I have been trying to help an elderly and handicapped woman out, who was intimidated into signing and paying for unauthorized repair work done on her car. By the way her car now has a constant service needs done light on. Was anything even done? When asked for all old parts, nothing was available. Even a special project of FL Attorney General believes she should get all her money back. They are fighting for her also. Chase gives us conflicting stories on what is happening. They are even making it hard for me to file a formal complaint in regards to how they are handling this dispute. I binded 85 pages together with a binder comb myself. I even kept an exact copy of what was sent to them. Yet they said only got 75 pages???? What happened to the other pages? Do they not want the truth? Why won't they want an affidavit of what I saw, heard and said? I do not understand their thought processes. I have also filed a formal complaint in regards to chase visa with AARP since it is on the card. I received my money back without so much effort. Why won't chase listen to the FL Attorney Generals office? I need to know if anyone else out there has any suggestions on what we can do, please.

In 2011 my husband's business had fallen on hard times. Our balance on our only credit card Chase was up to $5k and we were having trouble making the payments at the 29.99% interest rate. I called customer service and they offered to close the card and give zero percent interest if I had a set monthly payment taken from our checking account. I agreed as we hadn't used it and were just trying to pay off the balance anyway. The plan was to last a year and for the next two years I called to renew the plan and was paying extra installments. The balance was down to $1500 dollars. I knew the year was getting close and I planned to pay off the balance in the next couple months. Then I missed calling to renew by a couple days but had made monthly payments on my own anyway but $18 short.
When I called to renew they said I was too late and they had added back ALL the back interest and fees from the last three years totaling almost $1,300 and reinstated my 29.99% interest rate. Customer service was rude and said I had not upheld my contract (unwritten) with them. They also told me the plan did not exist anymore so they could not reinstate it. My statement clearly states that the plan they gave me didn't expire until 07/2017. I am livid. Imagine working for three years to diligently pay off the debt only to have all your efforts wiped out. Beware of Chase's efforts to "help". I feel they intended all along for me to fail their helpful plan.

Chase Credit Card Company recently mailed a letter requiring me to send SS# and complete a W-9 form... I called and spoke with two representatives about the need for this information. I have been a card holder for 21 years. I understand that a new applicant needs to identify themselves for a new account, however they have all of this information and more ex: my bank account information for payments and they know exactly who I am. I explained that I do not feel comfortable with sending this information to them and if I choose not to respond what would happen? Short answer: We will close your account! It seems that Patricia O. Baker, the Senior Vice President, cares nothing about the customer and only about showing the company how important she is to the company.
I explained to the representative that if Chase wants to sever ties with a 21 year long customer, spending on average $5,000.00 month with their Credit Card then that is their choice. I would love to know how much Patricia O. Baker, spent on paper, ink, electricity and postage to send this out and how many long term customers they are losing due to this? I bet the stock holders and corporate big shots may think that it was a waste of profits. Patricia O Baker, think about how you would feel if you were the consumer.

Just like many of you, they cancelled my card. I found out when I logged in to check my balance. A note at the top said they cancelled my card. This was after a 150.00 payment I just made. I was late in my payment, but have been late a few times before (I've had the card for 10 plus years...when it was under Providian). Although I was late in the past, they had never cancelled it. I believe there should be some law that states that credit card companies should give you the option of closing your account before they do. It's funny because I had this card for over 10 plus years and not once have they ever increased my credit limit. I'm glad to be done with this company. I only wish they gave me notice that they were planning to cancel my account, so I would have had the opportunity to close it myself. Another note on credit cards--it seems like a standard practice these days with credit card companies to lower your limit without notification to where you are just below your credit limit. Then, they lower your limit so low, and finally close your account.

On 11/4/14 I paid my balance down by 4,733.00. I just recently learned I was paying 27.24% APR on purchase and cash advances. I called and said I am closing the account on 11/17 what do I owe? The lady told me 230.91 as long as it posted before the due date of 11/24. It posted 11/21 and I got an email saying the balance, please destroy all cards. But as per the Nov. statement I owed 23.12 on 999.19 purchases and 5.14 on 221.98 cash advance on 11/27 even though the card was closed and paid off. I was never told I would owe more. The amount was paid and a complaint was filed with consumerfinance.gov 12/3. Last I knew I was paying 22.99%, I was NEVER told it changed to that high.

After moving into an assisted living facility in July, I added a family member to my account to do shopping for me. After waiting to receive his card, a call was made to Chase who said card had been mailed...did not arrive...another call and finally a card arrived. 4 months went by, my card was nearing expiration date...another call...rep insisted cards had been mailed in October...wrong. I was informed that my son was not on my account even though he had been using it since July...they would not admit error, closed my account, changed account #, sent email to confirm and had name incorrect... I plan to CANCEL account and never want to have dealings with Chase again. I wish that Amazon would sever relations with Chase.

This is the only credit card we've had since ID theft in 2004. Chase was very good to us. In August I mistakenly wrote "twelve" instead of "twelve hundred" on a check. In Sept, I rec'd letter about missed payment. I called, we figured it out, I paid total account balance. I didn't receive Oct statement (paid balance). Rec'd a Nov statement due. Two weeks later, I rec'd another letter stating I didn't pay. I called again, detailed all. Was told an Oct statement was issued whether I received it or not. The service rep was rude and condescending. In 10 years I have had no problems, yet since last Spring small issues. Makes me wonder if Chase has a new credit collection service. This feels like a scam to increase the collection department's profits making them look better to corporate. Corporate should look at how many have left. I did.

On Jan 26, I was a victim of a bait and switch with Safecart.com. I bought one service but the salesperson convinced me I needed a more expensive one. When told my credit card was not reading correctly, I immediately cancelled verbally and with an email. When my next bill from Chase arrived, there were 3 charges for $249.95 and one credit for $249.95. I called Chase Dispute Services and the other 2 charges were removed. In May I was rebilled for one of the charges without being informed that Safecart had put in a dispute. I was told by Chase to submit my dispute in writing with copies of my email to Safecart and their refund info. I received a letter from Chase that Safecart did indeed owe me another credit but Chase could not credit me until they got the $249.95 from Safecart.
I have called Chase numerous times and have always been told they would look into the matter but have never been contacted or have any of my calls returned. I finally reach a supervisor who said my case was closed with no explanation and I needed to resubmit all my information again. It was their error and I requested my account be credited $249.95 plus interest accrued. I cannot get any reason from Chase why this has not been settled and my account credited.

November 2014 we opened an Amazon Rewards Chase account. After a few days of us using it, our account was cancelled due to suspicious activity. We immediately called Chase customer service where we were then told that they were unable to access our account and that a member of the fraud team would be contacting us. A week has gone by and still no call. We then call back... 5 different times. Still no one knows what is going on in any department in their customer service center. No call back, no letter from Chase, nothing. We are left in the dark and they are explaining nothing to us and doing nothing for us or to help the situation.

Monday I got my Mileageplus club card delivered through UPS. Later that same day I went to best buy and bought 2 computers. At first the transaction was declined. I called Chase and the operator stayed on the phone until the transaction went through which it did. On the next day (Tuesday) I went back to best buy to buy some supplies for one of the computers I bought the other day. The cost of the supplies only came to $69.00, that transaction was declined. Then I went to the bank to try to get the money to get the stuff, that was also declined. Then I go online and find out that my account has been closed and is now under review. When I called, the operator said the thing that account is under review. I've only been a customer for just a couple of days now. I need some answers, because all I did was buy 2 laptops and the next day they close my account and put under review. Did I do something wrong by buying the computers?

