Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Please reference complaint number XXXX. 

Select Portfolio Servicing in their response stated having submitted a request to suppression of a late reporting in XX/XX/XXXXon my personal credit bureau report. For a period of time this 30 day late was suppressed, however it is reporting again. Could you Select Portfolio Servicing please re-send the same suppression to the CRAs for the same period as they had done so before as I believe this will relieve part of my complaint with SPS? 

Regarding the late reporting showing on XX/XX/XXXX. This was a time period of extreme weather that impacted the processing of payments and deposits sent and received in this area. Roads were closed in some cases for several days and bank branches were unable to open. It is normal for creditors to waive late payment reporting in cases of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Could Select Portfolio Servicing please suppress this 30 day credit item from my report on that basis?

Complaint narrative:
I initiated a dispute for seven charges. I provided Barclay my full dispute details. The fantasy football service through gamership was never provided. I laid out all the details for Barclay. They refuse to actually investigate. The representative spoke little English named XXXX told me that the charges were legitimate because they were online gambling. I told her that 's not what it was. California law allows fantasy sports as well as federal law but I never received the service. So I asked them to reinitiate the dispute process and faxed over updated information. They refuse to assist me or provided documentation as provided by their own policies and California consumer law.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In the month of XXXX, 2017, I opened an account with Coinbase, under email XXXX. I linked it to my bank account and was able to make some purchases of virtual currency. One day suddenly I found that my account was restricted and could n't transact anymore. I contacted support via their online form, and waited, and waited ( several days ). I sent an email to XXXX ( as directed in several of their pages ) just to get an autoreply that the email was no longer being used for support. At any rate, despite my multiple attempts I never received a response, and I incurred losses as I was unable to trade virtual currencies ahead of what I had anticipated ( correctly ) would be drops in value. In the end, after many ( at least 4 ) attempts to contact support, I gave up. I transferred my devalued virtual currency to another exchange. 

As a Financial exchange, Coinbase should have a way to be reached via phone to address urgent issues, yet, there 's absolutely no way to do that. There is no phone number and their support simply does not respond, despite following the proper channels.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX XXXX my credit card was fraudulently used on multiple transactions. While Capital One was quick to issue credits for the fraudulent charges. However XXXX 3 charges were charged back to my account. XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX for {$550.00}, XXXX XXXX for {$160.00} and XXXXXXXX XXXX # XXXX for {$330.00}. Despite being given the police report and FTC affidavit identifying these transactions as fraud Capital One Decided to hold me accountable for them. I immediately redisputed them, speaking with a case manager who told me she would have them removed back in XXXX XXXX. Over the next few months I called in multiple times to inquire as to the status of these fraudulent charges and was always told the case manager would have to call me back. Yet I never received a call back. 

Finally I spoke with a Fraud Account Manager who told me because they suspected the charged where domestic fraud even though it was clear I did not make the charges they would not get involved or honor their fraud zero liability stance as advertised and written in the the credit card agreement. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1643 - Liability of holder of credit card then Burden of proof In any action by a card issuer to enforce liability for the use of a credit card, the burden of proof is upon the card issuer to show that the use was authorized or, if the use was unauthorized, then the burden of proof is upon the card issuer to show that the conditions of liability for the unauthorized use of a credit card have been met. In no way has Capital One fulfilled this requirement. Instead they have shifted the burden of proof onto the consumer in violation of this law. 

Then Exclusiveness of liability of a cardholder incurs no liability from the unauthorized use of a credit card. Regardless if the possible suspects may or may not be known the to the consumer as long as the consumer never gave them permission to use the card. Capital One is violating this law as well.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citibank Thank You Preferred card. I was attempting to purchase an international flight, and apparently my account was flagged for fraud. I called the toll free customer service number to resolve, but was told that this would be impossible because my number did n't match the one that 'they have in their systems '. Funny thing is that, on my online account, it clearly lists the last four digits of my number ; the number that I gave them to confirm, and the number that I was calling from. They then told me that they would need another credit card to confirm against with the respective bank that it belongs to. I gave them the card number, and they told me that I would need to wait 24 hours for confirmation. 

I call 24 hours later, and the new person has no idea what 's going on. Gives me the same line, phone number, credit card number, etc. I tell her that I 've done this before, and that I needed a better, more direct solution. She told me that my cell phone number did n't match what they had on file. I gave them my landline number ; they had that one ( the first rep did n't say that ). They say that they 'll call that number, leave a message with the confirmation number, and I 'll need to read that back. Someone is at my house during this time listening for the phone, no call. The rep from Citi said that she called and left a message. 

In the end, I have a frozen account which I can not close, and I can not verify my identity even using the gratuitous amounts of personal data that a financial company such as Citi has on me. I do n't know what to do and Citi is not at all being helpful, and only offering non-solutions to help resolve this problem. 

I stayed on hold for an extended time to get the team-lead 's name and title ( it was a lady ), but she hung up on me after I waited on hold approximately 45 minutes.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Apparently there was an error when I tried to pay off my loan through Toyota Financial Services, but Toyota Financial is not reflecting the true payment due on its website because of an IT error. I still have the money in my bank account, and I am afraid I will not be able to pay it off and the account will accrue interest. I really have no idea what is going on or what to do. XXXX Toyota Financial, I have called them at least 8 times due to different errors, and at least half were not able to solve my problems. Only a resolution specialist will most likely solve them properly, but they are nigh on impossible to get to because the customer representatives are usually mediocre and/or have little control, so the resolution specialists are flooded with requests.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX University and during my studies at XXXX, there was an outstanding debt owed to them. When I left XXXX I provided adequate and precise forwarding mailing information of which they failed to capture. 2 years later I realized there was an outstanding amount of XXXX dollars and the school charged me and extra XXXX dollars of late fees assessment due to a negligence on their behalf for not capturing the correct mailing address. When I found out about this year I added it to my current loan provided then new information and in return they were suppose to give me a default letter clearing this matter. They have supported and email identifying receipt of the funds from a government loan institution and yet they refuse to give me a clearance letter knowing that I need to begin classes XX/XX/XXXX. I am really upset that my semester will be delayed because they simply are upset that I wrote them a very strong email identifying there error in managing this situation. I hope that they understand the ramifications and jeopardy they place me with on an educational stand point. They can easily give me a default letter but they seem to want to not help and have me miss my semester with the new school.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from a telemarketer from American Express by a lady named XXXX. XXXX. The lady had me record a statement that I did not want to provide my SSN. She assured me that a credit application would be based on my business income and not my personal information or credit. An inquiry would not be made without my consent. She asked me for my business Ein, address and income and date of birth. She somehow pulled my credit, said my application was denied and hung up. I have been unable to call her back. She straight lied to me. Now I have a hard inquiry denial for credit with XXXX and probably the other Two bureaus. Can American Express telemarketers just lie to us with immunity and without recourse?
