Complaint: I applied for a XXXX XXXX card ( ending in XXXX ) in XXXX of 2016 with a bonus of XXXX XXXX  XXXX miles after spending {$1000.00}. Upon receipt of the card, I noticed the card I was approved for was a lower tier card with only a XXXX mile bonus.

They agreed and re-issued the card ( ending in XXXX now ) and advised that I would have the new bonus offer since the card was not the Visa Signature vs regular Platinum Plus. I went to use the points and earlier this year and noticed that they still only applied the XXXX bonus miles. I have contacted BOA a number of times and received no reply ( via letter ) and via phone, nobody was able to assist me and my escalation was never followed up on.

Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX we were served with court documents indicating that Discover Bank and their counsel XXXX, XXXX and XXXX filed suit against us in a debt that we allegedly owed Discover Bank. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we contacted XXXX XXXX under our XXXX XXXX service to ask for advice regarding this case. We can not afford legal counsel but through our XXXX XXXX membership an attorney was able to offer limited help. XXXX XXXX sent a letter to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX on our behalf asking for verification of the alleged debt. The letter stated that neither the XXXX XXXX Attorney nor XXXX XXXX would be entering an appearance on our behalf and that we have no money for representation in court proceedings thus all communication should be sent directly to us. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, counsel for Discover Bank erroneously sent validation documents to XXXX XXXX. XXXX Judge forwarded the exact documents to us. Upon review of the documents it was discovered that counsel for Discover Bank provided Discover Bank Statements of debt owed by XXXX different individuals, neither of these consumers are related to myself or my husband. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Judge sent a letter to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, counsel for Discover Bank, making counsel aware of the error XXXX, XXXX and XXXX made and their privacy breach. 
Counsel did not respond to this letter and when we appeared in court on XXXX XXXX, XXXX my husband and requested a dismissal of this lawsuit due to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ' mishandling of this case ; in sending documents to the incorrect party, and the privacy breach in providing Discover Statements ( validation ) for XXXX individuals that are not related to the case filed against us by Discover Bank. 

Counsel has responded with conflicting arguments that XXXX XXXX and our debt management company sent the wrong documents to us and that the breach was not their fault. It is impossible that our debt management company made the error due to the date we received the documents. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX represents Discover in this case as well as many others, giving them access to Discover 's Consumer information. XXXX Judge does not represent Discover Bank in any way and has no relationship with either consumer who 's private information was divulged. It is also still unknown where the validation documentation of our debt was sent initially.

US Bank Flex Perks travel rewards account # XXXX charged me an annual membership fee in XXXX 2015 for {$49.00} and I never knew about it as no note was sent to me, which is very unusual and objectionable.

They never bothered to send me a note in any form that they charged me a fee and that it was late by 60 days plus.

I dispute any reporting of the delinquencies on my account and hold US Bank totally responsible for the damage caused and any future damage. It has been proved yet another time that these Big Monster Mega Banks do n't care an iota about their loyal customers.

Consumer complaint received 04-12-2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: Experian continues to report my mortgage incorrectly resulting in me being denied refinancing even by the institution that currently holds my mortgage ( XXXX XXXX ). My current mortgage holder 's ( XXXX XXXX ) underwriting department indicated they are compelled to go by what is in my Credit Report although they have other supporting documentation. XXXX XXXX also provided me with a letter from their executive office confirming my claim that what Experian is reporting is NOT accurate. Experian keeps sending me cookie cutter response stating the " credit grantor has verified its accuracy ''. Its refers to the credit report. I not only submitted to Experian the letter from XXXX XXXX, but i also circled what was inaccurate on their credit report and referenced the letter. In addition, I pointed out that the negative according to their report status is due to drop off by XXXX XXXX anyway. 
Problem : XXXX XXXX I refinanced my home with my now ex. He took the refinance money which XXXX XXXX can confirm using bank statement and I provided copies of in Civil Court. In XXXX due to his shenanigans, foreclosure proceedings began. I pulled my home out of foreclosure and secured a loan modification with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) in my name only. In XXXX XXXX I was awarded a Quiet Title to my home and have been making payments on time without exception. 
Experian is report my mortgage as an individual account from XXXX XXXX until present which creditors are viewing as I was solely responsible for the foreclosure being initiated. 
XXXX XXXX 's letter clearly states that " ___ is the only one liable for this loan since the modification dated XXXX XXXX. I have enclosed the original Deed in Trust dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, between ____ and ___ as joint mortgage holders. '' In addition, I provided Experian with a copy of their own credit report from XXXX XXXX, XXXX where they account was reporting by Experian as joint to further prove to them that what they are now reporting is NOT TRUE. The documents are there in their own data base along with XXXX letter generated from an executive in the president of XXXX XXXX 's executive office. 
Experian 's letter further states and I quote, " : we will not reinvestigate the same dispute again at this time. '' I take issue with this because it is clear Experian has chosen not to look at the evidence showing a preponderance of facts that their report is : misleading, biased, inaccurate and continues to adversely impact both my personal and business ability to become whole again and prosper. In fact, this is covert financial abuse.
