Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to express my disapointment of the representatives that works for the Wells Fargo Bank. On XX/XX/2015, I spoke to a representative of Wells Fargo Bank in regards to obtaining pertinent information of my account. Since I would like to expand in areas of my XXXX and as such the information is one of the requirements for this expansion. The information required were : Account Holders Name, Account Number, Six Months Deposits, A statement showing there is no lien on the business account, and I attest that none of the funds used in this account is borrowed and is immediately available for Cater Home Care use. 
This business has been a customer of Wells Fargo for over one year and seeing that there is a six months requirement I felt that it was only fair that Wells Fargo furnish me with the true and authentic information required. I have spoken several times to representatives of Wells fargo and they have either refused to furnish me with the information needed or fax and mail information which was not asked for. 
This situation has become an issue between Wells Fargo Bank and my business and I have found it appaulding since I am only asking for information that was processed between Wells Fargo Bank and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I am therefore requesting that action be taken to relieve this issue and furnish XXXX XXXX XXXX with all the documents needed so that the business can move forward as soon as possible. 
Respectfully, XXXX XXXXAdministrator XXXX XXXX XXXX.

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, i call American Express Serve to report a transaction i did n't recognize, XXXX told me that they would do an investigation and get back with me. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 i was about to pay for breakfast with my card and it declined. I check my balance and my payroll deduction was there {$950.00}. I called XXXX and was told that i was issued another card and that the XXXX i had was closed, and that i had to wait until the new card arrived. I was due to go on a trip the next day.

I had requested this to be done before i went on my trip i was told that they could n't do it. I received my money on XXXX XXXX but i still had not received the card i needed it because my next payroll deduction was to be placed on XXXX XXXX.

I had have removed my payroll deduction to another bank but i will only use XXXX for minor things like online shopping. I will never get put in this position ever again.

I recently checked the account and noticed that a dormant account fee of {$5.00} was assessed for 6 consecutive months. It 's very misleading to call something " Free '' but they charge me over {$30.00} over 6 months.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
We have spoken to both American Express and the merchant, XXXX, on numerous occasions to attempt to correct this issue. We purchased an item through XXXX, and returned the item. Tracking information for the return was presented to both XXXX and Amex, and there is no dispute that the item was returned, to our knowledge. For some reason a charge, reversal, and a second charge for the item appears on our Amex statement. So, in essence, we are being charged for the item even though it was returned ( second charge for same item ). When we contact Amex, they tell us to contact XXXX. When we contact XXXX, they tell us to contact Amex. The amount of the charge is {$290.00}. If the amount were small, we would have just let it go at this point because of the hassle. Unfortunately, the amount is sizable, and we want the amount credited to our Amex account. ( Again- no one is claiming that the item was not returned. They just can not help us with the faulty accounting / secondary charge to the account for the same item that has been made in error, and apparently no one at Amex is willing to do the research to correct it. )

Company: RMB, Inc.
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I incurred a medical bill due to the deductible being owed, which I do not dispute. Prior to the XXXX, I was contacted about paying the deductible, which I did not have in full at the time so I paid {$500.00} of an approximate {$3900.00} deductible. After the completion of the procedure, I received the invoice for the balance and immediately contact the hospital billing department to make payment arrangements. Of an approximate {$3400.00} bill, I agreed to pay {$250.00} per month until the bill was satisfied. I made approximately XXXX payments of {$250.00} when suddenly I got a collections notice from a debt collector. I immediately contacted the debt collector, and expressed my disappointment that the bill had gone to collections, especially since I had been making the substantial {$250.00} per month payments. Nevertheless, I assumed responsiblity for the bill, and agreed to a payment plan of {$200.00} per month until the debt was satisfied in full, or of which time I was able to take advantage of a reduced offer of settlement. After XXXX payments, I happened to check my credit report, and noticed this account was reported as delinquent, and it had negatively affected my credit to the tune of almost XXXX points. I was never notified either by the hospital ( the debt owner ) nor the collections agency, that my credit might be negatively affected. And, since I had been make regular substantial payments on a debt that would have been satisfied within a year, it never even occurred to me that that might be the case. I was never late with any payments. I never disputed the debt, and did assume responsibility, and had been making regular substantial payments. Since, I was never informed that my credit might be adversly affected even in the wake of making substantial and regular payments, I feel I was deceived by the collection agency, as well as, the hospital that was the original owner of the debt. In fact, on several phone calls, I even brought attention to the fact of my desire not to have this situation negatively affect my credit rating. At no time, was I informed that this was even a possibility and was completely taken by surprise at the negative impact this debt had take on me personally. I feel the hospital and collection agency acted in bad faith, in accepting a payment plan that would have eliminated the debt in realistic time, but never advising me that payment plan would still result in a negative report on my credit. Otherwise, I would have paid much less per month as would have been less of a burden to me. However, in an effort to satisfy the debt as quickly as possible, and not be negatively affected in my credit report, I made payments in much larger amounts than was comfortable for my family and our monthly expense ratio.
