Product: Consumer Loan — Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan with One Main Financial for {$7500.00} around XX/XX/XXXX and in XX/XX/XXXX, the company did a deferment payment without my consent. But, my main problem is the amount that they put towards the actual balance of the loan. My monthly payments are {$270.00} each month and from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, nothing from the amount I paid was applied to the balance. The first payment of {$92.00} was applied to the balance on XX/XX/XXXX. They did another deferment without my consent in XXXX. I was confused. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$300.00} and nothing went toward the balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$150.00} and nothing went toward the payment. In my opinion, this is criminal. I do understand that I was in need of financial assistance at the time and things were difficult but I have been paying this bill over a course of 2 years and I still have a balance of {$6300.00}. There is something that should be done to balance out. I do understand about interest and that the company has to make money but I find this to be unjust. This is taking advantange of people.

Complaint narrative:
For more that 60 days I 've had a credit balance on a card I canceled. When I canceled the card I selected the option to have the credit balance automatically transferred to my bank account. After a few weeks the money was still not transferred, so I called and requested a check, which they promised to send within 10 business days. More than 30 days have passed and still I have n't received my money from them.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I opened a Citigold checking account with an offer stating I would receive XXXX Thank You points ( worth approx. {$500.00} ) after meeting certain criteria. I then met those criteria, confirmed with XXXX Citi representatives in XXXX and XXXX XXXX that I had met the criteria, and was told to expect the XXXX Thank You points to be deposited into my account by XX/XX/XXXX. During this time I was charged XXXX monthly service fees of {$30.00} each. Now, after confirming this promotion was applied to my account, confirming that I had met the requirements, and confirming that the points would be deposited XX/XX/XXXX, Citi has pulled a bait and switch. They have suddenly decided I do n't qualify unless I can find a postcard from 5 months ago showing the offer. I do n't keep mail around for 5 months, and NOTHING was ever said over the past 5 months about needing to keep that post card. Now I have {$30.00} of fees and I will not be getting {$500.00} worth of Thank You points. I 'm not alone. XXXX people are in the same situation as me. I 've done google searches and found forums full of people having this problem. It 's not right. I 've been lied to, and my money has been taken. Apparently I have to uphold my end of the terms and conditions by paying a monthly service fee, but Citi does n't have to uphold theirs. Something needs to be done. I hope enough pressure can be put on Citibank to make them honor the promotion they already told me I qualified for.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity thief. The credit card company called me and told me they stole my credit card number, and they were doing illegal charges. The credit card company told me to file a complain for all the illegal charges, and I did. Since that incident, I did n't use the credit card, and three months later I still had a balance on the card and fees for charges that I did n't do. It is affecting my Fico score just because the company does n't want to do the job. The customer service has been a nightmare. We called at least XXXX times, and they still did n't fix the problem. Should I sue the credit card company for damage?

Complaint narrative:
I have had a Home Depot Credit Card for three years now. It had a low $ 500limit which I did not mind since I do not frequent Home Depot as there are otheroptions closer. The credit limit was recently increased to {$1500.00} which I did notrequest nor was I notified of. 
I received a letter in XXXX stating that if I do not use the card byXX/XX/XXXX XXXX 2015 they would close my card. Two days after I received the letterthey closed it. I called the same day and spoke to a rep on the phone whosaid they would reopen the card since it was closed early and for me to make apurchase to keep it open. She stated it would take two business days for thecard to reopen. Today, XXXX/XXXX/2015, I tried to make a purchase at the store andmy card was declined. After calling in, they refused to reopen the card. Therewas no notification of the card being closed after I spoke with the rep who saidit would be reopened and she would escalate the issue to her manager. 
Another rep today informed me a manager never saw the issue and they wentahead with the closure any way. 
The embarrassment and wasted time of going in there to shop and get to theregister to have the card declined with no warning. I have other cards that mylimits have been increased, but Home Depot givesme {$500.00} and says that is too much of a " risk ''. Please. I have never been lateon any payments, and I was planning on paying this in full any way. In orderto get a new card, they want me to reapply, which means another hit on mycredit. Not to mention they closed the account so that will hurt my credit aswell. I have had no bad payment history with them and I am not a risk. Theyshould not be able to arbitrarily close some ones account without at telling, or do it prior to the time frame they disclosed. They lied and are deceitful withtheir lending practices.

