Consumer complaint received 2017-12-21
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
I received several prepaid US Bank XXXX cards ( {$25.00} ) as wedding gifts ( inXX/XX/XXXX ). We saved these cards and used them as expenses came up.

This week (XX/XX/XXXX ), we went to use this card and found that the balance had nearly been depleted by inactivity charges applied to the card ( $ XXXX/month after 12 months ). While these charges are permitted by federal law, the card states that the deductions will not be made in states that prohibit the fees. California is one of these states - though certain exceptions can be made.

According to dca.ca.gov, the rules governing gift cards and prepaid cards are as follows : " A gift certificate or gift card can not contain a service fee, including a fee for dormancy ( non-use ).

However, there is an exception from this general rule for a gift card where : -- The value remaining on the gift card is {$5.00} or less each time the fee is assessed ; and -- The dormancy fee is {$1.00} per month or less ; and -- The card has been inactive for 24 consecutive months ( for example, no purchases, " reloading, '' or balance inquiries ) ; and -- The holder may reload or add value to the card ; and -- The card has printed on it a statement in at least 10-point type stating the amount and frequency of the fee, that the fee is triggered by inactivity, and at what point the fee will be charged. This statement may be on the front or back of the card, but must be visible to the purchaser prior to purchase. '' None of the criteria listed was met by XXXX, US Bank, or whichever entity issues these fees on their behalf.

I requested the fees be refunded and I was told they were not obligated to return the funds. I persisted and they agreed to submit a refund request, but that a refund was still " not guaranteed. '' They first said it would take 24 hours to post, then 48, and now they are saying 72 hours. I fear that this will continue until I give up.

I am not the only one to have been the victim of these illegal fees and charges. Until these companies are held accountable they will continue victimizing unknowing customers.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed 2 withdrawals from my checking that I did not initiate. After speaking to bank I was told they would order new card and send paperwork for refund. A week later I received new card and tried to activate it, the card would not work. I was told after several hours on hold that they now needed my license. So card and tax docs. I faxed  as requested. It was now XXXX and still no access to my funds kept being told faxes were to light to read. This time I tried from my phone it worked on XX/XX/XXXX card was activated then on XX/XX/XXXX after purchasing XXXX dollars worth of groceries my card was declined police were called I am a XXXX man, I was put in handcuffs until my fiance paid the bill immediately called bank was told they now needed proof of residency due to my address being different as to my physical address, I did change w dmv online due to pandemic. I faxed proof of address change after several hours on hold my card was reactivated and told my  account was notated as such. That brings us to XX/XX/XXXX while leaving a restaurant after trying to pay my card was declined, police were called again was treated like a criminal. My fiance called bank was told that they did not believe me as to documents and they were taking 10 more bus6days to recheck faxed documents. I believe they are racially profiling me. And the 2 withdrawals were not fraud but they were bank error. This has caused severe consequences including police pointing guns at me for not being able to pay. I need help with us bank.

Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: CO
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/2017 I walked into Conns and gave them a payoff check for our merchandise. The check exceeded the amount due because Conns did not report the accurate amounts to my lender for mortguage refi. They owe me around 4600 and  advised me they would send this to the corporate office and in 10 business days they would send me the refund. I called 2 days later to the corporate office and it was confirmed that the money would be received in 10 business days. This last Monday I reached out verbally as was advised it was going to take 30 days and they had no clue where my money was or what the process entailed and then I sent a complaint through their automated system where it took 5 days for them to get back to me and I was advised that their accounts payable team has n't heard anything. No one can seem to locate the money or overpayment and yet they have cashed the check and it has cleared. It is unfair that not only are they sitting on the refund gaining interest but refusing to communicate internally and advise me of where they are in the process. I believe I should be given the correct time frame to process as well as where they are in the process.

Complaint:
Accepted a loan from Southern Auto Finance Co in XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I noticed discrepancies with my balance when I began to double/triple my minimum paymentXX/XX/XXXX the company admitted the mistake and reversed my payments and applied them to principal as intendedXX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX no issues noticed, will have to go back over my records to re-verifyXX/XX/XXXX payment for double the minimum is made and is split by the company and applied going forwardXX/XX/XXXX a payment for triple the minimum is made and is again broken up and applied to future monthsThey were contacted today XX/XX/XXXX because I was going to make my final payment and close out the loan but noticed only XXXX were applied to my principal in XX/XX/XXXX (my statements are not available online so I will have to wait on them to respond to my request for an amortization table)I believe they are undertaking this practice to extend the length of the loan and squeeze more interest payment from consumers. My payment history and pattern is directly opposed to their profit motive because I will be finished with my loan almost 4yrs early. I would like my payments applied to principal and interest on the timeline I dictate not what is most convenient and profitable for them. I believe I am being penalized for paying off my loan early.
