Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Facts : 1. Kohls alleges that I owe {$250.00} on purchases made. 
2. I have had several conversations with Kohls representatives and sent many confirming documents. 
3. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I made an electronic payment of {$210.00} from my account at XXXX XXXX. Admittedly, that payment was directed to the wrong account number ( XXXX ). It was sent to Kohls XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WI XXXX. 
a. XXXX XXXX acknowledges sending that payment and debiting it from my account. I have proof of Payment from my back and have provided it to Kohl 's. 
b. I have not received a bank credit for this payment and XXXX XXXX says it has cleared. Because it is electronic, I have no canceled check to offer as additional proof. 
4. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I made an electronic payment of {$32.00} from my account at XXXX XXXX. Admittedly, that payment was directed to the wrong account number ( XXXX ). It was sent to Kohls XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WI XXXX. 
a. XXXX XXXX acknowledges sending that payment and debiting it from my account. Attached as Exhibit B is a Proof of Payment document from XXXX XXXX. 
b. I have not received a bank credit for this payment and XXXX XXXX says it has cleared. Because it is electronic, I have no canceled check to offer as additional proof. 
5. My payments were timely, have been received at Kohl 's payment center, and debited from my accounts. In a telephone telephone conversation, Kohl 's representative advised my husband, whom I authorized, that Kohls fees and interest would be credited and suspended while Kohls finds these funds and until my XXXX checking account receives credit for the two payments totaling {$240.00}. 
7. I have issued Stop Payments for the two payments received but not credited by Kohls. This stop payment action cost me {$50.00} and, presuming the bank can stop payment, I believe Kohls should reimburse me {$50.00} in the form of credit. 
8. Once my checking account shows a credit for the two checks totaling {$240.00}, I will immediately send Kohls payment in that same amount. 
9. Until the credit is received either by the stop payment or by your discovery of where the funds were deposited I demanded in a letter that no negative credit report be made.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for an Associated Bank checking account via a bonus promotion on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The promotion terms were as follows : -Open your account with a minimum deposit of {$100.00} from XXXX XXXX, XXXX until XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXMake three payments using Associated Bank Online Bill Pay OR have at least one direct deposit of {$300.00} or more within 45 days of account opening - {$150.00} will be deposited into your account within 75 days of account opening after meeting the qualifications I opened my account with a {$200.00} deposit to meet the first requirement. I then proceeded to make 4 payments using the Associated Bank Online Bill Pay to meet the 2nd requirement. The first 3 bill payments were completed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and the fourth bill payment was completed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

After meeting the requirements on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, {$150.00} was suppose to be deposited into my account within 75 days of account opening. Since my account was opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, 75 days from that date is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. During this waiting period, I contacted Associated Bank Customer Service several times to confirm when the bonus would be deposited. All of their representatives told me the same thing each time : that although I met the requirements of the promotion, I should expect the bonus within 75 days. 

As the 75th day was approaching, multiple reps confirmed it is highly unusual for the bonus to not have been paid out by then. When the 75th day came and went, I had not received the bonus. I contacted Associated 's customer service again several times. One representative told me I would receive a call back the next business day regarding it, but that call back did not happen. I then contacted a supervisor, XXXX, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX who told me that the bonus was scheduled " in the system '' to be deposited either on XXXX or XXXX. As of the evening of XXXX, the bonus was not deposited. 

I contacted another supervisor, XXXX, the evening of XXXX who told me there was nothing he can do and to wait until Monday XXXX for what he hopes would be an update. It is now frustrating that I have been given the runaround multiple times. The bank acknowledges and confirms multiple times that I met the terms and requirements of the promotion a long time ago, but they refuse to follow their own terms of the bonus deposit.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ERC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Within the past month ERC has reported an XXXX XXXX XXXX bill to the bureaus, which has in turn been added as a collection account to my credit files. 

I do not have an XXXX XXXX XXXX account nor do I have an account nor contract with ERC. When ERC sent notice of such alledged debt I requested debt validation. They could not provide appropriate debt validation showing how I owe them for said debt, nor by producing any contract bearing my signature binding me to said debt. A bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX with my name on it does not fit requirements outlined by laws and regulations established via the FCRA. The alledged debt does not belong to me. 

This debt has previously been disputed and successfully removed from my report and reinserted by ERC who can not validate the debt as outlined by regulations of the FCRA. 

ERC must immediately cease and desist all collection activities and request removal of the non validated debt from my credit file with each Bureau they has falsely reported it to in order to prevent litagation to the highest extent possible!

Complaint narrative:
I bought a car in XXXX XXXX. I got a loan through FlagShip and was making payments monthly. I made all my payments on time, however, I got in a crash in XXXX XXXX and my car was totalled. I had insurance and gap insurance which together paid off the car fully. I had no problem for a couple months, but recently ( XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX I checked my credit score and I was flagged as missing a payment. This does n't make sense as the car loan should have been paid of in full by my former insurance company ( they kicked me off afterwards unfortunately ). What can I do to get this reversed, I went from a XXXX to about a XXXX.

