Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I found myself unable to pay my credit card bill. Was given online payment assistance options, and after sending a message electronically -- I got a reply days later, asking me to call their payment assistance line. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent BofA written correspondence, explaining my current financial circumstances and requesting payment assistance. On the XXXX, I decided to take the extra step to call the line -- which then, a representative heard my financial situation, and referred me to a debt settlement program which she referred to as " credit counseling ''. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX, which then referred me to XXXX XXXX, a debt settlement program which encouraged me not to communicate with BofA and to not pay them a single cent. I didn't think this was right, so I looked at non-profit credit counseling programs. I found InCharge Debt Relief, which helped me work out payment arrangements with three creditors, all except Bank of America, which did not want to work with me, as in their opinion, me keeping more than one emergency credit card open was not acceptable to them. I also have never received a response to my written correspondence. I may use this complaint as evidence, if Bank of America chooses litigation, as I have gone above and beyond to try and settle this debt in a way that is not financially crushing to me, an unemployed ( for 10 months now ) young adult with no income or assets that is currently struggling to pay day-to-day bills, and yet it is Bank of America who has not shown any willingness to settle this matter. I have told you many times, over written correspondence, your recorded lines, your online messaging that, and instead of understanding my hardship, Bank of America continues to remain silent, and request the original payment amount.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was involved in a scam where a caller told me they were the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, warrant division and that I had a warrant out for my arrest due to a missed jury summons. I was put under a gag order and told that I had to pay {$2500.00} for the two citations ( {$5000.00} total ) and that it could not be paid through a debit or credit card. I paid the person through Venmo. They then told me I owed another {$2500.00}, at which point my fiancee told me that this was probably a scam and I needed to verify who I was talking to. I did not pay them the extra {$2500.00}, and I was able to get a stop payment with my bank and received the funds back. However, Venmo fronted the {$5000.00} to the account and is now telling me that I owe them {$5000.00}. 

I filed my initial claim with them on the XXXX about the initial dispute, and they denied it. I filled an appeal to the dispute on the XXXX, which was filed as an unauthorized transaction. On XX/XX/XXXX, that claim was denied saying they did not locate evidence of unauthorized access to my Venmo account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I filled a police report after having tried on XX/XX/XXXX and being told to file a complaint with the FBI ( which was done ) and filled the report for the scam. Spoke with Venmo on the XXXX where another representative told me that the claim should have been filed under their scam disputes and put in a new claim. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another email from Venmo, from the same account specialist as before that my unauthorized transaction was denied and I called Venmo support because it was not supposed to be filled under unauthorized transaction. Venmo support stated that the ticket for the scam claim was still open, but that specialist was still attached. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email that does not properly word that they were denying my scam claim, stating that they are unable to discuss the specifics due to their privacy policy. They claim that since I filed a chargeback from my bank, that my account will be frozen until I pay the {$5000.00}. The wording of the email was difficult to grasp if they were denying the claim, so I called Venmo support again, only to be told the the claim should have only been filed under unauthorized transaction. So a claim was filed again and then denied yet again as of XX/XX/XXXX due to the same device being used for previous payments. I was able to email back that account specialist and received an email back that stated they were sorry to hear that I was a victim of a scam. When I emailed again, stating that I needed to know how to move forward, they did not respond.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, Id like to file a formal complaint with the CFPB against JPMorgan Chase. Recently I discovered check fraud on my account by which a check in the amount of {$2900.00} written for my monthly rent was stolen from my local mailbox and deposited into someone elses account ( not the intended payee ). Ive filed a claim with Chase Bank to recoup the funds but they refuse expedite my claim and say it will take up to 60 days to investigate. 

For this, Im unable to pay my rent this month and will incur a late payment fee of {$200.00}. Im also calculating that I will overdraw my account with recurring bill pay due to my missing funds. 
I feel my requests have not been handled properly or urgently and I would like to see that this does not happen to other customers. They will not provide provisional credit so now Im experiencing financial hardship. I would like to ask that my claim is resolved expeditiously and that Chase review their subpar customer service standards. Clearly unacceptable to make the victim here suffer so needlessly. Clear and obvious check fraud should be handled immediately, and not in 60 calendar days.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After receive a default judgement from this company on XX/XX/XXXX, I started to do some research and found that the company has filed several small claims law suits on me without proper notification. I recently sent the company a debt validation request and the information that I received was not the proof of evidence that I requested. I request for the company to send me a signed contract or agreement bearing my signature indicating that I agreed to make payment to them or I even owe the debt. However, I did not receive the documentation I requested. I was sent credit card statements instead. 

What is more disturbing is I found a court document on XXXX Co. Clerk of Courts website with a signature forgery. I didn't signed this document and has never seen it before XX/XX/XXXX. Nevertheless, someone signed my name to the document and filed it with a court of law. This company has committed fraud against me and I will be filling a complaint with the XXXX  and the Office of Attorney General. I am further contemplating contacting a law to represent in a case against this company and it's affiliated partners for unethical and unlawful practices.
