Consumer complaint: Southwest Credit Systems never contacted me about item they posted to my credit report and has not validated the debt, I called them and they said that the item they put on my credit is from XXXX years ago, I never knew anything about this debt until I checked my credit report. 
I did a quick check online and found many bad reviews about Southwest Credit Systems, this company is accused of harassment, scamming, fraud, verbal abuse, producing false documentations etc. 
I do n't believe that they are licensed to collect in my state and I have reason to believe that this might be a scam.

I contacted the initial XXXX party website at : XXXX ( XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX Police, XXXX, XXXX, CA ) whereby they referred me as an employee and later I informed him of this phising scam and so he took a report. I said to him {$1600.00} was redeposited into my bank account as XXXX XXXX fowllowed me with my cell phone and cash was passed onto the next service agent. At no time did I understand by the XXXX that this was a phising scam, but Wells Fargo Bank bounced a fictitious paycheck that cleared on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and then, bounced on the XXXX. By that time, the cash was already deposited into XXXX XXXX XXXX across the street and I lost out on the total of {$1900.00} for alias account holder : XXXX XXXX XXXX account no, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Please let me know if there 's any restitution for this matter. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX

Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I received ACH transfer of {$7200.00} directly into my checking account XXXX into my Wells Fargo checking account. These were good funds. As of XXXX/XXXX/2015 these were my exclusive funds. No other issues with any aspect of said account. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, without any authorization from myself nor anyone in my behalf, notice, request, information, advance or post discussion or letter, call to me Wells Fargo debited my account with the same amount of {$7200.00} and claims to have returned to the original depositor. I have requested multiple times an explanation if such debit was for any specific valid legal reason, or court order, etc, but received no explanation from Well Fargo. Since these funds were exclusively mine after XXXX/XXXX/2015 no one else had the right the debit my account for such or any other sum.

Consumer complaint: Bank of the XXXX branch has been my bank for 27 years. Several years ago the present Manager and assistant told me I should have a Gold Line attached to my checking account because I was paying excessive overdraft feets that compiled even though the deposit to cover them was entered the same day. They placed the fees XXXX then registered the deposits. 
This has been the same only worse with the Gold Line because they can randomly choose an amount to transfer to cover an overdraft. Anywhere from {$50.00} up and then charge a loan fee of 19.9 % which is very very high. 
I asked the Manager XXXX in XXXX of 2015 if there was n't a different option and I was given the brush off and told no. 
The amounts of loaned money has grown to over {$900.00} and they keep " randomly adding money to my checking and building the loan amount. 
I know that many of the transfered money from the Gold line was unnecessary and that deposits were always made to cover my payments from the checking. 
There have been times when I know that the funds were available to cover a check but the bank used " timing '' in order to increase my Gold line balance.

Consumer complaint: We purchased a ring at Zales on XX/XX/XXXX. They had an 18 month XXXX interest financing promotion so we decided to take advantage of it. We financed {$6900.00}. We had an auto pay set up with Zales/citibank, they told us that they would notify us in writing when the promotional rate was going to be over so that we would pay the balance off in full. On XX/XX/XXXX, they call us and say that we owe them money and that it was a collection. We were shocked as we had been paying through autopay all along. Then they tell us that we owe an additional XXXX because the promotional rate expired. We told them we should have been notified in writing when the promotional rate was going to expire so we could pay off the balance and when our auto pay would cease. This was never disclosed to us when we purchased the ring. The promotional rate when we called expired on XX/XX/XXXX. They do not give appropriate disclosure regarding financing and it is a big issue trying to get in touch with someone to help resolve this.

Consumer complaint: A woman calling from 'Maury Cobb Attorney At Law ' at XXXX would not disclose the nature of the matter without me giving my date of birth. I did not offer any info. However, she did state my address and last XXXX digits of my social security number to try and get me to offer my date of birth. How she had that information is difficult to understand and of great concern. I told this woman that I have not received any notification by mail on any legal or debt matters. They may be trying to collect a student debt of a relative which was legally dismissed in bankruptcy. I was listed on that loan as a reference. That is my only theory on this. Nonetheless, I am not liable nor is my relative. An investigation is required.

Consumer complaint: I 've realized that credit card debt has caught up with me. I am not a big spender but have been paying interest rates that seem to cancel out my regular payments. I have been with Wells Fargo for eight years and the card with one of the highest interest rates I have is theirs. I went to the bank to discuss a low interest loan to help pay it off ( they were advertising a low interest loan ). They chatted me around the block and it is now almost two week and I have not heard anything back about approval. I am now sure that I am not approved. They have taken a ton of money from me on that card and consider me a valued customer ... I guess except when I no longer want to be a cash cow for them. I realize this is my error but one would expect better treatment from a company I have had a long relationship with. Can anything be done? I was not able to upload documents on this site. I can tell you that, although I 've used this card infrequently, the interest in 2015 alone is {$720.00} and counting.

Consumer complaint: Barclaycard has for the XXXX time offered by husband an increase in his credit line, while not offering one to me. We opened the accounts around the same time, carry similar balances, pay roughly the same monthly amounts, on the same day from the same bank account. We live at the same address, have mostly joint accounts, and have credit scores within about XXXX points of each other. Oh yes, and my husband earns $ XXXX per year, while I earn $ XXXX. The only marked difference between our accounts is that his is held my a man and mine a woman. I forgave the first instance of this in 2012 because they called it an oversight and promptly increased my limit above his. When I contacted them this time ( 1-called customer service, 2-sent email, 3-spoke to manager ) I was told I was " denied '' my request for an increase and lectured on my poor payment history. When I explained everything I stated above I was told that they do not take gender into account and it must be something else I have done. I am very disappointed and believe this company 's credit line policies should be reviewed at a national level to look for signs of gender bias.

