Company response: Company believes the complaint is the result of a misunderstanding
Consumer complaint: I received an unsolicited XXXX debit card in the mail from " netSpend. ", associated with " XXXX '' - shown in the documents sent with this unsolicited card.

Consumer complaint: Hello, mortgage : XXXX XXXX in dispute : XXXX XXXX report # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Experian to dispute a delinquent payment on my credit report. I was advised the mortgage company had to correct the late pay and resubmit to the credit bureau. I sent my mortgage company a copy of my XXXX postal tracking # It was mailed as a 2 day priority. 
As of today, this is STILL showing delinquent on the credit reports. Per Experian, they closed my dispute in XXXX hours, referred me to my mortgage company and to date, have not corrected or removed my late payment as an error or acknowledged as such. 
EACH late pay cost me XXXX points on my credit report. For them to force a lower score on me is questionable and unethical. It appears that they use " late pays '' as a means to force people to purchase their credit products. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX I contacted my mortgage company yet Again and was advised the XX/XX/XXXX is showing current in their system. 
Please advise. Thank you for your time.

Consumer complaint: I opened an account with Bank of America in XXXX. I had been a faithful customer with them for 10 years and never owed them any money. I had a credit card like I said opened in or around XXXX but they offered me a 0 % APR FOR A YEAR I kept asking the terms about this but they just kept telling that I could get any loan without an APR if I did this within one year as that was as long as this offer was good for. They said nothing about additional APR % charges either. It was my XXXX time so I fell for it. Turns out that AFTER ONE YEAR the loan had to be paid off or I was charged an outrageous amount of 29 %. I could not pay them all the money back because I lost my job but kept trying to. They would in no way work with me on this and financially the loan was closed in about XXXX. That was after they took advantage of me by charging late charges etc. Now the worst part is this they are lying about when this was charged off ( XXXX ) so it will not fall off my credit report after 7 years. When I approached them they just sent it to a collection agency XXXX XXXX. Whats even worse they just put that the loan was opened or charged off in XXXX and even put that as the charge off day every year from then on!! So in other words this charged off loan keeps on my record being updated every year and probably will never fall of my record at all since it is past the 7 year deadline. I gave my information and the Bank or XXXX XXXX can remove it from the XXXX credit bureaus so myself and my children will not suffer from no loans.

Consumer complaint: XXXX apartments is trying to collect an amount of money for maintenance and cleaning of the apartment and they sent me to collection with XXXX.without informing me on a timely manner. 
I understand they changed management, I was waiting to get my deposit returned because when I left the place I was informed that I would have to wait a while. I kept in touch with XXXX to check the status of my deposit. When I left the apartments I informed her of my new address and she documented it. Later, checking in with her I found out I was sent to collections. 
XXXX suggested to call the collection agency. I asked her why? She tried to help me but she said she did n't know. The collection agency was then the XXXX who informed me about the charges over the phone. I asked them to send it in writing. 
The apartment complex did n't provide with an accounting of the moneys deducted from the security deposit within 21 days per California civil code 1950.5. 
Regardless, my deposit well covers all the charges they are stipulating and I still have not get any money back. The manager told I should not be charged for the carpet cleaning since it was not clean when I moved in. I consider that the charges are grossly exaggerated.

Consumer complaint: Clear back last XXXX I got several awful voicemails from someone mumbling about a " personal business matter '' that their lawyers wanted to speak with me about. Eventually ( XXXX ) they called and I answered. They specified they were from " West & Associates '' collecting on a Debt from XXXX. A few days later I got a letter in the mail from them saying they were going to sue me in court and press judgement against me. Immediately I sent them XXXX letters ( attached ), XXXX asking them to VALIDATE debt, and another telling them to cease all contact except via written letter to me ( sent on XXXX XXXX XXXX ). They ceased all communication until XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX and again on XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from them ( I still have the voicemail. ) I sent them XXXX more letters ( attached ) which were signed via Return Receipt last MONDAY. Again, telling them to cease contact with me, and to validate the debt. Yesterday ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) They CALLED ME AGAIN. I notified them via phone that they are not to call me. They always yell at me and do n't listen to what I have to say and hang up. I KNOW they know they are not to call me anymore but they still do so. I will, from here on out, submit a complaint into your system anytime they call me. I have attached the following ; All letters I 've sent them, the return receipt signatures, and a recording of the phone call on XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( I did let them know they were being recorded. ) I 'll also try and include screenshots of my phone calls from them since I sent them the cease contact letter. 

This company has not only failed to validate my debt, but they 've also ignored every chance I 've contacted them to cease all phone communications. Now they 're harassing people that are n't even related to me, as well as my family. 

I will, gladly provide more information if needed.

