Consumer complaint: I received an unfair and very upsetting response from Bank of America regarding my payment that they debit from my account, when I made a payment on XXXX XXXXJust because I am behind on my payments that does not allow them to take more then XXXX payment without my authorization. Please investigate this case and have them credit my account XXXX payment as a courtesy due to drafting my payment for more than XXXX payment and fess from my checking account and leaving me with any money to feed my kids or gas for work and unable to pay my bills. Its was snowing that day and was scare my light was going to get cut off because I did not have the funds available to make my payment because they took all my funds from my checking. Plus they charged me NSF fees because I placed a stop on my payment and took my bank XXXX to XXXX days to clear that transaction.

Consumer complaint: I have had a checking account with Suntrust Bank for approximately ten months. Over a month ago, I lost my debit card associated with this checking account and reported it lost. The customer service agent told me they would cancel that debit card and send me a new XXXX in about a week. A week later ( approximately ), I received XXXX new debit cards with XXXX different numbers, separately, by mail. I tried to activate both of them. XXXX would not activate, with a message saying the card was invalid. The other did activate, so I continued using that XXXX when I made debit card purchases. 
Over the next month, I noticed that online transactions that I had authorized using the old debit card I had reported lost, continued to be put through my account. Some examples included online memberships, like XXXX, as well as some trial magazine subscriptions. I wondered how they were being processed, because I never updated these companies with my new debit card number. XXXX transaction for {$90.00} for a year subscription to XXXX XXXX was put through my checking account using the old debit card number from the one I had reported lost. I called the customer service of the bank to dispute this debit card transaction. The agent put me on hold to investigate, then came back on the line to tell me that there were XXXX debit cards associated with my checking account. In other words, the debit card that I had reported lost was never cancelled, and transactions that I had previously authorized on the lost card, like online memberships, etc, were still being put through my account. 

The customer service agent gave me a hard time about disputing the {$90.00} transaction for the subscription to XXXX XXXX and it took nearly a week for me to get a {$90.00} credit applied to my account. The bank is considering the transaction as a case of FRAUD against my bank account and has sent me an affidavit form to fill out for a case of fraud against my bank account. 

This was not a case of FRAUD, as I reported my debit card lost nearly a month prior to that charge. This was a MISTAKE by the bank -- -- they never cancelled the lost debit card and continued to authorize transactions on it. 

I am reporting this because these are serious mistakes made by this bank. And for this reason, I will be closing my accounts with Suntrust Bank.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX, I had a XXXX XXXX Credit card. This card was used fraudulently and a large amount was on the card. I reported this to XXXX XXXX and they denied the fraud report and proceeded to debt collection. The debt was then turned over to Frederick J. Hanna & Associates located in XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. I then started to receive phone calls that were very disrespectful and threatening. They would not stop harassing me. In XXXX I was apparently sued by Frederick J. Hanna & Associates. I was never notified about the suit that eventually went to default judgement against me. After the default judgement a lien was placed on my home that I was never aware of. I am now trying to refinance my home with a VA to VA loan and can not do this due to this lien. I am a XXXX XXXX Veteran on Social Security and have been taken advantage of by this law firm. I know they have violated The Consumer Credit Protection Act with the way they were doing business with my account. As I said before I was unaware of this judgement and lien until last week XXXX/XXXX/XXXX when I tried to refinance my home. 
Thank You,

Consumer complaint: Bank of America has charged me late fees for several months even though I had signed up for electronic payments which were set as minimum payment by the account manager. Months went by before I was contacted regarding late fees since the minimum balance was not being taken out. I decided to pay off the account which I did before the payment due date and now they are charging me a {$37.00} interest fee, this on top of all the late fees they have erroneously collected from me due to their mistake.

Consumer complaint: My escrow payment increased significantly from one month to another without warning. I still do n't understand why this issue could have been avoided. After several calls to my mortgage company Castle & Cooke I remain confused with the lack of customer service provided. 

Company response: Company believes the complaint is the result of a misunderstanding
Consumer complaint: I receive repeated calls daily from this company. I signed up for a debt consolidation service and they continued to call my personal phone and my place of employment. 
Causing a phone to ring repeatedly in the attempts to annoy or establish communication is against the law. I have asked for the calls to stop and sent a cease and desist and still the calls continue. 

