Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I applied to open a credit card with Bank of America to take advantage of a lower interest offer for a balance transfer. I wanted the transfer amount to cover the entire amount of another credit card ( XXXX ). After a couple weeks the company informed me that I only qualified for a portion of what I applied for ( XXXX ) so I contacted them by phone and told them that I was no longer interested and to stop the process. They agreed but about XXXX weeks later I learned that they opened the account and sent an arbitrary amount to my other credit card company. It took several months to get the initial money back to Bank XXXX but now there are transfer and late fees that I dont feell I should have to pay. I have been dealing with this since XXXX. I have talked to several people at Bank of America. Some sympathetic, some not but they really dont seem to want to help. Should I just pay the late fees and transfer fees and move on? Any thoughts would be helpfull. 
Thanks XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made 2 payment via XXXX bill pay to Wells Fargo Dealers Services. The first on in the amount of {$4900.00} was a payoff of the car loan and second in the amount of {$3000.00} was made in mistake. I called WF to explain what happened that I 'm owed over payment of {$3000.00}. After few calls, they locate that money and said they will issue a check on XX/XX/XXXX. I waited and waited and called them yesterday since it 's been over a month and I have n't received anything yet or seen anything in my bank account. They said that they sent a check to Payment Processing Center, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Why I asked they why they sent it there, they had no explanation. It should have been sent either to my home address on a loan or via direct deposit since payment were made through bill pay. I asked them to put a stop payment on a check and issue a new one and send it to my home address. They refused because it was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX. I called a bank 3 times yesterday and they can not locate anything. I asked WF about prof of being cashed but they refused to send me anything. My hands are tied now, bank says they do n't have anything and WF claims the money was sent! What am I supposed to do now? I spend 2.5 hours on the phone yesterday going back and forth and nothing! And XXXX XXXX XXXX? It sounds like scam! If I were late on my car loan, I would have been charged late fees. I not only can not charge late fees on my {$3000.00} that they have but ca n't even collect my money back from them!

Complaint narrative:
EQUIFAX : Has listed on my credit report a debt collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX. I have asked them several times to verify this account with me and to send me verification of this acct. Within the timeframe. They have never verified anything. And this acct dated XXXX/2010 something from almost 7 years ago. They allow the company to report this on my credit report every month. An account that has never been verified. Also the company lists the date of acct as XXXX/10 and on another reporting system it is listed as XXXX/10 so the dates do not match up.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Citibank sent me a notice on XX/XX/2017 notifying me of a message of account closure. I logged in to see that they had closed my account unilaterally without prior notice. Closure was for non-use. My issue is that I was not notified and given the opportunity to use the account to qualify to have it remain open.

This is my longest running credit and will adversely affect my credit score. Its poor practice to not allow me to address before the account is closed Additionally, when I called to have the account reinstated, I was told the only way the account could be reopened is if I did a full reapplication that includes a credit bureau pull.

Citibank created a situation in that there was no way to avoid my credit score being impacted.

Complaint narrative:
I made two payments to my accounts. 

1. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made a {$700.00} payment to my reserved line 2. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made a {$1000.00} payment to my credit card Neither of these payments have been applied to my account. The company refused to rectify this situation and now I am out of {$1700.00}. I need help solving this. I have tried to contact the company to ask about my payment and they refuse to provide me with any information. There is something fraudulent going on with my account. I never asked the company to transfer payments from one account to the other. This is a fraudulent situation. Someone has taken my payments and misapplied my payments and reversed it off my account. So where is my {$1700.00}?

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a notice that my mortgage payment would be increasing monthly by approximately {$300.00} due to an increase in county taxes. I called USAA for clarification on the significant increase in escrow, and was informed that it was due to the county taxes increasing. She believed the seller may have received tax credits that I 'm not eligible to receive, thus accounting for the difference. However, I called USAA again and spoke with another representative who confirmed that the taxes calculated at closing only included the semi annual amount, and that amount should have been included twice since XXXX XXXX taxes are semi-annual. She also confirmed that this calculation was a significant error and thus my closing disclosure was not correct. I asked if USAA 's loan processor, underwriter, or anyone involved with the bank should have checked these figures prior to closing, or soon thereafter, since ultimately USAA is the loan originator and servicer, and she informed me that it 's a title company issue. Due to the drastic increase in the monthly amount that I 'm now responsible for, I 'm filing a complaint as I believe this is a violation of Regulation X and TRID. Given the impact this will have on my monthly payments, this appears to be an egregious violation of Regulation X and TRID due to an incorrect escrow calculation, incorrect closing disclosures, and an extended amount of time that has elapsed since the error was made, etc.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft when XXXX issued a credit card in my name which was fraudulently acquired. XXXX discovered the error and contacted me. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX the credit bureaus were notified and credit monitoring put in place. While monitoring my account, XXXX notified me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that persons unknown to me had attempted to open up an account with Synchrony Bank, XXXX  XXXX, XXXX CREDIT ACCOUNT. 

