Consumer complaint: Over a year ago, I had misplaced a credit card ( issued by Continental Finance ). I knew it was in my house somewhere and had not been stolen, but I could not find it. I called Continental Finance to replace the card, explaining there was no fraud, I just needed a new card. They said they would send one in the mail. It never came. I made no less that 5 calls to Continental Finance with the same request. Each time, I was told my card would be sent to me. I never received the card. Each time I called, I was told that there was some kind of security alert on my card, that was causing them to not send my card. I eventually gave up and paid off my card in order to close it. Once I paid the card off, I called to close the account. They apologzed for the previous problems, and told me they closed the account. This happened in the beginning of XXXX. XXXX XXXX I was billed for the {$18.00} account maintenence fee. I called to complain. They never could give me a straight answer, as to why my account was not closed. They have said they have closed my account again and refunded my charge, but I can not take them at their word, because each time I have called, they have claimed to resolve my issues, and have failed to do so each time.

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed by my credit card company XXXX XXXX XXXX that someone has been using or attempting to open credit card accounts using my name, date of birth and social security number without my permission. The suspect has already opened several credit card accounts and committed the crime of theft in XXXX California. The suspect stole my identity by using my name, social security number and date of birth to commit theft and avoided payments and capture from the law. I reported the incident to the XXXX credit card bureaus such as XXXX, XXXX and Experian. I had to place a security freeze and a fraud alert in order to prevent the suspect from opening further credit card accounts without my permission. I had to dispute numerous fraudulent charges against me committed by the suspect in XXXX California. I filed a XXXX XXXX Police report on XX/XX/XXXX and gave copies to some merchants or credit card companies along with my driver license and personal information in order to prove my real identity. I also gave the police report to Experian and other personal information in order to place a 7-Year Fraud Alert and Security Freeze. Experian refused to assist me and refused to place a 7-Year Fraud Alert based on my request. I requested Experian for the XXXX Fraud Alert because I do NOT want the suspect to steal my identity for the next 7 years and continue the crime of theft. Experian refused to assist me and ask for more personal documents. I already sent Experian the copy of my driver license, my social security card, my DMV bill and property tax bill verifying my true identity. Experian refused to assist my request. I would like Experian to be fully investigated and would like to know why it still requesting more personal documents. I need help and Experian refused to assist me after I reported being a victim of identity theft. I disputed the fraudulent charges against me because I never lived in XXXX California. The suspect committed these crimes of theft in XXXX California and provided a false or fake southern California address in XXXX, California. I ONLY live in XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and NEVER in XXXX California such as XXXX, California.

Consumer complaint: The debt collector contacted Me via Cell Phone XXXX XXXX. At this time she told me I had a Debt of $ XXXX and needed to resolve this before she sent me to jail for writing a false check. Understanding that I do owe the debt, we worked out a payment arrangement. After a 30 minute discussion about my bills and what I could afford, she came up with a schedule, and amount of payments to be made ( Monthly Payments, XXXX at {$60.00} Each and XXXX for {$25.00} Each totaling {$220.00} payments for 6 months ) and she would eliminate the debt completely. After satisfying all payments, The last of which was in XXXX, I assumed the debt was settled. She then started calling me XX/XX/XXXX saying we need to set up a payment agreement to finish of the rest of the loan amount, and that we had never agreed to what i had already paid. After multiple harrassing phone calls in the very early morning and late evening, I called and left a voicemail. I told her specifically that i could not afford to continue paying anymore and that I could afford to pay off whatever we could agree on in XXXX When i get a little extra pay. XXXX XXXX She called my wife 5 times asking for me. After my wife answered she explained to the lady that this is unacceptable behavior and asked what this was about. The lady rudely said that her supervisor took the account from her a week ago, that he had taken it to their attorney 's office, Issued a warrant for my arrest, and i was to be served with papers the following business day. I Immediately received a frantic call at work from my wife telling me what was happening, and called her back. This time her story changed. They had n't Issued a warrant yet, and she could stop the process if i set up a payment agreement. So i set up a payment agreement, and intent to fulfill it. She asked me the payment dates, and i gave her specific instructions to deduct our agreed XXXX {$100.00} payments on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. After our conversation she said she would send me an email containing the payments, and that if i did not complete it asap, the warrant would still be issued and i would be arrested. The form she sent me has different dates on it Payment # 1 XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$100.00} & Payment # 2 XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {$100.00}. This is not our agreement and i can not afford to be jailed for a {$600.00} check i never wrote! Any help would be appreciated.

Consumer complaint: The company is First Choice Assets LLC. They have bought a debt from 2009 and the statute of limitations has run out in CA ( 4 years ) and their practices are sketchy. They start by saying they need to verify info to send an important package ( after 4 phone calls like this I have not received anything ). Then they want verification of the last XXXX of the social security number. After that they start to ask why I defaulted on the debt. It was 7 years ago. I have told them each time they have called that this debt is past the statute of limitations in CA. In fact, the first guy said they need to get this resolved before it runs out ... almost like they know they legally ca n't collect on this. This debt has been removed from my credit report so I know as far as the debtor is concerned it 's over. Each time I confirm that the call is being recorded and each time I have told them that they can not collect anything and I am not paying them a penny. 
One guy asked me if I had ever been served papers regarding a debt. Usually when confronted they just hang up, but every couple of months they call me again. It scares me how many people do n't know the law and are paying these guys for old debts. 
I have asked them to stop calling me, which they said they would, but i doubt it, because they have called themselves by more than one company name and claim no one has contacted me before.

