My Bank has routinely charged {$35.00} for payment of checks and electronic debits when there are insufficient funds available in my account at the time the item is posted. However, they have recently ( as of XXXX 2015 ) started to reverse the payment, crediting it back to my account, without crediting the fee, and subsequently returned the item as unpaid, for which they assess an additonal {$35.00} fee. and most recently, after this back and forth with paying, then returning the item has concluded, they have presented the same item for payment four ( 4 ) times in as many days, assessing the return check fee of {$35.00} each time. this has never occured in the history of my account, and when I asked my branch why this was happening, I was informed that, although there once was a law that limited banks to three times that they may collect NSF fees per item, today there is no limit to the number of NSF fees a bank may charge per item .... Because I did n't believe this was the result of an impatient merchant, I called the merchant who the check had been made payable to, in an effort to halt the snowballing NSF charges now topping {$210.00} for a check in the amount of {$40.00}. The merchant informed me that they do not make repeated attempts to secure payment of any item following the return of an item for non payment by the financial institution is was drawn upon. My bank refuses to acknowledge this double-dipping practice and despite the clear and irrefutable documentation that validates my concern, Im spoken to as if i lack the basic understanding of how a checking account works, and if that were n't enough, Im told, that If I just maintain a sufficent balance to cover the checks i write, this would n't be a problem in the future ... I am absolutely disgusted! This account is a joint account I share with my XXXX old mother who 's finances I manage. Her household finances are now in complete disarray as a result of her checking account balances fluctuating several hundred dollars from day to day. She feels completely helpless and it has caused her severe emotional distress. I have every intention of closing this account, and opening an account with a local bank with a better record of customer service, but not before I recover the total of these erroneous fees, now totalling over {$1000.00}. This bank has engaged in deceptive and unscrupulous practices for many years and I it needs to stop!
In  XXXX  of  XXXX  I wrote a letter to  XXXX   XXXX  services asking to validate a debt that started reporting on my credit report. I then received a letter dated  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  that they reviewed the account and believe the activity on my account is correct. They did not submit any information to me regarding this debt besides an explanation of the debt in this letter. Please see attached all correspondence pertaining to this complaint. I then Wrote them another letter in response to their requests, which was received on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  from which they never responded. I then gave them  30 full   days and pulled a copy of my credit report dated  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and noticed that they did not place the notice of dispute on my credit file which they violated federal law and fair credit reporting act section  623 ( a ) ( 3 ). I then w rote them another letter dated  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  which is attached which was received on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  which they never responded to either. I have also noticed that this creditor has also broken FCRA  Section 605 ( c ) as the y have been re-aging this account as a current charge off instead of when it supposedly occurred back in  XXXX . This creditor has broken several FCRA laws and has violated my rights as a consumer and has caused pain and suffering with my issues of obtaining a home loan
In XX/XX/XXXX, my XXXX Credit Card issued by Comenity Bank had a balance of {$10.00}, which was paid-in-full prior to the statement closing date of X/XX/2017. My XXXX statement was a bill for {$2.00}, for an account with a zero balance. The company representative explained to me that this is a " trailing finance charge '' assessed when you do not pay for a purchase in full on the first month. {$2.00} is the minimum interest fee. " That is a valid finance charge, so I would not be able to waive that fee. '' Therefore, for everyone that pays a financed purchase in increments, after payment-in-full, {$2.00} will automatically be assessed, even after achieving a XXXX Balance. For every consumer that does not pay off the entirety of their initial purchase on the card the first month, when they do pay the balance to zero, the bank will still assess a {$2.00} fee at the end for the privilege of financing at an already usurious 25.7400 % ( v ) APR! No one should have to pay {$2.00} interest on a zero balance!
XXXX is with Ocwen, initially I had gotten behind on one payment. I called Ocwen to attempt to work out a time when I could get caught up. I had the money and would have made three payments to get caught up. They added fees and refused to let me work it out when they calculated my monthly income, which by the way was enough to pay on my loan as I had done for years. I had an incident where I had a family emergency and got behind. I called to let them know I would make three payments set up two in one month and the third being the second month catching everything up. They refused to do that because I did not qualify, then I was told to fill out HAMP paperwork and set up an appointment with a relationship manager. All of this was unnecessary and they were unwilling to work anything out. it was impossible to communicate with them because everyone was XXXX and in another country. I had issues before and requested to speak with someone in the U.S. and that request was never granted. I went ahead and let the payments go because with the fees and them telling me I no longer qualified for a payment arrangement, I put the house up for sale to avoid a foreclosure. So as of XX/XX/XXXX we have been working with Ocwen on a short sale and I hired a realtor. 
Shortly after that we had an offer that we, the homeowners accepted. The offer than went to Ocwen. 
Around XXXX XXXX, they disclosed that we would have to use an auction platform before they would consider approving the short sale- this resulted in us losing the buyer that had been in contract for months. 
Our file went through XXXX rounds of Auctions with XXXX the first and second without any buyers. 
On XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen completed new values and sent this information to XXXX so they would know where to market the property. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we were advised that this XXXX round of auctions resulted in a buyer. We then proceeded to send in paperwork each month for bank approval. We were told in XX/XX/XXXX everything was proceeding nicely and that the principle loan holder, Ocwen, had approved everything. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we were then told that Ocwen declined the file because the offer was too low!!! They were the ones that sent the information to XXXX. See attached. 
On XX/XX/XXXX when our attorney 's spoke with Ocwen they denied sending any " numbers '' to XXXX to market the property, however you can see that they infact did. Then initially when using this auction platform THAT THEY REQUIRED, they said they would pay to do that. Now they are trying to tack on the XXXX dollar auction premium to the buyer 's side. They also stated they did not set the values and that is why they were declining, when they clearly did, and because of that they would not net XXXX-XXXX more than what they are receiving now. 

