Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
JPMorgan Chase as the lender never sent me any billing statement, nor payment alert, nor payment book, nor notice if there's any overdue. Yet they report I had 1 late payment for no more than 2 weeks. 

How can they expect customers to pay when they don't send customers billing statements? 

I still don't know my loan number, I have not seen my billing statement, and I have not seen the due date at all. 

It is not right for Chase to file such claim to damage my credit, given I had 28 years of excellent credit history with no late or missed payment and my credit score was XXXX. Now it dropped to XXXX because of Chase 's false claim. 

In addition, credit bureau does not inform me when they dropped my score drastically for a single late payment that was not even my fault. Credit bureau did not investigate at all, they merely report what lender says. But when the lender is a bad lender such as Chase, then consumers like me are not protected. We are being bullied by big businesses such as Chase and credit bureaus.

Company: Colony Brands, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Every time I ask XXXX XXXX to correct the error on my credit report they add another negative mark to it. 

Why are they doing this at will when ever they want to? This is violation and they should not be able to continually update and unverified account with new negativity activity when every they want to. 

There is are numerous failure to pays that were previously listed as 30, 60, and 90 late. For different years and different months on all 3 credit reports. Changing 30, 60 and 90 day late notations to failure to pays is not correcting an account properly. 

The following failure to pays are current listed on my credit files : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and since I am writing you they will probably place on In XX/XX/XXXX. Please keep an eye out for it and tell them to stop committing violations. 

Can you make XXXX XXXX correct the inadequacies on my credit report or delete this account that is not being reported 100 % correctly? 

I also wrote XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX  in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and I am still waiting for them to verify, investigate, correct or remove this unverified account that is not being reported with 100 % accuracy. 

I am trying to get a mortgage and this is hindering me from doing that. I can not afford an attorney to take them to court so I am asking you to help me make them do their jobs correctly.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
An interactive website of Bank of America ( BAC further ) recommends me to apply for credit cards as limited time offer ( screenshot is attached ). And on XX/XX/2018 I submitted my application. In a few minutes later I was informed that BAC needs to gather more information to make a final decision. 
On the next day, I expected that someone from BAC will reach me either by phone or email to gather more information ( proof of employment etc. ). No one contacted me. On the next day I have reached BAC customer service and asked about my application status and explicitly told that if there are problems with my application, - I would like to withdraw it. Customer service representative placed me on hold and then transferred to another person from the credit card department. He told that he reviewed my application and denied it since I have filed bankruptcy within recent two years.

I am not criticizing this BAC policy and accept it. However : 1. If my application is clear reject why I received a message about gathering more information instead of receiving an honest answer right away?

2. BAC system is fully aware of my finical situation ( I have here direct deposit and Platinum tier of Preferred Rewards ). Why BAC interactive website offers me limited time offers that by default will not be approved? It is like advertising an alcohol to underage kids or ice cream for diabetics. Unethical.

3. My request to withdraw my application - if something is wrong- was neglected. Why? I have clearly expressed it.

4. I was not aware of this BAC policy since limitations/restrictions were not posted by BAC in credit card advertisement page.

In the summary as the result of BAC misleading advertisement - I received the negative record, FICO score drop, 2 days of waiting and frustration. All of this was possible to prevent. 
Even after my application rejection, the BAC system continues to offer credit cards to me.
