Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Please see the attached screenshots of the email Capital One emailed me on XX/XX/XXXX. This email contains the full scoop on how to receive the {$500.00} bonus. 

As per the fine print, I fulfilled the one and only requirement : Within the specified time frame, I made deposits from my XXXX XXXX  account and the sum of these deposits was at least {$50000.00}. 

The full details of the offer mentioned in the email under " Here 's the full scoop on how to earn your {$500.00} bonus '' do not cite any restriction limits on withdrawals nor does it mention a requirement of maintaining a specified balance for any period of time. XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I called Capital One. The representative told me I will not be receiving the {$500.00} bonus. 
On this call the reason this representative cited was that I did not fulfill the requirement of holding a balance of {$50000.00} for 90 days. I mentioned this email 's details and he said all Capital One offers have a requirement of holding a specified balance for 90 days. He is mistaken. This offer only has a requirement of deposits made over the promotion period must be at least {$50000.00}. There is no requirement of achieving a certain account balance or maintaining that account balance for a specified amount of time. I also have called Capital One about this incident before. I only recently found this proof of the offer as I state it by finding this email. That's why I made this call to Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX to see if this proof would get me the bonus. Capital One stood firm on the 90 day rule, which was not mentioned anywhere when I signed up.

Company: Account Services Collections, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with account listed under Account Services Collections. I requested a validation on XX/XX/XXXX as this was an account that I did not recognize as original owner is reflecting as XXXX XXXX XXXX which I have never been associated with. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX and account continues to reflect on my credit report, is not listed as disputed and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate this account as correctly belonging to me. Therefore on XX/XX/XXXX I sent a 2nd validation letter. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/XXXX and still no validation was received and no updates were made to my credit report. I do not believe this account is valid and correct as it does not belong to me nor that the creditor has authorization to attempt to collect on this account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that this account belongs to me and all information is correct.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am a public service employee who has been making continual payments for well over 10 years. I have been on the appropriate income based payment plan that entire time. FedLoan Servicing informed me last year that many of my payments didn't count, because I didn't make the exact payment each month. Example, my bill was {$300.00}, I paid {$400.00}, so the next bill that came via USPS was for {$200.00}. It stated that I owed {$200.00} for that month. I paid the {$200.00}. It didn't count as a full payment and I wasn't informed until I attempted to certify my employment. I understand rigid policy. The problem is that all it took to fix it was for a customer service rep to click a button making the pre-paid extra actually be accepted as prepayment of the next month. FedLoan chose to set the default as a way to guarantee that borrowers take longer to pay off or have the loan forgiven. This is a scam that is certainly affecting thousands of borrowers who are acting in good faith only to find out that the choice of a clicking a box by a customer service rep may have cost them years of additional payments.

Company: Valley Credit Service, Inc. (OR)
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX failed you work with me when I had card theft issues and ended up with a negative balance I couldnt afford to pay off at the time. I stipulated with them I would not be paying the overuse balance as my card had been stolen. They claimed the charges were valid and thus fast track a while into the future and on my XXXX  Credit Report I was hit with a collection from Valley Credit Services a debt collection agency whom opened the collections account on XX/XX/XXXX to the tune of {$850.00}. This ended up remaining on my report and after two years of attempting to resolve the situation I find on XX/XX/XXXX a duplicate account to the tune of an eerily similar {$840.00} had been added to the defaulted accounts and debt holdings section of my credit report. 
I filed a dispute shortly after via XXXX  for the Valley Credit Services duplicate account. They came to the conclusion somehow that in fact this meets FCRA requirements. Which to my kkowledgeI understand that a debt may somehow be sold from one debt consolidation company to the next over a period of time. But I only ever had one account with the original creditor and this only one debt account can be established for said debt. Not only has this been negatively impacting my credit score to the tune of around 20 points or so but if Im not mistaken ; under the fair debt collection laws it is illegal for this Valley Credit Services to keep reporting a disputed claim and somehow legitimize it to XXXX when there is literally two duplicate accounts for one original debt. I have done all I can to get this duplicate negative account mark removed to no avail. Please help me or provide me the information I need on where or how I may fix this problem. Thank you.
