Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a phone call from my payroll department stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX will be receiving a portion of my wages through a garnishment. I filed a complaint with the XXXX against XXXX for garnishing my wages for payment on a debt I have no knowledge of. In my complaint, I asked for the following to verify the debt : 1. Full original account number 2.Date original account opened 3. Any written agreement between myself & the original creditor stating that I agreed to pay the original debt. XXXX. Consumer address at which original account was opened 5. Date of 1st delinquency 6. Itemized calculation of alleged debtI received a response from XXXX 's attorney, XXXX XXXX, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating that he had sent a letter with all of the above requested information, and stated that the debt was a defaulted Credit Card account issued by Wells Fargo Bank , N.A . He stated that the account was opened on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and was charged off on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with a default balance of {$1500.00}. 

I have several issues with the information provided in his response. 1. As of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I still have not received any documentation from XXXX XXXX or XXXX verifying the validity of this debt, as requested in my first correspondence with them, and as was stated by XXXX XXXX was mailed to me. 2. I have never had a credit card account with Wells Fargo Bank , N.A . 3. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was XXXX YEARS OLD, and could not have legally signed a contract or opened a credit card account. ( My wife is also listed jointly on this account, and she would have been XXXX years old at the time it was opened. ) XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I responded to XXXX XXXX stating my concerns and again stating I had not received any verification of the debt and therefore, believed the alleged debt to be invalid. At this time, XXXX had received {$800.00} from me, and I requested the money be returned to me and the judgment be dismissed or deemed satisfied. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a response from XXXX XXXX stating that XXXX believed the debt was mine, and would continue to garnish my wages. He directed me to call XXXX XXXX, an account XXXX, to discuss a resolution that would be satisfactory to both parties. 

To date, XXXX has taken {$1800.00} from my paychecks. In the documentation provided to me by XXXX XXXX, the original debt was {$1500.00}. However, XXXX is garnishing my wages in excess of {$3900.00}. ( As stated by my payroll department. ) I do n't believe this debt is mine, but I am being forced to pay it! 

I do n't believe I can resolve this without help. My first attempt to resolve this through the BBB was unsuccessful. I am hopeful the CFPB has the resources to get to the bottom of this and help me!

Consumer complaint: I was sued for an old debt that was acquired by XXXX XXXX XXXX out of XXXX Colorado. The debt collector did n't properly notify me of the debt. According to the court records, this company was already planning a lawsuit for this debt. This collector acquired this debt in XXXX of 2012 and by XXXX of that same year had already filed papers to sue me. According to the court records, I was served with papers on this debt and in XXXX, a judgement was filed against me. To my surprise this judgement was entered on a debt that was for a {$9000.00} charged off account that has now swelled to about {$23000.00}. If the company had reached out prior to all of these actions validating this debt we could have reached an agreement and I would n't have a {$23000.00} judgement on my credit report.

Consumer complaint: I decided to re-fi with Lending tree. I was called by Royal United Mortgage and started the loan process. They quoted 3.25 interest rate. They requested the usual info, 2 yrs taxes, XXXX 's, XXXX 's, bank statements and social security info. I took pic 's of all that with my phone and sent it to XXXX XXXX. Over the weeks I would talk to a XXXX also. He would request info I had already sent and I would have to send it again. I was told the appraisal would cost {$390.00}. So I paid it. Then I was told another {$130.00} because it 's a duplex. Paid that too. Then I received a email on some of the paper work and noticed my interest rate was now 3.50. When I called I was told it was n't locked in because they were waiting on the appraisal to come back. I was ready to cancel everything but XXXX XXXX called and gave me the 3.25. He failed to mention that would cost {$4500.00}. I was also told to expect my escrow from XXXX XXXX XXXX to be mailed to me as soon as they were paid off. That did n't happen. XXXX XXXX told me 2 weeks later that they notified Royal united they would deduct the escrow from my mortgage balance. Someone failed to tell me. Even the closer told me to watch for the check. I called XXXX XXXX right after closing and ask for a hard copy of the appraisal for my records. He promised to send it right away. That was 3 weeks ago. A few days after closing XXXX rec 'd a letter from Social security. It seems XXXX XXXX opened up a online account in my name. Why? XXXX XXXX said it was to verify my amount I rec 'd every month. PROOF. I had sent them XXXX items of proof. # 1, awards letter stating what I would be receiving for 2015. # 2 XXXX from S.S. # 3, bank statements # 4 taxes. What more proof was needed. He told XXXX XXXX I gave him permission. THAT DID N'T HAPPEN. I went with their mortgage co. in blind faith. I had never heard of them but they were tied with Lending tree who is well known. They took advantage of that. I am almost XXXX yrs old. I have never had such a nightmare with a mortgage company like Royal united. Now when I call there, they wo n't answer. That 's why I 'm taking this next step.