Consumer complaint: The Transunion online dispute system NEVER works. I have had occasion to dispute items twice in the last 3 or 4 years, or correct erroneous information. Transunion is always the most difficult to deal with since they do not apparently automate the process.

Consumer complaint: I 'm sure you are aware of the provisions in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act XXXX FDCPA XXXX. However, I would like to point out that your company has violated provisions of the FDCPA by implying that the legal status of the debt is collectible by reporting the alleged debt to the credit bureaus. The exact statute : XXXX 15 USC 1692e ] ( 2 ) The false representation of -- ( A ) the legal status of the alleged debtand ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. 
I am also doubtful that you would have adequate documentation to prove in court that you have the right to report this negative information on my credit report, and therefore you are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the FDCPA. However, I will give you the chance to prove that you are lawfully entitled to report this information by requesting an investigation. 

I do not believe I owe what you say I owe therefore I dispute this debt. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and my state laws so I hope to save XXXX us a great deal of time by letting you know that not only do I dispute the validity of this debt, I have also checked with my State Attorney General and verified that the Statute of Limitations for enforcing this type of debt through the courts in XXXX, Virginia has expired. Therefore, should you decide to pursue this matter in court I intend to inform the court of my dispute of this debt and that the " statute of limitations '' has expired. 
This complaint is your formal notification that I consider this matter closed and demand that you, or anyone affiliated with your company, stop contacting me by phone on any number, regarding this or any other matter. You may contact me in writing to advise me that your debt collection efforts are being terminated or that you or the creditor are taking specific actions allowed by the FDCPA or my state laws. 
Be advised that I consider any contact not in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act a serious violation of the law and will immediately report any violations to my State Attorney General, to the Federal Trade Commission and, if necessary, take whatever legal action is necessary to protect myself. Be advised that I tape record all phone calls and violations of the FDCPA can result in you or your company being personally fined up to {$1000.00}. 

Now remove these erroneous items from my credit reports immediately.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2015 my significant other passed away, he was a secondary card holder on my account as is my niece, I am the primary card holder. On XXXX XXXX 2015, Netspend who has my prepaid card sent me an email stating not to use my card until I call them and when I spoke to a CSR he said risk management closed my account due to a secondary card holder 's death. When I tried to explain that I was the primary, I was told that risk management closed it and it was n't reversible. I made a complaint with the XXXX and Netspend responded with " anytime there is a death with a primary or secondary card holder the account is closed '' per their terms yet I could not find anything about death of card holders except that the XXXX card holder is responsible for the XXXX card holder card use. The CSR told me they could order a new card and account number but they ca n't reopen my account. I asked to speak to risk management and was put on hold, the CSR came back on the line again to tell me that they could open me a new account etc. I tried to explain to him that my payroll checks and my significant others checks still go to that account ( I 'm entitled to payments from his various holdings as his beneficiary ) again I was told they could open a new account for me and because of this my checks from his accounts have been put on hold for verification. After I contacted XXXX and the company contacted them I received a phone call from a XXXX XXXX and he left a message stating he was in the office until XXXX CST I retuned his call at XXXX CST time and he was not in his office, then I emailed him and told him and the XXXX that I would be contacting you, he has not called or emailed since I first emailed and called him.I do n't feel that they should have closed my account and at best they should have contacted me so that I may explain why his name was n't remove from my account, but know they closed it then contacted me

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX with Flagstar Bank requested a notary correction letter via email on XXXX/XXXX/2015.

Consumer complaint: I received a 30 and 60 day late notice on my credit that was reported by XXXX Bank. I disputed with experian XXXX but was told the credit was validated. I was sent to collections for a balance of {$2.00} from an overdraft protection charge from my reserve line credit account. First of all I paid my reserve line in full in XXXX of XXXX and requested it to be closed. I was then charged a {$5.00} overdraft protection fee in XXXX XXXX. Based on their XXXX Account XXXX I had the option to authorize an " opt in '' from my reserve line for overdraft protection but never approved or authorized XXXX Bank to draft from my reserve line for my checking account. The {$5.00} fee was taken from my reserve line and applied as an overdraft fee for my checking account. I included all documentation to show the transactions. I never received any calls of the fee nor emailed or mailed statements. XXXX Bank took the fee out of my account without authorization and ended up crediting back my account the balance and late fees in XXXX of XXXX ... two years since I requested it to be closed. XXXX Bank is also unwilling to correct my credit score as they said the XXXX notice ws valid ... they did remove the 60 day notice. XXXX Bank has been unwilling to work with me to get this corrected and I feel they reported incorrect info to the credit agencies even after I pointed out their error. Their intentional deception of credit reporting has damaged my credit history and thus would not allow me to qualify for a home loan. I was also told that XXXX Bank could have provided a coutesy removal of late notices but did not contact them in time ... XXXX Bank is deceptive in the credit practices and has taken steps to harm me since this was reported to the CFPB. I also contacted the president of XXXX Bank but XXXX XXXX was unwilling to protect the customer and is willing to allow his company to conduct deceptive and harmful collection and credit practices.
