Complaint narrative:
I had been trying to applied for a citi bank credit card since last year, on Sunday XXXX XXXX XXXX I tried to applied for a credit card over the phone. And still got denied. I truly do n't understand why because I have an excellent credit score history. I called once to Citibank and all they told me was that I had too many credit card accounts open. Which is not true. I think their policy and procedures of getting a credit card with citi bank is horrible. I would like to get a more depth explanation of why I had been denied multiple times in getting a credit card? I will appreciated it

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by Chase XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with an offer for a HARP refinancing with no closing costs, no appraisal, easy process. I met all the criteria listed in their email. I was told that I had a superb credit rating. As the process went forward I was assured by the Chase representatives that my refinancing loan was approved, and we were just looking for a date I could sign the papers. Everything was in place. Then I kept being asked for more information, and more information. I was told my loan was not being approved because I have a residence in XXXX. They had always known this information and knew it at the time I was told the loan was approved. I told them that I pay state taxes in Colorado, have an address there, and vote in Colorado. Yet, six weeks later, I was still told that a senior underwriter was turning down the loan.I have included the original email. I met and continue to meet all the criteria listed in that email. It looks like they created a way to turn down the loan that was outside their stated criteria. 

I had exactly the same experience with Chase in XXXX. At that time Chase again told me that my loan was fully approved, and did n't require any documentation. The Chase mortgage representative kept being puzzled when I was asked for more information, then more information, then more information. He said that nowhere in this loan was I supposed to even be asked for that additional information. Again, the loan was turned down. 

At the very least, Chase XXXX XXXX can not be trusted to follow through on their commitments. I wasted a great deal of time and effort providing all that I was asked to provide, signing all of the forms, etc. I was told the loan was fully approved, but Chase did not honor that commitment. 

There is an additional piece of information that I would prefer NOT be included on consumerfinance.gov. Several years ago I surfaced unethical behavior on the part of a senior Chase loan officer. It 's reasonable to wonder if being asked for additional information, and finally having two loans turned down after I was assured and promised that they were approved, may be in some way be payback.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint on a related matter. However, this complaint is different. On XXXX XXXX, American Express advised that it had closed my account because I had used XXXX, while linked to American Express, to pay certain related parties. AMEX stated it was a violation of their agreement, although it was not. 

The above is by way of introduction only. Now, I have received a letter from American Express, a copy of which I am enclosing, stating that the reason that they canceled my account because I did not provide financial documentation and/or IRS information as requested. The only problem is that American Express is made no such request. 

I would hope that AMEX is held at least to a standard of behaving in an honest and forthright fashion. At this juncture, I have been provided to inconsistent reasons for the cancellation. In the first case, their document does not prohibit the conduct. In the second case, they canceled me because I did not abide by the request, which request they never made. In both cases, AMEX acted very improperly. 

I asked that American Express not be taken at face value this time around, as it is clearly promulgating inconsistent information.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This is in regards to my previous complaints. The most recent one is # XXXX. Citibank responded to my last complaint stating that they have not received my payment. I have a receipt showing that they did in fact receive my payment on XXXX XXXX, and it was received by XXXX XXXX ( see attachment ). My check was returned to me ( yet again ) on XXXX XXXX with a letter stating that they could not verify my correct account number. I checked the account number that I wrote on the check and it matches all of the documents that I have received from Citibank previously and the account number that I was using to make payments during my cosigner 's bankruptcy ( I can provide proof if this if needed ). If the account number has changed I have never been notified. Every time I call Citibank to discuss the loan they either tell me that I have a zero balance with them, or they have no record of an account with my information ( but refuse to give this to me in writing ). This makes me wonder whether or not this debt is even valid. I have made many attempts to pay this debt, but Citibank continues to make it impossible to do so. I keep getting false or misleading information about this loan from Citibank.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: AmeriCollect
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
This debt is originally from XXXX healthcare. I have asked before healthcare multiple times to correctly verify the debt. I sent them a bulleted list of the information I need to validate the debt I wanted the payments made as well as each charge. They refused to do it. All they will do is send me statements with the balances. So it got sent to XXXX XXXX and they did not correctly validated either so they removed it. Now it is with Americollect. I sent them a letter stating that I need them to validate the debt and a bulleted list telling what I need according to the fair credit reporting act. They sent me back a letter it was actually very snotty basically saying we already validated which they had not. Maybe they were referring to when XXXX did it but again, XXXX never fully did. So, I had one account with this medical facility. They report each and every visit as a separate item on the collection records to make it look worse on your reports. I had one account. One billing account. They break it down just to get you even worse. They think that they can keep sending it to all these credit companies but again, no one has fully validated the debt. It doesnt matter how many collection agencies they send it to you I have a right to see the charges, dispute charges, compare to my insurance, etc. I also have a right to see each and every payment. They seem to think theyre above the law and refuse to give me that information. They want to just send me blanket statements and not actually address what I have asked of them. I have documentation of every letter I have sent and the bottom line is they are breaking the law.
