Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I visited the Florida Hospital on XX/XX/XXXX. After my visit, the hospital sent me an invoice statement showing that I owed a {$0.00} balance. 

Weeks following, a company called HRRG started calling and harassing me nearly every day. I told them that I do not know what debt they speak of that they claim I owed. The hospital says I do not owe them anything. 

They have continued to call me for the past two years, harassing my life every single day, although I have told them to stop calling me. They even made up an account number, making it seem like I have a legitimate debt when I do not. They created this account number out of thin air. 

I researched their company and found out they call and scam people. They are not a legitimate business. They steal people 's medical information. This claim has been made by countless people who have left reviews about their company, the same way I have been treated by them. They call people and claim that these people owe them money when they do not, and try to scare people into paying them money that does not belong to them. 

They changed their name from HRRG XXXX Healthcare XXXX Recovery Group XXXX to XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX around XXXX. They are still continuing to call and harass me every single day. 

A woman who called from their company even told me she's not going to stop calling me although I told her to stop calling and that I do not owe them money. 

This is taking a toll on my life, as they are calling my phone every single day from different phone numbers, sometimes even multiple times a day. 

Please look into this company. They are a fraud. They are not legitimate and they are going to continue to call and keep on scamming people if something is not done to stop them. They have already been able to change their name and identity as a business. Something needs to be done to stop these thieves from illegally calling and stealing people 's money! Someone needs to be held accountable.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My home insurance payment was supposed to be made by mortgage company, NewRez, from my escrow account. Payment was due on XX/XX/20. To date payment has not been received. The escrow department is impossible to get ahold of. When I finally did get a hold of someone they gave me the address they sent payment to. It was the wrong address. So now, they have sent my insurance payment to the wrong company and I have attempted to reach them multiple times to resolve this but I can not get a hold of anyone. My insurance payment is now 15 days overdue. Not sure how they sent my payment to the wrong company when I specifically sent them the bill with the correct address and payment amount on it!

Company: Ameritech Financial
State: MI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I signed up with service with Ameritech services in XXXX, 2017 so they could look into consolidating my loans under the Public Loan Service forgiveness program. I provided tax information, check stubs, income based repayment plan, public loan service documentation and other pertinent paperwork they said they needed to get me a fixed rate for my student loans. Ameritech said they would get all the information set up I would have to pay a fee to start the process and then additional money each month. I paid over {$600.00} for there services and they never processed the paperwork to XXXX   XXXX XXXX. They processed it to another company that indicated they do not handle Public Loan forgiveness and that I would have to get it set up through XXXX XXXX XXXX  on my own. I finally cancelled their service in XXXX, or XXXX 2017 after not receiving any information from loan providers that they received any documents by XXXX   XXXX XXXX. When I spoke with the person with Ameritech at that time they indicated they were not going refund me for there services as they felt they did there job. I spent months and months trying to get things set up racking up interest fees. Ameritech told me that they were going provide this paperwork to that provider and get me a set fee on my loans which was not true. That information was a lie and they scammed me. I eventually had to call XXXX XXXX XXXX and they indicated to me that I could have contacted them on my own and that many of these places like Ameritech scam people into paying money for services when it is something I could set up for myself. Ameritech never provided the services they committed to and at the end I am paying more monthly out of my pocket. I am upset with myself for trusting in this service providing personal information to them and never receiving any recourse or action for what they said they were going to do. I am asking to be reimbursed for all the fees I had to pay as well as the interest rates that were included for all the time I wasted when I could have set this service up on my own.

Company: COMMERCE BANK
State: KS
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
Commerce bank started charging customers a {$3.00} statement fee in XXXX of 2017. They did not seek authorization to do this, they simply put a note on a statement saying they were going to charge for this. They also said you could unsubscribe online, which you cant. I had no idea about this fee as they had disguised it in the billing ledger as a service fee. Upon reading through my statements, they call it a statement fee on the ledger on the paper statement and they do not list it in the itemized charges they show for fees and other services charged on the invoice. Attached you will find a screen shot showing these things. I contacted commerce and they basically said, " we told you on the XX/XX/2017 invoice we would charge you and so you should have unsubscribed then ''. They then proceeded to tell me I needed to come in to the bank to clear this up and turn off the statements. I was also told by XXXX XXXX, complaint handler at Commerce, that they couldn't possibly have asked customers online to opt in or out of this or even notify customers this was happening. I told her they could've prompted customers at login but the point of this move was to quiet take money from customers without them noticing. They are literally sneaking and mislabeling fees to generate revenue.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
I have had this credit card since XX/XX/2008and have never missed a payment. I asked to be signed up for the online banking account in XXXX and spoke with someone on the phone to set that up. At that time I updated my email address but did not intend to opt into " paperless billing '' as the way that I manage my accounts is via paper. 

I received an email the first week of XXXX telling me that my credit limit has been dropped from XXXX to XXXX due to non payment on my account. I was astounded as I always pay my bills. I called BoA and paid my account in full and told them I never received a notification in my email that there was a bill ( and I have searched my email account and I didn't ... wasn't even in spam ). I asked that my credit limit be restored because this was an oversight and I have an excellent payment history. They said they would not restore the credit limit. 

Today I discovered that my XXXX checking account was overdrawn because Bank of America took not only my minimum payment but also the full statement payment from my checking account ( although I had a XX/XX/XXXXBALANCE ). I called and asked what happened as I had NOT authorized this. They said I did authorize it online ( I am not that old, but it must have been something that they automatically opt me into vs. something I chose to opt into ). Now they say it will take up to five weeks for a refund. So BoA has about {$3000.00} of my money, they have reduced my revolving available credit by XXXX and are completely unwilling to do anything to expedite it or consider returning my credit limit to where it was. Not to mention ... if I HAD opted into the auto payment of my account in the past ... how could I possibly have had a late payment last month? None of this makes any sense. 

I want to close my account but I can't do that yet because they took payment in two sets and I have to request the refund of the second amount 8 days from now ( why 8? I have no idea ). And I have to be the one to request this ... they won't just automatically refund me money that is a credit AND I did not authorize they take. They also said they won't return my annual fee because I " used their benefits '' already ( I don't consider using their service a benefit ... anything but ) I just can't believe how badly this company treats its customers and gets away with it.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a charge {$10000.00} on my Barclays credit card. I made the purchases with XXXX with the understanding that if i did everything instructed of me, I was guaranteed to make at least my initial investment back totally {$76000.00}. Please see " Investment Commitment '' in attachments. Furthermore, the Investment Commitment certificate states if I have not made my money back, they will continue to work with me until I have achieved this. On XX/XX/XXXX, the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISION and UTAH DIVISION OF CONSUMER PROTECTION filed an injunction and a restraining order to cease and desist all business practices. 
Upon finding out of the business closure, I have reached out directly to the merchant resulting no answers nor resolutions. With no success reaching the merchant, I contacted Barclays ' customer service no less than 5 plus times. Each call had a holding time of at least 1 hours before speaking with anyone. The initial call was XX/XX/XXXX where I requested a dispute case to be opened. They asked for it to be a written reuqest and additional information supporting my situation. All information was submitted via mail and fax. I recieved a letter via postal mail dated XX/XX/XXXX that a dispute specialist will take over my case. Another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX just 3 days later was a denial to the resolution. How is a proper investigation completed in less than 3 days? Extremely disappointed, I asked for the case to be escalated. 
I followed up with another call on XX/XX/XXXX to check on my status and spoke with XXXX. She was not able to give me any updates on my status and could not offer any assistance. She placed me on a call back list for a supervisor in 5- 10 days but no supervisor/ manager have returned my call.
