Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
i have been in correspondence with bank of america for about a month and a half now trying to resolve this matter. I have been a victim of identity theft and bank of america continues to hold me accountable for fraudulent transactions that occurred with my checking account ending in XXXX. I will be attaching my ftc identity theft affidavit that i filled. To my understanding their are federal laws in place for banks to protect consumers funds that are in their bank account. Bank of america is willingly ignoring the laws that are in place for consumers they have sent me a letter stating that the transactions where authorized but they wouldn't respond to my letter when i asked how where they authorized by me they could not show any proof like i requested to determine the transactions where authorized by me. As i explained to XXXX a boa representative with the internet today nobody 's information is safe it's to easy to access peoples information these days and it's alot of identity theft going on i do not want to be held accountable for something i haven't benefited from thank you.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to US Bank regarding an account showing on my credit profile. The account has a balance of {$170.00} and I would like to pay the account in full. Every month, this accounts reports as 90 days delinquent, completely destroying any hopes for rebuilding my credit portfolio. 

In a hot potato phone style, I was finally passed along to a manager in the recoveries department. The manager advised she was unable to accept my payment as " Mississippi State law limits how long I can be sued on a debt ''. I asked for clarity and why it has continued to be reported every month as 90 days past due if legally they can not accept my payment. She advised she was unable to do anything and provided the numbers to all three Credit Bureaus. I reached out to XXXX and they advised they can not do anything and the account will fall off in XX/XX/2022.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to report that my former bank, Chase Bank refused to investigate the evidence / supporting documents I have about a transaction that shouldnt have been applied to my account. Chase reported me to credit Bureaus as delinquent. 
Here are the facts : On XX/XX/2020, I booked a flight from Washington, DC XXXX ( XXXX ) to XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ). The flight was scheduled for XX/XX/2020. I paid for my flight ticket using Chase Credit Card the amount of {$700.00} on XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, due to the corona virus pandemic, the XXXX XXXX published a list of countries that are not allowed to visit XXXX and USA was one of them. Americans were banned from travelling to XXXX. 
The travel agency and the airlines both absolutely refused to refund my ticket, even though it was completely useless! 
While I was stranded overseas, I contacted Chase twice via online banking to dispute the transaction. 
I contacted Chase Bank to file the dispute via the online platform they set up for this reason. The was a limited number of spaces to explain my concern. There was no way to upload any documents and the only other way to contact Chase was to sending them a fax or give them a phone call while I was stranded overseas with limited access to technology. I left messages on the Chase bank platform and requested an email address where I could contact them. I also requested to have the result of their dispute sent to my email because I did not have a physical address in USA at the time. I was overseas for 7 months. 
Chase ignored my requests repeatedly. I managed to make an overseas phone call and contact the bank ; however, they keep ignoring my request and saying that my documentation had not been sent. ( Please see attached copy of the documents that I have ). 
While I was overseas trying to contact Chase regarding the dispute I had filed, Chase was trying to contact me regarding payment. There should not have been a payment, this charge should never have been processed. 
One month ago, when I came back to USA I went to a Chase Bank branch and they called the credit card branch. I was told that they can not open this dispute again because its too late! Basically, the information I have provided has been ignored. 
I am still disputing this transaction and therefore I am asking that any item or information reported by Chase Bank to Credit Bureaus be removed from my account until true diligence can be performed.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I attempted to use the Experian website to unfreeze my credit report. The Experian website generated a 10 digit " PIN '' that I was to give to the company that wanted to look at my credit report. I have not given the company both the 10 digit " PIN '' and the 6 digit number to allows me to track the unfreeze number. Neither number works per the company. Since Experian does not publish a phone number for resolving this number AND Experian requires me to create an account to attempt to resolve this issue I am unable to grant access to my credit report to the company requesting access. 

I have previously created an account with Experian and since the website the password is incorrect I am unable to login. Since I can not call Experian resolve the password issue I am unable to login. Kind of a catch 22 here. 

I do not want to create another account with Experian nor with CFPB. Call or email me directly to resolve these issues.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, the office of Federal Student Aid began providing the following temporary relief on ED-owned federal student loans : suspension of loan payments, stopped collections on defaulted loans, and a 0 % interest rate, retroactive to XX/XX/XXXX as I recall. 

Despite 0 % and no payments required, I have been paying each month since then. Despite my instructions, Great Lakes Student Loans has failed to apply my extra payments to the principal balance. They claim that they can only apply payments to interest until all interest is paid. This is in direct contradiction with what I have heard from you and from them when I have called in the past. They have applied some of my extra payments ( made prior to this past year ) to prinicpal when I included the extra payment in the autopay cycle. 

I believe they are acting in bad faith and refusing to apply my extra payments to the principal as they should because they never want me to be able to pay off this loan. I took out the original loans in XXXX with DOE via XXXX, 6 loans for a total of $ XXXX. Before I even graduated those loans were sold 2x and again 2x after I graduated. This meant my interest was capitalized ( and my principal balance mushroomed ) before I was even in repayment. I fully paid off 2 of the 6 loans right away, though it appears XXXX illegally kept those loans open with {$1.00} and {$37.00} balances. XXXX I was duped into consolidating onto the PAYE play with a fraudulent and now defunct company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Despite paying since XXXX, and paying well all the real principal, I still owe 120 % of what I borrowed to to shady practices of servicers like this XXXX. 

I want them to do the right thing and apply the extra payments I have made from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX to my principal balance. Should they fail to do so, I will have no choice but to pursue any and all legal avenues open to me. 

Thank you

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
This has been an ongoing issue for almost XXXX year now. Around AXX/XX/2020, my debit card with Wells Fargo had been compromised. I immediately called and reported all of the fraud charges. I also noted multiple times that I have not received any new cards nor was I able to log on to my online account. My email address and phone number had been changed on my account and I was not able to view any updates. I mentioned this issue to every single agent I spoke to and only one was sure to make a report and note it. I was informed by the fraud department that a police report was necessary for this case. I tried to send this report to Wells Fargo multiple times. One agent even told me my police report was denied and they did not even want to look at it. How does it make sense to ask for a police report and then deny it? I tried to speak directly wit h the agents that were in charge of my case, but had no luck. First, I was told my case needed to be sent to a manager or supervisor and I would get a callback. Nobody EVER called me back. Also, I explained multiple times that my email and phone number were not correct and to update my profile. Later, the agent explained that all updates were being sent to the fraudulent contact information on the account. I tried to work with Wells Fargo in every way that I could, but there is no hope anymore. I even contacted the merchants that were associated with the fraud and e very single one said they were unable to help and that my bank should take care of this issue. All of the fraud charges have a total of around {$8000.00}. This is a large sum of money and I should not be held liable for these fraudulent transactions. I would like my money back asap. I have been lied to and treated like a piece of garbage going back and forth with this terrible bank.
