Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA)

On or about XXXX XXXX Wells Fargo received a wire transfer from XXXX Bank in the amount of {$35000.00} into my checking account, The staff at XXXX XXXX , branch of Wells Fargo ignored my direct instructions ( on more than XXXX occasion ) to " Under NO circumstances were any of those funds to have been placed into my account ''. I informed the branch manager on numerous occasions that the funds were not mine and that if she or the bank ignored me that they would be liable for any and all damages and possibly more. The bank also cancelled my Identity theft protection and denied me of my funds previously in the account and their actions have also caused other damages. I am also filing an Identity theft charge against parties involved since the bank also lied to me and stated " No crime has been committed and we will not contact law enforcement ''. They went on to state " There is nothing that we can do ''. and that is just a small part of what I have learned was also a lie that they stated to me and mislead me. I have documents I have not been able to obtain that do show other costs incurred due to Wells Fargo and It 's employees deceptive actions. They intentionally with malice have done this and the facts of their failure to act prove this as well. Their actions have caused undue stress, loss, damages, and I believe some of the actions are possibly criminal ..

About a couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from a collection company from XXXX. The lady was very nasty requiring a payment to settle a collection account. I ended the call, but I was curious about why someone called me to settle an account. I went to XXXX to investigate where the call came from and it is from XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX, NM. My concern is that she is part of stealing my identity. Then immediately I went to XXXX to verify my credit information. Sure enough, I found to credit cards that someone else opened using my information. I have no knowledge on either XXXX of these accounts.

The purpose of this complain is to clear my credit from both of these accounts. I am submitting an individual complaint to solve each of the fraudulent accounts from Capital One Bank and XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX of the reps called me a liar. I advised him that I am working with an attorney on several options that may include filing bankruptcy but its not my only which I told Cottonwood Financial and the collection. I do n't know why they sent me a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/16 but sent it to collections 2 weeks later. Why would they do that? The rep at XXXX XXXX XXXX was very rude towards me because I told him I did not know if I could file bankruptcy, he tried to put words in my mouth. One of the options given to me is to pay the company back what I owe them which is {$600.00} and I already gave them {$120.00} so if they will accept the {$470.00}, I will mail them a money order to their corporate address in 3 weeks after this agreement is accepted. This situation is becoming unbearable at this point and I do not want to lose my job over this.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC. (FL)

I made a purchase in XXXX 2015 at Kay Jewelers using my Kay 's credit card. They typically have promotions on large purchases so I asked about the promotions that were available to me for this large purchase. The manager advised that they had the regular 12 months with 0 % interest putting 20 % and they had the 24 month term at 2.09 %. I accepted the 24 month term since 2.09 % is a low rate. The manager agreed that the 24 month was better at a " low rate of 2.09 % '' and even better, I did n't have to make my first payment until XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if I had to give a down payment as I usually do and he said it was n't necessary. When XX/XX/XXXX came around, I logged into my account to check how much the payment was so that I can send the payment. The website said the minimum payment was {$290.00} so I proceeded to send the payment. I have made 4 payments since then but this last time, I was curious as to why my balance was {$5000.00} if my initial purchase was {$5800.00} and I had made {$1200.00} in payments. I logged in online and looked at my last time and to my surprise I was being charged over {$100.00} in interest each month. I quickly called customer service for clarification. The representative verified that I was on the standard 24 month term " at a low 24.99 % ''. I told her that I was told 2.09 % and she quickly responded that it IS 2.09 % a month. I told her that I felt deceived when I was told 2.09 % because interest rates on credit cards are supposed to be disclosed as APR. She said there was nothing they could do. She advised that they could make an exception and if I was willing to put the 20 % down they would give me 0 % and what was left if I were to have done the 12 month term to begin with and that my monthly payment would go up to over {$500.00}. I feel as though they deceived me into thinking that the 2.09 % was the annual rate so I would be comfortable with the payments on a larger purchase than what I initially wanted to make. Had they disclosed the rate properly as 24.99 % APR I would have been able to make a more appropriate decision or made a smaller purchase that would appropriately fit my budget. Now, since I can no longer return the item, I either have to pay over {$2000.00} of interest over the 24 month term or switch to the 12 months and not only have to pay the 20 % which is {$1000.00} and have my monthly payments go over {$500.00}. I feel that their practices are unfair and deceptive to consumers and that they should correct this immediately. I do n't know who in the right mind would say that 24.99 % is a low rate. I believe that they should honor the 2.09 % as the APR since they deceitfully lead me to believe that they were quoting the APR as ALL lenders disclose credit card rates using APR.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NJ)

