The below formal complaints are related to XXXX of Washington Federal Bank XXXX locate at the XXXX  XXXX branch, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, AZ XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Complaint # 1 - Releasing Unauthorized Financial Information without prior Consent On the XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 upon request of the sellers 's agent XXXX XXXX released our financial information without obtaining our prior consent as per the Arizona XXXX XXXX XXXX form Loan Status Update as described in section 37 below of the LSU form but importantly violating the Privacy Act and 6 U.S. Code 485 - Information sharing Complaint # 2 - Discrimination & Unfairly Treatment XXXX XXXX treatment and continued request of additional financial information has been very derogatory and discriminating to say the least. While we have more than over qualified for the loan on the basis of the financial requirements and required amount for the down payment ( nearly 2 times ) after showing our list of assets and bank statements, she and XXXX XXXX kept asking for detailed of outgoing transactions worth {$1000.00} with inquiring to explain what the payments were for instead of focusing on the account balance which shows more than enough funds required to cover the closing costs. In addition during the course of the loan application they have asked for numerous copies of our pay stubs. 

Complaint # 3 - Abusive and Threatening On XX/XX/2022, XXXX XXXX threatened to deny our loan application because I was asking too many questions as I was trying to better understand the requested information and respond appropriately and not just follow blindly their instructions. The same belligerent and abusive attitude toward us have been throughout the loan approval process. She called me on XX/XX/XXXX on my cell phone and in a threating and disrespectful tone to ask me to stop asking questions or risk having my loan application cancelled. 

Complaint # 4 - Lack of Disclosure information and Mis-representation When asked on XX/XX/2022 about clarifying question on the closing cost amount not reflecting the latest closing estimate she stated that the closing costs estimate she quoted in her email included six ( 6 ) months of reserve. However when reviewing the latest signed closing cost estimated none of such information was mentioned. Furthermore when we received the last final closing cost from the bank on XXXX and compared it with the subsequent closing statement from the title company it was completely different by {$850.00}. They omitted many key and important items. Again another mis-representation from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 
This deceptive, wrongful and mis-representation was rampant during the loan process.

Consumer complaint received 2023-06-06
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX)

I am complaining about Chase Bank. 

I have had a checking account at the bank ( and its predecessors ) for my small business for many years. 

There was any monthly fee on the account by any bank before or since Chase took over a few years ago. 

About a year ago, Chase changes the account to a different type of account, with no change in service or any other aspect of the account. 

But the big change was that now there is a monthly fee unless a minimum of {$2000.00} balance is maintained. There was apparently no grandfathering the existing account. All accounts-new, old or matured- pay this fee. 

We religiously maintained {$2000.00} balance and still got charged a fee every month. Monthly statements did not provide any calculation or justification for the fee. 

I complained to Bank regulators. Chase refunded a small amount without any explanation. 

After XXXX month, the fee started being charged again every month, even though the balance is over {$2000.00} at all time. 

This effected not only us but millions of other small, struggling businesses nationwide. 
By some estimates, Chase may have over XXXX XXXX small business customers. If the average fee is just {$10.00} per customer. That makes {$100.00} million being sucked by big, bad bank out of the nation 's small businesses without providing any value. 

All the money Chase spends on PR and do-good projects is just a small percentage of this ill-gotten windfall. 

Chase is no different than another big bad bank XXXX XXXX. Chase is just using a different technique to cheat the public. 

I feel Chase should refund all customers all such fees, and further stop charging this fee.
