Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I ordered a XXXX for a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX. ( I was the first person to order this kit according to XXXX Customer Relations person-XXXX ) The product arrived and I gave it to the mechanic to install. It did n't fit so I reported it to XXXX who directed me to their supplier ( XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ) who replaced part of the XXXX that did n't fit because it was too large. While speaking with XXXX they told me they had never tried to actually install the kit on the car it was advertised for. The XXXX set of parts did n't fit either so I contacted my credit card company CITI Bank XXXX # XXXX telling them I did n't want to pay the bill until the problem was resolved. They agreed for a month after which time I received a letter ( XX/XX/XXXX ) saying the creditor -- XXXX had refused to extend the payment. I wrote a letter explaining the situation but CITI Bank wrote back threatening to turn me in to XXXX credit bureaus as delinquent on the account. I paid the {$1100.00} to CITI Bank in order to prevent being reported for bad credit in spite of the fact that the issue has never been resolved. Currently the XXXX set of XXXX products has been returned to XXXX for analysis. In the meantime I have spent XXXX of dollars on mechanics trying to fix my car. A fair resolution would be some sort of sanction on CITI Bank since they refused to place any merit on my side of the dispute. Also, I expect XXXX to reimburse part of my labor costs since they sold a defective product ( They have now stopped offering it ) that had never been tested on the car they sold it for.

Consumer complaint: I ordered my TransUnion credit report on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have suffered from continuous issues with TransUnion reporting misleading information that is very damaging to my character. I called TransUnion on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. and spoke with XXXX. I told him that the credit report shows an account at XXXX County CU # XXXX with a charged off account that was allegedly opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and charged off on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I told him that this is absolutely incorrect because I have never had an account with that company opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX told me that he is unsure of how the information is verified. He states that TransUnion is paid to report monthly information pertaining to consumers ' files and he does n't know if its accurate or not. He apologized and stated that there is nothing that he can do. I asked to be transferred to his supervisor, and he refused to transfer me to one. I asked for his supervisors ' name and he stated that he could not give me that information either. He kept placing me on hold several times, before he disconnected my call altogether. To say that I am shocked is an understatement. Our lively hood is being placed in the hands of consumer reporting agencies that do n't care about the affects of reporting erroneous information to our credit files. It seems as though we are being punished for things beyond our control, and there is nothing we can do about it. Who do we have to protect and stand up for our rights? Please help me, because I am so disappointed that I am being taken advantage of like this.

Consumer complaint: I received a notice from BSI Financials on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ( dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) that my loan had been transferred to them and as of XXXX/XXXX/2016 my old servicer will no longer accept payments from me. ( Note they generated letter 3 days AFTER the fact that my old servicer will not accept payments ). I also got a letter saying that I am one month behind in my payments ( which is total lie given that I have automated payments going to XXXX - old servicer ). I have called BSI 5 times and no one picks up the phone, and it finally transfers to Voice Mail. I have left 2 VMs and still there is no response. I looked at the company reviews ( XXXX ) and it seems this company has common practice of mistreating customers and misplacing customer information. I am concerned that although I have made all payments, my credit history would be impacted. And that I am now stuck with a sickest mortgage servicer who seems to be XXXX with their customers. I ask CFPB to take action to make this company respond and stop XXXX their customers. I want CFPB to review the consumer affairs link I provided too and take an action to review BSI Financials business practices.

Consumer complaint: Re : Macy 's credit card issued through " department stores national bank ''. 
Macy 's representative in XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( NY ) prompted me to open Macys card account with offer of additional 40 % off atop the daily discounts. So, I then spent 2 hours time putting together sizeable wardrobe. When cashier helped me open account by phone and having to provide significant personal info, I was then told " denied ''. Interesting because I am a XXXX, excellent credit, XXXX debt, never denied such in my life. I overheard someone else in store saying same thing happened to her and another. This was XXXX XXXX, 2015. I left store without purchase. Today XXXX/XXXX/15, I receive a Macy 's credit card, never again elIgible for the 40 % incentive for new accounts. I suspect scam luring cutomers into opening card, not to mention the personal information used for marketing sharing. I am on phone with card company canceling and am also now told that the 40 % had a {$150.00} cap. I know what I heard as well as telling rep I was off to " spend a lot of money '', so I 'm certain she understood it was more than {$150.00}. 
Again ... .arguably ... a scam and what a waste of my valuable time. Thank you.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX of 2012 I inquired about obtaining a degree in XXXX. I was soon bombarded by phone calls from the XXXX XXXX and finally was scheduled for an in person meeting with a counselor in the XXXX XXXX, NJ location. I was XXXX years old and unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. My counselor convinced me that the medical assistant program was for me because I would be certified in 9 months and XXXX would help me secure a job after my graduation. Even when I hesitated and told my counselor I wanted to possibly start in XX/XX/XXXX, he insistent that I start by XX/XX/XXXX, meaning I had less than 3 weeks between my first introduction to the XXXX XXXX, to when I would start the medical assisting program. This was short time to make a decision. When I met with the financial services representatives at XXXX they quickly told me they could secure a loan with the Genesis Lending Services to cover the cost of school remaining after federal loans. Again, I was XXXX years old and did not have a parent or guardian present to help with my decision ; just the knowledge that I was now starting school in less than 3 weeks and needed the funds to pay for it. The interest of my loan or how long it would take me to finish payments was never explained to me. I feel the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, NJ pressured me into enrollment and further more encouraged me to make an irresponsible decision in obtaining a private loan from the Genesis Lending Service.

