Consumer complaint: three years ago bank of america put my name in the XXXX and other databases so i cant do any type of financial transactions on earth anymore. i had a direct deposit from an employer on a friday and typically the money would be available the following monday. on saturday morning i wanted to go to a book sale and pay cash so i wrote a check to my checking account and took out cash knowing that i would be able to cover the check with my direct deposit by the time bank of america " presented '' the check on monday. at bank of america, an transaction made after XXXX on a friday is a MONDAY business day transaction, so obviously my transaction on saturday morning was a MONDAY BUSINESS DAY TRANSACTION. the atm receipt had the date of the transaction ( which was about XXXX on saturday XXXX and also the " business date '' of the transaction which was listed as the following MONDAY. i had done this type of transaction many times before without problems. on monday when i went to the atm to deposit cash to cover the check i had written on saturday morning it said my account had been closed. i called bank of america the they told me they had put my name in the XXXX database as having done " bank fraud '' and that i would never be able to do any type of financial transaction on earth for the rest of my life. i then went over to the local branch in XXXX california and talked to the branch manager XXXX XXXX. he took {$860.00} cash from me ( this was monday afternoon ) so if they hadnt closed the account the check would have been fully funded. he called bank of america and they confirmed to him that they had put my name on XXXX and that i was now blackballed from doing financial transactions on earth. the corporate offices told him nothing could be done about it because " the department that put my name in the XXXX database doesnt talk to anyone, either bank of america employees or customers ''. this was very unfair to me as, under their own rules, bank of america should not have submitted that check until monday, and since the bank manager took {$860.00} from me, the check would not have bounced. obviously since bank of america did not lose money they were not the victim of " bank fraud ''. i went to several other banks like XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and credit unions and i was indeed blackballed from doing financial transactions in america, none of them would open an account for me. this has had a drastic effect on my life since my business in online and i need a bank account to receive payments from customers.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I sent a payoff to Loan Depot in the amount of {$34000.00} for a loan balance of # {$33000.00}. Due to untimely payment processing I ordered a stop pay on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. At that time my bank issued another check to loan depot in the amount of {$34000.00}. Again due to untimely payment processing I ordered a stop payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called Loan Depot to payoff the loan via ACH over the phone. At that time Loan Depot was unable to accept my payment because the prior XXXX checks were not returned. Loan depot stated that they would honor my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX payoff as soon as their system allowed for an ACH payment. Loan Depot 's system updated on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to allow for me to make an ACH payment. When I called to pay, I was told that my payoff is as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, not XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I was told by the customer service representative that it was my fault their system would not allow them to accept my payoff on XXXX because of the stop pays, therefore, I was being charged an additional 20 days of interest.

Consumer complaint: We paid a closed Home Depot credit card instead of our active Home Depot card. Citibank took the payment but never applied to the correct account. They then got a judgment against us with the incorrect balance and we never ever aware of the judgment being served in 2011. And now Citibank has a debt collecting attorney trying to apply a wage execution based on a false balance judgment. This is absolutely awful behavior or Citibank and we need CFPB to contact them so their debt collectors XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stop the application for wage execution.

Consumer complaint: RE : XXXX Contacted Navy Federal CU to setup my mortgage payment this month. Due to recurring issues with car repairs I had to set the payment up in two installments, the first payment dated for today and the second payment dated for XX/XX/XXXX. 

I was told by a collections rep, by the name of XXXX/Employee ID # XXXX, that it was against their policy to set the payment up in installments. I have felt with this issue before with Navy Fed CU and advised the representative that he was incorrect and that he needed to set my payment up as I had requested. 

After dealing with his frustrating and harassing tactics for over 30 minutes he finally set the payments up as I had requested of him, in installments as outlined above. The employee did not act in accordance with their policies and procedures and I asked him on many occasions why he was refusing to take my payment. He refused to answer the question, primarily because calls are recorded. 

It seems to me that this tactic can be construed as Navy Federal CU causing consumers frustration and stress which could lead in consumers becoming delinquent with their mortgage payments. Navy Federal CU needs to put a stop to these harassing tactics - when consumers call in to make a payment they need to be accommodating and not harassing. I would like this concern to be made public and I want someone in Management or in the Legal Dept at Navy Fed CU to contact me. 

