Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Good morning. 

I have an American Express XXXX card since 2000. This past month, American Express closed my account without any proper notification causing my credit score to drop by 20-50 points. I found this out that my card had been cancelled, when I noticed my card had expired and I had not received a new card and I called up American Express, I was informed my only options were to apply for a new credit card. this would in turn have a negative impact on my credit score. 

Thank you

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021, I received a notification from XXXX that I had an updated address submitted to my account. When I checked my credit report, Chase had submitted their own address, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX as a personal address for me. 

Upon calling multiple times on XX/XX/2021 for Chase to resolve this issue and find out how and why this happened, all I'm told is that the credit department that handles those things is not taking calls for at least 4 weeks. 

Having Chase 's business address reported as my personal information is a major issue they refuse to acknowledge or fix. I have filed a dispute with XXXX, however Chase has violated my privacy rights, in my opinion, and needs to be held accountable.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/21 I tried to access an amount of money owed to me thru PayPal. I have done business thru PayPal for 2 years, and have paid PayPal with a Credit Card ( they have on file ), and have received funds due me via a check from PayPal. In attempting to get a check for {$55.00} in my PayPal account, the site would not allow me get a check, I then called PayPal customer service and was told I needed to give PayPal a Bank Name and Bank Account #, I asked why as I had always received a check ( which PayPal attached a service charge to ), the representative said that it was still needed to send me a check, I asked to speak to speak to a supervisor, who said the same. I refuse to give PayPal this sensitive info, especially since I never had to do this prior, as well as PayPal has been hacked at least once, and I have had 10 " phishing '' emails regarding purchases at PayPal, which I reported to PayPal. I was told the only other way was to get a PayPal Debit card, which of course has service charges! 

I then filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX ( see attached ) on XX/XX/21. The XXXX received a response from PayPal and XXXX emailed me resolution on XX/XX/21, in which PayPal admitted their error. I then emailed PayPal asking for disposition, to which a person by the name of " XXXX '' a PayPal Customer Service Manager emailed stating I should have my funds by XX/XX/21. On XX/XX/21 I emailed the PayPal Executive Office regarding disposition and to this date ( XX/XX/21 ) have received no response. Well the mail has already been delivered today ( XX/XX/21 ) and still NO check!

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a mortgage with PHH Mortgage. This loan was in my name and my ex husband 's name. During our divorce the title was signed over to me, but his name remained on the loan because the house was underwater and I could not get his name removed or refinance the loan. There was an impounds account for the taxes and insurance. When the home sold, there was a balance of {$6000.00} owed to me from this impounds account. I received a check for this amount made out to my ex husband and myself. I was unable to cash this check as it is a two party check and we do not share a bank account anymore. I called PHH and was told that I would receive a check made out in my name only as PHH had a copy of the divorce decree and the transfer of title signed by my ex when he signed the house over to me. 

I never received this check and called again. Once again I was told that they had the information they needed to issue a check in my name only. Another month went by and I called PHH again. I was told I need to get my ex husband to write a letter to them releasing the funds to me and he has to have it notarized. I have never received any communication from PHH on this matter at all. They have had my money for over 3 months now. The home sold in XXXX and I am being told that they will research it and get back to me. Because of the holiday it will be another couple of weeks before they said they will call me back. I was not even given the address to send in a letter to. This is not a priority for my ex husband and we do not have a good relationship, I do not know if I will be able to get him to write a letter and get it notarized. He shouldn't have to do that anyway. There are legal documents showing that the home was signed over to me in the divorce. PHH has all of these documents on file. They even have documentation showing that my ex was very difficult when I was trying to work out a loan modification a few years ago. 

I fail to see how a notarized letter from my ex would supersede court documents showing that the home was titled to me. The title company did not have an issue with the court documents and I received the proceeds from the sale with no issue. PHH has been holding my money and made no attempt to contact me or my ex in regards to these funds at all.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
For the past 2 months I have attempted to change ( increase ) my autopay on Synchrony 's website, however, after inputting all required information as requested, and reading the terms and conditions that state that you must accept these, the website does not provide an accept or decline button to accept the terms and conditions, thus no submit option is made available and the ONLY way to change the autopay is by calling customer service. This seems like a very unfair and deceptive act or practice that Synchrony is doing to their consumers. 
I did not receive an immediate email confirming my oral agreement to change the autopay amount either.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
While traveling in XXXX for vacation, my Citi premier card got lost/stolen and was used to make purchases at different locations here in XXXX. I called Citibank customer service/ fraud department to immediately report the transactions as fraud but the answer I received was that I should wait until someone from Citibank could contact me. A week later nobody has contacted me and after several attempts to reach out a representative to ask for help the only answer I was given is that I need to wait up to 2 months for them to carry out an investigation. 

Now, the charges are posted to my account making my current balance increase, and they do not offer a temporary credit to remove these transactions from my total balance while they investigate these transactions. In the end, this is hurting my credit score since I am in the middle of a home refinancing process and my credit report will be pulled to be considered for this transaction. 

PLEASE HELP!!!
