Complaint:
I signed up for an account with a XXXX bonus. I have not recived it. Now they are saying I had prior accounts but they are with my minor kids. Which I was told I still qulified. Then they said I was negative which I was for a fee caused by the bank. An annual fee I was unaware I had. So they said this was why I was I had not received bonus. I feel like this was misleading and the bank is trying to find any reason not to pay.

Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I received a voice message this morning on my home phone, XXXX, from ProCollect, Inc., XXXX, TX, a debt collection agency. The caller requested that I return their call at XXXX. I have not and will not do so. 

Alleged debt of {$120.00}, as noted in a letter from ProCollect on XXXX XXXX XXXX, is for repairs to purported damages to an apartment I shared with XXXX other occupants. I responded to ProCollect by letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX that that I disputed the charges claimed by XXXX, the lessor. In my letter, I stated that some of the purported damages were noted as pre-existing on my move-in report ( which XXXX XXXX has failed to provide ), and I disputed the existence of others. I requested a move-in joint walk-through from XXXX when I occupied the premises on XXXX XXXX XXXX, and a move-out walk-through was also requested on XXXX XXXX XXXX. Both requests were denied. My XXXX roommate who was still in the apartment on XXXX XXXX also requested a move-out inspection on that date, and was also denied. Since there was no documented joint agreement on the premises ' condition at move-in, and refusal to do a joint inspection at move-out, XXXX unilateral claims as to damages are without merit. I also requested refund of my security deposit in the amount of {$100.00}.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
In response to the collection placed against my credit profile. The information documented on behalf of this collection is incorrect and insufficient. I would like the opportunity to clear this debt from my credit report. I am making a request for Collection Company to  provide a deletion from my credit report. I value my credit and I continually make timely payments on all of my accounts. All bills from all medical manners were paid in full directly with ALL service providers and any remaining balances from 2012-present were included in the insurer 's Chapter XXXX bankruptcy under case number XXXX. Aargon Collection agency placed a {$39.00} collection on my account and this information was discovered when I recently saw it on my credit report. They did not send any type of bill, notice or information prior to placing this debt on my report. All medical bills are paid in full with the providers directly. Any balances are under the responsible party which is XXXX XXXX, the insurer and responsible party. I understand that collection companies are generally not excited about deleting a collection account. However, I have been informed that according to FCRA ( Federal Credit Reporting Act ) no creditor is required ever to report a debt, nor are they required to continue to report it for any set amount of time, reporting to the bureaus is purely elective on the creditors part. I would simply like for Collection Company to have this one account removed from my credit to ensure my credit profile does not show such a negative account.

I reached out to the company Self Financial Credit card on XX/XX/2022 because I notice they were reporting a late balance on the account after it was closed and the deposit was sent back to me for the remaining amount over six months ago. Now after the account has been closed over six months they are reporting a late balance and stating I owe XXXX. I believe they are reporting false information and this is causing my credit score to lower due to the late balance. I try to login the account to see why they figure they was owed after they sent a deposit back to my bank account but I'm unable to gain access. I sent them an email on the site and that when they responded stated this amount. I was unable to load my inital request on the email

Complaint:
My brother and I are beneficiaries of a family trust set up by our father and step-mother. Our father passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. After his death, our step-mother named us as beneficiaries, however, she was lacking in XXXX XXXX. She was the sole trustee of the trust and had adequate income to sustain herself at the time of our father 's death. In early XXXX she had the front and backyard of the residence ( also named in the trust ), re-landscaped at a cost of around about $ 40k or more. She did not notify us and we believe her neighbors suggested she do this. She took out a loan on top of the current mortgage loan to pay for the landscaping, even though she has a life insurance payout. Later that year, her neighbor, who is a realtor, apparently suggested she put the house into a reverse mortgage. Neither my brother, ( who is also the Successor Trustee and DPOA of the Trust ), or myself, were notified of this transaction. We were in constant contact with our step-mother, however, she was declining cognitively and did not understand what she had done. Her neighbors were always interfering and not helping us help her. They contracted with a caregiving agency without our approval, at a cost that was completely out of line as well and had access to her bank accounts. Our step-mother has been in declining health and passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. The house was also sold in the early part of that month. We agreed to cover the entire pay-off amount to the reverse mortgage company at the time of the sale, but are disputing the entire amount because there were significant over-charges. The entire situation has been a nightmare. We believe that our step-mother was taken advantage of and that she was a victim of financial elder abuse. Our potential inheritance was severely impacted and we are now seeking restitution.