I usually don't feel the need to blast a bad experience but Chase credit cards are awful! I have had a card with Chase for 8 years (all of which in good standings) and then they have made no efforts to improve my experience nor offer a better APR rate. When I asked for one I didn't just get dismissed but also told if I don't like it that I am welcome to go somewhere else. Thank you for the encouragement, I will. Has anyone else had poor customer service experience with Chase?

There was a charge on our credit card that was not authorized. Chase went against everything that they ever advertise about not having to pay for fraudulent charges and made us pay it. They said we would have to prove it even though, there was no signed receipt from me. So we asked to talk to the manager after long hours, grant the supervisor within the despots department was very rude and unhelpful. I would NEVER recommend Chase under ANY circumstance unless you want to get charged for invalid charges, then receive absolutely no help from them whatsoever. If you are looking for a good credit card I would recommend Discover. They actually handle their disputes properly and credit you back and treat you like a customer.

I have relatively strong credit, several credit cards, and Chase is the anomaly in terms of APR. I have one credit card with a 7.75% interest rate and one with a 13.24% rate, which I negotiated several years ago. I have been a Chase customer since 2005 and had a $0 balance in December--should have closed the account then while I was ahead.
After transferring a few small balances to the card under promotional plans (roughly 15% of my available credit), I decided I would like to use my card for purchases if the APR was reasonable. So I called to speak with a Chase representative, who told me there was nothing she could do about my 22.24% APR and the rate was "the best they could offer me if I applied for the same card right now." I told them there was no chance I would ever apply for a card with 22.24% APR because that's a ridiculous rate in this market. The first rep again told me there was nothing she could do and tried to talk to me about their payment plans. I told her I had no interest in the payment plans because I have no issues making my payments, so I asked to speak with a supervisor.
When I spoke with Ernest, a "Senior Service Representative," he told me that my account was "currently under review," and if I was eligible for a reduction in the APR, it would just happen automatically, but there was nothing he could personally do about it. I asked him who could and who I could speak to, and he told me that there was no one--Chase reviews everything automatically and bases the rates entirely on your credit score. He told me that I could contact the credit reporting agencies and find out why my rate was so high. I told him that I regularly review my credit report and Chase is the only sore thumb sticking out, for no discernible reason, and that's why I was calling. He went back to the same circular reasoning: Chase uses your credit to determine your interest rate--no customer loyalty, no history with Chase, no reflection of your available balance or debt to available credit ratio for Chase. And absolutely zero interest in working personally with customers. So apparently the customer is supposed to know what Chase looks at on my credit report because Chase representatives can't tell you.
Ernest did confirm that there were three basic interest thresholds for the card I am using--12.99%, 17.99%, and 22.99%--"higher than what I have now!" Gee, thanks. He also told me that my card is currently being reviewed for an interest change and it looks like that happens every six months or so. I said, "So when was the last time it was reviewed and how am I supposed to know if it's been reviewed if it stays the same? When can I expect a change to occur if it's going to occur?" "It looks like it was reviewed on August 2nd and evaluated on August 6th and that it occurs every six months or so on your account." "So when you say 'it's currently being reviewed,' that's not correct. It was reviewed three months ago and nothing changed? " "Well, it's an ongoing process." "But not one you or any human can do anything about, allegedly?" "Yes ma'am, that's correct." "And not one that's going to happen again for another three months or so?" "On this timeline, yes." "So it's not currently being reviewed." "It's marked as being reviewed." "But that's not right, is it?" "I'm not sure." Unbelievable.
The most appalling part of my interaction with Ernest is that he told me "on a personal level, I understand your concerns as a consumer, and if you have cards with lower APRs, you should transfer your Chase balance to those cards. I wouldn't pay 22.24% if I had cards with lower rates." To which I replied, "Wait. So now Chase is trying to unload undesirable customers instead of trying to retain their loyalty? You're seriously telling me to take my business and my balance somewhere else? Is that why the interest is so high? To force customers out?!" "Oh, no no no, ma'am, I'm only telling you how I would handle this personally." "So Chase has no interest in retaining a customer you've had for almost ten years who is able to pay off her entire balance?" "I'm just telling you how I would handle this if I had another credit card with a 7% interest rate."
Disgusting. Chase should be ashamed. They lost me and my money, which is a shame with the great payment programs and technology they have available. I'd love to use the card, but not when I get a customer service rep telling me to take my business elsewhere. What the hell?

Last week I tried to use one of my Chase credit cards to purchase a juice after my workout. The transaction was declined. I called Chase and I found out that all my credit cards were closed (1 business and 2 personal, adding 40k line of credit). Chase customer service transferred me to a department that they call specialty team. The representative at this department told me that my accounts were closed because they reviewed my CR and they didn't like what they saw. I checked all my 3 Credit reports and all looked great. I have approximately a 180k limit in revolving credit and a only 14% utilization. I don't have ANY derogatory, never missed any payment, always pay my credit cards in full and approximately 400k annual income. Chase action will negatively affect my credit report since my available revolving credit will be reduced and the accounts will have a note saying that they were closed by the lender.

Received letter from Cardmember Services stating that the Quicken travel rewards program from Chase is changing significantly. Been a customer since 1998. I have banked thousands of miles to use for future travel and NOW I find out they are worth much less. AND this takes place in two weeks. Just spent 90 minutes on the phone with customer service being transferred 5 times and each putting on hold forever. This is akin to having $ in the bank and the bank letting you know "Sorry you didn't spend your money yet and in two weeks it will be worth less money". This cannot be a legal practice.

I applied for a Freedom Chase credit card because they offered a zero balance transfer and I decided to use it to pay the balance off a Capital One credit card I had. I requested a balance transfer and the transaction was pending for several weeks so I decided to cancel it online and paid the balance of my Capital One credit card from my checking account. I received a confirmation number for the balance transfer cancellation from Chase but weeks later I noticed the transaction still went through and Chase charged me $43 for balance transfer fees plus sent money to my Capital One credit card that was already paid in full and had a zero balance.
I called Chase and they told me that although I cancelled it online weeks before and had a confirmation for it, they could not cancel the transfer and that there was nothing they could do about it. The Chase representative lied to me saying they could not waive the fee because of government regulations which is not true. Chase told me to call Capital One to have them send the money back to Chase but that I still have to pay the fees for the balance transfer I cancelled. I told them I would pay everything off and never get a Chase account ever again. I called Capital One and they are the best. They showed the credit on my account and they helped me transfer the money back to Chase with no fees whatsoever and were very understanding of my issue. I will not recommend Chase to anyone.

