The manager got on the phone and lied Infront of me when she returned the phone the lady switched her storey and told me the account was closed in XXXX. I left and called the same number and was told that the account was still open. I requested my consumer report which showed four opened IRA accounts. But the bank tells me I have no accounts, when I call they tell me something about my uncle getting XXXX my brother XXXX and myself XXXX. I never elected that option. And so once I called with the four account numbers, I also gave a lot of info about my grandmother and within a week I got a letter saying I was dead.

I know that they a IRA accounts that I was suppose to inherited and was told about them. I believe my money has been and continues to be stolen from me and I do not know what to do about it. Also when I requested my consumer report the following month the information like my address or my date of birth on every account was different.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IN
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX 2017, my checking account was electronically debited for {$110.00} by Capital One. SInce I was not aware of having specifically done business with Capital One, I called ( several days later, but as soon as I noticed the charge on my statement ) my Financial Institution, XXXX XXXX XXXX, in order to ascertain the origin of the charge. My XXXX representative then placed ( and recorded ) a three-way call to the Customer Service phone number we found on the Capital One website. Initially, the call was answered by a Capital One representative in XXXX who was unable to trace the source of the charge. We ( the XXXX Rep and I ) were then transferred to a call center in XXXX XXXX ( I do not recall the Nation, but made note of the Continent ) where the Capital One representative was also unable to provide the answer to my question and was moreover unable to forward us to somebody who Could do so. At this point, I felt my only choice was to issue a " stop payment '' order to XXXX, a process for which there is normally a FEE. My XXXX  Rep was cooperative and helpful in taking this action. I signed and returned the paperwork on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX promptly executed my order. Within 48 hours of the " stop payment, '' action I was notified of my failure to pay a Legitimate Bill by the Menards Credit Card Division, the ACTUAL source of the bill, and that I could be subject to " late fees '' or other penalties. When I initially obtained my Menards Card, XXXX was the entity administering the account. When Menards subsequently changed their service provider to Capital One, I was duly and properly notified, but, being a mere mortal Human, I FORGOT. Because the " fault '' was mostly my own, I DO NOT complain of any illegal financial dealing. I complain of Capital One 's Inability or Unwillingness to answer what I considered a simple and straightforward question ( i.e., " what am I paying for here? '' ) to which a satisfactory answer would have PREVENTED my taking the " stop payment '' action which in turn subjected me to possible fees and/or penalties. For my part, I was Perfectly Willing to provide detailed information ( name, address, even, if necessary, Social Security number ) to locate " my account. ''

Complaint:
XX/XX/2018 IDNotify ( experian ) contacted me because of a breach of data asking if I wanted complimentary security protection. I agreed. In XXXX experian contacted me for security protection to register for what I thought was extending the complimentary program I already had. Nowhere did it say i was going to be charged for a membership ... this is for a service I already had that they are baiting and switching for a fee!!!! When contact they said it was non refundable. I spoke to a supervisor who was totally unsympathetic. This is confusing to the public. I demand that they cease and desist confusing customers they already are doing the sale service for by operating under the guise of complimentary.. one is apparently ID Notify and the other is Experian Express . The supervisors name is XXXX. Please contact me with what recourse I have with this unethical practice under the jurisdiction of fair credit reporting. This must stop!!!

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: DC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
This is a Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) issue. 

I filed my first and only ECF in XX/XX/XXXX. Since I've entered repayment, I have always been on an income-driven repayment plan. The repayment plans have always been on IBR, ICR, or REPAYE. With the exception of transitioning to what was then the new REPAYE plan, I have never been in any forbearance or deferment. However, FedLoan provides 16 ineligible PSLF payments with the indicator " You Do Not Have A Bill Due For This Payment Period ''. My loans were with then XXXX  ( no longer a servicer with XXXX ). These were definitely qualifying payments. 

My Direct Loan servicers were as follows : XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX FedLoan/PHEAA : XX/XX/XXXX through present FedLoan is missing so many months between XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX but has some records of my payment. That is incredibly strange that they retained and are only able to reconstruct part of my payment history with XXXX but not for other months. I need a full history in order for my PSLF to be processed. 

This effectively leaves me going well beyond the 10 years of service and payments, something that is contrary to the PSLF statute.

Complaint:
I was a  XXXX  customer for approximately 10 years. I was no longer under a contract, so I decided to change phone providers. I informed  XXXX  that I was stopping service. After trying to change providers, I was informed that the phone was locked by  XXXX . I called them again and asked why the phone was locked since I had paid cash for it. They instructed me on the procedure to unlock the phone. At no time was I told that I would have to pay a full month 's bill after cancelling service. I received a letter informing me that I did n't give a 30 day notice, so I would have to pay for the following month. I told them that I was not under contract, so that should not be an issue. They, then turned my case ove r to Southwest Credit. Th ey called me and informed me of the debt collection. I told them that I had discussed this with  XXXX  and since I was not under contract, I did not feel that I owed them anything. I never heard from any  one  else about this, so I thought it was resolved. No one ever informed me I could to file a dispute or a complaint. I was a  XXXX  employee and have  XXXX   XXXX  through the government. They sent me a notice that I had a bad report on   XXXX  . I called  XXXX  and they suggested that I go this route for some kind of resolution. I do have the money to pay this, but It is the principal of not being informed of my rights by either company.
