Consumer complaint: US Bank - Bait and Switch. I responded to a web based offer, offering free XXXX XXXX points with a " bonus award nights '' promotion, if I signed up for a US Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX card. The company would offer XXXX XXXX hotel points to sign up for the card, pay a {$75.00} annual fee, and spend {$2500.00} on the card within XXXX months. As part of this bonus, one can use the points to book hotel rooms through XXXX XXXX, and if one books XXXX or more nights in a row, the last night is Free. This is a significant offer and the primary reason I signed up. ( A friend of mine did the same ). After signing up, I received the card in the mail with the rewards program details ( see attached ). I received this XX/XX/XXXX. When I called to activate my card, I asked about the rewards program and was told that the bonus award night promotion was ending effective XX/XX/XXXX. I was quite perturbed and felt misled, however, when I told the US Bank representative ( her name is XXXX ), after conferring with her manager, she told me that because I had just signed up for the card, the bonus award night promotion was being extended until XX/XX/XXXX. I made her confirm that this was indeed the case, prior to activating my card, which she did. Since she confirmed, I activated the card. Today, XXXX XXXX, I called in to attempt to use some award points to book a hotel room and was unable to utilize the bonus night promotion. When I called US Bank they told me that the program ended on XX/XX/XXXX for everybody - no exceptions. I spoke to multiple customer service reps to inquire as to why I was misled when I was activating my card. None of the customer service reps would not let me speak to XXXX or her manager, despite multiple attempts. I let them know I would be filing with the NC Attorney General, and they tried to " bribe '' me with XXXX bonus points. I did not take this, and told them to close my account and refund the {$75.00} annual fee. I feel that US Bank blatantly lied to me in an attempt to gain me as a credit card holder to pay a {$75.00} annual fee and spend money on their card. I would sincerely appreciate the NC Attorney General 's office looking into this matter. Their are many reports online of people having similar issues with US Bank, specifically as it pertains to their XXXX XXXX program. Thank-you. - XXXX

Consumer complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I am filing a complaint against Bank of America ( BOA ). 
I have had both Savings and Checking accounts with Bank of America since XX/XX/XXXX. After making some deposits into my accounts recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ), my accounts and ATM card had been frozen without any justification. When I went to the Bank, they could n't give me any justification or reasons as to why my accounts and ATM got frozen. 

Later, the bank issued a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stated that they have made the decision to close my accounts and the balance will be mailed to me in a cashier 's check. 
I went back to the bank once again and demanded that I must know the reason as to what prompted the bank to come up with this decision. They would n't tell me anything and handed me a toll free number to contact. 

I called the toll free number ( XXXX ) many times and left several voice mails, but received no calls from the Bank authority. 

I received a cashier 's check with the balance that I had on my saving account dated XX/XX/XXXX. 

Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter from Bank of America stating that they have closed my account and remaining balance ( checking account ) wo n't be returned to me. 

I went back to the bank once again with the letter and asked why my remaining balance ( Checking account balance ) wo n't be returned ; the bank authority insisted that they have no information and asked me to call toll free number ( XXXX ). I obliged and called. Left voice mail once again and as of yet, I have not received any calls from the Bank of America. 

Please note that I had a significant amount in the checking account and as of yet, Bank of America has not returned my money that was left in the checking account. 

Bank of America also treated me as a customer very poorly. 

Attached please find some attachments that will help to determine how Bank of America dealt with me.

Consumer complaint: Wells Fargo Home Mortgage had offered me an incentive to complete a Deed in Lieu on my home that I could no longer afford. That process started in 2013. I abandoned the home on XXXX XXXX, 2013 as required by the documents from Wells Fargo. This was an extrememly long process and the home was just transferred out of my name recently. The home has been sold and new occupants are in the home. My incentive money is no where to be found! When I try to call Wells Fargo I get disconnected because my loan number with them is no longer valid, obviously. Customer Service transfers me everywhere except to a real person who can answer my questions. I was promised an incentive of {$2000.00} to complete the Deed in Lieu.

Consumer complaint: I applied for a loan with Loan Depot XXXX. The process was a nightmare but I have a specific complaint about the loan. Loan Depot sells the loan to a 3rd party. They approved and " funded '' the loan on XXXX XXXX. That is when I started paying interest on the new loan. However they did not pay of the old loans until XXXX XXXX. I was charged duplicate interest for the loans during that period of time. I should not have to pay interest on a new loan until they actually fund the loan and pay off the old loans.

