Consumer complaint received 08/18/2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with HARLEY DAVIDSON FINANCIAL SERVICES INC. (NJ).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with fees charged

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I sent a letter to Harley Davidson requesting an explanation of a {$400.00} expense I noticed on my invoice. Having not received a response, I sent another letter to HD asking for the same information and also asking why {$100.00} of my payment was applied to interest only and not principal. Again receiving no response, I sent another letter on XXXX XXXX, asking the same questions. The question about why my entire payment was attributed to interest rather than principal was responded to. It was convoluted and I still do n't agree with how they applied my payment, but I did n't know enough to fight about it. The answer I received for the {$400.00} was it was for repossession efforts by a third party. Since I had not been contacted by any third party, I asked for HD to provide an accounting or itemized billing for this {$400.00}. No one other than HD contacted me or sent a letter, so I wanted to know what this {$400.00} charge was for. I was provided with an invoice simply saying {$400.00} but nothing showing what equated to {$400.00} worth of expenses they wanted me to pay for. I again sent a letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX asking for an itemization of the {$400.00} of expenses that HD had now taken from me. They applied a payment meant for principal and interest to this {$400.00} and then told me my payment was late. To this present date, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I have not received an accounting of this {$400.00} expense. I was told by a gentleman in the HD financial services department on XXXX XXXX, XXXX during a 20 minute phone call that HD was not going to provide this to me, they were not required to per his supervisor, XXXX XXXX. I was told sorry, but too bad you 're not getting an itemization of this expense. I did explain to HD I had not been contacted by any third parties, I had not received any correspondence from any third parties so this is a scam and it 's okay if they do n't want to follow up on it, but I should not be left paying for services that were never performed. Can you please help me to have HD apply the {$400.00} they have already taken from me and apply it to my principal. As mentioned, I am not too sure about the way they apply payments to principal and interest and if you could ensure I am being charged properly for interest, I would deeply appreciate it.

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY).
Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint: I received a piece of mail from American Express with a prequalified offer for the Blue Cash Everyday Card offering me 12 months with a 0.0 % introductory purchase APR as well as 0.0 % APR for balance transfers. I applied for the card and was approved. Upon speaking to a customer service representative I was told that I did NOT have the 0.0 % APR for purchases, and that this offer was never made to me. I called and spoke to ANOTHER customer service representative who informed me that I DID have the 0.0 % intro purchase APR. Having gathered XXXX conflicting answers to my inquiry, I called again and was told that I did not have the 0.0 % purchase APR. Furthermore I was also told that, that offer was not available on the website or anywhere else. Appalled that I had basically just been called a liar by the marketing team, I went on the americanexpress website and quickly found the offer terms for the XXXX Card. If, this promotion is not offered, it should not be promoted on the American Express website, through American Express mail, or on third party websites, i.e. ; XXXX XXXX. This is false and deceptive advertisement. I also asked XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, the XXXX different employees that I spoke with if there was any situation in which the introductory APR would not be available to a customer, a question in which the employees could not answer.

Consumer complaint received 08-03-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PA).
Issue: Shopping for a loan or lease

Complaint: I bought a new Toyota Tacoma from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. My bank approved me for a loan for 2.49 %. I went to the dealer to close the deal I was with the finance person. They said Bank of America matched the loan amount of 2.49 % and that I was already approved and could get my vehicle now instead of waiting for 2-3 for the bank loan to clear. Then I was hit with high pressure misleading warranties to add on. I said I was not interested the pressure and the assurance that total vehicle protection was offered and that it only raised my payment slightly, but I had to make a decision right then and there to take the warranties to add them to the financing, I was hesitant as the the pressure tactics were fast aggressive, and very vague. I was told if I did not take the warranties now I would have to pay higher cost later and would not be able to finance them. They finance agant at XXXX said that the BoA agent she was online with dropped my financing to 1.79 %, so I took the warrranties. A few weeks later, I took the vehicle in for service and was told the items I was claiming under the protection package was not covered after I was told it was before I accepted them. To make a long story short, they refunded my money but refuse to talk with me or address my items that they said they would not cover.

Consumer complaint received 04-09-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: I used my debit card to make a large purchase for a laptop on Saturday ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Due to communication, me not understanding the limits on the card we ( the store and I ) agreed to cancel the transaction to get that information sorted. However, during the transaction my card was run through. My account was debited 1200 dollars in less than a minute. Since the daily limit is XXXX ( and I do n't have an extra XXXX floating around to accommodate the bank ) I was unable to make my purchase that day. I could have lived with that but now it is Wednesday and that transaction is still pending. If it had been an emergency I would have been completely stuck. 
I contacted Wells Fargo and they told me i would have to wait 3-5 days. My concern is that there is n't going to be any further communication from the merchant since it is an incomplete transaction. In previous dealings I have seen ligitiment transactions sit for weeks and they have blamed the merchant. Regardless of when or if it clears they should not be able to let transactions sit like that. 
Additional note ... I have been taking screen shots of that transaction daily. Everyday it is in pending the date changes which makes it appear as if it has been there for 1 day. This is deceptive.

