Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went in to a Best Buy store to purchase a new labtop. 

During purchase the supervisor encouraged us to sign up for the Best Buy credit card advertising it was 0 % interest on ALL purchases for 12 months. I asked for clarification and to confirm it was 0 % interest on ALL purchases- the supervisor confirmed this information. 

Reviewing my past two months statements I have been charged interest on all purchases made after the initial purchase which is not what was advertised. 

During transaction I never had the opportunity to review terms or read " fine print ''. I was lied to by a best buy supervisor.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX claims they represent XXXX XXXX XXXX in attempt to collect a debt in my name at the amount of {$180.00}. 
I 'm not aware of this debt. My relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX ended in XXXX 2009. Even if such debt existed, based on Statute of Limitations for this kind of debt, which is six ( 6 ) years, it 's run well past the SOL. The debt has never been marked on my credit file and does n't exist as of the time of writing of this complaint. Neither the collection agency nor the original creditor may pursue any kind of collections since 1 ) no legal actions as an attempt to collect had been initiated within the time frame allowed for this kind of debt by the applicable law and 2 ) the SOL had expired as well.

Based on the above, the actions of XXXX XXXX are considered to be illegal and in violation of the corresponding Federal Law.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On the afternoon of Wednesday XXXX XXXX. I entered the PNC Bank located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX. I was investigating a ( NSF ) fee of {$36.00} that had been placed on my account on XXXX XXXX. 
The fee had been placed on my account after a {$1000.00} check had " bounced '' and all the money was returned to my account. I spoke with a female representative within the XXXX branch # in her office about how I should resume to pay the bill in which the Check was intended. She then picked up the phone and called " back of house '' to see if they could waive the ( NSF ) fee. They began to tell her that there was nothing they could do about the bounced check and she would have to contact her manager to request a refund. She asked me if it was my first ( NSF ) fee & it had been. The {$36.00} request was denied. I then proceeded to tell her that PNC had been nothing but trouble lately and I would like to close my checking account IMMEDIATELY! Without any hesitation she said " okay, I 'll close it personally TOMORROW ( XXXX ). I 'll write you a withdrawal slip NOW and I 'll close it first thing TOMORROW ( XXXX ). 
She wrote the withdraw slips for {$1100.00}. I signed them & walked out of the PNC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX with my money, a {$0.00} card balance and trust in the bank representative. 
On the afternoon of XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX I get an email. My account is - {$36.00}! How? Apparently the ORIGINAL " bounced '' check # XXXX from XXXX XXXX that was returned to me, was put thru AGAIN on XXXX XXXX. Now, I have NEVER heard of a bounced check having the ability to be pushed thru the system multiple times. Nor did the PNC agents warn me of that. Now I have TWO -  {$36.00} ( NSF ) Fees on my account TWO bounced checks and ONE bill that still has n't been paid. Now I 'm entirely irritated that this bank representative had ZERO understanding of her own job and that she 's allowed to manipulate customers into paying more fees. She should have known the check # XXXX had the ability to be sent thru again in just a few short days, allowing me to keep my money within the account to successfully complete the payment. She NEVER explained why she was waiting 24hrs to close my account. She also neglected to notify me that my account was overdrawn or that the check had been attempted once more apon the " attempt '' of closing my account XXXX XXXX.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had an end of lease inspection and was told by the inspector there would be an {$85.00}. cost for damage. I had time to get any repairs done if the cost would have been more than that. I knew that there was damage to the front bumper that was close to the ground, but was told that was expected since it had no protection like many cars have and is easy to bump into parking lot cement curbs. I could have had the repair done for an estimated {$75.00} if I had known I was going to be charged an excessive amount after turning in the leased car. My mileage was way below the allowance and the car was in excellent condition. 
A few weeks later I received a bill for {$330.00} which was excessive. I called the customer service number and was told they would review my complaint and get back to me which they never did. I was told these repairs I was charged were probably not done, as the car would be sold at auction as is. This is a dishonest practice that I feel should be stopped. I do n't want to pay these unreasonable charges, that were deceptive and unreasonable. Please help me with this.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Equifax " security incident '' resulted in their offer to provide their TrustedID Premier security monitoring service for one year at no charge. 
When I attempted to take advantage of their offer to safeguard my information that THEY put at risk, they required even MORE confidential information as a requirement to enroll. Not only did they require my personal email address and social security number, but they also wanted my personal cell phone number. 

I called their support line ( XXXX ) seeking assistance in waiving the phone number requirement. I phrased it as a general question, but " XXXX '' ( sic ) wanted my email address and full SSN! " This call is being recorded, so it is safe. ", she said. Are you kidding me? Obviously, no information is safe with them. I am surely not going to give that kind of information over the phone to a call center employee! 

Equifax is making things worse by requiring even more personal information. Is there any thing that you are doing to make it easier for victims of the incident to enroll? 

Just curious : Is there any way to force Equifax to purge their files of all of my personal information?
