Complaint:
Sir/Madam : While on vacation in XXXX XXXX, XXXX last XXXX XXXX, 2017, I checked in to XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. After 3 days I was discharged, but to my shocked I was billed for {$62000.00} on my Chase Bank visa credit card. Chase Bank agreed to pay this amount. Chase Bank refused to listen to my appeal. My visa credit limit is for only {$15000.00} and Chase Bank went way way beyond the credit limit. <P/>The XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX is only for {$21000.00} and this hospital charged my credit card {$62000.00}, three times of what they would charge for an XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was treated not for XXXX XXXX XXXX, but for a simple XXXX XXXX. It would cost a couple of thousand dollars to give an XXXX XXXX. No question I was victimized like other American tourists that needed some medical treatment. <P/>My wife and I are both retirees and dependent on our SS pension for our daily existence. There is no way we can pay this humongous and unjust charges. It took us several years to save for our vacation to XXXX. The monthly interest plus principal payment on this huge amount would be around $ XXXX-XXXX monthly. This is way beyond our budget. We ca n't survived with this added amount to our budget. Please help to make Chase Bank to rectify this unjust charges. Before checking in to this hospital, I have a credit card balance of XXXX which leave me {$8000.00} I can spend. I 'm willing to pay the whole {$8000.00} to this hospital just so we can go with our life. <P/>We badly need your help. Chase Bank is a multi XXXX company and should be considerate to tightly budgeted customers like us. <P/>Sincerely, XXXX. XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
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:
I was charged for two overdraft fees, over the course of a week, by Citibank. I understand the reasoning for the first overdraft fee, but the second was unfair, and their customer service department is not helpful. Their treatment of me as a customer lead to me closing my checking and savings accounts. 

My first overdraft fee charge was correct - I did have a negative fund and Citi " helped '' pay for my purchase. Ironically, that purchase was an autopayment for my citibank credit card. Then, XXXX tried to make a payment for {$2.00}. The payment was declined, but citi still charged me an overdraft fee for an attempted payment. I found this to be really unfair, and contacted the company multiple times. Their customer service would say they're transferring me somewhere, to only never be helped after waiting for 40+ minutes or hung up on ; literally hung up on ; or just plain unhelpful / non-empathetic employees. I did close my checking and savings, but they didn't care at all. For such a large company, they think they can get away with treating their customers poorly. I've been banking with them since I was XXXX and wanted to use them for mortgage, but they lost a customer for life. I'd never recommend my extended family to use Citi Even attempting to get copies of my record was difficult. The customer service team went above and beyond to ensure I had a bad experience. I could not obtain full copies, and they even went as far to purposely unlink my account before I could download the records myself.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I'm XXXX XXXX. I got our tax refund back. I looked for a XXXX and it led me to Chime. With 0.5 % interest, it sounds intriguing. 

I opened a Chime account, transferred {$8400.00} ( stupid of me to transfer so much at once ) from our main Bank at XXXX. I got an email from Chime two days later saying my account had been suspended. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, they asked for Gov't ID, source of fund, explanation of the purpose of transfer. I replied immediately with all of those documents including the screenshot from my main banking app with XXXX stating clearly that the source of the fund is tax refund and the purpose of transfer which is to build savings, it even stated IRS Tax refund so it's super clear. 

On the XXXX XXXX, I got a response back asking for the the back of my Driver 's License and, AGAIN I got asked for the purpose and source of fund. This is when I started to worry as I have previously sufficiently provided all the necessary documents and seriously wondered what happened during the review/ investigation on Chime 's end. I followed up with Chime again. AGAIN, I was asked for the purpose of the transfer, a second government ID, and source of income, they specifically mentioned unemployment check. This is when I got really angry and worried. They have gone totally off rail, asking for new documents without any verification or receipts of what documents they have received from us and are asking irrelevant documents like unemployment benefits ( me and my husband are working and have NEVER received any unemployment ). 

I have been on the phone with them everyday since Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX for at least XXXX hours a day without any concrete answer on why my account was suspended. With bank 's compliance and transparency, they should be able to tell you what they have received and why they are suspending the account. None of that happened here. That's transparency and I have seen NONE of that. All they could was apologize and escalate it to the next level. And ending up asking me to send documents that I have already sent. 

My husband is halfway through XXXX XXXX and is trying to find similar cases to compare to this and we are gathering all the people whose account have been suspended by Chime without any explanation, who went through the same thing and we are looking into class lawsuit. We found out that there has been numerous complaints to the State Delaware where Chime is incorporated and the FDIC. During the search, we found out Chime had closed or suspended many people 's account without any explanation. I felt so wrong to put my household in this predicament. And now our almost $ XXXX is nowhere to be found. 

