Consumer complaint: I was returning a call from my auto company AFS acceptance, I informed my rep XXXX that I needed to make the payment on the last Thursday on the month I just started a new job and my pay dates are off now. I hope with my taxes I can get my payments back on track and not pay late any more. She told me she did n't want to wait for my taxes, I told her that 's not what I stated, I called to set up a payment and tried to repeat what I told her the first time. She told me to listen to her, I informed her it was my mom 's birthday, and I was on a XXXX min break I just wanted to set up my payment she told me if she could n't talk she was going to end the call and hung up. I called back and requested to speak with a manager and asked them to cease all call, I got XXXX calls the next day. I found it really rude that she got upset about a payment that was only one day late at the time, and for her to tell me that she was not going to depend or wait on my taxes when that was not what I stated.

Consumer complaint: Let me tell you a story about CITI Bank and how they treat their cardholders. 

My family and I went on a XXXX, in XXXX of 2015. Before we left I contacted Citi Bank and informed with a nearly complete itinerary of where and when I would be in XXXX and that I would be making a substantial payment on my card so that I would have plenty of credit available. At the time I had a {$10000.00} limit. I was informed I was all set for my trip and that I would not have any problems. 
Apparently several days after I left ( remember CITI knows when I was leaving ), my credit limit was reduced by CITI to {$6500.00}, approximately how much was charged on the card, therefore I had about XXXX credit available. When I found out via a satellite courtesy call from the ship to CITI, an account manager recommended paying another {$1000.00} down on my card and I would be all set for the rest of my trip. So we did a phone transfer from my bank to the card. All set again right! 
So 5 or 6 days later when it came time to disembark in XXXX and come back to the good old USA, it turns out CITI refused the charge. Since it was the only card I had with me I was stuck, for all intents and purposes trapped with my wife and XXXX daughter. Fortunately another family member on board had another credit card for us to borrow. 
Finally about 3 or 4 weeks later we decided to confront CITI with this fiasco and how this happened. We called CITI and a customer care representative made about a half dozen excuses ' and then said CITI bank was sorry and they would give me {$100.00} for my trouble. I said that was unacceptable and I would like to speak to a manager/supervisor about this. There was no one available at the time, so we being understanding offered to make an appointment for a call back. The appointment was made for 4 days later, during normal business hours. The phone call never came. I guess we are n't important enough to call back. 
So a couple of weeks later, a few days after the next bill was due and I did n't pay it. I decided that would be the best way to get a call back. I missed the call that came 3 1/2 weeks later. 
Finally I spoke to an array of CITI another 2 weeks after that, and here are the excuses : My second payment was put on a 5 day hold because it was my second large payment in a monthThe employee who advised me of making the second payment had no knowledge that the hold would be made ( even though it is one of their policies according to another CITI member ). 
I finished my phone call with a customer service manager ( named XXXX ) who proceeded to tell me that it was only bad timing ( possibly a coincidence ) and not CITI 's error in way whatsoever and there was nothing he could do for me. I took that as TOO BAD. 
I do n't believe in coincidences, these decisions were made by CITI intentionally to get as much repayment as possible regardless of the cost to me the customer. I plan on taking CITI to some type of civil court so I can at least expose their ruthless inhumane to more people.

Consumer complaint: My mortgage lender, Bank of America, issued a trial modification plan for my home, but then they refused to make the modification permanent!! 
Bank of America told us that we qualify for modification and we meet all the requirements, but there is an issue from 4 years ago that has caused a red flag on my file!!! 

They claim that we failed to give them correct tax returns during the previous modification request which was 4 years ago. The fact of the matter is that 4 years ago we applied for modification which was denied. That process was done through a " third party '' that represented us during the modification request 4 years ago. Everything that was requested at that time we provided -- including tax returns -- to that representative who should have forwarded them to Bank of America. If that third party failed to forward the requested items to Bank of America, it was not our fault. 
Furthermore, 3 months ago I sent the tax returns for those missing years to Bank of America. 

Now Bank of America claims that 4 years ago they did not receive the tax returns in a timely manner and this is a sign of a legal tax violation!!! Their excuses are just absolute none sense! I have provided all tax documents for 2014 and I even provided the tax returns that they claim were missing from 4 years ago, even though it has no relevance to my current modification request. Bank of America 's response is very unreasonable and unfair. They claim that I qualify for all requirements of the modification plan but because of some vague and unclear excuses, from a previous 4-year old closed file, they can not finalize my current modification file!!! 
They also refuse to explain the problem clearly and in writing!! 

It is very absurd, unfair, and unreasonable for a lender to deny " permanent '' modification after they approved the trial modification, Based on the status of a 4 year old previous file which was closed a long time ago!!! 
This is very unreasonable and unfair.

