Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I experienced a financial hardship several years ago. My home loan was originally with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX transferred my first and second mortgage loans to XXXX. XXXX and I agreed to a settlement for my second home loan. I had to pay {$14000.00} within 12 months and they would write the rest of the loan off and send me a letter for the credit bureaus to fix my credit. XXXX kept their word. However, Experian and XXXX refuse to adhere to the letter. I have been mailing the same document to them for a year and they still refuse to remove the negativity from my credit report. How should I proceed?

Consumer complaint received 02-09-2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MD).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: Bank of America charged me a {$12.00} maintenance for when my balance dipped below the minimum requirement of {$1500.00} for just one night. The next day I had {$1000.00} put into the account to bring up the balance. In addition, my balance has always stayed above the {$1500.00} minimum for all the other days of the month. I find it very exploitative that I would be charged the full maintenance fee for having my balance fall below the minimum for just one day as for compared to somebody who was below the minimum for the entire duration of the cycle. One day versus the whole month should not equate to the same amount. I called customer service, spoke to a supervisor and they continued to insist that the {$12.00} fee is fair to be charged to my account.

Consumer complaint received 01/25/2018 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Domestic (US) money transfer) with Coinbase, Inc. (FL).
Issue: Money was not available when promised

Complaint: I made a wire transfer that should have taken 1 day to come in for {$1900.00} to XXXX using my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account. XXXX sent the wire over and XXXX has the money. I followed step by step and walked through with a support agent on the phone and they told me I did everything right. 

Their response was through email : Hi there XXXX, Im happy to look into this for you. Can you provide the following information? 
-Date transaction initiated -Name on the depositing account ( please include all names if its a joint account, or business account ) -The amount sent -IMAD number/Reference number for the transaction This will assist us in locating your deposit. 

Thanks, XXXX Support Team -- -- -- I replied back 5 mins later : Date transaction initiated : X/XX/2018 Name on depositing account : XXXX XXXX Amount Sent : {$1900.00} Reference Number : -- -- -- -- - ( not sure if i should include this ) -- -- 4 days later no response from their team and they refuse to give an ETA on when the wire will transfer when it was supposed to be a 1 day transfer. I even paid the extra {$10.00} fee for the 1 day transfer, and now we border 4 days, no response, no ETA, no communication. 

This is ridiculously absurd because tons of people have had issues with XXXX wire transfers not coming in through as promised. Reading up on some stories, it took a 1 day wire transfer 1 month to come through and several other testimonials with things like this. 

Please help me get what was promised from the company XXXX Thank you, Best, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 10-04-2015 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (IL).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: The Citi Prestige Card -- there 's a benefit that states the forth night is free at any hotel worldwide when booked through their travel service and booking a non-discounted, GDS-avaibale rate. Well that sounds great, but their travel service seems to cherrypick when they 're going to make a hotel available, and the process itself is very cumbersome ( call, make a request, maybe get an e-mail back in 24 hours ... ) I 'm a travel industry/technology insider, so I understand very well how GDS, TMCs, and the hotel booking process works. 

I attempted to book a personally important trip by calling the Citi Prestige Concierge a few times. Finally, I received an e-mail stating both of my preferred hotels were unavailable, even though they were, of course, available. Each time I checked online AND called the property ( in XXXX XXXX ) to confirm, and the availability was there. I asked ( repeatedly ) that the Citi agent just transfer me to the XXXX XXXX agent so that we can resolve it, but I was told new Citi policy forbid this. 

Finally, I gave up and booked the four night stay directly with the property. Citi should honor their customer commitment and provide me with the fourth night free. It 's an expensive hotel, but it 's peak season in a far-away land. That should n't affect Citi 's willingness to honor their promise and core element of marketing the card to it 's intended demographic ( their words ) affluent consumers on a worldwide basis. 