This file should have been approved months ago
I fell behind on my mortgage and made an arrangement with my mortgage company, SunTrust Mortgage to have the funds required to bring my loan current withdrawn on XXXX XXXX, 2016 as I was to receive a bonus from my job. The funds were deducted on that date and my loan should be now in good standing. It has been two weeks now and the funds are in a suspense account at the mortgage company but my loan is still being reported as past due. Furthermore, l I began receiving correspondence from a foreclosure attorney as foreclosure proceedings have begun. I have been in contact with both my mortgage company ( SunTrust Mortgage Company, loan # XXXX ) and the attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX with no one being able to explain what happened and what is being done to stop the proceedings.
For more than 2 months this company has been calling about and placed Collection notices in my credit report for private student loans from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. These loans are past the statute of limitations in Florida as they are more than six years old. 

Furthermore, I am a XXXX XXXX  XXXX veteran adjudicated since XX/XX/2013. I have had legal representation on all debt since XX/XX/2013 and XXXX XXXX XXXX was notified of my XXXX and legal representation. It is a violation of the FCRA for these calls to have happened at all given my legal representation. 

Additionally the companies through their acts have tried to illegally reage these loans and they are reporting them as opened 3 months ago when they are past the statute of limitations for debt. 

These actions also violate the consent order by the CFPB and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX case Case XXXX
Equifax has my personal information incorrect, so I can not get a loan, a place to live, and I have lost a hard job offer because of this. I have submitted certified copies of bills, birth certificate, and social security cards to them, and they " lost them. '' I have been on the phone for hours with people who do n't speak  XXXX .     XXXX   just performed an investigation and removed  XXXX  of  XXXX  charge-offs from my account. My credit score dropped  XXXX  points over night, and again, no one at  XXXX  can speak  XXXX  or help me figure out how removing charge-offs causes a  XXXX  point drop.
This is not a duplicate case. Please escalate this to a supervisor or manager. Here is a copy of my complaint submitted to the CFPB. 

RE : Capital One Spark Business Credit Card. 

1 ) My credit card issues rewards 2 %, There is no record of redeeming any rewards ever, and my rewards balance is XXXX. When I contacted Capital One about the rewards, the ignorant person did not understand the problem. Capital One has stolen my rewards. I am missing a few hundred dollars in rewards. 

2 ) I told capital one that they merged my personal bank account with my business bank account and they have different tax ID numbers and they refused to separate the XXXX accounts. They are currently merged. I told capital one that XXXX tax id 's should require XXXX separate username and passwords and the ignorant customer service did not understand the problem even when I requested to escalate the problem. 

3 ) Capital One has not changed their Customer Service system and it is impossible to contact anybody for assistance.

