Consumer complaint received 10/23/2015 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Hello, I received 2 collection calls and 2 past due emails from Bank of America. Collection calls! I 'll admit that we have n't been the timeliest this year, but we did bring the account current on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The XX/XX/XXXX statement shows New Balance Total XXXX $ XXXXTotal Minimum Payment Due XXXX .XXXXPayment Due Date XXXX XX/XX/2015We paid {$310.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15, which should have brought our account to XXXX min. balance due by XXXX/XXXX/15. Now the statement showing the XX/XX/XXXX amount due as this : New Balance Total XXXX $ XXXXTotal Minimum Payment Due XXXX .XXXXPayment Due Date XXXX XX/XX/2015They were saying that I now have a past due amount of {$190.00}! 
New Balance Total XXXX $ XXXXCurrent Payment Due XXXX $ XXXXPast Due Amount XXXX $ XXXXTotal Minimum Payment Due XXXX $ XXXXPayment Due Date XXXX .XXXXI spoke the a representative this morning who said that it was all in error and that they would get this fixed, however I feel the need to file a complaint. The way they handled this was harassment. The rep did not even apologize. It 's not right to receive collection calls or emails when you have paid! I do not want to see this reported to the credit bureau for their errors. I also see that they repeatedly make these kinds of errors with many other customers. A giant bank should get their act together. Thanks for reading.

Consumer complaint received 02-01-2018 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (MA).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint: XXXX XXXX close my account in XX/XX/XXXX and i tried to pay it current. XXXX XXXX Charged off the account in XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bought the account. At the time in XXXX i did not know who they were so i did not answer most of their calls. I eventually talked with them and tried to work something out, but then i got repeated harassing, threatening calls with profanity in them. In XX/XX/XXXX, I became unemployed, homeless, and let them know that, however the calls came in until finally i blocked their number. 
Their threats came true in late XX/XX/XXXX, first week in XX/XX/XXXX when i look at my credit and found that XXXX XXXX XXXX went back in and rated the XXXX XXXX  account as Charged Off ( CO ) for every month since XX/XX/XXXX to present. This has caused me distress, as i was almost homeless again, because of their rating this account CO for all the months back to XX/XX/XXXX. I am a XXXX veteran and i'm trying to rent an apartment, but can't until i get this resolved. 
I talked to them again today and still nothing. I talked to XXXX to try and get a letter stating that the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX and Charged off XX/XX/XXXX. Still waiting on the letter from XXXX. I have also filed a claim with XXXX  to correct the account. I have reported this company before for the abusive nature and tactics they take.

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CO).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX I had an American Express, XXXX XXXX credit card. In XX/XX/XXXX I canceled the card for I was not traveling as much anymore. In XX/XX/XXXX I received an offer for a new XXXX XXXX American Express credit card. The offer stated I would get XXXX bonus XXXX XXXX points after spending {$750.00} in the first three months. I applied on line, and received the card inXX/XX/XXXX ( American Express letter datedXX/XX/XXXX ). Neither the initial offer nor the letter accompanying the card mentioned any restrictions related to the XXXX bonus points. Out of abundance of caution, before using the card for the first time, I called American Express and I was told by the agent that I was qualified for the XXXX bonus points. However, after spending the requested amount I did not receive the bonus. I called American Express, and I was told that it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get it. The bonus was never posted to my XXXX account, so onXX/XX/XXXXI called again. This time I was told that I did not qualify for the bonus because I previously had a similar card. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted American Express for the last time. I tried to use e-mail, to have a written proof of the discussion, but this form of communication is not supported by the American Express web-site. So I had to use online chat. I explained the situation, but the agent wrote back that I was not qualified for the bonus. She provided a pointer to American Express terms and conditions. The documents referred to by the agent are enclosed. Neither one mentions the restriction invoked by the last two agents I communicated with.
In my opinion American Express has the OBLIGATION to give me the XXXX XXXX XXXX bonus points for the following reasons : -The offer sent to me did not mention any restrictions related to previously having a similar card.
<P/>
-I met the requirements of the offer ( I spent over {$750.00} in the first three months ).
<P/>
-Two American Express agents confirmed that I was qualified for the bonus.
<P/>
-The Terms Conditions documents provided to me by an American Express agent did not mention that restriction either.

Consumer complaint received 11-11-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Aldous & Associates, PLLC (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Consumer complaint received 01/27/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF HAWAII CORPORATION (HI).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I opened an account, on XX/XX/XXXX. There were checks ordered, for the account. I should have been billed, for the product, in the first few days, like, by XX/XX/XXXX. The company creating the checks, did n't bill me until XX/XX/XXXX. They did so by check. I never wrote a check. Also, apparently, they have the practice of waiting to bill the customer, until they have produced the checks ( which I claim, is a faulty billing process ). That 's XXXX XXXX. The bank is Bank of Hawaii. The bank charged me XXXX, for the first bounced check, a billing I did n't receive, until 14 days after ordering ; which, itself, is not good practice ; I expect to be billed, when I received the order. I never received any billing statement, or notice of actual cost of the check book, because the account-opening portion of the application ( boh application, ipad ) never stated how much I owed. 

