Company: Uprova Credit, LLC
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I took out an installment loan from UpRova on XX/XX/2023. Unfortunately, the terms of the loan were not clearly outlined, and I was unaware of the high interest rate. Had I known about this, I would have never done business with Uprova, as such practices are predatory and should be illegal. This is not fair business conduct under any circumstances. When I called to speak to a representative at UpRova, they were unhelpful and rude, suggesting the obvious solution of paying off the loan in full to avoid the XXXX XXXX interest rate. Upon requesting to speak to a supervisor I was informed nobody was available. The unprofessionalism and term " agreements '' are very concerning.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I was purchasing a refrigerator over the phone through LOWES XXXX XXXX  using my LOWES credit card. I have possessed a credit card with LOWES for approximately 8 years and have never been late making a payment and many times paying my full balance off. I have an exemplary credit file with no late payments ever made. 

Although I had adequate credit available to make the purchase, the purchase was declined and I contacted LOWES at XXXX to investigate why. I was given an obscure excuse that the credit bureau is making them verify my identity. They completed the two-step authentification process by sending me a link via my phone number which has been on file, and to scan my driver 's license front and back which I did. I read the code back to the male representative upon completion of the process. The phone number XXXX is what LOWES used in this process. 

They went a step further and scanned my face with artificial intelligence without any disclosure or consent on my credit contract to such acts. The purchase was still denied and my account was closed. It appears to be an act of XXXX profiling because the two-step authentification process was sufficient to validate my identity. 

I am further concerned about what are they doing with my facial profile with third parties or selling my facial profile. 

Please investigate accordingly.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I waited for XXXX  years for the opportunity to order my XXXX XXXX XXXX truck. At the time of my reservation, the vehicle was priced significantly lower. I watched as prices went up supposedly went up with public statements by Ford claiming supply chain issues, manufacturing problems, etc. I relied on these public statements as to why the costs skyrocketed when I made the decision to continue the purchase. I trusted Ford was being an honest broker with their product. In XXXX of 2023, I was able to order my vehicle at an MSRP of {$88000.00}, which also put this vehicle outside of the range of qualifying for the Federal Tax Credit. I picked up vehicle and taxes and fees included spent {$94000.00} on XX/XX/2023. A few days later, XXXX  days later, I learned through media that Ford had lowered the price of my exact vehicle by {$8400.00} as a base MSRP. This is a fraud and price gouging. I expect small fluctuations in pricing, but not that amount, which is just price gouging. Ford has harmed me by intentionally lowering the price of the vehicle and instantly de-valuing my vehicle on the open market, charging me more than a vehicle owner just 17 days later, and by lowering the price to below the {$80000.00} limit, they have cheated me and other owners out of qualifying for the {$7500.00} tax credit from the Federal government as well as the state incentives where I live for the exact same vehicle that now qualifies for the credits. In all, they have defrauded me {$8400.00} + $ XXXX {$15000.00} plus the financing they provided through Ford Credit which for me is at XXXX XXXX instead of the much lower XXXX XXXX financing for well qualified buyers just XXXX  days later, which I am one. These are not market forces at work. It's fraud, price gouging, deceptive business practices, and intentional devaluing their product and harming me and other owners who were scammed by Ford with these price manipulations on their part.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I made a dispute against XXXX for the full amount of my rental on XX/XX/XXXX with Bank of America. 
A few days later, I called them and the guy said he would expedite the claim. I asked him why didn't they give me credit on my account ( {$650.00} about ). He did not answer. 
Later I called again and talked with a female and she said I should have gotten a letter or email requesting more documentation ( I had never received any request for documentation in the initial call, any subsequent call, or in any email or letter ). 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail from Bank of America stating I had XXXX business days to submit documentation or they would close the case and not refund my account money. The amount disputed in the letter was {$270.00}. 
I never disputed this number. I disputed the FULL AMOUNT and told EVERY CSR that I was disputing {$650.00}. I don't know how they came up with this number. 

I want to have more time to submit documentation. I also want to know when this " email '' was sent to me to submit documentation. 
I want to know why my account was not credited for {$650.00} while this investigation was done into the disputed amount. I want to know why I was sent a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX when that was the day I called them and complained. Why wasn't I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX when I made the initial dispute. 

Bank of America has incompetent staff, backwards procedures, and can not handle a simple dispute. I will seek legal counsel for this and other matters.