In the last 3 months, I was given a Chase Freedom Card. My husband didn't think we needed it so I called to cancel it on 8/19/2014. Approximately 20 minutes later, I changed my mind & called to get it reinstated. I was told I could not do this because I had an account that was over 180 days late. I said there was no way that was possible and asked to speak to manager. He said this was because we had claimed bankruptcy in 2001 & therefore they could not reinstate. I asked them why they gave me one in the first place and of course they were unable to answer this. I have a balance of $2.87 on this card which I paid immediately. They said they would have to run a detailed credit report before they could reinstate the Rewards card. Again if I am such a horrible credit risk, which I am not, why did I get it in the first place? Again no answer that made sense.
I asked why they were dredging back 13 years when we have been able to get car loan and we also have another Chase card (not for long). I told him my husband was laid off & I had back surgery & could no longer work so therefore the bankruptcy. They also said they had sold our loan for the 13-year-old one. I finally told them never mind the card I didn't want the darn thing and I hoped they were proud of themselves for the way they conduct business. Goodbye Chase. We will never do business with you again.

After 31 years with chase bank I got a letter telling me they were going to send me a new freedom card. I didn't know why because my card didn't expire until 2016. I got the new card only to realize that it was a VISA card. I already had a Chase VISA since 1983. I wanted the MASTERCARD I had, not another VISA. I called CUSTOMER SERVICE and asked why I didn't get a new MASTERCARD. I was told CHASE wanted to do more business with VISA, NOT mastercard.

The card would not work at the checkout. After 20 minutes of trying everything the cashier knew to try I paid cash.
I got the manager of the store to come over and try to help me with the card problem. I made another small purchase and we took the card to another checkout station. He slide the card and it would not work but when he inserted the card into the chip reader it did. ALL OF THIS TIME I WAS TALKING TO CHASE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MY PHONE.

I contacted Chase regarding a CLI on my Slate card. During the process, the representative advised me that a hard pull would be done on my credit report. After a few minutes, she advised me that it had been denied. I was in shock because my credit report is clean and my utilization is below 25% and all other things are great. Within the recent weeks, I have received tons of pre-approval offers from Chase for the Sapphire Preferred and Hyatt cards and still receiving them weekly. The icebreaker is when I received two inquiry alerts from my credit monitoring product regarding recent activity. Both had been from Chase as suspected, I was only expecting 1.
The representative advised that "a" credit report would be pulled... not that 1, 2, or all 3 could be pulled. Dealing with other banks, they will advise if more than one could be pulled before proceeding with a phone request. Chase did not provide an acceptable explanation but did advise that they will work on how information is communicated in the future and the tone seemed nonchalant. Just making that comment alone is pathetic and it really says a lot.
BEWARE OF CHASE! For The record, a co-worker advised me that Chase had done the same thing to her. But out of curiosity, she responded to a pre-approval offer and they approved a new card but would not give a CLI. Seems quite ridiculous to me and they would rather provide more cards than a CLI for excellent cardholders.

I got a letter saying that Chase is changing my MasterCard to a Visa. They never got my permission to do this. When I called, Pam ** told me it was already done and there was nothing I could do about it. When I was transferred to Johnny **, he said that it had not happened. When I spoke to Stefan **, he did absolutely nothing to assist me in getting the telephone number for the legal department at Chase. The entire conversation was filled with lies and no one addressed the really big problems with what Chase is summarily doing. They are summarily replacing their MasterCards with Visa cards and thus changing not only the card type but also the account number.
In the process, Chase is negatively impacting the credit card holders who are trying to demonstrate that they have good and STABLE credit behavior. In addition, Chase is negatively impacting the MasterCard holders because their automatic bill paying is not going to go through due to the change in type of card and account number. If a cardholder has recurring charges deducted each month from the MasterCard, those charges are not going to go through and the cardholders are going to be irreparably harmed. In addition, if the cardholder has their monthly MasterCard payment automatically paid out of their banking account or through a bill paying service, this will not happen any longer because the type of card and account number has changed.
So the monthly payment will not be made on the Chase credit card and this will cause further irreparable harm to the cardholders by Chase. It is also going to cause severe emotional distress and harm to the cardholders. Lastly, it is going to cost the credit card holders loss of money as time equals money. I gave the customer representative some reasonable suggestions on how they should be handling this but of course, the customer representative did not accept any of the suggestions.

Chase changed my master card into visa without any prior notice. When I received the bill, I couldn't find the account number in the Bill pay section of Bank of American checking account. After couple of days, I received the new card with account number that matches the chase bill, I paid in full but it was one day late due to their change of account confusion. I called the customer care agent and explain about the confusion but she never removed the charges; instead, she was rude. I was with Chase for long time, but I cancelled all my chase accounts today because of rude customer care agent. I will never open an account with chase again.

I've had an Amazon Rewards Card through Chase for a few years; the points have really helped save money on Amazon purchases ... or so I thought. When I received statements in the mail, they very clearly said Amount Due and I paid it off every month. Now since I've gone Paperless, there is a Balance Due amount which is posted 3 days after I paid the last bill. Then there is a Purchases Amount. Nowhere can I find a simple You Owe This Amount. I'd been paying for the Purchases since going paperless. Because I hadn't been adding those 2 numbers and paying it all, I've been charged over $50 so far this year (June 2014). And there go all my rewards points.
When I tried to email Chase, I wrote it all down 4 times and each time whenever I hit Save Draft or Send, it logged me off. Two months ago, I was one hour late paying online because the site kept refusing to let me log on. By the time I got through, they had already added a late fee. I ended up calling and did get a refund on that fee. This month, I paid both amounts and we will see what the "consequences" will be!

This is a complaint about transparency. We applied for a Chase Sapphire Credit Card for the 40,000 points / $3,000 spent in three months offer in March 2014. The website offered 1:1 transfer points to participating travel partners. I read the Chase Sapphire home page and Offer Details pages and found no mention of partners; there was no mention anywhere on the Chase Sapphire promotional website... no list or links. I assumed American participated - they are an international carrier. Imagine my surprise when I called today to transfer my Chase points to my American AAdvantage account. I was told no. It could not be done.
In short, the reason I signed up for the Chase Sapphire program could not be achieved. Again, it was not stated on the Chase Sapphire promotion website homepage or linked Offer Details pages that it was impossible to transfer points to American. The people I spoke to at Chase Sapphire said I should have checked who their partners were (please read the above paragraph) before requesting the card. I enrolled online. I assume that means I should have called Chase.
I am writing this as others may think requesting the Chase Sapphire card will transfer to American AAdvantage miles accounts. It will not. You cannot transfer points to American AAdvantage. To be fair, you can redeem the Chase Sapphire points for American flights. But it is impossible to combine Chase Sapphire points with the miles I already have with American AAdvantage. That means booking longer flights will not be possible.

First let me say I missed somewhere in all the agreement information that I would be charged for transfer to the credit card. First screw up, second I missed their annual fee charge. Must had been blinded by the too good to be true advertising on Southwest Airlines website. I immediately called Chase to cancel the card once I saw my first statement, and requested the annual fee and transfer charges be removed as I had immediately reversed the transfer amount back to the original card. Chase removed the annual fee but insisted on me paying the transfer fee. The next bill that I got was for $116.35. What they have done is to conveniently hold back $1484.24 to from my original transfer of $6049.14 back to my original credit card so that they could hit me for another $17.35 in interest charges. I guess that I have forgotten what true crooks Chase is. I had my personal accounts with them years ago, until I discovered that they were adding charges to my accounts without my knowledge. I personally went to the bank, called them crooks to their faces and closed the accounts. I see nothing has changed and someone from the banking commission needs to investigate their business practices......again.

