Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: GMA Investments, LLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX from a company called summit rXXXX XXXX. They claimed I owed them about {$1000.00} for a loan from XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX has never given me a loan. I have applied for loans with them, but was denied. I'm guessing that they had a customer that didn't pay and they couldn't find them, so they put my information in the application in an attempt to try to bully me into paying someone else 's debt. They claim the debt is from XXXX, but I have no collections in my credit report. The guy was a real jerk and I don't want him tying up my phone line with his stupidity.

State: LA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
have had my Capital One credit card since 2012, which as been in good standing. We all have so much to do, and I forgot to make my payment on the due date the XXXX. so I was charged a {$30.00} late fee, and called to see if it could be waved. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I talked to several specialist to see if the late fee could be waved, after all there has not been one on my account. I was told no, so asked to talk to a manager. At XXXX XXXX XXXX I talked to XXXX, they would not provide me his name. He also told me no we can not waive the late fee. 

This is the part that bothers me- he told me that the way the late fees are waved can change from day to day, and even be different at night. I asked what the variables consisted of again he said they change and could not provide that information. 

My question is how is this a fair process, if the variables are not the same for each and every customer? I felt discriminated as someone that may call after me with the same situation would have their fee waived. 

I could understand if there was a procedure in place that said customers are only allowed to waive XXXX late fees in a XXXX month period of time. Something that was in place to treat all customers equally.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: Albert Corporation
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I reported an unauthorized charge, for {$140.00} from XXXX. XXXX confirmed there was unauthorized activity in my account and suppressed the charge, indicated I just need to have the XXXX  submit a chargeback dispute, and I provided all this to XXXX, the banking app. This should mean case resolved credit me and recover the funds simply by the process. This was reported XX/XX/XXXX the charge occurred XX/XX/XXXX, they are claiming I made my first deposit on XX/XX/XXXX. So they claim, that since the reported charge occurred within thirty days of making that deposit, even though this account had been open longer than that, they have 20 days to conduct an unnecessary investigation when the offender XXXX has already admitted to the intrusion, but won't issue refund but will honor a charge back. So now I have been shorted this money since XX/XX/XXXX, reported it within the 60 day time frame, and provide sufficient evidence of the fact the activity was not authorized. I'm told I must wait until XX/XX/XXXX for a decision on provisional credit, I say that's XXXX, I believe the moment XXXX admitted the unauthorized activity, that would reasonably be the date the investigation is complete, and an error has occurred, meaning they were obligated to deposit the funds within 1 business day of the error being confirmed, as per Reg E. There delay to investigate an admitted act and at the same time suspending my account is harmful to the consumer me. I now am unable to have my {$2100.00} expected student loan disbursement deposited on XX/XX/XXXX, due to their unreasonable and non-compliant conduct. The account only got suspended following my citing reg E guidelines, which is really shady on their part. The impression I am getting is this is an attempt to bully me into submitting to their walking all over me in some sick power trip cause they control my access to funds I am rightfully due back in immediate relief. They have yet to even initiate the charge back or anything, they are Investigating what, they have the XXXX email that admitted the unauthorized activity and instructions to have the XXXX dispute and charge it back. The only reasons I can fathom for the unnecessary delay is either they can't afford to the {$140.00}, or they are seeking a means to deny me the recovery of funds used to order something to Iowa, when I live in Minnesota, and have no reason to have something shipped to Iowa. This should be a clear violation of regulations and abuse of the consumer, I did all the work to collect evidence including a direct admission from the merchant. And now they are twisting the terms of the regulation to further harm their own customer for asking for their aide and fair treatment, and further sanctioned for notifying them of the Intent to do just this and report them.
