Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
PNC Checking and PNC Core Visa for Overdraft Protection are running online scams. Just recently, the checking account {$400.00} Friday transfer began pushing into Tues or Weds of the next week. This in turn may afford you to think you had more money on the weekend, then an auto Billpay or something comes through causing havoc for a few days until realizing they are holding transfer money for too long and loss of interest income on the transfer for up to 5 days. Given local transfer, it should be there in one day. I have documentation on this.

PNC Core Visa is entirely set up online ( and the application has some hefty deceptions ), including : 1 ) use this card for cash advance, pay it off, but PNC keeps the running Balance Subject to Interest rate after paid off and charges a " Minimum Interest Charge '' 2 ) Use it for Purchases at the same time, then try to Payoff the Purchase Balance, and they make you pay off the 0 % Promotional Balance first. 3 ) Lastly, they do not allow online dispute and do not answer mailed disputes. ( Then you have to pay the higher rate of interest, because maybe you cant pay off both types of balances ... ) This is very deceptive and in the small writing Im sure.

Thank you,

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I was told by XXXX that I would have a monthly payment of {$84.00} after trying for a month to get them to put me on an income based repayment plan. The lady helping me asked what I needed my payment to be at after I had given her my financial information and I replied stating the payment needed to be under {$100.00}. I was told I would receive my new payment within a week, but it took them a month and I just received a message on my account that my payment was put at {$130.00} for the next 12 months. I feel this isnt right because I was quoted what my payment would be and now it is applied to my account that I will repay an amount that I communicated to them that I can not repay.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing as a victim of the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX security breach. I have been attempting to validate suspicious activity on my credit report since the breach in which my contact and personal info were leaked. In the process of doing this, I submitted two requests for debt validation ( first on XX/XX/XXXX and second on XX/XX/XXXX ) to the Portfolio Recovery Associates Group and requested they only contact me by mail. I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX from PRA at ( XXXX ) XXXX and the representative informed me the documents I requested were mailed to an address that I confirmed is not mine. It upsets me to know my personal and private information have been shared due to improper validation of this debt and Im sure it is unlawful for the collection agency to share consumer information in such a way. Furthermore after speaking with the original creditor, it was brought to my attention this debt has been misrepresented. In violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the collection agency has added charges and fees to the account and is falsely reporting new account activity such as payment delinquency. Also, in respect to Section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, furnishers must note delinquency within 90 days, list the same date of delinquency as the original creditor and notify consumers of negative listings within 30 days of reporting. All of these statues have been violated by PRA Group regarding this account and furthermore I received another call from them on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX from ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have submitted this complaint in attempts to have this debt verified and this account investigated.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sirs : I would like to bring before you a situation with my local bank Chase JP Morgan, Contact inf : Chase by mail XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Kentucky XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received some type of a pop up while I was surfing the internet. It suggested that I qualified for a free watch. The only thing that I would be responsible was for the shipping and handling which was said to be XXXX. I placed my order, there was no indication on the website that I would be bound to any contracts, agreements or memberships. To my surprise on XX/XX/XXXX, there was a debit done on my account without my permission for the amount of XXXX and a service fee from my bank for XXXX was also applied. I immediately contacted my bank and informed them I had not consented to that transaction. The following day I called the bank to open an investigation. They agreed to apply a provisional credit to my account while the matter was investigated. What the person that attended to my call stated was that this was a scam and that they see it happen a lot. I asked them to protect my rights as a client, but they said they see it happen a lot and the customer has to agree with the company to pay something or else they have to pay the entire balance. I contacted the vendor and informed them of what was happening. They refused to help me and as the Chase representative suggested they wanted me to agree to accept a membership. I refused and I ordered them to cancel any subscriptions because I had not consented to such transactions. Please view supporting documents and you will find that on XX/XX/XXXX my bank removed the provisional credit and charged my account as well as a XXXX overdraft fee. I had already informed my bank that the initial transaction was fraudulent in its nature.