Consumer complaint: I received a voicemail saying that I was trying to be contacted and if the message was not returned, paperwork would be filed with the local county authorities. I returned the call within 30 min and was informed that I was being prosecuted for writing a bad check for a loan. Later in the conversation I was told the company I was speaking with was Coastal Collections. When I asked details, I was told that the date was in 2013, the amount {$450.00}, and it was for XXXX XXXX. When I asked for contact information for XXXX XXXX, who I have never heard of, I was told I could not have that information. I have never taken a loan for {$450.00}, written a bad check, or been notified of this being a collection against me. When I asked when I could expect documentation from XXXX, Coastal Collections said it was up to XXXX, but I could expect a subpeona soon and could fight this in court. 

Company response: Company believes complaint caused principally by actions of third party outside the control or direction of the company
Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016 at about XXXX I spoke with a representative XXXX to gain clarity and further verification of a debt in their office. Later he provided a Pay for Deletion offer in the amount of {$3000.00} to get IQ Data off my credit report. I asked him to give me sometime and I would call him back the following day. On XXXX XXXX XXXX called to continue discussing the Pay for Deletion and when asked to furnish a letter he refused and placed me on the phone with his supervisor. The supervisor after I told her I was n't going to furnish my credit card info to guarantee me the Pay for Deletion and terms discussed said she was going to place that I refuse to pay the debt in the notes to the file. As well as charging interest to the debt that is owed. The interest was over {$1500.00} and the claimed debt I owed was over {$4700.00}. When asked to send my debt back to the original creditor IQ Data reperesenative refused. This has truly place a strain and damage to y credit report and history for the past XXXX. These practices are illegal under the FCDPA and the FCRA.

Consumer complaint: Specified Credit Association continues to try to collect a debt that I do n't owe them. I never established a contract with this company and they have continued to call and harass me on my work and home phone and sending me harassing letters indicating that they will report the negative item on to my credit reports if I do n't pay them. They are breaking the FCRA laws.

Consumer complaint: Governed by 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ) sets forth the required contents of a typical collection, or dunning, letter : ( a ) Notice of debt ; contents ( 1 ) The amount of the debt ; XXXX indicates this is multiple accounts and list only XXXX. 
( 2 ) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; NOT PROVIDED ( 3 ) A statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; NOT PROVIDED ( 5 ) A statement that, upon the consumer 's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. NOT PROVIDEDAnd leads me to believe it also violates the following - 15 U.S.C. 1692e : " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. '' 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) : A debt collector may not falsely represent " the character, amount, or legal status of any debt '' 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 10 ) : A debt collector may not use " any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect any debt or to obtain information concerning a consumer. '' 15 U.S.C. 1692f specifically provides that a debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt, including, without limitation, collecting " any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. ''

Consumer complaint: We are working with Wells Fargo on a police and fire ( PFRS mortgage ). The mortgage broker, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Mortgage Consultant - XXXX ID XXXX, in charge of our mortgage process failed us miserably. She was n't returning phone calls, emails and then never sent the loan confirmation to our lawyer. In addition, she was n't communicating with her own underwriters. The underwriters could n't even contact her. She was n't returning their emails or phone calls. They could n't find documents that she apparently said she had sent. She chose not to step up and apologize but rather now has been dragging her feet even more. We have a closing date for XXXX XXXX. We are unsure now that we will be able to close. Very frustrated.

Consumer complaint: My husband lost his job XXXX XXXX, 2015. I am in nonprofit, not enough to pay our mortgage. We 've been in this home for 20 years ... stuck in a bad mortgage ( we expected to refinance this fall but he lost the job ). We have never once been late, ever, until a week ago ( but we have not been sent to credit, as it has not been 30 days ). The loss of income coincided with this loans uptick in interest rate and principal payment, which is overwhelming. WELLS FARGO will do nothing to assist while my husband is out of work. We are not asking for forgiveness, just help during this time. This morning we were told they would do nothing.

Consumer complaint: I refinanced my loan 3 years ago. I have never received a statement during this time frame and thought I could only make my mortgage payments on line. Each time I made a payment I was charged an extra fee of {$5.00} to {$10.00} each transaction. There is no where on the web site advising me of my right to mail in a payment and not have to pay the extra fee. I have been trying to reach customer service for a mailing address and so far have been on hold for over 2 hours and it is XXXX. ( open till XXXX per web page )

