Consumer complaint received 2023-09-06 00:00:00
Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: Universal Account Servicing, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Payment for the outstanding balance ( {$3300.00} ) on the loan was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX, via check ( # XXXX ). This was expected to arrive no later than XX/XX/XXXX according to the USPS XXXX expectation for first class mail delivery. 

For some unknown reason, XXXX Account Servicing did not deposit this check until XX/XX/XXXX. This was 9 days after it was mailed. I was then charged {$1300.00} because the payment was processed after the promotional date of XX/XX/XXXX. The circumstances which led to this delay is highly unusual. This could have resulted from a number of issues totally outside of my control but under yours, such as delays in processing mail at your office location or a deliberate delay. 

I called your office on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a supervisor. His focus was on what evidence I had that it was received before the deadline. Do I have a signed receipt showing someone in your company received it? I do have circumstantial evidence check # XXXX was written on the XXXX along with check # XXXX which was dated XX/XX/XXXX. I dated # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX because I needed to add money to the account which I did XX/XX/XXXX. However, I mailed it Sunday XX/XX/XXXX to arrive on time. 

Evidence is not one sided - My question to you is what evidence do you have that it was mailed late? The envelope you received had a postmark. That is the evidence you would need to prove it was mailed late. 

Even if there was an unusual delay in your local postal system it is customary to waive fees and not play what evidence do you have game because it points to unethical business practices. 

I am including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Please provide the evidence ( postmarked envelope ) that the check was mailed out late to justify your charges. If you can not provide it then you have no evidence, and it points to a deliberate delay in processing with a self-serving interest. Please remove this debt from my account and close it.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My fianc and I closed our smallbusiness at the end of XXXX. So in the last week of XXXX ( XXXX ), I went to my neighborhood Chase branch and asked for them to close all my accounts affiliated with my business. This included my business checking account and credit card. The manager of the branch kindly helped me and confirmed that all accounts were closed after calling corporate to close them. From then on, I did not receive any professional notifications about my accounts until in XX/XX/XXXX I checked my credit score and saw it dropped over XXXX points. I called chase worried about fraud only to find out my credit card was reopened because companies like XXXX and XXXX accidentally renewed our contract. Due to that my bill went two months unpaid and the credit card went delinquent. Chase was able to refund all late fees and dispute the charges ( which we won ), but unfortunately my credit score would not be able to be fixed. I asked the branch to give me a letter saying it was a banking error and they kept leading me on and directing to different people, branches and corporate departments. The only message I ever received from Chase involving my business account was a text message that said your business credit card needs action. It did not mention Chase nor did it come from their text message line so I ignored it thinking it was spam ( especially since were warned of targeted messages like this and I was under the impression my account was closed ). I would like to get their attention to please fix my credit. I took the necessary immediate actions to resolve this including reaching out to credit bureaus like XXXX. Chase has not been helpful to revert the score and this is not the first story Ive heard like this.
