Consumer complaint: I am applying for a mortgage and was getting a pre approval when my loan officer told me I had a collections debt from XXXX still on my credit report from 2010. First of all, that debt was my father 's not mine but they attached it to my name and it affected my credit in XXXX when I was applying for a mortgage the first time. I went with my father personally to the place and paid that debt for him in order to get it taken off of my credit history. Now again, it 's still on my history after settling and paying the debt of {$2200.00}. I need to get this removed because it is lowering my credit score. I have to paperwork dated XXXX XXXX 2010 to prove it. There is also a pending class action law suit vs. XXXX collections agency that I an a part of. Please help.

Consumer complaint: My tax refund was direct deposited to a netspend prepaid card. I filed my taxes with turbo tax. Once my tax refund was deposited to my netspend card within a week and a half there was fraudulent activity on my account so I filed disputes and closed my netspend prepaid card account. 

Once the disputes were investigated it was proven that fraudulent activity had occurred and I was to be credited back {$340.00} back. Since my account was closed I was told that I would be sent my return of funds by check mailed to my address of record. When I never received my check I called netspend several times and literally spent over 3 hours on the phone in XXXX different calls trying to find out when I would receive my refund from netspend. I was hung up on several occasions. I was treated very rudely then I was told that my check was sent to the IRS because that is who originally deposited funds in my netspend account. 

I spent countless hours on the phone and in person with the IRS only to be told that they have nothing to do with a refund due me from netspend because of fraudulent activity on my netspend account. The IRS stated they never received anything back from netspend. The IRS said once my original tax refund was deposited into my account they have nothing more to do with my netspend account. That makes sense to me. 

After speaking with the IRS I made several more attempts to get my {$340.00} from netspend. Once again they told me that they sent it to the IRS. The IRS states they never got it and would never accept it even if they did. 

This has been going on since XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet received my {$340.00}. I keep getting the run around from netspend. I am XXXX and have been treated like trash by netspend and still nothing has been resolved. I am at my ropes end. This has caused so much emotional distress having to go through this. 

I want my {$340.00} from netspend they have been holding it for nearly 3 months.

Consumer complaint: I sent a letter to Experian dated XXXX/XXXX/15 to dispute some inaccurate items on my credit report. I then received a response from them dated XXXX/XXXX/15 stating that my letter was suspicious and not sent by me. I 'm not sure how they determined this when I even attached my driver 's license and utility bill to confirm my identity. I even called them on XXXX/XXXX/15 regarding the suspicious letter and the representative gave me a hard time and refused to do anything with my dispute letter.

Consumer complaint: I have had several problems with shellpoint mortgage servicing as you probably hear from consumers on a daily basis since it is the WORST Mortgage company ever for customer service. I have been getting foreclosure letters from Shellpoint and are working with NCHFA ( XXXX housing finance agency ) to get assistance ( medical/decrease in work hardship ) however time is running out and I requested last week ( via shellpoint rep XXXX XXXX ) to know what is my balance and he said that he did not know as they were going to have to order a copy of the Attorneys fees and charges even though my loan has no official " projected foreclosure sale date '' as I was told by this customer service rep. and that it would take 24 hours to fax me a copy of the attorneys fees to my fax machine at my desk ( XXXX XXXX ). Today makes 4 days and the copy of the attorneys fees has not shown up so I called the " only '' number for Shellpoint ( I reached loss mitigation dept. ) and a representative said she was connecting me to the foreclosure dept in XXXX, and some Rude Rep answered the phone, did not say his name, did not identify he was working for shellpoint servicing and said he did understand what I was requesting and asked me to repeat myself, when I repeated myself he said " you know what hold on and hung up the phone on me '' Outrageous customer service!!! I called back to the only number shellpoint has and spoke to one of the reps who keeps trying to get me to speak to another Rep in loss mitigation ( XXXX XXXX ), and I told her I DO NOT want to speak to XXXX XXXX ( this company acts as though XXXX XXXX is the only person working for Shellpoint ) and if I waited for XXXX XXXX to return any of my calls I would be in full foreclosure from waiting. I asked to speak to someone in charge and/or to connect me to the foreclosure dept and the rep just keeps trying to get me to speak to XXXX XXXX, so I ended the call. So in getting the run around from this company, time is running out and it appears that I am being forced into foreclosure sale, which is what I believe this company keeps acting like they want me to do because they keep stalling, please assist me in getting the total cost needed to bring my account current. Thankyou

