Complaint narrative:
Hello I like to file a complaint about Discover Card. 

I received a letter from discover card saying Im pre-approved for a personal loan for {$28000.00}. Next day I called Discover Card and they asked me what the money is for I advised them I was trying to pay off my other high interest credit cards and just have 1 payment every month. They asked me how much I owe I said {$25000.00} then they asked how much I make and I told them {$50000.00} and they said anyone in the house hold I said yes my husband and they asked how much does he make I said {$120000.00} they said I am approved. Then they asked me to send them pay stubs I did. My husband pay stub was showing {$93000.00} but then I called them and said no his XXXX shows {$100000.00} because he gets bonus every year and its {$100000.00} they asked me to send his XXXX so I did, I got a phone call 2 days after that they said sorry you dont qualified. My issue is I didnt want and hard pull on my credit and the agent insured me that its not a hard pull until the loan is approved so here I am with no loan to pay off my other credit card and I have an extra inquiry on my credit report. I asked them to give me a smaller loan they said they are sorry and they cant help me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
The account has been dilquent past the 7 year mark. I allegedly opened this account as a student for a student loan. I believe this was predatory lending because I was under the impression that all my loans were under the Department of Education. The representative at Bank of America stated that this loan was based on my income and when I asked what income I wasnt working she couldnt provide any information. At the time I did not know what I was signing and was misled by Bank of America. In addition this loan was sold by XXXX Bank of America to another department in Bank of America in XXXX but has been dilenquent since XXXX. I asked the company to show proof that I made a payment which ai didnt because I didnt recall the loan intitally because I thought all of my loans were all in consolidation. The account is still on my credit report and it should n't be.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I had a verified phone number on my Coinbase account. I added 2FA ( two factor authentication ) using XXXX XXXX. Everything was working fine. 

Then, for security reasons, on XXXX XXXX, I removed my phone number from my account. I only wanted to use XXXX 2FA for security. 

Now, when I try to buy/sell, Coinbase requires me to add a phone number. When I do, I never receive the SMS code and thus can not verify my phone number and can not buy/sell. Customer Support is not responding. I am thusly unable to get access to my existing Litecoins to sell and can not buy any new cyptotokens.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For two months now, my debit card continually is denied despite availability of funds in my primary account. Wells Fargo has stated repeatedly that the issue is 'on their side ' and each and every call to customer care ( there have been 7 calls ) I am told they 'refresh the card ' and that the problem is fixed on their end -- except it is not. My card is rejected at point of sale, at ATM, and online. When I ask a business or service to 'please re-run the card ' -- 50 % of the time the transaction will go through. 
Wells Fargo finally sent me a replacement card and stated it would solve the problem -- it did n't. At first Wells Fargo stated that again, on their side, the card was refreshed and that I should n't have any problems. I even drove to an ATM with them on the phone to prove that the card would not work. 
I have filed a complaint with Wells Fargo but nothing get 's done. I have escalated. All they will do is tell me that they are 'doing what they can on their side ' but yet nothing is getting fixed. 
For 2 months now I have difficulty in getting MY money and using my card. Wells Fargo has failed to take my issue seriously or match my sense of urgency.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A couple years ago I was loosing my house I had a first and a second. I did a modification with a young man i cant remember his name. I was verbally told that the first would be modified and that the bank erased my second. I have not paid on the second for years, I 100 % thought that the second was erased because I have not received ANY paper or call or anything about that second ever since the modification. Well recently i got my self in trouble again and I was working with a Real estate agent, he told me we needed to do shortsale so I submitted my paperwork. After a few months XXXX came back and responded that they denied the shortsale because the property had equity and that the balance was XXXX Just like the modification had mentioned. So I decided to sell the house like a normal person would. Well when escrow was looking into the file they asked XXXX regarding the XXXX. XXXX took days and even couldnt find the loan. Finally they gave me payoff for the first and then gave me a payoff for the second. I could n't believe it, I have not heard a peep about the second at all and now XXXX comes out stating that they found the XXXX. I think its odd since the attached modification paperwork states my new loan balance and I was told by the lender that my second was wiped out. Evidence that they have not made contact in years regarding the second and it doesnt even show up in my credit report! Well I didnt know who to contact since XXXX sounds lost when i call them they couldnt even find the second on their system until days later or weeks in the case of the short sale.

Complaint narrative:
A company called XXXX XXXX is not providing me with validation that I owe them any money. They are reporting that I have an unpaid debt with them of {$600.00} but I have never done business with them and I have never received any letters or notices from them. The account number from Convergent on my credit is : " XXXX ''. This is the second collection company within the past year to try and collect this same exact sum of money from me. Another company called XXXX XXXX XXXX is also currently working trying to collect {$600.00} but they have a different account number. XXXX XXXX 's account number is # XXXX. How can it be possible for two collection companies to try and collect on the same debt? Is n't this illegal? Also, why did XXXX XXXX not send me a notice of my right to dispute this debt before they reported it to my credit? I 've done some research online and I have only come across negative reviews and complaints by other consumers who have been harassed and scammed by these two companies. There is a 97 % negative review rating and over 923 consumer complaints listed on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website for XXXX XXXX! I will not give my money to a company I do not recognize and who will not tell me why they want me to pay them.
