Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (FL)

Citi Bank Credit Card took an " Unauthorized '' payment out of my bank account from past credit information they had on file. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I made a payment of {$170.00}, and again on XXXX/XXXX/2015 Citi Bank took it again. I contacted Citi and they gave me several " Run-Arounds '' and various numbers to contact. I submitted several fax messaged to their " Payment Investigations Dept. '' @ XXXX with a cost of {$1.00} per fax sheet incurred upon me. I also have {$140.00} in overdrafts with my bank. Citi submitted {$100.00} of the {$140.00}, but there is still an outstanding {$36.00} overdraft they have not covered, and additional {$110.00} in XXXX Deposit ( s ) made into my account that my bank took to cover overdraft ( s ). So I am out {$150.00} total to date. I would like the {$150.00} refunded to me. I do n't wan the unauthorized {$170.00} back now because this has now drug out so long that we are into another month and I might as well just let them have that toward the account. Thank you.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Threatened to sue on too old debt
Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC. (HI)

This is a debt that I believe I do not owe for breaking a lease due to loving in a very unsafe apartment complex where I was scared for myself and my child. This has passed the statue of limitations in the state of Hawaii for them to still be attempting to collect this debt. The creditor will not provide any info on the original debt. They are calling my family members and calling them names and threatening them. They call my job everyday several times a day and say vulgar things to the receptionists. This has affected my job to the point where I had our company director contact me regarding this. I believe this is an inaccurate debt, and the way this company is trying to collect is threatening and harassment. The company 's that I know have called are IQ Data International which always calls from blocked numbers. Then another number called me today from a lady named " XXXX XXXX '' at # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX threatening to serve papers to my place of work. Neither of these companies have my correct information or name. This debt is expired and should even be removed from my credit report!

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC (FL)

In XXXX XXXX, I paid this debt in full in the amount of {$940.00} to the original creditor XXXX XXXX. As a result, the debt was also removed from my credit file and XXXX XXXX presented a XXXX dollar balance. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received communication from XXXX attempting to solicit monies in the amount of {$1000.00}, which is even more than the original paid debt. The collection letter states they are working on behalf of a company called Pinnacle credit services not the actual original creditor XXXX. The letter states Pinnacle owns the alleged debt. I 've never received communication from either company prior to this date. This appears to be a recycling of previous debts and fraudulent activity as I do not owe the alleged debt to XXXX XXXX or Pinnacle. After receipt of the letter, I contacted XXXX XXXX who was able to confirm that I do not owe any money. I want this company to cease from any further communications or collection attempts on a debt I do not owe to them. Please stop selling my information to obtain financial gain.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (GA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2016 a pending transaction came through my account in the amount of {$700.00} which put me in a negative status. So while this transaction was pending at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2016 a deposit came through which put my account to a positive balance. So the {$700.00} transaction posted on XXXX XXXX, 2016 which still left me with a positive balance. But they charge me a NSF fee, but I still had a positive balance but I was also confused. So I called the bank to see why I was charged a NSF fee when the deposit came in before the {$700.00} transaction posted. They said that it was because I did n't have the money in my account at the time that it pending transaction posted. Again I was confused and I thought that this was unfair because my deposit came through before the {$700.00} transaction posted. So I 'm really not sure what to do at this point. Now I have to pay the bank {$36.00} and then pay my rent office {$130.00} that I do not have. The way they have my transaction posted now is not how they had it on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I also called the bank on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and I asked them about the {$36.00} fee because the {$700.00} transaction had already posted. He kept saying that because of the way my transaction came through that 's why I was charged a {$36.00} fee. Again I still did n't understand.I explained to The bank that what I see they should see. But they said that 's not how it works although we see that everything 's all right on the account that is not how they see it on their end. I do n't think that 's fair at all because it seems like that 's how they make their money by charging fees when clearly it was n't necessary. When I spoke to someone on XXXX XXXX they said that my account was OK and that the {$700.00} ACH debit transaction was paid. So that means on XXXX XXXX, 2016 everything was fine except for the {$36.00} fee. But then I wake up on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and I see something totally different on my account. They 've already return the check to the my rent office and now I have to pay all these extra fees. This really upsets me and I do n't want to do business with someone who makes their money by charging fees.. So from this day forward I will be gathering up all my information so that I can change banks immediately. The whole process should take about a month but it 's got to be done.

I had loans through XXXX XXXX XXXX because I went to XXXX University and as a part of XXXX closing. they were supposed to get rid of the loans I still had almost {$9000.00} through uas lending Services since they receive the loans that XXXX had to give up. almost {$7500.00} of my loans was removed from uas lending services but I still have a total of {$1700.00} and change through uas lending services.

I keep getting calls from uas saying that I owe the money and now it 's in collections saying that I owe them money why was this part of the loan not removed when the other XXXX % was? I would like for this loan to be closed out I 've already reported it through XXXX XXXX saying that I should not be paying for it and all they did was remove the late fees.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I live off XXXX and about {$1000.00} a month part-time work. The company I work for does captions and subtitles. It 's run into financial troubles, so often the checks are late, and a couple of times the check has bounced. This month, I have about {$10.00} in my checking account with Bank Of America when I deposited this week 's check. Because of my employer 's prior history, they put a hold on the check over the weekend. Okay. But now they told me they are holding the check until XXXX XXXX! I called the boss, and he said the check had cleared his account on XXXX XXXX. I talked to customer service, and to someone at my branch, about why they were holding the check longer, and I never got an answer. My rent check will hit that account soon, and I will be in overdraft, with my credit card linked for the overdraft protection. But meanwhile, they have my paycheck. All they are accomplishing is forcing me to take, in effect, a payday loan. I will pay it with my check next week, plus interest. How else can this be understood?

