Consumer complaint received 07-08-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: XXXX Identifying transactions on periodic statements.States The creditor shall identify credit transactions on or with the first periodic statement that reflects the transaction by furnishing the following information, as applicable : The creditor must disclose the amount and date of the transaction, and either : A brief identification of the property or services purchased, for creditors and sellers that are the same or related ; or The seller 's name ; and the city and state or foreign country where the transaction took place. The creditor may omit the address or provide any suitable designation that helps the consumer to identify the transaction when the transaction took place at a location that is not fixed ; took place in the consumer 's home ; or was a mail, Internet, or telephone order USAA in violation of regulation Z billing dispute allowed timeframe reversed it 's decision on credit card fraud billing disputes after a year of it being finalized. A serious issue is that I only noticed it when I saw " Transfer Adjustments '' on my account via USAA.com. Shortly there after USAA restricted my ability to use USAA.com and despite my many verbal and written requests has failed to comply with the above mentioned regulation. I have yet to receive a statement which indicated when these charges were reversed and placed back on my account. The only statement I received was one with no mention of the " transfer adjustments '' or any kind of reversal of the billing dispute finalized over a year ago. As it is, USAA states I have this balance, yet I have no clue what charges are on the card that contributed to the balance. It has been over 2 months now and I still have not received any of the requested documentation, identifiable statements or documentation used in the decision to reverse the billing dispute from over a year ago.

Consumer complaint received 11/13/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (AR).
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Unexpected increase in interest rate

Complaint: I have a CareCredit Card with XXXX XXXX. My issue is that it is that the company is making it too difficult to pay off charges with extra payments in a way that avoids having their excessive interest rates kick in.
I have three different charges, with three different expiration dates (XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). Payments are made the first of each month, with minimums being applied to each of the charges. I can pay off the first one in time with three extra mid-month payments of {$600.00}. But to do that, they inform me I must cancel my autopay setup with them and call them on the exact payment day ( not a day earlier or later ) and make the minimum payments, add the extra payment, and tell them to allocate the extra to the first loan.
I suppose this is in the fine print, although the wording is extremely confusing. Nonetheless, I think this amounts to a kind of scam in that you must be super vigilant on your end just to pay them back. It 's unreasonable. You are trying to pay them early. They should be glad. But of course, then they lose the interest they were hoping to take from you because of their over complicated system.
I suppose an interest free card, even for medical costs, is too much to wish for. But why do doctors subscribe to these cards, if that is the case? Are the doctors paying them, too? Or does the card pay them a percentage of the accounts that end up paying interest because you do n't understand or do n't just through their very narrow hoop in just the right way?
It just smells of a kind of loan sharking scam to me, preying on vulnerable people with medical bills they are already struggling to pay off.
I have a transcript of my chat from today that I will attach.

Consumer complaint received 06/21/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (AL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: This complaint is being filed against Equifax in regards the erroneous information/accounts that are repeatedly being reported on my credit report ; thus adversely affect my credit. In addition, I have disputed the following accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$650.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$230.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX with Equifax on four different attempts to correct their inaccuracies. However, Equifax have refused to delete the above mentioned accounts that DO NOT BELONG TO ME! In addition, I have asked them to provide me proof of the reported accounts that allegedly being reported as verified by the information furnisher to them. Ive also contacted the creditors who have also refused to provide me with verifiable proof of the original contract alleging the reported debt. Furthermore, during my 3rd letter of dispute, Equifax failed to provide me a timely respond. Not only did they not provide me a responds with 30 to 45 days, I had to write them again to inform them that they failed to respond. Still the above mentioned accounts remain inaccurate on my credit report. These accounts do not belong to me! According to Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) they are REQUIRED by the Fair  Credit Reporting Act to delete any account that can not be verified. Thus, Federal Case Law also states, Consider Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibilities must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. If Equifax claiming the account verified, how was it verified and by what method did they verify? Why cant they provide me with the original signed contract as Ive asked repeatedly, for they have none! Ive asked the creditors and credit bureau for the Original Contract both have refused on four occasions. This is my final attempt to resolved this issue. I have documented my efforts to resolved this manner very well to date. Please help me resolve this issue, as I demand that the above mentioned accounts be deleted immediately! Best Regards,

Consumer complaint received 09-12-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OR).
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint: Wells Fargo charged us excessive interest, by a misleading process where there was a payment delay - by Wells Fargo ; Wells intentionally takes up to 2 billing cycles to process the initial payment, putting the consumer behind in payments.
We bought an engagement ring at a local jeweler, about {$1500.00} worth, and used our new Wells card to pay for it. 

The program they offer is called " Jewelry Advantage ''. It is a XXXX card, dedicated to one Jewelry store. We opened such an account. They advertise that if you pay off the charge within 6 months, there is no interest. However, we ran over by 1 month, through no fault of our own - so they charged us interest. 

It sounds simple but Wells has set this up in an extremely deceptive way. They ask for your routing and account numbers, so they can 'pull ' the payments in an automated way. 

Here is the problem : they take up to XXXXWO FULL BILLING CYCLES to pull the first payment. This puts the consumer behind - potentially right from their first payment!
What is worse, is we did in fact notice we were behind ; we called Wells Fargo, the rep said he would fix it ; by taking a payment right then on the phone, and then the payments would 'sync up ' and we would be fine. We did exactly as he said, but we still ran over - it never sync 'd up.
Obviously the consumer can check over and over ... but when you deal with a bank as big as Wells Fargo, you want to have some trust. There is no reason to take up to two full billing cycles to pull an EFT payment. Everyone deals with EFT. It can be fully transacted within 4 days, sometimes as fast as 2 days. 