My objective is to get our money back safely as soon as possible. There needs to be more transparency on online banks like these. There has to be legislation that guides this.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I started to fix my credit. I noticed sometime in XX/XX/XXXX a derogatory remark was added to my credit report ; when I investigated who they are, it turns out it was for a account that was already paid 3 months prior to it being reported. I began the dispute process and to this day they have refused to remove it off my credit report. 

I began disputing this account with TransUnion LLC every month since XX/XX/XXXX but I have not received verification of any kind or acknowledgement of receipt of any dispute letters I have sent to them. They have completely ignored all of my requests. 

The originator is XXXX XXXX who services credit for XXXX XXXX. The account then was sold to XXXX and I made XXXX payments from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$77.00} with the last payment of {$77.00}, totaling {$930.00}.

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Approximately XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, I had left XXXX as a customer. I had contacted them and on a recorded line, their people agreed to a payment plan where I would pay $ XXXX- {$80.00} a month on the amount of my cancellation fee and the remainder owed. I proceeded to make the first payment that was agreed upon of {$50.00}. <P/>The following month, I went to make another payment of the agreed upon amount, I checked my mail and found they had sent me to collections via Diversified Consultants, for the amount of {$230.00}. Upon contacting XXXX to ask about what had occurred to nullify the agreement that was made ( and after being hung up on multiple times ), they had said that I would not have been sent to collections if I had paying what was owed ( even though I was told we had an agreement to a payment plan. ) Upon calling Diversified Consultants to try to remedy the debt, I offered 65 % the sum of that was owed. They refused to accept it. Upon asking if they were refusing to accept any payment on a recorded line, they said yes. <P/>XXXX then continued to send notices of the debt via other collection agencies and contacting my family to where I had to tell them to cease and desist contact to my family. I disputed the validity of all the notices of the debt when I received them, As well I was still receiving email statements from XXXX asking me to pay that amount to them. <P/>In XX/XX/XXXX, I had received another collections notice. Upon dispute of the collections notice, I received correspondence from XXXX about disputing the debt that was owed. Upon filling out and sending the information they requested via mail, I received no further notices about the debt. <P/>Approximately XX/XX/XXXX, I went to review my credit information, and found that Diversified Consultants had reported on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the sum of {$230.00} as being delinquent. <P/>Written proof available upon request. Due to account numbers on statements.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I feel that they were targeting me for loans since I was XXXX and graduating high school. I was getting great loans through servicer XXXX from the start. Interest rates were very reasonable and had suggested that I accept my subsidized and I subsidized loans first. Because the fafsa loans were most likely not going to owe any interest until after I graduate or I would only have to pay low interest rates until I graduate and if I could they suggested that I pay principal on the interest bearing loans first. Whereas, Sallie Mae advised me to take an entire public loan with no chance at I subsidized loans and their interest rates were more than twice the rates at XXXX. And thats with my father and his credit score of XXXX at nearly 10 % it was a year before my mother realized we owed well over {$450.00} in interest alone. 
I want to move that loan to XXXX ASAP

Complaint:
XXXX 2013 two men came to my door to demo a XXXX XXXX. I ended up getting financed through United Consumer Finance Services ( UCFS ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX. At that time the XXXX men did n't have all the items to the sweeper because they said they sold all of them and all they had was the demo one which was still new but they said they would bring me the rest the nest day. Which the items were the shampooer and hoses/attachments. So the next day I try calling and texting the seller with no response and kept trying everyday for about a week then he texted back and told me sorry that he was fired and I would have to call XXXX to get the items which I did but they ended up telling I had to pay for the all the items which really was upsetting. I ended telling them I did n't want it then since I should have got those items in the first place. After that I contacted UCFS to tell them I returned the sweeper but got a very rude lady who did n't care nor would listen to the problem. I just let it and did n't bother with it until XXXX  of this year I wanted to check my credit because I wanted to buy a house and this whole time UCFS has been reporting the info on all reports. I tried to Dispute it through the credit places but that did n't work so I made a complaint through BBB which went on a good month back and forth because this company is rude and wont listen and to top it off LIED! I got them the name and number to the guy that sold me the sweeper and text messages of me not getting the items. UCFS went on lying saying they called me several times and I told them i was completely satisfied which was not the case i tried telling the guy from UCFS that i never said and went on to tell him about the very rude lady that works for him and he just did not listen or work with me. Its not fair to pay for something that was returned first off nor is it fair to suffer credit wise because of XXXX companies! I just want this off my credit as it should have been when the item was returned. Plus they purposely flagged my credit for lates so my score dropped more because I disputed it and made a complaint. Is that even allowed? I just want to add that XXXX XXXX is the XXXX guy in the text message documents.
