Consumer complaint received 2017-09-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I attempted to access www.citicards.com to pay my credit card bill with Citibank. I 've paid my bill this way for a number of year. My account with Citibank has been closed a number of years, dating back to when I refused to agree to an interest rate increase. When I input my log in information into the website I received a message that my identity needed to be verified via phone call or by " another way ''. I selected the telephone call and waited for the call to come in for around 10 minutes. In this time I did not receive a call. I then attempted to log in again and this time selected the verify my identity another way option. That option landed me on a page that instructed me to call customer service. I called customer service and spent close to 45 minutes on the call before being informed that I could n't access my account online because I had a closed account. They offered no explanation as to why I 've had online access with a closed account for years and it suddenly was cancelled. I was told that I could register my online account if I had the physical credit card. I informed the customer service agent that I no longer had the card since the account had been closed for years and asked if she could provide my full account number to me. She refused citing security reasons. I am left with a situation in which a creditor has knowingly and against my wishes removed online access to my account. This makes it much more difficult for me to remit payment to them in a timely manner. I believe this action was taken to increase the likelihood that I will miss a payment or have a payment arrive late. Then they would have the opportunity to charge me late fees and increase my interest rate. This is a clear violation of UDAAP in my eyes. There is not logical business sense to cancelling an account holders online access outside of hoping it leads to increase in missed or late payments and ultimately more fee and interest income for Citibank.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Chase bank bought my mortgage right before I was to pay it off.
My wife died the financial crisis was on and Chase sent me a bill to my address for a different house. They claimed they owned my mortgage but I told them it was the wrong mortgage. The amount i owed was wrong, the id number was wrong. I made double payments the first two years of the loan, we had payed it down to {$50000.00}. So 9 years ago they said I owed more than {$15000.00} by more than double. I tried to refinance several years ago to get some money out so they could fix their error but they gave the money to themselves so I cancelled the refinance. but they went on with it like I didnt refinance the house. last year they started double withdrawing even if i paid it externally. The chase bank representative said to let the automatic withdraw remove the money. So I listened to him. Then I noticed that they were n't auto withdrawing. They said it was paid off at another Chase Bank so I thought they corrected the error. No they started sending me letters from a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Saying I owed them {$40000.00}. No way I would owe them less than {$5000.00}. Ive called them several times, they keep asking about a credit card. I put a stipulation 6 years ago that I could never have a credit card because a false application came across, now they are saying Im owing for a credit card I gave them instructions not to allow, so they refuse to talk to me about my mortgage. And now they are foreclosing on my house. I think its because Im a veteran. please help!

I demand that they rectify this by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected. They did not notify anyone quickly enough moreover and expect me to pay to freeze my credit on account of a mess up on Equifax 's end..

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
This is a general complaint about Equifax 's offer of " complimentary identity theft protection and credit file monitoring '' to consumers impacted by its data breach. 

Several pages on Equifax 's website describe the service as " complimentary. '' Yet the Equifax browsewrap Terms of Use include a class action waiver. 

It is not clear from the website whether enrolling in the identity theft protection program constitutes agreement to the Terms of Use. The relevant language in the terms of use states : " BY REGISTERING ON THIS SITE AND SUBMITTING YOUR ORDER, YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF, AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY, THIS AGREEMENT. YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY USING OR PAYING FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR TAKING OTHER ACTIONS THAT INDICATE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. '' http : //www.equifax.com/terms/ If Equifax considers consumers affected by its identity breach to have agreed to its Terms of Use by registering for identity theft protection, then that protection is not " complimentary. '' Consumers registering for it have paid a possibly high price by forgoing the opportunity to be members of a class action. The descriptions " complimentary '' would then be both deceptive and abusive.
