Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, Senior Collector at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted me on XX/XX/XXXX about my account being negative. Since it was a new account I had just opened in XX/XX/XXXX, I had not even used the account yet. I was only able to set up my direct deposit from my part time job. I replied to XXXX 's email stating that my XXXX account was hacked and fraudulent purchases were made. Because my new bank account was attached, it tried to withdraw from it. I contacted XXXX and they closed my account and I had to create a new one. I even provided her with the email from XXXX in regards to the fraudulent charges. The bank told me I had to physically come inside the bank to dispute. At the time, I lived in XXXX, GA and could not XXXX XXXX into any branch, therefore opening up a dispute online through their secure inbox. Even after providing proof, they still didnt close the account for fraud and began reporting this on my credit report. I have attached the conversation between me and XXXX from Florida Commerce.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
The Experian Web site has repeatedly declined my requests to add a Security Freeze to my Experian credit file. First, for consumers like me with an Experian online account, information on adding a Security Freeze is difficult to find when logged in. Despite highly visible information on how to lock ones credit file ( at $ XXXX/mo. ), theres no upfront information on how to freeze ones file ( one-time {$5.00} fee ). Instead, the customer must search deep into Support information to learn about Security Freezes. This may increase the companys revenues by channeling customers to the higher cost option, but it provides a disservice to many customers who need only a freeze. After finding the online application to add a Security Freeze, I completed it, but it was declined. ( The application and decline are hereby attached for reference. ) Instead, I was asked to mail in a hard copy application. Because a mail-in application entails significantly more time, effort, and cost to me, and because I would thereby expose my sensitive personal information to additional risk of theft, I demand the company fix their online application process, so that a Security Freeze may be added securely and expediently by electronic means. I wish also to refer to my CFPB complaint # XXXX, in which I document how Experian Web site errors recently prevented me from monitoring my Experian credit report, as an another indication of how poorly Experian is serving consumers.

Issue: Money was not available when promised — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a XXXX deposit to Coinbase on XX/XX/XXXX, which was received by their bank on XX/XX/XXXX. For XXXX Euros. 

The deposit still has not been added to my online account with coinbase, nor has the money been returned to me. The deposit/transaction is still showing as pending on my coinbase account. Even though, my bank has confirmed that their bank has received the funds on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Coinbase support have only responded using templated emails and have not provided an explanation, timeframe or proposed resolution. Whats worse, they responded saying that all my transactions have gone through and that they ca n't see anything wrong in my account. 

Coinbase took my deposit on the XX/XX/XXXX and have held onto my money. And have not made it available for me to spend of withdraw, or given a reason for the delay. The deposit/transaction has been stuck as pending since XX/XX/XXXX, and coinbase have my money, but have not updated my balance for the last 3 weeks. 

I fear I will never see my money again.

We as hard working tax paying Americans are held to obey the law and its ok, but company think they are above the law in question. What I think shoulsd be done is to be paid XXXX a call for their unlawful collection acts and violations of the Fair Debt Collection act.

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I received an offer ( addressed to me and mailed to my business ) from American Express, offering XXXX XXXX Preferred Guest points for the first {$5000.00} spent and another XXXX XXXX Preferred Guest points for an additional {$5000.00} spent.

I spent {$7900.00} over a period of several weeks ( and paid the balance in full ), but no SPG points were received as offered. I contacted American Express approximately ten days ago, and was told it was possible I was n't eligible because I had previously owned the card which was closed in XX/XX/XXXX. The American Express associated indicated she would forward the issue to " escalated complaints '' for clarification. I called again today, and after being disconnected twice, was connected with XXXX ( employee ID XXXX of XXXX, AZ ) a supervisor with American Express. He agreed I should be awarded the points, as American Express solicited the promotional offer, it was noted on my account and I met the required terms. After being placed on hold for a few minutes, he indicated that I would not be given the points.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In late XXXX, I was issued new credit cards with new credit card numbers because one of the cards on my account was last and the old credit cards were canceled. However, Chase continued to accept charges for XXXX from my son, who had access to my old credit card but not my new one. To date, Chase has accepted four unauthorized purchases totaling {$52.00}. I disputed the charges because my son is not authorized to use my new credit card but Chase refused to reverse the charges because I had made purchases from XXXX on my old card and told me to contact XXXX about cancelling my son 's XXXX account, which I ca n't do because it is my son 's account, not mine, and XXXX will not cancel an old card without giving them a new, valid card, which he does not have. I explained to Chase that I did not authorize the four XXXX purchases but they contend that because I authorized purchases from XXXX under the old card in the past, that I am responsible for all further purchases from XXXX ( and XXXX and any other merchants with which I have done business ) that continue to be made under the cancelled card.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Some months ago, I received an on-line notice from XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, Ohio that my XXXX. credit card payment was over due.I have never opened an account with this " bank '' and do not even know if they are a legitimate company.With all of the web security issues of late, I am more than a little reluctant to contact these people directly for fear that I may compromise myself further. 
I am constantly being called at all hours and emailed with threatening notices about this account. As a result, I have become paranoid about answering my phone, have trouble sleeping at night and have devolved into states of XXXX at times. 
All of my banking is done through my local credit union and my credit, except for this issue, is impeccable. My credit card has a zero balance and the interest rate is below 10 % a.p.r.I would never open an account such as the one in question that has an a.p.r.over 30 % and late fees of {$34.00}. 
I am a retired XXXX vet and live on my Social Security alone so my income puts me substantially below the national poverty line.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Navient has reported SEVEN of my student loans as previously delinquent. This was recently learned when speaking to my lender about trying to obtain a mortgage. The student loans in question were wrongfully taken out of deferment and Navient will not correct the issue and remove the delinquent remarks on my credit report. I have tried speaking with them as well as disputing the information via the credit reporting agencies. I have been enrolled at XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and am not anticipated to graduate until late XX/XX/XXXX, mid XX/XX/XXXX. The only remedy Navient has done is place the delinquent accounts in a current status. 

2 of them opened XX/XX/XXXX, with 4 missed payments, XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payments, XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payment, and 3 in XX/XX/XXXX with 4 missed payments. 

As a result of their inconsistency and unwillingness to assist an XXXX XXXX veteran, my credit score has  suffered immensely and my ability to get a home loan is now dependent on whether or not they will remedy their previous error.
