Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX. sent a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' notice on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for a settlement agreement which I replied to on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I called and gave my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX information for the full settlement payment of XXXX from the $ XXXXon acct no. XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a notice from Alpha Recovery Corp for the same account attempting to collect the full amount. I called XXXX and the representative stated that the account was settled but then referred me to their account support but gave me a different account of XXXX to refer to. The rep from the account support stated that the debt was not resolved because of a bad check which was inaccurate because the fund were available per my bank statements. Now, two years later, Alpha is attempting to collect {$460.00} and threatens to obtain a judgment when the account was agreed and settled.

Consumer complaint: I am a Citibank credit card ( Premiermiles/Platinum ) holder. Without any official or oral notice from the bank, my card was frozen this noon and resulted in no availability to pay my lunch with my client, which made me so embarrassing. After back to office later, I phoned the customer service and found out that my credit card was frozen for the reason of high risks of not personal using. 

First of all, I ca n't believe that how could they judged my consumption and payment with this card is not personal using. I traveled a lot and also paid hotels, meals, gifts and leisure. What is personal using? How do they approve my payments are not personal purpose? 

And also, I had not received any notice, even no call/message to inform me that my card would be frozen. Now I could not check any information about my previous statements history and rewarding point is zero. I am going to apply for a XXXX visa, now I do n't know how to approve my financial affordability without the bank statement. 

The annual fee for this platinum card is over XXXX USD which I was forced to pay it in the XXXX month of my using this card. It has been only 4 months for my using this Citibank card. The bank would not be returning proportional money as they have frozen my card. 

All in all, as an ordinary card holder, Citibank is making unfair movement to me as they could always use the corporate privilege against individual client.

Consumer complaint: Hunter Watrfield claims to be collecting on behalf of XXXX some rental company which I never had business with. My numerous attempts to resolve the matter with them went ignored.

I request they DELETE this collection from my report and STOP their harassing collection efforts once and for all!

Consumer complaint: Barclaycard has had my timely payment for a number of years, and rewarded me with a number of increases in my creditline. However, they decided to replace my credit card with a chip-protected card, out of cycle -- meaning, before the current card expired. The card never arrived, I found myself heading into an XX/XX/XXXX wedding, and the holidays without a card. They promised an overnight replacement twice, which never came. I got angry and closed the account, asking for a refund of a {$750.00} overpayment. Naturally, the refund has never arrived. They are now telling me that they need to " open a case '' and it will take another 10 days to investigate. I have to pay them interest if I mess up & pay late. This company is irresponsible and incompetent at best -- and fraudulently witholding money owed, at worst.

Consumer complaint: I first obtained this credit card in approximately XXXX, as a XXXX XXXX branded credit card. I do not recall the bank who serviced the card at that time. I obtained the card because it was marketed as a FIXED RATE 9.99 % card. The marketing promised that this rate would not change. And for the last thirteen years it has not. Other than occasional 0 % balance transfer promotions, I have been paying 9.99 % APR since the inception of the card. On my XXXX bill, I noticed that the rate has been raised to 10.24 %, for no apparent reason. When I inquired about this, I was told that the federal funds rate increased on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and so, in turn, did my rate. But this makes no sense. At the time I obtained the card, the fed funds rate was XXXX higher than it is now. So, why then over the last eight years when the fed funds rate was XXXX have I not been paying less? The card was specifically marketed as having a fixed rate for the life of the card. When I pressed the issue the agent said she could not help me and directed me to call " retention services, '' which is, as I understand it, their sales unit. Why on earth would I buy a new product ( and allow a new hard inquiry on my report ) from a company that is behaving in such an underhanded way?

Consumer complaint: I have disputed information with XXXX I have mailed information like they told me to do so that I can have this fraudulent information off of my credit. At the end of their investigation they said it was verified! I tried going directly through the collection agencies and they told me that if its fraud or the wrong person and to call the original company, but then when I contact the main company I 'm told to dispute it and then talk to the collection agencies.

Consumer complaint: The Credit Reporting company, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) credit card services, intentionally reported my payment status to credit bureaus as 'Unknown ' rather than PAID ; Simultaneously, said bank intentionally removed the value of the subject credit card 's 'revolving credit limit ' thereby 'Negatively decreasing my Credit Score '. These simultaneous negative Credit Card reporting actions by XXXX created an 'illusion whereby any revolving credit usage on behalf of the consumer would provide false percentage of total usage '. The above-mentioned 'diabolical scheme ' surfaced when the consumer PAID IN FULL the balance of XXXX Credit Card nearest the statement cycle closing date and the consumer did not opt to use XXXX 's offer of free FICO Score services. XXXX reported the consumer 's credit card as OPEN with zero balance while 'knowingly removing the revolving credit limit field and while changing the Staus-Field of the credit reporting to 'Unknown ' ; This field had always been reflected as PAID by XXXX as the consumer was NEVER LATE.

