Complaint:
FCO claims I owe a debt from an apartment community I had reached an agreement with to move with no charges. Without my knowledge the apartment company filed eviction after I had moved per our agreement. I received calls 3 years ago from a XXXX MD number but never a voice mail. I received no written correspondence either. In XX/XX/XXXX I was turned down for an apartment and learned about FCO on my credit report. I sent a certified return receipt letter on XX/XX/XXXX requesting they validate the debt and I was disputing the debt. From XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX I received twice daily phone calls from FCO. I was not able to answer and they did not leave a voicemail. After receiving no debt validation I sent a follow up letter in XX/XX/XXXX. Once again I began to receive phone calls from FCO immediately after they received my letter. I did not answer the phone as I had sent letters requesting debt validation. I received a word document with charges listed all in XX/XX/XXXX. I finally called them and when I questioned the validity they then sent me the same document but had illegally placed a company logo on the top. This is not the company I rented the apartment. I was told that XXXX the Compliance Officer did not speak to people on the phone also the one time I called. I was asked if I had an attorney and I should get one if I did n't. FCO continually refuses to verify this debt and responded only with this word document. I also forwarded via email to XXXX her communications with another person who she removed the account and cleared the credit report since she could not verify the debt. FCO has recently been sued by the XXXX for these exact illegal practices. XXXX has also been XXXX recently which goes to character. This company uses illegal practices including cutting and pasting a company logo ( the new owner of the apartment complex ) on a word document and mailing it to me. This is mail fraud!! Creating a document, presenting it as genuine?? I just recently sent yet another letter to FCO requesting again that they verify the debt. I do not owe this debt. Please help. I will agree to allow CFPB to publish this so that it may help others about dealings with FCO.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
My account went into the negative the day following XX/XX/XXXX following XXXX XXXX XXXX. US Bank sent me an alert at XXXX XXXX  that my account was at - {$9.00}. Upon seeing the alert I transferred {$110.00} from my savings account into checking. The following day four overdraft fees from the weekend posted bringing my account back into the negative. Having assumed these fees would not post I paid my gas bill, and got lunch on XX/XX/XXXX which incurred two more overdraft fees. I believed it was a processing error since I had the funds to cover my purchases, and that it would be fixed. 

When it was not fixed by Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I called customer service and attempted to get the fees reversed. I was informed that my transfer from savings did not post until end of business, unfortunately I do not have any receipt of when the transfer was made. I had to call three times, as twice my call was dropped when I tried to speak with management. 

I'm extremely disappointed in the complete lack of service or flexibility. I would like to close my account but browsing complaints here, am afraid I will be charged fees for it.

Complaint:
WestLake Portfolio Management has been calling from multiple numbers since Saturday XX/XX/XXXX! I have requested debt validation from this company and have not heard anything back! They send emails at anytime of the night! They want payment for a debt that I did agree to with them! I signed a contact with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they are currently in bankruptcy! I do not have a problem paying my debt and I certainly do not want a free car! I paid on the car for over a year and never missed a payment and they are so that that nothing has changed with my contract and that everything is the same! However they are not honoring warranties or repairs as stated in the original contract! They do not have titles and they are calling and demanding payments or telling people that are going to repo! They were sued in 2015 for these exact practices and continue to use these same tactics. They also state that previous payments are not considered so basically starting all over.

Complaint:
There is a business credit card with XXXX ( it was a XXXX, then XXXX converted it to a XXXX despite the company 's objections ). Several times a few years ago, XXXX confirmed via its Secure Message Center that I am not personally liable for this account. Despite that, they are reporting negative information about that business account on my personal credit report. I've told XXXX about this, but they will not have this information removed from my account. They should have a record of the messages ( I think they were from 2015 ) in their file, so there is no reason why they should make these mistakes. It's dropped my credit score from well over 800 to being in the 600 's.

Complaint:
I contacted Veterans United Home Loans, a trade name of XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, ( MO License # XXXX ), while rate shopping for a VA loan on XX/XX/XXXX. After learning of their products, I decided I did not want to utilize their services. I had not provided them with consent to run a hard credit inquiry at the time. 

On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I learned that Veterans United XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ran a hard inquiry on my credit history without my permission. After calling XXXX XXXX ( NMLS XXXX ), he was confused as to how this was done. He told me that they received a completed application with social and permission to run my credit history from their internet portal and suggested I contact technical support. 

I am filing this complaint proactively as I do not believe this to be a technical support issue but actual fraud on Veterans United and Mortgage Research Center LLC 's part.

Complaint:
I have a positive balance on my credit card # XXXX. In the middle of XXXX I have called the company to have it refunded in the form of the check however when I called back on XX/XX/23 to inquire why the check has not been received I was informed that the check was never issued and the {$1000.00} positive balance is still there. 
When I requested to speak with the supervisor I got an employee named XXXX who informed me that " I am sorry that I feel the bank didn't fulfill its responsibility toward me as their customer. '' Since the issue is not my feelings but a complete breach of contract on behalf of the bank that refuses to refund my own money which belongs to me I requested to speak to a supervisor with a position of authority to address the issue. I was informed that " nobody is available '' and someone will call me at the later time. Well, nobody did. 
Here is the issue : beyond just a complete arrogance and lack of responsibility to provide any kind of customer service, the US Bank employees use talking points without understanding what they actually mean that wind up offending customers. They also provide a service in bad faith as they have no authority to address issues with the US bank holding my money against my will and instruction.
