Consumer complaint: First and foremost, I am a victim of identity of theft. There have been a multitude of accounts with various companies opened in my name and none of them were opened by me. When I received a letter from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of this year stating that I had an outstanding balance of {$1600.00} owed for a XXXX account, I immediately contacted them to inform them that I was a victim of identity theft and that this account was not opened by myself and I was completely unaware of this bill. I have had XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX personally but I 've always paid my bill and never gone to collections. When I spoke to them I was informed there was an account opened XX/XX/XXXX and there were XXXX IPhones purchased. There was also a person with the name of XXXX XXXX that was an authorized person on this bill. If I were going to purchase a phone for someone I would 've added them to my bill rather than open a new account. It makes no since. When I informed them of the identity theft, I was told that they were going to do an investigation and get back with me on the outcome. Instead, XXXX is reporting on my credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX with an outstanding balance as well as they have sold the debt to a 3rd party as of XX/XX/XXXX according to the correspondence I received in the mail this week. I am not responsible for this debt. I have fraud alerts on my credit and I 've filed police reports and signed and notarized affidavits. This is rediculous that XXXX has reported the account without warning as I am in the process of purchasing a house and not only have they reported it, but they 've also sold it now to a collection agency.

Consumer complaint: I checked my credit score in XX/XX/XXXX and it was in the high XXXX 's. This last week, I was applying for a construction loan and my mortgage loan originator told me my credit score dropped about XXXX points due to a charge-off from Citibank Credit. I had paid off my Citibank Card in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX balance. Citi at some point in the XXXX tacked on on {$4.00} in interest, but I did not know. They closed my account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and did a charge off for the {$4.00} which dramatically affected my credit. I had been a loyal and faithful customer since XX/XX/XXXX but this kind of practice is absolutely absurd. They should have either a ) canceled out the remainning balance on good faith since I 'd been a good customer or b ) notified me that this balance remained so I could quickly pay it off. I need this report to be corrected so that the credit agencies can bring my score back up to the high XXXX 's and I can move forward with this mortgage loan.

I have written a complaint to attorney general and various other agencies to help me resolve this matter, I have never been 30 days late and in XXXX 2015 I had spoke with a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that had promised me a arrangement due to unemployment. That I could make the regular car payment and that if paid late would accrue fee however, I would never be reported due to late fees for not paying on time. So fast forward 8 months and arrangement was kept on there end. I made the payment for XXXX 29 days late due to financial struggle and they reported me as 30 days late. I wrote a letter in regards to the FRCA 611 ( a ) act that this was indeed false report and I have been hounded in regards to payment that I have always paid. The collection department refused to work with me and where so rude and I feel like I have no control of being bullied in this matter. I need help as XXXX is lieing and holding to keeping this false information active so they do n't get in trouble. They are reporting falsely and I am paying for this emotionally and it is got me so distraught that they continue to bully me in this matter. I can provide documentation however want to make sure it is taken care of to protect my identity. Please if you can help me in any way. I await your response, thankfully yours. XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: I have a The Home Depot Card credit account with Citi. In the last 12 months or more, I 've had at least XXXX or more promotional 0 % financing deals expire, costing me $ $ in interest, even though I 've paid Citi more than enough money to completely pay off the promotional amount. The C.A.R.D. act allows them to do this because the lender is allowed to apply minimum payments how ever they see fit until the last 60 days before promotional expiration. It would be better for the consumer if the consumer could simply instruct the lender how to apply the FULL payment, instead of just what is in excess of the minimum payment. What is the significance of the minimum payment being included in the law anyway? And lastly, my statements sometimes CLEARLY show how my payment is applied. Other times, my statements actually do NOT clearly show how my payment is applied. For example : sometimes the statement shows that my full payment ( minimum amount, plus any excess payment ) is applied to my current interest bearing balance, and nothing is applied to my promotional balance. But SOMETIMES, my statement does not show the allocation of my payment. Instead, my balance simply goes down some. But I have to do the math myself ( add payments and credits back to my current balance, then subtract any new purchases or interest charges, and then compare that amount to my current balance on last month 's statement ), to see how my balance is effected by my payment. I though that the C.A.R.D rules were supposed to protect users from statement confusion & hidden charges. I believe that clearly showing how all payments are applied on each and every statement would be a pretty obvious way to avoid confusion. Lastly, the personnel at Citi were happy to tell me how they controlled my payment allocation in most situations. XXXX interrupted me, raising their voices, repeating explanations, or worse, explaining that they had already explained. XXXX stated that he works in the Tennessee service center for Citi. I assume that XXXX does, as well. I could actually HEAR the smile in their voices, but XXXX went so far as to giggle. If they record calls, and the company wants to know how NOT to treat clients, they should review the call.

