Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/16 I contacted US Bank to request payofff amount for my US Bank HELOC. On XXXX/XXXX/16 sent check via USPS Certified Mail for payoff amount as of XXXX/XXXX/16. USPS shows check delivered on XXXX/XXXX/16. Check not cashed as of XXXX/XXXX/16, called to inquire, was told checks take 3-5 days to process, would not be charged the per diem ( {$16.00} ) for the processing time, account would be {$16.00} each day for the 2 late days ( payment was sent for payoff as of XXXX, but USPS Certified Tracking shows delivery on XXXX ). As of XXXX/XXXX/16, check still not cashed. Called to inquire evening of XXXX/XXXX/16. Was told check was submitted for incorrect amount ; check had been returned to me in mail that day. US Bank held the payoff check from XXXX through XXXX, never tried to contact me. US Bank claims the per diem of {$16.00} is owed for each day they held the payoff check ( XXXX x 9 days between XXXX and XXXX ). Check was written for payoff date of XXXX, and I should pay {$16.00} per diem for the 2 days after payment was made. It appears US Bank deemed the check to be insufficient to pay off the loan ; did not submit the check for payment ; held the check for 9 days without contacting me, all in an effort to hinder paying the loan off in order to continue collecting the {$16.00} per diem. This action is underhanded and should not be allowed.

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX, XXXX To whom it may concern, On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we received a debt collection letter from Credit Collection Services, however ; the debt was paid on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The debt was paid to XXXX, also known as XXXX ( according to XXXX ). In XXXX of XXXX I called XXXX at XXXX and made a payment for account # XXXX with a XXXX credit card ( see attached statement ). The account was previously handled by a company called XXXX XXXX. In XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I received another collections notice from XXXX and I called and spoke to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, she assured me everything was taken care of and to disregard the notice, confirmation # XXXX. As mentioned at the beginning of this letter, in XXXX of XXXX my husband received a collections letter from Credit Collection Services for the exact same amount and file number and he paid the outstanding balance AGAIN, because I was not home and he thought the charge was legitimate. I would like the letters to stop and I want to make sure CCS refunds my husband 's XXXX XXXX Credit Card immediately. The charge is for services rendered in XXXX of XXXX by XXXX XXXX, therefore ; there are no other outstanding bills because these are the only services rendered on such date ( see attached claim ). We hope this gets settled ASAP.

Consumer complaint: I initiated a balance transfer over 6 weeks ago with my credit union to pay off my Citi Card account. Citi has subsequently refused to apply the payment. I have been fighting with them for over a month. First they claimed they did not receive the check, when I provided proof that they did ( and deposited it ) they then claimed they could not tie it to my account. When I pointed out that the copies of the check clearly show my correct information they made me send information to payment investigations. Two weeks ago it was confirmed by Citi that the payment was located and would be applied to my account. It still has not been and they refuse to give me further information. Meanwhile I cancelled all of my autopayments with them and confirmed it with a representative. Two weeks later they are claiming that I did not do so and they will not allow me to do so. They are stealing my money.

