Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint:
My Fiance and I moved out of a bedbug infested apartment complex in XX/XX/2016. The landlord attempted to keep our {$200.00} security deposit, and charge an additional {$310.00}, because the carpet was left in poor condition. We have actively been disputing this, citing Michigan guidelines for dealing with bedbugs in multi-unit housing which clearly indicate the carpet should be replaced in most cases, and requires a special bedbug vacuum in order to prevent spreading infestation to new places. We feel this is a totally unreasonable expectation for a landlord to place on their tenants. 

In addition to this, my fiance 's name has been misspelled in every piece of communication we have received from both XXXX ( the apartment complex ) and All State Credit Bureau ( The debt collection agency ). We realized this when we received an updated list of damages with a security deposit refund check that was refunded " under dispute. '' However my fiance 's name was misspelled on both the updated list and the check. When we pointed this out to XXXX, XXXX, a XXXX representative, responded by saying this, " I have attached a copy of the security deposit refund form with the clerical errors corrected. 

... 

Your account will be turned over to All State Credit Bureau for further collections on XX/XX/XXXX. They will be in contact with you after that point. '' So we recieved a new list of damages, with her name still spelled incorrectly, but differently this time, but no mention of a new check being issued. This seemed extremely suspicious to us, so we have not attempted to deposit the check and for all intents and purposes our security deposit is still being held. 

The reason for our complaint is this. We received a letter from All State Credit Bureau in mid-XX/XX/XXXX saying that we had 30 days to dispute the debt. We responded within 30 days on XX/XX/XXXX via certified mail which we were able to verify was signed for and delivered to their agency. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, we have not retrieved any form of debt verification from All State Credit Bureau. Yet on XX/XX/XXXX we received an email attempting to collect the debt that has supposedly been transferred to All State Credit Bureau. As outlined in our dispute letter, we are not sure why so many entities are still attempting to collect this debt, or who has a rightful claim to it. If, as XXXX said, the debt has been transferred to All State Credit Bureau, we must assume that the collection attempt we received was approved by their firm.

Complaint:
I XXXX contacted XXXX by certified letter in XX/XX/XXXX requesting debt validation including : Name of the original creditor, including account number. 
Original amount owed, including a complete payment history, starting with the original creditor. 
Finally, Documentation that indicates that I agreed to pay someone this sum of money. 
XXXX responded with a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX on company letterhead just stating that they are unable to determine the nature of my dispute and that they are closing the investigation. None of the information I requested was provided. I contacted XXXX as a final attempt by phone sometime around XXXX XXXX requesting once again for the following information to properly validate the debt : A complete payment history, starting with the original creditor. 
Copy of the contract that states I promise to pay this back from the original creditor. 
I was told by XXXX 's collector that I missed my validation period and they could therefore not provide me with the copy of the contract nor a complete payment history from when the account was with the original creditor. I then asked when did my validation period end. He said it ended 90 days after the account went into collections which he said was XX/XX/XXXX. I am confused by what he said. I am simply asking XXXX to provide me the information I requested to complete my validation.

State: NC
Product: Prepaid card
Sub-product: General purpose card
Issue: Managing, opening, or closing account