Consumer complaint: I have had a master card account since XXXX, services by Bank of America for at least the past XXXX plus years. When paying my XX/XX/XXXX bill, I followed the instructions on my payment slip to advise Bank of America of my new mailing address ( Their printed instructions ). On XXXX XXXX, I received my XX/XX/XXXX bill, however it was addressed to my old address & forewarned to me by the post office. I called Bank of America customer service. After endless waiting & being disconnected, I finally spoke with a so called supervisor named XXXX. He told me they still had my old XXXX address on record & not my new XXXX address. I explained that I followed the instructions on the XX/XX/XXXX payment slip. He proceeded to scold me & tell me it was MY fault & that I should have called them to make the change. Several times I read to him the printed Bank of America instructions on the payment slip, and every time he interrupted me to say it was my fault & I should have called. He would not answer my question of why the Bank 's payment slip says to do it the way I did ( which by the way worked with XXXX or XXXX other credit cards! ). He just kept saying it was my fault and was so rude I simply said to please cancel this card! I have emailed a few people at Bank of America, but I doubt I 'll hear from them! Imagine treating a cardholder since XXXX so rudely? If this shows up as anything other than account closed at customer 's request, there could be a negative impact on my credit! This XXXX was so obnoxious, I would n't be surprised if he logged the closing as bank request!!

Consumer complaint: Bank of America reported me to the XXXX as a suspected fraud activity that had happen to my account which I did not know the check I was given was fraudulent. The company that I worked for went bankrupt and issued all the employees their final paycheck. I took the check I was given and deposited it into my checking account via atm thinking the check was good. When the bank processed the check they closed my account and reported me to XXXX for suspected fraud activity. Now I am forbidden to open any bank account for 7 years. I had no control over the pay check I was given cause I did not know the check was bad. I do not believe I should be banded from opening up a checking or even saving account from any other bank.

Consumer complaint: I was profiled as a XXXX male in XXXX Wells Fargo branches and yelled at in a XXXX branch over the phone and then was told by corporate security they were closing my account. This guy yelled at me. I have reported this to wells Fargo. And asked to get the video tapes of my harassment. They will not help and refuse to acknowledge any wrong doing on the part of all employees involved. They have denied me access to any wells far go bank and said they will call the police on me if I ever go into a wells fargo bank again. This is XXXX and an act of XXXX threats towards an individual consumer.

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX, 2014, XXXX XXXX sent a letter to Frederick Hanna & Assoc. to settle my account with XXXX XXXX. They advised them to make direct contact with them and to seize contacting me. Well, a year later, XXXX XXXX has frozen my account and placed a garnishment against me. This is enabling me to pay my mortgage and resulting in insufficient funds against my account. Frederick Hanna & Assoc. have yet to contact my attorney through XXXX XXXX and are forcing me into bankruptcy. Are n't debt collector attorneys required to communicate with Legal representation on behalf of the consumers?

Consumer complaint: This bill belongs to my ex wife for her child, XXXX XXXX who is not my child. The military allowed step children to be on my insurance. This DOES NOT make me responsible for her bills. Her parents, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are responsible for this bill NOT ME. We were separated and preparing for divorce at the time. I never signed taking responsibility for her bills other than providing insurance coverage for her as allowed by law. Allowing the childs mother to put me as being responsible for their child does not make me legally responsible for their bills. 

There are XXXX accounts for this child that have been sent to collection in my name! I want all XXXX removed immediately!

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I purchased a new vehicle and attempted to trade in my car previously purchased from the dealer. At which time the car dealer where I purchased said I was up side down on the car. So I placed a down payment on the new purchase ; that Monday XXXX I placed a call to Ally Car Financial and informed them of my purchase and explained the situation to the Customer service person. At which time I asked them to take possession of the car. The customer service rep place me on hold and stated she would contact collections and explain then transfer me ; she returned from on hold and stated she could not transfer me because collections were refusing to speak with me. I informed them of where the car was located to retrieve and that I would not be making anymore payments. Since they have not picked up the car my credit is being affected by the delinquent payments. I know the repossession will affect my credit which is my decision but the delinquent payments are due to their refusal to pick the vehicle up.