Consumer complaint: I have decade old defaults on my credit reports that belong to my wife prior to our marriage. I paid for her defaults in full in XXXX. We married in XXXX. I have written letters to the credit bureaus and did n't receive any assistance and my issue was never investigated. I should n't have any defaults on my credit reports. I have honored every loan I have ever acquired. I 'm a small business owner, my income is {$XXXX} yearly and I have difficulties getting loans because of the discrepancies on my credit score that are not mine. I have to pay cash for everything since I have trouble getting financed which is slowing the growth of my business. Also, I have multiple addresses on my credit file but I 've lived at the same place for the past ten years. And I have inquiries on my credit files that I never sought. The last legitimate inquiry I was responsible for was in XXXX when I bought a car for my wife. But for some reason there are multiple inquiries in XXXX and XXXX. And my credit score has lowered since XXXX and I do not know why. Furthermore, I thought defaults were supposed to drop off after seven years. These old defaults, that were paid off, are over nine years old. I do not trust the credit bureaus and banks. I feel that they intentionally try to lower ones score to make more money via high interest rates on loans. I would also like to add that I do not like credit cards, I do not use credit cards, and I will not use credit cards. Credit cards are rip offs. I dislike that credit cards can have such an impact on ones credit score, good or bad. I always pay for what I purchase but my credit score makes me look like an incompetent derelict. I 'm wondering if I may need to hire an attorney to resolve this if I ca n't on my own. I appreciate your time and look forward to any assistance.

Consumer complaint: Approximately one year ago myself and my son both opened a savings and checking account with US Bank. I am a XXXX, and my son XXXX. 
In XXXX 2015 my son inadvertently deposited a check into my savings account without my knowledge for {$2200.00}. US Bank DID NOT place a hold on the check and my son withdrew all the money and spent it, again without my knowledge. On or around XXXX XXXX, 2015 the check was returned unpaid and stamped refer to maker and, the account was overdrawn over {$2000.00}. My social security benefits and pension check are automatically deposited into my checking account. When the check was returned unpaid I had {$700.00} in my checking account and US Bank transferred that money into the overdrawn savings account. I learned about this when I went into one of the branches to cash a check for cash. The teller told me that the savings account was joint with my son, and they had right of offset. I never added my son or authorized anyone to include him as a joint signer. That would make no sense as we both had our own accounts. 
On XX/XX/2015 when my social security benefits and pension were deposited into my checking account, US Bank would NOT let me withdrawal any funds until the overdrawn savings account was covered. 
I am almost XXXX years old a XXXX Veteran, a widower, and fighting XXXX. My social security and my pension are my only source of income and what I rely to live on. 
I feel I should NOT be responsible for something my Son created and, I had no knowledge of. 
I reaching out to CFPB because US Bank will still not let me have access to my money. 
I thank you in advance, and look forward to some assistance

Consumer complaint: I purchased a {$1100.00} washing machine in XXXX 2015 on my Sears Mastercard with no interest, deferred billing for 12 months. In XXXX, 2015 I did a balance transfer to the same XXXX for {$4300.00} using their Convenience Check sent in the mail. In XXXX 2015, I purchased for my mother a {$1500.00} refrigerator using the same XXXX. Of the XXXX options at the time of purchasing the refrigerator, I opted for a 5 % discount on the price by using my credit card. The other XXXX options were deferred billing or free delivery. I had created a budget to pay off these charges within the time frame and have been making steady payments. Knowing that I was going to pay off the refrigerator in full when the statement came, I noticed that on my other charges Sears has been allocating like 98 % of my monthly payments to the large balance transfer ( which cost me an upfront fee of {$140.00}, and it IS NOT accruing interest like the washing machine is ). Upset by this and more importantly, I was worried that the refrigerator ( as a current charge ) would not be paid in full, even though I was paying it in full, I called Sears. I found out today exactly what I had feared. I had paid {$1800.00} this month of which Sears DID NOT allocate the full {$1500.00} to my refrigerator and now I have an interest charge on it! They paid around $ 1100+ and the rest of my payment went to the balance transfer, not even the washing machine which has {$170.00} of deferred interest. The Manager in North Carolina would not help me. I was given a bunch of rhetoric. I was told that if I had managed my account better this would not be the situation. They love to say " there is a hierarchy payment structure. '' I was told her hands were tied. So, I told her that I was filling out this complaint as we spoke. She said, " You got to do what you have to do. '' I told her I am and that you guys would be my muscle. She called me back in about XXXX minutes and left a message that they would pay the refrigerator in full. But, a bigger problem still persists. What started out as a 12-months, same as cash offer to pay off the washing machine has now been squeezed into a 5-month same as cash to pay the remaining balance of {$1100.00}. It 's been 7 months since I have been making payments and that balance has gone down by only {$15.00}! This is criminal. I now have 5 months to pay off {$1100.00}. I am so upset and feel so abused by the banking system. Please help me. I do n't know how I 'm going to get that {$1100.00} paid in full by XXXX to prevent the {$170.00} in interest. I still have a balance due on the balance transfer. No matter what I pay, they refuse to allocate any money toward the washing machine. My reality is that I have to pay around {$3200.00} by XXXX to avoid paying {$170.00} in interest. You have done a tremendous job in credit-card reform with how statements read concerning revolving debt and payments. This is the next major assault that you have to blow the lid off. I am desperate.
