Consumer complaint: I got a call from a XXXX XXXX in XXXX, 2014, telling me he specialized in lead generations. He would purchase leads from a XXXX party lead generator. The leads were {$20.00} each and because I had a XXXX time grant from XXXX and I would invest {$100000.00} then I could purchase XXXX leads. I almost did that but left for a week, where I received at least XXXX phone calls telling me I had committed to this and that XXXX supervisor was upset. 
Then I got called by XXXX supervisor who was very upset that I did n't follow through with my purchase. XXXX supervisor pressured me into buying leads for the amount of {$60000.00}. The leads would come from businesses that had been rejected by the banks to get XXXX terminals and they would result in a 3 to 7 % success rate. 
Then I had also gotten a phone call from a XXXX XXXX XXXX who said he was in charge of monitoring my leads and staying on top of his employees that called the businesses on my behalf on the leads I had purchased for {$60000.00} from XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
I was informed, by each of these merchants, about a XXXX package that would enable me to build my business and to make a lot of money. These firms were to provide me with business opportunities, commissions, web site, leads, XXXX of XXXX of unique targeted visitors, as seen in the fraud case. I never received the products promised on any of these purchases. These companies deceitfully obtained my banking information and intended to use your payment system to defraud me by unauthorized use of my money. 
Since the initial payment, I have not received the services that were promised to me. I have made numerous attempts to contact the companies in an attempt to get refunds and there has been no response. I trusted these companies with my money and they did nothing but take from me repeatedly. Since these companies have stolen my money and not performed, delivered or helped in the ways that were promised, I am disputing the charges on the grounds that they were fraudulent. 
Fraud occurs when a person or business intentionally deceives another with promises of goods, services, or financial benefits that do not exist, were never intended to be provided, or were misrepresented. 
The above named merchants, about whom I 've found countless complaints on the web, knew the dispute rules and informed me that it could take up to 12 months for services to be rendered. This was done in an attempt to delay my dispute beyond the eligible date. " Intent to deceive '' is clearly listed by FTC guidelines as an unlawful violation that should be refunded. These merchants ' ability to process should be revoked!

I am unable to access any of my money and was told it would take up to XXXX business days to resolve. I am now unable to pay bills or buy groceries. My personal banker and bank manager made numerous calls about this but did not get anywhere. They could not even identify who put the hold on the accounts or why, and found no one to help us. I have made numerous calls to the numbers I 've been given, and just keep getting transferred back and forth, and never reach someone in charge.

Consumer complaint: I have been a credit card member from citi bank since 2011, over the past 6 months I have had issues dealing with the company after my card expired and it seemed impossible to get a new valid card. About 4 months ago I decided to not worrie about the card because I no longer wanted to use it anyway to reduce any extra dealings with the company. My account stayed open and I continued to make payments. Now 2 months ago I can not view my account ballance or make a payment online because the card number associated to the account is n't valid ( nor has been prior ) so I was cut off from accessing my account. I called the company and was told a new card was being issued and after being hassled and having to give my SS # as the only way to access my account over the phone they agreed to take payment over the phone. When doing so I made confirmed my mailing address to receive the card. This months payment rolls around, still no card, still no access to account information. I call again tell them the issue talk to a " specialist '' who reviews my account apologizes for the problem and states a new card will be arriving in 7-14 days. 
This morning I check my email and il there is a message from citi denying me a valid card for the account. I could care less for the new card however in doing so they are still cutting me off from making payments online or even access to account info. This company is setting people up for failure and profiting from it.

Consumer complaint: My husband and I applied for a refinance loan from Loan Depot about XXXX XXXX, 2014. We filled out the required information with XXXX of their agents, do not remember his name, maybe XXXX. Subsequent to providing all relevant information we were informed we qualified for a refinance through the VA since my husband is a veteran. Our current mortgage interest rate is 9 % and the VA interest rate was much lower. We were at the point where an inspection was scheduled. We were asked to provide the cost of the inspection, which we did. At this time we were suddenly advised by the agent our VA loan was unavailable due to the fact the VA DID NOT LOAN for homes on leased property. We do not own the property. Instead of checking with the VA to verify this we accepted this disappointing decision. Recently we received information from a VA Mortgage Center regarding VA Loans. When I requested the regulations for a refinance I was informed the VA DID, indeed, loan on manufactured homes on leased property. Therefore, Loan Depot agents lied to us rather than fulfill the loan. We are both retired, XXXX who know they were blatantly deceitful. ( Their reference # is : XXXX XXXX/XXXX/2014 )

