Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF THE WEST (CO)

Bank of the West is reordering electronic deposits and withdrawals in our business banking account. We receive notification of a deposit 2-3 days prior to the deposit appearing in our account, a pending deposit. Our company payroll is also processed electronically, on or near the pay date which is on a Friday every other week. In the last month we have had two separate instances where the deposit and debit post on the same day, yet we have been assessed an overdraft fee.

The bank reversed one of the fees when I inquired about the first charge and stated we should apply for overdraft protection on this account. The overdraft protection is expensive, it applies a fee whether it is used or not and has a significant percentage rate on the overdraft amount. The bank seems to be reordering deposits and withdrawals in order to charge a fee or force us into an even more expensive overdraft line of credit. We have no control over when these electronic items process, we as consumers are entirely in the dark regarding these transactions that appear to be nothing more than a vehicle for the bank to assess more fees to a small business.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

My checking account was compromised and monies removed without my knowledge. The fraud committed was at four branches of the Bank Of America on the same day in Georgia. Person or persons withdrew {$18000.00} over four times in the same day. Based on the bank records Tellers paid the person or persons in cash from the four Georgia locations. Where was the security and bank due diligence? The account is located in XXXX at the XXXX XXXX location. I filed a fraud claim and the Bank Of America denied it. They gave away my money without a notice to me or a challenge to the fraud person. I 'm in XXXX and someone is stealing my money in Georgia and the bank did nothing. The next day I viewed my account and went to the branch office and filed a fraud claim. My wife and I gave them our debit cards and the office manager disposed the cards and we closed the account. I have filed an appeal to their decision and awaiting a final decision to my appeal. In the mean time I have filed a police report and will taking additional steps until this issue is resolved.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (ME)

On my Bank of America statement, as I was close to final payment of a balance transfer with a 2 % APR, I was repeatedly charged a monthly {$1.00} " fee '' in substitution for a negligible interest amount. I was unable to determine, from information on the paper statement or online, exactly how much that balance was so that I could pay enough to get rid of it and avoid the annoying " fee. '' ( Meanwhile, about the same time that the prior balance should have been paid off, I had transferred a new balance to the card at 0 % APR and had paid the 4 % fee. ) Bank of America did remove the {$1.00} fee for each of the 3 months that it appeared, but I had to call and " escalate '' to a supervisor each month, which was annoying. 
I am complaining because my paper statements have the required grid of " Interest Charge Calculation '' with column headings for the balance amount, APR, etc., but the " Balance Subject to Interest Rate '' for all balances ( i.e., each different balance transfer, loan, purchase, etc. ) is always XXXX. This amount is simply neither computed nor displayed. Without that balance information, it is difficult for me to plan how much to pay to get rid of certain balances, e.g., the minimum payment + interest + amount of highest rate balance. 
In comparison, the statements that I receive from XXXX XXXX have the balance information filled in on this grid. Moreover, the statements that my spouse receives from Bank of America have this balance information. Obviously, the prior balance at 2 % APR should have been displayed and even the current balance at 0 % APR should be displayed ( even 0 % is an APR ).

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Cottonwood Financial Ltd. (UT)

Yesterday my daughter was contacted my a person named XXXX XXXX who made threatening statements about a lawsuit against me. The phone number she was given was for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). I called the number and left a message. I was unaware of any debt owed that would result in such action. 
When XXXX called me back she stated it was unresolved debt from a payday loan I 'd taken out in XXXX 2014. I know for sure that loan was satisfied. She stated I would be served papers and verified my phone number and place of address. 
The next day I got a recording stating I would be served papers at my place of residence or work and if I was served at work then I would need a supervisor or head of security to co-sign. I called then number provided ( XXXX ) and was transferred to a business that did n't identify themselves when they answered. They merely said hello. I asked who I was speaking to and was told XXXX. I attempted to talk to him about availability to be served court documents. He became extremely rude. 

He asked me if I had spoken to the original creditor ( The Cash Store ). I said I did n't, but I had bank statements and receipts to prove the loan was paid in full. He told me to expect to be served and the matter would be resolved in court. 

I called the Cash Store and was given the information to their corporate office. The person I spoke to confirmed the loan had been paid in full. She said if I received any other phone calls I should tell them to 'Cease and Desist '. I called the phone number back ( XXXX ). Again, the phone was answered by XXXX who did n't identify the place of business. I told him I had spoken to the Cash Store and the loan had been satisfied. I told them the representative said to cease and desist. He told me to bring all of that information to court and hung up on me. 

