Consumer complaint: My dad is a credit card/identify theft victim. He fell for a scam in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX that have wiped his savings and created major debt. First, in XX/XX/XXXX it was a telephone call saying that he was late on paying a bill and needed to pay immediately, so he provided a credit card number with his personal information. That created a ridiculous amount of charges, which he was unaware of. He is in his XXXX 's with some XXXX caring for my mom who was very ill. Then in XXXX XXXX he received a phone call, letting him know that he had won the big prize of Publisher 's Clearance but that he needed to follow very strict instructions. So he did. The result : Someone opened via internet a Citibank credit card in XX/XX/XXXX and charged {$10000.00}. In addition, they charged over {$12000.00} on his XXXX XXXX XXXX card and another {$10000.00} at another institution. Both Citibank and XXXX XXXX XXXX refuse to accept the fact that he did not make any of the purchases and have released the case to Collection agencies to recover the funds. I 've documented all the transactions and we can not believe that after all the documentation, either institution have not properly looked into the case. What we get is letters telling us " You opened the account via internet in Citibank and this is your responsibility ''. My dad does not own a computer nor did he have internet service. We 've written to Citibank several times and get the same response, " you opened it, it is your responsibility ''. The crooks were brilliant in how they managed everything. They opened the Citibank account and deposited the money in his checking/savings account at XXXX XXXX XXXX, then proceeded to make telephone transfers. They completed wiped all this checking and savings. My mom died on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and her memorial was XXXX XXXX. Because of his XXXX situation, and my mom 's death - I took over my parents ' finances in XX/XX/XXXX. I have spent considerable time understanding what had transpired, documenting much of the transaction. Both banks ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and Citibank ) have been unsympathetic. We spent considerable time at the local XXXX bank and ultimately chose to close his account after my dad 's account was cleaned out. I 'm at wit 's end on what to do. I 've over communicated with both institution. My parents, who have had wonderful credit scores in the past and now my dad, are now considering bankruptcy as a solution, which for us is a last resort. I am disgusted by the arrogance and disrespect conveyed by both banks.

Consumer complaint: Someone stole my identity and opened a XXXX account in the XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for about {$3800.00}. I 've lived in XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. I 've had XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. The same phone number for 10 years. Also I 've never lived in XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed a police report where I live in XXXX stating this account and possibly others is identity theft. A few years back the state of XXXX tax dept was hacked exposing XXXX residents personal info such as social security numbers. I ca n't verify that is the reason of my identify fraud but I assume that 's the only logical explanation. I have the XXXX police report, my XXXX id and the utility bill for my place in XXXX to dispute these charges.

Consumer complaint: Suntrust Bank has consistently denied access to our available and deposited funds in our account under the guise of account security. We are making purchases for items for resale and they are consistently declined - for the SAME vendors - repeatedly. These are our daily vendors that we buy from EVERY DAY. We have called and asked that this be stopped as we will continue to make these purchases to fill our orders but they REFUSE to make any accommodation. This is outright denial of use of the funds in our account.

Consumer complaint: There is a hard credit inquiry on my XXXX credit report from Continental Finance Company of XXXX, DE. I did not authorize that inquiry. I have no accounts with Continental Finance Company of XXXX, DE, and I never applied for any accounts with them. When I attempted to inform them of this error, they told me to " get a police report '' ( they never even asked me my name ). Continental is an unprofessional company. The hard inquiry was made on XXXX XXXX, 2015, exactly one day before I filed for Chapter XXXX bankruptcy. They need to remove that inquiry from my XXXX report ( I have already contacted XXXX regarding this ) posthaste.

Consumer complaint: I was late for the months of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX the late fees are {$87.00} dollars per month. In XX/XX/XXXX I paid the balance and paid extra I have not been late since. The late fee was still showing in XX/XX/XXXX and I called and they said they would apply the over payment to the late fee. Why is the late fee still on my account? Why would n't it ever be applied to my account unless I call. Why are the late fees so much money? Why do I still owe my regular monthly car payment when I keep paying extra? The late fees are excessive and the way you have to call and waste time calling them to get your money applied to the late fee is ridiculous. Ally Auto Finance.