Consumer complaint: I opened an account with XXXX ... however somehow they opened XXXX at the same time. Account # XXXX is the current account I am using and paying for. The second account XXXX was supposedly closed in XXXX, then supposedly credited and closed again in XXXX when I called the second time and sat on the phone for XXXX hours, after being accused of not paying my bills. In XXXX I received a notice from Stellar Recovery that I owed XXXX. I have a bankruptcy on my past and I 've been working to repair my credit. This situation will create problems for me and lower my rating at least until I get it resolved. I 'm very upset. They want me to call the same people who have not fixed this before and sit on the phone for yet another hour.

Consumer complaint: Was charged a {$50.00} return item fee by BB & T on a loan payment that is {$100.00} per month. I did make the error as I tried to make an electronic funds transfer however I incorrectly entered my account t number. There was plenty of money in the account and I a, 3 months paid in advance. It seems ludicrous that the bank can charge a fee at almost XXXX % of the payment and get away with it.

Consumer complaint: Mortgage company is charging me for an unsubstantiated corporate advance for real estate taxes paid that were never paid by the mortgage company. I never even had an escrow with them. This is fraudulent. Requested copies of proof that they paid these amounts and to whom ( requested specifically cancelled checks ) - they ca n't prove they paid it and are unwilling to remove the corporate advance from the account. I can prove that I, and I alone, paid for all of my property taxes. Again, there has never been an escrow on my home which I have owned for 11 years now. How do I get the fraudulent amount removed from my account? I have proof that all property taxes have been paid via my personal bank accounts - I have receipts and cancelled checks, ACH transfers made from my accounts that proved I paid the real estate taxes and not them! Fraud, fraud, fraud! I have spent over 18 months trying to get this resolved but the customer service is non-existent - the agents are rude and clueless.

Consumer complaint: There were a credit inquiry placed by XXXX XXXX of Delaware on XX/XX/XXXX. This should have been a " account review inquiry " and not a HARD INQUIRY placed on my credit report. I recently opened this account in XX/XX/XXXX so why would I purposely apply in less than 30 days?

Consumer complaint: Citi Management in XXXX is the problem. I contacted them stating my situation and the transaction was still attempted. I know they received the call because it was confirmed through one of there worker. They also called my job threatening to send some type of action to my job and they spoke with my HR department. I was informed and called them to work out a plan. The first person I spoke with tried to help but then I was transferred to I guess a supervisor by the name of XXXX XXXX and she did not try to help at all. She is terrible and her customer service is even worse. She went in to some explanation that was not what I wanted to know. She even stated I know that is not what you wanted to hear which was correct. I called for help to resolve the situation and she did not attempt to help. The issues that really upset me is calling my employer when in fact they had my email address whereas they could have emailed my because I could not be contacted via telephone and secondly the threat of legal action when they received they call of my situation. I would like some type of legal action taken against them or legal action that I can take against that company.

Consumer complaint: SUMMARY : I signed up for an Amazon card late last year which reflects charges I do n't recall making. I received XXXX email letting me know I was past due in XXXX and XXXX paper invoices ( XXXX and XXXX in XXXX of XXXX ), but neither of the notices listed the line items for the charges. I now have a collections agency after me and despite my multiple attempts to find out what the charges are for, I can not get an answer. 
BACKGROUND : In XXXX of XXXX, I received my first email from Amazon.com telling me my card is past due. I attempted to log into my account to understand what those charges are. I successfully logged into my Amazon.com account, but the Amazon Credit Card required a separate log which I do not have, nor did I ever have XXXX. I then attempted to log in through the " I forgot my user name '' and then " I forgot my password '' and could not get in. 
On XXXX XXXX, I called the Amazon Credit Card / Synchrony bank and managed to get my account number. While on the phone, I requested information on the charges. I had my address, SSN and any security information, but they told me they could not see what the charges were for. 
I then attempted to log into my account again, I entered my credit card number and it came back to me with, " card not registered ''. 
I received XXXX paper invoice in the mail while I was out of town a few weeks ago. Today, I received a second invoice and notice from a collection agency for my Amazon Credit Card. 
I called the collection agency, they transferred me around a few times and I finally made it to a manager. I spoke with " XXXX XXXX '' XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) at XXXX XXXX about the collection notice. Explained I made several attempts to understand what the charges are for and I still do not have an answer. Therefore, it is difficult for me to send anyone any money unless I know the charges belong to me. She said she would " request for a letter '' to find out what those charges are for, but I had to pay her {$25.00} in order to remove the " delinquent '' status on my account. I explained I am not willing to pay any money until I know what the charges are. She told me to call customer service at Synchrony. 
I called Synchrony, entered my credit card number and last XXXX digits on my Social Security Number. I made it to a representative, explained the situation and they said they " have limited access and I would have to call customer service ''. When I got off the phone I realized the number the collector and Synchrony gave me were XXXX and the same. 
If I did make the charge and I can not recall, I am more than happy to pay for the items, but I find it difficult to pay for something I do n't even know if it belongs to me and it is impossible for me to find out. 
I can use your assistance in finding out what the purchases were for and if they do belong to me. 
Thank you. 
Kind regards, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
