Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have a Jet Blue XXXX serviced by Barclays for many years. Barclays sent me a new card and created a new account. I never made this request. I never received a statement. Apparently they opened this account without my authorization on XX/XX/2023. I received a letter on XX/XX/2023 stating my account was past due. Apparently, there was a {$99.00} Annual Fee on this unknown mystery card. They also charged me interest and penalties totaling {$210.00} in addition to the {$99.00}. I called immediately to protest on XX/XX/23. They said they would research. I immediately cancelled the card. They sent me a letter dated XX/XX/2023 demanding payment or they would put an unpaid charge off on my credit report. I made another phone call on XX/XX/2023. They denied my claim to reverse the charges. 

I paid the amount in full on this unknown account under threat of damaging my credit. I never knowingly made a charge. I am requesting a full refund from Barclays in the amount of {$310.00}. Their phone # is XXXX.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
First problem- on XX/XX/23, made initial payment of {$750.00} to eliminate all interest accrued at that point in time so that the next payment I would be making a few minutes later would go entirely to principal. That payment does not appear in my payment history, but I do have the payment confirmation number saved in my email. 
Second problem- when I called to point out the first problem ( I spoke to XXXX on XX/XX/23, call began around XXXX XXXX and ended around XXXX XXXX ), it was over a two hour wait to get someone on the phone. The person I spoke to was dismissive because even though the payment wasn't visible to me in my history, " it showed on [ Nelnet 's ] side. '' Then it was a 10 minute process of getting the representative to understand that none of my second payment should have gone to interest since that was the entire purpose of the first payment ( that I couldn't see ). Then she put us both on hold for another 30+ minutes so she could get a supervisor to look at my account. Right before they closed, the original representative said that the supervisor understood the problem immediately and would get it resolved, but I never spoke to the supervisor myself. 
Third problem- I have been making excess payments to limit how much interest I accrue. I have set up percentage designations of how much of my excess payments should go towards each individual loan. Out of eight loans, four are given 0 % of excess payments, two are given 30 % apiece, and two are given 20 % apiece. Or that's how it is supposed to be- the two that are supposed to receive 20 % of anything in excess show that none of my excess payments have been attributed to their principals since the second payment that I made on XX/XX/23. 
Fourth problem- every time I have tried to call about the excess payment issue ( during their very limited business hours- their lines are open 57 hours per week, of which I am working during XXXX of those hours ), there has been an issue with the call where I can't make it through their menu to even get into the call queue before the system hangs up on me.

I've been the victim of identity theft. My likeness has been used to open bank accounts loans, credit cards, and apartment leases. Consequently, I've filed a police report and identity theft report and the accounts are currently involved in litigation.

Additionally, I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravers ( mo ) 281 SW 715,719, I presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefore exists. 

According to my credit report, the account in question is as follows : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was paid on XX/XX/23 via wire transfer from a closing on a sale of a home. I am a residential realtor and new to the area this was my first sale here. I had opened a chase account being that my other banking institution was not in this area I relocated to. I was informed my account type could not accept wires and that the funds would be returned. When the funds were returned the following XXXX  XX/XX/23 I deposited them into the Chase account and was told funds would be available on XX/XX/XXXX. The mobile app also confirmed this date. On XX/XX/XXXX I logged onto my account to pay bills and noticed the funds would be unavailable until XX/XX/XXXX. Not only has Chase delayed this large deposit from a local reputable title company but they continuously hold small deposits of less than {$500.00} Im paid bi weekly for managing a local bar. Its absolutely ridiculous that XXXX of the largest banks in the country cant cash a routine biweekly check for XXXX of the lowest paid members of the workforce. My hourly pay at the restaurant is only {$7.00}! Yet Chase every other week HAS to hold my 40 hours of compensation XXXX for 3-4 days? This is not proportional.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a hotel room through XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023, order # XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX advertised on their website best rate guarantee policy. I arrived at the hotel and the room was actually less than what XXXX XXXX XXXX charged at {$170.00}. I made a claim on the best rate guarantee on XX/XX/2023.

XXXX XXXX XXXX posts on their website the procedure you have to follow to make a claim on the best rate guarantee. It lists an email address that you have to write to with the details. I did. At the end of that email is another email address you have to email and I did. Then there was another email to write to and that box does not respond and no one answers that email box. So I moved on to disputing the charge with Barclays XXXX, which asked for more information which I supplied by certified mail twice. Barclays card attempted to confuse the issue by disputing a different charge of {$170.00} which I did not dispute, that charge is paid. I asked for a refund based upon the published best rate guarantee by XXXX XXXX XXXX of which XXXX XXXX XXXX has dishonored their own published policy. I have spent XXXX hours preparing documents, printing emails, researching, mailing and making phone calls times {$400.00} an hour is {$1400.00} plus certified mails costs of {$9.00} and {$10.00} on the refund on XXXX XXXX XXXX order # XXXX of {$170.00}.
