Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Prepaid card
Sub-product: General purpose card
Issue: Managing, opening, or closing account

Complaint:
Today on XXXX/XXXX/2016, I received an email stating that my American Express Serve account is being closed due to " unusual usage patterns. '' I have used Serve with full intent to pay credit card bills, water bills, gas bills, property tax, school tax, rent, XXXX fees, and other bills. In fact, the tax office is still waiting on the Serve bill payments that I requested to be sent on XXXX/XXXX/16. 

By closing my account, I will not have a way to pay my bills on time. What I loved about Serve was the ability to load money via credit card or debit card quickly and the funds would arrive immediately. It was more convenient that the bank transfer method that takes several business days. It was also more reliable than work XXXX XXXX. There is no activity that is inconsistent with the intended use of the account. Serve has been so great to me. 

As a servicemember and current American Express cardholder, I am often told that American Express has our backs, no matter the issue. But this is not the case, and this was a slap to the face to all of us serving.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: KY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
I was called on XX/XX/22 at XXXX am, the company was XXXX XXXX XXXX via XXXX, I asked to call them back as I was at work. I was provided XXXX to call back. Mind you, I have never heard of or from this company prior to today. What's more is they called me using a fake/unreachable number rather than their public/main contact number. 

Upon calling I verified basic info ( name/address ) they advised that they purchased a debt and were attempting to collect on that debt. I asked that they send written correspondence within 5 days, and that I deny and dispute the alleged debt. The rep would not tell me how much the debt was for, only that it was for XXXX XXXX. 

The phone rep would not give an employee ID ( stating that she does not have one ) nor any identifying info. She then stated that I can not just dispute the debt, that I am required to give her the exact reason why and that this was not an argument. 

I again asked for a debt validation/verification letter, to which she stated that she did not have to and that this means they would have to contact the original creditor as they bought the debt from someone who was not the original creditor ( not my problem ) and may not have all the information needed. She then placed me on hold and disconnected the call.

State: TN
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint:
I received a text on XX/XX/28 at XXXXXXXX XXXX with a US Bank logo asking if I had initiated a large XXXX transfer. It looked legitimate and I responded no. Almost immediately I received a call from " US BANK '' Customer service #. Again, it looked legit. I was persuaded to " reverse '' the payment and in the course of 15 hours lost {$2400.00} to this scam as I was scammed out of every dime I had except {$43.00}. When I asked the " banker '' what was the timeline to see my funds returned and was told 45 minutes. After 1 hour I called US Bank and found that there was no pending reversals and that all of my $ $ was gone. 

I immediately filed a fraud report with US Bank over the XXXX XXXX transactions. I filed a police report, and when I went to my local US Bank with the report information I was treated like the criminal. My account had a 10 day hold on it, during this time I never received ANY communication from US Bank. I had to repeatedly call in to ask a status, I felt that there were no real notes in my file because I had to repeatedly tell the reason my accounts were frozen and I was treated mostly with a non-caring department and felt that I had been judged and discarded. I pointed out that in 10 years with US Bank I had never placed such a claim and why wasn't it questioned when out of the norm. 

On business day 9 I called in to discover US BANK DENIED ALL CLAIMS. How did they investigate and solve without speaking to me? 

I am a XXXX XXXX for my mother and when this happened, had I not had good friends, we likely would not have had food because after the incident I had {$43.00} combined from 3 accounts. 

XXXX said to report it to FBI. 

I want to go to my local news " investigates '' reporter and blast it to all since at this point I am being told I have no other recourse. 

It seems to me that if the BIG XXXX banks created and own XXXX, they are benefiting from " passing the buck '' and we little people have been swept under the rug. 

When I told them that I felt my rights had been violated per the CFPB, I was told that US BANK has a vast attorney base and they absolutely would know if my rights had been violated. And they had not. 

I feel that a class action law suit may be the only alternative I have to recoup my $ XXXX I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and work XXXX jobs. My mother draws {$1000.00} a month in SS benefits so we are not people with ample assets to recover from such a hit. 