After being a customer with Chase for 18+ years, always paying the balance in full, they decided yesterday, 3/13/14 to cancel both of my wife's cards while traveling! She was not able to even buy a meal at the airport for a flight she was taking. No notice, no warning, just cancelled! Not on one card, but both! They claimed they needed verification of her SS# on the accounts even though she has had them for so long. Think they have allowed the IT geeks to run their business which will cost them loyal customers. We have excellent FICO scores, never had a late payment, and never even had interest payments. She also found some fraud on one card, notified Chase, and they sent her a new card. So even trying to protect them, they still cancelled her, in the middle of a business trip!
Upon researching this, I find that credit card companies can cancel your card AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING. This is regardless of your credit score, payment history, or length with the company. Both she and I have held Chase/Mileage Plus, Explorer cards, been frequent fliers and never had any payment issues. As a consumer, WARNING - get more than 1 card while traveling and make sure one of them is not CHASE!

I canceled my Chase United Plus Mileage credit card today. I have been an account holder for a couple of years. I found out on my March statement (for Feb charges) that they charged me $31.84 interest for a late payment in January. (not sure why this wasn't done on my Feb statement) I called them and escalated to a supervisor Jen ** who stated that they no longer can make adjustments for interest on people's accounts. In my case as in the other case I read about on this site, I electronically transfer funds from my bank account, and it showed that the amount was debited from my bank account on the correct date that the payment was due. I scheduled this payment on a Friday, it showed that it was debited from my account on a Tuesday, and Chase is stating it came in on Wed. Chase stated it came in a day late.
In all other months, the date that my bank shows the amount is debited is the date that it shows up on my credit card statement that it was applied, so not sure why Chase would contend that the amount was late. I always pay on time and have a long history of doing so. I would like for this to be looked into because I believe Chase is hoping that people don't notice or won't contest the late fees that they apply. I have documentation I would be willing to share.

I made the mistake of being drawn in by the transfer balance. I have since paid off my balance and do not wish to give them any more of my business. When making an electronic payment, it takes them 5-7 days to process this payment. During this time if you set the payment to execute on the due date, they assess a late fee because the payment has not gone through on the electronic side. This is the only card that does this. Needless to say they accrue most of their money from those dishonest and ill-gotten methods. In actuality the due date is not the real due date. It is 5-7 days before the due date.

I have been a loyal Chase customer for many years, ever since they bought out Washington Mutual Bank and acquired my accounts there. I have been very happy with them until recently, so much so that I cancelled accounts at other banks and transferred much of my business to Chase. Just before Christmas, I took some items back to Home Depot and then did some other shopping at the same store. When I went to pay I did not have my Chase Credit card although I had just used it to return items moments earlier. I hurried back to the Returns desk. They said they did not have my card so I did what I thought was the responsible thing and hurried to the nearest Chase Bank and reported the card missing. I really thought that it was at the Returns desk but did not want to take the chance that a pick-pocket might have it.
Well, instead of Chase being grateful for my prompt reporting of this loss, they removed $30,000 from my line of credit when they sent me a new card. I protested all the way up to the Executive Services level to no avail. I have always paid every single debt on my credit cards forever on time and have never had a late charge on my credit rating, and no other credit card company has seen the necessity of reducing any of my credit lines. I was given some weak excuse for their doing this to me. I suspect that the real reason is that I am female and getting close to retirement and they are afraid that I might not have an adequate financial retirement planned. Gender discrimination and age discrimination perhaps? I actually sent them proof that retirement problems are certainly not going to exist.
I have two credit cards with Chase and both of them have a zero balance although I have a history of using them sometimes. As usual I have never been late with a payment. The worst of it is that just after I got home after "losing" the card at Home Depot, I received a call informing me that they found the card at the Returns Center! My advice to people thinking of applying for a card at CHASE is to look elsewhere. They are suddenly treating loyal long-time customers very badly and one day, that will be YOU! Instead build a relationship with a company that has demonstrated that it values long-term customers who pay their bills on time.

My wife took a cab from Hillsboro to Portland Oregon airport in August. My Southwest Visa (Chase Bank) credit card was charged $551.76! I contacted Chase and filed a formal objection to the charge. I did not have a receipt. Chase obtained a signature from the merchant which was not for either my or my wife's initials. It was either fraudulent or for someone else. The merchant also claimed to have contacted us (false) and asserted that we had called a cab and then not used it (false) and thus were liable for the charges.
When contacted, the Chase customer service specialist (Nachelli **) refused to check the signature, saying "it's not my job to check signatures." She did not attempt to verify the cost of a cab ride for that distance (about $50). My objection was subsequently rejected and the charge stands. I have been a good customer with this card, having held it for over a decade and having directed all of my credit card spending through it. Based on my experience, a merchant can create a fraudulent charge, with a fraudulent signature, and Chase will blindly accept it - even when the charge is absurdly high and the signature bears no resemblance to that of any authorized card holder.

I have worked for more than 30 years in Banking (never in Chase) and there is always a way to help a frustrated client.
I can understand that the law requests that the higher rate be paid first, but what happens is that until the 2015 balance is paid in full, funds will not be applied to the 2014 balance. Wherefore on January 2014, the balance will not be paid in full and "In addition, any remaining balance after the expiration date of the promotional APR's will be assessed interest; charges at the standard variable purchase rate of the Prime Rate + 9.99%, which is currently 13.24%"!!!

I never want to be affiliated with Chase again, and I will now look for someone else to hold my mortgage. Chase was the ONLY company to not work with me after paying $40,000.00 in debt. Again, note, as a small business owner in Sonoma County, I would never think of treating any customer the way your department did. Absolutely disgusted in Chase. Also, it's strange that you owe me credit of $85.00, but it'll take over 10 days for me to receive my credit and I can't charge interest!!!

Yep, I did carry a high balance on one of my Chase cards for about a year. I used my hard earned savings to reduce my balance from $5,000 to $2,000 to reduce my utilization ratio. One month after making that $3,000 payment, Chase reduced my credit line by $2,700. Now I'm back to an even worse utilization ratio. Should have kept my savings!!!

I have been a loyal Chase customer for more than 25 years. I have a personal checking account and a personal credit card with Chase. I have a relatively high limit on my credit card, but only use a percentage of the available credit. I have never once been late nor have I ever missed a payment. As a matter of fact, I always make much larger than minimum payments. I have excellent credit (in the high 700's), with no negative marks on my report.
Chase just lowered my credit limit to the exact amount that I owe them. This action makes it appear as though I have used all of my available credit, which in turn lowered my score. I called in to correct the matter, and they basically told me they didn't care if I took all of my business elsewhere. I am transferring everything to Citibank (credit cards, mortgage, savings, checking) as they are a pleasure to deal with.

Terrible customer service!!! They just don't care to help at all. I have held a Chase card for years and have been on automatic payments. Well, someone hijacked my card and tried to make some charges. So they canceled my card and issued a new one. Great, but here is where the trouble begins. My automatic payments were being rejected by Chase because of the new card. I had no idea that they were not accepting my payments until my card stopped working. I called Chase and found out what had happened, so I paid the balance in full the same day over the phone. I found out that they put a 30-day late on my credit score.
I called Chase and asked for help getting it corrected. They said they would not. I have proof from my bank that payments were made, but rejected. They probably can see from their side that payments were rejected. I have letter from Chase saying how sorry they were about my card being hijacked, but there is no mention of the need to adjust automatic payments. I called chase again with all the documentation, but was still told that they would not help. This is just crazy!!! Full paper and electronic trail, and they won't help. I was with them for years and this is how they treat me. Legalistic dopes. I recommend you never go with Chase.