Consumer complaint: This communication is based on and a part of prior communication regarding loan # XXXX and a complaint # XXXX. As I reviewed the status of communications today I noticed that Citi had included a lengthy summation of loan history - and I 've been led to believe that I received that information long ago. Not sure that is true. Does n't matter in the whole scheme of things regarding Citi 's actions, but I seek to inform those that read this stuff - I 'm uncertain as to whether I received the information they allege they sent - frankly I do n't think so. It certainly is not in my files of late, and I have started to be very careful about communications between myself and Citi.

Consumer complaint: I refinanced my home with California Bank & Trust, they sold the loan without notifying me, and I made my checks out to them for two months after the refinance ( I have copies of the cashed checks ) but they did not forward funds to the new lender. Inside of 60 days I was turned over to collections by the new lender, and after numerous calls to California Bank and Trust, with no results, I am now in default of my loan. A representative of California Bank and Trust has acknowledged their mistake but to date, and it has been over a month now, has refused to reimburse me or pay new lender. I do n't know what to do, but I 've hired an attorney to look into the matter, and would also like to file a complaint. I understand they are legally bound to notify me of selling my loan inside of 30 days, which they most certainly did not. It appears as if my XXXX FICO score wo n't be XXXX much longer.

Consumer complaint: After researching online for best CD rates - I chose to open an account with E-Loan - an online business. As an online business - account holders are to have 24 hour online access to all accounts. The process was simple enough. However, after opening the account ( for & XXXX ) I was unable to log in using the information credentials that were supposedly on record. I have tried several times ( as soon as 1 day after opening account ) to just get my initial investment of {$25000.00} refunded to the XXXX Bank account from which it was transferred - because an online bank ( CD ) account that can not be readily accessed is unacceptable. E-Loan wants to charge me 2 years interest - even though zero interest had been earned at that time. They also told me that no time frame was available for when they might " fix '' the log-in problem! The account was opened on XXXX/XXXX/15 and I filed a complaint with the XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 after not being able to log-in. XXXX complaint number XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I received several calls and a final letter from a collection agency on behalf of XXXX medical organizations in regards to a supposely pending account that was paid XXXX months ago and charge to my bank account. 
When I call to clarify the customer service representative was really improper in her answer to me saying that the only way for me to do it was sending proof of payment ( which I completely understand and was ready to send ) I addressed that I have apply to a store credit a week ago and it was denied and it may be because they may report to XXXX and that they have damage my credit report with a false issue. she said that it was not her problem and that they will try to fixed if I send proof of payment. 
I felt so mistreated at this point and I want to voice my most strong complaint to these entities and organizations that do not have any type of courtesy and understanding of the wrong behavior and consequences.

Consumer complaint: After very a very lengthy Loan Modification with Flagstar Bank, I have came out worse than when I started. 
During the loan modification, per regulations, Flagstar hired an independent company to check the vacancy status of my home. I was/am currently living in my home ; however, Flagstar stated that it was reported vacant. Not only did they report it vacant, but they again hired an outside vendor to come to my house and change the locks. My neighbor called and stated somebody is in your home. I called the police and did make a report of the situation. Upon returning home, my home locks had been changed, my home was " winterized '', my back door was boarded up and damaged, and all my things had been rummaged through. Flagstar simply said that my house was reported vacant. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I told them I LIVE in the home. My loan requires me to live there or I can not re-finance. If it was vacant I would not have been able to complete a modification. Even more, Flagstar made a claim with my insurance company stating wind damage had damaged the roof. This claim was denied by my company due to meeting the deductable. 
For an entire 3 months I had my yard mowed, several signs hung on my door, and the final straw was having BLACK TAR placed on my roof. At this point I hired a lawyer and we are currently preparing a lawsuit. 

My modification was completed ; however, my payments were increased due to taxes and a shortage of Escrow. Not only this, Flagstar now has added a what they call " Total Advances '' fee to my mortgage totaling {$4900.00}. When I inquired about this, they stated this was the cost of refinancing and does not have to be paid immediately. They stated that the total amount would stay on my statement until I sold the home or paid the amount due. It clearly states in my modification packet that all fees and dues have been included in the modification by Flagstar. Why is there a {$4900.00} fee and why is my mortgage going up due to a shortage of Escrow. This was included in my modification. 