Lastly, I want to also mention that my mortgage with Navy Fed CU has never been more than 30 days late so I do n't deserve to be treated like someone who is n't paying their bills responsibly.

Consumer complaint: Statement date XXXX/XXXX/2015 and the latest correspondence from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. In depositing funds into and for my monthly mortgage for XXXX 2015 of {$300.00} and unapplied funds of {$540.00}, which sat in my account since XXXX XXXX, 2015. I asked the teller at the Wells Fargo route XXXX branch in XXXX, NC to total and add the deposit which totaled {$840.00} to my current XXXX monthly mortgage. She and XXXX of the bank supervisors looked over the account, saw that the unapplied funds were there and specifically asked " how would you like you 're deposit and unapplied funds applied ''?. To which I replied to my current XXXX monthly payment. In the latest statement dated XXXX/XXXX/2015, I see that my request was not honored and that when Wells Fargo received these funds, they applied {$170.00} to principal, $ {$420.00} to principal and {$220.00} to escrow. While the statement states Unapplied XXXX / Unapplied {$300.00}. I write this in frustration and awe as to the tactics Wells Fargo Home Mortgage displays on a daily basis when it comes to my account, as if this is a game to them. I hereby request a Forensic Audit on my account to clarify how the deposits that I have made, have been applied to my account. It is troubling to say the least that Wells Fargo continues to taunt customers into believing they can not understand exactly what is taking place. Especially when it comes to understanding ones account. I currently posses all of the deposit slips I have made and personally walk into the bank, speak and know bank managers personally when making my deposits and I do this for this very reason. Not to just exchange pleasantries, but to also make certain that all my deposits are accounted for.

Consumer complaint: Trans Union has ignored my pleas to them about being a victim of identity theft. They have not deleted the items that I have provided them a police report for. They are ignoring my consumer rights. I expect fraudulent items to be deleted not play games about filing out forms to have a " fraud alert '' on my credit which does ZERO to get these fraudulent items off my report and does NOT stop identity thieves from stealing my identity. I will get a freeze once TU gets off their hands and does their jobs!

Consumer complaint: We have received a letter of " Notice of Pre-Foreclosure options '' form bank of America for our house on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, WA XXXX The letter requests that we " respond within 30 days or a notice of default may be issued and you may lose your home in foreclosure ''. 
Yet, the latter did not include why this letters was issued and why we may lose our home for a foreclosure. Bank of America failed to tell us know what is the problem and what action we need to take to avoid such action by them. Especially when we paid our mortgage on time every month since 2009. 
I am attaching the letter we received from Bank of America and the last mortgage statement. We here by request asking your assistance in resolving this issue and would like the bank to : 1. Specify exactly what is the problem and what we need to do to resolve. We need that in clear " English '' not in obscure lawyer language. 
2. Rescind the letter in writing. 

We also, contacted the bank today and the customer service person was not able to help and he stated that he " could not find any reason fro such letter since our payments are up-to-date ''. On top of that, he stated that he could not do anything.

Consumer complaint: TransUnion allowed an individual ( criminal ) using my SSN to setup an online account and purchase my credit report using a stolen credit card number. Only when the account holder for the stolen credit card complained about a fraudulent transaction did TransUnion permanently block online access to my credit file. At no time did TransUnion notify me of the credit breach nor has TransUnion offered any protective services. The individual ( criminal ) has a complete copy of my entire credit history.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX entered into a Consent Order with the CFPB regarding their litigation department collection calling practices, resulting in a refund of payments made as a result of these predatory practices. My account, formally with XXXX was settled in full, however, XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report this as an active collection account. This false reporting is detrimental to my credit score, and it appears to anyone reviewing my credit report that I still owe money, and the account is in an active collection status.

Consumer complaint: Purchased prepaid card on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX from XXXX. 
Did not use card until XXXX. 
Apparently someone else used the card number in XXXX to purchase goods or services AND registered this card number under their own name. Called issuer on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Issuer was vague and unresponsive. Suggested I fax in supporting documents, which I did on same date. 
It appears that this card number may have been issued twice. 
Issuer has failed to respond to my fax.

