Complaint:
The owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX offered a 12 month membership for the cost of 6 months if paid in full. I paid the amount on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The owner closed the business on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I disputed half the amount with my credit card company since I was only able to use the gym for less than 6 months, being that the owner was in breech of contract of the 12 month deal. I feel I was deceptively charged since owner knew he was closing gym in 6 months time as evidenced by the realty company filing an eviction suit against him for non-payment of rent, and settling with him on XXXX XXXX, 2015. My membership was cancelled and I was then sent to collections one week after the gym closed for triple the amount I disputed with my credit card, which is still being investigated. The owner has done the same thing to many other members of the XXXX XXXX gym, and XXXX other gyms he has abruptly closed in the past year. I 've also received immature, nasty emails, texts and messages on social media from the owner. My credit card company recently called me and informed me that the owner rebutted my dispute by saying he was still open for business and I cancelled my membership. I have to now prove that he is indeed out of business to my credit card company. I have several letters proving that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is closed and has been since XXXX XXXX, 2015. Also, new memberships were sold to people after the settlement date with the realty company on XXXX XXXX, 2015, which is fraud since he knew he 'd be closing the gym on XXXX XXXX, 2015, permanently.

Complaint:
During application of home loan process, I was informed my credit scored has been hit by certain potential fraud actions someone took using my personal information. I do not recognize the hard hits that were made on my credit score and it appears somebody provided my details to those lenders/credit card companies. 
I want to remove these transactions that are hitting my credit score as these unauthorized hits are impacting my score and potential home loan rate. I have not been late on payments for credit cards bills and do not have any significant debt that could impact my score. I am in a permanent job as well and make good money. So, I request to take into consideration for removing these fraudulent activities that are impacting my credit score for no reason. Thanks so much.

Sub-issue: Contacted me after I asked not to

Complaint:
I recently purchased my Condo, and was living at XXXX XXXX. I gave my notice and informed them that I will be moving out and that the balance I would pay. I have emails where we came to a conclusion of amount and date that payment would be paid each month. I spoke with XXXX which is the manager at XXXX XXXX. She agreed verbally and through email. She stated that would be fine since I just purchased my Condo via VA Home Loan and was making sure my payments and anything that might go wrong would be taken care of. That is why I asked for payments. I know that I owe the debt but would need time to pay it off. XXXX inadvertently sent the file to Hunter and Warfield XXXX -- XXXX account number XXXX. I called them informed them it was a mistake, and that I had arrangements with XXXX XXXX to make monthly payments. They stated that XXXX just needed to call and have it rescinded. I called and spoke with XXXX, the Manager at XXXX and she informed me that Hunter and Warfield would n't release the file. I called Hunter and Warfield and explained to them that I refute this and is in dispute, please do not call me or contact me. My phone is a business phone and I can not receive calls. The lady said ok and hung up. I tried speaking with XXXX and she said there is nothing she can do. I informed her that the emails stated we had an arrangement and I am appalled how they could send it to collections. Hunter and Warfield has called my phone 2 times. I informed them that they are breaking the FDCPA regulations. I informed them that I will be filing a complaint against them. Afterwards when I called them back to confirm they are aware of me disputing this and filing a complaint the representative informed me that they cant speak with me and hung up on me. Since they state they have recorded lines and that they are following the FDCPA regulations, then they have broken not one, but 2 of the codes that protect me. I am very aware of my rights and they had no reason to contact me at work and demand payment when I informed them that I was disputing it.

However, Comenity bought out all my accounts and now I make my payments to Comenity. Now, Comenity is sabotaging my credit score and credit report.

However, I have made my payments on time and was building my credit. We are trying to purchase a home and now our dreams have been destroyed by this company.

Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC
State: AZ
Product: Money transfers
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Other transaction issues

Complaint:
I have initiated a MoneyGram " send money '' transaction ( where they take the money from my bank account and give the money to a recipient abroad ). They found a problem about the transaction, some recipient middle names order not matching the recipient ID, and told me that they can not release the money to the recipient because of this reason and advised me to cancel that transaction ad do another one. 
I went on MoneyGram website and cancelled that transaction on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Regardless, they still took the money from my bank account, {$520.00}. No information was available on the status of this cancelled transaction on their website until eventually they shown a cancellation date for that transaction of XXXX/XXXX/2015. When I asked them why the difference between my cancellation ( XXXX ) and their posted data ( XXXX ) they answered that they needed that time to " properly process '' the cancellation. Hilarious. Their web site states, when cancelling a transaction, that it should take between 3 and 10 business days to get the funds back in the bank account, so one would think that it should start counting 3-10 business days when they do the cancellation. No clue that, before that, there is an arbitrary number of days that MoneyGram takes to " properly process '' the cancellation request. Hilarious, ridiculous, frustrating. 
Since I did not see my money coming back to my account I called them repeatedly, last time on XXXX/XXXX/2015. They keep transfering me form one person to another or let wait on the phone indefinitely ( about XXXX persons during the last call, until I had no choice but hang up furiously ) and can not give me a clear answer. When I asked them to be transferred to a supervisor they state that they have no supervisor ( which may be an explanation why they do n't know what they are doing ). Ridiculously, eventually someone advises me to check with my bank. Then I ask, OK then please give me the date when you sent the money back to my bank but they can not give me any specific date, keeps telling me that it can take time for the cancellation to be processed. Last person that I talk with states that it can take up to 45 business days to complete the refund. This statement seems inaccurate since what I have seen on their web site says between 3 and 10 business days, so I ask the person to direct me to the page on their site / policy where I can see that information but they are not able to do that. 
Bottom line, there is more than one month since I am waiting to see my money come back to my account and there is no sign that it will happen or that anybody at MoneyGram is capable to troubleshoot and give any valid information.

Complaint:
Hi there, My complaint is regarding accessing the customer service team at XXXX XXXX Bank of America XXXX The company only allow its clients to reach the customer service team through a phone call. Many times, there are excessive wait times ( ~50+ minutes ). Frustratingly, even after waiting that long, calls can drop off and the client needs to start the entire call +waiting from the beginning. This really causes a lot of inconvenience for the consumers. 

Interestingly, there are some issues that can be easily resolved over emails, rather than forcing customers to go through this long waitings. But the company doesn't offer any such customer service email addresses to its clients. 

I was wondering if CFPB has any authority to force financial institutions to improve their customer service operation for consumers by reducing wait times and allowing alternative mediums to access service associates ( e.g., email ). 

Thank you for your kind consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I run a business that functions mostly on credit card transactional deposits. I opened XXXX accounts with TD bank for daily use of this cash. I continually get overdraft fees ( thousands of dollars ) as the card allows you to overdraft. They did not initially tell me about this feature. When I found out, I complained to management multiple times that I do n't want these fees and to turn off this feature as I have employees using the cards and they do n't always know the account balance. They refused to turn off this feature. I literally am getting hundreds of dollars a day in fees. I feel they are taking advantage of low income citizens. I do n't make a lot of money but I work hard for what I do make. I would like the accounts closed and the fees refunded.
