Consumer complaint received 02/21/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: I work as a XXXX and use my BOA credit card often and exclusively. As a result, I often amass thousands of dollars in credit card transactions every month. Inevitably while auditing monthly BOA credit card statements, I find issues including vendor overcharging, double charging, incorrect charging and other mistakes that are not necessarily fraudulent. 
I recently received a letter from BOA that appears to threaten my right to continue to file disputes with my BOA credit card. 
I am including a copy of that letter in this complaint. 
I believe it is my right as a consumer that I may dispute a transaction that I believe to be in error. With that consumer protection right, I have routinely found errors on my credit card statement and have routinely exercised my right to dispute transactions that I believe to be in error. I win many of these disputes because I turn out to be right. 
As a result of BOAs very poor dispute dept. phone response times and an ongoing poorly resourced department to handle complaints, I have spent hours of cumulative time attempting to file disputes with BOA. 
I view any attempt by BOA to bully or threaten my right to file disputes as a direct infringement on my federal and state consumer protection rights. 
I did phone BOA regarding the letter on XX/XX/2018 at approx XXXX XXXX eastern time. 
I spoke with supervisor XXXX ( XXXX ) and discussed the letter with him. He offered no specific resolution other than he offered to escalate the case internally. 
I will continue to exercise my consumer protection rights and should be able to do so without the threat of BOA canceling my credit card account.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I took out a loan with CitiFinancial XXXX 2001 for {$25000.00} for home repairs. 
I only borrowed {$25000.00} and was supposed to pay back {$5500.00}. Somewhere in the making of this loan. {$30000.00} was tacked on to my loan of which is not mine. I have called CitiFinancial for years and sent letters etc. Trying to find out what happened. 
I can not get anywhere with them. I have already paid over {$100000.00} back to them for a loan of only {$25000.00}. I need to know if somewhere some how you can investigate ths loan. I was scammed. I make monthly payments still. I am always behind due to having to rent a place to live because that property is in need of more repairs. 
The property is only valued at {$40000.00}. I have done everything humanly possible to find out why and what happened. I feel like they need to close this loan and investigate. 
I borrowed {$25000.00} in 2001. 
I am still paying monthly payments. 
I have paid back over {$100000.00} on a property valued at {$40000.00}

Consumer complaint received 01/13/2016 about Credit card () with HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (CA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: I noticed an account on my credit bureau that was showing derogatory on my files. The account belonged to HSBC bank, so I called the phone number that appeared on the credit report and a representative informed me that she was not able to locate the account or there could be a possibility that the account was sold. I informed the customer rep. that i had disputed the information but it was verified and HSBC stated the debt was valid. I have never opened an account with HSBC bank, and i was wondering why are they reporting on an account that they do not have any information on. The customer rep informed me that i should continue disputing it with credit bureau again. I again disputed XX/XX/2015. and the information came verified again. Its infuriating that a non existence and bogus bills are being collected and reported on my credit report which is very inaccurate.

Consumer complaint received 10/18/2016 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (CA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I never received a response back concerning my disputing what this company stated for my XXXX/XXXX/2016 complaint. The company still has not removed the false items from my from my credit report. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I responded to this company .... I do not agree with this. You can come up with XXXX pieces of paper, but until you come up with a legal document that has my original signature that I walked into a building and signed you have nothing. I did no such thing as go on a computer and borrow money from anyone Ad Astro has not contacted me via phone, because I have never spoken to anyone at this company nor have I received any mail from them. Ad Astro just reported the accounts on my credit report and that is how I found out. All XXXX of my credit reports for 3 years had initial fraud alert 's placed on them, because someone had used my identity. Not until last year did I have the fraud alerts removed from my credit reports. Ad Astro has been no help at all in trying to get this situation corrected and the items removed from my credit report. Also, e-signed documents are not documents showing my signature. If I needed to take out loans I would have walked into an office requesting XXXX. Ad Astro claims that they checked accounts information and was told that the accounts were correct in there response, ok so where is the actual documents showing that I signed for loans, there is none. Ad Astro seems to just update the XXXX and not even check to make sure that the information they report is correct. At no time have I been sent documents showing anything that this company claims to have done to correct or even look into this issue. I will not pay a debt that I did not create. Anyone can go online with my information as they did and take out a loan. I feel like this company should have validated the identity of the person that took out the loan with a photo or something more accurate, but they did n't and why have n't the loan companies contacted me if I so called owed them for a debt. And please stop lieing in your response in XXXX paragraph stating that you all remove items until the issue is resolved and then turn around in the next paragraph and say we have contacted the bureaus to place the items back on to reports when in all reality nothing was removed in the first place.

Consumer complaint received 10-06-2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NJ).
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: I contacted XXXX to inquired about my account. I was under the assumption that I had a plus account. The representative advised me that I did not have the plus account and that I had a regular account. She advised me that there was no option for an upgrade on my account to get the plus account and that I would need to apply online for that account, which would be submitting another application for another card. She advised me that if I did reapply and got denied. She advised that I could call in and told them that I applied for the plus card and was denied, that I could the have my account reviewed and get upgraded to the plus card. So after applying and getting denied, I called back in to and was advised that the customer rep that I spoke to basically lied to me and that they are not able to review my account for the plus card. The customer service manager advised that they review the account but can not make any changes to it.

