Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
I called about an unauthorized charge. I was told that they had to cancel my card which I was not happy about and did not want to happen. Ive been called back to acquire my new card information because they told me they would provide me that over the phone but I was with a patient had to get off the phone and called them back. When I called them back Ive identified myself by jumping through their mini hoops they provided me my card number and my expiration date and then hung up on me. I called back because they had hung up on me and had not provided me with a three digit security code and I was then told I would not be getting it and I would need to wait 10 days for my car to arrive because I was being either forced to set up a digital wallet. That is not my financial choice, I do not want to digital wallet they need to provide me my data. I essentially was told that I can only have my financial information if I set up a digital valet which is extortion. It is extortion to see you can have your card information issue set up an account with this or that service. This is a conflict of interest and none of their business.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I was affected my COVID-19 severely and wrote to credit acceptance to request that they remove the late payments off my credit report due to me becoming unemployed. They never responded to me nor wrote me back. While reviewing my credit files I discovered that they just put comments on my report " affected by natural disaster ''. Which doesn't help me all, but yet they still reported my late payments. Then they created a program where they would not report payments to the credit bureaus but yet still reported late payments on my credit file. This company is very deceiving and destroyed my credit. 

Also I contacted the bank recently to voluntary surrender the vehicle they stated they already had a repossession order out for the vehicle almost a month before I called. But stated that it will be reported as a regular repo on my credit. And also failed to contact me in regards to that. XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I'm a victim of identity theft. I've been attempting to recover the damage and resolve the issues on my credit report by calling, faxing, and uploading the required documentations to the bureaus as requested by their agents. Even after disputing these fraudulent accounts with these bureaus and the creditors for well over a year, the creditors have constantly ignored all requests for proofs used to validate these fraudulent accounts on my file and yet the creditors keep validating fraudulent information and accounts on my credit report without proofs. The bureaus have been notified of this and yet the creditors are freely allowed to report fraud information without any consequences for violating the federal law and my FCRA rights.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
I was in an XXXX Retail store on XX/XX/XXXX and during checkout I was told I could apply for an instore credit card and receive 20 % off my first purchase. I was not immediately approved and was told it had to go to secondary review. Roughly a month later, I received my card in the mail with promotional material advising that I would get 20 % off my first purchase. I made my first purchase on XX/XX/XXXX. During checkout, I said this is my first purchase, please make sure I get my 20 % discount. The store clerk advised they could not apply that discount for me and that I would need to call customer service for a code. I called customer service and was advised to go ahead and make the purchase and it would automatically be credited on my statement. I proceeded with the {$960.00} transaction. Then, I never received my first statement. I started receiving text messages and phone calls. I called right away and questioned my discount and now the assessment of late fees and finance charges. The phone representative said I needed to use a code in the store in order to get the 20 % off and that I should have received it by mail ... I paid my purchase balance in full and I was under the impression they removed the fees. This was not the case. Only a partial credit was provided and now there is an additional late fee and finance charge on my account. They have refused to remove the fees and have only issued a dispute on my initial purchase as of today, XX/XX/XXXX to get my 20 % off.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, my spouse and I both received certified letters from Huntington National Bank that our mortgage was nearing foreclosure. Having no knowledge of an account with Huntington, the only way to discern that this might be real rather than junk mail/a scam was the certified mail postage stamp on the envelopes. 
After a XXXX search, I learned that XXXX XXXX  were recently sold to Huntington, and inferred that maybe our HELOC loan was one of them. 

My spouse called the XXXX number on Huntington 's letter the following morning ( XXXX ), paid the full amount, and is in the required paper-and-pen process with Huntington to set up automated payments. Huntington informed us that they have dinged our credit marks for the five months that they were unknowingly our lender. 

Prior to XXXX, we did not receive any communication from XXXX nor Chemical Bank who were processing our HELOC loan payments. Additionally, we had automated payments setup on our account which were not migrated to Huntington Bank. 

As such, we are disputing any negative credit mark that has been assigned to our credit reports during this period with an expectation that they are resolved in a timely manner. 

Thank you.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC

Complaint narrative:
The creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX University, has contacted me repeatedly throughout XXXX attempting to collect a debt they allege I owe. I resigned from their organization in XXXX of XXXX. I responded to every email with a request for an itemized bill of my " outstanding balance '' but was never once received a response. My last contact with them directly was XXXX of XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collections notice from TSI systems stating I owe {$190.00}. I later received what I believe is supposed to be a Notice of Debt from TSI, but it did not include any itemized or detailed information about the debt in question. It listed the account number and amount due but no further details. I believe the pursuit of debt in question is invalid on the basis of never receiving a requested bill in the first place, but it is my perception that TSI has violated the new regulations under the FDCPA.

Hello I need assistance with an account that is reporting incorrectly on my credit, this account is reporting as a paid collection when in fact it isn't a collection and never was.. I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX  that was opened in XXXX in which payment history was great, well I went on XXXX in early XXXX and called to let them know and was told that I would have no payments while I was out of the country, I got back in XXXX of XXXX, called to let them know that I was back in the states and the very next month, I received a credit alert saying that a new collection was added to my credit in which it was from XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Well in XXXX I really started to research how to go about fixing my credit and I ended up contacting XXXX XXXX XXXX in which I spoke with 2 people, stated my case, they looked into it and verified that I was in fact correct and they told me that they would get it updated for me with all 3 credit bureaus as ''Paid In Full and Paid as Agreed, I was told that it would take 30-45 days to reflect and that was in XXXX of XXXX till this day the account still hasn't been updated and I'm extremely frustrated by it.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have setup automatic payments with American Express for several months. I do this in order to 1 ) pay off the full balance my credit card every month and 2 ) avoid interest charges. 

For my statement ending on XXXX, my automatic payment of {$6200.00} was processed via auto pay XXXX. I was under the impression that this would prevent me from being charged interest afterward. However, I was assessed an interest charge of {$280.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called American Express to try to fix this issue and they were of no help. They essentially told me they can not guarantee interest will not be charged after an autopay is made. 

This practice does not seem fair to me as a consumer. If paying off the full balance by the due date does not prevent interest charges, what does?