Our interaction with Wells - which was extensive, including several senior ( VP ) people - gives me the very strong impression that this design is intentional. They want the consumer to fall behind, so they can collect more interest.
Wells Fargo has found yet one more way to fraudulently collect excessive interest from consumers.

Consumer complaint received 02/26/2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OR).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I presented the signed Authorization to release information to Wells Fargo on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Oregon. This form was faxed XX/XX/2018 XXXXXXXX XXXX to XXXX. We subsequently got a call from a Wells Fargo agent who stated that I could have access to the information not have online access at all. 

We now want to get away from Wells Fargo and not be connected to them in any way or manner. They have not done anything to FIX this problem and have said conflicting things throughout our attempt to work with them. 

On a scale of 1-10 my stress level is 25!

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt

Complaint: Copper state financial filed lawsuits against me for debts and amounts I have never owed to them. I have been going back and forth  with them since 2011.

This paper was signed a year after the company claimed I owed them money, no original paper work has ever been provided with my name or signature.

Consumer complaint received 09-01-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BB&T CORPORATION (AL).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: My bank BB & T has charged me an unfair overdraft fee of {$72.00}. I call this stealing. 
My checking account had enough money to cover XXXX small charges I used on the evening of XXXX. Later that evening around XXXX I received several texts messages my account was overdrawn. The next day I viewed my account. XXXX ( Available balance now over XXXX ). 

There were XXXX pending bills I wanted to Que up for processing as early as possible. ( Most take over 2 days ) The bank put the status of these XXXX payments ( pending for a few days ) as pending, then added the other XXXX from XXXX also pending, causing me a problem. On XXXX all XXXX pending payments WERE STILL PENDING. ( Meaning no one has taken my money yet. It is still in my account ). 

At the very least they should have processed my XXXX smaller debit card purchases from what money was there. It would have costed me much less, but no. I have noticed the largest payment is made first as if trying to overdraft as many smaller payments as possible. 

I feel this is very unfair to the average consumer and I think new laws are needed to protect people from the greed of this bank. 

BB & T is really not the best bank in town. They are thieves. I am asking for help.

Consumer complaint received 09/19/2015 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CO).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Personal information

Complaint: I have been informed by XXXX XXXX XXXX that TransUnion has different incorect info for my address. I wrote TransUnion a letter stating my correct address where we have lived for the last nine years ( letter attached ). They sent a letter back stating I could gp online and make corrections.

It 's asking me to enter a ". '' or a " # '' which is not my address. I attached a current water bill and as you can see they have my address correct. The problem with the address they have on file for me, which I 'm sure is XXXX, is a problem with their software and not my problem. There is nothing I can do to correct their system. Please help me get this corrected as I have already wasted enough time on this issue.

Consumer complaint received 11/22/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
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: Good Evening, I have two fradulent inquiries on my Equifax credit report. I was told to report the issue to the XXXX who reported the XXXX inquiries on XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I followed the directives and the inquiries were removed from XXXX and XXXX within a month of reporting in XXXX. Equifax has failed to remove the two fradulent accounts and puts the blame on XXXX for not sending the electronic documentation stating the two accounts are fradulent. XXXX informed me that the first request was sent in XXXX and they could not send another until 90 days were up. I called XXXX and requested that they send the documentation to Equifax again and send me a letter stating the inquiries were fradulent. I recieved the letter via snail mail and called Equifax today, XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX # XXXX and her manager XXXX # XXXX. XXXX told me they had not recieved anything from XXXX and I should call them again and ask them to send the document again. I told her I 've called them several times since XXXX and they say the documentation has been sent. She told me my only recourse is to obtain a police report for the fradulent inquiries. This is very frustrating seeing that my information was comprimised due to the Equifax breech and the fradulent inquiries are likely the result of the breech and the other two bureau 's have removed the inquiries months ago. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

My confirmation numbers for these disputes with Equifax are # XXXX and # XXXX

Consumer complaint received 06-02-2015 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Presto Auto Loans, Inc. (AZ).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: Back in 2008 I obtained an Payday loan. I then had to file for bankruptcy and then it got dismissed. Most of my debt form that bankruptcy it appears on my credit report. I attempted to pay this off as it states on my credit report that I owe {$130.00} to clear this off. I called to pay this off and clear the debt. They refuse to take the {$130.00} that they are reporting and now they want me to pay over {$500.00}. I have all the emails and correspondence of this attempts to settle and their response. I then decided to go to the office since I thought I could be easier once I was there to try to settle this matter XXXX more time. This was not possible and instead they claim they will settle with me for the amount of $ 300+. I informed them that this debt has been since 2008 and it would soon fall off my credit report but that I wanted to make the attempt XXXX more time to settle. They are reluctant in any changes. What upsets me is not only that I am trying to clear this off but that they provide the incorrect information and they still are adamant about settling. Why do they report XXXX amount and then ask for another? They claimed that if I did not settle for the amount they are asking that they will NEVER clear the title on the vehicle. I do not use that vehicle but all I want is to remove it from my credit report to improve my credit.
