Consumer complaint received 2017-02-14
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX I went online to make a transfer from my savings account into one of my checking accounts with Regions Bank. I noticed in my online portal that there were some pending charges. I also noticed that I was assessed an overdraft fee of {$100.00}, however, the balance at the time the fee was assessed was not negative. I completed my transfer and called to get clarification. The representative told me that while the pending charges had not been taken from my account ( or even been requested from the merchants ) they had preemptively applied them to my balance, thus creating a negative balance and charging XXXX separate overdraft fees to previously made transactions that had already posted, even though the balance after these transactions was still positive. I was rather confused, because this same policy is not applied to deposits, even if transferred with another account within the same bank. When I pushed the issue, I was told that my banking portal was not the same portal that the bank uses, and therefore they were seeing charges and assessing fees based on their interface. Basically, while customers have access to the transactions on their account right away in the portal, the online interface does not calculate balance in the same way that the associate interface calculates balance. So, while customers see that transactions have been covered with a running, positive balance, the bank sees something different. This is deliberately deceptive and misleading. Although the bank claims that this online banking interface is just a " tool, '' the fact that they do, in fact, have access to information that they are not updating in the portal leads to issues with customers ' understanding of their bank balance, especially when transactions are posted in the customer portal in such a way that it appears that the balance available is still positive. Assessing fees based on projected fund withdrawal, while not counting projected funds deposited is unfair and, at best, questionable. I would be interested to know how much money Regions bank has stolen from customers by assessing fees based on projected account activity. If this is their policy, then all customers should have access to the same account information through a comparable interface, rather than one that is intentionally set up to confuse and manipulate the customer. Surely, this ca n't be a fair and ethical practice.

Complaint:
I have over {$250000.00} Goldman Sachs Bank Saving Account. This account was blocked due to a divorce case and waiting for settlement. Now the case is ended and the court ruled out this account belongs to me. I sent this CERTIFIED JUDGMENT ON XXXX ISSUES to : GOLDMAN SACHS BANK XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As per Goldman Sachs Bank requested, I sent the original certified court order and it was delivered on XXXX. I called them on XXXX and spoke with XXXX of their associate. She told me it takes up to 7 days to process. The next day, I call them again. This time I spoke with the manager, XXXX XXXX. He stated it takes up to 30 days to process. I told him XXXX XXXX and XXXX at the local branches here ( XXXX ) take only 2 hours for their corporate legal department to unblock an account. Why Goldman Sachs Bank takes that long? I suspect Goldman Sachs Bank uses my money for trading and the funds are not available to pay me back.

Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint:
Company alleged that I owed $ XXXX+ on a payday loan, despite the fact I have never received a payday loan. 
They were extremely aggressive and hostile on the phone and threatened to take legal action. 
They never disclosed the " mini-miranda '' or that this call was to collect a debt. 
They also called daily, sometimes multiple times, leaving messages each time they called. 
When I asked to receive debt verification, they claimed that they had already mailed documents previously, but I never received any such documents. They refused to send me any documentation or verification and only got more hostile on the phone. 
Most distressing was that they had personal information including name, address, bank information, and social security number. 
This was most definitely a debt collection scam.

Complaint:
I have a mortgage with Central Mortgage Company. I was a few days late in 2013 and they waived the late fee. Over 2 years later I was late by 2 days and they assessed a {$69.00} late fee which they would not consider waiving. The following month my payment was timely but they rejected the payment after the time period for when payment was due making the payment late. They assessed another {$69.00} fee to spite their agreement that there was no way for me to make this payment on time. 
They are abusive and their actions should not be allowed.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute charges of AFNI account # XXXX that stemmed from past due charge at XXXX account # XXXX. I entered into a bundled package with XXXX and XXXX while living in XXXX, CO during the time frame between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. We moved to XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and transferred our XXXX account at that time ; however, XXXX did not provide service in XXXX XXXX so we had to terminate the service which we did in XXXX XXXX. We paid our final bill upon leaving XXXX ( which was combined as XXXX bill with XXXX ) and then began paying XXXX XXXX directly. In XXXX XXXX, my agency ran a credit check and I was notified of a delinquent balance that was owed to XXXX. I had never received a bill or notification of this bill of any sort. Although I disagreed with the billing because I knew we paid our final bill, I paid the past due balance. The agent confirmed that our mail was returned and assured me that this would be removed from my credit report given that I had never received a bill. 
Although I thought the issue was resolved, yesterday I received a call from my agencies security personnel who asked me about a past due charge from XXXX. I explained the situation and they ran a new credit check to see if it had been removed. They notified me that a {$150.00} past due account was still showing up on the credit report. After multiple phone disconnections and well over an hour of being on hold, I spoke to an AFNI agent and explained the situation. They confirmed that the prior bill had been removed from my credit report, but informed me that there was another account with past due balance of {$150.00}. I was not informed of this in XX/XX/XXXX and, again, have never received any form of notification of this past due balance. Additionally, the AFNI agents were unable to detail what the charges were for. 
I am disputing these charges as I know I paid the last bill in the billing cycle prior to moving and I just paid an additional {$120.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. I do not believe the current charge is legitimate.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
A stop payment was requested back in XXXX 2016. The request was never removed. Several occasions, items were presented against the account, no funds were in the account. Thus resulting in non sufficient fees ( NSF 's ). Several times, I spoke to managers in the customer service to get credit for the fee being assessed. In two occasions, they were reverted. However, other times they were not. I was told that they had to go through a different process to get " approved ''. This never happened. 
Eventhough, I still have this account. There has been attempts to withdraw funds from FACTS Management causing continuous NSF 's. Would like someone to take a look on how this agency is refusing to secure an account. Also, marginalizing the poor ( or at a lower class level ) to benefit the wealthy.

