Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: ND
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
This relates to complaint XXXX. After I filed the complaint, I got a letter from US Bank indicating that the account " was charged off due to delinquency on XX/XX/XXXX. '' The XXXX XXXX XXXX falsely represented in court pleadings that it was collecting on behalf of US Bank XXXX XXXX  when US Bank has already charged off the debt. 

The US Bank Letter went on to say that the " Platinum Visa Card account ... was ultimately included in the XX/XX/XXXX sale to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ). '' And admitted that " U.S. Bank no longer owns the rights to this account. '' Question : How can a bank claim a tax write-off one year, and then sell an asset that has already been written off the books the following tax year? That seems like fraudulent tax reporting, if not fraud itself. 

Is the sale of an unsecured debt legal AFTER the creditor ( in this case, U.S. Bank XXXX XXXX ) has ALREADY written off the debt for tax purposes? 

At any rate, XXXX XXXX of the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, ND ) falsely represented to the court in legal pleadings that she was collecting on behalf of U.S. Bank XXXX XXXX, when US Bank XXXX, according to its XX/XX/XXXX letter, has no involvement in this debt collection whatsoever. That seems like both fraud and attorney misconduct, as well as a false representation in legal pleadings by XXXX XXXX and the XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I left a message with the XXXX XXXX XXXX about that fact yesterday, no one called me back. And when I tried to call them this morning, they disconnected the call before I could even speak a word ( likely because they saw who it was on their Caller ID ). But the XXXX XXXX XXXX is committing fraud on the court and making false representations in pleadings. 

And, they filed a false response to the CFPB, which violates 18 U.S.C. 1001. I read the company response. They didn't ask me for the last four digits of my social security number ; they demanded the ENTIRE SSN, as well as my date of birth ( neither of which I am required to give under the law, especially to a debt collector on a fishing expedition ). They lied, so don't take their word for it. Rather than rely on their response, subpoena their tapes of telephone calls ; they state that ALL of their calls are being recorded.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint:
They have repeatedly called from phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX asking me to verify my last 4 of my SSN. I asked her to identify the company she is calling from and what is was regarding. She would not tell me. Finally she said she was calling me regarding a payday advance I took from  2008 that I never paid. Which is false. I asked her to send me something in writing so that I could properly verify the claim which she refused. The debt she said I owed never showed up on my credit report as an outstanding debt during the process of buying my first home. I told her to please stop calling and she then became belligerent saying they would be taking me to court as well as ruin my credit. This company then started calling my husband and other family members saying I was in legal trouble and started requesting my work phone number and wanted them to verify my SSN and DOB. This is a HUGE violation and they need to be stopped.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I made a payment on the Citi 's credit card payment page from my personal bank account. I copied and pasted the numbers on my computer so there is no way that the numbers were mistyped or off in any way. However, the payment failed to go through even though there were more than sufficient funds to cover the charge. When I tried calling Citi, I wasted an hour of my life on hold only for the call system to hang up on me. I then went to the chat box where the return check fee was reversed but the very kind representative informed me that they were not able to reverse the interest. Even though the interest was only charged due to Citi 's inability to collect a payment from the account that I provided, that I copied / pasted the numbers from and had more than sufficient funds to cover the transaction. This is just the latest in a string of failures from Citi bank. Of course, my time has no value to Citi Bank so they do not care about their failures that have cost me significant amounts of my time. I am looking at a start up XXXXXXXX XXXX  as they tend to actually care about their customers.

Complaint:
This account with XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting inaccurately on my credit report I have sent disputes to the credit bureau that have been flat out ignored in the months of XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. The account states that it has not been disputed which is absolutely untrue because it has been removed from XXXX and I have sent disputes in three times Ioan understand the mail not getting there once but not three times. The account is showing an inaccurate date of last payment it reflects XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax ) but according to the rep I spoke to XXXX the account was last paid on XX/XX/XXXX. The account also reflects a payment status of 90 days late but the account was paid off and made current. On XX/XX/XXXX I requested that XXXX XXXX send me information about this account directly but they have yet to respond to my request and my growing frustration has encouraged me to start filing complaints.

State: AZ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online

Complaint:
I had a {$100.00} prepaid gift card that shows the website XXXX It appears to be a US Bank National Association card. When I tried to use my first card it would not work so the company said they would issue a new card which they did. I then tried to use the replacement card in several places and was told that it would not work. I recently tried to use it but since it would not work I had to give the merchant my credit card instead. When I went to look at the gift card balance, it then told me that indeed the card worked and that {$97.00} was taken off of it. When I called the 800 number on the back of the gift card I was told that they could not give me any information since the card was registered under someone else. They sent me this card so I have no idea why it is registered under a different name? That being said, this company should be shut down. They issue these cards and you can never seem to use them. They also do not provide support when needed. I have had problems with this same company in the past. I wish the government would thoroughly investigate their fraudulent practices as they are " stealing '' lots of money since the cards are so hard to redeem.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AK
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
We applied for a mortgage with Wells Fargo. The property was in a XXXX XXXX community on land owned. The XXXX community has a combination of land owned and leased land. We were pre-approved for a mortgage and a closing date was set for a month later. Per request from Wells Fargo, we agreed to put down 25 % of the price. Wells Fargo demanded an appraisal which we paid {$500.00} for. The appraisal was reviewed by Wells Fargo and the value of the property was lowered {$5000.00}. The sellers agreed to lower the price accordingly. When the closing date was moved for the 3rd time, the sellers were considering to pull out of the sale. We called Wells Fargo notifying about this and were assured that they would refund the cost of the appraisal if the sellers pulled out or if we were denied the mortgage by no fault of our own. After the closing date was moved the 5th time, the sellers decided to retract the sale of the property. We notified Wells Fargo about this, requesting refund of the appraisal, but was told that the mortgage was denied by XXXX XXXX due to insufficient collateral - XXXX XXXX does not finance properties as the one we wanted to buy. We got denied the refund of the appraisal for that reason. We filed a complaint with Wells Fargo Consumer Care and Recovery Group, but was told again that they do not refund appraisals after denial of mortgage. Our opinion is, that they should have know this prior to pre-approving us and putting us through the process which lasted 3 months. We were also told by Wells Fargo representative that XXXX XXXX might not approve the mortgage as it was in a XXXX community consisting of manufactured homes, irregardless Wells Fargo should have known that XXXX XXXX and Wells Fargo does not do these type of mortgages. We were lead to believe that this type of mortgage was possible through Wells Fargo. We wasted three month of our time, lost the home of our dreams and {$500.00} due to the above.

Complaint:
This company harassed my neighbor for me to call them back. No idea who they are and when I tried to call and get information, they wanted my Social Security number. I asked what kind of company they are and they wouldnt even say that. Hung up and blocked numbers after that. Im guessing some type of harassing debt collector. They did not attempt to call me directly and told my neighbor that she is my contact person, which is false since I dont even know her number or last name. 

They called from 2 separate numbers and she blocked them on her phone.