Consumer complaint: I have a Citibank mastercard credit card, which I always pay on time since I got it 3 years ago. I have this card set up for a monthly automatic payment of the full amount, but in XX/XX/XXXX I decided to pay only the minimum amount and contacted them to change it. The person helped and made the changed by phone easily just for that specific month, leaving the auto payment still set up for the following months. The next month, I did exactly the same and called them again asking to set up a minimum payment for XX/XX/XXXX, but at this time the person did a mistake and did n't suspend the auto payment of the full amount. What happened its that the minimum payment was done ( as requested ) in the amount of {$11000.00}, but in the next 2 days Citibank debited the remaining balance of {$18000.00}. Since I didi n't have credit enough, the payment didint go through. I called Citibank and the person told me that she was going to solve it and have the FEE returned to the account in a few days. For my surprise, after 5 days, Citibank tried to have the remaining balance paid AGAIN ( without my authorization ) and when I called them AGAIN, the answer was totally different than the previous one : they told me that when it happens, the system tries to have the balance paid 4 consecutive times and there was nothing that could be done by the entity to avoid that. I spend more than 40 minutes with a supervisor on the phone and the summary of the conversation was that I did n't need to worry about that because as soon as the XXXX tentatives were finished, they would return the XXXX FEES ( {$34.00} each ) + send me a letter communicating that it was a mistake from Citibank and that my credit score would n't be affected. They also " offered '' me as a gift because of the inconvenience XXXX miles for my mileage account. After all these calls with them, nothing has been solved ( I did n't get the FEE returned, I did n't get the miles and I did n't get the letter that was promised ). A few days ago I got a letter from Citibank saying that I have an unpaid balance, so exactly the opposite that was discussed. I contacted my account manager called XXXX XXXX and asked for help, but she told me to solve the problem directly with the credit card team and call them again. i also send them a message using the online customer service last Sunday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) registering the complain and have n't get a response that they were supposed to do within 1 business day ( reference number is : XXXX ). So, I tried everything possible and all channels to get it solved. Now, I want to submit a formal claim against them. They are damaging my credit score and also this situation made one of the checks that I used to pay a person to be returned because of lack of funds, so I 'm not having only problems with them, but with other people as well. Their lack of care about their guests is incredible. The managers never answer emails because they do not want to commit to anything written.

Consumer complaint: Filed an online dispute with Transunion in regards to a XXXX to update the balance as it was incorrect. Account balance was showing $ XXXX+ when I paid it down toa {$0.00} balance in XXXX 2015. The investigation results came back and stated the account was deleted. This is not what I asked for them to investigate. They deleted a very good standing credit account on my credit profile and need it to be added back on.

Consumer complaint: I found out about this debt when served with papers saying I was being sued by Med1 collections. The papers were served on XXXX XXXX 2015 with a court date of XXXX XXXX 2015! I work as a XXXX, I called when I could but Med1 would deflect my attempts to try and figure this out. I have a gentleman working on my credit and finances. I signed a power of attorney and asked him to get the information. He sent the " lawyer '' for Med1 a letter ( attached ) asking for paperwork to validate the debt so we can see what this is and if it is correct work out a settlement. The " lawyer '' says he has the paperwork but refused to give it to my representative since he was not a lawyer. He said the only way to get the paperwork is for me to call him. I do not want to call a debt collector and get bullied. I should not have to.

Consumer complaint: Credit Bureaus failed to address score factor, which resulted in approving personal loan, credit card applications. Insist on reporting accounts as adverse or maybe considered negative. Inconsistency in credit scores. No justification received. Credit bureau data input does not warrant accounts being reported as adverse/considered negative. 
See attached for additional information.