Consumer complaint: Bank Of America. 
There was fraudulent activity on my business checking account, via card number. 
I submited a claim, and after speaking with their customer service, they could not do anything immediately and wanted to sent me paperwork to dispute the charges, within XXXX business days. Unacceptable. I was forced to request a manager who could - in fact - reverse the charges that were processing, and he reassured me that when the charges actually post to the account - there would be AUTOMATIC adjustments applied to take care of the balance. I would not be negative again. 
The next day, the {$850.00} charge posted, and of course, there was no adjustment, PLUS an overdraft fee for this charge. 
I called Bank of America again ( on the XXXX of XXXX - ironically ) and their business checking and claims department were closed, and literally no one - not XXXX person I tried to contact within my XXXX hour phone call ( plus the hours I spent the day prior disputing charges and going to my local branch to get my replacement temp card ) - NO ONE could tell me anything regarding my account, because they did not have access. They could not tell me the person 's name whom I spoke with the day prior, they could not even tell me my balance, let alone what was happening with my account, because they had zero access!!! On the XXXX, Bank of America could not help me. 
This is the second time in XXXX weeks my card information had been compromised. 
I do not allow other persons to use my card, and I am very concerned about the security policies here at this bank, plus - the customer service for its business banking customers. Being overdrawn almost {$900.00} and not being able to speak to anyone about it is extremely disconcerting, and I will be pulling my money from this bank and closing my accounts immediately. I am outraged at the service I received. 
The banking associate at my local branch issued me a temp card - which began with the same XXXX digits as my last replacement - and had the same expiration year. Why would a bank issue cards with matching numbers? Is n't this making it easier for fraud? 
Why was I asked to fill out paperwork regarding charges that were clearly not mine? 
Why was I alerted by my bank about the charges - but charges were made thereafter? 
Why could I not speak to anyone regarding my account, on a holiday? So what? There are n't XXXX people in the world that are working today on behalf of their business consumers? 
As a new business, a situation like this could be crippling. I have thousands of dollars that I need to deposit to continue functioning as a business - but I can not trust my bank and I am forced to switch banks, which will not be an easy change, I can only assume.

Consumer complaint: I was served with a notice of small claims court for a debt. I called the company and settled the debt making monthly installments for the next XXXX years. I am currently paying XXXX $ a month. I was assured that the court case would be dismissed as we settled outside of court. However, I received a Entry of Judgement notice in the mail last night. So they obviously never dismissed the case.

Consumer complaint: I am XXXX yr old single father on XXXX. I have been trying to negotiate my mortgage modification with Wells Fargo Bank for a solid 4 yrs. That being said I have been assigned no less than XXXX " Home Preservation Specialist 's ''. I have never been able to speak directly to any one of them, leading me to believe they are fictitious names. In paperwork correspondence WF gives you your " specialists '' extension number, When you call them you are not even given option to dial ANY extension number. 
The reason for this letter is not only for my own relief, but to highlight what continues to be a practice of toying with troubled homeowners until they have no options but to foreclose. 
Wells Fargo deliberately ignores the efforts of homeowners to make reasonable arrangements, even when they become possible for the homeowner. They need to be stopped. 
Thank You in advance for your shedding light on this serious problem.

Consumer complaint: I am submitting more evidence in my credit dispute regarding an item on my credit report # XXXX. 

I do not dispute that my payment to XXXX XXXX was 30+ days late. I 'm disputing the reason WHY the payment was late. I have already spoken with them and they removed the late fee once they heard WHY the payment was late. 

As you may be aware, the XXXX was hit by devastating XXXX this winter. In XXXX, the XXXX. During this time, I had all my bills forwarded and was able to keep up with all my credit obligations ; however, I apparently misplaced the single XXXX XXXX bill and so it was late. Once I learned of the delinquency, I paid it immediately. They were cooperative with me, and removed the late fee. 

I have a pristine credit record, which I have worked very hard to achieve. This late fee on my credit report has dropped my credit rating from XXXX to XXXX. As I am nearing retirement, this may have devastating impact on my ability to purchase a retirement home, move, etc. 
I know that credit reporting bureaus have the ability to remove information should they so choose. I urge you to take my prior and pristine credit into consideration, consider that the store in question had no problem recognizing that the 30 + day delinquency was due solely to extenuating circumstances, and the impact the drop in FICO score has on my credit report and my reputation. I am also sending this along to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as I know they are interested in issues of this type.
