Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding improper XXXX application and improper fees on my BP Rewards Visa credit card account with FNBO Bank. 

I have not made any purchases since before XXXX. My last activity was a cash advance in XXXX, and I have made consistent monthly payments since then. 

I logged in to my account on XX/XX/XXXX to do a wellness check and noticed the following. Beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, my credit card issuer began charging me a new {$1.00} monthly paper-statement fee. I do not recall receiving the legally required 45-day advance Change-in-Terms notice for this new recurring fee.

Immediately after the fee began, the bank created a new Purchases XXXX XXXX APR ( variable ) category, applied only to the fees they imposed, despite the fact that I have not made any purchases for several years. The small balance under this APR is entirely composed of the paper-statement fees.

Bank-created fees are not purchases, and can not legally be treated as new transactions subject to a higher or separate APR category under Regulation Z. No new purchases exist that would justify this APR tier. I also have never been 60+ days late, so a penalty APR is not applicable.

I called the bank immediately and escalated to a supervisor. They refused to refund the improperly applied fees and interest ( except for ONE month ), claiming that no further adjustments can be made. They also refused to provide me with a compliance contact or escalation path.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a debt collector is attempting to collect and report an alleged debt without providing lawful validation as required under the FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ), Regulation F ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ), the FCRA, and New Jersey state laws, including the NJ Consumer Fraud Act and the NJ Consumer Finance Licensing Act.

I formally disputed the alleged debt and requested full validation, including : identification of the original and current creditor, a signed contract or compliant electronic agreement, itemized accounting of all amounts, complete chain of assignment/bills of sale listing my specific account, original statements, proof of charge-off, proof the debt is within the New Jersey statute of limitations , proof of an active NJ debt collection license, and evidence their initial notice met all Regulation F disclosure requirements.

The collector has * * not provided legally sufficient verification * *, and instead continues credit reporting and/or collection activity. Reporting and collecting on an unverified debt violates FDCPA 809 ( b ) and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), as well as New Jersey laws prohibiting deceptive or unconscionable practices under N.J.S.A. 56:8-2.

Until full validation is provideddirectly from the original creditor, not internal summariesthe collector is required to cease all collection efforts and stop furnishing negative credit information. Failure to do so constitutes continued violations of federal and state law.

I am requesting CFPB assistance to : 1. Require the collector to provide full and complete validation ; 2. Ensure they cease collection until validation is supplied ; 3. Correct or remove any unverified credit reporting ; and 4. Ensure compliance with FDCPA, Regulation F, FCRA, and New Jersey statutes.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The loan has an 18-month no interest period, but the auto pay function does not allow one to pick an amount that fulfills the loan in that period. Also confusing is that the auto-pay amount comes off any extra payments you may make to fulfill the loan in that period. There is also a 90-day deferment on the first payment further setting one back on the road to repaying the loan within the 18 months. Seems like it sets you up to fail. Basically it sets up auto pay for 15 months that is under the amount you need to pay in order not to get hit with the entire interest.
