Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 I checked my credit on XXXX and had a total of XXXX collections removed from my report. I checked my account again on XX/XX/2017 and all collections were placed back onto my account without sending me a reinsertion letter as required by FCRA section 611. I have called TransUnion at least once a week since then to try to get this issue resolved and have recieved no help, no one will transfer me or connect me to an American representative or the fraud department, multiple agents have even been beligerent, some have even told me they know what happened but it 's basically too bad and that I should file a complaint because they will not fix the issue.

Complaint:
Disputed both online and XXXX number but both paths ran into errors on site and representative unable to process dispute. Online dispute stopped at step 1 with error a support evidenced attached. Representative attempted to defer and re-direct to a new department. That department was XXXX. Requested an escalation but XXXX XXXX only was listening in the background and did not announce herself. Stayed on hold for 1/2 hour and was finally transferred from XXXX to Supervisor XXXX .also XXXX deferred back to XXXX to escalate and stayed on hold for 50 minutes on hold and still no escalation. Finally a very rude XXXX from Customer Service and Office of the Executive kept prying into reason for transaction and only wanted to ask the nature of purchases. I explained a similar transaction from same vendor on XXXX/XXXX/16 and gave concrete example of no fee charged but XXXX could not provide an explanation. Requesting full refund of and and fees charged by Wells Fargo on this account. Internal case # with Wells Fargo is XXXX but XXXX ended recorded call with " we are not reversing any fees.

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: DC
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint:
I am an affected consumer who received an auto loan with an extremely high annual interest rate of 19.5 % from American Honda Finance Corporation in XXXX XXXX. I have reason to believe that this interest rate was assigned to me solely on the basis of my race ( XXXX ) and income level ( less than XXXX annual ). 

During my initial consultation with AHFC, I disclosed to the AHFC administrator my financial and living status which would hinder me from affording a large down payment for a vehicle aside from the value of my trade in. Because this would be my first time financing a vehicle and because I desperately needed reliable transportation to and from work and school, I foolishly informed the AHFC administrator that I was unaware of my options and next steps. The AHFC administrator then pressured me, quite aggressively, into trading in my old vehicle and accepting a 19.5 % annual interest rate and a $ XXXX monthly payment on the same day as my initial consultation. I even asked for a day or two to consider this offer before signing but the AHFC administrator assured me that he was " doing me a favor '' and that this offer would n't be available to me at a later date. 

As a result of such aggressive, inconsiderate, and discriminatory practices by AHFC, I have faced a considerable amount of financial hardships following this loan agreement including, but not limited to, falling behind 30-60 days on payments, getting denied credit due to negative marks from AHFC on my credit report, and being evicted from my primary residence only days after having my vehicle repossessed by AHFC. The vehicle issued by the loan in question was repossessed from my residence in XXXX XXXX by a third party debt collection agency. I received no notice from AHFC prior to or after the repossession. AHFC continues to submit negative remarks to my credit reports monthly in XXXX even though I no longer have the vehicle and have not received any notifications or information from AHFC since prior to the repossession.

Product: Payday loan
Issue: Can't contact lender

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX and I got a payday loan for a {$100.00} but I lost my job and I could pay back the loan. Last year in XXXX XXXX I got a call from my brother that his wife got a call asking for me that I needed to get in contact which I did. It was a collector calling to collect bui did n't have the money so I agreed on a payment plan of {$150.00} two payments. I Gave the first payment but could n't afford to pay the second payment a month later I got a call to settle for {$69.00} and I did n't and was suppose to receive paper work but didnt. And then yesterday I got a call from my brother telling me that a private investigator looking for me and just when he was about to hang up they told him that there was a warrant for my arrest for 2 counts of felony fraud. He never gave me a name but he provided me with the number and I called right away and got a recording for private investigator XXXX XXXX and I left a voicemail. I called today XXXX XXXX, XXXX in the morning and got a recording for a private investigator XXXX and left another voicemail. 10 minutes later I get a call back from private investigator XXXX returning the call from the message that I left. She was informing me that she was calling on behalf of Ezmoney payday loans and that they filed 2 counts of fraud and that at 1 warrants where going out for my arrest and that I needed to a total amount of {$1300.00} through a XXXX before XXXX today so that it could be settled and the warrant could be dropped or else police officers would pick me up where ever I was and take me to jail and I would have to go in front of a judge and get 120 days in jail and gett a fine of {$3500.00} and that 's including court fees. I informed her that I didnt have that kind of money and I wanted to know what I could do considering that I never received a letter or any notice and also because I am a single mother of XXXX. And all she could say that I needed to play that amount and make arrangements for my kids because I was going to get picked up and hung up. My concern is that I asked her how she got my brothers number and she told me that I had him down as an emergency contact but I informed her that before I even spoke toy brother yesterday I did n't have his number because my number lives out of state and that I had to leave a voicemail for two different people only to get a call back from a third person if I was calling the same number. But what alarmed me is that she was asking me for a money order for an amount over {$1000.00} in a XXXX. I know I spoke to my father and he said he did hear of some scam. I did n't send any money but my concern is that she told me I was going to get arrest today by XXXX since I told her that I was going to send that money since its money I do n't have.

