Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Regarding reporting to the credit bureaus, this is very disturbing to me that when I called to get information about my accounts to Wells Fargo in XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured that there would be no reporting of any negative actions until around early XX/XX/XXXX or after, if my account was not made up to date ; however, when I looked into my credit reports Wells Fargo already started reporting to XXXX and XXXX that my account was past due 30 days on XX/XX/XXXX, which is much earlier than what I was informed it would be reported. The information was reported early to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX should have also stopped reporting by XX/XX/XXXX, yet they continue to excessively report it at 120 days 3xs this excess reporting needs to be removed from the account immediately. 
Additionally, another alarming detail is that although my account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, which I was informed after the fact, then why was there additional reporting to the credit bureaus that my account was late after it was closed ; why? my account should have been reported as closed and reporting should have stopped ; yet my account was reported late for 6 months including 2 months of reporting before it was supposed to be reported as late and an additional 4 months after it was supposed to be closed. 
This early and unnecessary reporting has caused damage and rapid decline to my credit score. 
Please remove these excess reporting by Wells Fargo and the Credit Bureaus off of my credit report. 
Please correct this matter to all three credit bureaus immediately and correct reporting to credit bureaus by erasing reports before and after XX/XX/XXXX, which is when the account was supposedly " closed. '' I have brought up other issues with this credit card account with Wells Fargo, previously.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In 2017, Discover Cards started airing a promotion and still have a promotion on its Discover IT card, that states no late fee charged if a payment is missed. I saw this on the TV and called to confirmed the advertisement with a Customer Service representative that confirmed that it advertisement was accurate. I asked if this I could use it and it was affirmed that I could. I soon learnt the hard way that their advertisement was not accurate. Following using the purported information of the advertised promotion but line of credit was decreased. Immediately I called to inquire why my credit was reduced and I was told that it was due to missed payments. 
You see I have been a customer for over 17 years. For the past 5 years, I have been paying down my balance on the card. With a credit line of XXXX, my balance in 2017 was about {$6500.00} which I was looking to pay down. I was dismayed when I realized that they not only decreased by card from {$16000.00} to {$6500.00}. Following the decreased Discover card, representative started contacting me that my balance was close to my credit limit. What were they expecting? When an organization reduces a customer 's line of credit to a few hundreds close to what they owe obviously the balance due would be close to the available line of credit until the balance is paid down. 
I am requesting your assistance to have Discover Cards stop its false misrepresentation/ false advertising as it is not exactly what it confirmed to the customers. Also, Discover Ad is misleading and once a customer uses their deceptive ad they are charged late fees contrary to what the customer was made to understand would be the outcome. 
In addition, I am requesting that all the late fee charge be reversed. And, I should be put in a position I would have been should I have not used this promotion that stated no fee charge for missed payment. 

I can be contacted on at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Thanks for your immediate assistant.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
1. Although I have along with my complaint, asked of XXXX to remove and stop billing me for the property taxes, it refused to. Instead, it instructs me to send a letter requesting the removal of the escrow account. I do not need them to remove the escrow account, because other fees may apply to it. My request is for Ocwen to stop billing me for my property taxes and to refund the amount it has billed and received. I will pay my taxes on my own. Ocwen overbills my account and always has more that was is owed to the tax collector in my account. Ocwen should not be earning interest on my money. 

2. I was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX that I had a Ballon payment. Therefore, I began to pay extra money toward the Balloon amount. I asked Ocwen to tell me if the Balloon amount is the same as Deferred amount but it never responded to that question. If the Deferred amount is not the Balloon payment, I want all extra payments made toward the principal, to be credited to the Balloon Payment that is due at the end of the loan period. 

3. Ocwen claims that on XXXX XXXX, 2017, it refunded {$680.00} but never provide me with a canceled check nor did it include interest earned for the said refund.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX. The person on the phone said I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX debt of {$890.00} dollars and the card was associated with XXXX XXXX, my employer. I used my XXXX card for making travel reservations to XXXX XXXX prior to XX/XX/XXXX. The card was issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I went on XXXX XXXX leave on XX/XX/XXXX due to a personal injury I suffered on that day. I cancelled the reservations within 10 days of my injury to avoid paying any penalties for not using the services paid for with the XXXX card. Sometime after my injury, my employer switched from XXXX XXXX XXXX to another issuer, who I guess is XXXX XXXX. I never opened an account with the new issuer since I was on XXXX  leave and told by my employer to not engage in any employee related work efforts. Hence, I never knew of any charges to the AMEX card. 
When Credit collection Services called me about a debt for {$890.00}, I was mystified about it. I told them I would check into it. I checked my last known XXXX account, from XXXX XXXX XXXX, I owe them nothing. I think this charge of {$890.00} is a false charge.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX 2016 to XXXX 2016, I was having trouble paying back my loans at the amount set forth. I was making under poverty wage and had a dependent. They told me that the only option would be forbearance, and that I would have to keep calling every 3 months to do it. I requested to speak to a manager, and after multiple dropped phone calls saying that there was no other options, and that they do not lower interest or payments, they finally put me through to a manager. They set me up on a plan that lowers my monthly payment by {$100.00}. What I did not know was they increased my repayment time by 8 years and increased my interest rate. After it being 18 months, my auto payments dropped, so I found all this out by going in to the website and discovering how high my interest rate was, and that my plan had not extended by the 3 years I thought ( to make it an 8 year loan ), but actually increased 8 years. After reading, and experiencing from XXXX XXXX, how they decreased my interest rate to make my loans affordable, I believe that XXXX was untruthful and has caused me to pay way more, when they should have had options like XXXX or XXXX  ( which I have loans through both ). I am able now to make more then my loan payment, but am looking at all the money I feel like they tricked me out of money through false statements and pushing me into the 'only option they have ' for repayment.