Consumer complaint: My loan was apparently sold from XXXX XXXX to Loan Care XX/XX/XXXX. I have for the last 25+ years had my taxes escrowed and received the check XX/XX/XXXX to pay them before XX/XX/XXXX. At XXXX time I contacted Loan Care and asked about my check for taxes. They were going to look into it and get back to me. I again called before the first of the year and they told me they were waiting to receive the tax bill from my municipality Treasurer. I spoke with him and he said that was not a true statement and I was the only person they send the bill to. I again called them and they again said they would look into it and get back to me. Again, they never got back to me. I called after the first of the year to get the same song and dance from them. This time I wrote down the persons contact number and she said I had to send a request to change my escrow because it was marked to be paid to me XX/XX/XXXX. I talked to my mortgage lender that I does my financing and he said in his 20+ years he has NEVER checked box XXXX to have anyone 's escrow paid in XX/XX/XXXX and they were lying with the statement they gave me. I did send the email requesting they change my escrow to be paid to me in XX/XX/XXXX and I have a copy of it. They were to get back to me and of course they did not. 
I filed a complaint with the XXXX on this company and I was told that they would respond again within 10 days, that was now over three weeks ago and I have not heard a word from anyone. After talking with an attorney, I was recommended to contact you about my situation. My mortgage lender told me he was getting several complaints from others who had the same issues with the same company " Loan Care ''. 
I have busted my XXXX to maintain a perfect credit rating even with the divorce I went through three years ago. I had to personally pay nearly {$3000.00} in taxes out of my savings to avoid being delinquent this year. I have still not received a phone call or a check from Loan Care and they also have my insurance in escrow so I can just imagine how that is going to play out next month. I hope you can go after these people and fine the XXXX out them for what they are doing to the consumer. Please help me get my money back from them and I hope you can put an end to their unethical practices! 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: I took out a loan from XXXX Boulevard Cash '' back in XXXX 2015. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, I have not been able to re-pay the loan. While I understand this is a debt that must be paid, I can not make the payments right now. I have communicated that to the debt collector " XXXX XXXX '' who calls me on a weekly basis to follow-up with my status. Back in XXXX 2015, XXXX XXXX started calling my work daily and would give information to my colleagues. Since I work at a XXXX, the debt collection calls at work were inappropriate and I contacted Boulevard Cash to stop calling me at work. They agreed to remove my work phone number. However, today, I received a voicemail from Boulevard Cash at my work number. XXXX XXXX was following up on the same debt that has been pending with Boulevard Cash. I have asked for him to provide me IN WRITING with the debts that are owed. He stated on XXXX different occasions that he would and I sent an e-mail to " XXXX XXXX '' to give me the debts in writing as well, with no luck. I would like Boulevard Cash to be made aware that they CAN NOT call me at my work number. The only number that I should be contacted at is my cell phone number, which is the number they already have on file : XXXX. Thank you.

Consumer complaint: I received a netSpend prepaid MasterCard in the mail for which I never completed an application. I have never dealt with this company and do not know how it has my information. Additionally, the card was sent to the temporary address where I am living, which makes me even more suspicious of the company and the offer. A XXXX search showed many other complaints about this company and the fees charged for everything from checking your balance to using the money you load or have deposited on it.

Consumer complaint: I paid XXXX for a notary renewal course. They did not send me the link in a timely fashion and I had to file a complaint with XXXX. Once the complaint was filed, XXXX sent me the link to the course and filed proof of said with XXXX, so the complaint was closed and my payment was sent through XXXX to XXXX. 

I completed my course and sent the necessary proof of completion to XXXX and requested that they send me, via email, my course completion certificate so that I could take my XXXX XXXX exam. 

XXXX informed me that they would not be sending me my Cerificate, claiming that I had dishonored the payment/not paid them and that they had sent the bill to a collection agency called Fidelity Creditor Service. 

I called Fidelity Creditor Service and told them the urgency of the situation, as my income will stop if I am not able to renew my notary license. I spoke with XXXX at XXXX and advised him that XXXX would not release my certificate until the collection agency told them I had paid the account ... ..the account that never should have been placed with collections in the first place. XXXX said it would take 48 hours to clear up, and we began to argue as I felt this was unacceptable as this should have never been sent to collections in the first place and because I was going to have to reschedule my notary exam if I did not receive this certificate asap. XXXX then told me that if I faxed the document over that, " oops, we did n't receive it. '' would happen. At that time I then asked him to provide me an email address as well so that I would have double proof that I had sent the info over. XXXX refused to provide me with the email address and again made sure that I knew that anything I sent by fax would some how not be received. 

I called back 11 times and left messages with XXXX and spoke with another person named XXXX and neither of them would provide me with an email address to send the proof of payment to, since XXXX had made it abundantly clear that anything I sent by fax would be intentionally lost. 

