Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Chase credit card XX/XX/XXXX with the promise of XXXX SW points. I was recently informed that my remaing XXXX points expired XX/XX/XXXX because I did not have any points earning activity in the past 24 months. However, I do not believe this should have occurred. All of my points came from my Chase credit card and I went back to the terms and conditions of this card. Here is what I was promised in those terms : TERMS AND CONDITIONS : Points do n't expire as long as you have flight or Partner earning activity every 24 months. No Blackout Dates and Unlimited Reward Seats apply to flights booked with points. I had a flight on XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, I met the first par of the " either or '' requirement to prevent expiration of points. Southwest told me that I needed to have a flight that I paid for with cash, and since I used points to purchase my flight, it did n't count. The credit card terms and conditions do not specify that the flight could not be purchased with points, it merely states that I needed to have a flight. For this reason, my points should not have expired. I would like for Chase to reinstate all of the remaining points ( XXXX ) earned from the credit card as I met the terms of their agreement. If the terms require a southwest flight purchased without points, the Terms and Conditions should specify that. *I attached a copy of the email sent to me by Chase that confirms my points would not expire so long as I had a flight in the past 24 months.

Company: CREDICO. INC
State: SD

Complaint narrative:
I received a the first notice from Credit Collections Bureau dated    XX/XX/XXXX . Upon receipt of the notification, I called and left a message for a return call. I never received the return call. One week later I had a notice for certified mail. Within the certified mail was a notice of a small claims lawsuit. The deadline to respond to the denial is   XXXX   XXXX   2017, which I intend to do.
<P/>
I was not given enough time to respond and dispute the debt ( 15 ) days from the first notice received to the date of the Notice of the small claims lawsuit being served.
<P/>
The amount of interest that has been charged is {$440.00} and the total amount of debt was {$530.00}. How long has this been in there office without trying to reach me? I believe this could be from an surgical operation back in  XX/XX/XXXX , How long is the statute of limitations on these debts within my state?
<P/>
I am aware of the collection practices of this firm and to my knowledge this is a collections tactic they use. Placing a small claims judgment against a consumer whereby it is entered and then they place a wage order on the consumer.
<P/>
How is this practice not a violation of UDAPP?

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
HSBC advertised a {$350.00} bank bonus promotion for opening a checking account by XXXX XXXX, XXXX and pay at least two bills per months or having a direct deposit into the checking account. The account was opened on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and funded with the required amount of at least {$1500.00}.. Two bill payments were made for XXXX and due to a death the in family overseas, I was not logging into my account. Later, when I tried to log into my account, the account was not accessible and locked. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I spoke with XXXX who told me that as long as I make two more months of bills payments and then call HSBC, I would be able to receive the {$350.00} bonus and she would leave notes on my account for the next representative. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I contacted HSBC and found out that XXXX did not make any notations on my account regarding the promotion. Also, I notified HSBC that the two additional months of bill payments were completed in XXXX and XXXX and to request the {$350.00} incentive be credited to my account as soon as possible. 
It is very frustrating to speak with HSBC representatives in the Premier department who refuse to transfer the call to a supervisor upon request and who deny the promotion despite being in the other department.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My federal loans were paid off on XX/XX/2017 after refinancing with a private lender. Due to the timing of the refinancing process, my federal loans were overpaid by {$920.00} because I kept making payments during the refinancing process. I was sent a letter from FedLoan Servicing indicating that my loans were considered paid in full on X/X/17. It has now been sixty days, and I still have not received a refund of {$920.00} overpayment. I have not received any correspondence from the FedLoan Servicing addressing this issue. I have contacted FedLoan Servicing through their preferred contact procedure ( email ) and have yet to receive anything other than an automated response that my inquiry was received. They have removed my account access to view my bill history. Further, despite acknowledgement from FedLoan Servicing that my account was paid in full, my own account still reflects that my loans are in " repayment status '' and lists upcoming direct debits on my account for XXXX XXXX, 2017 on loans which show negative balances owed to me.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Student Loan Care, LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Student Loan Care ( SLC )  called me in    mid- XX/XX/XXXX , multiple t imes, each time presenting themselves fraudulently ( without me initially knowing ) as a " federal loan servicer. '' Whereas, most other companies were " servicers of federal loans, '' and they explained that I would " not have to pay anything '' - but they only told a half-truth in that they meant " not have to pay anything toward my loan. '' In reality, they were not a federal loan servicer, nor a loan service whatsoever, they are a consolidation sc am artist com pany that preys on college students to enter agreements which they do not fully understand. The entire conversation that I had with the  SLC representative did not o nce indicate that I would be charged a monthly fee for their consolidation services nor that I would be paying them anything at all. So, I reporte d them on  XX/XX/XXXX  to the   Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Lo-and-behold, a new company ( who I was also unaware of ) named    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   res ponded, declared I was a liar, but then agreed to close the case and return my money.  <P/> Now, here we are ,   XX/XX/XXXX  an d I r eceived a phone call from   Student Loan Care asking about my account and what happened. They wanted to k now   if I was still " using their services '' and if I planned to continue using them. I politely explained to the representative that I believed their company and their loan comp any (   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   ) wer e very manipulative and scammed me into accepting their services - which I would not have taken otherwise. That 's the main point of contention : Had I been clearly informed on the telephone about the services  Student Loan Care/    XXXX   XXXX   were offering ( to consolidate my debt, put my loan in deferment, and then reapply me each year ) I would NOT have taken them. Instead, I was coerced through manipulative half-truth type of language into accepting their consolidation services in the understanding that they were a " federal loan servicer. '' Today, the representative presented me  two options  : " Pay 40 % of the total debt that w ould be accrued this year '' ( which would be {$560.00} ) or they would send it off to collections agency and make me pay the full amount of {$1400.00}. I, due to my belief that this was a very manipulative, coercive, and shady deal, one that was not detailed or clarified appropriately in initial   communication via telephone, feel not responsible to make any payment toward  Student Loan Care,   XXXX   XXXX  , or otherw ise.  <P/> Attached is the initial company response from    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  .

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Navient  XXXX .  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , PA  XXXX  I am responding to your errant letter referenced above and enclosed for your review. For the record, the alleged consumer-reporting agency indicating the above loan is not [ mine ] or may be the result of identity theft is in complete error.     The referenced account is listed on my consumer reporting agency credit report and deleterious [ wrong ] information continues to be reported by Navient. Although the account is closed you have repeatedly reported that I was  90-120  days late on my payments.     This is incorrect. Further, I have repeated asked that Navient provide me the backup documentation supporting this claim, to no avail.  Navient  has refused to provide me any supporting documentation in furtherance of their claim. As you are aware, FCRA requires you to produce the information.     I am asking again to either square your allegation or cure [ remove  ]  the false information being reported to each of the  three  credit bureaus. Please reference below : CFPB Sues Nation 's Largest Student Loan Company Navient for Failing Borrowers at Every Stage of Repayment. Navient, Formerly Part of  XXXX   XXXX , Illegally Cheated Borrowers Out of Repayment Rights Through Shortcuts and Deception  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX .     What I am specifically referring to are the  XXXX   ( 90 )  and  XXXX   XXXX   (   120 )  payment history being reported wherein  Navient  falsely alleges I was late.  Navient  also reports that for the months  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  my account was paid on time. Given the history of the on-time payments, it was not possible for me to be 90/120 late in  XXXX   XXXX  respectively.     I am requesting that you permanently remove this erroneous reporting to all three credit bureaus.
