Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle
Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I leased a car from BMW. It was my third lease in a row. Ive been doing business with them for 9 years with out an issue. When my lease was up, they tried to charge me incorrectly and gave me a big bill at the end. They claimed that I was missing a key. I wasnt. They claimed wear and tear on the tires. The tires were used, but thats because I had the car for 3 years. I told them a couple of months before that they couldnt expect me to buy 4 brand new tires and then give the car back. Thats crazy, and they agreed. I tried speaking with them several times, and there was never a live operator. Now they put me in collections, which is outrageous. Please look into this matter for me. Thank you.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery has been reporting an invalid account to my credit file for close to 7 years. They are falsely accusing me of owing them {$1000.00}. I have never had any account with Portfolio Recovery. Also, I have no contract with them. I tried to get them send me any agreement that I may have signed. They failed to provide validation. This is clearly a fraudulent act on the part of Portfolio Recovery. Because of their ruthless and illegal practices my credit score, as well as my life, has been impacted negatively. This needs to be resolved immediately.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened an American Express Starwood Preferred Business Card in late XX/XX/XXXX due to the enticing XXXX open account reward promotion. I have met the spending requirement of XXXX dollars in XX/XX/XXXX, however, the reward points promised never showed up in my Starwood Reward Program account, where my previous points from the American Express cards appear. Three attempts to communicate with American Express were made roughly 1 month apart starting in late XX/XX/XXXX. Each time, I was promised the points will be awarded. To date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), three months after the requirements were met, I have not seen any rewards.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Regarding Chase Freedom Visa Credit Card ... 

I received a notice today that they were increasing my Interest Rate from 12.24 % apr on purchases to 15.99 % apr beginning XX/XX/18. I have the option to reject the interest rate/apr increase, however, I would have to close my account. I think it is unethical to impose more than 3.75 % interest apr in one big leap. I have NEVER missed a payment to them in approx. 20 years. 

Their explanation on the notice stated " We are changing the Annual Percentage Rate ( APRs ) because your APRs are below the lowest APRs we currently offer on similar accounts ''. 

I would like to keep my Chase Freedom Visa Credit Card, however, I am experiencing a hardship and will be unable to afford my monthly credit card payments when this APR is increased. 

It would not be in either my best interest OR Chase Bank 's best interest to loose me as a customer. 

This to me seems unfair business practices. I am currently maxed out with my credit limit with Chase, however, I repeat, in approx. 20 years I have NEVER missed a payment ... ever!
My only alternate solution may be to apply for a hardship program or consider filing for bankruptsy, in which case, Chase would receive no repayment of the credit card debt I owe them. 

In addition to my Freedom Visa with Chase, I also have a Slate Visa with Chase, and of which my payments have NEVER been late.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter in the mail requesting collection of debt XX/XX/XXXX for a Citibank card. The letter I received says I allegedly owe {$1400.00}. I contacted Citibank to verify what information was in their system to validate the legitimacy of the letter, at which point I was informed that the debt was being managed by a separate collection agency/law office. I found this odd because the debt was not on my credit report and in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating my inactive account was being credited for an identity or credit protection service I had during the time my account had been active. Also in XX/XX/XXXX, I received in the mail a pre-approval letter for the Citibank Diamond Preferred card, which further confused me. Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received another Citibank card offer for a ThankYou Preferred card. If I had outstanding debt with Citi, why would I be eligible for their top cards?
The 3rd party organization also sent a letter claiming to file a foreign judgment with the current state I 'm living in, which I do n't even understand what that means. 

This matter has resulted in further research and I uncovered that Citibank broke the law by providing inaccurate and inflated interest rate information for about 130,000 credit card accounts it sold to debt buyers. The bank also was accused of failing to promptly forward about 14,000 payments from customers, totaling about {$1.00} XXXX, to the debt buyers. When I reached out to the 3rd party company that sent the letter, I was told that only {$200.00} worth of payments to Citibank was recorded associated with the inactive card account, which again makes no sense. 

I also learned that from at least XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, Citi used misleading statements to get people to sign up for debt protection services, and charged for credit monitoring services it sometimes did n't provide, the consumer protection bureau said. XXXX also charged a {$14.00} fee for same-day payment on delinquent accounts, a service that most users did n't need, according to the agency. Which I had clearly been a victim of due to the refund letter received.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently had an account start reporting on my personal credit history. I had not had a XXXX account report for many years. I made my last payment and closed my account. On my personal credit report, it shows that I have an open account with XXXX and it was closed and charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. Also, when you open a XXXX account you have to pay {$30.00} upfront and they state that the {$30.00} will be your first payment. They did not consider my {$30.00} my first payment and showed me late and each time I made a payment when my email alerted me, I was considered late and they would add interest. I did not know this at the time but I looked at this document and saw the way they were overcharging me. They never credited my first {$30.00} as they stated and they would send me paperless bills to my email and then consider my payment late even though they were billing me. I have submitted dispute after dispute to both the credit bureaus and the creditor with the address that is located on the credit report. I received a letter from XXXX stating that they transferred my account to another lendor and I should contact them. I have the letter as proof. It also shows that I paid the balance in full and then they added a COFINCHRG of XXXX and a COFINCHRG of XXXX. I was not aware of this. I had no idea that after paying my balance off online and having a {$0.00} balance that they would add any kind of extra charges. They never informed me. You can see the consistent payments on the statement they sent me as well. It was not a charged off account. The creditor has it listed as a charged off on my personal credit reports, I have attached them. And the last date of payment was is showing in XX/XX/XXXX. It shows on the document from XXXX that the last date of payment is XX/XX/XXXX. I sent the credit bureaus this proof as well and they still refuse to acknowledge that it is a fraudulent account that does not match my records. They may have me confused with another person but I never paid my account in a charged off status.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX placed 3 orders on phone, please see detailed below. 

XX/XX/XXXX noticed I was over charged and called to dispute three over charged. 

XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX asked for refund status, provided their store policy to proof I was able to price match with coupon, asked if they got phone conversation records. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX was told she should have information by the end of week, but have not heard from her since. 

Order # XXXX Invoice shows {$88.00} was charged, but additional {$97.00} was added on my credit card without my consent. {$97.00} needs to be disputed. 

Order # XXXX Invoice shows {$100.00} was charged, but additional {$100.00} was added on my credit card charges without my consent. {$100.00} needs to be disputed. 

Orders # XXXX Invoice shows XXXX was charged, but additional {$97.00} was added on my credit card chages without my consent. {$97.00} needs to be disputed. 

Refund ( XXXX+XXXX+XXXX+XXXX ) have been credited, but still shows as {$17.00} is needed to be credited to my card, but I do n't think I should be satisfied just because they refunded me some. Also, the amount they refunded me was price match amount found from XXXX, but the time I placed my orders the prices were cheaper. Why should I pay for their mistakes? Besides, the price match is already done, and I should get refunded on unthorizated charges not whatever the amount they feel like to give to me.