Company: Netspend Corporation
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I purchased a XXXX XXXX card on XX/XX/XXXX with an initial load amount of {$110.00}. When I called in to activate the prepaid card so I could pay the bill I bought the card for, XXXX told me that they couldnt activate the card because of some account with Netspend. I do not have an account with Netspend and didnt understand why they would be telling me to call them to get a refund of my funds. They told me that XXXX prepaid is owned by Netspend. So I called Netspend and they said yes that they could not activate my card and that I would have to call XXXX to get my refund. So I call XXXX back and after getting a Manager and on the phone for at least two hours, the manager says that they cant activate it. Well I wanted to just get to the refund already, as this was ridiculous. I purchased a prepaid card with my money to pay my utility bill and they would not let me access the funds that I had purchased the card with! The manager told me that they would mail me a check in the mail and it would take 7 to 10 business days. Im very upset about this to say the least! 
Today the check still has not arrived and I just got off the phone with XXXX. The representative advised me that the check had not been released yet and, not to worry he would get it released today. He then tells me again that it would take 7 to 10 business days. I cant wait that long! I have been without utilities and I have children! I ask him if he can exepedite the check to me and he says no. I ask for a manager and when he transfers me, I just am on hold forever and then it disconnects. I never got to a manger and Im not even sure if my check got released. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! VIOLATION OF AN ACCOUNT HOLDERS RIGHTS! I DONT HAVE ACCESS TO MY MONEY AND THEY JUST DONT DO THEIR JOB WHICH IS A TERRIBLE SOLUTION ANYWAY!

Company: PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Provident Funding purchased our mortgage from another financial institution in XXXX XXXX. By law ( Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ), they are barred from charging a late fee for the first sixty days following the effective date of this transfer. Still, I attempted to setup automatic payments via Provident Funding 's website so that they would be paid in a timely fashion starting in XX/XX/XXXX  Apparently there was an error in the information I entered ( which their website did nothing to highlight ).
Instead, they just charged me a {$20.00} " Returned - NSF - Unable to locate account '' fee when they were not able to complete with automatic debit from my bank account. I subsequently opened a customer service case with Provident Funding, asking that the fee be waived. They declined, saying " Due to the high level of scrutiny banks and lenders face, we are left with no latitude to make exceptions and we want to ensure we have a fair application of policy relating to waiving of returned payment fees. '' I rejected their resolution and reopened the support case, noting that it was ridiculous that they would not have charged me if I had done absolutely nothing and made no attempt to pay them ( but did charge me a fee because I did and there was some issue with the info that I entered in their website -- even though their system had no features to try to note that before charging me a fee ). They then closed the support case a second time, saying again that they " can not make any exceptions to our policy of the {$20.00} returned payment fee. '' Obviously, a {$20.00} fee is n't a whole lot compared to a monthly mortgage payment. However, I am severely disappointed to be stuck having my mortgage owned by a company that does not agree that it is ridiculous to penalize a customer for trying to pay them, when they would not have penalized them for making no such attempt. 

Since they purchased my existing mortgage, I had no choice in being a Provident Funding customer. For others that do have a choice, I strongly suggest that you take your business elsewhere.

Company: Accurate Background
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have applied to several positions for work and on three separate occasions, the reports came back with INCORRECT information that belonged to another individual, but were associated with me. This occurred twice with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX and once with Accurate Background XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX. All three times it was the same information that appeared and I appealed each incident. I did not hear back from Accurate Background. I do not feel confident that they will correct this error, even with the information I gave them. I feel this incident will fall by the wayside again and my reputation and background will look much worse and jeopardize any potential future employment opportunities that I may have. The person that I am being associated with is named " XXXX XXXX '' and on the records the notes say that his middle name was taken down as " XXXX ''. That is not my middle name, nor is XXXX my last name. The incidents that occurred all took place in XXXX, IL. I have never lived in XXXX, IL or been arrested there ever in my life. My residential history will also confirm this and will conflict with the reported dates of the charges associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I asked my husband to make a payment to my Wells Fargo personal line of credit. I gave him {$260.00} dollars to do so. My husband is not a joint account holder. He went to the Wells Fargo branch located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX. He gave my account number to the teller advised her he wanted to make a payment for {$260.00}, which she refused. The teller proceeded to tell my husband thats the amount due to bring the account current was {$390.00}. My husband was not aware the line of credit was past due. Not only was that information innacurate but she made my husband aware of the delinquent status of my account. This is unacceptable. I have that right to privacy. This created an argument in my household that could have been avoided had my privacy been respected.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted the exact same dispute to both Experian and XXXX, regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

Both credit reporting agency websites rejected the documents I tried to upload so I mailed them via USPS certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. I sent the same exact documents to both credit reporting agencies, and copies to XXXX at the same time. ( I had previously complained directly to XXXX ). 

XXXX sent me a notice dated XX/XX/XXXX that they had investigated my dispute and had DELETED both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. 

Experian however, notified me on XX/XX/XXXX that they " reviewed the documentation I provided with my dispute, but have determined that we are not able to use it to make the changes or deletions you requested. We are contacting the furnisher of the information or the vendor who collected the information from a public record source. '' I received a notice dated XX/XX/XXXX that Experian " updated '' the information in my report. The cover page of their notice states " OTHER ITEMS DISPUTED ARE NOT CURRENTLY DISPLAYING ON YOUR PERSONAL CREDIT REPORT ''. While I do not see XXXX XXXX displaying on the report, there is no indication in the report that they have actually deleted any information from my credit file. This seems to be a misleading statement intended to lead me to believe the information was deleted when it in fact is just not printed. 

Also, Experian explicitly stated that it " updated '' the XXXX account, but the information is not materially different to what they had before, which is still FALSE information. 

It is my understanding that if one credit reporting agency receives credible information that results in deleting accounts, then that credit reporting agency has procedures in place to notify other credit reporting agencies as well as the furnisher.