Also, Citi should think seriously about providing an online booking system just as XXXX and XXXX do for their hotel benefits on their top-tier credit card programs. I believe XXXX XXXX provides those services, and it does n't make any sense at all to involve XXXX people ( minimum ) PLUS the customer PLUS 24-48 hours on each request. It 's almost as if the process is designed to be too cumbersome to be used. 

To the regulator : imagine if booking a ticket or hotel room through XXXX took multiple people, multiple phone calls, and 24, 48, 72 hours of waiting before even knowing if the hotel is available ... and this is supposed to be a " high-end '' service on a {$450.00} per year card. 

Again, a simple ask to Citi : that they honor the 4th night free benefit given that I booked directly with the hotel as a non-doscunted " rack rate, '' and I 'm charging the hotel stay to my card. Also, that in the future, they consider how to simplify the process supporting this primary advertised benefit of the card. 


Thanks, XXXX.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: Principal amount owed to my college was {$3200.00}, but debt collector MG Credit is trying to collect for {$4800.00}, and refuses to settle for some lesser amount or the principal amount.

Consumer complaint received 04/14/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with PNC Bank N.A. (NC).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I have been struggling for over a year to work out a modification with PNC bank due to unemployment in 2013. We got to the point of short sale in XXXX, at which time I was assigned an attorney to represent me in the proceedings. PNC denied offer to purchase at the beginning of XXXX, since then they have refused to take the law firm off of my account as primary contact and have not spoken to me claiming that I need to remove attorney authorization. We have repeatedly emailed and faxed PNC with the requested letter from attorney. Last week I submitted another modification request asking PNC to consider modifying mortgage based on their - PNC Agent - BPO - value of {$60000.00}. I am still unable to speak with them, they refuse to change the attorney information. I had another foreclosure hearing this morning. PNC 's improper refusal to discuss my own account with me, for over 30 days, has negatively impacted my ability to work with them on a modification and avoid steps in foreclosure. As of this morning, the court has set a sale date and they STILL refuse to speak with me. It has been communicated to PNC numerous times that the authorization I originally signed allowing attorneys to speak with PNC about my account contains no cease and desist language at all. This is the final straw in the long list of ways they have kept me from working out a deal to keep my home. PLEASE help me. They have lost my paperwork, requested the same documentation over and over, claim they ca n't leave me voice messages, I did n't initial XXXX page of a XXXX page document, etc ... ... I want to keep my house, I am employed again and have been, I also have additional income with my father living with me. Their practices seem to be unethical. The refusal to speak with me is absurd.

Consumer complaint received 02/21/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Chase to advise them that I expected to have 2 charges on my account through Chase pay at XXXX in XXXX XXXX, one for {$100.00} and one for {$300.00}. I called them to advise them in advance as I understood that there had been fraud problems at XXXX and i wanted to try and minimize the chance of a problem. 

I went to XXXX and made the first charge of {$100.00}. I then tried to make the second charge of {$300.00} and the charge was denied. I called Chase at the store and was advised they had made an appropriate adjustment and I should try to make the charge again. It was denied. As the person I spoke to was still on the phone she advised that she could not fix the problem and she transferred me to a different department. I spoke to that department and they tried to identify who I am by asking me questions from the public record. The questions they asked had nothing to do with anything in my past so they were not able to confirm my identity. They advised that they would contact me within 48 hours but in the meantime I could not use my card. When I returned home there was a message on my phone from Chase, which I am not sure what the timing of that call was. I returned the call but they were still unable to resolve the matter and they would call within 48 hours. I did not receive a call but several days later received a letter from Chase asking me to call. They were not able to get access to my account and advised that they would call in 48 hours.  Today is XX/XX/XXXX it has been 17 days since the initial incident and I still have not received a call from Chase. I called Chase today and was advised that they still could not access my account and they had no further information. 

I do not understand the problem and am only seeking to have whatever the problem on the account is resolved. If they wish to cancel the account, I would be okay with that other than I believe I have earned {$10.00} of cashback rewards which I would like to receive or be credited with. I just find it frustrating that it has taken 17 days to resolve this matter.
