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: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am an Amex Platinum card holder since XXXX. Sometime earlier this month I was informed about a new Delta Skymiles Amex gold card promotion which waived 1st year fee and XXXX Delta miles after charging {$1000.00} in 3months. The promotion was relayed to me when I asked to exchange the airline incidental fee reimbursement from Delta to a different carrier I was convinced to apply ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) for new card and was approved for a new card on application submission. I received the new card a few days later. 
I started to make qualifying charges of several hundred dollars. 
This morning I called Amex when I noticed the new card had a different Skymiles number than my current Delta number. When I called Amex to combine my 2 Skymiles accounts and I asked for update of my total points and when the promotional points would be available to purchase a new airline ticket.. 
It was at this point ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was told that I am not eligible for promotion because I had closed the Delta card a few years ago. Amex could not/would not provide me any details of the previous account that disqualified me for current promotion. If I knew or had seen terms I certainly would not have applied for the new Skymile card and would not have to combine 2 accounts and would have accumulated bonus points on my Amex Platinum card. This appears to be a variant of a classic bait and switch of the promotion,

Company: Source Receivables Management LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing with Source Receivables Management against inaccurate and unverified collection account on my credit reports. I have sent letters informing them that I am unaware of this account with them, sent debt validation letters for proof and evidence that I am the person they are asking to pay this debt and a contractual obligation that legally binds me to pay the alleged debt to them. I have attached most of those documents that I have sent to them. I have yet to receive any response from them with the proper proof. 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) grants me the right to request validation of any alleged debt a business says that I owe it. It also states that upon receiving this validation letter, one must cease from collection calls, letters, and efforts and delete the account from my credit files until the debt can be validated. This is a clear violation of the FCRA. Also, the bureaus have been reporting collection agencies own the same accounts. With XXXX, as of XX/XX/18, it shows that Source Receivables Management collection agency owns XXXX XXXX at {$1200.00}. However, XXXX, as of XX/XX/18, shows Source Receivables Management collection agency owns XXXX XXXX at {$1200.00}, and Receivables Performance Management collection agency owns the same XXXX XXXX account listed with Source Receivables at {$770.00}. It is a violation of FCRA law to report various inaccurate and unverifiable collection accounts owning the same accounts with different balances within the same 30 day period. I have included pictures of my credit reports to verify my claim on this. Please help me to get Source Receivables to delete these inaccurate and unverified accounts from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I have been fighting with them about these accounts for over three months.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed information on my credit report with XXXX. They did not investigate my dispute in a timely matter ( 30 days ) and is still reporting this inaccurate information. As of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX is in violation of the FCRA. I called them the same day to see why they did not follow the law. It is very difficult to get anybody on the phone. Their automated phone system is designed to hang up on you if don't pick one of two options that did not apply to my situation ( I did not need a new credit report or place a fraud alert on my account ). I tried getting through for several days. I finally got through to someone, which she was not much help. Another dispute was started, but the phone got disconnected after being on the phone for an hour. My dispute is with Westlake Financial Service, which they is reporting accurate information. This account was deleted once and then reinserted back on my credit report. XXXX   violated the 5 day reinsertion notification. On top of that the information reporting is inaccurate and incomplete ( XXXX XXXX ). Westlake also uses another name to stay on credit reports. Their other name is Westlake Service Inc. They once was on my credit report with both names at the same time. XXXX   recently verified this account as being accurate. But how is that? I recently wrote Westlake last month and I have not heard from them ( 30 days ) 2  ) XXXX XXXX is on my report. This old outdated account is still on my report, which they stretched the dates, because this is a XXXX account. The information reporting is also inaccurate and incomplete. 3 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX is account that is reporting inaccurate information and the wrong account type. I disputed the balance and the days late is not accurate. 4 ) XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is an item that I do not recognize the account number or the account. They reporting late payments that don't add up and charge off balances that don't match the past due. How can the past due amount be more than the charged off amount? 5 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting 120 days late back in XXXX which is inaccurate. They are a school loan that was in deferment. I have challenged the accuracy, compliance and reportability of these listings to no avail. As of today, XXXX   has failed to comply with the laws of the FTC and the FCRA. These reporting errors has greatly impacted my credit score and is making it hard for me to be financed with the best interest rates.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery and Associates are claiming that I owe them {$6800.00}. I have sent them 3 letters dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX asking them to provide a contract with them or anything to validate this date bearing my signature. They have not been able to provide this information but they continue to report this on my credit report. 

They have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and/or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Section 807 ( 8 ) by not placing the disclosure within the required 30-day period.

They are liable for your willful non-compliance, as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ] ( 3 ) Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer. They did not mark my complaint as disputed but marked it as resolved without providing my signature on a contract. 
( B ) Time of Notice ( B.I ) The notice required under subparagraph ( A ) shall be provided to the customer prior to, or no later than 30 days after, furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ).

They have violated federal law, by not properly providing the credit bureaus with proper notice within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts. 

I have certified mail receipts dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( should be XXXX ) and XX/XX/XXXX. The one dated XX/XX/XXXX has a tracking number of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was actually received on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX which is mail fraud. It was held so they could buy more time to find my signature which they do not have. 

They are required by law to remove this from my credit report or face legal action for the following : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) 4. ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-b ) 5. ) Mail Fraud This false information on my credit report is costing me in higher interest fees and I am being denied credit.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Nationstar/Mr. Cooper Mortgage Company due to unacceptable practices that have occurred after I refinanced my home loan. My original mortgage payment ( prior to refinancing ) was around 1k. I refinanced in XX/XX/XXXXand enjoyed a monthly payment of {$850.00} for about 15 months. In XX/XX/XXXX my payment increased back up to {$990.00}. I have since been paying this amount and haven't been able to get acceptable responses from the mortgage company. My 1st complaint about he increase took place XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXXand this is still unresolved. 

As I mentioned, I refinanced my loan inXX/XX/XXXX, but byXX/XX/XXXX my payment increased back up to XXXX and the reason I was told was because my insurance and property taxes have increased. This is not true. I recently researched this and I don't see the increase. My property taxes from XXXX to XXXX have only increased by {$190.00}. Meanwhile my annual insurance premium has remained around {$200.00}. Currently in my mortgage payment {$390.00} is being applied towards escrow. This calculates out to {$4700.00} a year. However my XXXX property tax was only {$2700.00} and my insurance premium was {$180.00}. This only totals {$2900.00} ... for a difference of {$1800.00}. I relayed all this information to Mr. Cooper and received a letter explaining there is a minimum amount balance requirement and that mortgage insurance is also built into the payment. Both factors are reasonable reasons. 

The issue is that all contributing factors that determine escrow remained constant over the life of my loan. I refinanced in XX/XX/XXXX which extended the life of my loan back to 30 years and now the monthly payment amount is right back to where it was before the refinancing. I have responded to Mr. Cooper explaining this and asking for more details. I received another letter stating that 30 days is needed so the loan can be investigated. It is nowXX/XX/XXXX and I still have yet to receive a response. 

I feel I have been taken advantage of during the refinancing process and was low balled so I did not refinance with another company. I am not stuck with a the same payment as I had prior to the refinance, but the life of the loan was extended back to 30 years. Please help.
