Consumer complaint: In XXXX 2014, I was visiting a XXXX XXXX store and was offered to sign up for a rewards account to earn points for purchases at the store. The clerk assured me it was not an application for a credit card, so I provided my name, address, and phone number. I did not provide my social security number. A few days later, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that the credit card application they received in my name was incomplete, so they could not give me a credit card. I immediately called the customer service number on the letter and explained the situation. They apologized and said that any resulting inquiry on my credit file would be removed. To this date ( XXXX XXXX, 2015 ) the inquiry remains on my credit file with TransUnion. I would like the inquiry on my TransUnion credit file removed because I did not apply for the credit card and the employee at XXXX XXXX submitted my name and address as an application for credit.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I was in the process of secure financing to buy out my lease ending on XXXX XXXX, 2015 from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I leased my vehicle from XXXX in XXXX and recently relocated to XXXX, with the intention of purchasing the vehicle at the end of the lease. I contacted Wells Fargo Financial Services The Wells Fargo Inbound Sales Specialist, XXXX XXXX, informed me that if I went through Wells Fargo for financing, not only would they help get me a competitive interest rate, they would also take care of the title, registration, license plates, and tax payment. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I made an appointment with the Wells Fargo Inbound Sales Specialist to finalize this loan at a local Wells Fargo branch in XXXX, XXXX where I would be speaking with a local Private Banker, XXXX XXXX. During the contract review process, I was informed that I would be financing {$15000.00} for the payoff as well as sending separate checks to Wells Fargo in XXXX, XXXX who would be taking care of the tile, registration, license plates, and tax payment directly with the State of XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Private Banker as well as the Inbound Sales Specialist, XXXX XXXX, informed me that I would be receiving the registration, title, and license plates by mail and that I could expect these between 7 - 14 business days. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I still have n't received the registration, title, and license plates so I contacted the Wells Fargo office in XXXX, XXXX to learn that there was an internal issue with the paperwork and that they were sending my checks back to me, where I would need to take care of all the paperwork on my own. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a phone call from the Inbound Sales Supervisor, XXXX XXXX, accepting responsibility for the issue and apologizing, but that nothing can be done and that I would need to take care of all on my own. This situation has me believe that I was sold a service that was not part of the original agreement secure financing and interest by misleading me. I do have email correspondence between all parties listed above and myself, indicating that the paperwork would be taken care of by Wells Fargo.

Consumer complaint: Reporter to credit agency is XXXX. They inaccurately report rental property addresses on property that I own to be personal residences of mine. Makes me look like I have lived in XXXX different places, many times simultaneously. Have tried to dispute with Experian, and update failed to address the disputes. possible XXXX issue is XXXX reporting utility billings as loans, where credit limit is {$0.00} and balances are listed as greater than loan limit. 
At this time, these uncorrected errors are costing me thousands of dollars per year in property insurance costs as insurance companies ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) have begun incorporating credit score into premium rates.

Consumer complaint: I am a former customer of Bank of the West ( FDIC # XXXX ), who spent much of XXXX and XXXX attempting to close my personal checking account. I initiated phone communication with Bank of the West on XXXX XXXX, when my bank was in good balance, and was immediately thrust into a bureaucratic nightmare. When I called the XXXX number, I was informed that I had to speak with the branch at which I opened the account. As I have moved away from XXXX XXXX, where the account was opened, I found myself with no recourse but telephonic communication. 

I attempted to call the branch at which I opened the account, and was put off, despite multiple tries, by the manager 's unavailability. Each time, I was promised a return phone call. No call was ever forthcoming. 

The account was in good balance until XXXX XXXX, at which it became overdrawn. I promptly deposited {$30.00} into the account, with the intent of establishing a positive balance, but was immediately swamped with overdraft charges. Simultaneously, a previously scheduled XXXX charge XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15 XXXX went through on the account, despite my attempts to get XXXX to remove the charge. Still, I believed this would be fine, as I had deposited enough money in the account to cover the charge. What I did not realize is that Bank of the West 's egregious grift had all ready eaten in the money that I had deposited. 

