Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I traveled to XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX and had to obtain hotel lodging arrangements.. I had minor XXXX. Due to my monthly finances, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX waived all my XXXX finances. I received a letter indicating the same. They advised me to tell that to Grant & Weber, however, Grant & Weber choose to STILL XXXX me and call and XXXX me more. It has been ridiculous! 

I told them to obtain the information from the hospital, although my word should have been sufficient. Further, to make matters worse, they have placed this on my credit report that I owe XXXX XXXX XXXX entities. This is a lie and false and they know it. I recently emailed the billing dept at XXXX XXXX ( a copy of the email is attached ) and they reconfirmed this billing matter is waived and I have a XXXX balance with them due to financial assistance. 

Grant & Weber are dishonest and love XXXX people. THEY NEED TO REMOVE THIS INFORMATION FROM MY CREDIT REPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX in XXXX, FL during XXXX of XXXX for transportation to work. Due to credit issues in the past, I was aware my interest rate would be higher, however I currently believe I was the victim of a predatory auto loan. Upon purchase, I was made aware I was on a 72 month loan, with bi-weekly payments of XXXX and annual percentage rate of 25.072 %. Total amount financed was XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX I realized Ive paid XXXX in addition to my XXXX down payment, yet my loan balance has only reduced to XXXX - meaning I have paid XXXX in interest alone, in the last 7 months. Certain this was an error, I contacted Bridgecrest- and was informed my interest was daily compounding. The representative essentially agreed this was a predatory loan - and unless you work there youd realistically have no idea how these loans actually work. Upon reading my contract it does state daily simple interest however this was never explained to me in simple-to-understand terms and I feel the dealership and Bridgecrest prey on individuals in desperate situations. I then researched Florida State Law and saw the max interest on a car loan is 18 %, further confirming my suspicion this was a predatory auto loan. I inquired on this and was told to call their legal department. Upon calling their legal department I was laughed at and told I should have paid better attention at the time of purchase. Astonished by this reply, I am moving forward with a formal complaint. Attached is my conversation with Bridgecrest via chat.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I had two credit cards with Bank of America. One with a {$70000.00} credit limit and one with an {$11000.00} credit limit. I called them to request one consolidated card with a credit limit of {$81000.00}. 

They closed the smaller limit card and declined to increase larger account credit card limit by {$11000.00} - or at all. 

This is why people hate banks and why Senator XXXX XXXX helped create the CFPB. There was no increase in the credit exposure to BAC. They just chose to be very consumer unfriendly. 

If BAC doesn't correct this, I will I be taking this issue to the Rhode Island Attorney General Consumer Complaint division. The same people who had XXXX settle for $ XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a complaint with cfpb ( complaint # XXXX & # XXXX ) regarding an unauthorized credit inquiry from multiple finance companies at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX CA. On XX/XX/XXXX, they ran my credit without my permission, and I was not there to purchase a vehicle nor co-signing for anyone. I was with a family member, XXXX XXXX, who had a pre-approval letter from his personal bank, XXXX XXXX, which was presented to the salesman and was verified by his finance manager. The salesman said they needed a contact person 's information for backup. So, I gave him my ID. He and his manager took it upon themselves to run my credit as if I was going to co-sign for my son. All this happened on XX/XX/XXXX. The salesman brought back re- written contract with a higher interest rate of 15 % and $ 900 monthly payments. I immediately told my son not to sign that paper. We told the salesman what he did, and we excused ourselves and left. At least a week later, I decided to check my credit report, as I do on a regular basis, and noticed that I had XXXX hard inquiries. I was devastated. Once I figured out what had happened, I contacted the dealership, and they told me they could do nothing and it will come off in 2 years. They missed the whole point. I never applied for credit with any of them, and they definitely did not have my permission to do so. l never filled out anybody 's credit application nor did I sign anything. XXXX of the XXXX finance companies who unlawfully ran my credit without permission were XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX are still on my credit report. The action has tainted my credit in a negative way. 15 U.S.C. 604 A section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 USC 1681 states that in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these creditors have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality. See my son, XXXX XXXX 's approval letter attached.
