Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds
Company: Stewart, Zlimen & Jungers, Attorneys, Ltd.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Stewart, Zlimen and Jungers LTD have engaged in harassing tactics for going on two years now. They never informed me of my ability to dispute a debt, they sent fake ( ie look like XXXX County Court documents ) to coerce me to pay a debt I dispute, they claim I owe more then the amount and the amount granted by the court, they continually contacted me despite my now three times telling them to CEASE and DESIST and I complied with a court order by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to verify that I the judgement they got against me, with out having me served to the correct address, were not collectable due to my only income being XXXX or other protected assets. 

Despite my third informing them to cease and desist and my filing a past CFPB complaint over the issue and they saying they will not contact me ; I received a letter dated XXXX18 trying to garnish a bank account they have already been informed of as only having XXXX as my income. 

This is a pure attempt at harassment and they are trying to cause fear and distress in making me think they have a court order to seize money they know is already exempt.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/2017, I called my bank XXXX XXXX to ask for new checks to be sent to my new home address because I had run out of checks. They said that they would send the checks right away. After a week, the checks had not arrived so I called them again and they said the same thing. I wound up calling XXXX XXXX six times over a two month period, each time urging them to send the new checks because I had bills to pay on another bank account ( XXXX XXXX ). Finally I was late on a car payment ( 30 days ) because I did not have the checks to make the deposit to XXXX XXXX. The checks finally after 6 calls and two months did in fact arrive, after which I immediately went to XXXX XXXX to make the deposit and the loan payment. XXXX XXXX in the meantime, filed a 30-day late notice with the credit reporting agencies. I feel that this is completely wrong and irresponsible on XXXX XXXX 's end that they did not send the checks and now I have this on my credit score which has gone from XXXX to XXXX on one credit reporting agency.

Complaint narrative:
Good morning, I understand what the law says about the credit report and filing for a bankruptcy but I believe it is not fair that if I file for bankruptcy and the case was dismissed that it is listed on my credit at all, if at the end of the day the government funds were not use to get out of debt why is it being reported at all and damaging my credit? I went through a rough period of my life as many Americans from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX that filing for bankruptcy was my only option for my piece of mind since I was going crazy not being able to pay off my debts as I wanted to, but the case was dismissed because I was not in the US at the time of the court ( taking care of a personal issue in XXXX ) and I decided not to continue filing the bk after that, still my credit was affected and I've been working hard to restore it, but the bk that I never received a benefit from is still showing and from what I see it will continue coming up for another 3 years. Please if there is a way to have that bk removed please let me know how, or if some amendment to the law can be done to help us consumers that dismiss the cases to have the bk removed would be greatly appreciate it by me and many Americans. 

Thank you

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me a collection notice regarding an account that was clearly fabricated. It does not appear on my credit report, and I never opened this account nor did I agree to assume this debt. 

The original creditor they cite - Citibank N.A. XXXX-Consumer -- is not associated with the IIN/BIN Number number cited ( XXXX ) -- and is in fact associated with a DEBIT card, not a credit card. A cursory check of the facts by XXXX would prove that this debt record is completely fabricated. 