Consumer complaint received 08-07-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with RUOFF MORTGAGE (IN).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: Told clear to close would be signed off next morning, closing Friday XX/XX/XXXX, closing set, then loan denied abruptly. No further communication. We received a pre-approval in XX/XX/XXXX by company system, turned in all documentation to them. As with every mortgage process knew additional documentation would be required. It was a tough journey, ( we were asked for additional items by underwriter such as son 's marriage certificate, copy of wedding invitation, my college transcripts and additional XXXX for reserve funds to be wired to title company, and were treated as though we were criminals and lying about original documentation turned in. They finally said they received all they needed and took many days/weeks to go over everything with a fine tooth comb as expected for circumstances involved. After much stress and financial burden as we were not able to touch our checking account due to funds always being verified for closing, finally told on XX/XX/XXXX by upper management not to worry, loan would get closed by end of week. Scheduled day off from work. On XX/XX/XXXX called and told the loan was being manually approved and signed off on and we would be closing the next day. Confirmed again morning of XX/XX/XXXX would try and get closed that afternoon but would probably be Monday XX/XX/XXXX. At XXXX received call from realtor that they had fired our loan officer, he was told not have further contact with us and manager would take over loan. We were never told any of this by Ruoff Home Mortgage. Obviously, XXXX was at fault or why would they fire the loan officer who was the only person of integrity over there and tell him not to have further contact. After calls to several upper management and President of company, none of which were returned, finally reached Manager of branch who rudely and abruptly informed me loan was dead. No contact since. On website that they told us to follow closely our loan showed clear to close. Checked again XX/XX/XXXX and loan still showed Initial Underwriting Approval. Still no contact from anyone at Ruoff. On Monday following week received call with completely different explanation why loan did n't close due to us having moved into property per seller agreement due to our home being rented. This was an extremely stressful rollercoaster situation for ourselves and children, we lost money from ending our lease early, as well as having to account for everything that went in and out of our checking account, obtaining insurance, etc. We have supporting website documentation as well as an email forwarded to us.

Consumer complaint received 11-09-2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with Byrider Franchising, LLC (NC).
Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Complaint: I am contacting you because I believe that I am paying too much for a used car. I brought a XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX from JDBYRIDER in XXXX. The car had XXXX miles on in when I brought it. They have recently moved to XXXX. When I brought the car home, it was hard for me to turn it back on. I went to them and I needed a cam sensor. The sales associate assured me that everything on the car was in good condition. The car had bad tires and rotors, which I told them about when I took the car to get the cam sensor changed. They told me nothing was wrong. I went to get my brakes checked and they told me there was nothing wrong. When I looked at the brakes they were almost gone, so I changed them and my rotors. I also bought the car with a broken side mirror and told them about it, but they said I would have to pay for that. I told them I was not paying for that because it was broken when I brought the car. The sales XXXX XXXX said that it was not covered in my warranty. The mechanic looked at the mirror and said the bolts were broken. He said that I would have to pay XXXX dollars for the mirror and XXXX dollars to get it painted. I went to talk to the the sales associate that sold me the car and he said he knew nothing about it. The spark plugs needed to be changed because they were corroded and had oil on them. They put the wrong type of spark plugs in my car and it did not run right until I put the right ones in it. I told the mechanic that there is a loud noise coming from my car, which I told them to check the brakes and rotors and they told me there was nothing wrong and they denied me. when I changed my brakes and rotors, the front brakes were worn unevenly on the outer side. The rotors were rusted and were hard to come off. I told them that my dashboard vibrates when I accelerate or slow down really fast. They looked at it, but it still would make noise and vibrate. They do not put the work that they have done on people 's cars in the computer like they are supposed to. 
Furthermore, I am paying too much for this car and the payment do not seem to be going down. It has become hard for me to make the payments on the car and all the car company does is constantly call for money. They do n't care about what I am going through, they just want money. They do n't wan to reason with me at all. The car is not worth as much as I am paying for it. I think there is something else going on.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I text drove a XXXX XX/XX/XXXX that was manufactured in XX/XX/XXXX. I did not see any flaws during the text drive. It was bought from a certified Ford Dealer. However, after XXXX weeks of owning the vehicle, a new battery was needed. Thus, it was revealed that the car had been in a previous accident.

XXXX of XXXX, GA. had to replace the A. C. unit twice. This is only after 2 years of owning the vehicle and still being under the XXXX. I do want this issue cleared and removed from my credit reporting history, which includes all trade lines entered by Ford Motor XXXX. Car was repossessed during my unemployment. Also, I had possessions such as my notary stamp ( XXXX XXXX ) that was not returned to me.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint: Rent Recovery Solutions is falsely placing an eviction on my credit report. This creditor is stating that its accurate in which its not. I never stayed in this location, never signed a lease. I did apply for the apartment but decided not to sign the contract.

Consumer complaint received 07/29/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
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: Transunion is allowing XXXX XXXX XXXX to report incomplete information on my credit report. Transunion notes the status as never late for an account that was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, however, the loan servicer is only reporting monthly payment history for most months an " Unknown ''. During conception and origination of the loans, the servicer agreed to update each month the account was in good standing as '' OK ''. Also Transunion posts to my credit report that my account originated in XX/XX/XXXX, however payment history for four of the past seven years are missing. This is the case for more than XXXX different student loan accounts that Transunion has allowed to post to my credit file from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am missing over 500 payment history updates. It is unfair to allow the burden of the debt to reflect on my credit report without allowing me to receive the benefit of the credit age and payment history which are significant factors in my credit score. When I disputed this information Transunion allowed the lender to remove most historical data for payment history which is against completeness provisions of the Credit Reporting Act, 611 a 15 USC 1681ia. This appeared to be retaliatory because newer, undisputed loans originating in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX report a status of " OK '' each month. Payment history is available and known and must be reported. XXXX has also supplied a document that states the payments have all been on time.