Complaint narrative:
On my credit report as of XX/XX/2016., I am still being reported by Sears as being 120 days ' delinquent in making payments to my account. 
However, when the first notification by Sears by phone that a payment was due, I made a payment in full. During that conversation, I explained that I have not received any notification ( Alert notification on the web site ) of any overdue payment or statements. The representative explained that there have been issues reported, and I was credited any late charges to my account. After that conversation, a Sears posted a past due payment on my credit report. In a conversation with sears, I found it to be in my best interest to close the account, of which I received a written confirmation on XX/XX/2016. 
Regardless, even after the account has been paid in full, and closed, sears are still reporting that my account is delinquent or 120 days past due. However, there is a zero balance, the account is closed, and in contacting them by phone did not provided me any resources to correct the issue.

Issue: Late fee — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I was charged late fees on both of my Capital One accounts fraudently. I have a balance above {$800.00} on both accounts and the monthly minimal amount due was under {$50.00}, and the payment due dates on both accounts are the XXXX of each month. I decided to make an EARLY payment on both accounts on XXXX XXXX, 2016, although my payments were n't due until XXXX,2016. When I contacted Capital One and spoke with a manager ( XXXX ), advised me I was charged a late fee because I paid early on both accounts so the XXXX,2016 payments applied to my XXXX bill. She also explained to me the reason my XXXX XXXX payments were applied to the XXXX billing was also because my XXXX billing had not been released until XXXX XXXX, 2016, which made no sense. If I made an XXXX payments it should be credited for XXXX, not XXXX. There was absolutely nothing on their website that indicated a payment rollback, which would grant them permission to apply my payments backwards. This is a fraudulent business practice to allow Capital One the ability to collect fees from me as a customer/consumer, they do n't deserve. I pay on time every month and I over pay the minimal amount due. Why would they penalize a customer which could negatively impact my credit?!

