Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OR
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint:
Macy 's has changed their online system and as a result I have been unable to access my balance, account information, statements or make a payment online for months. I do not receive a paper statement and have had difficulty getting account and transaction information from telephone. I went into the store received a receipt print out of my balance on XXXX/XXXX/15. I received a slip showing a balance of {$220.00}. I paid that balance in full and made a purchase for {$120.00}. I called XXXX as instructed by the error message when I tried to get my online information, they were unable to assist me in getting online and the telephone rep was confused about my balance. He was unable to give me a balance that makes sense according to the store balance printed on the receipt and the payment I made. I have spent over XXXX minutes on the phone trying to get assistance without resolution and am not sure how I can resolve this at this point. It seems extremely unfair to not provide accurate account transaction and balance information and access to make payments.I typically pay in full and without the ability to know balance information I could have interest charges I would normally not have. They will not give discounts unless you use your card but wo n't provide account and balance information accurately.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
This is continuation of my Case number : XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I specifically was told my citi bank customer service account manager XXXX that my account had been closed. She also added to reopen the account my credit needed to be pulled again. I refused, and said no, I do not think that should happen as I did everything as a customer to resolve the issue 's and I have another credit card active with you so you do n't need to do that. She then recommended I write to the president to request my account be opened without pulling my credit. 

Today XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX, and she let me know my account was reopened and the bank did pull my credit. I was surprised to hear this, as I specifically told the agent the day before since the bank decided to close my account without notifying me, I did n't want to reopen it if they were to pull my credit and I will handle on my own and write to the president. It did n't matter, Citi bank then opened my citi card account and did n't care and still pulled my credit. 

CFPB, Is that the right way to handle customers? I have banked with them 4 year 's and have XXXX credit cards with them and pay on time. The returned payment was the reason they closed my account but it was ( XXXX ) transactions only because the checking account was no longer active, and I accidentally selected it in error but called immediately to resolve this and offset the negative balance by processing payment 's over the phone. 

I now have XXXX $ in returned fee 's and I requested those to be waived also due to this whole mess or opening and closing my account 's when they feel like it. Please help me, I feel helpless, and I have built my credit responsibility, and my score is now XXXX, I would not deserve the score to be affecte due to citi bank 's error.

State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
I was sent a bill for charges remaining after moving out of my apartment. I did not agree with the charges, so I sent the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) a certified letter requesting verification of the charges. They received the letter, but never responded. Instead, they transferred the alleged charges to Professional Debt Mediation , Inc. ( PDM ) in XXXX, FL. PDM contacted me and I immediately responded with a certified letter requesting the same debt verification that I asked of the original creditor. We corresponded on a few occasions ( all certified ) but the specific information that I requested to prove the charges was never provided. I was able to do some research on my own to verify that all of the charges were not valid, which is why I insisted they provide further verification. My last correspondence with PDM was on XXXX/XXXX/16 in which I requested information and enclosed a money order for the only amount that I could verify was due ( which was later returned to me by PDM ). I did not receive any further communication from PDM regarding collection activity on this account and no one from PDM made any further attempts to verify this account. On XXXX/XXXX/16 I received an alert that the full charges were added to my credit report as unpaid. I am filing this complaint ( against both XXXX XXXX and PDM ) because I did not receive verification of this debt. I know for a fact that all of the charges are not valid and as a consumer I have the right to dispute charges and they should be appropriately investigated and confirmed before taking collection actions that adversely affect my credit.

Company: Collection Service Center, Inc.
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint:
I received an automated call that was a looped recording from a blocked number. It did not identify the company calling, the reason for the call, or have any way to speak to a human being. It kept insisting the matter was important and that I call another number ( XXXX ). I tried the number several times before finally getting a human being, who still did not identify the company or the reason for the call. After attempts by this person to get personal information that I refused and back and forth arguments they finally identified themselves as C.S.C. ( Collection Service Center ) and that they were collecting a debt. They refused to inform me of the original creditor or the nature of the debt unless I provided personal information ( which I refused ). As I have no legitimate, outstanding debts at this time that are allowed to be collected upon this call strikes me as a phishing scam. Several aspects of this exchange are in violation of numerous sections of the Fair Debt Collection Act as well as the Telecommunications Consumer Protection Act. The only outstanding, unpaid debt I should still have has been disputed for more than 15 years now.

Complaint:
Years ago, I think XXXX, I saw on a credit report that and old credit card debt from XXXX was charged off. Did not check again until I was informed by XXXX XXXX this month XXXX that there was a Judgment Lien on my credit report. NCO Portfolio had obtained a default judgment against me without any notice to dispute. I had no knowledge of the lien for almost seven years. I believe this debt was charged off and the sold to NCO who then tried to collect on an expired debt. I looked up NCO on your sight and found out I am not alone, that thousands of consumers are being punished for fraudulent and illegal practices committed by NCO. Now I found out NCO sold the same time-barred account to XXXX XXXX and they are continuing to try and collect the same account that was charged off by the original creditor. Looking at Consent Order XXXX I think I am XXXX of the Eligible Consumers who should have the judgment vacated and removed from my credit report. Thanks in advance for any information or help your organization can provide. I did learn that now I will check my credit report at least once a year.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I am a customer of PHH Mortgage. My monthly mortgage payment is {$2200.00}. All of my payments to are up-to-date, and I have in fact overpaid them as I will demonstrate. In XXXX 2015, there was a small change in escrow ( {$96.00} ) for my payment which I did not notice, and I paid the historical monthly amount. I noted the error the next month, made the catch up payment for prior month 's escrow, paid the new monthly amount, and called PHH to report the mistake. I was assured in XX/XX/XXXX by PHH that all amounts would be applied pursuant to my intention. After six months, they have failed to correct the issue in spite of my repeated and consistent calls. I have spoken with XXXX, with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and a number of others at PHH. I also followed up in writing with XXXX and XXXX. Not only have they not corrected the error in over 6 months, I was incredibly disturbed to receive correspondence ( attached ) dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 indicating that I owed PHH {$11000.00} and that payment was due just three days later! This is reprehensible! On top of that, I received a communication dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 indicating ( for the first time ) that my escrow amount was changing effective XXXX 2015. Ironically, the amount went down, so I have actually been overpaying what I owe them from that date to now. Mortgage servicing is one of the most important functions in our American economy. Family financial security, credit ratings, and accessibility to affordable home financing are dependent on an efficient administration of mortgage debt. PHH is not up to the task.