This collection agency has been informed that his account was placed with them maliciously and is refusing to accept the proof that the account should have never been placed with them and has blatantly told me that anything I fax over will be conveniently lost/not received. My account number with them is XXXX.

Consumer complaint: When I requested my free credit report from Experian, I paid what I believed to be a {$1.00} fee to obtain my XXXX digit credit score. What I did not know was that Experian also enrolled me into a {$21.00} monthly " membership '', which I still do not even understand what the purpose was. I was charged for two months service without noticing the charges, and finally noticed and requested a refund. The company took several days to respond to my request to cancel the membership, and only refunded XXXX of the XXXX charges.

Consumer complaint: Several years ago I had fraudulent charges on my citi card # XXXX and Called to cancel my card and dispute the charges, however CITI failed to remove unauthorized charges or help me to resolve this fraud issue and left me in full responsibility for the purchases I did NOT make or authorize. In order to save my credit from being damaged even further I agreed to installment payment via auto pay to CITI which I have been paying for serveral years now ( see attached proof ) however citi STILL reports this account as a charge off on my credit report EVERY MONTH which causes further damage to my credit on the monthly basis even though I 'm paying on this card every month as agreed ... 
Please help me take this off my report! my numerous attempts to deal with citi went ignored and I always end up being transfered to one person to another and they eventually hang up on me..

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/2015 I initiated a wire transfer from my personal bank account at XXXX in XXXX, XXXX to a business bank account at Wells Fargo Bank in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Not long after I initiated the wire transfer process, I received a telephone call from the Wells Fargo Fraud Unit informing me that I am probably the victim of fraud and that I should contact my bank ( XXXX ) immediately to have the wire transfer stopped and/or recalled ; due to the 6-hour time difference I was not able to contact my bank until the following morning when they opened. The Wells Fargo Fraud Unit did not take any steps to stop or intercept the fraudulent wire transfer that they called me about! 

I sent the money to : XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Attn : XXXX XXXX Phone ( XXXX ) XXXX Wells Fargo Deposited to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I immediately filed a felony criminal complaint with the XXXX Police Department via telephone and they have since arrested and charged XXXX XXXX with felony fraud. I have been working steadfastly with XXXX trying to resolve this issue and to get Wells Fargo to refund my money via reverse wire transfer since Wells Fargo identified the wire transfer as fraud, recognized that they were depositing into a personal account instead of a business account and that the account holder 's names were not the same and did not intercept or place the wire transfer on hold until it could be verified. Unfortunately, Wells Fargo bank has given me nothing but lip service and the run-around and wasting my time while I tried to resolve this amicably. My bank ( XXXX ) wire transfer department has sent the Wells Fargo bank no less than a dozen secure XXXX messages trying to recover this money that they put into the wrong account. However, Wells Fargo has completely ignored my bank and refused to even respond to them too. 

I am attaching a true copy of the original wire transfer instrument to this complaint. Please investigate and make Wells Fargo bank follow the rules and refund my money.

Consumer complaint: They claim this amount due was for a bill incurred during XXXX. However, I have went back many years on my credit and had seen where several collections companies have passed this around. I called and asked if this debt was time barred and they stated they had no idea what that meant and refused to even acknowledge the terminology. I then called the company of who the debt is owed and after much time they determined this debt was from XXXX and written off. Well passed the statue of limitations. The company where debt was owed agreed with me and is sending them a letter to show account balance owed XXXX and they did not hire them to pursue this further.

Consumer complaint: I set up my on-line account with my Bank of America [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] account to withdraw " the amount due '' from my account each month, meaning ( I thought ) the statement balance. For three months in a row Bank of America only withdrew the minimum payment of {$25.00}, and charged me interest on the unpaid balance. 
Each month I called and asked them to correct it, and they reversed the fees. This month I called to complain and a courteous employee explained that " amount due '' on their website options meant " minimum payment plus fees and interest. '' That is not the ordinary meaning of " amount due '' and no previous employee had bothered to mention that to me. I believe this is a strategy to prevent people from paying off their balances when due and incurring expenses interest charges.
