Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I 've had a capital one credit card for years, multiple cards, and I just noticed something that has most likely been going on the whole time, but I just realized it. From what I can tell they are charging interest based on the previous billing cycle. Last month my husband and I both paid off our balances in full. we had no new charges. the next month we both received interest charges, even though we paid our balance off in full. when I called they said that if I am not paying off my balance in full month after month I will still receive new interest charges even though I paid off my balance in full. this month on a different Cap 1 credit card my previous balance was {$1000.00} and I made the minimum payment of {$25.00}. on my new statement I was charged interest calculated on a balance of {$1000.00}, there were no new credit card charges. I believe Cap 1 is using double-cycle billing practices which is violating one of the protections of the CARD Act.  When I contacted them regarding this on X/XX/17 he assured me that they are not double-cycle billing they charge interest on an average daily balance, and that even though it looks like they are charging me interest on the higher amount ( XXXX ) that really they are not.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Navient claims there is a debt owed on the account that is due solely because of an unsubstantiated variable interest rate. When asked to review the account, Navient claimed they had the Ombudsman department do a full audit on the account, with calls regarding the alleged delinquency stopped until the resolution of the issue ; however, these action were never taken. Navient continued to call 20+ times ( excessive and abusive ) while the " investigation '' was underway. When asked to substantiate the conclusion of the report, Navient claimed there was no documentation to provide and the account was still delinquent. All requests to discuss with their Ombudsman department were denied and I was, instead redirected to a number of other departments. I have yet to receive answers or documentation from Navient, supporting their claim of an investigation regarding a past due balance.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about a disputed charge on my MasterCard with Bank of America. A company called XXXX XXXX XXXX out of Florida offered to recoup charges made from a Fraudulent law firm. Bank America credited my account for this amount on XXXX XXXX XXXX so I paid XXXX XXXX XXXX the agreed 45 % ( {$1500.00} ) on XX/XX/XXXX. A week later Bank America took those funds back saying the charge was too old and closed the case. I have been trying to get XXXX XXXX XXXX to refund my {$1500.00} since. I filed a dispute with Bank America, case # XXXX. They requested additional information which I provided on time, that at first said they got too late and then admitted they got on time but it was n't enough information. Clearly XXXX XXXX XXXX has not fulfilled the signed contract, which Bank America is in possession of, but Bank America has closed the case and will not do anything further because the vendor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, will not answer any ones calls or Emails. I have spoken with Bank America on the following dates with no solution. XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ( with XXXX and XXXX in XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX XXXX in Credit and XXXX in Texas, XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX in XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and XXXX in XXXX. As far as XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have a voice mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX in which an XXXX XXXX said he would submit a refund on that day. Never happened and I have since filed a complaint with the States Attorneys General Office in Pennsylvania and Florida and with the Better Business for XXXX Florida. I can not understand how Bank America can take this stand for this vendor over all the evidence I have submitted. They know I did not recover any funds because it was them who took the funds back. Thank you

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
OnXX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to Equifax asking that they investigate some questionable inquiries on my report. I asked for XXXX XXXX compliant ( required per their OWN definition of their XXXX XXXX ) documented results that the investigation had actually taken place - as they failed to even do the investigation previously. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX I opened my mail and received 2 letters from Equifax both dated XX/XX/XXXX. <P/>The first was a stall letter saying that inquiries are a factual record of a credit application ( NOTHING to do with what I asked or requested and was nonsense ). <P/>The second was a set of results saying the SAME THING! Worse yet? They ADMIT that investigation DID NOT TAKE PLACE. <P/>This is an intentional violation of my rights under the FCRA. <P/>I called today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) at XXXX. I was on hold for 53 minutes and told by their rep " XXXX '' that it is impossible to investigate inquiries, I was told by some foreign person that she did n't understand inquiries ( what? ), and I was transferred to a HOSTILE " supervisor '' who would only identify herself as XXXX who said she would n't do anything. <P/>To each of these people I explained what I had asked in my letter and what the responses were. Each of them gave me nonsensical silly answers. I explained a knowledge of my rights and that I work for a LAW FIRM specializing in FCRA and Credit Law - and was told by " XXXX '' that she would no longer talk to me. <P/>ALL I WANTED is my BASIC rights. EQUIFAX is a scam company clearly who has no problem doing UNETHICAL and ILLEGAL things to consumers. <P/>Best part? I told them that I would contact the CFPB. They laughed and said " the CFPB is useless! '' So, please do n't be useless.

Company: Conn's, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a claim with Conns Home Plus back in XX/XX/XXXX for my insurance to be kicked in due to me being unemployed. They stated if I made the payment of {$120.00} the insurance company would kick in and pay the rest. I did just that and I noticed in XX/XX/XXXX that my account was seriously delinquent. The insurance I purchased never kicked in to pick the payments. I had been battling this for over a year. They stated that they never received my documents but they received the payment. They agreed to settle the account at {$900.00} then went back on the agreement then wanted {$1300.00}. The insurance made 1 payment of {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. However my account has shown delinquent since XX/XX/XXXX. Its still affecting my account and on XX/XX/XXXX almost 2 years from initially applying they illegally pulled my credit again without my consent to do so. They have told me numerous of times this account would be deleted off my credit report and cleared through their insurance. This has not happened and is ruining my life. I need help in getting this resolved.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Loan care Services purchased our VA loan from XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2017. We missed 4 months of payments when Loancare took over our loan because we did not realize they purchased our loan and XXXX did not transfer the payments. We had paid our LOAN for 16 years to XXXX via bank checking account auto debit. We were never missed/late payment. Loancare contacted us via XXXX to offer a us a refinance special offer to lower our interest rates. The fine print stated our LOAN would be extended by 40 YEARS. I assumed it was a scam and ignored Loancare contact. I received notice from the Veterans Administration stating our home was at risk of foreclosure. I immediately contacted Loancare to arrange payment plan of the past due amount. I was told by the customer service rep that my choice was to pay the full amount owed or I could choose the *special offer* to refinance at a lower rate but extend our LOAN for 40 years. I was told that I would lose my house if we did n't pay the full amount OR choose the *special re-finance '' offer. Thankfully we had the money to pay the full amount of the past due payment. Please investigate Loancare for fraud and unscrupulous business practices.