They advised me to immediately notify Synchrony Bank 's fraud alert team which I did. 
I spoke with XXXX who gave me a reference number of # XXXX for further inquiries. 
I was also notified on that day that the fraudulent request for credited been denied and that an investigation had begun and that I would be notified by mail within 30 days. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they sent out a letter denying me credit after doing another hard inquiry which was also fraudulently initiated. 
I responded to them that they should not have been sending me a letter denying me credit because they had already been informed 4 days earlier of fraudulent activity attempted on my credit and that there was credit monitoring in place. After being given this information they in turn did another hard inquiry, I believe, in a greedy effort to open up as many credit cards as possible. 
I also asked them to remove these hard inquiries from my credit report because they were made as a result of fraud. The credit bureau had informed me that the company making the inquiry had to remove it. That has not been done. Neither has Synchrony Bank responded to my certified letter that I sent them on XXXX XXXX, XXXX asking them to rectify this matter. They made the error, especially after being notified of the situation on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Their response was to turn around and do another hard inquiry in hopes opening up new credit debt for me. 
All I want them to do is remove these hard inquiries from my credit report because I do n't want false information on my report that can affect my future credit needs and opportunities for up to three years. Thank you

Dear Equifax : I had previously disputed XXXX as a fraudulent account and it was deleted months ago. Today I get an update that my credit score plunged 82 points and this XXXX student loan account appeared again on my report. I am suspecting you are not in compliance with federal law to prevent re-appearance of previuolsy disputed information. 
I have been trying to contact Equifax by phone and can not access my report online. I already disputed that information on the CFPB portal and it was deleted and it was placed back on this month. 

The account name is XXXX, please remove this account or I will seek legal remedies under the law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For over a week I have been trying to sign up for the Equifax Trusted ID service to freeze my credit report with Equifax due to the recent security breach. I was able to successfully freeze my credit report with the other two agencies in under an hour with minimal effort, but with Equifax I have been met with nothing but a wall of miss-information and unhelpful representatives. The e-mail that Equifax said they were supposed to send to complete the enrollment process has never arrived after more than a week. When I call I am told someone will call me back in 24-48 hours, but they never do. When I called today ( 3 separate occassions ), I was told by a call center representative that the e-mail may never come and I should stop trying. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told they dont have any supervisors, just people working the phones giving out other phone numbers to call that are non-operational numbers. One of the numbers begin given out is XXXX. What is most frustrating is all the advice we keep hearing from so called 'credit experts ' that keep saying, sign up for the free Equifax service and lock your credit report. Obviously they do not have the same issue that many others are having. Would appreciate your agency investigating Equifax and their ability to handle credit freezes and the services they are advertising. Someone at Equifax needs to be held accountable and our elected officials should investigate the company.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received notice in XX/XX/XXXX that my mortgage would be transferred or sold from CitiMortgage to XXXX XXXX. I told my wife that I wanted to just go ahead and pay the thing off to avoid any mix-ups or hassles related to the transfer. We only had about 8 payments left on a 15 year. We utilized their online payment system and paid it off in XXXX increments with the last amount showing XXXX. We tried to pay the XXXX but could only pay XXXX so it left one cent remaining. I assumed they would deduct this penny plus whatever made up fees they claimed from our {$1200.00} they owed us from escrow. I also received a notice of Our records indicated your mortgage has been paid in full. Please be aware you are responsible for all property taxes and insurance. Thank you for your business! when I logged on to make sure that things were done. I thought cool, they will now mail me the escrow balance check. 

My understanding is they have 30 days to settle the escrow. They then went forward with transferring the mortgage to XXXX XXXX and I have now received a letter stating Our records indicate that as of today, XX/XX/XXXX, your monthly mortgage installment which was due onXX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$2100.00} has not been received. I first called XXXX XXXX and they stated that they did show a balance but did not understand why I received the letter. The advisor also stated that my credit would not be marked for 60 days because it was a mortgage transfer and they would look into it. It was also my understanding that my load was not going to transfer to the new provider until the end of XX/XX/XXXX. I called CitiMortgage and spoke to a supervisor on XX/XX/XXXX and was told I could not pay off my mortgage using the online method and I had to request a payoff and that is why the load was transferred. 

I feel that Im being bullied and will likely have to pay a late fee of {$96.00} because I owe XXXX cent on the mortgage and it was late even though they have {$1200.00} of my money that they were obligated under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act to return to me within 30 days. 

Please help with this time wasting madness. 

Thank You Very Much.

An ACH transfer from another account was delayed/reordered to result in an overdraft fee from a check. According to the online banking information the transfer shows as pending Tuesday XXXX, and according to the sending institution was completed by sending institution on Monday XXXX. Also, a positive available balance is shown on the account and multiple debit transactions were allowed on XXXX even though overdraft is not authorized, which also supports the accusation that transfer was intentionally delayed or reordered to generate an overdraft on the check.