Consumer complaint received 09/19/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (ME).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: Based on information I received indicating that Equifax 's credit freeze website was not entirely secure, I called Equifax to request that a credit freeze be placed on my account. I was told that, in fact, I could not have a credit freeze put on my account via phone. Instead, I was directed to the Equifax website and told that the only way I could put a credit freeze on my account was to go to the website. I told the customer service rep that I did not want to use the website and did not trust the website. No change. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told that one would not be available for another 15 minutes. I said I would wait. About a minute later, the same rep came back on the line and said that the supervisor had told him to tell me that the Equifax website was fine and that I had no other options. I asked whether I could still speak to the supervisor and the customer service rep told me he was " very busy '' and would not be available for quite some time. 

I find Equifax 's response to what is a massive security breach to be callous, at best. They created this problem. They are in no place to be dictating how we try to fix it. Both XXXX and XXXX allow credit freezes to be put on a file via phone. When I called Equifax 's line, they said that I could not do so. This is completely unacceptable and only serving to put additional barriers in the way of people who want to take the necessary steps to protect themselves.

Consumer complaint received 09-07-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint: I am having issues with my XXXX XXXX credit card. Earlier this year i had some fraud occur on the account and it lead to a late payment to my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX of 2017. I contacted XXXX and they sent me a letter stating that a request was sent to the credit bureau to have the 30 day late payment removed. It has not been removed and I have disputed with credit bureau and they state XXXX is not removing from bureau.
I also have another recent issue with them where apparently my mail is being returned to them from the post office so i did not receive my last statement and the account went 31 days late. I tried calling in to speak to someone on XX/XX/XXXX and the fees were credited due to the proof of the mail being returned but i am afraid they are going to do to me the same thing they did earlier this year. Neither of these issues are my fault and need to be token care of.

Consumer complaint received 04-07-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I originally contacted this company in early XX/XX/XXXX about some incorrect information on my credit report. I had a lot of inquires I did not authorized on my account. I was told to send in a letter listing the inquires I didn't authorize. Ok great, so I sent a XXXX letter to the company informing them of the inquires that weren't authorized by me. ( on or about XX/XX/XXXX ) Fast forward to today, I called transunion to ask about the status of my letter and was told the only way they will delete them is if I call all of the places, get letters from them, then file a police report for fraud, put a fraud alert on my credit and mail all of these things to them. 

This is absolutely absurd. I'm now demanding that you step in and require them to delete these unapproved inquires off of my report as I believe they are now hendering my ability to obtain credit. I'm well aware of my rights under the FCRA as well as the only reasons an inquiry should even be listed on my report. ( firm offer of credit, insurance, employment or court order ) NONE of these following inquires meet this nor have I authorized them. 

XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX   XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX   XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX When I contacted transunion today I got information I believe to not be true and I am so upset that a company that is under law suppose to verify every piece of information is going to make the consumer out to be a liar. I was told most of those inquires only count as one. But that is false because they are reporting on my credit report as individual hard inquires. 

TRANSUNION ISNT ABOVE THE LAW.

Consumer complaint received 08/28/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (PA).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: I applied for the Citi AAdvantage Executive Mastercard on XXXX XXXX. My application went to pending status so on XXXX XXXX I called in to provide some additional information and shifted my credit lines to open the new account. On this call I confirmed with the Citi representative that I was eligible and and would receive the offer of XXXX AAdvantage miles after spending {$5000.00} on my new card. The Citi representative confirmed this and approved my application. 
On XXXX XXXX I called Citi to inquire about why I had not received the bonus miles. They stated that since I had the card in the past I was ineligible to receive the bonus. When I told Citi that a representative confirmed that I would receive the bonus offer I was told " The application department should n't have told you that ''. I spent over the {$5000.00} necessary and paid the {$450.00} annual fee and feel that my obligations to receive the bonus have been met. I was provided with false information from Citi and they are now withholding the bonus that I applied for, was approved for and was confirmed to me over the phone by a Citi employee.

Consumer complaint received 09/21/2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with AES/PHEAA (GA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Complaint: XXXX has called me several times over the years regarding a student loan ; initially I thought the loan was mine. As of late I am questioning the validity and merit of this loan as me being the true applicant. I am unable to speak about the loan with customer service because 1. The date of birth associated with the account is not MY date of birth, so I can never get passed their security questions. 

2. They asked me to send a photo ID showing my date of birth, which I did XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and they STILL refuse to speak with me about the loan. The date of birth on my drivers license is not the date of birth on their account. 

I do not believe this is my loan and have filed a complaint with credit bureau as well but have not been able to get any closure due to the fact that I do not know the persons date of birth on this loan. Please advise. Thank you kindly.

Consumer complaint received 05-10-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (CO).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My mortgage originally was with G.M.A.C. mortgage services. G.M.A.C. filed bankruptcy and Owen loan servicing took over the servicing of the loan. They reported the mortgage for a period of 6 months and then closed the account showing that the loan was transferred to another lender when in-fact they were the company servicing the loan. At this point i have disputed this several times with no success. Ocwen, to this date still have n't shown the account open and it 's now been still showing closed on my credit file for a period of 13 months. I am never late but it has affected my credit score by them not showing that i have an open mortgage on my current credit file. I 'm totally frustrated with this situation and i know that other consumers are experiencing the same level of no service from Ocwen mortgage servicing.