Consumer complaint: Our issue began this year, because of a mortgage default. We attempt on several occasion to rectify with Bank of America. Currently we have experience a lack of communication by our appointed point of contact, and customer retention manager ( CRM ). We have receive notice that we qualify for a short sale, however after only two months of marketing we were informed that our marketing period had ended. We have research and informed the bank that in our current market the time frame to sale is at a minimum of 120 days. We have set varies appointment with the CRM, in which no effort to make contact was made by BOA, neither to us or to the Realtor on file. When we attempt to call the bank the representative who answer tells us that our CRM is not currently available, and attempts to help us with a limited capacity/ while informing us that we would have to make another appointment with the assign CRM. Our Realtor, using the XXXX system has submit, a offer ( cash ) that has been waiting in the equator system, for almost a week. Upon calling Bank of America, they informed us that the offer has not been reviewed, and that current the reviewer is not available. Furthermore that the Customer Retention Managers do not have access to the very system they are should using to help us with the short sale. As a Veteran of XXXX, I expected a little more cooperation. I have repeatedly ask that the property be reevaluated, as the values in our have are on a continuous decline. I am not sure where to turn. I am even willing to complete a deed in lieu, however upon asking the bank, apparently that is not an option. How is that not an option if the foreclosure sale date was already set.

Consumer complaint: This summer I order my wedding dress, customized. What I received was not even a dress. I disputed with merchant, shipped material back. Merchant refused refund and offered my XXXX % discount on next purchase instead, I refused. I filed complaint with Suntrust on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Suntrust gave temporary credit on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I was advised I would receive correspondence if they needed info and case would close in 60 days and the credit would be authorized if they found on my behalf and if not, I would be notified first. I never heard anything else from Suntrust. I tried several times to check status online but system was down for a long time. Suntrust emails me when anything goes on, so since I received no emails- I figured we were good. 60 days passed ... XX/XX/XXXX. I assumed as I had been told that the credit was no longer " provisional ''. Suntrust waited until 2 days before XXXX to do the reversal, wiping my account clean so I could not buy XXXX dinner- WITH NO NOTICE OR CONTACT. Then I encountered several NSF fees. They claim the reason for the reversal was because the merchant claimed to offer a full refund and I refused. That makes no sense. Had they offered, I would have accepted! They offered only discounts for future purchases. But, Suntrust- instead of contacting me and asking for email correspondence ( which I have still ) or photos of my wedding to prove I did not wear their product ( which I also have ) or proof the full refund was never offered ( again, email chain ) ... Suntrust wiped out my bank account after the 60 day period and raked up NSF charges galore and kept my direct deposit from my payroll check. So, here my family and I will sit on XXXX eating cereal or sandwiches ( because my bank account is in the negative and we could not buy things for a XXXX meal ). I have made several attempts with Suntrust agents to get them to understand that I did not overdraw my account. That I received no correspondence. I have all my emails from Suntrust. The last thing I received from their claims department was the claim form. 
I would highly advise anyone searching for a bank, to not go to Suntrust. After this experience, I will be changing banks asap. They care nothing about their customers. The fact that they waited until two days before XXXX ( past the 60 day time frame ) when I had several pending transactions ( which resulted in NSFs ) to reverse a valid claim ... tells me just how much they DO N'T care.

Consumer complaint: Setting the Standard is SPECIALIZE LOAN SERVICING 'S SLS motto. However, for 2 and half years they keep saying they do n't have all my financial docs and that is the reason no mod to date.

To solve this problem with SLS I am going to create a XXXX PAGE and POST ALL MY PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION since SLS keeps losing it. MY TAXES, MY SSN, MY BANK STATEMENTS, THE COMPLETED RMA FORMS AND FAX RECIEPTS AND ALLL THE PROOF THAT I SENT EVERYTHING SLS ASKED FOR SO THE WHOLE WORLD CAN CLICK AND LIKE XXXX AND SHARE THEIR STORIES ABOUT SLS.

