Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I advised my credit card company ( Chase ) I had been exposed to XXXX  and couldn't travel. The company 's representative, who refused to identify himself, told me I need medical documentation to get a refund for a {$400.00} flight. I don't know if I have XXXX, I just know I was exposed to someone who tested positive and I spent a significant period of time with them. I don't have medical documentation, I was just trying to protect people. I supposed Chase would like me to get on a plane regardless of XXXX   exposure.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2019, my statement balance of {$32.00} was paid in full ( via autopay, as usual ) and statement was closed with {$0.00}. A month later, the payment was returned and appeared as a XXXX balance on the next statement, along with late fees. I had no idea this was happening until I found out a few months later as I noticed the effects on my credit score. I was not using the credit card ( Macy 's store card ) so did not expect a charge after closing the said statement. This was exacerbated by the loss ( potentially theft ) of my mail including letters from Macy 's, recovered months later by the USPIS. I was not notified by e-mail, text, or phone. 

The reason why the payment was returned was a mystery for a while, until after repeated calls to Macy 's customer support and escalating the issue a few levels up the management chain, they identified that it was because the autopay attempted to draw money from a closed account. Importantly, I had updated it to another active account more than a year before this happened, and the autopay had been consistently successful in previous statements. The issue was probably due to a technical error on the creditor 's end. They accepted it over the phone and returned the late fees, but never corrected the credit reporting. 

A more detailed account of the events is attached, along with documented evidence to substantiate the stated facts. 

This has since damaged my credit score and will cost me tens of thousands of dollars in mortgage interests on my recent home purchase. I would like this to be fixed as soon as possible so I can refinance my mortgage with a better credit score. 

I have already contacted the creditor ( Macys ) directly and the three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) multiple times to fix this issue, but they have not been helpful.

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: WAKEFIELD & ASSOCIATES, INC.
State: WY

Complaint narrative:
Wakefield and associates had me served with court papers XX/XX/2020 for medical bills. They had already been paid in full by my insurance company. I was being sued for like {$450.00}. I went through and got my EOB from my insurance. Called the doctor 's office that sent me to collections they admitted it was a mess up on their part but said nothing they could do. Took my EOB personally to Wakefield and associates proved I didn't owe them anything. That was on a Friday, well Monday they still proceeded to go to court and lie about me proving that I didn't owe the debt to obtain a garnishment order. I then called back after I received the order in the mail to ask them why or how they were going to garnish when I already proved I didn't owe the bills, they still garnished my husband 's check for almost {$300.00} for bills we did NOT owe! Well now it's happening again! I sent a letter contesting these latest doctor bills they are suing me for as I don't get bills from our local hospital only sent to collections so I have no idea if I owe them or not. Yet they're ignoring it once again, and have a garnishment order on my husband 's check! Not to mention in a pandemic where it's touch and go if we will have groceries! This company feels they're above the law and don't have to follow fair credit collection laws!