Chase changed my credit card terms also, completely ignoring the promotional rate and terms which had been guaranteed. Then the phone calls started. I also have a home equity line of credit with them. Based on the fact that I couldn't afford my newly inflated credit card payment, they cut off the HELOC. Then they started calling about that as well, saying it was late when it wasn't. I had excellent credit before Chase Bank started their highly suspect banking activities. They had a huge bailout. They borrow from the feds at .075% and charge us 20 times that or more. Plus, don't forget all their abundant fees. In my opinion, this is not a good bank at all. Something smells bad about their practices.

I am trying very hard to pay my credit cards off. All of my other credit cards allow for at least three kinds of automatic payments at the web site: 1) minimum due, 2) full balance, and 3) an amount that I determine (more than the minimum, a set amount, or the minimum plus a set amount). The problem with the Chase website is that they only allow the first two options. You get the choice of paying the card off (over about 28 years!) by paying just the minimum due or you have to pay the whole balance. They do not offer the option of paying the card off by paying more than the minimum but less than the full balance. If you want to set something like that up, you have to call them. It is ridiculous! And it seems like a crappy way to treat your clients.

First let me suggest and recommend that every one of you with a legitimate grievance with Chase immediately file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Despite their well-documented abuses, they have managed to skate along with an A rating. I believe the BBB is in cahoots with them in some fashion, but they cannot ignore a massive outpouring of valid grievances. It's easy to do. Now as to my story, a payment I made to Chase was not delivered on time. I called and the representative treated me like garbage, telling me I need to pay my bills on time and started berating me. I said, "Thanks for the great advice." What's worse is that it was the military services line as I am on active duty in the US military. Chase is terrible and does not respect the military. They only care about profiting from service members and the armed forces. Scoundrels.

My Chase credit card went to a charge-off status about a year ago, and within 2 months, I started a payment plan directly with them for $88/month. They hold the debt so if it was a charge-off, another company would be collecting the debt. This needs to be corrected. They continue to show a past due balance, but with a charge-off, the account should read $0. It cannot be reported as both. They have already taken their tax deduction with the write-off. So, are they showing the income that they have made from me for the past year? If they want to show a past due, then the account should be a collections account. It appears that they are reporting this in a manner that suits them best, possibly for tax purposes, but in turn it is not accurate. Equifax and the other credit agencies will not research the item. They kick it back to Chase, and Chase decides if they are right or not. Where is the justice in that?

I send extra money to Chase Future Shop each month so the balance will be paid off early. However, Chase seems to feel that the extra money will be held as a credit until such time as the balance and the debit become equal, and then the balance would be considered paid out. Chase informed me that this is the way they have to do this as the contract is for "equal payments" and they cannot falter from this. The contract does state that there are equal payments; however, I understand this is the minimum payment. I do not recall anything in the contract saying I could not pay more and have it applied to my account.
So what this means is if I continue to send extra money above my equal payment, this money sits in the Chase account as extra money and in my case could be a substantial amount of money before the credit in many months would equal the final payout. I just find it difficult to understand why Chase cannot be flexible on this and apply any extra balance to the account when asked by the customer to do so.

My husband (military member) and I got scammed out of $30,000 plus from a false business entity entitled DF Transportation. They pretended to offer me a real job with real training and testing, which was very elaborate, planned out, and detailed. During this training, this alleged entity asked me during the training if I wanted some part-time extra credit work, buying and shipping computers to one of their new offices. I had no issue buying these computers on my own credit card so long as I was being reimbursed prior to the shipment of the merchandise. They provided me with their alleged bank account and routing numbers to pay off the computers I was buying with my Chase credit card.
I ensured before shipment of the computers that these purchases were paid however and were current, paid, and accurate; and Chase gave me that verification both verbally and electronically. Additionally, because of these payments being paid and showing current, I released possession of the computers and shipped them, thinking I had been paid for the computers. Chase had internal bank knowledge, however, that these payments were going to get returned prior to posting this return status online and left it showing as paid and current, misleading me to think it was paid. Chase even allowed me credit increase and credit availability to make more purchases because these payments were showing as paid. I had no reason to think these payments were going to get returned.
Now, because of Chase's failure to communicate with me, and follow their own policies and procedures for properly guarding their banking records, and all the while knowing my circumstances beforehand, all the computers are gone, and all these payments applied to my credit card have been returned. I would have never shipped the first set of computers or bought any subsequent computers had Chase stayed on top of my account and kept me informed properly by showing the actual status of the account online and verbally. Chase did not complete their obligation to me by communicating with me promptly, and because they did not tell me of the first payment getting returned until 10/4/12, I released possession of the merchandise, made more purchases, and subsequently mailed those as well after receiving confirmation that they had been paid too.
I would like to sue Chase for a possible cause of action of Breach of Contract or violation of their own banking record keeping policies and procedures, by not following their internal banking record procedures and policies. They breached a trust with their guardianship of their records. I am 8 and 1/2 months pregnant and have suffered serious distress emotionally, physically, and financially, and need to get this fraudulent debt off my credit card and reinstate my account. I have filed a police report, filed a report with Fraud Aid, and have a contact with Fraud Aid that is assisting me and will continue to assist me and my attorney once I retain one.

Chase is in a much better position than I am to bear the loss for this mistake and should have to because of their breach of good faith and fair dealing, breach of their fiduciary duties by not properly maintaining bank records, and because of their negligence in misleading my account balance. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