Consumer complaint: My experience with Bank of America has been the worst experience I could have ever had. I have been put down, ignored, forgotten, hung up on, yelled at and much more. XXXX XXXX and assistant ignore my many voice messages and calls put aside my faxed paperwork and hang up on me on an everytime basis. I do not appreciate the disrespect I have been shown expecially when I have shown courtesy and understanding. My wishes are NEVER granted just told they are completely unreasonable, when they are in fact below satisfactory. I have asked politely and calm to speak to a superior and I get transfered to a team member of penny 's. I do n't appreciate the neglect and the inconvenience that bank of America has shown me. I will never forget the horrible experience I have had. If any person asks about bank of America I will passionately advise them to not bank with them. I can assure you that after hearing my testimony as to why not to bank with them, they too will not be banking with Bank of America.

Consumer complaint: ( 1 ) I attempted to transfer funds from Citibank in XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I did so online, and I was assured in that online transaction that the funds would arrive on XXXX XXXX, using the XXXX feature. The aim was to replenish the Hawaii account before an overdraft. ( 2 ) Subsequently, Citibank neither sent email nor telephoned about the attempt. ( 3 ) I received mail from the Hawaii bank dated XXXX XXXX, I learned that the deposit had not occurred. ( 4 ) I then went online to access the history of my account, discovering that the transfer was classified as " Cancelled. '' ( 5 ) I went online again on XXXX XXXX to make the same transfer, and was again assured that the amount would be transferred, this time by XXXX XXXX. ( 6 ) I telephoned Citibank to ask why and I was informed that I had not provided a verification code required to complete either transfer. ( 6 ) While still on the telephone, Citibank then walked me through a process to obtain a verification code for the XXXX XXXX transaction, but to obtain the code I was instructed to hang up, get the code, and enter the code on the website. ( 7 ) I hung up and found three messages saved on my telephone. When I listened to them, they all said that I would have to tap the 1 button on my telephone for the code. In all three cases, pressing the 1 button yielded nothing but a message to tap the 1 button. 
My complaint is ( a ) that while using XXXX, there was no requirement on the website to get a verification code as part of the process, ( b ) there was no Citibank notification, either by email, telephone, or online that the transaction was being held up for lack of a verification code, ( c ) that no verification code was even sent when I tried, ( d ) my XXXX account was not replenished, so I have been billed by that bank {$30.00} for the overdraft fee and {$3.00} daily ever since. 
Remedy : Citibank must pay the expenses incurred for failing to provide adequate information about how to make the transfer.

Consumer complaint: I applied for assistance in saving my home from foreclosure. I hired an attorney to help me with the paperwork. I was advised I am approved for a Making Home Affordable " Trial '' modification. I have contacted my lender on several occasions trying to find out the terms of the loan modification, rate ; term ; principal balance ; principal forgiveness or forbearance and maturity date. Thus far Bank of America says they have no terms and they basically refuse to discuss this with me. My loan is an option arm, negative amortization loan which worked against me for the past ten plus years. I feel the servicer should have these terms and my attorney states someone has the terms available, however they are simply refusing to discuss the terms with me.

Consumer complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Professional Credit Services attempting to collect a debit in the amount of {$230.00} listed for collection by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not incur this debt. 

I immediately sent with a letter to dispute the debt and to request debt validation. I sent the letter via Certified Mail. I have a return receipt showing Professional Credit Services received it on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In the meantime, I sent an email to XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX. I wanted to know how an account was established in my name when I never applied for it. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX - XXXX responded to my email. She said someone drove into a transfer station on XX/XX/XXXX, dumped a load of solid waste, but could n't pay the fee. The transfer station had to open an account to collect the fee at a later date. 

The transfer station used a vehicle registration to open the account, but I no longer owned that vehicle. I sold it on XX/XX/XXXX. I informed XXXX that I had submitted a properly filed Report of Sale to the Washington State Department of Licensing on XX/XX/XXXX, and that I can not be held responsible for a debt incurred on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX informed me that Professional Credit Services have to substantiate that. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed another letter to Professional Credit Services via Certified Mail. The letter included a detailed explanation of how the debt came to be put in my name. I also provided adequate proof that it was not my debt. I included a copy of the Report of Sale as evidence that I did not own the vehicle when the debt was incurred. I also provided a copy of the Bill of Sale bearing my signature and the signature of the new owner. 

I have a Return Receipt showing Professional Credit Services received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX, but on XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter attempting to collect the debt. 

The collection notice included debt verification in the form of a receipt bearing a signature of the person who incurred the debt. The last name is not legible, but the first name looks like " XXXX. '' It 's not my signature and it 's not the signature of the buyer, XXXX XXXX, as it appears on the Bill of Sale. 

The debt verification also included a computer screen print showing the account information on file with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The driver 's license field is blank. XXXX XXXX admits that the transfer station did not obtain any identification from the driver. The account information shows a phone number, but the number has never been assigned to me.