While this was happening, I was still making attempts to contact Bank of the West at their XXXX number and at the branch where I had opened the account. There was no traction with the XXXX number, as they insisted I need to speak with the branch as the balance was negative. I found myself caught in a XXXX -- I could n't close the account because the account had a negative balance, to which bank of the west was adding incurred fees each day. The local branch, meanwhile, did not return any attempts at communication. The manager was always " out to lunch. " With XXXX exception, ( a {$0.00} XXXX charge on XXXX/XXXX/15, again unexpected ), the account underwent no use, yet it continued to accrue daily overdraft charges until the XXXX of XXXX, when Bank of the West closed the account and referred it to a collections agency. 

It is my fear that my experience has become a standard business practice of Bank of the West, whereby both the unexpressed and expressed desire of the institution is to refuse the closure of accounts for financial gain, with the threat of ruin to any customer unwilling to participate in its usurious scheme. 

This unscrupulous practice of exploitation and abuse of Bank of the West 's customers must neither be tolerated nor sanctioned by its governing bodies and insurers.

Consumer complaint: They say they are called " pioneer credit recovery ''. They are calling from XXXX. 
They have been calling me at work even after I informed them not to call my work line. 
They continue to call during business hours as well as calling and leaving messages after business hours. 
If I am not at my desk then my employees will take the call and I worry about the caller tarnishing my reputation with my employees.

Consumer complaint: I applied for a refinance of a mortgage loan secured by an investment property in XXXX. The property is vested in the name of my revocable trust. I applied with GreenTree Servicing, my current loan servicer, which in turn got XXXX involved. During the application process, an employee of XXXX and then a couple of days later a title company employee asked for a " full copy '' of my trust agreement. When I asked the XXXX employee what her authority was for the request and asked whether they would accept a trust certification or memorandum of trust, I never received a response ( see emails attached ). Upon being asked by the title company, I did some research and learned that the law in XXXX is the same as XXXX where I reside. The XXXX statute 46A-10-1013, provides : " A person making a demand for the trust instrument in addition to a certification of trust or excerpts is liable for damages if the court determines that the person did not act in good faith in demanding the trust instrument. '' I offered to provide a trust certificate. As I see it, asking for a copy of the full trust agreement was unfair and made in bad faith. I am a XXXX so I know that conditioning the approval of the transaction upon the receipt of information that a lender is not otherwise entitled to could be viewed as abusive. How many unsuspecting borrowers are being asked to provide this information when a lender has other options and is clearly not entitled to receive it??? When is GreenTree going to get its act together? I cancelled the loan application and am looking to refi with another lender because I do not want to do business with any company that can not conform its activities to those that are lawful. 

Company response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law
Consumer complaint: XXXX claims to have sold the loan and servicing rights to an outfit called Select Portfolio Servicing, but after calling I have learned that the new lender and servicing company have no record of me or my account. I am convinced that payments sent to the new servicer will not be credited properly. They do not even have a Website.

The Company they are collecting for is : XXXX XXXX XXXX Co. I want some specific details on the who, what, where, when, and how. I have health insurance through my employer and auto insurance through a Company in the mid-west. I 'm going to file a complaint with the Department of Insurance as well.

Consumer complaint: they call my cell phone my work phone constantly saying my social security number has complaints against it they want a legal statement or they will take me to jail. i dont even know what this is about. 

Company response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law
Consumer complaint: I had a {$51.00} credit card statement balance, on or about XXXX I disputed a {$50.00} charge, on XXXX I received an email from US Bank stating they had received my dispute and would contact me in XXXX days ; I have still not received a reply. 

On XXXX XXXX, I paid the {$1.00} remaining balance on my credit card, as I am not required to pay the disputed amount during the dispute. 

I was charged a {$27.00} late fee for not paying the disputed amount, a {$2.00} finance charge and received my new statement stating I must pay all {$79.00} XXXX XXXX ). 

While I called customer service and they removed the fees, it seems that if I have an item in dispute, by charging me a late fee for not paying the item in dispute they are violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act and they may be doing this to other customers as well who do not know their rights.

Consumer complaint: this is the third party is call me threatening me if i do n't pay will take me to jail./or they reported to credit bureau. 

