Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I reporte d Portfolio Recovery bo th here & to the FTC on  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX  , yet 2 months later, they continue to call constantly anyway. They call daily, sometimes several times a day, using differing phone numbers making blocking these creeps nearly impossible. I have read that this company is a collection agency that fraudulently tries to colle ct debts that are not owed. They purchase accounts that have already been paid, settled or discharged by  bankruptcy and illegally attempt to collect a debt that is not owed to them or anyone. I fully believe this because I DO NOT HAVE  XXXX  SINGLE ACCOUNT PAST DUE! Until recently, I only had  XXXX  very lo w balance credit  card that has NEVER, EVER BEEN LATE, so they HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CAUSE TO BE CALLING ME! I have repeatedly verbally asked the Portfolio Recovery to stop calling me yet they CONTINUE TO CALL! I have asked nicely and I have told them angrily to stop calling!!! THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE MY REQUESTS. I dont understand how they continue to get away with this illegal behavior. I will be having  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  next week. If these phone calls continue and disturb me while I am trying to recuperate, I will BE CONTACTING A LAWYER! I am repeating this complaint to the FTC as well. I do not have an account number to provide and I WILL NOT provide my SSN so these frauds can use it for further illegal activity.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Opened a few investigations in negative credit reporting of ninety days late. Response from loan servicer only responds stating " information reported was accurate, borrower did not request forbearance until XXXX XXXX, 2017 ' This in absolutely NO WAY provides a response to the information presented. I understand that forbearance was not requested until XX/XX/XXXX because I had no clue that I was in repayment until XX/XX/XXXX. The statements were being sent to the XXXX University email address that I no longer had access to. Not being properly notified of a statement, especially when the repayment first begins is a valid reason for correction with all XXXX credit bureaus. I could not have put my account on e-statements because I just created an account with XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The issue is that if I had been made aware of the repayment start in a manner accessible to me, I would never have needed forbearance. Continuing to deny and stating the information is accurate is not providing a response to the issue that caused the problem and the agency refuses to correct their mistake.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I was sent an of fer by American Express for a Delta Skymiles Gold Card i n  XXXX   2017 . I have had this card before but had cancelled due to high annual fee. I applied on-line and was approved immediately. My card came in the mail within a week.     This offer included first year free plus  XXXX  miles after reaching spend amount of {$3000.00} in first 3 months.     After I reached the spend level, I called to find out when my miles would be credited. I actually called twice because they were n't showing up. I was finally told I needed to wait 90 days. I continued to use the card and have spent close to {$8000.00} since enrolling.   The 90 days came and went but still no miles.     I called the company again but this time was told since I had the card before I was n't eligible for the bonus miles. They informed me that this was disclosed in the terms and conditions. I did not see that when I went thru the application process and informed them that regardless why had n't I been told this earlier by anyone I talked to. They informed me that the agents probably did n't look into that level of detail on your account.     I feel like this was misrepresentation and deceptive advertising. I would not have applied for the card or minimally would have stopped usage had any of the agents informed me about this. I feel they let me continue to spend and only informed me when I pressed about the miles.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
This is an addendum to the complaint already filed on this same subject and is further explained in the attachment.     SPS has responded to the last complaint, and again has allowed  XXXX  to convince them that the force-placed insurance amounts they stole from my account in  XXXX  of  XXXX  and  XXXX  of  XXXX  were valid. My bank statement clearly shows that I had paid this insurance premium in  XXXX  of  XXXX , and  XXXX  had been properly informed of this by my insurance company. However, they still pulled over {$2300.00} from my account in  XXXX  of  XXXX  and again in  XXXX  of  XXXX  and those funds were never placed back in my account.     They also responded that the illegal and unauthorized and unjustified charges totaling {$3800.00} were allowed charges related to bankruptcy and foreclosure. These charges occurred between the dates of  XXXX  of  XXXX  through  XXXX  of  XXXX . THERE WAS NO FORECLOSURE OR BANKRUPTCY IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH ME OR THIS LOAN AS OF THOSE DATES! Even the default date on this loan was not until  XXXX  or  XXXX  of  XXXX , so I guess we 're supposed to believe that  XXXX  was psychic and went ahead and started assessing charges 4 years prior to my default to apply toward my foreclosure?     But the addendum sent to  SPS  yesterday also includes the fact that, according to the payment records provided by  XXXX  or SPS, the first payment I made to the previous servicer,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , was never applied to my account. That is detailed in the attached letter and supported by the attached documentation.