Consumer complaint: I was the victim of a scam six years ago for a large sum of money. I was sent fraudulent checks, which I was not aware of at the time, and my bank cashed those checks out to me even without the necessary funds to cover the checks. Thinking that this money was from a legitimate employer I cashed the checks and I sent the remaining money as they had asked. I was still in college at the time. Bank of America closed my account and made me pay the money back through a debt collector. Worried that my credit and reputation was at stake, I setup payments and paid all the money back. Still any time that I try to open a new bank account, I am rejected even though I have good credit and no other complaints on my history besides this one incident. I am always told that I need to talk to the " Risk Department. '' They then tell me that there is nothing they can do to remove my name off the alert and have me contact the XXXX ( XXXX ). When I call that companies customer service they tell me that there is nothing they can do and that Bank of America is the company responsible for removing my name from the list. Thankfully, I was able to get an account with another bank by starting out with a very limited savings account and was allowed to have a checking account after we " developed a relationship '' and I was put on a trust list with their bank. I can not even be added to my wife 's Bank of America account due to this issue. My credit score is really good and we are looking to buy a house soon. My loan specialist really wants both of our names on our bank accounts. Because this has been such a hassle, my wife is probably going to have to close her account with Bank of America and put all of her savings into my account with my bank ; therefore creating more work for her. My wife 's account is where the majority of our financial savings lies and we need to be able to show that for the home loan we are applying for. I do not understand why I am not able to be cleared even after I have paid all of the amount of the scam off. Though bank error was also a fault in the issue, I paid all of the Claim amount to the debt collector by XXXX of 2012 in order to try to reestablish my reputation.

Consumer complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I purchased internet and TV services from XXXX XXXX XXXX. After a series of problems, and incorrect charges I decided to end the service with them and completely cancel. The connection to the services at home was never done. For this reason i continue to get charged and now have Sunrise Credit Services trying to collect the debt. I have made over 30 calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoken with many managers. They have all said they have resolved the issue but still continue to get charged for the service they did not render. I continuously call XXXX XXXX XXXX representatives to get it fixed but still have not had any resolve. As a result my credit score can be affected. XXXX XXXX XXXX has claimed that it is an error that they committed but I still continue to have this problem.

Consumer complaint: I closed on my home XX/XX/XXXX and my first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX. From that date I have made a payment of XXXX to Wells Fargo Bank ( WFB ), {$100.00}, more than the required payment. ALL PAYMENTS through XX/XX/XXXX were made before being due on the first. ( wfb.pfd XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a mistake in my online billing date for XX/XX/XXXX and dated the pay date for XXXX XXXX. When that payment came out it made my account overdrawn. I quickly called my bank and Wells Fargo and had the payment reversed. ( Wfb.pfd XXXX & XXXX ). With this item being reversed, I thought everything was ok until I started getting calls from WFB say I was late on my payments. I called and talked to a couple of people that did not seem to want to help. Finally I had called earlier and had my bank on the phone and arranged a 3-way call to get this fixed. We were transferred 4 times and finally hung up on. I called back and told them I wanted to speak to a supervisor. I talked to XXXX XXXX and told him of the issue. I told him I had evidence that proved that the XX/XX/XXXX payment was made. ( wfb.pfdH-XXXX thru XXXX ). The next day I talked to him and he seemed to think this would be taken care of in a swift matter. The matter was turned over to XXXX XXXX XXXX who would open a case to fix this. In the mean time I receiving late afternoon phone calls and mail to collect a debt. Phone calls were from XXXX XXXX ( wfb.pfd. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ). I was receiving a lot of mail for debt collection, when I was not in debt for one day. ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX to XXXX, and XXXX ). Statements from WFB came showing that the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments were received. ( wfb.PDF XXXX & XXXX ) At this time WFB started playing this reversed items and Applied items making my account status very hard to keep up with. ( wfb.PDF XXXX ). At this time I am so upset that it is causing health concerns, not sleeping good and spending to much time on the phone. To a simple old man I could not make sense of the trouble I was going through, NEVER BEING LATE for any on payment. I still am concerned about my credit report although XXXX said they did not turn information to them, THERE IS NO TRUST WITH WFB. I also found out last Saturday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that the VA had been contacted ( wfb.PDF XXXX & XXXX ). Again why do you contact the VA when the loan is not overdue for 1 hour in the life of the load. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received another letter telling me I was late with threats. ( wfb, PDF XXXX & XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: Here 's another complaint about Wells Fargo placing unfair and deceptive holds on my deposits. I deposited another check for {$500.00} at the ATM and there was NO MENTION of a hold at all. Then the next day, WF places a hold on the check without informing me ... Again, to basically try and scam me on overdraft fees. Now here 's the kicker ... they send me a letter in the mail saying " if you were not informed of the hold at the time of deposit, we will waive overdraft fees if you contact us. '' So basically they are saying they will scam you for Overdraft fees and unless you happen to be proactive and call them, they will steal your money. THIS IS CLEARLY AN UNFAIR AND ABUSIVE PRACTICE. I am disgusted and the CFPB needs to sue WF over the abusive deposit holds. Why should I have to call to get fees reversed? What if I never received the letter and never even knew? WF needs to reverse these fees without consumer action being taken. Very disturbing behavior again from WF. Also, they refuse to tell me why they are even placing the check holds to begin with. Unacceptable.