Company response: Company can't verify or dispute the facts in the complaint

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I requested proof of debt, under FDCPA, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that my claim is disputed and validation is requested. 

What I got from Eastern Account System Inc. was a computerized generated print out. This is not valid proof.

Consumer complaint: I am a XXXX veteran. After XXXX XXXX destroyed the VA hospital, we were advised to seek emergency treatment at the nearest facility and we will be reimbursed. In XXXX XX/XX/2011, I used XXXX Ambulance service to rush me to the nearest hospital, and my family and I advised them that VA was my only insurance. They failed to submit a claim to VA and put me in collections. during the 2 year period they had to submit a claim, they nor their collection agency never called me. I assume is because they can get away with billing me over {$XXXX}. But, they could only bill VA a minimal amount. I recently requested that they submit the request for payment with the VA, the XXXX Representative declined to respond. I believe this is a deceptive practice aimed at getting more money from the patient, then the government.

Consumer complaint: Purchased wrong items at Macys online using a Macy 's Gift Card. Items wrong sizes. Customer service tells me to place new order for exchange using my Macy 's credit card account and they will then credit this account for exchange. 
Macy 's incorrectly ships XXXX replacement orders when they receive the returned items. 
After 45 Days of waiting and contacting Macy 's numerous times, Macy 's has still been unable to correct charges on my credit card account, and Macy 's has charged a late fee as well for not paying my credit card account on time for the incorrect charges to the account.

No confidence with Macy 's credit card account.

Consumer complaint: I recently submitted a complaint against Regions Bank in regards to their illegal practice of changing transaction orders in an effort to charge more overdraft fees than would have been made had the original transaction order been kept. I have just received a letter in the mail from Regions Bank regarding this complaint. In this letter they say that they have reviewed our accounts and they can find no instance of an overdraft fee being charged on a day when the transaction would have been under {$5.00}. Therefore there was no bank error so they can not refund our money. Of course they ca n't find an instance of it happening because they changed the order of the transactions before they charged us the overdraft fees. I feel I am getting the same run around as I did when I contacted them before about this problem. They ca n't find a problem because they did such a good job at covering up what they were doing in the XXXX place. They will never find an instance of it bc they changed the transaction order. That is the problem. That practice is illegal. They have been fined and sued over that very practice already and yet here they are doing it again and getting away with it because they say they ca n't find a problem they created. Please help us! This bank is taking advantage of consumers ' trust and ruining our lives. Because of what this has done to our credit we can not get loans, financing etc. we struggle to get things we need to live a normal life and are harassed by collection calls in reference to the debt caused by this banks practices of changing transaction orders. We can not be the only ones they are doing this to. Please help!

Consumer complaint: I got a phone call from a woman from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying i took out a payday loan from the cash store. They told me they were an installment loan place. the lady told me i was going to be charged with a misdemeanor and go to jail as well get sued. she got very nasty with me yelling at me and reading stuff off of my credit report. she called me at my place of business i asked her not to and she said they could do whatever they want. I asked her to mail me documentation on her allegations and she said no she would just have my county proceed with charging me. I know my rights but for someone who doesnt know this could have been very scary. the amount she said i owe is more than XXXX of what i borrowed. i did make payments towards it when i got it as well. I hope they are investigated and learn that you can not talk to consumers in that way. threatening is no way to collect a debt, i worked collections for many years. i asked to speak to a supervisor and the rep proceeded to tell me she was the owner of the company.

