Consumer complaint received 06/24/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with DISCOVER BANK (HI).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: I established a credit card account with Discover in XX/2016. I suspect a former friend of mine to be the person responsible for making unauthorized fraudulent payments and then making unauthorized charges with 1 of 2 cards I held for this account. I filed a complaint with Discover regarding the fraud that occured on my account, Discovers investigators asked my to sign a form concerning the fraud and if I was willing to press charges against the suspected person, I told Discover that I did not want to press charges against the suspected person because this person had a XXXX year old daughter, and I did n't want the daughter to be put in foster care if charges were brought against the mom. Discover then told me that if I did n't accept responsibility for the unauthorized payments and charges that the account would continue to report on my credit report with all the fraud charges included. Discover then asked me to agree to a verbal agreement to assume all liability for the fraud since I was not willing to press charges against the suspected person responsilble. Discover investigators misinterpreted what I agreed to in that legal disclousure, I only agreed to be responsible for the balance on the card prior to all the fraudulent payments and charges made to the account. I have tried numerous times to dispute this discover account with the credit bureaus, also including a FTC Identity Theft Affidavit that included a police report and was notarized. The credit bureaus " blocked '' the account initially, but Discover continues to have them " unblock '' the account, so until this day the account continues to wreck my credit score, and has ultimately caused me to be declined for employment oppurtunitys because of a low credit score. I have also not been able to establish contract post paid cellular accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX due to a poor credit score.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I have asked for validation and verification on several occasions and these individuals have not been able to validate and verify pursuant to 15USC1692g, and 15USC1681. This DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX or any of their constituents have not been able to give me anything that substantiates information I have asked for. So this DEBT has sufficiently been disputed. 
This DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX has sent dunning letters saying I owe them money because they bought this from some other individual. These individuals have put entries into my personal credit reports and they have been successfully disputed but they still show up as my account. I did not give them my private non-public information so I do not appreciate this being sold to this CORPORATION according to the FDCPA accounts ca n't be sold. This is IDENTITY THEFT PURSUANT TO 16CFR603.2. They do not have the authority to go into my credit report and put in anything that is why they must stop this non-sense. I have asked these DEBT COLLECTORS to CEASE AND DESIST contacting me but they continue to do so. 
They have harmed my consumer purchasing power which is the natural person pursuant to the ( FDCPA ) Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15USC1692c, d, e, f, g, and j respectively. I am not in COMMERCE where the Person is buying from one CORPORATION TO ANOTHER for BUSINESS with another CORPORATION. 
I have contacted this DEBT COLLECTOR on several occasions and they continue to contact me with their blatant attacks on my character, and i am feeling ashamed, embarrassed, abused and I do not sleep much because of my Credit Report being torn apart just because I want to secure things for my personal, family or household use.. I did not give my permission for this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX to contact me pursuant to 15USC1692c. I never asked this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX to open up any account in my name with my Social Security Number or any of that. This Debt Collector needs to Cease and Desist Collecting on something that I do not owe them. 
This Debt Collector continues to try to get me to contract with them. I did not agree to have my information shared with this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX this is aiding and abetting with another to commit fraud on the Consumer who is a natural person is a crime. 
THIS DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY ONLINE COLLECTIONS DID SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ALL XXXX CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES. 
Because I did not contract with this DEBT COLLECTOR PLEASE DELETE THIS ERRONEOUS, INACCURATE INFORMATION OUT OF MY CREDIT REPORT. A DEBT COLLECTOR CA N'T PUT INFORMATION IN A CREDIT REPORT UNLESS THE CONSUMER HAS CONTRACTED WITH THEM WHICH I DID NOT DO.

