State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I am filing this complaint regarding the unjust restriction of my Bank of America credit card despite resolving the issue in full. I have been a loyal customer with Bank of America for over XXXX  years. My credit card was locked due to a late payment that was only XXXX days overdue. I was sick and unable to address the issue immediately, but as soon as I was able, I paid the balance. Despite this, Bank of America has refused to reinstate access to my card, even after multiple requests and attempts to escalate the matter with supervisors, claiming there is no reinstatement process. I urgently needed access to the credit line, and I believe the continued restriction is unreasonable given the circumstances, my payment history, and the fact that my account is now current.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to address a critical issue regarding the sign-up bonuses for my personal and business accounts, which I was assured were active.

My account details are as follows : Personal Account Username : XXXX debit card endXXXX customer service close the extra debit card end:XXXX Promised Sign-up Bonus : {$400.00} upon setting up a direct deposit exceeding {$1000.00}. 

Business Account Username : XXXX debit card endXXXX Promised Sign-up Bonus : {$400.00} upon depositing over {$2000.00}. 

I received official email confirmation from Truist ( as per the attached screenshot ) stating that these opening bonuses were indeed effective for my accounts. 

However, I subsequently received an extra, unsolicited debit card. Today, upon contacting customer service to inquire if this additional card would impact my sign-up bonuses, I was informed that it would. 

This situation is concerning because the issuance of an extra debit card was not a result of any action on my part ; it appears to be an error on the bank 's side. Therefore, it should not negatively affect the agreed-upon opening bonuses for which I have met or intend to meet the conditions. 

I request that Truist Bank : Ensure that the sign-up bonuses for both my personal account ( XXXX ) and my business account ( XXXX ) are honored as per our initial agreement and your confirmation. 
Provide me with a detailed explanation regarding why this extra debit card was issued and why I was initially told by customer service that it would jeopardize my opening bonuses. 
I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Comenity Banks refusal to remove interest charges that were applied to my account after a 12-month no-interest promotional financing plan. I made all payments on time throughout the promotional period, but unfortunately, the final payment was made late due to international travel.

I contacted customer service promptly to explain the situation and requested a one-time courtesy waiver of the deferred interest, given my otherwise perfect payment history and the isolated nature of the late payment. Despite multiple attempts and good faith efforts, Comenity Bank has been unwilling to make any accommodation.

I believe this is an unreasonable outcome considering the circumstances, my payment history, and the fact that all other obligations under the promotion were fulfilled. I am seeking the removal of the deferred interest charges as a one-time goodwill adjustment.