Company: Harvard Collections, LLC

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/2016 I received a call from Harvard Collection regarding a debt I owe to the IL Dept of Revenue. I do not dispute the debt however the original caller from Harvard Collections named XXXX pressured me to make payment with only a prepaid credit card and she would not give the address of her agency. At that time I googled the agencies address and sent a letter to them requesting I no longer receive phone calls per FDCPA. I also contacted IL Dept Rev about this as well as IL Attorney General. I had also received letter from IL Dept of Revenue stating that I could pay debt by withholding my Federal Income Tax and communicated that is the only way I can plan to resolve this debt at this time. As of XX/XX/XXXX I received another call from XXXX XXXX at Harvard Collections requesting payment. Again I have sent another letter telling them they are not compliance with my previous notificiation to only receive communication via mail. I also notified IL Dept. of Revenue and IL Attorney General. I do not dispute my debt ; however I do dispute the fact that Harvard Collections with their initial call and payment method and since I did send a letter requesting no contact by telephone and only mail I dispute this additional collections call to my home from Harvard Collections. I believe I had made clear communication to IL Dept of Revenue of my intentions to pay and if in the near future I become blessed enough to obtain the funds I owe prior to my Federal Income Tax return I will pay the debt. At this time I am making sure I have adequate funds to pay my rent and able to continue working ; but my paychecks only cover living expenses. I sleep on a mattress on the floor and I try to make ends meet by visiting food pantry and I never go out to eat ; I make make lunches ; needless to say steak and lobster is not on the menu ... .beans, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese sustain my existence. My home phone bill is barely paid and my family does not have the money to help me pay my outstanding debt. My mother is in XXXX XXXX with a not very good prognosis of survival. When I can I visit her but it does pose a hardship for my pocketbook. Your assistance with this matter is very much appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX To whom it may concern, My name XXXX XXXX, I bought a cognac collection bottle from XXXX XXXX. After I received pictures from her I agreed to purchase it in what I was led to believe was in good conditions. I sent payment on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( I am dispute in these amount {$340.00}, {$620.00} & {$1600.00} payment to XXXX ). The first shipping bottles was sent on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I received the XXXX package after 3 long weeks of waiting which I finally received by mail service on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( if she was sent by XXXX or XXXX I can received package early and less damage because package was lay around and less handle careful .... ), after I opened the package I smelled a scent of liquor which turns out was leaking from the bottle along with a label was stain with damage. At which point I decided to take pictures of it, I sent a notice to her and told her I would like to return it. It is apparent and obvious that the bottle was leaking prior her selling it to me. I tried to communicate with her to return it or credit me for damaged bottle. But she stated and told me old stuff may leak or stain ... that is normal for old stuff ... but I told her ... not for me and I do not buy damage goods. I just want return it! I have done some research to try and return it by XXXX or XXXX to send back to her. But liquid goods that leak are not permitted to send back, if the carrier smell or see something leaking they will destroy on site. It is a waste of my time and money, I received another package on XXXX XXXX, XXXX after 6 weeks and I did not open up because I knew should it be damaged due to the postal service, I would be stuck with yet another leaky bottle ( cheap shipping package lay around so long and not handling careful ... return with receipt from XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 
I was advice from my credit card ( Capital One Master Card ) return Items to the seller ( and I had receipt I was sent back ) I did not get credit back to my credit and I also sent all back up pictures and dowload the document to credit card link on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and fax on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and now my credit charge back to my credit card ... even I was return stuff back to seller & credit card I had insurance to protection to buy I tried to get second pinion/ appraisal for the bottle that was damage but I can not find any companies around in XXXX County , Virginia to do so. I even went as far as to going to pawn shop to ask for a second opinion. Which I had no success for various reasons and them thinking it was some kind of law enforcement operation or sting ( in Virginia only XXXX stores are allowed to sell hard liquor ). I will also be discussing with my credit card company. I can bring the goods to your office to see. ( Capital One headquarters is in XXXX XXXX not too far from my house ). Please let me know of any ideas I can use to pursue to this dispute. 
Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX different Capital One Credit Cards, accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX. Capital One is reporting late payments on both of my accounts. I have disputed the late payments and asked for them to please provide me with the date the accounts became 30 days late, the date that I called them with my payment or hen th payment was withdrawn from my bank and the date the payment was credited to my account. I have sent 3 different letters to Capital One Bank in XXXX XXXX XXXX and the response I get back from them is : " We have confirmed the late payments. '' They are refusing to provide proof that the payments were indeed 30 days late and are refusing to provide me with information that I, as a consumer, am entitled to receive under the law. I have never disputed that the charges are mine nor have I stopped payment on the accounts, all I have asked is that they provide me proof that the 30 days late payments they are reporting are correct. Since they have refused to do so on several occasions, I believe that they do not have proof that the accounts were paid 30 days late. Capital One Bank is know for holding payments for a day or two if the deadline for 30 days is close. Do I admit that I have come close on those dates that they are claiming 30 days late, yes I have no problems admitting to that, but every single time I have made a payment I make sure to ask : " This will not put my account into 30 days late correct? '' And every single time I have been assured by their Customer Service Representative, " No, you 're paying within the 30 days so you will not be late ''. I feel that Capital One Bank is not being up front and honest and providing a customer with what they are required to do by law.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I had a hardship. I noticed that no matter how much I paid on my Juniper ( Barclay 's Bank ) credit card the balance never came down. I was at 12.99 APR. I thought this odd since all my other cc were higher interest and the balance was reflecting my payments. So I called and asked for forbearance and also inquired about the balance and payments received. I was told that they could help by bring my interest down on new purchases for one year. As far as my balance they said I needed to pay more than the minimum which I did more often than not. After the phone call the closed my account. I made XXXX or XXXX payments and noticed no change in the balance and decided to stop payment on the Juniper cc and make payments on cc 's that were showing a positive result towards my balance. This was XXXX, up to this date I had paid nearly XXXX on a XXXX balance. They also locked me out of my online account to where I could not retrieve any information. Fast forward to XXXX. I have been receiving harassing phone calls from Juniper since XXXX asking for payment. I have sent letters, and have asked them to stop calling as I am not financially obligated to this account anymore. In XXXX XXXX the account was sold to a collection agency who told me that I had until XXXX XXXX to pay the settlement amount of XXXX or they will bring a judgement against me. I looked into my credit on both XXXX XXXX and XXXX and both show that Barclay Bank state that I continued to make payments up to XXXX of XXXX which is not only a lie but fraud. I have bank statements to prove otherwise. I was without employment. I was a student at the time, and refused to pay Barclay Bank due to their unfair practices back in XXXX. And since in XXXX I was the only one who was employed would be the reason for my asking for forbearance. Barclay Bank fraudulently added time and payments to my account so that they could continue to pursue, harass and ultimately sue me. 
I have disputed this with XXXX XXXX online, but will need to call XXXX to dispute.
