Complaint:
Since XX/XX/XXXX I have received a promotional offer of {$200.00} to open a new checking account with BMO Harris Bank.

Every quarter I brought it up to the personal bankers and Branch Manager and I have not had a resolution. This bait and switch advertising tactic to encourage people to open a new checking account should be illegal. I have not talked to them in almost 4 months because it 's a waste of my time to try to collect something that will never appear. The branch location is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX. XXXX. Customer Service says there are no notes on the account showing my request and I 've brought it up to them in 6 or 7 different instances.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MO
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I have XXXX issues with Wells Fargo which have caused a domino effect. First, I cancelled my online bill pay services but XXXX payments were still made despite such. When I spoke with Wells Fargo representatives I received conflicting information. One told me it only cancels one month at a time, and another told me scheduled payments would still pay out. Neither make sense to me. Secondly, I cancelled my overdraft protection ; specifically, I declined to have my checking account linked to my savings account, debit card, and credit card should I have insufficient funds to cover a transaction. Despite cancelling overdraft protection, when Wells Fargo processed those two bill payments I mentioned above it caused my account to be overdrawn and Wells Fargo charged me XXXX {$35.00} overdraft fees. When I asked a Wells Fargo representative why did those XXXX bill payments still get paid despite me cancelling my overdraft protection ( because I did not have sufficient funds to cover them ), she stated the bank can use its " discretion '' is assessing whether it will cover or reject any transactions, even if I have cancelled overdraft protection. As a result of these unfair banking practices, my account was overdrawn for an amount in excess of {$200.00}.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL
Product: Credit card
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
I was issued a credit card by Fifth Third Bank that I did not apply for. I had co-signed a checking account for my XXXX mother about five years ago because she had trouble writing after her XXXX. She passed away XX/XX/XXXX. I notified the bank and they closed her checking account, but told me I need to call a special department at Fifth Third to get her credit card closed. It took me about 8 phone calls to get in touch with the department, as it appears there was only one man working there. I had to send her death certificate, which I did. 
About a month later, I received a credit card bill with my name on it. I had not applied for a card. It had finance charges. Evidently, my mother 's account, after being closed for four months, had been hit with a charge from her insurance plan ( that had also been cancelled ). Instead of refusing the check, the bank decided to charge my erroneous credit card ( the one I did not apply for ). I called the bank, they apologized and told me if I brought in {$47.00}, they would reverse all overdraft fees. I had to drive to the bank and do that. A month later, I received a credit card bill with fees and interest. The bank has received at least XXXX phone calls from me as well as faxes, in person visits, and escalated supervisor calls because I started receiving statements for finance charges for an account I did n't open. I 've spoken now to XXXX different representatives who apologize profusely, say the card will not incur any more charges, and yet every month, it happens again. It is now XX/XX/XXXX. I received a statement on XX/XX/XXXX ( and numerous subsequent emails ) saying there are now {$21.00} in finance charges. I am so, so angry. I never applied for a card. I did receive a credit card back when the checking account was first opened, but I shredded it because I did n't want it. It has never had a charge from me on that account. I do n't know why the bank paid out on a check that hit their bank four months after my Mom died, then charged it to a credit card they had opened in my name. When I spoke today to a representative, they said that Fifth Third would never do that. Well, they did. For the fourth time, I 've been told that the account is closed and all fees reversed. They 've apologized over and over. I do n't believe them and I am out of my mind with frustration. How can they do this?

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: ID
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I paid the balance in full for my Walmart Rewards card with Capital One. I was attempting to rebuild credit and had been given money by family to pay off my debts and then I was using the credit cards to make purchases and then pay them off immediately or by the end of the month. Capital One decided to freeze my Walmart Rewards Card to verify that my recent payment and charges to this card were not fraudulent, and I sent in 60 days ( 2 months ) of bank statement from both checking accounts I was using to make payments to both of my Capital One credit cards. 

