Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: AZ
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint:
I bought furniture from the Conn 's in my area in XX/XX/XXXX. Everything with the furniture was perfect the problem is with the company 's customer service skills and lack of empathy on their cardholders. I had a baby on XX/XX/XXXX and that caused me to be out of work for a couple months. I had half my income coming in and my husband was n't working at the time. I had bills to pay and Conn 's was XXXX of them. I called all my other creditors and they were able to help me in regards to my situation. Conn 's on the other hand, was very rude, and did n't want to help in any way shape or form. I tried my best to pay the bill but unfortunately fell behind on payments for about four months. They would call my cell phone number so many times a day I had to block all the phone numbers they called me from. This went on for months, even after I would answer and ask them to stop calling and to see if we could work out a solution because it did n't want to stop paying them. I did n't want to ruin my credit or get my furniture taken away. Since the collections agents did n't want to help I just decided not to answer anymore and just call customer service. I called numerous times, spoke to managers but they were as rude as the customer services agents. The loan was 12 months no interest, which expired in XX/XX/XXXX. I was n't aware that if I had a missed payment I would get all the interest charged on the account. Well back to my four months of not being able to make payments, I got hit with so much interest that i ended up paying more than the furniture was worth when I got my income taxes back. I called the company to see if they were able to help me with some of those charges because i was ready to pay them in full if they were willing to work with me on that. After struggling with an insensitive customer service rep I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor said there was nothing she could do and that I had to pay the full balance. After arguing with her I decided to be the bigger person and just agree with her and pay the balance in full. I asked her to send me a letter of confirmation saying the balance was paid in full and to close my account. She sent me the letter and closed my account. I 've been receiving letters from the company still, after I asked my account to be closed, that I have some credit available to make purchases. It does n't make sense to me if I close an account i should n't have an open line of credit. I 've tried to call the company to stop sending me those things. They do n't answer their phones. there are no messages saying there are closed, it just rings for awhile then the call drops. This company is very unprofessional and rude. I do n't want anyone else to go through what I went through.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint:
We attempted to make payments to Sam 's Club XXXX and our electronic payments were not accepted by their bank without explanation. When I called them they could n't explain and declined to call our Credit Union. Then they charged us interest ( at outrageous rates ). I cancelled the card and they cancelled the points we had earned. We have a decades long history of paying all our credit cards in full and on time every month and have never experienced this problem with any other credit card. Our credit rating dropped from over XXXX to the low XXXX 's, I assume because of them. - XXXX XXXX

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: CT
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
Diversified Consultants claims I owe XXXX to XXXX XXXX, this is the second collection agency to attempt to collect on this debt. The previous agency whom I do not have the name of, referred the account back to XXXX XXXX, realizing the debt is not valid/fraud. A previous complaint was filed about this matter against that collection agency, Diversified Consultants seems to have bought the debt from them or was sent directly from XXXX. As I stated before in previous complaint, I have never had cell service with XXXX and the amount, XXXX is extremely high even for a family plan as I suspect it is. Neither collection agency has provided a detailed bill of amount owed, just a letter claiming I owe it. It appears a cousin with similar name, XXXX XXXX, open an account using my social. I use a middle initial in my name, XXXX XXXX XXXX. He no longer lives at my address and this is the second case of fraud I have encountered since he moved out. As stated before, this is an outrageously high amount and is very suspicious as I think additional bogus charged were added on by collection agencies for themselves, there is no detailed bill explaining the charges. Again, it is also fraud and will not pay it.

Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about my loan

Complaint:
I cosigned a loan for a family member back in XX/XX/2014, am XXXX and ca n't pay ( my income was noted on the original application. Said student dropped out of college, took the money and is now in hiding and is unreachable. Got original loan through XXXX ( predatory loan approval ) Now I am being harassed by auto-dialer through Sallie Mae, who the loan went to for the college attended. They call 3+ times per day, fill up my voicemail inbox with robot messages. I recently had to put an app on my cell phone so that when they call, it hangs up and does n't go to voicemail. I SORT OF got peace of mind back, but the app makes a call log so I still have proof they are still calling, even on Saturdays and Sundays! I feel they have no right to do this to me. They have also told me there are " other accounts '' open in my name ( which I found out they lied to me ) and also have been threatening to take things from me ( I have no car or house so not worried about that ), threatening me with jail time, and saying they will take me to court every 6 months to prove my XXXX/income exemptions. They are also letting me know that I will go into charge off at the end of the month. They REFUSE to let me off the phone until EVERY PENNY of exempt income is accounted for, even food stamps! I tried to let them know I was taken advantage of at every step, and that since they ca n't get a hold of the student, they come after me. Student is refusing to take responsibility and at least try to pay {$10.00} a month to show good faith, but is refusing any responsibility for the lies of being able to pay this all back and I have nothing to worry about. THE WORST HAPPENED that was promised not to happen.