Complaint:
I had cable service from XXXX that was contracted through XXXX. All billing for my cable service was received from XXXX. I never had an account directly with XXXX. Upon the end of service, I received a bill from XXXX that reads FINAL BILL about 3 years ago. The FINAL BILL showed that I overpaid the account by more than {$50.00}. However, XXXX created an account after service ended and continues to send me fraudulent bills via collection agencies attempting to collect at first {$230.00}, then {$140.00}, and recently {$98.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX via certified letter to dispute the debt, provided a copy of FINAL BILL proving balance was not owed. This collection company stopped contacting me after the letter was sent. Then I received collection attempts from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Again, I sent a certified letter to dispute the debt, provided a copy of the FINAL BILL providing the balance was not owed. This collection company also stopped contacting. 
However, on XX/XX/XXXX, another collection company called XXXX has sent me a letter attempting to collect the debt. I filed a complaint against XXXX ( See Case Number XXXX ) Guess what? Stellar Recovery, I want you to know I am stellar and will never pay this. Tell XXXX XXXX that they can keep doing this for another 4 years, I will keep filing complaints. STELLAR! If Stellar Recovery contacts me again, I will take legal action for violations against the Debt Collection Act.

Complaint:
I had a month-to- month gym membership with XXXX at XXXX. I was moving to XXXX, and was told by two Managers that all I needed to do was submit a letter stating I needed to cancel. My membership had no contract but I did sign up for personal training and had a contract for that. They said it applied to both. I submitted the letter to XXXX with the date of XX/XX/2016 stating I was cancelling and did not authorize any more charges on my debit card. Come XX/XX/2016 they charge me the personal training fee 's of {$670.00}. I called Citibank and disputed, furthermore I had lost my debit card. So how was the {$670.00} charged? Citibank opened the dispute case and gave me a provisional credit of {$670.00}. I had n't heard from Citibank until XX/XX/XXXX, they sent me a letter stating to send my letter of proof that I cancelled. So I did send the letter. Now a month later, Citibank has reversed the credit of {$670.00} stating my proof was not enough. First, that charge was not authorized, second my card was stolen, is n't that Fraudulent on XX/XX/XXXX part, and third is n't Citibank supposed to notify me in writing that they found the charges valid and would be reversing the transaction?

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I had had an existing credit line product with my bank, Wells Fargo. On XXXX XXXX, I called the customer service to find out what are my options to increase the limit from {$10000.00} to {$15000.00}. The representitive I spoke with was XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, extenstion XXXX. Initially I was told the only way to increase the limit is to open a brand new credit line. After some back and forth, I was finally offered a increase if I file an application over the phone, so Wells Fargo can process it and pull a credit report. I agreed and proceed with answering the questions. XXXX of the questions was whether " I am a XXXX resident ''. I answered " No, but I am treated as one for all financial institutions and for tax purposes ''. This is due to a fact I am not a green card holder, but a XXXX visa holder instead. I heard a little hesitation from the representative voice, but he proceeded with the application. I was told that the bank will contact me within XXXX hours with the decision. 
From there, things went downhill. I was never contacted by the bank. I reached out again to find out regarding the application status ; I was denied. Subsequently, I showed up in person at the WF branch to gather more feedback regarding the application. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and his senior co-worker. They had very difficult time navigating the system to provide a true reason of denial. This was caused by multiple application WF made for my name without a reason ( applications XXXX and XXXX ). Finally, after an hour long wait and calling several WF departments, I was told that my request to increase the line was denied due to " non-resident status ''. I am still very perplexed as to an explanation I received from personal bankers at the XXXX 's WF branch ; they said WF allows non-resident aliens such myself to apply to avoid any discriminatory charges, however, it automatically denies these applications. So how is it? Is it fine to discriminate on back end, but not on front? I understand the bank has a right to establish its own underwriting standards, but I expect a higher level of transparency. Wells Fargo allowed me to apply knowingly I will be denied. The bank did not act in my best interest ; especially as it pulled a credit report. Now, I have a hard pull inquiry visible to anyone for two years. I am extremely disappointing about the discriminatory consumer practices, lack of transparency, and misleading behavior. Other financial institutions such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX have made steps to do further due diligence in such cases ; these banks move application into a pending status and request an additional information to substantiate my status.