Complaint narrative:
For a savings account promotion, the bonus requirement is tiered like this : deposit 20,000+ dollars and maintain 60 days you get XXXX dollars credit ( deposit 5,000~XXXX for the same time, you get XXXX ; 10,000~XXXX, you get XXXX ; 20,000~XXXX, you get XXXX ; 50,000+, you get XXXX ). I met the bonus requirement and received their mailed congrats letter saying " Your {$100.00} bonus has been deposited ''. The correct amount should be {$200.00}, instead. 

I made several phone calls to escalate the issue and ask their preferred customer team and marketing team to research into this. They have checked my account and agreed with me over phone that I am eligible for the {$200.00}. They have created two case numbers : the newer is XXXX. 

The original reference number on the bottom of the letter they sent to me is : XXXX. 

I spent almost 3 hours in total talking to them over the phone. What surprised me is they just created a case and then no follow-up. Now I have to spend another half an hour to escalate on CFPB. 

There seems some glitch with their ( Bank of America 's ) bonus tracking system. We've seen many complaints about bonus not tracked correctly for their various promotions on CFPB. It's time for their IT team to fix this and save customers ' time.

I filled a dispute with Transunion. My dispute was filled on XX/XX/XXXX and I still have not heard a response. Can you please help me resolve this issue and get this inaccurate late charge lifted from my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I opened an American Express account XX/XX/2017 and it was connected to the XXXX program. I have been using the card and making my payments on time each month. This month I went to make a payment and in bold red letters across the top it stated ACCOUNT IS CLOSED. There was no explanation. I called and was told they discontinued the XXXX card. I spoke with a rep and a manager. They will not transfer my account in good standing to a different type of AE card. They offered for me to just reapply if I want to stay with AE. Their actions are going to negatively affect my credit score act across the board. They told me they decided the XXXX program was not working for them - not enough interest. I asked why there wasn ' t any notice and they told they sent one in XX/XX/XXXX. They mailed it to an address in the XXXX after I called and explained that we were staying somewhere else temporarily and gave them a new address. If an account is in good standing, it should be transferred to a new AE card. Consumers should not be negatively affected by a credit card companies actions.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my bank account as i normally do every other day, and i noticed that had a a fraudulent transaction. Someone in California hacked my debit card and make 3 purchases of {$3000.00} each. I called immediately to my bank to make a claim and dispute the charges. In the process, one of the customers services representative explained to me, that because it was a big significant amount, 2 of the 3 transaction was not going to go through. And that they were making a claim for only {$3000.00} out of the {$9000.00}. When i made the claim, the bank issued me a new debit card, they gave me a new user name and password for my bank mobile app, and they also ask me for a secret password in case something like this happened again, they could verify my identity. In result of this situation, I also called all the creditors unions, such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX to request a security alert. Two weeks after the incident, on XX/XX/XXXX, when i checked my bank account once more, I noticed that Bank of America did charge the {$6000.00} that they said were not going through on the weeks prior. I called again to my financial institute to dispute the charges that I originally try to dispute on XX/XX/XXXX. When I reached out to them after waiting their 10 days of verification and processing, another representative told me that the money was going back to my account on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, i called to check the status of the money once again, and this time another associate told me that BANK OF AMERICA has denied my dispute due an insufficient urgency from part. That same day I went to the closest branch around my neighborhood. In person and with a help of the branch manager, I made a written complain, explaining the situation above. This complaint was fax to the Bank of America debit card operation. And even though they promised to expedite my case file, still today they have not giving me a clear respond about my money. Its been over a month and so since this unfortunate event, i have been call bank of america at least 60 time these past weeks, and I have been told from their customers services departments many different outcomes. I do not understand what they meant about me not having an urgency regarding the situation, when i followed all the steps they asked me to. I have evidence of my calls, of the bank sending me plenty of secure codes and emails from their part advising what to do in cases like this. Its evident that I did have an urgency since day one.