TransUnion did not address my situation. None of the accounts have been verified nor validated. I have reached out to all of the creditors for them to send me a copy of the credit application with my signature on it stating that I applied for these cards and they could not produce the paperwork. In XX/XX/2011 i was a victim of identity theft due to loosing my personal information some time ago. I have a number of accounts that I have asked to be verified as well as the method of verification under FCRA Section 611 and none of the accounts have been verified. I have also contacted the creditors to send me a CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH MY SIGNATURE ON IT STATING I AGREED TO PAY FOR ANY DEBT THAT I INCURRED AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTHING. E-Oscar is not a form of a verification method. No third party information is correct especially with NO SIGNED CONTRACT. Also there is a bankruptcy that has not been verified this I know for a fact also because the court house do not verify on the phone nor do the courts report bankruptcies to third party companies. These accounts need to be removed immediately due to none verification/validation.

Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint:
In XXXX I financed my house. The payment we agreed on in contract is {$1000.00} and {$20.00} extra towards principle as my mortgage monthly payment for 30 years fixed. The total loan amount is $ XXXX and 4 % APR. However in the last few months my mortgage monthly payment went up to {$1200.00} including the {$20.00} towards principal. So my mortgage payments went up about {$120.00}. 
I called my lender, PACIFIC UNION FINANCIAL, they said it 's because the property taxes went up in XX/XX/XXXX, which is right after I moved in to the house. However the increase in payment and the letter I received for the increase started around XX/XX/XXXX. 
My concern is that I agreed on a payment that I 'm I can afford and comfortable with. However I ended up paying more which is affecting me in a negative way and I am afraid I will fall behind soon.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: DC
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I was cheated by BB & T and the XXXX could not handle the case and I am asking your help. I had a previous case ( XXXX ) opened and was asked to open another case with updated information. 
My first savings account was from XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank opened in 1996. The bank was taken over by BB & T. I decided to let go of my high pay job and went to XXXX. I wanted to close my savings account and I had plenty of Money in the checking account. The teller at a XXXX Branch told me not to close the savings account because if I had sufficient fund in the checking account there will not be any fees. I did not have that in writing, because I was banking with BB & T for many years. After XXXX months I found out that there is a monthly service charge of {$7.00} on a dormant account. I questioned the charges and they refuse to refund the money. When I went to close the account, they asked me to bring lots of ID to reactivate the account in person. Later I got a mail notice saying my account is active and please call to deactivate the account. I asked the manager saying if I was dead, would the money be depleted through service charges without letting my relatives know about the account and she said yes. She could not find any means to refund the money. BBT did not mail me nor have sent me notification regarding monthly statements. I contacted XXXX, and their complain office for BB & T is in XXXX, the same office of the BB & T head quarters. They did not intervene on my case, but acted as a medium for communication. When I tried to contact XXXX by writing I did not get any response. So please help. I have all documents and proofs. BB & T only refunded XXXX of the service charges and refused to refund the other half. 
Few things : If a customer dies, there is no written notice to the client or relatives regarding the balance in the bank. 
Second, The meaning of " BANK '' for savings is no longer applicable in BB & T because their business practices does not allow written notification regarding dormant accounts. 
Third the term " dormant '' is unfairly one way. I can not as an account holder withdraw the money without ID, but the bank can enjoy deducting money till it is empty. When I went to activate it. they need all the ID and they wanted me in person. 
Please help. 

Attached are BBT 's response for the previous case. They have attached the statements, but it was not sent electronically nor have there any alerts regarding monthly statements sent to me. BBT does not want to take responsibility for their errors but refuses to refund charges from my hard earned savings account. 
BBT also responds that Bank has the power to change anything without notice.
