Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OK
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
I tried relentlessly to close my savings account with Citibank for 5 months. They were supposed to close the account and send my account balance via mailed check. I ended up having to hire an attorney to fight on my behalf to get my OWN money back from them. After 11 months of fighting for my money, my attorney was able to get my money from them. Now I'm stuck with {$300.00} in attorney fees because Citibank refuses to pay my attorney. I never should have had to hire an attorney in the first place to get my own money back, and then to have to pay {$300.00} out of the money I finally received is so immoral on Citibank 's end. Please someone help me hold Citibank accountable for basically stealing {$300.00} from me.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I ordered a water slide for my grandson from XXXX XXXX. I utilized PayPal to complete the transaction. PayPal automatically withdrawals the funds from my union bank account. After several months I had not received the item I began emailing the company they sent my a tracking number. Months later I received a package in the mail with one pair of female socks, ( definitely not what I ordered ). I made several attempts to contact the company via email with no response. I contacted PayPal and they advised I would need to contact my financial institutions since the funds had been withdrew from my personal account. So I contacted my bank and was provided with a number to contact consumer financial. I have made several attempts to resolve with the shipper, PayPal, and XXXX.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have tried to place a security freeze on all my credit reports due to vast amount of identity theft and wifi spoofing. THis includes 25 phones that were port forwarded by criminal activity within XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. The WiFi spoofing started XX/XX/XXXX and data was stolen from my employer which then turned into a significant data breach. The credit agencies indicate that they have put a freeze on my report but when I check with them directly no freeze was initiated. I then reported to the FBI ( with 3 phone calls ) and at their local office they did not receive any such complaint. I am concerned my identity is being used in a malicious attack as at XXXX there was a purchase of the DNA sample and my prescription list provided to an unknown party. I would like the 3 credit agencies to place an immediate freeze on my account as my credit card accounts are being used activity and I have access to the cards. THe cards are being made.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

Complaint:
on XXXX XXXX  i purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX  from XXXXXXXX XXXX  which was financed through credit acceptance for {$27000.00}. with a 72 moth payment plan of XXXX. But i did not know that the dealer who i bought the car from added extended warranty, gap insurance, and roadside assistance, which added almost XXXX in extra to the amount being financed plus interest. on XXXX XXXX i called credit acceptance to get those extra items removed. They removed those extra items from the original amount financed but said my monthly payments would still be the same. I asked how is that possible when almost XXXX in extra charges were taken from the original loan amount, I was told that i would just be paying the car off early. i explained to credit acceptance that the contract is for 72 months, how can that be changed. i was told that i would just be paying the car off early. I explained to credit acceptance that at this time i do not wish to pay the car off early and would like my monthly payments to be adjusted to what the contract says which is 72mnths of payments for the amount financed i told there is nothing that can be done. This is clearly a breach of the original contract by forcing me to pay the loan off early than the agreed upon time frame that the loan is to be paid back and i will be getting legal counsel with this matter it just doe not feel right to me

Complaint:
DUPLICATE XXXX ACCOUNT {$890.00}??? 

Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
Initiated several disputes to Experian.com over a month ago and noted I had already filed a Federal Identity Theft report FTC Report Number XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that put several accounts into dispute from back in Fall of XXXX thru early XXXX. Some accounts were removed, but some that got a lame reply back that their records show " the company that reported the information has certified to Experian that the information is accurate. '' < That doesn't mean anything! Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires WRITTEN VERIFIABLE PROOF of original signed documentation is held by the Credit Reporting Agency - which is impossible as the accounts in dispute were either fraudulent or had fraudulent charges placed onto them from the Identity Theft! Then they lowered my credit score by over 50 points because I'm trying to challenge these!!!!!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
This complaint concerns Bank Of America and it's excessively punitive and zealous application of overdraft charges to my checking account. 

Today is XX/XX/2019. 

This incident occurred just six days ago. I have an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. On or about XX/XX/2019, XXXX deleted {$29.00} from my account to pay for a coffee shipment they were supposed to ship to me the next week. For some reason that I can't account for, the very next day they turned around and credited my account for the exact same {$29.00}. I don't know why they did this. 

Anyway, since I now had {$29.00} more in my account than I had anticipated, I wrote a check to a friend for {$10.00}. This was on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX. The next day, Monday, was XX/XX/XXXX, which was XXXX XXXX. All the banks were closed on that day. 

On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX once again deleted {$29.00} from my account, leaving me with an overdraft of {$4.00}. Bank Of America charged me an overdraft charge of {$35.00} as soon as they possibly could.Then of course, since their overdraft charge left my account with even less money than it did before (!!! ), when another small charge of {$7.00} came along a day or two later, they decided to ding me yet again with another {$35.00}!!! This was {$70.00} in all!!! 

I called them up very quickly and told them I had a product return for {$47.00} coming in to my account in the next day or so, and would they please wait a day or two until the funds showed up in my account, but they refused to budge. 

Bank Of America has some extremely predatory practices of dinging their customers with overdraft charges as frequently and quickly as they possibly can. It is my understanding that banks all over this country are making trillions of dollars for themselves on overdraft charges on millions and millions of innocent Americans. Not millions or billions. Trillions. This ruthless and predatory practice has to stop.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have called XXXX numerous times. My XXXX loan was transferred to them due to another loan servicer closing. I had my loans in deferment when it was transferred. XXXX did not notify me that they started trying to collect on my deferred XXXX loans. I got a letter in the mail saying they were 90 days late and I was flabbergasted. This is predatory. They did not even tell me over the phone what the payment amount was, what they say was past due, or who authorized them to start repayment on a loan that was deferred. This is a problem with their transfer and mismanagement of my loan. Please update the accounts to NEVER late. Please update my payment history to PAANL status ( Paid as Agreed, Never Late ). This needs to be investigated. I thought Biden put protections in place to prevent this! Shame on XXXX. I disputed with the bureaus and XXXX did not even respond- they provided no proof. I feel so violated.