Consumer complaint: I am XXXX of those mistreated borrowers by Green Tree Servicing and its agent XXXX in the State of California. I was threatened, yelled and cursed at with garnished wages, arrest, called a liar and a dead beat. My loan debt was fabricated and was falsely misrepresented. Denied verification and my employer and fellow workers were notified about my loan status. My credit was ruined and I was forced into foreclosure and bankruptcy. This has been an never ending nightmare! 

Since the beginning that Green Tree ( XXXX XXXX ) alleged that my mortgage loan was in arrears and in distress, I have disputed Green Tree 's claim of missed mortgage payments or that my loan was in arrears or distress. 

I disputed in access of XXXX letters, emails and phone calls to Green Tree and XXXX XXXX allegations in XXXX of XXXX that my mortgage loan was in arrears in the amount of XXXX dollars or that my mortgage account was in arrears or distress. I was denied by Green Tree and its agent XXXX XXXX any remedy of an account by written itemization, complete audit or face to face meetings as required by law in the State of California. 


Whereas my contact person, an employee authorized by Green Tree Services with an office in the state of California, acknowledged that after conducting an internal audit in XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, agreed that my loan was not in arrears or distress. She could not understand why her supervisors refused to authorize any written itemizations or audits of any alleged missing monthly mortgage loan payments. She further stated that she was not authorized to update or service my account. She also conveyed to her supervisors that I wanted a face to face meeting with Green Tree Services and XXXX XXXX. 

Whereas a XXXX XXXX Supervisor requested written verification directly from the vice president of Green Tree Servicing. The request to the Vice President took place in XXXX of XXXX, after she became aware of disputed issues that were proven to be false with valid cashed checks from XXXX Bank issued to Green Tree Services. I was promised by that XXXX supervisor that a written itemized statement showing first missed payments and any additional missed payments would be provided before any further foreclosure proceeding took place. When the final foreclosure proceeding took place in XXXX of XXXX, and after repeated emails and phone calls to the XXXX Supervisor that were not answered or returned, I was in fact not given any such written itemized audits from Green Tree Services on how they determined that I owed {$32000.00} dollars and denied any opportunity for a face to face meeting to mitigate my mortgage loan that was being serviced by Green Tree Services.

Consumer complaint: What Macy 's is up to with its collections and compounding late-fee practices does n't seem ethical to me, and hopefully will become illegal. 
After making about {$600.00} in purchases XX/XX/XXXX, I set up my monthly {$25.00} Macy 's payments set up with my bank ( XXXX XXXX ) to go out XX/XX/XXXX, three days before the due date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
XX/XX/XXXX I started getting five calls a day ( literally ) from Macy 's that my payments were late and I was behind! Say what?! 
I called XXXX to ask what the heck was going on. They explained that if XX/XX/XXXX fell on a weekend, as it had in XX/XX/XXXX, they wait until the following Monday ( or Tuesday, if a long weekend ) to send it. 
And because I did n't know about it and my next auto payment in XX/XX/XXXX did not include the {$35.00} late fee, Macy 's charged me ANOTHER late fee, so were not claiming I owed them {$70.00}. : - ( I unhappily paid the late fees and requested that XXXX to move the payment dates up by 2-3 days, to XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. 
2-3 months later, more harassment calls from Macy 's started. Same story : XXXX late payments and compounding late fees. 
I called XXXX again -- the person I spoke with earlier at the bank had n't moved the pay-out date. I stayed on the phone this time to get confirmation as XXXX moved the date up to XXXX, a full week before my Macy 's payments were due. 

Out of principle, because their practice of charging late fees for unpaid late fees is so very wrong, I have dug in my heels and not paid the late fees. So although my minimal {$25.00} per month has been paid like clockwork each month since XX/XX/XXXX, Macy 's has continued to mount hundreds of dollars in late fees. 
My letters to the exec offices of Macy 's have done no good. They are intransigent about this practice, which to me, seems like extortion. 

I closed the account and told them I will be paying off my entire bill for the merchandise and interest, but out of principle, I that I will not be paying them their late fees. 
Please look into this, and press for reforms to any legal loopholes that allows Macy 's to take advantage of consumers in this way. 

Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: My account for XXXX services I received from a local XXXX XXXX XXXX was placed at MERCHANT CREDIT Agency for collection. The information in my file contains my personal information including my SSN. Recently I have noticed suspicious active on my credit report in the time my account was place in MERCHANT CREDIT Agency.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2015 I submitted written request to close my Citibank , N.A . Checking, Checking Plus and Money Market Accounts. The accounts had XXXX balances. In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a follow-up letter as I kept receiving statements. No response was received. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a threatening Citi ( XXXX ). I responded stating the a/c was closed, asking them to correct their records. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a Citi ( XXXX ) threat letter aimed at collecting debt! This debt more than likely represents rapacious fees imposed after the account should have been closed -- with interest and late fees tacked on, I am sure! This letter asked me to call, and did not advise that I would be waiving some of my consumer rights by doing so. I responded in writing pointing out the account was closed. A few days later, a threat letter specifying over {$600.00} was unpaid and overdue, was received under the same Citi ( XXXX ) name. I am sending a response in writing again. 
This is harassment at this point. Citi has ignored my instructions to close this account, which had no balances or overdrafts. Citi has not responded to my written requests to close this account and provide status. I had accounts here for 25 years. How deceitful and dishonest Citi has become, with low customer service standards. There is not one shred of decent customer service on display here.This company is clearly out of control. It is not observing basic consumer law. I need help dealing with this arrogant, out-of-control bank.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/15 I started an International Wire Transfer to XXXX at a Union Bank branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. Since the transfer was going to be sent to XXXX US Dollars were converted to XXXX XXXX After 72 hours that transfer was started I went back to the branch and I was told that the Wire transfer was not completed because of incorrect beneficiary information. I was told that if I decided to cancel the Wire Transfer I would be receiving less money because of the difference in exchange rate. I was never told that if I did not decided to cancel the wire transfer I would have gotten all of my money back into my account. Because the currency was changed back from XXXX XXXX to US Dollars, by cancelling the wire transfer I ended losing {$930.00} US Dollars

Consumer complaint: I have XXXX loans ( XXXX school ) that combine to XXXX from Wells Fargo. I have been looking for employment since XX/XX/XXXX -- approximately 6 months before graduation and 16 months from today --, and since then I have been unable to find any. I am living with my mother for the first time in a decade, my savings are now depleted, and I can no longer pay the loan minimums. 

When I contacted Wells Fargo last month ( XX/XX/XXXX ) in our ongoing conversation about this issue, a representative told me that I was eligible for further 2 month forbearance on each loan. I called today to arrange these forbearances, but the representative I spoke to refused to extend the forbearance to me, despite the fact that his colleague offered me the option before, and despite the facts that I banked with Wells Fargo XX/XX/XXXX and even held a mortgage with them that was always paid on time. 

I can not make these payments and my family is no longer wealthy enough to pay my loans for me. I am doing everything within the law to find work and I will need my ( still-good ) credit to be able to rent or buy another house -- credit that will be compromised if the loans go into default. I do not understand what Wells Fargo wishes to accomplish by pursuing me for money that I can not pay them. I thought that I was getting a loan from a reputable lender XX/XX/XXXX ; today I feel like I 'm being victimized by a loan shark. 

I hope that the CFPB can intervene on my behalf in this matter.

Consumer complaint: Experian refuses to delete a paid judgment. I sent them the document stating that the judgment has been satisfied, and according to NYS 5 year rule, it should be off my report. Experian told CFPB, that the judgment is not on my report, but that is a LIE, it is still on there and still marked as unpaid. This is my second complaint to CFPB, if Experian does not remove this judgment I have no choice but to sue. The judgment is paid, I sent them the paper that shows it is paid, I called the court, the court says it is paid, it has been 5 years I an a New York State resident, why is this still on my report? If Experian actually investigated they would know that the judgment is paid they obviously did not investigate anything. 
XXXX Experian Identification number {$14.00}, XXXX civil claim judgment XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Date filed XXXX, 2011.

Consumer complaint: XXXX Regarding above complaint ; after months of fighting, Wells Fargo forgave the debt and XXXX out my account and closed it. Months later, I started receiving collections calls for more than {$1400.00}. 
I have been what seems as duped into believing that this company had rectified this error on their part and instead just moved the debt to another are of the company to try and retrieve. 
Please tell me how I may fix this once and for all and move on from this nightmare. 
Supporting document will be uploaded asap.