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: State Collection Service, Inc. (WA)

For the period from XXXX XXXX, 2015 thru XXXX XXXX, 2015, my medical insurer was XXXX. During the same period, XXXX XXXX was my medical device provider. XXXX has repeatedly attempted to collect for rental for a XXXX for the treatment of XXXX XXXX. According to XXXX, XXXX did not obtain pre-authorization to bill XXXX for the rental of the XXXX and denied charges for the certain months, but has paid their portion of the charges for other months. XXXX has advised me on multiple occasions that I am not responsible for payment under the terms of their agreement with XXXX and that I can not be billed for the contested charges. However, XXXX has repeatedly attempted to collect directly from me and on several occasions has placed the charges with a collection agency. ( I will note that my complaint is strictly against XXXX, not the collection agency ) Furthermore, I have documentation from both XXXX and XXXX that the CPAP rental for XXXX 2015 was paid, yet XXXX continues to claim I owe them {$300.00} for that period. 

Presently XXXX claims I owe them {$980.00} although this figure seems to fluctuate from month to month with little explanation as to why. As recently as XXXX 2015 XXXX claimed the amount due was {$1900.00} Finally, I made a payment of {$490.00} in XXXX 2015 for for the XXXX, 2015 machine rental, under duress, in order to prevent the charge being sent to collections. I am contesting that charge as well and want the money refunded. 

I have referred this issue to the Washington State Attorney General 's Consumer Protection Division but their role in this matter appears to be limited to mediation with no apparent enforcement authority. To date neither XXXX nor XXXX have responded to the WaAG-CPD inquiry. I was advised by the AG 's CPD office that private legal action may be my only option, but did suggest that a complaint with CFPB may also be helpful.

Re : Foreign Transaction fees charged by Bank of America While making travel arrangements I recently had occasion to make purchases that apparently were processed in XXXX even though the companies involved do business in the United States. XXXX was the tour company XXXX and the other was XXXX. I was disgusted to see how much I had to pay in foreign transaction fees : a total of {$87.00}. This is not to mention other fees I have paid in the past for clothing ordered from a company in XX/XX/XXXX that does business in the US. 
I consider these totally unjustified charges. B of A is already making a profit from the fees charged the companies using their services. How can they justify charging the customers as well especially since these companies do business in the US and I paid in dollars?

ServiSolutions is my servicer. They paid taxes of {$3300.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for parcel # XXXX. My tax bill for XX/XX/XXXX was {$590.00} and my property parcel # is XXXX. This error created a negative balance in my escrow account. I received my statement and contacted them in XXXX XXXX to correct the error. It was not corrected until XXXX XXXX, XXXX when they paid {$650.00} on the proper tax parcel. This payment came out of my escrow account and included a {$45.00} penalty for late payment and {$23.00} interest charge on late payment. 
They did an escrow analysis at the beginning of this year and determined I owed a lot of money for the negative escrow balance which was inappropriately withdrawn. The escrow payment has gone up to {$490.00} a month from {$110.00} a month in order to fund the inappropriate disbursements. 
I have contacted them multiple times to fix the escrow account and my payment. They are telling me they will not credit my escrow for the amounts they fraudulently disbursed but are waiting for the county to refund them the first tax payment. Until then, they will not adjust my payment to the appropriate amount and will not accept any payment other than one that includes funds to cover the negative escrow.

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I mistakenly mailed a check to USAA credit card XXXX. The check was for {$2500.00} and was made out to XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I realized I had maybe made an error and had sent the check to USAA. I called USAA credit card services and was told that they had not received the check and would not cash a check not made to them. On XXXX XXXX, I called my checking account bank, XXXX and was told the check had been cashed. After going to XXXX I received a print of the front and back of the check and surely enough it had been cashed by USAA on XXXX XXXX, although I had a credit due from the USAA credit card of over {$100.00}. On XXXX XXXX, after calling USAA, I was told that they could not issue me a refund until I called them back in 10 days. The reason given was that they had to made sure the check was valid since it came from an external source, although I had a copy of the cancelled check in my hand. I was also told that they could wire the money to the bank that day, XXXX XXXX, but I would need to pay them 3 % of the amount wired. 
On XXXX XXXX, thinking that I had made a clerical error in my check book, I had issued XXXX XXXX XXXX another check for for {$2500.00}. Now, USAA could not return the check for another 10 days or more but could immediately wire the money at considerable cost to me. 
Translated that means pay USAA {$77.00} and they will wire the money immediately or call USAA in 10 days and they will mail me a refund whenever. 
I had to borrow money from my son to cover the second {$2500.00} check until my husband arrived from his work the following day to issue me another check for the same amount. 
I am very unhappy with USAA and will be cancelling the credit card as soon as my money is refunded. I hope I have described the situation clearly. Thanks for any help.