I bank with TD Bank and have my mortgage, checking and savings accounts with TD Bank. When I moved from one address to another, I updated my address by calling TD Bank 's customer service, however, the agent failed to update my address for mortgage account while he updated it for my savings and checking account. TD Bank received undelivered mail for my mortgage account and never bothered to inform me through email or phone both of which they have available. In the meanwhile, the monthly mortgage payment went up from {$1000.00} to {$1000.00} due to change in escrow, hence increasing the payment by {$22.00}. I had an automatic payment set up from my TD Bank checking account to TD Bank mortgage for {$1000.00} monthly and was never made aware of the change in payment. I happened to see the change XX/XX/XXXX, almost 8 months after the change and called up TD Bank. They had by that time charged me several fines of {$33.00} each, used my payments for payment of additional principal pay downs and in ways that even customer service agent also could not fully explain what the algorithm used for my payments. In any case, I brought myself up to date by paying the fines and made the additional payments in XX/XX/XXXX and requested that I be paid back the fines and my credit report be corrected. I have maintained a large balance in checking account at TD Bank and there was always sufficient cash available in the account to pay the additional {$22.00} per month. Since I have been a customer of TD Bank for over 8 years, I thought it would be a simple thing to get my credit corrected and fines credited back to me after the bank looks at the circumstances. However, TD Bank refused to do so. I strongly believe that the issue arose because of their customer service agent 's mistake and second because they failed to inform me when they were getting my mail returned to them. I would appreciate if you will take up the matter with TD Bank and have the matter sorted out. I would like to have fines returned and most importantly my credit corrected.

To whom it may concern, I feel that freedom mortgage is intentionally delaying the approval of my home refinance in order to gain more money out of me thru the increased fees of a rate expectation. On XXXX XXXX. XXXX I filed an application to refinance my home mortgage to pay off my credit card debt that I occurred in the repairs of my home. XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX to see if I was approved and I was informed that my application was canceled and no explanation as to why. So I re applied at the same interest rate and the same amount to be borrowed. It is now XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I still have no approval on my refinance and I received a notice of unrealistic demands from freedom mortgage In order to come to a decision. 1. Freedom mortgage wants XXXX from all of my employers in XXXX by XXXX XXXX. By law employers have until XXXX XXXX to send out XXXX and I have not received mine so I can not comply with the demand from freedom mortgage. 2 I have given freedom mortgage all the documents that were requested of me in a timely manner and gave my reasoning as to why I did n't have some documents in my possession and freedom mortgage knowingly understood and accepted my justifications. I will not be held responsible for the delay of the approval of my refinance or any changes included by the inaccuracy and unorganized ethnics of freedom mortgage.

There is an old utilities bill on my report that I disputed months ago. The agencies required ( XXXX ) hard copy proof of ID and residence which I sent. I never heard back except with the same report. They did not address the inquire. They also stated I had excessive numbers of inquires. That 's ca n't be the case except for VERY recently with one last month and one last week. These are my very first applications for credit in over 10 years. What else would constitute a inquire if it does not come from an application I fill out myself. There reports are hard to read, in super small and " XXXX '' like format on the printed page. It would be appreciated if they could update their report layout for better clarity and understanding.They do n't address your questions and bog you down with copies. 
I 've lived at the same address for over ( 6 ) years and have not applied for more than ( XXXX ) lines of credit. Only XXXX was a CC and that was only yesterday. The other was with a XXXX to XXXX loan that turned me down.

I then received a bill from the doctor 's office for {$530.00} of which my insurance paid {$160.00} stating that I owed the remaining {$370.00}. I repeatedly called ( XXXX has documentation that I called numerous times in regards to the charge in an attempt to resolve.
