Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. 
After many, many offers I applied for XXXX corporate revolving credit line on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. ( ref # XXXX ) After 1 week I received letter they can not grant credit because they are unable to verify personal garantor`s identity. I found the phone number contacted them it is XXXX XXXX.They told me that they use adverse action against me because they can not verify the phone numbers I have provided.I explained them that the phone numbers I have provided been my numbers for over decade.My personal cell phone is XXXX XXXX XXXX contract phone and my home phone is landline XXXX XXXX and its still on my name. 
And I also told them that I have a credit card with XXXX XXXX with same contact information.I offered them every possible way that they can verify my identity, even by going to any bank or store.They keep telling me that the only way to verify is a phone number, and if their system does not identify you then they turn down application. 
They act against equal credit opportunity right.They unfairly just refuse to cooperate and help consumer to verify their identity. 
When the supervisor was trying to help me she forgot to mute my line and I heard how she was talking to her colleague and they were saying that they can see my phone number in a system but they can not use it as verification. 
Eventually they just told me that they can not help me. 
Even thought I work all my life to have perfect credit, I spend lots of money on paying them interest, but today they are refusing to offer product.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I returned a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The lease was not up until XX/XX/XXXX ; however, I returned it early in connection with leasing a new vehicle. The new vehicle is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Both leases were through XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The dealership promised to pay all remaining amounts due on the lease ( excluding excess wear and tear ). I received confirmation several weeks later from XXXX XXXX XXXX that no further amounts were due on my XXXX XXXX when I received the next statement that showed a XXXX  balance. 

In XX/XX/XXXX ( 5 months after returning the vehicle ), I received a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$310.00}. There was no documentation explaining why I owed this amount. I tried calling XXXX XXXX XXXX but could not get through. I left a message but no one ever returned my call. This was the first I ever heard that any amount was owed on my XXXX XXXX. 

Approximately, 3 weeks later, I received a call from a debt collection agency ( XXXX XXXX ). I explained the situation and told them that I was contesting the bill. They said they would put it in for challenge. I did not hear from any one again until XX/XX/XXXX when XXXX XXXX called me again. I once again told them that this was to be challenged and they told me they would come back to me. 

I finally received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX. It included a description of amounts charged by XXXX XXXX XXXX and amounts paid. It ends with a balance of {$310.00} ; however, it never explains why these amounts are owed ( e.g. missed lease payment, fees, damage to vehicle ). It also claims this letter was sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX ( 4 months after lease termination ) ; however, I never received it.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was finally able to reach someone at XXXX XXXX XXXX. They told me the amounts owed are for a missed lease payment. I explained to them that the dealership had agreed to pay all go forward lease payments. They told me " that was my problem '' and tried to connect me ( again ) to XXXX XXXX. I called the dealership and they told me that all lease payments were made. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has submitted this issue to credit agencies and damaged my credit score.  They have also told me I owe money on a lease ( 5 months after lease termination ) but never provided me with any disclosure as to why I owe this money. They also will not even discuss this issue on the phone with me. I would like to know whether this is truly my obligation to pay and would like my credit score repaired. I would also like to make sure that XXXX XXXX XXXX provides full, adequate and timely disclosure of amounts due by their customers.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was charged {$1000.00}. This was a result of someone hacking my XXXX, sending themselves money with my linked credit card. I also received a text from XXXX asking if I authorized this charge and they asked me to text yes or no back. I texted no back hoping that meant they could stop it and freeze my account and whoever hacked it. They also asked me to change my password because it was hacked, so they could see it was hacked from a different XXXX location. I contacted XXXX and they basically said it takes 7 days to figure everything out. After 7 days they basically said there is nothing they could do because the money was sent as friend/ family thus not having their purchase protection but then I explained how it was hacked and they had me change my password because of the hacking etc but they would n't do anything and said that I needed to contact my credit card company. I proceeded to contact Chase on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. After months they sent me a letter saying there is nothing they could do. So now I am stuck with a {$1000.00} charge on my card that has been also charged interest for months with no one willing to help me. Luckily I heard about you guys from one of my business mentors and REALLY hope you guys can make this right! Thanks so much

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Beginning sometime around XX/XX/XXXX, my home conventional mortgage was acquired by LoanCare. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I began making an extra mortgage payment of {$120.00}, to be applied to the principal. Records show LoanCare received regular EFT payments of {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. At no time were these payments applied against my principal. I began calling every month after theXX/XX/XXXX payment to inquire as to why not. I have spoken to several customer service representatives, and/or customer service supervisors. Each time I was assured the error would be corrected, and my funds were then credited against my principal. The issue is : If I do n't call, the money sits in an account, not applied to anything. Also, I do n't get interest reduction on the loan. 
Secondly, I do not want ( for financial burden ) to change my automatic monthly payment, and there is no way of making automatic additional payments, except by doing it one month at a time on their website : Myloancare.com. They admit to me there is a problem with cashiering not recognizing the additional payment when it comes in, but they do nothing to fix the problem. 
Third issue : I have made additional mortgage payment to other lending institutions with no problem. This is an issue that is unique to LoanCare and can not be allowed to continue. 

I NEED YOUR HELP!!

I purchased some bitcoin on XXXX ( What a great day to be scammed ) and the transaction fee said {$1.00} - Okay, no problem. 
Put through an order with a merchant and they told me they were only paid XXXX dollars out of XXXX -- Turns out, they charged me an astronomical XXXX out of XXXX dollars as a transaction fee! I would have NEVER put this transaction through if I was made aware of this charge! WHO WOULD?!

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, fraudulent charges were made to my account, which were disputed. Navy Federal Credit Union has made me responsible for these charges despite my efforts filing a police report and fighting the charges with the creditor. Navy Federal opened a new checking and savings account afterwards to which I have been using for over almost 2 years. I deposited a payroll check on XX/XX/XXXX, which was a temporary check from my employer until he received more business checks. The check was marked as fraudulent but I discovered that it cleared after receiving a statement in XX/XX/XXXX. After many calls to NFCU, I was not allowed to speak to security, my account access has been barred, my account was placed into deposit only status, and I now am responsible for paying off the former account before I can access any accounts. Nevermind the fact that I have to transfer funds to my XXXX child in XXXX  across the country, ca n't use my account for normal reasons, paying bills, getting gas, ect., having disconnect notices for utilities on the table and the only branch is a 2 hour round trip for me. NFCU has made my life a total living XXXX WRONGFULLY!

I have been a victim of fraud and identity theft and have made this known to the 3 credit agencies Trans Union, XXXX, and XXXX. However they are reporting errors on the credit report and profile they have set up for me. 

I have repeatedly asked for evidence of the verifiable proof to support the reporting, but yet again, they have failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence submitted by any of these creditors substantiating their claims. These negative events that are being reported by their agency are erroneous and false. Furthermore, I have also requested their method of verification, and they have not complied, which is an additional violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Credit Karma should stop advertising to consumers and encouraging them to dispute their credit reports without consumers first obtaining an official report from the bureaus and reviewing themselves. They should stop advertising the reports they provide for free to consumers as their real credit reports, when this is not the case. This is XXXX and unfair to other businesses, causing more work for other companies to review frivolous disputes when the reporting was accurate.
