Complaint narrative:
This money wire/digital wallet company forces users to provide all their personal and bank info e.g. Social Security #, DOB, account & credit card numbers etc. All of which they claim is used to " verify '' your identity. However, they are now using unethical delay tactics with no rhyme or reason to prevent users from trading in their Bitcoin ( digital currencies ) into dollars. One of those tactics is locking people outside their accounts by claiming the system does not recognize their devices. This happened to me except I know for a fact I have used the same computer to login countless times with no problem until now ; ever since the price of Bitcoin has risen ( today : XXXX XXXX 2017 ).

Complaint narrative:
Hello, we are having challenges with Synchrony Bank/JCP ( the Mastercard company for JC Penney ).
The have charged unauthorized *Card Security Fees of {$30.00} per month* for 78 months. ( approximately {$2300.00} ) We have only just discovered this. The total of the fees exceeds the amount we owe the company. Synchrony/JCP says they will investigate and it may take up to two weeks. 

**Additionally we have paid interest fees as a result of these card security fees. We believe the fees have cause us to pay unnecessary interest. 

When we called the number associated with the fees they say they have " no enrollment in the system '' under this account number or name.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
This is about the American Express ( The XXXX XXXX Card ).  This is probably the card that I owned for the least period time ( a  year or so and currently already terminated ). I only used it a few times ( probably less than 10 times ). I have called their customer service many many times for the recent at least 6 months. 

It started with somehow they would n't let you set up auto pay while gave you wrong information that let you believed the auto pay was set up successfully. You did n't pay attention, thought everything was all set. When you finally found it out, it was too late and they already charged you for the late fees and interests and kept accumulating. Then you called them back and had them resolved the issue ( you were told ), but they did nothing actually. However they were telling you that they waived your fee and again helped you set up the auto pay - all set was told. Meanwhile, they kept charging you cumulatively. After so many contacts of their customer service, I finally paid the fees and thought this headache was gone ... but found they were still charging you. Called again many times, one time were told the supervisor would call me back in 24 hours ... never did. the last time were told again this was resolved and the fees were all removed ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Then the bill came again .... I called back today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) with the customer service representative 's name and id who I spoke with last time and who told me it was all resolved with fees all removed. Only were told there was no record of this calling!!! Then again telling me they will have supervisor review the case and call me back. When asked for time frame, I was told it could be days, weeks, months or years. Basically no time frame they could provide. My credit score were 800+ ( not sure because of them if I lost any points ). I never had any problems with any other credit card companies except American Express. The current amount they 're charging me is {$79.00}. Even though it is not a big amount but it 's very wrong!! And, I did pay them fees and interest once already even though I do n't believe I should be charged for that. Because I just did n't want to deal with this anymore, But it was not successful to stop them charging me even more. This is become a torture to me.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I received a Notice of Default and Notice of Intent to Foreclose via USPS from ( SLS ) on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX. I have questions and concerns about the actions that are being taken concerning my mortgage. I was not aware that a Servicer ( SLS ) can foreclose on your home if you have applied for a modification, and I havent heard or received anything in the mail on the status of the modification. Can you please clarify this matter for me?
Let it be noted that on XX/XX/XXXX I applied for another loan modification due to me not getting the other papers notarized in a timely manner which was a result of me being out of town at the hospital ( XXXX ) with my daughter. In your letter that was sent to me, it stated that if missed the deadline to reapply, and thats exactly what I did. So, I sent in another complete application with a letter attached explaining why I was reapplying, and I listed that I included two recent bank statements, a recent pay stub, and the XXXX in the packet all of which had the loan number on each of the documents and these were the same exact items that I had to submit before.