Consumer complaint: BB & T improperly denied our repeated request for modification never providing any tangible evidence or explanation as to why. They then took advantage of us with servicing shortcuts and unauthorized fees. They failed to promptly and accurately apply payments made, and charged unauthorized fees for default-related services resulting in a huge amount of accumulated fees, penalties, and interest. They deceived us about foreclosure alternatives. They failed to provide accurate information about loan modification and other loss-mitigation services, they also failed to properly process our applications and calculate our eligibility for loan modifications on XXXX separate occasions. They provided false or misleading reasons for denying loan modifications. They threatened and engaged in illegal foreclosure practices. They provided false or misleading information to us about the status of foreclosure proceedings where we were in good faith actively pursuing a loss mitigation alternative also offered by them. 
I believe they have realized their mistakes because just recently after refusing to grant our requested modification for the third time, they somehow added my name to the mortgage and approved it for modification. They had previously turned it down even though our circumstances with income and debts were the same or even better. When I asked why they approved it this time after the previous denials they told me that maybe the guidelines had changed. They could and would not send me anything in writing explaining why it had been previously denied but was now approved. Can they just add my name to the mortgage? If so, why did n't they do this on our prior attempts at modification? The process took over 6 months each time we applied for modification and has caused an accumulation of over XXXX in late fees and penalties. We are currently in a chapter XXXX bankruptcy and we are waiting on the court to approve the modification inside the BK. During the previous attempts at modification they would never provide any concrete explanation of why we were being denied. The modification is still higher than our initial payment was by approximately XXXX to cover all the accumulated interest, fees, and penalties. They should n't be able to get away we should be made whole even to the point of having the mortgage forgiven and receiving a sum over and above for damages.

Consumer complaint: Hello, I was student at XXXX college and school was closed before I got to grauduate. I applied for loan discharge with XXXX and those loans are supposed to be forgiven soon but I still have a balance with genesis lending about XXXX $ and I was told that I am responsible for this loan even if my school closed on me. I think this is unfair, I suffered enough already, waisted 2 years of my life and now I have to start all over again and have to repay closed school balance. Genesis lending loans have to be forgiven too.

Consumer complaint: I have my first Mortgage with US Bank they have reported to the credit bureu that in the last 14 months I have been 30 days late XXXX times, 60 days late XXXX, times and 90 days late XXXX times. This is not true, and I am in the process of trying to refiance my home and this is when I found out, this is not the first problem we have had with US Bank they tried to take my home for XXXX missed payment about three years ago but in the end they did a uneccessay loan modification and when we received the final paperwork it was a 40 year loan on a house I have owned since XXXX 1992, we went to the Attorney Generals office but recieved no help so we had no choice but to go with it, I have all the paperwork for that and now this. I printed out my bank online payment report for them and I have never been 30,60 or 90 days late. I called US Bank today and they agree with me and told me I need to go to the credit source that reported it and they will get back with US Bank and that will take care of it. I have contractors ready to do work on my home now and I can still get the XXXX but my interest rate will be higher. This is not the first time I have had problems with US Bank, they tried to take my home three years ago for XXXX missed payment when my son was very sick and I missed it on accident but instead they modified the loan which was not necessary and gave me a 40 year loan without disclosing that before we agreed. I went to the Attorney General 's office but received no help. I need my credit corrected today but they want me to go through this long process for something they caused.

Consumer complaint: We were approved for a mortgage. All the necessary deposits were made. All necessary information was given to the mortgage company. The day of settlement, just hours before we were to sign the papers, the mortgage company backed out. Leaving us with only a week to find somewhere to live. There explanation was that we had a late payment due to me being laid off for 9 months in 2013. Why can a lender do this just hours before settlement.

Consumer complaint: I had sold an item ( Snap-on XXXX Portable Gas Generator XXXX - XXXX ) to buyer : papooseman for which this buyer later opened a false item not received ( XXXX ) case on XXXX ( Case ID:XXXX ). The item had been delivered to the buyer as tracking clearly showed and shipping was purchased from XXXX, so XXXX did rule in my favor and release the hold on my PayPal funds ( see attached - Unique Transaction ID # XXXX ). Recently, when I was tallying my inventory and funds, there was a discrepancy of about {$480.00}. So, I rechecked all my transactions on PayPal. Shockingly, PayPal had reversed/refunded these funds to the buyer, even though XXXX had ruled in my favor. I then appealed to XXXX who said they find it in my favor and would ask PayPal to return the funds back to me. It has been more than two weeks and this matter has not been resolved. They are just transferring me from one department to another. They did not provide me any chance to provide a rebuttal. This is blatantly unfair. Please help me out.
