Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a credit card pre-approval letter from capitalone and I applied for a credit card since my credit score from all 3 credit bureaus and pretty high and over 750.  Also my annual income is XXXX and have a Capitalone 360 acct with $ XXXX balance. To my dismay they rejected my application and sending me over to XXXX web site to improve my credit. Since I have good credit and good income and XXXX balance in savings acct at Capial one 360 for last 6 months I dont see any reason that they should reject my application.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  credit card issued by XXXX XXXX. New card was taken out in XX/XX/XXXX and used for purchases. Invoice received in XX/XX/XXXX and paid but I used wrong XXXX XXXX/Synchrony account from my online bill pay service. Received next invoice in XX/XX/XXXX and paid again to wrong account.

Making payments to wrong account was 100 % my fault.

I realized in late XX/XX/XXXX that payments were being made incorrectly. I called XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX and explained situation and asked that funds get transferred from old dormant account to new account and late fee be removed. Was assured that this would be done within 7-10 business days. Total money paid exceeded amount due.

Called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that the transfer request was submitted incorrectly and would be resubmitted and I should call back in a few days to ensure it was being done.

Called back on XX/XX/XXXXand was told no transfer had been requested and would be requested again. This was an hour long phone call speaking with reps in XXXX  and the U.S. as well as a supervisor in the U.S.

On XX/XX/XXXX received collection notice email and new late fee assessed to account.

Called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that transferring money takes time and that there is nothing else they can do and I have to just wait. Was unable to speak with anyone other than customer service rep who is only authorized to submit funds transfer request. Was not allowed to speak with anyone in department who is actually capable and responsible for transferring funds.

I am 21 days into a simple request to have funds transferred from one account to another. Funds that Syncrhony is holding exceeds amount due on account.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I seldom use phone to contact them, but the few time I did, the agents were not that friendly. Very curt and were not open to explanation or clarification. I did speak with someone a month ago who was a little better. I am very tired of the inaccuracies in how they deal with the PSLF process. I also do not feel that I have been given the total information about process when I spoke with agents. My Employer Certification form has been submitted several times and the dates have been changed to make it more difficult for me. I feel like I am sending documents all the time. They change the dates and I feel that there is error in processing, and change in dates are a problem. I just sent them an email and I have not received a response as yet. I feel that they are giving incorrect information and I am sending in UN-necessary documents due to their error in processing. Sometimes they respond to my email in a timely manner, but not all the time. I prefer to send email as I have everything in writing. I just sent a frustrated email to them XX/XX/18.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Citi sent a promotional e-mail for my XXXX XXXX XXXX card on XX/XX/XXXX with a subject line of " Don't forget, XXXX, starting next month you'll earn more at restaurants and gas stations ''. I did not read the e-mail and deleted as I don't typically read promotional e-mails. 

On XX/XX/XXXX Citi sent a second e-mail which stated " Corrected subject line : Don't forget, XXXX, starting XX/XX/XXXX, you'll earn more at restaurants and gas stations ''. When I saw " corrected subject line '', I decided to open the e-mail and see what the e-mail was in regards to. There are two pictures and three paragraphs which refer to earning 2xs miles at restaurants and gas stations and a {$100.00} flight discount, among other things. Some of the text is bolded and some information was included in large red boxes. However, when you scroll to the end of the message, in the very last paragraph, with text that is NOT bolded or in a red highlighted box, they disclose the annual fee will be increasing. 

This seems like the definition of deceptive. The increased fee should not be buried in the bottom of a promotional e-mail after the new benefits are highlighted, which is not in the same font/size as the promotional information, and the subject line does not reference the fee.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I pay my XXXX XXXX  credit card balance down to {$0.00} as frequently as possible. 
On XX/XX/18, I attempted to use the credit card at a local restaurant and it was declined. I called XXXX XXXX, and they explained that because I was making payments " too frequently '' a hold had been placed on my entire credit limit until all of the pending payments had cleared from my checking account bank. The current balance ( and corresponding pending payment ) was less than {$100.00} at the time, and there should have been over {$15000.00} in available credit. 
I called back on XX/XX/18, and the supervisor indicated that there was no evidence on my account of a hold, and could not reference a policy that would authorize a complete freeze on my line of credit pending the payments being posted when I asked for a copy of that policy.

Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/2018 a letter was received by your offices stating that you were representing a client named XXXX XXXX the letter further stated that an amount was owed. A letter was sent by my office via certified mail and within the 30 day time frame outlined by FDCPA. In the letter that was sent your office, it was clearly outlined that this debt was in dispute and outlined what was needed by your offices to validate this debt which included a copy of the Legal instrument that was used that binds Mrs. XXXX to the disputed agreement and the disputed amount. It was also requested that your office provide detail accounting information to show how your client arrived at the disputed amount. Unfortunately the only thing that was provided by your office was a very questionable photo copy of a statement. Another certified letter was sent to your office on or around XX/XX/2018 questioning the photo copy of the document provided to my office and once again asking you and your client to please provide additional documents along with the original documents requested to validate this debt. In both letters it was also very clearly stated that if your office proceeded to reported disputed and inaccurate derogatory information to any of the credit report agencies, civil legal action would proceed without hesitation. As of XX/XX/2018 your office has provided nothing that validates this debt and have ignored the certified requests to provide the additional information needed for my office to conducted a proper investigation into this matter.
