Consumer complaint received 03/15/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (MD).
Issue: Other fee

Complaint: I have independently resolved my issue with my Macy 's XXXX card, and since closed my account, but wish to document with the CFPB and I ask that you pursue with Macy 's as a complaint about this business practice. 
It appears that Macy 's charges an additional {$2.00} " minimum interest fee '' every month, even if you are receiving a bill for the first time for items you have purchased. Not clear, even from reading " the fine print '', what this fee is. 
We discovered this when we were trying to resolve past due payments for which we had never received a bill, neither online nor hardcopy ( though online is our stated preferred method ). Seems to me that this is a fee easily overlooked by Macy 's customers and therefore a clever way ( in my opinion ) for Macy 's to cover the cost of credit card shopping. I certainly agree that people should review their bills every month, but I am betting most people do n't. 
I never got an argument from Macy 's when I disputed this fee, which raises my level of suspicion even more. in fact, once I resolved the overdue payments, made the final payment, and closed the account, I got a bill in early XXXX with a {$0.00} balance AND ANOTHER {$2.00} MINIMUM INTEREST FEE CHARGE!!!!!! 
If you need more specific information, please contact me.

Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: I rented a vehicle in XXXX from a company using the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX says it has no affiliation and states they just use the name ). They tried at the counter to overcharge me but then backed off and I agreed to rent the car. They said they would drop it at the hotel. The car they dropped off had difficulty starting very old, and in clear need of maintenance. I nevertheless less drove the car for 1 day and returned it in the exact same condition unaware of the full extent of the mechanical condition. I realized it was a scam as they failed to provided the necessary documentation they promised, but at that point it was too late as I already rented the car. I returned the car in the 'exact same condition ' as I received it. My colleague attested to this fact. Nevertheless Chase Card services up held the charge and is trying to make me pay for this scam/unauthorized charge. In addition to the rental fees I was charged an additional {$330.00}. I should not be held responsible for the mechanical condition of their vehicle. I have no way of knowing the mechanical history of these vehicles. I do know I returned it in the same condition I received it.

Consumer complaint received 07/15/2016 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NC).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I currently have a Walmart store credit card issued by Synchrony Bank and have had ongoing problems with this bank. Most recently, on XXXX/XXXX/2016, Synchrony Bank reported that I am $ XXXX days past due. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I made a payment of {$35.00} and on XXXX/XXXX/2016, a payment of {$75.00} was made. For the past two months, I have made {$110.00} in payments. I have yet to make a payment for XXXX, but it is forthcoming. 

I do not understand how Synchrony Bank determined that I have missed more than 3 payments. This would had to have occurred in order for me to become {$110.00} past due. In addition, I am consistently being charged interest for going over my credit limit. However, after each payment is made, there is no available credit. Therefore, I can not possibly go over my limit. It is the excessive fees which are causing me to go over my limit. 

There is no basis for this bank reporting erroneous information concerning my payments other than that Synchrony Bank is an unscrupulous lending institution with very unethical business practices. Prior to this reporting, I had no missed payments on my credit reports and as a result of Synchrony Bank 's error, my credit score dropped XXXX points.

Consumer complaint received 07-08-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NH).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Bank of America holds my mortgage and I pay into an escrow account for my property taxes and homeowners insurance. My homeowners has now been cancelled for nonpayment, because Bank of America never paid the bills. When contacted B of A says my insurance company never sent a bill and that I can contact my company to send them a bill and it will be paid. However my insurance company will not reinstate my policy. My agent has searched for a new policy, but due to the cancellation can only find insurance in surplus lines which will cost almost {$2000.00} more than my original policy. I have the papers that show B of A was sent a bill along with later cancellation notices. How could Bank of America know to send me notice that my insurance had been cancelled if Bank of America never received anything from my insurance carrier. Plus I have enclosed the original bill that was sent to Bank of America. I want B of A to pay the difference on my homeowners insurance as they caused my dilemma. It is ridiculous to think this company can just say " oh we never got a bill '' and it relieves them of all responsibility. If I tried that with my mortgage payment I highly doubt B of A would just let me pay if and when I got a mortgage bill without repercussion. Bank of America needs to either pay for the surplus insurance line or they need to get my insurance company to reinstate my full policy at my original rate.

Consumer complaint received 01/23/2017 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: XXXX, XXXX SS # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX ADDRESS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Dispute Department XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX TransUnion Consumer Solutions, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 


I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ACC # XXXX I 've submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account that 's open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to " Verified ''. Since you 've obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX v. XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could n't merely " Parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that does n't even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you do n't initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which I 'm sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

Complaint: I finance a new 2017 Nissan XXXX through Nissan motor acceptance company and was sold gap insurance at the time. Upon the totaling of this car, Nissan approved me for a new loan for another car and the dealership told me that Nissan Motor Acceptance was approving my new loan only because I provided the proof that my insurance was totaling the first car.

You and NissanUSA try pushing the responsibility upon dealerships and gap companies and I have also contacted my Senator in regards to failures from this department to help me.

I know have confirmed that Nissan Motor Acceptance is at the center of all of these delays and is destroying their own paying customer 's credit with apathy. They have failed to provide me, the customer with any documents on file with this company proving the pay off of a refunded warranty package, which was required by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Gap Company ) Nissan responded to many inquiries by myself by saying they sent the documents to me and the gap insurance company ; however, as of today, the gap insurance company confirmed they have never received any correspondence since the claim was initiated. This refusal to help the customer has come to great harm to my credit, my ability to find safe housing in XXXX California where I am attending University and caused me great emotional and financial harm. I was never provided with the documents as a customer that I required regarding the Gap insurance sold to me by Nissan and refused any acknowledgment of my pains or their responsibility in any of this. They have lied to me about what I was buying twice and treated me poorly from the beginning of our business dealings. I will also be sitting Down with my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in hopes of getting help filing suit against this unfeeling company.
