Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan — 
Company: PRIORITY PLUS FINANCIAL LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a pre-approval letter from Priority Plus Financial for a personal loan. I called the number they provided and gave them the pre-approval code. After providing them my personal information to apply I was denied for the loan. When I inquired about why I was denied I was never given a straight answer, and they also misread my credit report and quoted things to me that were inaccurate. I spoke with XXXX and XXXX. During the call they indicated that my credit report showed I was currently in credit counseling ; however, I pointed out that I was never in credit counseling and that the account in question had been paid-off several years ago, to which they backtracked and realized they were wrong. XXXX also told me I had a public record on my credit report, and after I questioned her on this, she rescinded her statement and admitted there was no public record. She even admitted this wasn't the reason I was denied but she couldn't explain why she even brought it up in the first place. She mentioned my credit utilization was an issue, and also said she would look into options to ensure the loan proceeds would pay off the debt and lower the utilization, but I never got an answer on this either -- after putting me on hold she just transferred me back to XXXX, who then proceeded to try and steer me to a debt settlement service and even said it would have a bad impact on my credit, after I had already explained I was not interested in this service! The process was unnecessarily frustrating and they didn't seem to have any legitimate reasoning behind anything they were telling me. They also distributed my information to other loan companies, promising results, but no success here either and I didn't even apply to these companies! The whole process felt abusive and deceptive with no true intention of helping, and appeared to be an excuse to get my personal information and to try and steer me into a debt settlement service and charge me fees.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was charged a large amount by a vendor - an amount that is absolutely irregular for me and my spending habits. The merchant insisted that the charges were getting rejected, so they charged me three times on two cards. I saw the charges pending but they had gotten aggressive with me and I was legitimately concerned that I had not paid. This was suspicious to me, which is why I felt comfortable using my premium chase credit card ( chase sapphire reserve ). Well all three charges cleared. My other bank, XXXX, took care to understand the situation and investigate and found that the double charge was invalid. Chase, however, was unresponsive and provided no avenue or attention for hearing out the situation. After a long period of silence, I was notified the charge was determined valid. I called, and they told me I must write and mail a letter to open another dispute for the same charge. I did, and they credited it again. Then, after another long period of waiting and only one request for info ( a screenshot of the first transaction ), I get notified that the charge is valid with a letter and pictures of receipts from the vendor. The support in this letter from the merchant is so absurd that any reasonable consideration would have resulted in seeing it was blatantly nefarious acting from the merchant - forged signatures ( the first is legitimately mine, contrasting from the forged ones to follow ), adding very very small amounts to the second and third charges to make it seem like they're different ( {$1.00} and {$2.00} on a {$3400.00} base amount ). Worse, the reasoning chase provided suggested a misunderstanding - that they though I said i paid for that third charge with another card - but I did my best to convey through their form submission online that I was charged 3 times for one service rendered. I've tried calling twice, and both times I was met with rude personnel in the dispute department who didn't even take care to understand it and ignorantly insisted that I'm the one that's incorrect and there's nothing I can do. It feels as if whoever submitted the most support wins this twisted contest for my hard-earned {$3800.00}. 

It's obvious that this is an issue unique to Chase. My other bank was able to figure it out, and they couldn't even investigate to the point of understanding what happened before making the final, incorrect judgement for a meaningful amount of money. There's no point in having a premium credit card ( or bank to trust any of your money with ) if you can't feel comfortable using it.