Since modification was complete, I have followed through with the claims from my insurance company to obtain a new roof due to the amount of damage FLAGSTAR sub contractors caused. I simply had my insurance company come back out and re-assess the damage. A claim was approved this time. In turn, this has increased my insurance and respectively increased my mortgage. 

The worst part about this whole process was trying to speak with Flagstar to avoid these issues. Each time I called I was transferred to Loss Mitigation, Claims, Insurance, and Default Services. None of them could tell me why preservation crews were coming to my house. They even advised they would put notes into the system to advise the preservation department to stop coming. Of course, this did n't stop them.

Consumer complaint: I purchased a vehicle from a small car dealership in XXXX Arizona. I had the vehicle for a little over a year now. I went to go trade the vehicle in at a big dealership and when the sales manager pull the XXXX and XXXX on the vehicle to find the vehicle 's odometer has been rolled back. I signed for a vehicle with XXXX miles. It really has XXXX miles. Earlier last year the dealer filed a restraining order on me because he stole my wifes car and he wanted to keep me away from it while he was ripped everything that we own out of the vehicle along the sums of about {$1500.00} worth of items. The police would not file a stolen items chatge on the dealers owner. I had no way of contacting him and getting to the bottom of the situation through the dealers owner. I contacted the bank and the bank told me that I 'm still responsible to pay for the vehicle which is {$15000.00} more than what is actually worth. I finance the vehicle for {$19000.00} and the owner of the dealership knew that the vehicle 's odometer has been rolled back and still sold it to me for {$19000.00} even though the vehicle is only worth {$5000.00} trade value. I have all documents to show that this vehicle was at XXXX miles when I sign for it. The dmv has documentaion thatvthe vehicle is signed for has almost XXXX miles on it.This dealer has been doing a lot of scamming to the public people of Arizona and the state of Arizona is not doing anything to prosecute him or recover anyone 's damages, I still have to pay for the murchandise that the owner stile out of my famikystuff car. I ca n't afford a lawyer. I know I am part of a struggling working family and I ca n't afford legal representation because they are very expensive. The dealers owner has numerous law suits against him so recovering losses may be out of the question.

Consumer complaint: I have a safe deposit box with Bank of America at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OR XXXX for over 15 years. I received the payment notice about the same time every year. On XXXX, I received the bill as usual. If I had an account with them, so it would be a {$5.00} discount ( I think it mentioned on the bill ). I went to the bank and paid my bill at XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked one of the tellers for the discount since I had a checking account with them ( I closed my account later on but still kept my safe deposit box ). The teller told me it would n't be any discount and the fees on the safe deposit box went up to {$40.00}. I paid the {$40.00} ( I still have the receipt that proved I paid ). The price was not a problem because I transferred my safe deposit box from XXXX XXXX to the XXXX so that it would be more convenient for me. On XXXX, I was expecting the payment notice as every year. I did n't receive the bill and the due date was coming up soon. I went to the bank and asked one of the tellers about I did n't receive the payment notice but I wanted to pay my bill. She checked the computer and told me they made an error for overcharging me last year so that my safe deposit box would be free of charge for life and that 's why I did n't receive any bill ( I trusted the bank and I did n't ask her to put on writing, that was my biggest mistake that I ca n't prove it since they destroyed all the records ). I was so happy for last 10 years and I did n't really receive any bill. 

I went down to the bank two days ago and tried to take something out of my safe deposit box. I was told they did n't have any info about my box. I talked to the assistant manager and found out my box had been drilled last XXXX and all my records was destroyed. They had been sent me notice to my old address since I moved 6 years ago. I guessed I did n't check my box for last six years since they still had my old address. I told her about my story and she said that was impossible as lifetime free of charge. I needed to pay {$390.00} to get my stuff back. She also told me to call the XXXX customer service number about the procedure on how to get my stuff back. When I called that number, the customer service rep. told me none of information came up with my ss # and box # search. He suggested me go back to the bank and spoke to the manger to give them a call with all the info. I talked to the manager on the phone this morning ; he could n't do anything for me. I needed to pay the {$390.00} for the rental fees for last two years and the drilling fee to have my stuff back. I do n't think that is right to charge me for the mistake that they made to have my stuff back.