Consumer complaint: I had an " interest free '' deal with Home Depot to have a new roof installed. Total cost {$14000.00}. I was down to a balance of {$1100.00} and was continuing to pay the minimum each month as well as interim principal payments. On my XXXX statement I see that HD billed me {$1600.00} in deferred interest since the complete loan as not paid by the end of XXXX. In essence, I was billed {$1600.00} on a balance of {$1100.00}. I call customer service and they claim " this was clear '' in my monthly statement. My understanding from HD salesperson was loan was interest free through XXXX of 2015. Never made clear that if there was {$1.00} of principal outstanding HD would go back and retroactively apply 22 % interest. This is outrageous and abusive. I am XXXX years old and feel that I have been taken advantage of by this huge corporation. Help please

Consumer complaint: I received a voicemail message from " XXXX '' at " Legal Prevention Services '' looking for my boyfriends mother. My boyfriend received the same phone call about XXXX minutes later. I did not answer, so a voicemail message was left on my phone revealing the full name of my boyfriends mother and the fact that she owed a debt. Upon returning the phone call and immediately stating that I had received a message in reference to a debt owed by a person other than myself, she asked me for the number that she had reached me at and again stated the full name of my boyfriends mother and that her call was in reference to a debt. She continued to elaborate stating that when a debt reaches a certain stage, they use an internet search to locate any possible associates of the debtor and are authorized to contact them. Although this may be true ( I personally think its wrong ) she can not reveal to me that a debt is owed, and she did this XXXX to me and XXXX when she spoke to my boyfriend. From a quick XXXX search it would appear that this " agency '' violates the FDCPA with each and every phone call it makes.

Consumer complaint: I have disputed erroneous information on my credit report to which Experian responded that the information was " verified ''. Since then, I have sued a few of these creditors for refusing proper verification and they have been removed by the creditor. Experian continues to report erroneous information and the remaining creditors will not respond with appropriate debt validation. Additionally, Experian is letting unauthorized people check my credit and is reporting addresses that do not belong to me. Due to the fact that I have evidence that XXXX or more account they were reporting was in fact, not mine, this calls for a re-investigation and deletion of the incorrect data.

Consumer complaint: I disputed an account on my Experian and XXXX credit reports that I believe is invalid or possibly the result of prior identity theft. 

The account was deleted, but then was re-added by another debt collection company who modified the date to re-age the debt so that it would appear as a recent debt causing more damage to my credit score and prolong the duration that it would appear on my credit report. 

The invalid account is listed as {$110.00} owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, account # XXXX, opened on XXXX/XXXX/2015. 

I disputed this account a XXXX time with the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Colorado Attorney General 's Office. The debt collector stated that they believed the debt to be valid, but would have to deleted from my credit report while the investigation is ongoing. 

As of today, this invalid information is still on my credit report. I have attached the letter from the debt collector stating that they have requested the credit bureau to delete this account. 

I am asking that the credit bureau act promptly on this delete request.

Consumer complaint: I have a XXXX card that was enrolled, without my consent, into a debt protection program. This resulted in monthly fees that went unnoticed due to not being aware of the enrollment ; the charges date back to 2008 when HSBC owned my XXXX ( it is Citibank 's now ). My total balance due hardly declined due to the monthly charges of this protection. Now I owe almost XXXX my maximum credit limit because my deferred interest has reached its deadline and has now being applied to the total balance. I would have much less balance due and interest accrued if it was not for the monthly fee of an unauthorized enrollment in debt protection. If I did not enroll in a debt protection, it is because I did not need it.

Consumer complaint: Paid {$3500.00} on a Citi card to pay it off because they said they would keep the line of credit open if I paid it off. It was in my husband 's name, not mine. Although, I knew I was not responsible to a point, I knew it would hurt my credit and he was going to be out of work for awhile and we needed to keep the line of credit. So, we borrowed the full amount and I made the payment in full. They processed the payment to his bank where the money was not and they knew to process the payment to the primary bank account which was mine. They said since the actual payment did not post in the right amount of time they had to close the account. So not only did we not have the money for his treatment, this is wrong. They made a mistake and they know it. Now also, my account has been removed from the credit account because they know they messed up. Citi bank is corrupt. I have all faxes and print outs. I would print everything on everyday. So I have all documentation. 

Please assist.

Consumer complaint: I received a letter to my physical address I provided to Bank of America. This letter was mailed to my current physical address ( XXXX, WA ) and asking for my country of residence.

I wish that the bank could confirm that my account information is secured and that they overlooked my account information prior to mailing this letter. The Bank of America chat representative could not state why my information was missed on the automated and validated online application. I was given no choice but to provide this letter back or my checking account would be closed.
