I took only {$1200.00} short term loan and started paying regularly. Their sales person was a sweet talker and lied to me on loan terms and interest rate.

They even refused to change the payment date from XXXX of every month to the XXXX week of the month as my rent is due on XXXX of every month and I just can not pay other bills on that day. 
I paid over 50 % of the loan amount but got into this debt trap by their false and misleading sales tactics.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Debt Collector : Conserve, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX Date of Incident : XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Conserve on XX/XX/XXXX, upon receipt of a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX in reference to a student loan debt. I spoke with " XXXX '' and then later asked to speak with her supervisor and was transferred to " XXXX XXXX ''. I told her that I was calling to make payment arrangements to resolve the debt and to prevent further damage from my credit I told her that I am XXXX years old, a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX working a part time job earning just over minimum wage. I do not have any savings and as such, proposed a payment plan of {$25.00} per month. XXXX XXXX told me none of the details of my circumstance matter in that the minimum payment they will accept is {$50.00} per month. 

Then I asked to confirm that Conserve would agree to refrain from reporting any further delinquent notices to the credit agencies as long as I made each monthly payment on time as agreed until paid in full - she refused to agree.and told me " the only way '' she can tell me they will refrain from reporting me to the credit bureaus is IF I paid the total amount in full by XX/XX/XXXX. 

It is unfair and unethical business practice for Conserve to not attempt to work with me regarding the monthly payment amount, to threaten to report me to the credit bureaus if I do not pay the full amount by XX/XX/XXXX,  and to refuse to refrain from reporting me to the credit bureaus while I am in a repayment plan and in good standing. 

The original debt amount shows {$220.00}. 

Conserve is attempting to collect an additional " CREDITOR ASSESSED COLL COSTS '' in the amount of {$67.00} for a total of {$290.00}. 

Conserve is not licensed to collect said debt in the state of Florida.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/ 2017 I have been sending dispute letters every 30-40 days requesting a thorough investigation of erroneous and unknown items on my credit report. I asked that I be provided with legitimate verification as to how, by law, the disputed and negative inquiries and accounts arrived on my report. I asked that proof be shown with original contracts and my signature. 

I have sent each request certified mail. Each time I get a letter back with very little information and the bureau stating that it " re-investigated '' my dispute. However, the items remain on my report without verification being provided or explanation. The Bureau generically states " verified. '' Also, my inquires are not being responded to within 15 days. I also demanded, for that reason, that because they violated a consumer credit law, to immediately delete the disputed items. 

Also, during the time of disputes, the Bureau has inserted additional unverified accounts onto my report. 

I have explained that this whole process has been costly and stressful. The Bureau continues to disregard my requests.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Chase Bank regarding 3 credit card accounts that were coming due. I advised them that my checking account information had been compromised and that I am working on recovering missing funds with my financial institution. I advised Chase Bank that because of this I would be unable to make my current payment that was due on 1 credit card the last week of XX/XX/XXXXand the other 2 that were due the first week of XX/XX/XXXX. They advised this would not be a problem and that they would make a notation on the account. I asked if I could pay a double payment the following months bill or if they would like the payment when my checking account was corrected. They advised a double payment the following month would suffice and they would wave any late fees since I called and explained the situation. I recently ran my credit report and to my surprise I have a late payment notification for all 3 that is hurting my ability to obtain a loan. If they would have told me that they were going to make a negative remark on my credit report instead of acting caring and understanding I would have asked a family member to pay this for me. I have contacted Chase Bank and explained everything that happened in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and they stated there was a notation that I had called but they would not remove the negative report as the notation was incomplete. I feel they acting unreasonably to my request as I have been a good payer to Chase Bank for a long time. With the proper explanation of what would have happened I would not have opted for the double payment the following month.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I paid Bank of America {$34.00} in XX/XX/XXXX to put a permanent stop on a payday loan company, ( I made sure to clarify that there was NO WAY after I paid for a stop, that this company could take any funds from my account ), then in XX/XX/XXXX, ( 5 months later ) the bank allowed a charge for {$300.00} from the loan company to pass through my account, overdrawing my account. I called Bank of America immediately, ( while the charge was still processing ), their representative assured me that indeed the stop I had paid for was active AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED without my formal consent. She said the charge would NOT go through, and it would drop off, she made it very clear that Bank of America would not pay the charge that was processing, and that I need not worry. The next day the charge processed all the way through to PAID. I call back, Bank of America transferred me to their claims department where the representative informed me that an error had been made clear back in XXXX. She said the original representative who put the stop on the payday loan company had neglected to place the stop on both the debit card as well as the ACH. At that time I was again assured that I had paid for the stop to be put on the payday loan company, so I had nothing to worry about. She started a claim, and put a credit into my account to replace the money that was taken from me without my authorization. I thought this was a really bad experience, but people do make mistakes, so I was just glad it was resolved. Then in XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail stating that the credit they issued would be reversed and that I would have to pay {$300.00} that the bank mistakenly paid to the payday loan company. When I called claims back they ask me if I authorized the loan company to debit my account. I said no and I paid to put a stop 5months ago. And, then they wanted to know if I informed the payday loan company. I said yes, I had informed them. The representative said, o.k. I will tell the investigator assigned to the claim. Then a couple of days later the bank charged my account {$300.00}. I guess Bank of America does not take responsibility for its employees errors.