Complaint:
I 'm in a dispute of charges with XXXX XXXX, over a pro-rate charge vs. a full month charge. XX/XX/XXXX a ended my services with XXXX, paid the last month bill ( exhibit A ) and was told that a final bill will arrive in regards to the period between the last billing and the discontinuation of the service from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. 

I received the bill but it was a full charge of {$92.00} ( exhibit B ). 
I called XXXX, told that my contract was long expired and that I should be paying only the pro-rate charge. Level XXXX customer service rep. said she could not do anything for me and all the " Executive Customer Service Reps '' were busy, then she took my callback info and said that such rep would contact me in 5 business days. This never happened and instead I received a letter from a collection agency. 

I responded to the letter in writing challenging the charges and demanding them a verification of my debt, they did n't replied to me. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from another collection agency called West Asset Management ( WAM ) about the same charges. On XXXX XXXX I sent them the same letter I 've sent to the previous agency asking again for proof of debt. ( exhibit C ) .This is a standard letter to debt collector asking for proof of debit and requiring them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to do not notify any credit agency until the debt is confirmed in writing, etc ... 

To my surprise, they informed XXXX and XXXX about this collection on XXXX XXXX, and of course my credit score dropped about XXXX points since ( exhibit D ). 

The letter for verification of the debt only came from West Asset Management on XXXX XXXX where they only included the last bill from XXXX, which I 'm aware of, and it is exactly what I 'm disputing here.

Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
First Niagara Bank was sold to Key Bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, the date of the transition, it took over 4 hours to gain access to my accounts online. On XX/XX/XXXX, Key Bank deducted my mortgage payment ( they call it 'auto deduct ' ) which I did not authorize. This caused an shortage in my acccount. Key then deducted funds from my savings account to partially cover the shortage. When I discovered the error, Key told me it would take 10-30 days to correct. I left work ( losing pay ) and went to a branch and demanded the error be corrected immediately. It was corrected the next day. The following week, Key again overdrew my account by making duplication payments to XXXX other accounts. Unfortunately, they did not reverse their unauthorized deduction from the savings account so I had no funds to rely upon while Key figured out how to correct the error. They then accused me of setting up something they call " Auto Deduct '' which I never used with either Key Bank or First Niagara. On XXXX/XXXX/16, I set up a bill payment for my mortgage with Key Bank and the funds were deducted. 
As of XXXX/XXXX/16, the payment has not been posted and Key Bank departments - Mortgage Servicing, Online Banking or the branch - can figure out why the payment is not posted. All departments acknowledge the withdrawal of the funds from my account, however, I receive daily calls about a late payment, and daily mailed notices with threats that my credit rating may be in jeopardy. This is not fair or right. I did not ask to be transferred to Key Bank and since being assigned to them, I have to check my account online at least 3 times per day to insure that the bank has not tampered with the account without my knowledge. Their lack of internal controls, their obvious inability to handle the transition of accounts from First Niagara and they accusatory behavior towards their customers should be dealt with. I am trying to go to another bank but refinancing my mortgage will cost me even more money. But I am at the point that I have no other choice. Can you help me get through to Key Bank and have them fix their errors?

Complaint:
Volkswagen credit sent me a {$0.00} balance statement from my payoff of my lease XX/XX/XXXX. In that statement in shows that all Residual Value, Fees, Taxes, Scheduled Payments, Rent Charges are included and they gave me a payoff amount of {$26000.00}. I remitted that amount and they sent me my title. 

XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX VW Credit started sending letters asking for an additional {$540.00} for property tax that they say they paid XXXX. I provided the documentation of the final billing statement and the title that was issued and asked for some documentation of the property taxes. I especially pointed out that if they are claiming that the property taxes were paid XX/XX/XXXX, they certainly should have been on the statement that I received on XX/XX/XXXX or shown as possible charges on that statement. VW Credit has refused to provide any documentation showing an error whereby they did n't include the taxes, nor have they provided any documentation that they actually paid the tax. When I go to the City of XXXX to see the documents I ca n't get access to everything because I was n't the owner of the car when that bill was allegedly paid. So, I have nothing to go on. Further, when I have shared this with VW Credit, they have twice threatened to send me to a collections agency if I do n't pay their demand for {$540.00} - even though they refuse now to provide any documentation of the bill. 

I feel I am being harassed and threatened and according to XXXX at VW Credit ( ext. XXXX ) there are a bunch of consumers who are being harassed in the same way without documentation of taxes paid.