I mailed in physical copies ( XX/XX/XXXX ), as well as faxed ( XX/XX/XXXX ) in copies to Capital One 's Fraud Department of my bank statements. I had to hound them to get emails for links to upload directly to the Claims Department online that never worked. They never called me back despite being told multiple times they would. USPS said the envelope with these statements was delivered to Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX, and Capital One didn't upload the documents to my account and begin reviewing them until XX/XX/XXXX. I had called at least 1-3 times a weeek since the middle of XX/XX/XXXX checking on the status. When I called the week of XX/XX/XXXX, the agent I talked to said they approved my documents from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but had denied my bank statements from XXXX XXXX. 

I was working for XXXX at the time and XXXX uses XXXX XXXX XXXX, a service provided by XXXX XXXX  for instant payout of earnings to XXXX Drivers. The top of the bank Statement says " XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' in addition to my name, address, and full account number that matched what Capital One had records of me making payments from. I had written the claim number Capital One had given me, as well as wrote a note at the top of the statement to look at the bottom of the bank statement where I had used a yellow highlighter marker around the statement that says " THIS IS A STRIDE BANK ACCOUNT. '' Capital Once refuses to accept that this is credible proof that the account is mine, from XXXX XXXX, and that the account number, name, address, and Capital One claim number is all the same as the records they have. They refuse to unfreeze my account and are expecting me to start all over and send them new information. What they have is correct information and its the same information they will get again. Their negligence is screwing up my access to my credit.

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law.

Under the FCRA section 609 and 611, XXXX is required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, they have kept reporting the disputed account claiming that the information they present is accurate, in which I greatly disagree. Aim submitting this complaint to you today to request that they provide me copies of documents bearing signature to verify the status of the disputed accounts. If XXXX failed to comply with the condition and continuer the reporting of the disputed account, please understand I will seek legal action. I need the account corrected as soon possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Date XX/XX/20

Company: OPEN MORTGAGE LLC
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint:
After not qualifying for a VA loan due to debt-to-income ( which was odd ). Our lender ( XXXX at Open Mortgage ) asked the Underwriter ( XXXX XXXX ) if we could repackage as a USDA loan and the underwriter said to do so : '' Good Morning XXXXAs per my previous email yes you can go USDA - you will need to get usda docs and resubmit file with everything as USDA and I will re underwrite for you. Thanks. " To move forward with the house, XXXX repackaged us USDA - we received desktop approval. The seller requested an additional {$500.00} in earnest money ( in total {$1000.00} ). In addition to going with an USDA loan, I had to agree to give the seller the earnest money ( {$1000.00} ), even if the loan was not approved. 

After paying for the USDA appraisal ( {$450.00} ), the appraisal came back great. The UW approved our loan. Next, the file was submitted USDA. The USDA reviewer denied us, because my student loans were not fixed payments through the term of the XXXX yr mortgage loan. 

The problem I have is the UW did not know the stipulation effective XXXX 2014 regarding student loans : Student loans. Lenders must include the greater of XXXX percent of the outstandingloan balance or the verified fixed payment as reflected on the credit report. 
Exception : Monthly payment amounts listed on the credit report, which are less thanone percent of the outstanding balance may be used when evidence from the loanservicer is obtained indicating ; 1 ) the applicant is on a fixed repayment plan notsubject to change under the terms of the current agreement and XXXX ) and the monthlypayment amount due. Fixed payments have a monthly amount that is not subject tochange through the fixed repayment time frame. Income Based Repayment ( IBR ) plans, graduated plans, adjustable rates, interest only and deferred plans are examplesof repayment plans that are subject to change and do not qualify for the exception. 
No additional documentation is required if a credit report is obtained and the lendercan confirm the payment represented is a fixed payment as noted in this paragraph. 

The above stipulation applies to VA and USDA loans ; therefore, if we can not qualify VA due to not have fixed student loan payments, then WHY did the XXXX say to repackage me as USDA. We lost {$1400.00} due to her negligence. Even the USDA reviewer - XXXX XXXX ( Georgia XXXX XXXX XXXX at USDA, XXXX XXXX ) stated the UW - XXXX XXXX was grossly negligent on our file. She is required to know the stipulations to inform the lender what was wrong with the file.
