Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My concerned is that chase advertisement for an authorized card holder user is false .... and it does n't give any benefits to the authorized user just bad ones ... I called Chase customer service 5 times even talk to a supervisor and all told me that being an authorized user will help with your credit history since it will be reported in your credit report. I was reported for more than 10 years ... and I remember exactly they told me it was the same as having a secured credit card just not having to put some money down ... so it does n't help you out it just hear user because if the primary account holder defaults on their card you get a mark on your credit report and ca n't be removed. I want this escalated or want a letter saying that being an authorized user will not help your credit score but if the person is late or does n't pay it will be marked in the credit profiles of the authorized user. this is why I think this application needed to reconsider or the inquiry denied ... because of the false advertisement..

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017 I requested online, through my account message center at PNC to close all my accounts. I was sent a reply stating that my accounts would be closed by XXXX XXXX 2017. My account was not closed on XX/XX/XXXX and is still opened. I talked to someone on PNC chat on their website acted as though they did not know what I was talking about- despite I sent a copy of the email reply. The person on chat told me that I would have to zero my balance out first. I have kept very little in this account and the balance stays the same. Pnc charged me over {$10.00} cents in fees. And despite 2 requests to close my accounts - they are still opened ( despite I was told my accounts would be closed ).

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
A recent XXXX initiative was launched XX/XX/XXXX regarding how credit agencies report and/or verify information placed on credit reports. In my case a XXXX XXXX XXXX currently on my TransUnion credit report. After hearing about these changes i called TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX about how this would impact me directly. The lady i spoke with outlined the recent changes to include " a new standard of minimum requirements '' for public records, such as tax liens or bankruptcies. She stated if a reported lien did not include " ( 1 ) Name, ( 2 ) address, and ( 3 ) full social security number and/or date of birth '' then it would be removed from my credit report. I let her know that i had already in fact received a copy of the official XXXX from ***XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX , Florida*** and was able to confirm it did not have the SSN or DOB present. The XXXX XXXX also confirmed the last time anyone requested confirmation of the XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX ( the new XXXX also states regular 90 day check-ups are required ). With confirmation from TransUnion and the Court i submitted my dispute. 2 Days later TransUnion stated it was verified and would remain, even though they directly confirmed it would be removed. I do n't understand why they provided me all the information on the new standards, i confirm my information does NOT meet the standard, submit the request satisfying all the requirements and then they say " its verified '' and will remain. ( I had called XXXX the same day I called TransUnion and after faxing the official copy they also removed the XXXX from that report for this  very same XXXX requirement ). Can someone please contact TransUnion to have my report corrected and follow the guidelines they stated they were using? I need help with this ... Thank You ( i 've also attached an official copy of the lien document from the circuit court supporting my complaint and dispute. I also attached a copy of my SSN and FL DL verifying my identity -- please do n't publish that document )

Complaint narrative:
The checking account from which my Wells Fargo credit card was paid from changed and as a result I needed to change my automatic payment detail on their website. I attempted to login and was repeatedly prompted that my information was incorrect ( using credit card, account and social security numbers ). I then tried to call the company and make payments over the phone, however, my card was no longer in the " normal '' card services and was only available for payments during XXXX-XXXX MT. Essentially, I was continually unable to pay the monthly amount because of this and several " referrals to a different agent '' despite sending several messages for the past three months. This has negatively affected my credit score.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this formal complaint because I feel that XXXX and now SPS are not honoring their part of the agreement with the government. I have been trying to get a loan modification for a year now. During that time XXXX and now SPS has put me through a ridiculous ordeal. I have a legitimate reason for hardship. My wife lost her job a few years ago. I lost my job a year and a half ago and the job that replaced it pays much less. I also had to take care of my elderly parents and help them with their medical bills. I believe that these lenders illegally denied me for the assistance and since I 've read that they have been fined heavily for wrong doing, I was forced to hire a law firm to protect my home. I would have never gotten in this mess had XXXX XXXX not told me to get behind on my payments. They told me it was necessary to be able to qualify for the hardship assistance. Then they played games with me. They told me they never received my paperwork even though I faxed it to them multiple times. Even when I got them to admit that they received the paperwork, they said they lost it and told me I had to re-apply. They kept changing relationship managers on me and I could never get the same person on the phone twice. My mortgage is currently 54.29 % of my gross monthly income. If that is not considered a hardship by XXXX and SPS, then what is? I believe I meet every single criteria put forth by the HAMP program. My mortgage was originated prior to 2009 and I never refi 'd after that. I am hoping that someone will hold these big banks accountable for denying homeowners assistance when they clearly deserve it. I think the main reason that XXXX XXXX  is not helping me is because I have some positive equity and they want to get that money for themselves. I did not read anything on the HAMP guidelines that if a homeowner has positive equity that the lender does not have to approve them for HAMP, but maybe that is just the banks policy to maximize their profits. If I could just get caught back up and into an affordable payment, then I could keep my home, but I am at my wit 's end. I have been trying for a year without any sort of progress. There are an obscene amount of foreclosed homes in my neighborhood and I do not want to join them. Please help me save my home. Im not asking for charity, I just want what is fair and right. From what I understand XXXX XXXX took millions from the government, but they are not helping the people that legitimately deserve it.. Please, please, please help me save my home.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX  Phone XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, CA XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Attempted to place a freeze on my credit with Experian. Made numerous attempts on their web site and phone. Placed on hold for long periods of time only to be transferred and then hung up on. Ultimately the freeze did not happen. Their only other option to initiate the freeze is to send a lot of my personal information through the mail which if in the wrong hands will only expose my identity to more risk. The other agencies made it easy to place freezes.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment on X/X/17 in the amount of {$2200.00}. When I checked my account on the following business day I had noticed that the payment was still not posted to my account. I immediately contacted customer service for capital one. When I spoke to the representative they informed me that there will be a 5 day hold on this account because of the amount of payment has never been made from this account before. I asked them what does the amount of me paying my balance have to do with them placing a hold on my account. The represenative told me this was there policy. Then on X/X/17 I contacted capital one again because I noticed the money had been debited from checking account with my bank. I inquired why they had taken the money and still not updated my available credit line. The represenative once again told me that this is there policy and this would have to be verified through the bank. I asked them why they would debit my checking account and not make my credit line available. The represenative informed me that this would take 5 days to resolve and could not offer any other solutions. I feel there business practice is unfair and really should not treat good customers in this fashion. I was attempting to decrease my account balance and this is the treatment I received after being a loyal customer for the past 5 yrs. The  represenative was very eager to close my account and continued to ask me over and over again did I want to close the account. The represenative name was ( XXXX ). I told her that I really want to close this account but I am fully aware that closing a credit card decreases your credit rating. I would like to see my credit line available to me and never have to be treated and such a disrespectful fashion. The represenative even insinuated that this may be fraud and questioned if I was the actual account owner of the checking account. This was very insulting and humiliating.