Complaint:
I have a {$500.00} revolving line of credit with Regions Bank. I am in the process of trying to close on a condo, so I paid {$300.00} last month and yesterday, XXXX/XXXX/2015, the account had a balance of {$190.00} in which I made a payment of {$200.00}. This a.m. I went into the branch to try to get an update statement showing the {$200.00} payment with a available credit of {$500.00}. Unfortunately, the XXXX branch manager could not produce an updated statement showing this payment and available credit. Unfortunately, I discovered Regions had assessed a {$37.00} paid in full fee and was able to produce a statement showing only this transaction. I also noticed that on this {$500.00} revolving account, Regions had " willy nilly '' assessed a ton of fees to this account throughout the time I have had this account. 


ANOTHER SEPARATE COMPLAINT : As I overpaid this account by {$2.00} ( stated as a credit on statement and refunded back to me at a branch ) when I paid account in full and requested an updated statement ; however, today, XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a statement from Regions Bank treating the {$2.00} overpayment I made as a cash advance and has charged my XXXX balance account {$10.00} with {$1.00} in interest. Just criminal.

Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint:
I came into Bank of America to get my pin number changed for my debit card.I was told about a balance transfer of my other cards at another bank. I was told this, thinking it would happen in XXXX session at that moment with the teller. Instead the teller had me click XXXX boxes on a screen as my signature and then told me I had to wait 2 hours on XXXX to get word from me having to call XXXX or wait a day to see what rate of credit I would get later. If XXXX XXXX had told me this would not be determined and I could not get this done at that moment I would have not done this precheck or application click. 
i still am not sure what the transaction or action of the clicks exactly did at the XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX office did. I was only given general policy and credit rate information. Nothing was given to me noting the date. Nothing was told to me of a prior date. I had no written record of the meeting accept my in bank pin change that occured. I even told her I had a freeze on my accont and I have not lifted it for that meeting, unless someone else did without me being aware of it. I would like a letter or record of the event sent to me. This place is strange. once a Teller named XXXX had me sign paper for a pen change months ago, and the top part said one thing and the bottom said another. Hopefully this branch is not doing a XXXX move and creating accounts without letting customers be aware of it. I am going to cancel the card when I get word of its number or anything to identify the meeting at all, other than the pen change. Which was the reason I came in to see the given to me fellow named XXXX too. At least XXXX walked me out to a teller to show me if I needed to change my pin in the future an new the old number I could use a teller. I think transactions should be explained in terms of timelines better in the future, like this can be done now in so many minutes or the process takes days or weeks or months all together. What if the person is going out of town or something.

In line with the multiple unethical credit reporting complaints as identitied via the internet, since the beginning of this year I have been disputing an account from Fair Collection and Outsourcing ( FCO ) -creditor XXXX in in the amount of XXXX dollars which has been placed on CRAs XXXX , XXXX , and XXXX.

I 'm also concerned and request investigation of FCO 's document replication of account ledgers ( false documentation ) from the actual creditor. This false reporting is currently hindering my employment associated with credit requirements ( position with clearances ), as well my quality of life and pursuit of the American dream. I recently filed a complaint via XXXX where this company 's rating is graded an XXXX, and received the complaint results stating after multiple attempts of communication from XXXX with FCO, FCO failed to respond to XXXX regarding my complaint. They also informed me to pursue this company with an attorney and/or CFPB. Again, I have also filed another dispute with FCO compliance officer via email, as well as via the CRAs. This company has created havoc on thousands of law abiding citizens and should be seriously investigated and fined.
