Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Harris & Harris debt collection ( phone XXXX ) has called me repeatedly for several months over a debt apparently owed by someone named XXXX XXXX or XXXX. I have never heard of this person, I have no idea what this could be related to, and this number has been used solely by me for nearly 26 years. I have spoken to Harris & Harris THREE TIMES. Each time the person on the line tells me about XXXX XXXX, I say I don't know who that is, they say alright, your name has been removed from the list - and - shortly after that the harrassing calls begin again. The last time I spoke to them the woman argued with me and claimed it was the first time they'd heard from me. She said she'd removed my name from the list. I asked that a supervisor be informed of what happened so the company would know that something was not working and innocent people were being harrassed, and she just kept repeating that my name had been removed, and would not give me a response to my request that a supervisor be informed, saying that I could report them to whoever I liked. Really this is ridiculous. I hope you can help hold these people accountable. Thank you.

Company: First Technology Federal Credit Union
State: OR
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I was assessed an overdraft fee by First Tech Federal Credit Union in the amount of {$33.00} at approximately XXXX. At that time my account available balance was {$540.00}. This shows on a screenshot I have of their online system. There was also a pending charge for {$740.00} at that time, but it was not completed until XX/XX/2022. Before the charge was deducted I both transferred money from my savings account and also received my normal paycheck taking the balance above {$3000.00}. 

I contacted the bank and told them that I was confused about the fee and how it could be assessed when my balance was above {$0.00} and nothing had been paid out that had taken my account below {$0.00}. I was told that " The fee was incurred due to the hold of {$740.00} from XXXX, although the purchase was much less, at the time the item was presented to your account for payment the available balance was {$85.00}. '' which is incorrect or their system is faulty, I was also informed that I am not eligible for a courtesy reversal. I don't feel this would be a " courtesy reversal '' situation as my account still had a balance, and I shouldn't have been assessed an overdraft fee in the first place. I am closing my account with them today.

Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I accepted the promotional offer on my Barclay Carnival MasterCard for an amount to be deposited into my bank account for purchases or balance transfers. There would be a processing fee of 81 dollars. My balance was zero as I hardly ever use this account. I requested {$2700.00} ( my credit limit is {$5200.00} ) which was deposited to my banking account on XX/XX/21. In the next several days I pulled up my Barclay Carnival MasterCard account on line and noticed my balance was XXXX. There had been two transactions made for {$2700.00} and two fees of {$81.00}. I immediately pulled up my banking account to see if they had deposited the money twice. They only deposited {$2700.00}. I called Barclay Carnival MasterCard and spoke to a representative and she said they would need to investigate the matter. She placed a request and told me those can take up to 48 hours. So I patiently waited 2 days and the charge was still there. I called for the second time and spoke with a representative who told me there was a glitch in their system and the money would be returned. I waited 7 days and nothing. I called for the third time and asked for a manager. She told me there was not one on site but I insisted. She put me on hold for a long time and the manager came on the phone and said she was handling it and it could take until the end of the billing cycle. So, one week later I began getting reports from my other credit cards and credit protection agency 's that I was over the limit on one of my cards. My credit score was being directly affected and I was due to close on a property in a week. I called 3 more times. One time they accidentally hung up on me and the last employee I talked to told me there no phone number to the department that was handling the glitch and that it could take up to 120 days to correct. He told me it would do me no good to call them everyday. This mistake is costing me $ 100/day and I need my card balance to be corrected. They should be able to reverse the charge on my card and correct their glitch without costing the consumer financial burden. I am suspicious of the vague comments I am receiving and the fact there is no one to talk to at Barclay Carnival MasterCard to assist me in answers. It has now been XXXX weeks since this glitch has happened and its now affecting my credit.

Complaint:
There were suspicious hard inquiries about my credit that I did not authorize. It happened XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. I was at work on those dates but I received a notification that there were changes on my credit report thats why I log in to my account. I saw that there were atleast 7 hard inquiries from different companies that I did not authorize. That is unlawful and that is illegal viewing of my finances. I never gave authority to any body to view my credit, especially without my knowledge. It was for car loan credit inquiries. I went to XXXX car dealership in XXXX and spoke to the manager. I told the manager that they run my credit without my permission and I really wan na complain about it. I told them that its a serious matter for me and I felt very threatened and furious of what happened. It could be identity theft and I was so sleepless for two nights because of that. I was told by the manager that somebody represented me on my behalf and told them that shes my nom. They ran my credit without my consent for several times without even double checking and asking for my ID. I really felt that these companies violated my privacy and rights. I am so afraid and XXXX off right now at the same time and I wan na take this in legal action.

Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint because TransUnion has ignored my request to provide me with the documents that their company has on file that was used to verify these accounts I disputed. I have been requesting verification of the following account that TransUnion continues to report on my credit file : Bankruptcy Case ID # XXXX. 
I directly called the third party telephone number that is listed on my report and spoke with an agent and she informed me that a security freeze was placed on my account as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached a copy of my security freeze confirmation that I received directly from XXXX showing the date of confirmation. She also told me that there is NO inquiry from TransUnion or mode of verification from XXXX to TransUnion showing on my third party credit file. And she also stated that XXXX DID NOT verify the verification that TransUnion shows as reported on XX/XX/XXXX. I also contacted the courthouse in XXXX NC and spoke with a court clerk. She stated they do not furnish information to credit bureaus by mail, electronically, or by any other means. I am waiting verification from the clerk of court with supporting documented per our conversation. 

Being that they have gone past the 30-day mark and can not verify these accounts, under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA-they are required to delete all information that can not be verified that I disputed. Please resolve this matter as soon as possible. 
I demand that this public record Bankruptcy # XXXX be removed due to lack of verification and inaccurate reporting of verification date! XXXX agents assured me that TransUnion so-called " verification '' on XXXX WAS NOT REPORTED BY THEM BECAUSE MY THIRD PARTY CONSUMBER FILE HAD A SECURITY FREEZE ON IT ON THAT DATE. 
I have repeatedly requested tangible documentation whether electronically or hard copies and TransUnion has yet to verify. 
Thank you

Complaint:
I have been a great customer with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage since 2002 and we had a family tragedy which cost us XXXX in expenses and counseling. Wells Fargo mistakenly pays my property taxes and then apologizes over and over but has taken my payment to {$820.00} a month for 8 years now!!! I pay my own taxes and they know it. During this tragedy we were not able to follow all the ridiculous notices that they did it again and subsequently was paying the same amount but they had raised the monthly payment to make up for their error and when my payments came in they were not applied to my monthly mortgage they were eaten up by fees and additional charges. This made it appear I was not paying and now they have foreclosed on my house with a lot of equity. I mean what evil people would do this during our nightmare. My wife, a XXXX of 22 years had to resign her job because of grief and we are struggling with kids in college etc. They offer to help but switch me all over and never respond to calls. We reported to another agency and suddenly they wanted to help but have been dragging their feet and continue to bombard us with foreclosure documents and filings. They always claim I did n't send something and wait days before responding to stall so they can steal our home. I need this to stop ... .it continues to make my wife even more sick I am supposedly working with a XXXX XXXX who 's answering machine always has the wrong date and never responds by email and by phone week later
