Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On my previous statement balance I had made multiple payments that I believed were in excess of my balance. Due to my error they were not the full balance and I was charged interest. I then had a new statement issued on XX/XX/year>, interest charged that day and also made a payment that day and another one about XXXX weeks later. I called to ask for the residual statement balance and they informed me they are unable to calculate. I asked how I can avoid paying interest and they told me to pay what I feel is appropriate. I stated that doesnt make sense and likely would leave with interest XXXX XXXX despite having the means to pay my residual statement balance. They continually told me there was nothing they could do ( first person then XXXXanager ). I then asked to speak with another manager and was told they would call me after my payment due date. I informed them this was unacceptable however they would not provide other information. I am left with an unclear idea of how much to pay without avoid interest or to pay my entire balance in full and not just the residual statement balance. Given Wells Fargo history of predatory practices I feel that they are continuing to be predatory in disclosing necessary information to customers which results in unnecessary interest.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am an authorized user of the Bank of America credit card ending in XXXX. I am reaching out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for legal assistance regarding a distressing situation I have encountered with Bank of Americas handling of my claim. 

On XX/XX/year>, I opened a dispute concerning a transaction with a merchant, XXXX XXXX, for a XXXX XXXX experience that went awry. The details of the claim are as follows : - **Claim ID : ** XXXX - **Claim Amount : ** {$5900.00} - **Claim Opened : ** XX/XX/year> Approximately a month ago, I presented Bank of America with sufficient and reasonable documentation supporting my request for a refund. The issues began when I initially booked my stay on the cruise ship, only to later discover that the room was no longer available and that I would have to accept a downgraded accommodation. The merchant informed me that while a refund for the initial booking was promised, securing a new room would necessitate an immediate additional payment. As such, I used my XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( ending in XXXX ) to pay for the downgraded room. 

Despite my attempts to secure a refund from XXXX XXXX, I have received no response to my numerous inquiries. However, after the dispute was initiated with Bank of America, I finally received acknowledgment from the merchant that they were reviewing my issue. I provided Bank of America with all relevant communications and evidence, yet my dispute was inexplicably closed in favor of XXXX XXXX  without a thorough investigation into the matter. 

I find Bank of Americas handling of my claim to be unprofessional and negligent. It is concerning that they closed my dispute without adequately considering the evidence presented. As a result, I am left without the funds owed to me. 

I am now seeking legal advice and assistance from the CFPB regarding this matter. I believe it is crucial for financial institutions to uphold their obligations to investigate customer disputes fairly and thoroughly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance on the steps I can take to resolve this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to have verified this. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 
As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/XXXX  in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date : XX/XX/year> To : Credit Reporting Agency Subject : Request for Removal of Unveriable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-o for {$49000.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unveriable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year> According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and veriable. Since XXXX has removed this account after its verication process, I request that you do the same and remove this unveriable account from my credit report. 
Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unveriable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit le. I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unveriable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unveriable and removed it, you must take similar action. 
Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unveriable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide conrmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including XXXX a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non-compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this request. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
For the last few years, my personal information has been leaked from several corporations, which they called a data breach. Lately, someone has stolen my personal info and used it for their personal gain. I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to ensure the maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish.

The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account.