Company response: Company believes the complaint is the result of a misunderstanding
Consumer complaint: I called to extend my lease for 1month. I was told the fee would be XXXX. I was told XXXX times that I would be sent the extension paperwork-not to send in the payment alone but with the document of extension. I was told this and waited. The paperwork did not come until 19 das later. My phone has been ringing with them calling me telling me that I am late ; I have explained my situation but to no avail. I have asked for the harassment to stop. I blocked their phone number but now another one of their phone numbers call. My last appeal for the incessant calls I was told that until they received the paperwork the calls would and could not stop. Interesting though I thought since they did receive my check. I have never been late with a payment and want others to know about the awfulincompetent service. I am afraid this will never be righted and my credit will be affected. The XXXX has had XXXX complaints in 30 days.

Consumer complaint: After being a customer of XXXX for TV ( $ XXXX/month ) for 5 or more years, I became so frustrated with lousy reception and the need to change boxes or have a technician come to the house so often, that when a service person called after a weekend in XX/XX/XXXX if we had called over the day or two before that I told him that as of that time we were discontinuing service with XXXX. I figured that at most we had received 5 days of 31 possible days of service that month, and I sent XXXX a check for 5 of 31 days billing, totalling {$14.00}. This check was cashed by XXXX, but I was billed until XXXX, XXXX 
Furthermore, I called XXXX to pick up their equipment. No one came to the house, and after the XXXX call they sent a postage paid box for me to mail by XXXX their equipment. They received it, and the mailing took place in the XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any receipt for this. 
In addition, I have receipts for equipment loaned or rented to me by XXXX back to XX/XX/XXXX. 
I received bills from XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, and on XX/XX/XXXX I received XXXX calls, presumably from XXXX but possibly from a collection agency in XXXX, TX, who began mailing me notices of my past bills and statements that my credit rating could be damaged if payment were not forthcoming. I received the XXXX written notice from the credit collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. 
On a phone call of XX/XX/XXXX a woman asked if XXXX XXXX sent the cable box and equipment. I told her of my letters of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX setting out my position and verifying that I 'd sent the equipment as they requested. 
I spoke on XX/XX/XXXX to a representative of the credit agency and told her that when a human being from XXXX contacted me, I 'd be glad to communicate with him/her. As far as I know the credit agency has a copy of my original letter of XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. 

The last printed claim against me for this bill from the collection agency was postmarked XXXX XXXX. I have not opened all the printed notices, but adjustments were made, and I am said to owe XXXX {$220.00}. 

I have had up to XXXX calls a day from the agency. Most I do not answer. A recording asks me to verify who I am, and says what the matter is, gives me a reference # and their XXXX phone #. From my standpoint the calls are a type of harrassment. Furthermore, XXXX billed me through XX/XX/XXXX, then adjusted a bill or XXXX, saying that I had had no service since XXXX XXXX. In the meantime their monthly bills had increased. 

I am asking if you think I am being harrassed. I shall be happy to print out my message to you and send it to XXXX. 

Thank you.

Consumer complaint: I had a past due balance from an apartment Complex called XXXX XXXX which was sent to Hunter Warfield, a collection agency. I spoke with XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX who said that my balance was {$570.00}, but was willing to settle for {$220.00}. I was unable to do that as I originally planned. I called the agency back today & spoke with XXXX XXXX who now says that my balance is {$580.00}. I asked why and he said that they charge interest and that they 've had the account since XX/XX/XXXX. When I .looked at paperwork from XXXX XXXX, my balance was {$520.00}.

I was requested to call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They threatened me with orders to put me in front of a judge concerning a debt of {$13000.00} which I do not owe according to my credit reports. They refused to supply anything beyond the name Consumer Asset Management and the phone number already supplied. When asked for the license number and address their response was that it is public domain and was refused this information. When asked for a written validation notice, they refused and said that they will only send out a letter of offer of settlement for {$4000.00}. I again asked for validation notice only and was refused, again only being offered the settlement letter and being told that once that settlement letter was sent I accept the terms of the letter. I refused and said I will not do anything until I receive a validation notice. They stated they are not required to send those out. I said I was reporting them to the FTC and he said " go ahead '' and hung up on me.