Consumer complaint received 11/16/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: My credit card with USAA was falling behind in payments. At one point, I got a letter about how much was past due that mentioned a special debt solutions payment plan. I called USAA and enrolled in this payment plan. Under the payment plan, I would pay $ XXXX/mo. After 4 consecutive months of making these payments, my account would be brought current. The first payment was made in XXXX. I have, however, continued to get letters about my account being past due even though I have made every monthly payment at least through XXXX ( not sure if XXXX came out yet ). That makes 7 months of making the payments. My account is due according to the payment plan I entered into with USAA. I attempted to call previously about a month ago ( XXXX ) to straighten it out. The woman with USAA was n't much help and wanted to talk more than listen. After explaining the plan several times, she finally understood and said she would make a note for the debt solutions team to fix it. Yet I 've still gotten letters. Tonight, I called again after getting a letter dated XXXX XXXX. XXXX answered. I explained the situation. She looked into it. She came back and explained that there were two payments made in addition to the $ XXXX monthly payments. Because these two payments were for less than {$190.00}, they counted as an insufficient payment for the payment plan and reset the months needed to bring the plan current. In effect, I paid too MUCH on my balance and was therefore past due. This is obviously a problem caused by automation and not how the plan is supposed to work. XXXX at this point became unhelpful and stonewalled any attempt I offered to resolve the situation. At one point, she asked what I wanted, to which I responded " I would like my account that is current in reality to be reflected as current in your system. '' Her response was that 1 ) she could n't do that and no one else could, and 2 ) my account was NOT current. At no point did I raise my voice, become abusive, or curse. She finally offered to transfer me back to debt solutions so they could look at it ( even though I knew they would n't be able to do what I wanted ). I said sure. She transferred me supposedly to them. I have been transferred to them before and the wait was never more than 5 minutes. I remained on hold for another 35 minutes before my phone shut down.

Consumer complaint received 11/13/2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA).
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint: Since XXXX I have been an account holder of a JC Penney credit card and since XXXX a Care Credit account. I have never been in default or delinquent since being a card holder. Even in a time of unemployment XXXX I made the minimum payment. I became employed in XXXX of XXXX, and still paid on time and used my credit card wisely. Although it has been a struggle living pay check to pay check I am a responsible card holder. JC Penney I had a XXXX credit card limit But in all the years as a card holder my balance remain manageable around XXXX. Care Credit was used in putting my ill dog to sleep and saving my cat 's life with emergency surgery. I have also used it to purchase my contact lenses. ( I have paid down a the XXXX balance I owe at the time of those XXXX emergencies involving my dog and cat ). During the period of unemployment I incurred unsecured debt for survival as many Americans like myself. I took steps to save my home and now to settled on some credit cards to start over. I enrolled in a Credit Card Settlement program XXXX out of XXXX XXXX California. ( I have already settled on XXXX credit card account ) OF course this action to settle XXXX of credit card debt affects the Credit Score. So my score dipped from XXXX to XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX I received XXXX separate letters from SYNCHRONY BANK XXXX referring to my JCP account and the other Care Credit that due to my credit score and delinquencies they were lowering my credit limit on the credit cards. JCP up to {$100.00} to my balance and Care Credit in half. I feel these actions reflect a false impact on my credit score. Giving the appearance that I am in default or UP TO MY CREDIT LIMIT on both cards which I am NOT. The letter states " they are basing their decision on my entire credit history not solely your history with SYNCHRONY BANK ''. These actions I feel are unjustified and Have nothing to do with my other credit card account in the debt settlement. Further I feel that SYCHRONY BANK by these actions is putting my health at risk and my pets health at risk by constraining my use of my Care Credit account. Since, I am a XXXX enrollee I rely on this card for EYE CARE, DENTAL CARE AND PET CARE. JCP, after 36 years I can no longer shop at this department store after SYNCHRONY BANKS damaged my relationship by giving the appearance I am UP TO MY CREDIT LIMIT!!. I HAVE Done nothing wrong. SYNCHRONY BANKS action is totally unethical. PLAYING with people 's lives and their livelihood. I am not in default and Have AS A Consumer I feel that SYNCHRONY BANK is not serving in the best interest of customers. It sole purpose is deceive and gain monetarily off the backs of hard working customers. I expect restitution and restoration of my credit limit on both accounts.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2018 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Non-sufficient funds and associated fees

Complaint: I filed a fraud report with wellsfargo XX/XX/18. I have made a police report and had around 7,000+ deducted from my account without authorization. I notified wellsfargo and made a claim. I did not hear back from Wellsfargo until the 9th day and on the 9th day, my claim was denied. I was contacted by one branch of the fraud department stating part of my claim was being refunded in the amount of less than {$200.00}. Once he mentioned the wrong dollar amount he placed me on hold and stated he would reach out the main claim personal to have a follow-up call and work to get my funds return as soon as possible. No, follow up. I have spent half my day trying to receive support to learn three cards were sent out and only one was in my possession. I simply want what is rightful mine. The amount is substantial and by law, I feel, I should not be legally responsible for charges not authorized and reported.