Complaint narrative:
Hey, I was traveling overseas last year, and wanted to rent a car, so I decided to use one of the benefits that my XXXX Credit card offer, which is insurance coverage, and this is the reason I applied for this card. 
The way they advertise it is " Decline the rental company 's collission isurance and charge the entire rental cost to your card ''. 

So I rented a car on XXXX XXXX 2017 for {$150.00}, and when I went to pick up the rental car from the airport, the rental car company refused to accept the XXXX Credit card and wanted to charge me {$400.00} more on the top of the amount I paid, so I canceled the rent, and now the rental car refusing to take responsibility of misleading info on their advertising, and wo n't refund the money back to me. 
I talked to the benifit office of the XXXX Credit Card offered by Chase, and thei answer was that they ca n't help, they follow the policy of Chase, and when I called Chase, their supervisor said they ca n't refund the miney. 
What I 'm asking for is the redund of {$150.00} since I did n't lease the car, because their card is not acceptable like they advertise.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 we purchased a neon sign from XXXX for the amount of {$510.00}. On the next billing cycle we noticed an additional charge for the amount of {$260.00}. We then contacted the credit card company to dispute it. We were credited the {$260.00} in full. In XX/XX/XXXX we received a letter from Capital One stating that XXXX had submitted receipts showing that we made the purchase and the credit to our account was deducted a second time. The receipt is for a person with a billing and shipping address that we are unfamiliar with. I then called Capital One to resolve the issue and was told they needed me to send a letter stating my claim along with a copy of my credit card statement. With some resistance they emailed me a secure link to upload this information. The other company involved called us and asked us to drop the dispute telling us it would take 60 days for them to credit our account. We declined the offer expecting our credit card company could n't possibly charge us for something we obviously did n't purchase. Several weeks later we received another letter from Capital One saying we did not provide the requested information and they were considering our case closed.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving bad information about a set of student loans that are being serviced at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Four years of payments that I have made to XXXX XXXX XXXX have been incorrectly applied. Therefore, the more that {$5000.00} in payments that I have made during this period have not gone towards my loans. This misappropriation of funds has brought down my credit score from the 800s to the low 600s. This problem with XXXX  XXXX XXXX has directly led to the drop in credit score and is preventing me from consolidating the loans with an private company. 

I obtained proof from XXXX XXXX XXXX that the money was received by XXXX  XXXX XXXX, in what was called a XXXX document. It has taken more than 2 months for the company to solve this problem and I call every week in to attempt to solve it, but am still unable to do that.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I availed of the Secured Card service from Bank of America Financial Center at XXXX, Connecticut. Their branch address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CT XXXX XXXX Its a Debit Card which required me to deposit XXXXUSD of which i believe XXXXUSD has been set as the credit limit and XXXX USD as security deposit. 

Me and my daugther came back to the US on XXXX XXXX, 2014. i first experienced the issue of not being able to use my card and the online banking days after we arrived. After experiencing more of it i started to call them and made several calls to their costumer service hotline to inquire about about the problem, but the service representative 's answer is that they are not authorized to handle the problem. So i went to the branch where i opened the account and asked them for the reason behind the issue i was experiencing but they told me that only the credit department can resolve this. I made several successful calls with their credit department but they too could not explain why i could n't use my card and online account. It took several months until i finally decided to close the account. I remembered being refunded my security deposit. 

A couple of weeks later i saw a zero deposit promo from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX if you open a savings account with them. So i met with one of their account managers, as one of their requirement they told me that they have to run my credit history. so i agreed. This is the very reason for my complaint - the credit history contained a report from BOA - " Gross Abuse of the account " and that it says that i have a balance of 200 something. Right after i saw the report and being denied of the service, i went to the nearest BOA branch in XXXX CT. I asked them if they can check their system if i have an outstanding balance, the teller check but she could n't find my account since i already closed it weeks before. I was hoping to get a collection notice from BOA but not a single one came and yet everytime i call their hotline they always say that they ca n't handle it since i no longer have an account with them. It is because of this report that i was not able to open any account from any banking institution since 2014. Until this time no one from back of america can answer me why i have that comment in my credit report. I should n't even have any balance since it was a debit card, and i why was i refunded of my deposit if i had an outstanding balance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal complaint against XXXX. They have repeatedly violated my rights and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Despite the proof that I 've sent to them, they continuereporting inaccurate and unverifiable derogatory information about me to potential creditors. 
For one, I have requested re-investigation and verification of items which they are reporting in my file. They claim to have verified these accounts but it 's all electronic and therefore, they never even speak with anyone to conduct a reasonable investigation as mandated by law. 

For two, there are three accounts, in particular which they just refuse to investigate ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX & XXXX XXXX ), yet they turn around and tell me that these accounts were verified by the Creditor. However, I 've contacted the creditors and they have no record of a dispute verification request from this or any other agency regarding an account for me. 

For three, I 've actually disputed with XXXX XXXX several timesdirectly who simply refuses to validate the debt they claim I owe as requested per the FDCPA. I 'm even in dispute with them via the Better Business Bureau. And I 've sent every piece of proof that both XXXX  and TransUnioncould possibly need to correct this erroneous information on my credit report yet they refuse to do so. 

That being said, I feel as though I am being fraudulently attacked by these credit reporting agencies and I also feel as though they are supporting the reporting of erroneous information on my credit files becausethey continue to report erroneousaccounts on my credit report that should not be there and refusing to adhere to my rights of a reasonable re-investigation and proper verification of this account. Not to mention the fact that they 're simply ignoring theproof that I 've sent them.