I'm seriously ready to have a nervous breakdown in dealing with this company. I would just love it if everyone in the world canceled this company's credit card. Let's start from the beginning. On July 20, 2012, I applied for a mortgage to purchase a new home to provide a better environment for my 2-year old daughter. When I went to sign for the mortgage loan, I got a copy of my credit report. I noticed a credit card on the report, which was not the one I have used for years. The report showed the card had not been used since 2007, then all of a sudden the card was maxed out within a week in July of this year. Upon returning home, I promptly contacted Chase by the contact information provided on the credit report. It just so happened that my ex-husband and I had a credit card in which I was listed as the secondary.
Please be advised when you are secondary on a credit card, you (per Chase) are liable for any charges the main cardholder (my ex-husband) decides not to pay. I advised Chase that I had been moved out of the residency since 2004 and my divorce was finalized in 2006. I also faxed the copy of the credit report, a copy of the loan signed off by the loan company showing the date of July 20th so they could see that is when I received the credit report and I found out about this credit card. I also sent Chase a copy of my divorce decree from 2006. I honestly had no idea this credit card even existed. If I did, I would have taken care of it when the truck and house was taken care of. I signed the house and our checking over to him and walked away with only my personal belongings. His infidelity made me sick. I just could not deal with a long drawn out process. I just wanted it over so I could begin to heal.
I originally had thought it was fraudulent charges because of the time span in it being used and that there were two charges for a nail salon. My ex is a truck driver so I knew he was not going to the salon to have his nails done. I took it upon myself to contact a few of the companies where the credit card was used and found that a female had signed the credit receipts. Yep you guessed it, he has a new fiancee who was using the card. Upon contacting Chase with the new information, I was advised that it does not matter that she used the card and if he decides not to pay the credit card off, they will come after me for the payment along with any late charges etc. Think about this, if I had not applied for the mortgage, I wouldn't have even known about this card. Can you imagine what the penalties would be? It makes me sick!
After spending 12+ hours on the phone with these people since July 20th, I was finally advised the only way I could take care of this is for them to mail a letter to my ex husband stating that I want to be removed from the card and by doing so, he will be the sole person responsible to pay the credit card bill. Are they serious? Yep. I said yeah and as soon as he gets that, it's going to go right in the garbage, so then what? Ma'am that is the only way you can be taken off the card. I said, "Well then send me a copy of it as well." No we cannot do that, we can only send it to the address in which the credit card bill is sent to. Really? You can come back on me for payment yet you cannot mail me the release form?
Well, I knew that would be good so then I had to hunt down the ex. Thank goodness being a good person does sometimes pays off. I got his number, waited the 10 days Chase said it would take for him to get the form. Guess what? Go figure. He never got the form. Can you believe I am still sane at this point in time? So, I contacted Chase back to advise of this new update and advised that they must send me a copy of this so I can take a witness. I will go to the jerk's house and get him to sign it. Eight years and now I have to go back and see him. This is just terrible! Okay, well it did not go as bad as I thought. He did sign the paper that he would take responsibility of the charges. This was witnessed as it was then being dropped in the mail. Great news huh, wrong!
After waiting two weeks and hearing nothing from Chase, I called to see if I had been removed. I was advised that if my ex does not have good credit, then they will not remove my name from the credit card and again, I will be responsible for the charges which I did not make. Seriously, this is why I am on my way to a nervous breakdown! I said, "Well when will I know?" I was advised by Trey in management that he cannot tell me if I have been removed or not. He can only discuss that with the cardholder, my ex-husband. I said, "Well what does that do for me? How am I to know if I am going to be responsible for payment or not?" He said, "You can call him, have him call us and give us permission to tell you and then you have 24 hours to contact us back." I said, "You should call him. I don't even know that he will take my call." No we cannot do that, we only take inbound calls. How convenient.
So here I am over 3 months later with no resolution as I'm sure you could have guessed. I can tell you that I am probably still on the credit card and liable for the charges. Be advised, tell people so it doesn't happen to any of your friends or family. I took the time to write this so please, please take the time to tell others. I don't want this to ever, ever happen to another person. Policies must be changed to protect the innocent people in such cases as this.

Open payments late when sent using US mail, then report them - Payments were sent in a timely manner, but we're hit with late fees because they just sat there unopened. Many times it's just one or two days late or they never cashed the checks in a timely manner. Late, late, late. Some reported as 30 days late after years of making other CC payments on time.

I received two separate email alerts from Chase/Visa indicating that they were going to send duplicate copies of my credit card to a location in Colorado (I didn't authorize). The first alert occurred on 09/14/2012 and the second alert on 09/19/2012. As a result of these alerts, I had to cancel the accounts. The first alert caused cancellation of the old card and an issuance of a new credit card. The second alert resulted in the cancellation of the new card and my terminating the relationship with Chase/Visa. These actions resulted in my contacting numerous business and government agencies that I had automatic payments with. I spent long hours in which I had to alter the payment method. I believe that Chase Visa was negligent in that they failed to prevent the second mailing of the new card and didn't have a system in place, i.e., a red flag on the suspected location. I have a record of these alerts and would like to be advised of what can be done and I request a response from your agency.

My July Chase slate statement for $146.89 was due on September 6, 2012. I wrote out the check and mailed it on September 3. Today, September 10, 2012, I received another statement from them (August?) that states I still owe the $146.89, plus an additional of approximately $31.00 in late fees and interest, along with any new charges. I called to ask why and was told that my payment had in fact been received, but their records show the due date was September 1 (but this statement still shows that I owe the $146.89). Note that I had called and changed my due date to the 1st of the month and was told it would begin with September charges. The CSR said no, that was incorrect and it was any outstanding charges at that point would be due on September 1 (instead of the date on the bill!).
This makes no sense to me and as I told the CSR, I already had the July bill with the September 6 due date, so why would I change that due date to the 1st? It made sense to me that going forward, i.e. my next bill (September charges) would be due on the 1st of October. I authorized to have the remaining bill paid right then and closed the account. This is not the first time this has happened to me with Chase accounts. In fact, it is at least the third time. I have always paid my bills in full and on time every month. I have tried through the mail, online, over the phone, etc., yet they always manage to come up with a reason that my payment wasn't received on time and tack on late fees and interest.
I have never had this problem with Discover or Amex, but at least 3 times with Chase. It seems that they don't like customers who pay in full and on time. Obviously, they make more with late fees and interest, so it appears that they invent ways to get them from customers. I have one more Chase account and as soon as I use the award points, I will cancel it also.

Chase's slogan is, "the right relationship is everything." How would you like your financial institution to work against you when an employee is stealing from you?
Being a female small business owner supporting five employees, the right relationship is everything, the internal relationships with your employees and the relationship with your financial institutions. These relationships can nurture the growth of your business and make you feel as if you have an entire support system in your corner, a support team in place to help elevate you to success and to support you through the trying times of entrepreneurship. I assume this is what JP Morgan Chase wanted us, as consumers, to feel when they chose this as one of their heartfelt slogans. Now I know their marketing and operations are unrelated.
I had been a Chase account member since 2007, and our relationship was satisfactory until it was brought to my attention that unauthorized charges were happening on my account. Upon this knowledge, I closed my account in August of 2011 only to learn that Chase then allowed an employee of mine to fraudulently obtain a card on my closed account and run up charges.
As if the discovery of interoffice betrayal was not enough, Chase is making things even more difficult. I have found that Chase has misrepresented themselves in their fight to stop fraud in its tracks. There was no Fraud Monitoring which is their sophisticated tool to detect abnormal charges. In my case, they were clearly personal charges (Legoland, retail shopping, and child care). They also took money without authorization from my operations account to cover these fraudulent charges and have yet to provide proof of their right to do so. I am still dealing with their Zero Liability promise, but it's more than a little hard when they've taken your money and ignore the written requests they asked for.
For example, when the employee who was fraudulently charging rerouted the bills to her email address, Chase didn't call me. When Chase saw line after line and page after page of charges inconsistent with a business account, they never once called me or wrote to me (over $46,000). Then the game came out. "Oh, we closed your card when you asked but not your account." My request was to close the account and they have audio tape (this call may be recorded) which they have said they'd provide a copy of on July 11, 2012, but as of August 30, 2012 no recordings have been received.
In my opinion, Chase is only interested in having the right relationship with your money as in, they have it and you don't. Based on my experience, I would recommend any business owner who has any reasonable expectation of their financial institution working with them to steer clear of JP Morgan Chase.

I called and asked to be allowed to opt out as others did and shut my card down and pay it off in good standing as others did. They gave me hell and we went back and forth for months! They stated they sent me a form and I never received it and called them again! I was diagnosed with cancer and they refused disability insurance on my card! I am permanently disabled! How is that not covered? I now have a $909 debt on my credit report. By the way, that was far above the amount I had with Chase and MCM Credit Management in San Diego California is refusing to help me saying that they have it now and basically, my insurance doesn't matter.
Even after telling them what happened, they just asked if I was going to pay it off. I answered, “No. Would you?” They noted the account and left the line! I paid for insurance and I am refused?