It's clear that they are trying to collect on fake debts, and someone needs to stop them.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Amex platinum delta credit card has a refer a friend program where if you refer someone and they get approved, you are entitled to receive XXXX bonus miles. Back in the first week of XX/XX/XXXX (  Amex has the exact date ) i referred my wife by sending her the link provided from americanexpress.com in the email. She clicked on the link and applied for the card, she was approved right away. Couple of days went by and i did not see the referral miles show up in my account. I called Amex and they said it takes about 6 to 8 weeks. I called multiple times after a few weeks and then was told the same story. After a while, i decided to open up a complaint with Amex about this issue and escalate it. They opened the complaint ( Amex has the exact date ). Ever since then i have been calling Amex and they are saying that they are still reviewing, It has been since XX/XX/XXXX that i have been calling Amex and they have not issued what i am entitled for. To everyone who is reading this, i have been a member of Amex since XX/XX/XXXX and i urge you to stop your business with Amex as at this point they are in the very shady business. I have immediately stopped using all my AMEX cards and my wife has also stopped using her card.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Billing dispute for services
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This all started on XX/XX/XXXX, for planning on purchasing a new vehicle, so I wanted to check my credit report, and scores of all 3 credit bureaus, so I went on the website of XXXX.To check my information thru website, they charge {$1.00} for 7 days, then cancel, so I cancelled on the 4th day of subscription period. So then I checked my credit card and the charge for a {$1.00}, and {$29.00}, were on my statement. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Experian about my charge on my Credit Card for {$29.00}, regarding Free Credit Monitoring. So I had to wait for over an hour before, I could speak with someone, so I hung up after 30 minutes. Then I called again on XX/XX/XXXX, about the same thing, after over 2 hours and nobody still no answers, I hung up. So then I called my Credit Company, and they told me to send a letter to the dispute area, saying that I didn't authorize that charge for {$29.00}, so I mailed a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. I still haven't heard back from them regarding the dispute letter, so I planned on checking later today. So during both those times, the automated service asked if I would like to cancel my membership, and I did both times. So I got mad that they charged me the {$29.00}, and don't even do any free monitoring on my account. Except, XXXX XXXX notified me about the dealer checking, along with other banks that checked my reports on all 3 bureaus. So, as of right now, I have sent a dispute letter to my Credit Card company, to refund the charge back to my account ASAP, for unauthorized charge. This isn't the first time, Experian has done this to me. I have seen they are having a settlement against them for this exact thing to other people. I'm also wanting a free copy of my Experian report and score, due to purchasing a vehicle, and being denied credit on a purchase previously before all this happened. FREE REPORT BY EXPERIAN, WITH SCORE AND REPORT.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018, Chase has closed two of my credit cards. 

I have built a good relationship with chase. I honestly don't think I did something wrong to get it closed. I have XXXX credit score, few points away from excellent, never missed a payment, and paid all of my debt on the following month. 

I called the chase about 3 times to get it re-open, and they said it is permanently closed, and there is nothing that they can do about it. 

I really need these two cards, because as a full-time student, that 2 % of reward is significant for me. 

Please help.

Complaint narrative:
This was an account with XXXX XXXX. I canceled my hot spot at the end of XX/XX/2016. I was told that I could come back at anytime and pick up the service. I told them in XXXX XXXX XXXX and then after 60-90 days they were still billing me. I work out of state and was not able to get my mail. I paid everything online. I then called XXXX again and again. They kept telling me not to worry about it. I called the next month then someone else told me that they would not do anything about it and it would go to collections. I paid on this every month that I had this account on time. I then have been disputing this collection for over a year and I have given all the credit reporting agencies the time line when I switched with bills showing when I canceled the account and still because of these big corporations can put in accurate information on your credit report at anytime. I paid on my account and paid for services that I have like any other account that I have. XXXX should do the right thing and take this off my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Yes, I am a victim of a mistake by Missouri Child Support Enforcement. They made a mistake on my case by explaining how their arrears dates work. I was under the clear impression that I was only one month behind on Child Support because I made my payment on XX/XX/2018. However, it was never explained to me that if the payment does not get into their system by the first of the month, it automatically goes into arrears!

It takes my XXXX XXXX autopay about 4-5 days to go through their system. They went ahead rudely and illegally submitted my case to collections which hit my credit report- lowering it and causing a huge problem now with getting the collection off. I immediately called them and put thebalance on my credit card and paid them up in full but now I have a mistake on my credit report! I need help with this.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Sun Trust Bank denied our home purchase loan and the reason is due to " previous relationship ''. Since we never had any dispute with Sun Trust, our credit score is high and debt to income ratio is low, we contacted Sun Trust Bank asking for an explanation. However, Sun Trust Bank loan officer never explain to us and just ask us not to contact her. We suspect that our identity were stolen or other misunderstanding that caused the denial, so we really want Sun Trust to provide more information to prevent further damage. However the only thing they do is to act rude and treat us unfairly.
