Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I opened an account at Citizens Bank a national bank because they offered high interest rates on their savings account. The money transfered that day and my account was opened. I received an email dated XX/XX/XXXX that my account was opened and active ready to use. They posted in the email that their was {$2000.00} was in my savings account and {$1000.00} was in my checking account ready to use as I had requested. See attached document. A few days after it was deposited, I realized that it was not Citizens Access Bank with the desired interest rates so I told him I wanted to close my account and open my account with the correct bank to receive these rates. I instructed him to send my {$3000.00} back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. He agreed to this in the phone call. What he ended up doing was closing the account before transferring the money. I never received the funds in a check or into my XXXX account. I have spoken with to numerous managers at Citizens and they claimed XXXX should have received the money. When I contacted XXXX and spoke with XXXX the manager she said Citizens never transferred the funds back. Citizens bank has refused to do anything to retrieve my money and is denying I ever opened an account. Refer to the attached document ( email from Citizens when the account was opened ). Can you please assist me in getting my money back?

Complaint:
Thank you for responding to my complaint, I am disputing the findings from your Consumer Reporting Agency. Please note, 611 5 ( A ) which explains, Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information. ( A ) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( XXXX ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall delete that item of information from the consumer 's file or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation. 
Please advise who did your Consumer Reporting Agency speak to at the US Bankruptcy Court to verify, update, correct, or modify whether the bankruptcy listed on my credit report is accurate? I ask this question because my credit report explicitly states your company got the information from a third party ( XXXX XXXX ) and therefore it may not be accurate. Did XXXX XXXX or your Consumer Reporting Agency travel or speak to the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court and verify, modify, update, or correct the information in person? If so, please include the documents showing the bankruptcy is in fact accurate, updated, correct, and verified including the entire docket showing this action based upon the law. 
Please explain how your Consumer Reporting Agency intends to modify the information in the bankruptcy filing. Can your Consumer Reporting Agency modify the information in the PACER Database that Lexis Nexus used? Can your Consumer Reporting Agency modify the information in the State, Federal, or Public records related to the bankruptcy? Per the US Bankruptcy Court, they do not modify, verify, or update the information for Consumers or Consumer Reporting Agencies. Please advise and share in writing the workflow and documents in place to open the docket to update, modify, verify dispute, and correct information on my behalf with the US Bankruptcy Court as a Consumer Reporting Agency.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I took a loan from XXXX XXXX , XXXX . Sadly, I was not able to keep up with payments on that loan. I was current on the loan for XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I never made a payment again. I never communicated with the company or made any alternate payment arrangements. 

In XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX reported my account as current. I believe XXXX did this to extend the time period in which the account will appear on my credit report. Now, the account will continue on my record until XX/XX/XXXX. Also, I believe they incorrectly reported this to extend the statute of limitations on the collection of this debt. 

I disputed this information with them and with XXXX and equifax. XXXX confirmed their information to the bureaus. My credit reports have not been updated.

Complaint:
My loan payment are always due on the last day of the month and I do an external transfer from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 1. I made my external transfer for my XXXX payment but apprently it did not go thorugh. I called in and was told that my external transfer was kicked out because they were doing a system upgrade and that it shouldnt have effected my credit. The problem is that I initiated the external transfer and then was never notified that it didnt go through until 30 days later saying I miss a payment. Again, I was told that it shouldnt effect my credit which it did. This is something that is not in my control that a system upgrade stopped my payment from going through. I saw that i did in fact go on all XXXX credit bureaus so I called into speak with someone regarding this and she was very helpful but said something completely different than the previous gentelman. She explained that what was happening was that I was only allowed to transfer {$2000.00} in next day external transfers in a 30 day period and I was going over that so the system was kicking me out. This was never explained to me previously when I called in about the situation. I had no idea there were limits. This is something that should have been communicated to me previously so these incidents did not occur. Not only was I not told about this previously but I was told it happened because of a system upgrade that was out of my control. I also should have been notified immediately that my external transfers to my car payment did not go through and not until 30 days later. This is something that was completely out of my control and should not be reported on my credit which I have disputed several times. it. Not only that it shows that my payments were late in XXXX not XXXX and I have receipts of 2 payments in XXXX. 

I am attaching a copy of my account showing they canceled my transaction as well as the 2 payments I made

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services
State: NJ
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Repossession
Sub-issue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint and bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with Mercedes Benz Financial Services regarding the repossession of my vehicle. I believe that the creditor, Mercedes Benz, may not have complied with XXXX XXXX XXXX provisions regarding repossession, potentially resulting in the wrongful repossession of my vehicle. 

Under XXXX XXXX  law, certain procedures must be followed during a vehicle repossession to protect the rights of consumers. It has come to my attention that Mercedes Benz Financial Services may have failed to adhere to these procedures, specifically regarding the breach of peace provision outlined in New Jersey law. 

Breach of peace occurs when a repossession company engages in behavior that is likely to cause a disturbance or conflict during the repossession process. It is my belief that the repossession company, acting on behalf of Mercedes Benz Financial Services, may have breached the peace during the repossession of my vehicle. 

Additionally, I did not receive a Notice of Repossession and Right to Redeem from the creditor. Failure to provide this notice may constitute a violation of state laws. 

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the distress and mental health issues that have arisen as a result of this repossession. After discovering that my vehicle was missing, I immediately contacted the authorities and filed a police report, as I initially believed that my car had been stolen. This incident has caused significant stress and anxiety, affecting my mental well-being. 

Should it be determined that the repossession was indeed unlawful, in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), or breached the peace provision outlined in New Jersey law, I kindly request that appropriate action be taken to ensure that my rights as a consumer are protected and upheld. 

In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly, taking into consideration the breach of peace provision outlined in New Jersey law. Additionally, please consider the impact this incident has had on my mental health. If it is determined that the repossession was wrongful or in violation of the FDCPA, I hope to be rightfully compensated as per the provisions of the act. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this dispute and your assistance in resolving this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any additional information or documentation to further investigate this issue. 

Thank you for your help in addressing this issue. I look forward to a favorable resolution.