Complaint:
Netspend deactivated my card when I inadvertently went into overdraft because of an XXXX order that was billed in several different increments. They did not notify me at all that my card was deactivated, so after I made a deposit to put the balance over {$170.00} in the positive, I tried to use it at a gas station and it was declined. I check the ATM at the station and it said I had {$170.00} balance, but when I tried to withdraw money from the ATM it was declined. I tried again and it was declined. I logged onto the website and it said I had that much available, but it also charged me {$.00} for each of the XXXX times I checked my balance. At that time I received XXXX text messages at once from them stating my card had been deactivated and I needed to reactivate it online. I tried to do so, but it indicated that the card was " already activated. '' I called the customer service number and a very rude XXXX man, supposedly named " XXXX '' informed me he could NOT reactivate my card, he would have to send an email to the department who did that. I indicated I was XXXX miles away from home and needed to purchase gas to get home and the deactivated card was the only method I had of doing so. I told him I needed to talk to someone who could rectify the situation NOW and he offered for me to speak to his supervisor. After holding for more than XXXX minutes, my cellphone battery was dying, so I told " XXXX '' to have a supervisor call me on my daughter 's cellphone, and I gave him the number. I told him to also email the department who could fix the problem and I needed to know when it was fixed so I could actually drive home. This was at XXXX and I had XXXX of my children with me. It is now more than 12 hours later and I have not received any phone calls, text messages or emails regarding the status of my card. I called the customer service number again and held for more than 10 minutes without anyone coming to the phone to take my call. I am furious! I want access to MY money, which they are holding because I do n't have any way to get it out other than the card that is " deactivated ''. They send me texts for everything from deposits to withdrawals to advertisements. They could n't send me a text to let me know my card would not work, even though I had just deposited money onto it? This is poor business practice and when I called them it should have been corrected immediately.

Complaint:
I returned my leased XXXX XXXX XXXX before the end of my lease period, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, received a lease termination statement from the dealer, and a subsequent end of lease liability statement from Infiniti Financial Services showing {$0.00} net liability. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, Infiniti Financial Services sent me a new end of lease liability statement indicating that I owe them {$430.00} property taxes. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for the same {$430.00}. XXXX has also called and left messages on my home phone. I called Infiniti Financial Services on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and was told that the tax is for the period XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and that I owe this tax because the license plates were not turned in and " it is the customer 's responsibility to do so ''. The rep also indicated that someone, though she could n't tell me who, submitted a " lost plate '' affidavit to the state of Connecticut in XXXX of XXXX. I left the car at the dealer, with the plates attached, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I did not receive any instruction indicating that I was responsible for returning the plates, nor did I file the lost plate affidavit, since I had no idea they were lost. I am a senior XXXX XXXX and paid this {$430.00} amount on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX since I can not have this blot on my credit history, however this is ridiculous. I returned the car almost a year ago, paid everything I owed and left the car with the dealer in good faith. I am now being harrassed by a collection agency, not only for something I do n't owe, but a purported debt that was n't even billed to me until 3 days before it was turned over to this collection agency.

Issue: Fees

Complaint:
I was trying to use my Paypal Prepaid Debit Card for the very first time. I could not withdraw the cash even though I knew I had put money on the card. I checked balance several times since I was confused. 

I later found out that I was charged a fee to check balance, in fact, I was charged the SAME fee several times in a row! And an ATM Transaction Decline Fee two times. All this within the space of several minutes. 

Even if a fee is charged in such a situation, it is not right to charge the same one several times in the space of a few seconds/minutes!!

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX University did not provide any accommodations as a XXXX student and stated that there were no accommodations for online students because they were studying at the comfort of their own home. They stated that the only accommodations available were for on-campus students. After delegating with Mrs. XXXX XXXX, a XXXX specialist, she promised to send a certificate of XXXX document. She never sent it and when I questioned her, she admitted that she forgot to send the document. Because of the lack of competence and care for minority class students, I have a debt of over XXXX that XXXX has been harassing me over. The debt was caused by them after urging me to withdraw from my classes. They did not care that this would affect me negatively. After I conceded and withdrew from my courses, XXXX reported me to the Education Department for fraud. This has caused serious complications in continuing my education. I have been denied access to education by XXXX University, XXXX University, and was put through a very arduous process due to this false statement and accusation. Because of this label, the FSA and its employees have mistreated me and abused me verbally. In recent, I spoke to a woman who verbally spoke to me in a violent manner. I felt threatened by her demeanor. XXXX did not protect my rights as a student and a protective class. They did not implement any affirmative action on my behalf and subjected me to more harm than good. I not only have a large debt but the debt prevents me from getting any private loans like the Grad Plus Loans. I was recently denied and needed an endorser. Given this ordeal, I am requesting a fair resolution below.