This has affected me both XXXX and XXXX and I have no respect at all for US BANK or any other financial institution. 

I have documentation of the denials and I can go obtain the police report that include photos of the alleged bogus text messages and phone calls received from the " customer service '' number if necessary.

Complaint:
This debt in regards to an apartment that I never lived in is on my credit report. I have contacted the original creditor and the collection agency. The collection agency seems to be going after me for something that I do not owe as I have not lived outside of my parents home and also mentioned another person who never lived at this apartment that they are trying to collect money from. This has been taken up with them before and no police agency will take a report for something that is 6 years old as the collection agency is requesting that I file.

Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Called after sent written cease of comm

Complaint:
XXXX/XXXX/2015 @ XXXX my cell phone rang from incoming call ID XXXX. So, I placed it on speaker thinking is was a telemarketing company. The man asked me by my full name, full DOB ( with year ). He said his full company OF William and Fudge regarding an XXXX matter and anything said would be using those purposes, and that the call was recorded ( not exact words but close to it ). 

I explained the debt is not valid not to call me back contact me again. Also, I sent a XXXX XXXX using tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX asking 1 ). Verification of any debt related to my so called account 2 ). The nam and address of the original creditor and current creditor 3 ). Forms to assist disputing accuracy of such items. Also, I wrote they compromised my ID data by sharing it without first validating the person he was speaking to before sharing DOB and his agency name. 

Then, on XXXX/XXXX/2015 the same agency called my same cell phone number using a totally different incoming number of XXXX at XXXX. There is a clear violation of the law here. Clearly, the agency was attempted to work around my call blocking of the original number and perhaps hoped in 90 days the number dropped off my cell phone log as must drop off in 90 days. I am requesting CFPB fine them in the amount for the violations of the law. I have XXXX phone records and copies for proof. 

Also, they failed validate their claimed debt. I shared I dropped with XXXX XXXX AND instructor XXXX XXXX if it was related that a dropped class. Also, I provided the school an obituary, and I agree to pay payment plan. The University has a past practise of working with students that had an immediate family member pass. I had other reasons to drop, but they are no about this matter. 

The University contacted me stating they are investigating too. For any balance due, I already have agreed with XXXX to pay them for prorating dates without any upcharges, and they agreed after I am employed. Also, XXXXXXXXXXXX is not accepting payments after I agreed to a payment plan for money not owed once employed. Now, I am advised by legal professionals the debt is clearly not valid given all the documented facts and record that go back two years.

Complaint:
On the XXXX of XX/XX/2022, I received an email from PayPal that my account is going under closure, first i thought this was a fake email but when i logged into my account it was actually real. They are telling me that my account is closing from the vague reason of violation of PayPal 's Acceptable Use Policy. What i did first is messaging them on the paypal website and asking for a more specific reason, first I received an automated message which i responded to so a person can answer me. The second answer i think it was by a person but it wasn't telling me why my account is closing, just that my account was reviewed and they think it should be closed. I replied to that answer again and told them what i am using PayPal for and ask them again the reason why i was permanently limited. They simply answered that the decision can not be overturned and that my funds will be frozen for 180 days. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX and explained to them again what I use PayPal for and they issued a new revision for my account which i never got an answer for after 72 hours of waiting. I use PayPal to sell digital products/goods. I am a developer and I create plugins/scripts which are digital products, then I sell these products on a marketplace. I can give all the info on my products and the Marketplace that I am using if needed but PayPal never asked for that before closing my account. I was using my PayPal account for about 2 years and I had no disputes over this time period, the account was verified and I gave all my personal information when I created it as well as added my credit card & bank account. I am really worried now that I'll never get access to my balance that was frozen, I have XXXX $ which i can not access. I need this money to pay my bills and my life expenses and can not wait 180 days to have it back. For 3 days I have been stressed and couldn't sleep & eat.