Part of what seems off is yesterday, XXXX XXXX did not have my employer correct and when I told her that was not my employer, she did not try to collect the information for my current place of employment. They also can not tell me how much the original loan amount was and the stated I had written bad checks. The money was automatically withdrawn from my account, which I have proof of on bank statements.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MO)

Earlier this year after making my complaint about paying on line alleging the practice was unfair and discriminatory towards people on XXXX and retirees XXXX XXXX falsely reported my loan balance in an amount that was higher than what I  actually owed them. After having no resolve with then I disputed the amount with the credit bureaus and submitted evidence ( my mortgage statement ) that my  balance was not what XXXX XXXX was reporting .... The credit bureaus corrected the balance. as of XXXX XXXX 2016. a couple months later I noticed that XXXX XXXX was not reporting my payments after that. I notified them of the problem but never got any real resolve. I had spoken with them on a few occasions about it however here we are 6 months later they are still not reporting my payments and the reduced principal balance. I have recently taken the initiative to report it myself by sending in statements of over the last 6 months showing the payments made and the reduced balance. It is my belief the actions of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is  retaliatory for my alleging what I then and now consider a discriminatory practice toward people who are on fixed incomes such as XXXX, ssi or retired because their online payment system penalizes people who do n't pay their bills on or before the first of the month due to being on a fixed income and I expressed offense when a representative suggested I pay an extra payment in order to avoid a {$5.00} charge to pay my bill on time online and I called the charge a late fee. I was refused proper direction as well when asked how to properly file a complaint regarding both matters

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (NC)

I leased a Hyundai in XXXX and made every payment on time. I leased another Hyundai, in the summer of XXXX and turned in the XXXX car. As part of the deal, my last few payments on the XXXX vehicle were to be paid by the Hyundai dealer. Apparently, the payoff funds were applied to the new vehicle, instead of the old vehicle. I have no idea if the Hyundai dealer or the XXXX XXXX XXXX made the error. I began making payments on the new car and, still today, make my monthly payment on time. 

My credit score took a major hit as 3 payments on the old car erroneously appeared as past due. After much legwork, that I was required to do between the dealer and the finance company ( they would n't do any research, saying it was my problem to resolve ) the finance company agreed that the payoff funds had been received when due and they agreed to remove the late payments from my account. Several weeks later, my score returned to normal. 

Later in XXXX, one of the late payments appeared again ( on the old account ) and I filed a dispute with XXXX. A few weeks later I received a notice stating that the information was correct ... .and I then noticed that all 3 late payments were on the XXXX report. 

After many phone calls, I was finality able to convince XXXX XXXX that the late payments should be removed again, and I assumed this finally solved the problem. 

In the spring of XXXX, I received another notice ( from XXXX XXXX ) that my score had dropped. All 3 late payments were again on my report. Removing the errors took even more phone calls, as I was repeatedly told the data was correct and that XXXX was to blame. I finally reached a reasonable person at XXXX XXXX who saw the full history and actually apologized. I appreciated her help, but stated that I was very concerned with the apparent lack of controls that would prevent this problem from happening again. Knowing that if they did n't correct the source data in their system ( s ), a repeat posting of this data was certainly possible. Unfortunately all this lady could do was correct the data already sent to XXXX. 

Today,XX/XX/XXXX I received yet another notice that three XXXX payments were now showing as late ... ... ... 

XXXX XXXX is n't open in the evening ... but I will call them again in the morning.

This is to show that XXXX XXXX that holds my current VA loan is blaming the credit bureaus with not correctly reporting all of my payments that have been made on my loan since XX/XX/XXXX. I have also attached two bureau reports, current, showing only XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX as reported as payments being made. I have a paper trail showing via cashed checks otherwise. I also have submitted XXXX 's payment report file that does n't not reflect accurate information on all three credit bureaus. 
I have kept in touch with the credit bureaus, in which, I was told that XXXX will need to fix the errors regarding inaccurate reporting, as well not reporting all payments that have been made on my loan since XX/XX/XXXX. Regardless, if my account is in forbearance, payments, regular mortgage payments that have been made, should still be reporting to the proper bureaus. I was told by the bureaus through numerous phone calls that the issue is not with them. They only report what is being sent by XXXX. 
This is the sixth complaint and will continue until my payments are being correctly reported to all three credit bureaus. 
As per attachments. XXXX can clearly see the issues that I have continued bringing up to them. Yet, still not being resolved. 
I was also 'suppose ' to receive a call back from a XXXX consumer advocate this afternoon and a representative from XXXX . I never received that phone call. I did leave a voicemail with XXXX. I have a buyer on my home and can not proceed ahead with a new loan due to the underwriter with that bank needing the information corrected with the credit bureaus reflecting any and all payments that have been made on my VA loan. XXXX ... you are holding back me moving forward with the purchase of my home by the buyer. 

The deadline from the buyers gave me until the end of the this month. 
The clock is ticking.