This company Hunter & Warfield INC. out of Florida contacted me in XXXX via phone and mail. When I received the letter in reference to a debt from another company XXXX XXXX I advised them by certified letter to not contact me and I only deal with the original creditor and I owed their company nothing. Also in that letter I asked for proof of the debt and did they have the right to conduct business in the stat of Georgia. They then sent me an additional letter outside of the 30 days that just had a bunch of numbers on it with just my name on it. They were then sent another certified letter stating that the information that they sent to me was not proof of a debt that I actually owed their company, because I never lived in Florida at any time in my life. After sending them the second letter I never heard from them only to receive a letter saying that I owed their company again, so I again sent them another certified letter demanding them to stop all collection efforts because I signed or have never had any deling with their company and to stop all collection efforts. Upon sending Hunter & Warfield Inc. the last letter I received an alert on my credit monitoring that they had listed this debt on my credit reports XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. This illegal act has taken my score down almost 50 points they never validated this debt that I owed them or sent me any viable proof proving that I have business with their company.
My loan payments were always sent on time. I keep explaining this to Experian but they keep on saying that the accounts are accurately reported and they have verified it. The accounts were not reported correctly and I would like it fixed. Please CFPB step up and correct the status because I was never late on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX.
Potfolio Recovery is a collection agency out of XXXX VA. Portfolio Recovery has been attempting to collect a debt in the amount of XXXX under account number XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX.

In XXXX, the original creditor, identified as XXXX/XXXX XXXX filed a chapter XXXX bankruptcy and included the debt in the bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was dispositioed on XX/XX/XXXX. The account with XXXX  was closed XX/XX/XXXX. According to my credit report, at the time of closing, the balance owed was {$0.00}. 

Furthermore, it should be noted that the original amount of the debt was {$640.00} when portfolio Recovery obtained possession of the debt in XXXX. However, {$14.00} was paid on the debt that did not come from me in an attempt to keep said debt active. 

Attached, you will find the page of my credit report stating my balance on the debt to be {$0.00} as well was stating that the debt was included in the original creditor 's bankruptcy. It should be noted that according the consent order filed with the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau case number XXXX, filed on XX/XX/XXXX specifically prohibits portfolio Recovery from such practices.
XXXX  XXXX traded my Mortgage to 53.com. For the first 3 months I did not receive any statements from 53.com. I had to change my address and fill out a cfpb form to start receive statements! 53.com said they will not charge late fee on phone. Once the cfpb request hit 53.com they charged me an {$89.00} late fee. I need the {$89.00} back as the process of 53.com failed to informing me of the date of the mortgage trade and failed to get me statement to pay my mortgage.
They keep calling my job. Obtaining my personal work schedule. Did not leave info when asked. They fraudulently advised another supervisor that they were verifying info for a new job at my current employer. My boss asked me was I looking for another job because I am trying to get a promotion. That is ruined and now my hours are cut due to this. This is unethical.

I have a loan with USAA. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason I realized that there was a late payment on my credit report. As you can see, I have always had a stellar payment record with this company. I tried contacting both XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and USAA with no successful resolution.

I called XXXX XXXX back, at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and stated I thought this was a scam. He became very upset and, among other things, proceeded to tell me that he would contact my employer and garnish my wages.

Chase Credit Card Bank, after I had closed my account and paid off any and all outstanding balance, for which they gave me confirmation of receipt of payment, created new debt on that closed account. I was unaware off this till I received a letter of debt collection months later, not in the form of account statement, claiming principal, interest and late fees while they were no longer sending me correspondence nor statements, as the account was closed. They have maintained a rigid and dishonest/abusive posture, at no time did they openly acknowledge the payment I had made to close the account, not honoring the confirmation of receipt of payment number they had issued me. The person handling the case at the executive office, XXXX XXXX, demonstrated a total lack of ethics, of basic honesty and of basic decency in my repeated dealings with her. The only way for this person to answer my requests has always been following my repeated complaints with the CFPB. As the agency has no power to arbitrate, XXXX XXXX has been free to bully me without any sign of human conscience whatsoever into paying the debt illegally created by the credit card department at Chase. 
I have recently requested from her a final statement in order to cut my losses, stop the abuse and dissociate myself from such an institution and such an individual. 
So far my request has remained unsatisfied. 
As I can not fight the case via this agency, and I do n't reside in XXXX, DE to defend my case in person, I hereby reiterate my request for a final statement in order to pay what she/the bank wish to extort from me.
