Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MN
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX my bank account from Huntington was taken out for withdrawal under miscellaneous for {$1500.00} and I call the bank and ask them what was that transaction? The bank told me they dont know and will investigate. I also went to their branch in XXXX because I felt whoever I talked to was not much of a help. The teller I talked to also said this was a very strange transaction and she never seen anything like this. She couldnt figure out what this miscellaneous transaction was and told me she will put in a dispute for me. Two weeks have gone by and I didnt hear anything from them so I gave them a call back to check on the status of my dispute. The customer service told me that I withdrew {$1500.00} in XXXX and it was their fault for taking money out 2 months later, they kept apologizing saying it shouldnt have never happened to me and shouldnt have taken that long for the transaction to appeared. I told them I didnt withdraw anything for that amount and asked for proof of transaction in a documentation. They said they will send a letter explaining to me about what happened. XXXX week went by and I waited but no letter from the bank so I decided to give them another call, they told me there is no documentation or letter to show what happened and kept apologizing again. Most withdraw transaction say money withdraw but the {$1500.00} they took out it said miscellaneous, I found that transaction to be very strange and this bank is just trying to cover up someones mistake by blaming me. And I XX/XX/XXXX they took {$700.00} from my sons checking account and add that amount to my checking because they said my name was also on his account. Even though my name is on his account, they shouldnt have taken money out of his account because he is a XXXX XXXX student and work only part time and now he have no money to spend. He worked very hard just to save up to {$700.00}. I called the bank to ask them why did they take the money from my son and they said to cover the negative account in my bank. I told them its not right for them to do that to me as a single mother and to my son because they are ruining my bills I have to pay. They apologize again and nothing was done. I then asked again if they have proof for my {$1500.00} withdraw and they told me they dont have any letter to show it and cant provide anything. I am very angry with this bank and the poor customer service they have, I feel like they arent trying to do anything to help me.

Complaint:
Hello, Im shocked, surprised, stressed out both physically and mentally to find this medical collection in my credit without proper notice or even allow me to contest it. Its not mine! - Don't waste my time by partially responding to this demand. I am really smart and demand all these documents or you will face an immediate lawsuit. Therefore, I am demanding under my consumer rights that you send me ALL the following documents to me. Because if not now, then you will be forced to produce them to my attorney in the discovery phase of the lawsuit. So, to save yourself potentially paying my legal fees ( Which are ridiculously expensive ), I will just go ahead and order them now, so I can turn it over to him. 
Please provide me with the following : A signed and Notarized copy of the HIPPA release that allows you to access this alleged medical record What the money you say I owe is for Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable Identify the original creditor Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service If your offices are able to provide real documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will allow at least 15-days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. 
Also, during this validation time, if any action is taken which could be considered harmful to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting agency that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate.
