Complaint narrative:
XXXX is reporting an account that was showing a XXXX  balance last month is now reporting a balance of XXXX the account is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account was reporting XXXX now its reporting with this balance it made my score decrease by 55 points. This should have never happened. I fully expect XXXX to correct this wrong information and report like it did last month as an account with a XXXX balance. It took me months to finally get this account corrected and now its back to square one. Having this wrong information reporting is causing me a hardship with obtaining substantial credit.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I received a statement from Citi Bank stating I had a balance due on my Credit Card. I paid the balance in FULL by the due date. I then received a statement with a balance. I contacted Citi bank and they said " that was the balance due from the time they mailed the statement to the time they received payment ''. I did verify that they did receive my payment before the due date. If thats the case, how will I ever pay this off? I go online, my account says " Balance Due '' and provides a due date. If I pay it in full by that date, it should be satisfied. They continue to bill me interest charges. I pull the bill online to get the most up to date information and pay that. Then I receive a bill for interest. I have tried to resolve this with them even by calling and trying to pay in full over the phone. NO LUCK!

To Whom It May Concern : I have contacted Experian consumer dispute department and fraud department several times by phone, via email and through certified mail notifying them I am a victim of Identity Theft and that there are items on my report that were fraudulently opened and not belonging to me. I have sent the Experian Identity Theft Affidavits, Police Reports and Military records establishing my position in XXXX, XXXX at the time of these fraudulent accounts being opened as well. After submitting substantial information to prove these accounts are fraudulent, Experian continues to refuse to investigate and remove these account from my credit report. 

Each time, Experian has sent me a computed generated response that states : " IF THIS ACCOUNT WAS OPENED AS A RESULT OF IDENTITY THEFT, THE CREDIT GRANTOR MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO CONTACT YOU TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER, THE CREDIT GRANTOR REQUEST THAT YOU CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY. '' However, I have contacted the creditor grantor directly and the creditor grantor is stating that they never told Experian they request I contact them directly and this is a computer generated message by Experian. 

The below accounts were fraudulently opened. They are INACURATE on my  credit report and I have disputed these accounts with the credit grantor prior to contacting Experian and your office. I want these FRAUDULENT accounts removed from my credit report.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Georgia has recently changed the functionality of the website used for the TJ Maxx Rewards Visa Credit Card. This morning I went online to pay my bill and discovered that the redesign of the site has made it exceedingly difficult to pay the statement balance that is currently due. 

Instead of displaying the statement balance ; the minimum payment due ; the current balance ; and the available balance, the prominent information consists only of the the last three items ( plus available cash advance value ). The consumer should be able to easily discern, as it was up until now, what the actual statement balance due is, and not be misled into paying more than is technically due on the due date. 

Although XXXX XXXX XXXX design team may believe they improved the user experience by using bigger fonts and adding more negative space to the screen, they have in reality made important information less visible and retrievable only through the use of added clicks which are not so apparent to the average user. 

They need to use more average consumer focus groups when redesigning the tools on the website. I fear the average user will unnecessarily pay more than the balance due amount on the statement because the site now esentially buries that amount. Thank goodness I still get paper statements because even viewing the most recent paper statement was challenging.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I was issued XXXX XXXX Debit card ending in XXXX which happened to be a fake one, not associated to me records. I turned this fake fraudulent card to a bank in XXXX at XXXX XXXX The real debit card end in XXXX has been used for over 150 transaction without my authorization or consent. My case was denied because they say I authorized this transaction which impossible because I never had that card ending in XXXX. 

They have been un willing to connect to explain or reasoning for this arbitrary decision. This effects my credit and my identity. 

Wells Fargo also seem very un concerned that the fake debit card I returned was an issue. 

I would like my case to approved in a more timely manner and Wells Fargo held accountable.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My complaint involves the business practices and Debt collection practices of Ally Financial. XX/XX/XXXX I was in a bad XXXX XXXX at work and was in the hospital with a XXXX XXXX and XXXX that required XXXX causing me to be out of work for a while. I notified Ally because I knew i was going to get behind on the {$970.00} that I paid on time for two years. So I called Ally Financial and spoke to a manager on a recored line and advised her of my situation and medical condition and I would be on XXXX for a while. The manager then told me yes you are a good customer and what would you like to do? I advised her that I did not know how I was going to pay the car not and would like to give it back, she was then like o.k. thats an option and we would take it back and you would have nothing due to us because we would sell it.I paid in excess of {$15000.00} dollars on a care that was worth only {$39000.00}. Now we we tricked into buying the car due to the XXXX that we purchased at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ga had about eight recalls and two of them were safety recalls, so with that being said they would not allow us to take our XXXX home and gave us trade options. So now that I no longer have the vehicle Ally Financial has taken the vehicle back voluntary, but before they had the car they called in excess of 6 to 8 times a week in a harassing nature. I had to send them letters and ask them to stop calling and they did not. After sending several letters and seeing this on my credit report as negative they continue to harass me by adding XXXX dollars to the balance that I do not owe because they sold the vehicle and want to still come after me although the aforementioned Agent told me they would not. I sent them letters and they ignored several times and the last one I sent on XX/XX/XXXX I received no response until XX/XX/XXXX which was past 30 days. Now they are saying they cant find the conversation or any letters I sent and I have all copies I find this as corporate bullying and misrepresentation.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
My wife made a reservation at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX TN for XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and prepaid with her SunTrust debit card. Upon their arrival they experienced an  ongoing family party with excessive alcohol use. My son was attending XXXX  XXXX for the week and the ongoing noise was significantly disruptive. They were also concerned for their safety and security as there was no lock on their door. After two days they moved out to the XXXX XXXX and requested the balance of the prepayment ( {$810.00} of the {$1200.00} paid. The owner said she " would talk to her husband '' but ultimately refused to refund the difference. There was no contract or disclosure at any time. We asked SuntTrust to obtain our refund but they said the merchant refused to pay. I think we should be given a full refund but will accept the unused portion.