Now there are actually good people working at SLS. The last one I talked to said " an appeal letter is coming in the mail '' she was nice and sincere and somewhat intelligent but NO appeal letter ever showed UP!! I did receive a modification on my other property so it ca n't be that I do n't qualify .... it must be the disorganization of SLS losing my personal financial letters. XXXX here I come!!!

Consumer complaint: 1 ) I met with XXXX XXXX XXXX at my local branch and signed up for a promotion that would give me {$1000.00} bonus after opening a Select Business checking account, a business credit card and spending {$2000.00} on it within 60 days of opening. The terms of the promotion stated that within 90 days of meeting the requirements, the bonus will be posted to my account or if not, that they will mail me a check. I fulfilled the requirements for the promotion on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and am already past the 90 day waiting period needed for the bonus to be posted. I have made numerous calls to XXXX XXXX as well as other B of A representatives to follow up on the bonus, since I had already waited the 90 days after fulfilling the requirements. On XXXX occasions, I was misled and given the wrong information by B of A customer service ; XXXX XXXX, on the other hand, has been ambiguous, misleading and unhelpful. On our last telephone communication XXXX XXXX, he told me that I will have to wait ANOTHER 30 days. Then before this same conversation ended, he said it would take another 30 to 60 days. He kept changing the information/data he was giving me as we talked. 
- I believe I should have already received the {$1000.00} bonus by now since it is past 90 days from when I have fulfilled ALL the requirements of the promotion, including keeping all said accounts open and in GOOD standing. 
2 ) XXXX XXXX managed to mislead me and my husband by opening XXXX checking accounts, when for the purposes of the above promotion, ONLY XXXX checking account was required to be opened. I communicated my concern that there have been XXXX checking accounts opened, instead of just XXXX, which was what we intended. He told me not to worry about it - that he usually opens XXXX accounts for clients, since the second account would come free anyway. Because I did not want to jeopardize the conditions of the promotion, I did not close the extra ( XXXX ) checking account. Looking back now, I believe that XXXX XXXX intentionally opened XXXX checking accounts, when we intended to open only XXXX account - perhaps to fulfill some bank quota requirements to benefit him.

Consumer complaint: I submitted Earnest monies to North American Title. I filed contract for " Return of Earnest Monies '', from the Seller of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas XXXX. Seller and Realtor had no issues with signing contracts and returning calls to my realtor. Now I have decided against buying the home because lies were placed on the sellers and seller does not want to work with me regarding the roof damage. Now it has been close to a month and the North American Title has not returned Earnest Monies. TitleCompany states can not get in contact with seller. I can bet you that house is still on the market and seller/ Realtor has no problems contacting new prospective buyers. North American Title is intentionally delaying process of returning my monies. Two weeks ago I was told I would get a return call from North American Title regarding my earnest. Did not hear from North American Title. The Sellers agent is lying or the Title Company is lying. Lets see what the Title Company tell you the CFPB in writing under a Federal investigation

Consumer complaint: I called into Enhanced Recovery Cor to settle my {$370.00} XXXX account. I asked to speak to a manager because things usually go better that way. The representative asked me why, I explained, she replied with " so you think that 's going to help you not pay ''. 
She ended up transferring me when I threatened to hangup. The manager was rude, constantly interrupted me, raised his voice. When I offered to settle for {$100.00} which is all I can afford & a little over 25 % he laughed & said I needed to try & settle for at least half which is {$180.00}. I told him I could n't & he said that his company would check into that & call me every few days until I figured out how to pay it. 

Company response: Company disputes the facts presented in the complaint
Consumer complaint: I was added to a certain credit card as an " authorized user ''. The main reason is the primary did n't want the husband to know she opened another card. She 's in debt badly and uses my card so husband is left clueless. I repeatedly asked the primary to remove me from this card. Of course matters got worse when I requested that. Primary finally contacted the credit card company as did I and requested my total and complete removal. I am not responsible for this bill any longer. I have faithfully paid on this card for over 2 years, charges that were n't even mine but the primary 's. The primary has yet to accept responsibility for the " current balance '' which is not mine. This is making me and my credit look bad which took me years to get my credit back due to a lot of personal reasons. Transunion has been contacted numerous times by me to dispute this and remove it from my credit report. I disputed this mess to Transunion via XXXX XXXX and to them directly.They are the only company still showing this account on my report. All others took care of it immediately. I 'm not sure if I should list the credit cards name? Please help. Thank you for your time.
