Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I have a checking account with Citi Bank ( the bank 's routing number is XXXX ). The last 4 digits of my checking account number is XXXX. On XX/XX/22, I logged into the online account to schedule an outbound ACH transfer of {$25000.00} for XX/XX/22. However, on the date when the scheduled ACH transfer was supposed to get going, I was first notified that the transfer attempt has failed, with a reference number XXXX. ( Evidence record can be provided upon request. ) However, despite that the transfer request failed, Citi Bank still withheld/locked the fund ( {$25000.00} ) instead of releasing the money back to my checking account for weeks. And, despite that the transfer failed, in the account transaction history it keeps showing as a pending transaction. What's even more ridiculous is that the " transaction date '' of the fake/erroneous pending transaction keeps moving every day. For example, on the date this issue occurred, the " pending '' transaction showed with a transaction date of XX/XX/22. The next day the fake transaction date changed to XX/XX/22. And so on. It was as if the transaction just got initiated on each day. And let me stress again, these are all in spite of the transfer request being called as " failed ''. I have tried to talk to the customer service department, the tech support and the dispute team for a humongous amount of times since XX/XX/22. Every one only knew to pass the buck and I got transferred among them in circles. Very incompetent employees and very incompetent banking system. I need to report this to the XXXX  now for a real resolution ASAP. At the meantime, because this has been equivalent to Citi Bank stealing money from me which belongs to me but not the bank, if this does not get resolved appropriately and properly right away, this has become a fraudulent banking practice to be reported to the police and/or brought to the court with my lawyer. Thank you.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC
State: WV
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I obtained a copy of my credit reports and discovered an account under Monterey Collections pertaining to a collection. I sent my first letter ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) disputing this account and also requesting validation. They responded but did not provide a valid signature. I sent another letter on ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) again requesting validation, however ; again they responded but without a valid signature. According to federal law, XXXX XXXX XXXX is required by federal law to place a " notice of dispute '' on my account within XXXX days of my dispute, which they did not. I also requested validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please note that I am requesting " validation '' ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay them. The company sent me some papers showing my name typed in, which is not a signature. Anyone can type a name, so please send me proof of a signature that shows validation. 

I have retained a copy of their signature and date of receipts, as well as time-stamped copies of my credit reports, showing that they have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) by not placing the disclosure within the required 30-day period. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and represents a very serious error in their reporting. Additionally, they have broken federal law by not placing the notice of dispute onto my credit reports within the time required by law. 

I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with them for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney Generals office, should they continue in their non-compliance of federal laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I further remind them that they may be liable for their willful non-compliance, as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ]  Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I went through a mortgage broker after I closed my house I was told Freedom Mortgage was to be my new lender. As part of the closing of the house, my flood insurance was prepaid for XXXX years, home insurance for XXXX year, and property taxes paid for the quarter. This information was enclosed from a letter, fax, and telephone from myself and my insurance provider. They misbilled my escrow for an entire year. I spent dozens of phone calls, emails, ect which is more of an incompetence and customer services issue. So after the required XXXX year period I asked to be removed from escrow and was denied. I just got a letter XXXX weeks before my payment is due that my loan payment increased by over XXXX XXXX to combat an increase in my flood insurance for the year. I immediately called to correct them and it was taken care of. XXXX weeks after my XXXX XXXX payment I was contacted by collections saying I had missed my payment. Of course I check my bank statement and there it is. I call again and start the process all over. My new payment is due, my credit is in ruins, and I have been bounced from deptartment to department without settlement. First off a XXXX XXXX increase in a mortgage payment is criminal and should have raised eyebrows, but now i dont know how to fix it because obviously no one in the company is helping me. I cant make my payments, i cant send more evidence of prepayment. My taxes are unchanged and my homeowners insurance increased by XXXX dollars for the year.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
TransWorld Systems Inc. keeps calling me from various numbers. They call almost every day, multiple times a day. Sometimes it is difficult to know it 's them because they use different phone numbers. They use phone numbers with local XXXX area code- where I am located. I asked them to stop calling on XX/XX/17 but the representative said, " I do n't know if we can do that because it 's an automated system. '' He was very demeaning and rude. I asked him multiple times what company he is from, he refused to say. After arguing with him, then pretending to get the person he was asking for, the representative finally disclosed what company he works for. 

I do not believe I have any reason a debt collector should be calling me!!! Why not send a letter in the mail if I have debt with them? Even so, they do n't leave a message on my voicemail stating who they are and a call back number. They are harassing me.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I reached out to XXXX XXXX concerning the two credit cards. Essentially, I set up a payment arrangement with them back in early 2020 because I experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was able to set up the arrangement and had the dates clearly outlined over a call. For one card, I made the payment as promised and for the other, I was told that the card was placed into collections. I've requested copies of the recording that would validate my story and XXXX XXXX has chosen to simply ignore the request alongside the collection agency. One account is now current but the late fees are bringing down my credit score. The other account is in collections and no one is willing to assist me. Per SEC 4021 of the CARES Act, these late fees should be updated on my credit report for all 3 agencies. This has yet to happen. Regarding the charged off account, I demand proof that I followed the appropriate parameters.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am very concerned. There is a late payment reported on my account on XX/XX/XXXX. My financial life has been ruined due to this situation. 

I was not actually late. There was a third-party company that was supposed to make the payment on my behalf. I realized that I was reported as late, and I decided to contact this company. In my mind, the payments were on time, as normal. I am being very affected due to their error, and I dont know what else to do. When I contacted them, they apologized and sent me a letter. I sent Nordstrom proof of bank error, but they disregarded it and didnt remove late.

I am requesting Nordstrom to correct the late payment. This was a situation that I could not control, I was not even aware of what was happening. Ive been with your company for 3 years and I want to keep on having a good relationship between us. 
I really hope you can deeply research this case and take a fair decision. 

Account information : NORDSTROM/TD BANK USA XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, highest balance {$9700.00}. 

Thank you.
