Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the XXXX XXXX American Express credit card back in XXXX 2022, which on the page I applied it advertised I could receive XXXX bonus delta miles after applied and used {$XXXX} in the first XXXX  months. I still haven't received that advertised bonus mile and when I called them they are saying only new customer could receive this offer which there is NOWHERE stating that on their website when I applied ( I used to have a different AMEX credit card but I close that account couple years ago, but they are saying I am not a NEW customer... ). 
It is absolutely not acceptable, completely false advertisement and scam. The ONLY reason I applied for this credit card is to get the bonus milage from XXXX and I did spent {$XXXX} after I opened the account. 
Also AMEX has been sending me mails ( more than XXXX times ) convincing me to apply for this credit card but didn't say anything about new customer only. 
If I know that I am not eligible for the bonus millage, I would never applied in the first place.

Company: First Financial Resources, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
There is an account listed twice with First Financial Resources collection agency in XXXX, MA. Its a duplicate account that appeared twice. There should only be one account. Obviously this hurt my credit. I contacted the credit bureaus, who said First Financial resources was reported the account twice. For years only 1 account was reported. Magically in XXXX of XXXX the same exact account with a balance, date of service, and original delinquency date appeared. This new account had a new account number. I contacted them twice on XX/XX/XXXX. I emailed them all the documentation showing this account was a duplicate. I asked for a supervisor. But was not given one. I was told I would get a call back. But never did. They said they didnt have an answer. This is unacceptable. For a debt collection agency to clearly report an account twice and not have an answer as to why or where it came from is almost criminal. It has a direct effect on someones ability to gain employment, get credit extended etc. This company does not keep good records, communicate well, or follow up on extremely important matters. Management and the people who work there are inept.

Complaint narrative:
Eight months ago I applied for a dental credit card. I was denied by XXXX Credit report on me. I tried calling as the letter from the credit card company said information obtained in a report was why denied. they ( XXXX ) were unable to supply specific resons why I was denied. I tried calling multiple times and could never get a person, only a credit report. That took about XXXX weeks. I got the report dated XX/XX/2022. I could see no problem so let it go. 
I do not have my notes any longer to give times or dates. BUT same thing repeated itself today : I got a letter from my credit card that I've had for over 5 years. It states it's lowering my credit line. Now I have paid my card off every month, no late fees. Reason is in a letter saying it was based in whole or in part on information obtained in a report from Experian. Experian was unable to supply specific reasons why, like XXXX. I attempted to call 3 times and you can not get to a real person. Its the same recording that XXXX has, I must choose to get a credit report or report fraud. If you say operator it says must hang up. I can not get to a person to find out what is wrong. I need help in getting to the bottom of this. Thank you.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXX through XXXX of 2020, I had received funds through Venmo of around {$2600.00}. The funds were sent to me through a random customer who purchased a lot of clothing from me. I had attempted to withdraw the funds on the same day of the sale and my account was locked. I had contacted Venmo about this issue and they told me my account was locked for 180 days under a review. After the 180 days had passed, I had contacted Venmo and I was informed that my funds would not be released to me. I had made numerous email complaints and Venmo essentially told me that the case was closed and there was nothing I could do. Here is the exact statement written from a Venmo representative : " You are sending and receiving what we reasonably believe to be potentially fraudulent funds and using the service in a manner that have resulted in reversals. Specifically, you received a large number of payments within a short period of time immediately followed by withdrawing the funds. There is no prior history on your account of accepting several large payments in a short period of time and immediately withdrawing the funds. '' I had explained to Venmo numerous times that the transaction was due to a clothing sale. A person had purchased a lot of clothing from me and paid me in total. That is why the amount was high. As for the matter of withdrawing the funds immediately, who wouldn't? What reason do I have to keep that balance in my venmo account when that money was from a sale? Of course I would immediately transfer it to my bank account. I also want to note that I had over a years worth of transactions on Venmo prior to this large sale, so I was not a new user with XXXX transaction history. Venmo had also explained that there were reversals that resulted in a loss to Venmo. This is extremely one sided and unfair due to the fact that I had lost not only the money that I received from the sale, but the numerous designer clothing that I had sold as well. There was no form of flexibility in terms of a partial payment or a reinvestigation on the incident. It was simply I lost my money and there was nothing I could do about it. I am also writing this CFPB complaint 2 years after the incident because I had just discovered about the CFPB. I would like Venmo to give me my stolen money back.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, while applying for a mortgage, my lender made me aware of a major derogatory account on my credit reports from XXXX and XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX subsidiary XXXX was attempting to collect a debt of {$750.00} from me through XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, FL ) collection agency. I had never had a XXXX account. 

I opened disputes with XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX both of which were resolved in my favor. The item was deleted from XXXX report on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached reports for both disputes. ( I should note that the presence of this item on my credit report had a negative impact on the interest rate on the mortgage for which I was approved ). 

While going through my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX I became aware of another debt collection claim against me from XXXX which had been filed on XX/XX/XXXX. At this time XXXX hired Credence Resource Management ( XXXX, TX ) as the collection agency. I immediately filed a new dispute. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a Fraud Packet from Credence to my actual home address which they were apparently able to obtain through the dispute I opened with XXXX. The gist of the letter was that I had filed a fraud and identity theft claim and that in order to make this claim I was required to send Credence an affidavit, valid US government issued ID and a police report. Of course, I had not made a claim of identity theft, but mistaken identity. The situation was more like debt tagging but with the creditor rather than the collector undertaking the debt tagging by hiring successive collection agencies to refile the false claim. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX score was decreased by XXXX points and my credit rating was downgraded from very good to good. There were no intervening alerts in my credit report to explain the sudden and substantial decrease in my XXXX score. 

I should note that only XXXX acknowledged Credence Resource Management Cos effort to flag me as a credit risk. I continue to be in touch with XXXX to resolve the current dispute which is little more than a zombie version of the claim I discovered in XXXX. 

It is very important that this matter be resolved once and for all and that XXXX in particular be held accountable for their actions. It is an undue burden for consumers such as myself who are working hard and paying their bills on time to have to constantly be on guard for false debt claims from large corporations whose incompetence causes real world consequences for consumers.