Consumer complaint: Dear sirs, I am following up to my case # XXXX, please refer to those documents. The only update and help I need relates to the letter sent by Regions Bank as a response to the CFPB and myself. On that letter which is included in the case file, is dated XXXX/XXXX/14, in which they apologize for the error and would be requesting all credit agencies to remove the charge off entry and replace with paid off, when I refinanced my home loan. Unfortunately, upon recent updated af another bank loan, my credit report still had the entry as charge off, not paid off as they reported to have done, copy included. I tried calling Regions again today with little help on the topic. I would like your assistance with resolving this issue and would like to know what ramifications Regions bank will have for not fixing this problem, which continues to lower my credit score.

Consumer complaint: I had a CD account with Citibank that is now closed. The account was closed approximately XX/XX/XXXX or thereabouts. A Citibank counter check or cashier 's check was issued on XX/XX/XXXX and cashed a couple days later XX/XX/XXXX. The payee was myself. However, I myself was not present at the Citibank branch on either of those days, nor did I authorize anyone else to close the account. ( I just found out about this fraud in XX/XX/XXXX when I went in to check on my CD account. ) Now that I am disputing the check, Citibank Manager is telling me the check is a fraudulent check which they trace back to a Delaware account for multiple fraud issue cashier check and I never had a account with them. Bank manager is telling me they can not locate any information or account number under my name or social security number. Unfortunately, I do not have the account number but I do have letter stating amount deposit along with letter stating when CD account will mature. However, because I do not have an account number and there 's no record showing up for an account under my name Citibank does not want to do anything for me. The challenge in this case is time, the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX and it is now XX/XX/XXXX they 're telling me their record does not go that far back because it has been purged, not only that, there was never an account open under my name or social security number. Also, the branch I deposited the money at has been shut down, therefore, I had to go to a different branch location. I have try everything from calling customer service to talking to branch manager to filing an " affidavit of forgery '' with no luck. Now I am stuck with filing a police report and waiting to see what happen with my case. I believe this is some sort of fraud within Citibank employee because I know I deposited money into a CD account with Citibank itself.

Consumer complaint: I mailed a check of {$90000.00} to part pay the principal balance of my mortgage with Green Tree Servicing. Account number XXXX. The check was mailed USPS Priority Mail, and I had confirmation of delivery and signor on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I noted that the money had been applied, but split : $ {$2000.00} effective XXXX/XXXX/2015 applied as my advance XXXX payment, and {$87000.00} effective XXXX/XXXX/2015 applied to my principal balance. I called to notify them that all of the money should have been applied to the principal and the effective date should be XXXX/XXXX/2015. I have numerous calls since then - mostly unhelpful and even after escalation and a supposed " rush '' to fix, I still have the {$87000.00} although now applied to the principal, but STILL the wrong effective date of XXXX/XXXX/2015. I am told this morning that it might take another XXXX business days to fix. 

My complaint : why should they split the amount when I had previously called before sending the check stating that the whole amount to be applied to the principal, and why is the effective date still wrong? I can only assume that it is Green Tree 's process to do this as it clearly benefits the company at the expense of the client.

Consumer complaint: I have tried unsuccessfully to do a home mortgage modification with Green Tree Servicing. I have submitted all the documentation multiple times and confirmed that the documentation was successfully submitted only to have the company come back and say that they closed the loan application because of lack of documentation. In the last instance, they contacted me and I requested my representative to contact me as she already confirmed that she received everything. In XXXX weeks and XXXX messages later, I still have not gotten a callback and I found out that she closed the file again. This seems systematic or just general incompetence.

Consumer complaint: We have a Citi XXXX XXXX credit card and we received an email saying there was a message in our secure message center on citi.com. Upon logging in and reading it, Citi took it upon themselves to close our credit card account WITHOUT notifying us they were doing so. They said that " in our customers best interests, we do not notify them that we close their accounts ''. This is unacceptable. No other credit card company that we do business with does anything like this without notifying us first so that we can take the proper actions to prevent it. I tried to resolve this via their secure message center but they said that they can not reopen the account. These are predatory and unfair business practices.

Let me explain ; I received a payoff on my account, while at the bank transfering the amount to greentree, I called their customer service group and told them what I was doing, the representative informed me that my scheduled automatic payment could not be stopped, I asked her to note my account that I was wiring the amount on the payoff letter minus the amount being automatically withdrawn which she could not stop. I followed up with greentree servicing and they have failed to clear the account and now have an additional amount of {$400.00} Interest on a balance of {$1900.00} and despite many calls to different supervisors, nothing can be resolved. Clear and close my account, beware of this group.