Two years later, after patiently waiting for my credit to come back, Chase is still on my credit report. They are reporting me as paying late every single month, despite my not even having an account with them anymore. When you settle an account, the account is done. Over. No other company that I settled with did this. I have recovered financially, do not have credit cards, pay all bills on time in full for two years.

We moved to Venice, FL in Dec. 2009. My wife applied for a TJ Maxx credit card (Chase - TJX) in August 2010. In February 2011, Chase canceled this credit card account and reported to the three credit bureaus that there was a $119 balance overdue for three months. We first learned of this negative report when Toyota advised us during a new car lease arrangement that they were required to charge a higher interest rate due to Chase's negative credit report. We called Chase and they told us it would cost $355 to settle the account and that they had called us repeatedly about the overdue balance.
Chase never called us or sent us any notice regarding the overdue balance. We do not recall receiving a bill from Chase for the November 2011 billing cycle. We paid the bills for September and October on time. If we had received a November bill, it would have been paid on time. After paying Chase the inflated $355 to settle the account, Chase did not send a correction of the balance due to the three credit bureaus. I had to file a complaint with the credit bureaus in order to get Chase to notify them that the balance due had been paid. It currently reflects that the outstanding balance was $355 even though the real balance due was $119 or no more than $325 as listed in previous credit reports.
Of course, settling the account does not remove the negative Chase credit report from our credit records. Most recently, my auto insurance company advised me that they could not offer a lower insurance rate due to the negative Chase credit report. The same problem will block a lower interest rate on our next car lease and will negatively affect other financial arrangements.
In the future, I will avoid any financial arrangements where Chase is involved and I will advise everyone I know to do the same. What this experience has taught me is, never pay an outstanding balance listed in a credit report. Payment will not remove the negative report and the credit card company will do nothing other than report negative information to the credit bureaus. The numerous internet complaints regarding Chase credit cards are testament to Chase's mishandling of credit card debt.

I have been a customer with Chase since 1990. I had always paid my bills on time & fully. A few years ago, while still married, my husband & I both became unemployed. With no income, I used my credit card to pay for household expenses; I struggled to keep up, but missed a payment. At that time, due to my missed payment, Chase began to increase my interest rate. I called to explain the financial situation I was in and requested that a reduction in interest be made, Chase refused.
I paid over $3,000 in a year's time, but due to the interest rate, the principal balance barely decreased. The payments went to interest charges. I again called Chase, was told my only option was to close the account. The APR was 0% and monthly payments were arranged for 5 years. As my husband & I had found jobs, this was financially feasible. In March of 2011, my husband left, moved out & started divorce proceedings. I continued to keep up the payments. Then, on January 20, 2012, I was laid off.
I called Chase & explained that I was unemployed and that there was no second income due to divorce. I requested that my payments be decreased; I was told by Chase that since I was on a payment plan, I was not eligible for any other payment plans. I told Chase that I could pay $100 per month & that when I found employment, I would increase my payments & eventually catch up. I was denied. I was told by Chase that it did me no good to make a partial payment & in fact to stop paying as I would possibly then be eligible for another payment plan.
On my last conversation with Chase, I was given 3 options: 1) refer to a credit-counseling agency. I told Chase that I did not need that as all my bills were up to date except for the Chase Visa credit card; 2) If I wished to pay off the balance, it would be 90% or $8,000+. Again, being unemployed, I do not have that kind of money; 3) I was told my account would be turned over to a collection agency; please tell me how that is going to help this situation. And, lastly, after I told the agent at Chase I could not afford the $252 payment, I was asked if I could pay $262 per month. Really, is that a reasonable solution?
In summary, I have repeatedly asked Chase Visa to work with me to pay my account. If the interest rate had not been jacked up so high, I might have been able to avoid the closure of this account. Due to the lack of any kind of working with me in the last 2 conversations I have had with Chase, I am writing this email as a last resort that someone will finally understand how unyielding and closed Chase is to working with their clients. Perhaps in writing, someone at Chase Visa will get it and come up with a solution. Although this is an unsecured debt & a closed account, I had continued to make payments when I was financially able. Chase has refused to work with me in any way, shape of form. In addition, I intend to go public with this case.

He then came back, saying he thought that it's because they charged me for the annual fee and that triggered an interest charge. So, they charge you a fee, and that triggers an interest charge.

I needed a VISA with a decent credit limit as the specialist I am seeing doesn't accept American Express which has been my card of choice for years. Also, I was looking for a card that would allow me to perform a balance transfer so I would only have one bill to pay each month. I decided to go with the Amazon VISA through Chase because I am a die hard fan of Amazon and their customer service.
I applied for the card and was approved instantly. I then called to inquire about a credit increase. Much to my surprise, I was immediately connected with a live person. I talked to a total of 3 very friendly and helpful people. I got my credit increased to $6,500.00 and was told that when I received the card I just need to call 1-888-291-5079 to get the ball rolling on my balance transfer.
Well, I called today and to my delight I was immediately talking to a live person. When I asked to set up the balance transfer I was told that I can't as there are no offers on my account. When I explained the situation, I was transferred to her supervisor who was very polite and tried to assist me. However, I was again told that I could not do a balance transfer without an offer on my account even though this was the premise for my credit increase in the first place. So now I am left upset with the fact that I was lied to when I applied for the card. I had my credit checked multiple times and my time wasted. I just can't comprehend why they would lie to a first time customer. Now, I need to deal with multiple bills.

I have been a loyal customer to Chase more than 10 years. I went over my limit by approximately $1000.00 for 4 months (not consecutive). They closed my account. I have not missed a payment.

Last year, my wife and I both applied for Southwest.com Rapid Rewards Credit cards through Chase. The reason we applied was that they promised 1 round trip flight for each of us with our first purchase. They failed to let us know that it would be a long time before we received them. We received our cards and made our purchases, planning to use our free flights for a summer vacation.
Well, by the time we reserved our flights, we were still waiting on our rewards to appear, but had to book without them. We were disappointed and called to let them know. During that conversation, we clearly asked them about the expiration of those rewards, because we wanted to use them for a summer vacation the following year (2012). They assured us that as long as we booked before the rewards expired, we could travel any time in 2012.
Today, we tried to book our travel through Southwest today and we were told that since the rewards expire in April and June respectively, we won't be able to use either one for our travel! I called to discuss this with Chase and the gentleman was very nice. He asked me how much the flights would total and I said the two flights from Las Vegas to Washington, D.C. would be just under $1,000. He said that all we would need to do is book the flights and call back, and Chase would be happy to credit us the full amount to compensate us for what should have been two free round trip tickets to anywhere in the US. I asked him to be sure and he assured me that everything was in the notes and we just go ahead. So I did. Now Chase is refusing to credit my account.