Consumer complaint: I have tax escrow account through US Bank for my mortgage. I was issued the escrow check in XX/XX/XXXX and paid the county once it was XX/XX/XXXX for tax purposes. I forgot about the check and ended up sending it in 8 days late, which was my fault. The bank stopped payment on the check, I believe on XXXX XXXX, without talking to me to see if it was paid. I was assessed {$150.00} in interest and penalties which I am fully responsible for. My problem is that once the payment on the check was stopped, the bank then assumed responsibility to pay the taxes since they still held my escrow. I called the bank immediately upon receiving notice that the check was stopped and they assured me that they paid it. The county did n't receive the payment, so I called the bank again the following week. I was again assured that they sent a check, it still was not received by the county. I called a third time and was told that the check was sent to the county on XX/XX/XXXX and I would incur no more interest or penalties from the county because it was postmarked before the second month that it would be late. They did n't actually send a check to the county until XX/XX/XXXX, resulting in a second month of interest and penalties of {$150.00} which I should not be responsible for. There was absolutely nothing that I could have done to prevent the second month of interest and penalties other than call them repeatedly, which I did, because they held the money to my escrow. Instead of taking responsibility for the second {$150.00} charge, they took the entire 2 months of interest and fees from my escrow account. I called the bank a final time today, XX/XX/XXXX, to resolve the issue and I was escalated to the manager who refused to accept any responsibility for the late payment and hung up on me mid sentence. Every time I call, US Bank verifies my phone number, so the hang up could not have been an accident because they did n't call me back. I see no other recourse other than to file this complaint.

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased my home through Castle and Cook Mortgage company that deals with Loancare online. I started a hazard insurance policy and flood insurance policy on XX/XX/XXXX. After the XXXX year was up FEMA sent me a statement saying my current policy was not going to be honored. I started making arrangments to create a new policy. As I was making arrangements the check from escrow went out to XXXX XXXX for renewal of XXXX dollars that got changed and then only gave me 11,000 dollars of coverage. I created a new policy with XXXX insurance that could not be finalized till funds were recieved. When i contacted the mortgage company loancare to get a check sent from my escrow account they said they could not send funds because XXXX checks were already sent out. The XXXX check at XXXX and the XXXX of XXXX straight to FEMA, neither that i authorized because I was in process to get a new policy. I was then told i could not cancel the XXXX policy until a dec page was recieved for the policy i created with XXXX. Farmers was unable to get me a dec page until payment was funded, which was not available from my escrow due to XXXX checks being sent out without my authorization. I was able to cancel the homowners policy with XXXX XXXX right away so in this time period I had recieved a refund from them for the homeowners policy which i took and paid the policy through XXXX. At that time I finally got a copy of the dec page and sent this to XXXX XXXX to cancel the XXXX renewal policy which they told me I was unable to cancel because it was past the deadline. So at this point refunded to my escrow account should have been the funds for the homeowners policy and flood policy through XXXX XXXX which never went back due to fault of the loan company. The policy with XXXX XXXX had to stay in place for a year before cancelation since I was passed the cancelation period. So for the next year XX/XX/XXXX I had XXXX policies in place for my flood insurance. I believe this is the main reason why my escrow account is shorted and was at no fault to me. When the policy had to stay in place the XXXX dollars was not refunded to my escrow. So in the end there was the XXXX dollars for the flood policy and the XXXX for the homeowners policy that i paid to XXXX for the new policy, neither were credited to my escrow. I am claiming that the loan company has poor communication and did not notify me of the XXXX check sent and the escrow account being shorted as of XX/XX/XXXX. I was never told that the escrow was shorted and they have been advancing my escfrow account XXXX every month since XXXX to cover their mistake and pin this on me. The XXXX check for XXXX was finally refunded and applied to my escrow on XX/XX/XXXX which brought down the advancement to my escrow to XXXX for the last two months.

Consumer complaint: I had a charge that was charged my card as an authorization by XXXX and when i stayed at hotel as told it would drop off and decided to pay in increments for hotel stay ( {$330.00}, {$160.00}, {$890.00} ) as i did n't know how long we would be staying for whole reservation as home was n't ready to move in so we changed our reservation. After checking out i noticed my XXXX XXXX credit card had a charge for the full amount of {$1300.00} and authorization never dropped off. When this happened i contacted bank of america and dispute these and filed a claim for these duplicate charges. XXXX out of the XXXX charges were credit back as permanent credit ( {$330.00} & {$160.00} ). The XXXX was still not credited back after going back and forth with bank trying to get this resolved. The bank made errors when resubmitting and caused delays and issues with claim which was their error. In XXXX i received claim response from merchant and then was allowed to submit rebuttal for claim which i did and faxed back to bank for all XXXX amounts. How can they process XXXX but not the XXXX correctly when there all a part of same amount. They stated it was past time frame. when clearly i responded immediately when they requested along with others they gave me credit back for so it was not past time frame. I then called back in XXXX to resubmit the {$890.00} for the XXXX time. I even specified there was a XXXX XXXX statement on file showing the charge was made on another card and was never refunded. I never received any notiice of result of claim or response since XXXX. I did however receive a response for the {$160.00} amount which they stated was a permanent credit. I called the bank on XXXX to check status again. and once again they submitted claim incorrectly, did n't notify me whatsoever of any result or update or phone call for that matter. My account got closed for the - {$500.00} amount that resulted from that charge when they reversed the temp credit prior to getting my rebuttal and proof of duplicate charge. They were notified, provided every document from me and makes no sense how XXXX transactions for the same thing same stay at hotel and same charge on my XXXX XXXX can be refunded for XXXX but not the XXXX when there all the same issue.
