Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
Citizens Bank credit card is not calculating interest correctly, or even according to their stated terms. After receiving my XXXX statement, on or about XX/XX/XXXX, I called them for an explanation of how they calculated interest, since I believed it to be incorrect. I was forwarded to a manager, who explained that payments get credited in the following order : 1. minimum payment 2. any fees 3. purchases made in prior billing cycle 4. existing balances in order of highest interest rate to lowest Furthermore, the manager even TOLD ME that to avoid any interest charge in the next statement, I must make a payment of at least {$480.00} something. I therefore made a payment of {$480.00}, which you can see on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. Nonetheless, they STILL charged me interest on that statement, contrary to the manager 's verbal assurance to the contrary. 

Since then, I have made sure to make a payment that covered ALL of the minimum payment + any fees + all purchases made in that billing cycle. Despite this, Citizens Bank keeps increasing the interest charged on each statement. For example, on my most recent XX/XX/XXXX statement, they charged {$27.00} on a XXXX purchase balance. Yet I only made XXXX in purchases the prior billing cycle, and made a payment of {$970.00} to cover those fully, along with the minimum payment of XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went into a branch office to catch up on my mortgage payments for the end of the year. I am over XXXX and my benefits come at the end of the month. At the mortgage branch, the teller informed me that they have to convert mortgage payments into cash before submitting a mortgage payment.The attempted payment did not go through because the account reportedly had been moved to foreclosure status. Then the teller informed me that since the payment was not accepted, my money had to be refunded in cash. The amount was {$5000.00}. I asked to speak with a manager due to the large amount of cash and was told that the payment could not be returned to my debit card and the transaction could not be cancelled. It was XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX! I was told I had to now contact the mortgage department to get a reinstatment quote, which I did after depositing the refunded cash back into my account. The following week, I wired the reinstatement amount of {$6100.00} to the mortgage company from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX. 

My complaint is that the mortgage company reported the debit as a cash advance and there was no report for the cash refund to balance out what happened that day. Everyone I contacted kept telling me that if I got the money back in cash and there should be no problem. However, no one has acknowledged that the cash money was mine in the first place and the payment was never processed at the branch. The debited transaction for the cash advance was refunded to me in cash on the spot and I received two receipts. When the debit showed up on my statement for the month, my bank would not acknowledge outside receipts that they said they could not verify.They conducted their own investigation only to determine the debit amount was valid at the time and that I did give permission for my card to be used for the payment. The mortgage company has repeatedly denied that any error was made and they contend that their teller account at the branch balanced out. I could not get anyone at the mortgage company to consider that my debited account was refunded in cash due to a cancelled payment at the time and that the debit was still kept on my statment as money they " gave '' me. Since their policy is to do a cash advance for all mortage payments, they neglect to acknowledge that they still reported the payment to my bank and that my account was still charged {$5000.00} that was paid again in the wire transfer. The mortgage company denies that the tranaction was mishandled.

Complaint:
You are unable to setup auto payments online with XXXX XXXX unless you are a banking customer if theres. I am not a banking customer, so I called in to request the forms to set up auto pay. The first time I called I was never sent the forms. The second time I called in the representative room my account number and set up 3 months worth of payments to come auto automatically on my due date until the autopay paperwork was processed. I believe the payments would have been for XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, and XX/XX/2023. She then took my bank account number, and set up the payments for those 3 months as that was the longest time period she could do so. 

I have called XXXX XXXX now 3 separate times and created 3 separate cases. The first 2 cases I was told that it was an error after they listened to the recorded phone call, and that they would remove the late payments from my credit report. I called again today as I had my credit report pulled and it is still showing the late payments on the report and I was given a new case number. Each time I have called I was told I would receive a phone call and mail correspondence showing the error had been fixed. I have yet to receive a signal phone call or any written correspondence. 

I am now under contract to purchase a new home, and the error in reporting is putting that in jeopardy. 

Please let me know if you need anything additionally to help correct this.

Complaint:
ATTN : XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX has taken adverse action against me, with forethought and malice, by furnishing inaccurate and knowingly false late payments to my consumer report without my lawful authority. This adverse action as defined under 12 CFR 1002.2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( i ), which has the same definition as 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( d ) ( 6 ), has negatively affected my ability to extend credit and operate in commerce. Congress makes it clear that causing a restraint of trade or conspiring to cause a restraint of trade, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1, is declared to be illegal to and carries both civil and criminal penalties. My right to privacy and my right to know where and how to direct the disclosure of my nonpublic information in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 6801 ( a ) of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Financial Protection Act, has been violated. 

I am aware that not excluding transactions between, I, the consumer, and the creditor is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). The consumer reporting agencies were not exercising their grave responsibility in respect to impartiality when furnishing this false and misleading information to my consumer report. Reasonable procedures were not taken to insure the accuracy of the information given by XXXX XXXX XXXX before furnishing it. This shows that the consumer reporting agencies have shown bias towards me because I never gave my lawful authority for any consumer reporting agency or XXXX XXXX XXXX to furnish any late payments to my consumer report. It is my belief that due to XXXX XXXX XXXX business relationship with the consumer reporting agencies, ( such as Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ), they parrot any information given to them as a means of coercing consumers to pay extra fees for debts that they allegedly owe.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX phh makes a incorrect insurance payment of {$3400.00} on a policy set to expire on XXXX 45 days in advance. 

Made a payment XX/XX/XXXX on new insurance XXXX. 

Provide updated tax numbers XX/XX/XXXX due to their incorrect numbers by over XXXX XXXX 

They state they will attempt to fix this but now my escrow is showing underfunded. I was contacted the last week of XXXX stating it was fixed. I get the cancelled insurance payment back and have to pay this back which is fine but Im charged {$15.00} fee in the process. This fee is erroneous as their error does not constitute a fee on my part. 


On XX/XX/XXXX they make an insurance payment for XXXX XXXX  for the county. The count bill is XXXX XXXX This is post them informing me they have corrected the error. 

They still have 2 more tax payments to make, city and school, which I expect to also be gross overpayments which will result is a higher mortgage like what happened in XXXX. 

My mortgage payment went from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX for all of XXXX and they did not provide me the 30 days to correct this issue. Now they have overpaid for a tax and unneeded insurance which has resulted in underfunding and fees on my side which are unethical. If this is happening to me, I suspect it is happening to many of holders.