I am sending this message due to improper professional services of your corporation because of an ongoing situation regarding my Chase MasterCard! As of February 16, 2011, I have not been able to use my MasterCard due to what your department called suspicious activity that someone other than myself ordered a new MasterCard under my name. But my card was never lost or stolen. I went to a store to purchase something and the transaction said invalid or declined to that effect, so I thought it was just the system or that the card was getting old and worn due to years of usage. The next day I go to another store to buy something and the same thing happened. They claim that someone from San Jose, California ordered a system called e-fax, which to a non-technology person, I do not know what that is at all and your company labeled it as suspicious activity!
A representative of your company did call and left a priority message stating there’s a problem with my account be it was too late to rectify the situation before the account was closed! I spoke with one of your representatives on February 18, 2012, and she assured me that a new card would be mailed out in 5-7 business days, even though I did not lose or the original card, to clear of any wrongdoing. I unfortunately agreed to this process and figured to have it by the last day of February! I understood that it was a holiday on February 20th and that weekends do not count as normal business days! So I was very patient in waiting for it! I did not receive anything in the mail or e-mail or phone call since that day. So on March 1st I called your company again and inquired about my new card’s whereabouts and this representative told me that I should not have been able to use that card since October 2009. The representative said it was cancelled then and they do not know how the card was able to be in usage for 2 and a half years!
This representative also indicated that a new card was never authorized to be mailed out, so they said that they would go ahead and authorize a new card be sent out and put into expedite mailing though FedEx and a $5.00 card would be subtracted from the account that I am not able to use or check my finances at all! I agreed to this and they said it would be delivered sometime today! Now, today I stayed home on purpose. I am single so I have no one else to sign for a priority package. I wait all day--no package delivery. So I called again at 4:00 pm this afternoon and another representative tells me that a new card was never authorized to be mailed out and that the original card was just closed on March 1, 2012 and that the card was still open since February 16, 2012. how is this possible!
I am trying to be understand your corporation, but I am extremely perturbed at this lack of professionalism by 3 different representatives giving me 3 different bogus reasons why my card was deactivated and now one is able to give me a reason why this has transpired at all! This situation is affecting my well-being on a business front as well as my normal day to day activities. I am a disabled person that is unemployed and need those unemployment benefits that I am not able to even check my finances since the original was disabled. Now, I have no injection of capital coming in to pay bills, rent, food, etc. Honestly, if it was not for the card being used for unemployment benefits being transferred into the account, I would tell to cancel the card in an unprofessional way.
I feel I am getting a run around on this situation and something funny seems to be going on that I am not being told about. Look, all and all I just want a card to use ASAP and I hope I am not charged a second time for expedite mail that is never sent out. What's the point of being charged without no delivery? I hope that my voice is being heard by someone in your corporation and that this is resolved ASAP! If I do not have a card by March 15, 2012, further action will be taken into accordance against your company! Thank you for your time and attention on this very unfortunate situation!

Over the past 10 years, one by one, the banks I had credit cards issued from were taken over by Chase. Then Chase would reduce my credit limit which would increase my debt ratio which in turn reduced my credit score, which resulted in not only Chase but other banks increasing the rate on my cards. When I tried to explain to their customer service reps how debt ratio affects a credit score, they acted like I was speaking a foreign language.

On January 2, 2012 my mother had a slight stroke at 82 years old; she lives in VA near my daughter whom is authorized on all of our banking accounts. My mother per her attorney added me on for legal reasons to her credit card due to better tracking of financial for her. Over the past ten days, I have lived thru hell with your company. All of my mother’s bills come to me in Illinois as I am in charge of her finances. When I went to purchase her RX the card was declined. I called and started the roller coaster events. I am ill and sick over Chase's operations. So, on this day that the bright and shining star of a supervisor Rebbecca put a close on my mother’s account I hung up on her because when she asked to speak with her, I put her on and she not only insulted this 82-year old woman and said, "You are not the customer Mrs. Pape", but she also advised me that my mother never lived in Parma Ohio, which If they would look on her credit card that for 30 some years.
Yes, they did: she advised me that my mother lived in Illinois. Haha. The address on her account, email and phone is mine. Does she know the difference of billing and mailing address? So I spoke with Kelly **, supervisor in Orlando, Florida, Dawn **, Bernadette, her manager Barbara ** whom never called me back, Niki **, and oh, yes, your operations manager, Joseph **; Jeff **, Jamie **, Debbie ** and so on that was to get this fixed. So they were so kind to FedEx today, 1-27-12, a card that was to be for my mother and I. Guess what: the card was only for me. So I called one of these monkeys and they told me the card was activated and good to go! Haha. I went to get my mother’s groceries and guess what? Declined! And they are going to FedEx my mother’s card tomorrow!
So I called and spoke with Brett tonight at the office in Elgin, IL on Randall Road. He called me back to tell me that he and supervisor Rebecca who insulted my mother found out the issue! Yes, some pee on at Chase knows more than the operations manager and understands legal. He and Rebeca closed out the new accounts and said he did not understand why Mr. Joseph ** did not know the legal grounds of me being POA; I could not be a user on the account! Yes! He is going to educate your operations manager about legal issues. So now my mother’s account is not accessible for me to pay on line. Go ahead. I dare them to send her to collection. And I still have to pay on my Chase credit account all of her bills until I spoke with these monkeys Brett and Rebecca and understand that these people know the legal issues of this whole thing.
Also, my mother has an auto debit from GE Service for her electronics and TV and when they try and hit her account that was closed the contract will become voided. Again, you will have to pick up that tab, too. I now have almost $5000.00 that Chase can happily write off my credit card for my pain suffering and embarrassment along with my mother being upset. If I would have spoke to Brett to begin with he would have told me that his upper management people did not know what they were talking about. In fact he is going to call Joseph ** on Monday to let him know. So I have written a letter to the BBB, the state's attorney office, NBC, CBS and ABC in Virginia and Chicago to see if these nice people would help me.
I look forward to:A. No Call backs.
B. A lawsuit in progress.
C. Some idiot telling me telling me how sorry they are.

On January 2, 2011, I received a letter from Chase stating that they had reviewed my claim and were unable to change the promotional date based on the information that I provided. Not satisfied with their decision, I made a note to pay off and cancel the credit card as soon as the promotional period expires (December 23). I just (12/21) called Chase to confirm my payoff balance and stated my introductory 0% APR end date. The customer service rep told me that his notes have my 0% introductory period ending on 12/2/2011.

Although the account would be in her name, the purchases and payments I made on the card would contribute to my credit score.
We were told that we would receive a note confirming that I was an authorized user after paperwork was sent on October 22 by the personal banker. My mom and I received our cards but nothing else. I couldn't associate the card with my other online accounts, and I could only pay my bill over the phone. I decided to call Chase for an explanation of why I hadn't received the paperwork. I called Chase and requested to speak to the same personal banker who had mailed out our materials on October 22. I tried to refresh her memory and she kept asking me questions that had already been clarified previously.
Finally she pulled up enough information to remember opening the joint card for my mom and I. She connected me to the "credit cards department." I was on hold for about 15 minutes. She then said I was not approved as an authorized user and that I would not be able to build credit. I asked if there was any point in having the card, and she said yes, I could make purchases with it. I reminded her that the whole reason I went through the process was that I had been told I would be able to use the card to establish credit. She said as a "courtesy" that she would send me information on why I was rejected.
My mom canceled the account the next day and they apparently told her that I was rejected because I was not deemed responsible enough to pay a $5,000 fee if need be. She replied that it was insulting because of the size of the inheritance I have. It could easily cover $5,000 and thousands more. I'm taking all of my accounts out on Saturday. Chase led me on and has now lost me as a customer.