The XXXX XXXX company, bounced XXXX check, for {$13.00}, three times, in the account. They only did that, I assume, because of some protected relationship with Bank of Hawaii. I assume, that an ordinary organization, can not thrice bounce, XXXX check, in an account. So. That leads to the question, why the long billing cycle, instead of a timely one. So. The thrice bounced checks are the fault of the Bank of Hawaii, because of permissions, granted by them, to XXXX of their contracted affiliates. So. I 'm willing to pay XXXX fee of {$26.00}, but not XXXX. The manager comes back with - via the car sales teller, apparently - that he 's willing to remove XXXX overdraft fee, ( so its ok, for a company to double bounce unwritten checks, instead of cancelling an unpaid-for order ). 

In addition, there were {$10.00} per week XXXX balance fees. I get paid once per month, on the first. At the time of XX/XX/XXXX, I was willing to pay {$26.00}, only. But the charge at that time was like {$90.00}. I had my ipad stolen, at the same time, and my debit cards were stolen. I was unable to access my bank account, at the time, to sort out the charges. I would have paid the {$26.00}, but not the {$90.00}. I am requesting to pay nothing more, than the ( XXXX ) bounced check fee, ( ~? ) {$13.00}, for the cost of the checks, and any XXXX $ balance fees that happened, before XX/XX/XXXX. 

In other words. The additional XXXX overdraft fees, are the fault of Bank of Hawaii, and were not authorized by me ; and, I deserve time, to be able to talk about it. 

Thank you.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint: I opened an XXXX XXXX credit card throughXX/XX/XXXX over a year ago and have been making payments regularly. The company was bought out and I was recently charged over {$1300.00} for nothing, it is listed as a promotional fee in the transaction history. I have not used this card in over a year and this charge is not listed in my agreement, it is straight up fraud. I attempted to contact XXXX and there was no response. XXXX in the past has made mistakes with my account and has adamantly refused to correct the issues, although I did not take action because the fees were negligible.

Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint: I opened an account at TD Bank in XXXX XXXX 2017, I brought in a mailer addressed to me with promotion that I would receive XXXX dollars when I had a direct deposit. I have visited the bank several times and called about twenty times with no results.

So here I am six months of not getting anywhere with this bank.

Consumer complaint received 06-03-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (UT).
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint: On XXXX while buying an XXXX XXXX ticket I responded to a promotion to open a cobranded card advertising XXXX  airline miles after {$750.00} spend in 3 months and another XXXX miles with a total of {$5000.00} in 6 months. During the same transaction I received a second promotion to receive XXXX airline miles after {$1000.00} spend in 3 months. Later in the same transaction I received a third offer to " earn XXXX  bonus miles plus, get up to {$100.00} in statement credits after qualifying purchases with this credit card offer. '' Which was offered to be applied to the ticket I was purchasing at the time. <P/>The card was approved but Citibank and the promo I received was XXXX airline miles after {$1000.00} spend in 3 months. The least favorable of the promotions offered and not the original promotional terms. <P/>I have contacted the bank immediately after the approval regarding the multiple offers and requesting clarification and was told the account was still processing and to call back after I got the card. Was also given 3 different phone numbers to call during the conversation. Have called the bank at least 3 times since receiving the card and am told I did not get more than one offer and that I received the offer I was supposed to get. I did capture copies of the offers while signing up so find the response incorrect and rather misleading.

Consumer complaint received 07-01-2015 about Debt collection (Medical) with Commercial Trade, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: I contacted XXXX in the hopes that they could assist me in credit repair. They reassured me they could and would do what they could to make things better, stating it would take up to 6 months before I saw results. However, they decided to dispute many things on my credit report without my knowledge, even going so far as to creating letters and signing my name without my permission. They did this with the Commercial Trade Bureau where the lovely ( I use this with high sarcasm ) XXXX XXXX has been a nightmare to work with. I have contacted her twice asking the dispute be removed and she refuses to do so unless I pay her upfront. Is n't that illegal? Other collection agencies happily obliged to my request after hearing what XXXX XXXX had done, however, XXXX has not. Please help me.

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

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I had a missed call with from XXXX. I returned the call and a man that identified himself as XXXX at ext XXXX questioned my name, and birthdate. I verified that his information was correct. He went on to ask if I ever had a XXXX account, and I said no.
