my car. Forgive me for the angry rant, but this is really really bad for my husband 's health which he is on the XXXX list. We are both trying to make this work and each time we work something out, they call me with repossession threatening phone call. The last payment arrangement I asked for them to email me an arrangement document, they said they do n't do that. My husband told me they would n't honor it because they have yet to honor any agreement we have made. I paid on the XXXX the {$100.00}, two weeks after I made the {$470.00}. It was on the XXXX we started getting these threatening calls without being able to tell me why I owe so much. They wo n't send me anything like they have n't the 4 times I have asked. This company has crooked practices. I will NEVER EVER get another car loan through them.
