Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On X/XX/2017 I noticed a fraudulent charge on my credit card statement that was made at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 in the amount of {$47.00}. I notified my credit card company on XX/XX/2017 that this charge was fraudulent and submitted claim number XXXX. On XX/XX/17 I received a response from Bank of America that they have determined the charge was valid. I called Bank of America on XX/XX/2017 in the hopes of appealing this decision and I was told the case has been closed and can not be appealed. I did not make this transaction and am dissatisfied with the resolution of this case. Bank of America has failed to prove that I made this charge, and have not taken any action to protect my compromised account from further fraudulent activity.

Complaint narrative:
2 years ago now I got a pay day loan and when it went through the company put it through twice. They have tried to charge me twice now for one payday loan and because of their mistakes that I should n't have to pay for.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Law Offices of Robert A. Schuerger Co., LPA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving student aid to attend classes full time since the XXXX of 2012. There is an old XXXX loan that showed up on my account and has been included in the total of outstanding loans. A law firm has taken the loan and put it into default status which has put a hold on my student aid for this Fall semester. I am on the XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX University with a XXXX GPA. I have XXXX classes remaining to graduate. If I do n't get my student aid, I can not take my classes which I 'm registered for and ultimately wo n't be able to graduate. There is currently grant money sitting on my student financial aid which can not be released because of this. I 've contacted the original loan servicer which is XXXX XXXX University, they told me to contact the Ohio Attorney General 's office and they directed me to the law firm. The law firm is Law Offices of Robert A. Schuerger Co. , LPA, at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ohio XXXX. XXXX. They told me there was nothing they could do and that I had to repay the entire loan plus extra fees and interest. The total amount is impossible to pay and I explained that I 've been enrolled in school full time for 5 years. In addition to that, the loan shows up on my list of loans two times with one showing default and the other as deferred. This also increases the total of my outstanding debt. If this is n't resolved so I can graduate, I 'll have wasted 5 years and gone into deep debt with no hope of getting a better paying job which would also enable me to pay off all of my student loans.

Company: FirstPoint Collection Resources
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On X/X/2017 at XXXX and XXXX, a representative, 'XXXX. XXXX ', with FirstPoint Resources disclosed nonpublic personal information regarding a debt of mine without verifying who she was speaking with. On both phone calls, the representative disclosed my name, address, amount of debt, and original debtor without verifying who she was disclosing that information too. Luckily for me, I was the one on the other end of the phone call in both situations ; however, that information could easily be in the hands of someone else for identify theft purposes now which is a major concern.

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: FIRST REPUBLIC BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We are in the midst of construction and realized we needed a significant change order due to some structural issues that arose. We called a number of banks and found out that most banks would n't do a home equity loan while under construction. We spoke to First Republic and they said that they could do things other banks could n't and offered us a home equity loan. We spent two months filling out paperwork, notarizing items, and working through their process. I was also told I could draw on my original home equity loan at another bank during this process. However, when I went to write a check I realized that they had closed my home equity loan with my other bank!
After two months, they called me and explained that they were n't giving us the loan since we were too early in construction. This seems crazy considering that they had an appraiser come out and photograph the project and we were very honest as to where we were in construction. Another large issue is that they tried to force me to open a checking account and I refused until they opened the loan.
Therefore, my complain is on three fronts : ( 1 ) useless opening of loan paperwork due to lack of due diligence, ( 2 ) closing of my other accounts when they specifically told me using that old account was not an issue and ( 3 ) trying to force someone to open a checking account for a loan they were not planning to grant me ( bait and switch ).
While I 'm not doing business with this company ( nor would I ), others should be warned about their business practices.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX and or XXXX XXXX : On or about XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX about misinformation the company made and placed on my credit report. I disputed the information and contacted the DAC, ( Delinquency Assistance Center ), a XXXX third party partner. I spoke with XXXX who told me XXXX had provided the information I was disputing to XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union.
Specifically, XXXX said XXXX reported as of XX/XX/XXXX I was more than 120 days past due on my mortgage. That information is untrue. XXXX also said XXXX XXXX  and or XXXX policy is to report mortgages as delinquent or late even if the mortgagee continues to make payments which I did after contacting XXXX to request mortgage assistance.
I was approved for a reduction in payment plan in XX/XX/XXXXand thereafter placed on a modification plan with a 3-month trial payment period that I paid as agreed. Nonetheless XXXX reported to the credit agencies I was 120 days delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX. I believe incorrect reporting violates the Consumer Protection and Fair Debt Practices Acts.
Any payments not made on my mortgage occurred because XXXX  instructed me to not make payments until after my modification was completed. I did as XXXX instructed. I want my credit reports corrected and future reporting to be accurate as according to law. I want a statement from XXXX explaining its policy with supporting legal documentation.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
-On   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 I paid all of my accounts with USAA in full.
-On XX/XX/XXXX  I confirmed that all of my accounts were paid off in full and found I still owed  XXXX  on my account -On  XX/XX/XXXX  I sent in a payment of {$27.00} in order to pay off my Master Card account in full. I confirmed with USAA that the account was paid off in full.
-On  XX/XX/XXXX  USAA assigned a charge to a  XXXX  for   XXXX  . I called them and asked them to remove it as the card had been paid in full. Over the course of the next week I talked to multiple managers at USAA and they refused to remove it. I specifically requested they examine all my accounts with USAA to ensure I was paid in full. I told them I would write a complaint to the CFPB in regard to this.
-On  XX/XX/XXXX  USAA called to tell me they were going to waive the  XXXX . They had already done so as of   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017.
- On XX/XX/XXXX  USAA assigned a charge of {$1.00} to the Master Card I had paid off in full on XX/XX/XXXX .
This is clearly a retaliation for submitting a CFPB complaint and an attempt to get money from me for the {$8.00} they " waived '' from the other account. I have asked them to ensure all of my accounts are closed and completed prior to  XX/XX/XXXX , and they told me they were. I have paid them in full and they just keep assigning charges to me on an account that they can then assign a late fee to if it is not paid and use that account to destroy my credit rating. They have implied as much in conversations threatening to send these charges to collections.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 2017 I contacted Trans Union about identity theft and their credit reporting that displays ancient information ( closed accounts ) and incorrect information regarding several accounts in my file.
Trans Union refused to make notation or correction of the items I disputed. In fact informed me that I had to contact the companies and provide information back to them. The other credit agencies XXXX and XXXX  corrected and deleted the same erroneous information on my credit reports.
I believe Trans Union has the responsibility to contact the company that provided the information to them to confirm its accuracy. As well all the credit companies especially Trans Union, who arrogantly prides itself as '' we are more difficult than the other credit agencies '' ( is what they stated to me ) should not be allowed to take any company 's word that a consumer is irresponsible, without proof, when a dispute is made. Trans Union should be made to require documents ; i.e. signed contracts and or agreements to confirm company reporting is accurate.