I undid an Annunity with Merrill Lynch XX/XX/XXXX. I had held it past 7 years so theysaid I could do that as I prepared to downsize and have money to put down on a house until sold present one. 
What I did not know until tax season here XX/XX/XXXX that there was a " GAIN '' on it and I would pay more then a few hundred on the gain. 

I was not familiar with gains on this type thing and Was told legally by Merrill Lynch they can not even discuss gains or use that term. I apparently waived paying taxes thinking it would just be a few hundred dollars!!!! 
Little did I know I owed {$7000.00}!!!! 

I have talked for 3months to Merrill Lynch and have no satisfaction. They have said Legally they have done everything right. They told me government set up this rule to not discuss gains and that is upto me as a consumer to know or ask, so I am out of luck. 

There is a lady in XXXX with Merrill Lynch that has done the research and sending the paperwork to me!!!! 
So all I Know is I live in XXXX, XXXX and apparently some banking rules need to be changed so another XXXX citizen does not literally pay the price like I did. 

SincerelyXXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: I have been constantly been getting annoying phone calls from a debt collection agency over a debt that is XXXX years old. I tried to reach a settlement with the collection agency in which they replied that they would get back to me with a response. One of the representatives then proceeded to daily harass my family members stating that they where going to arrest my mother, garnish my aunts social security benefits. I contacted the debt collection agency and asked them to please stop calling my family members and if they had any further questions to contact me either by phone or email, i received no calls from them but they continue to harass and intimidate my aunt. I called the agency again and told them that i would make payments as previously discuss i just wanted in writing what we had agreed on the amount of settlement and the monthly payments that would then follow. Still i heard no response from the agency they continued to intimidate my aunt about my debt. The problem is this agency wont accept payment if it is not cash and they ignore the fact that i am requesting written notice of the settlement amount we had agreed on. I also dislike how they continue to badger my aunt about them garnishing her social security benefits, and telling her they have a lawyer. My aunt is XXXX XXXX woman whose only income is her social security benefits, she is ill and does not need a collection agency aggravating her daily with threats.

I provided copies of several months of statements to support my position, copies of correspondence, and copies of FTC opinion letters to get them to correct the entries on XXXX, XXXX, and Experian.

Consumer complaint: I have been banking with Wells Fargo Bank for almost 2 years now and they have always charged me with insane fees. When I make a purchase, the funds get taken our of my available balance but their system manipulates it to where it goes back to your available balance and at a later date they take it out making it look like you made the purchase with no sufficient funds. It is designed to make you overdraft your account and so they can charge you {$35.00} NSF for a {$4.00} transaction. I have receipts of when I made the purchases that caused me XXXX charges of {$35.00} and I should't have been. I called their customer service and they wanted to just tell me how the system works instead of helping me out so I do n't have to make the complaint.

Consumer complaint: NetspendXXXX XXXXMy card was hacked a year ago during a breach with XXXX XXXX. Netspend notified me and sent me a new card and my old card was supposed to be cancelled. I noticed on two different occasions that the card was still active so I called customer service and attempted to speak to the customer service. I say attempt because the only english they seem to speak is what is written on their script but they assured me the card would be cancelled. Well here we are a year later and the card that was supposedly cancelled got used in XXXX about 7 times within 15 min and took {$600.00}. I immediately called when I got the text alerts ( the charges started at XXXX and I called at XXXX same day ) and told them not to approve the transactions which were still pending. Again the lack of understanding english was a huge barrier and three different customer service reps told me different things. I finally got someone from corporate to call me back three days later and she stated since this was clearly their fault my money would be credited by the end of business. Here we are and no money. I am unable to talk to the corporate office again they told me they cant transfer me, my money is no longer pending but paid to the company in XXXX, and now they are telling me it can take up to 60 days to see my money because it was posted I had to file a written dispute that must be investigated. They admitted to me that this card was part of the security breach and should have been cancelled but there was nothing they can do to help me and they refuse to transfer me to corporate again. This is outrageous, never have I had such difficulty when a company clearly dropped the ball. Now my mortgage is going to be late and I have no idea when I will see my money. They refuse to allow me to speak to an American or give me the corporate number. Total I have spent over 5 hours on the phone and all I get is some foreigner reading off a script. They will not give me their names either when I speak to them! I am wondering if I should contact an attorney. 

Company response: Company believes complaint is the result of an isolated error
