Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO (AR)

I opened a savings account with Popular Direct, a subsidiary of Popular Bank, on XX/XX/XXXX of 2023. I proceeded to fund the account with {$5000.00}, which was well beyond the required {$100.00}. The funds were marked as received on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in the mail, postmarked on XX/XX/XXXX, that informed me that my account would be closed " pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Personal Banking Disclosure and Agreement ''. The letter went on to state that " as of the date of this letter, the total balance in the Account is {$100.00} ''. Not only was the letter postmarked on the same day that I funded the account, but the account balance described in the letter was inaccurate. These facts made me suspicious, so I called Popular Direct 's customer service. I provided my account number and personal information in order to verify ownership of the account. I asked the representative to look into why my account was to be closed. After being placed on hold for approximately 8 minutes, I was informed that my account was being closed and that he could not provide me any information as to why due to " bank policy and security reasons ''. Despite the strange circumstances, I attempted to further understand the reasoning and inquire about the timing for receiving my deposit. He again placed me on hold, and when he returned, he informed me that the closure would be processed on XX/XX/XXXX, and that the money and a letter detailing the closure would not be returned to me until 7-10 business days after XX/XX/XXXX.

Product: Debt collection — Medical
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Halsted Financial Services, LLC. (CA)

This debt is from XX/XX/XXXX. It has been payed in full. 
The first I have heard of this was last year, ( XX/XX/XXXX ), in XX/XX/XXXX, when XXXX attempted to collect on this. 
The originator of the debt, ( a hospital just outside of XXXX ), has since closed. After many attempts, I was unable to find anyone involved that might be of help. 

I originally payed a lump sum and had the remainder come out of my checking account, via direct deposit. This resulted in the account being payed in full. 

After no luck with the hospital and no luck dealing with XXXX, In XX/XX/XXXX I contacted all XXXX credit bureaus and submitted the information I had. They decided that this debt was unfounded and had the negative remarks pulled from my credit score. 
That was just last month. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Halsted Financial Institute attempting to collect on the same debt. 
I contacted them on the telephone and tried to explain my situation. 
I believe that XXXX just offloaded this case to them, selling a bunk debt, after realizing that they could n't collect on it. 

If you could please assist, it would be great help. I do n't want to go through all of this again, or until the end of time. I 'm not sure what to do at this point. 
I do appreciate your time. 
Thank you very much, XXXX

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NY)

I was discriminated against at M & T bank, the manager denied me of withdrawing my funds for no apparent reasons. He told me he won't pay me this is above his pay grade. He froze my account and blocked my debit card. I told him the wire came from my other account and I can show him all the details along with my online account. He said he doesn't want to see anything and he threatened to call the cops on me.

At this point I have things to do financially, everything is on hold for me. I have called the call center and various M & T branches to have it resolve, no one seems to help. I also left numerous messages for him to call him, up to now no call back.

The manager name is XXXX. I have also attached my verification letter from my other bank account where the funds were original wired from.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL)

I contacted Chase Bank to assist me with XXXX Chase cards who 's interest rates on the debt have imposed financial hardship on our family of XXXX, with XXXX children in College. While we always pay our debts, even cashing in much of our retirement to do so, Chase 's unwillingness to consolidate the {$14000.00} on my accounts and lower the interest rates inhibit my ability to pay off the principal balances, and threaten the well-being of my family. Chase offers numerous opportunities for kids of different races to lift themselves up, and posts pictures of " One Republic '' concerts, and yet can not help the average American family who is honestly trying to do the right thing. I could just not pay the bill and let it go into bankruptcy, but yet I am trying to pay what I owe. This is a massive bank offering Chase Slate members 0 percent balance transfers for 15 months ... why can they not help me put this {$14000.00} debt into one place and assist me with my efforts to pay what I owe? And Chase Bank is claiming " Corporate Responsibility! '' They are only responsible for leading the American Family into massive consumer debt and relying on Social welfare in their retirement, when they have none to rely on, because they are too busy scamming the consumer on interest rates that are prohibitive : 29.9 % - 16 % ( My interest rates. )

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA)

Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I signed in online to to check my bank account with Bank of America. 
XXXX large debit charges for XXXX and XXXX were listed on my account. I do not have funds in my bank account to cover these charges. 

I called Bank of America thinking that these XXXX charges were fraudulent. The representative informed me that these were legal holds from the state of Indiana. I asked if I had any rights to refuse these charges, and I was given the number for the Indiana XXXX  XXXX XXXX : XXXX I lived in Indiana from XXXX while working as a professor at Indiana University XXXX XXXX. In XXXX I moved to Vermont and then several years later I moved to my current address in Massachusetts, where I have lived for over a decade while working as a professor at a small XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I do not know what these charges represent and was not notified in advance of any impending deduction. I am also concerned that the statute of limitations on this debt may have expired. Now I do not have money to pay any of my bills. It is quite upsetting. 

When I looked online, I learned that Bank of America has been sanctioned by the Consumer Finance Bureau for allowing out-of-state garnishments of bank accounts and paychecks. This was just XXXX year ago, and the bank agreed to clean up its systems. They obviously are continuing to subject consumers to this illegal practice. 

Here is the link to the article on your web site, " CFPB Orders Bank of America to Pay {$10.00} Million Penalty for Illegal Garnishments '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Massachusetts has clear laws governing how much can be deducted from bank accounts and paychecks. According to XXXX, " In Massachusetts, the most a creditor can garnish from your wages is the lesser of : 15 % of your gross wages ( that is, before taxes or other mandatory deductions are taken out ) or. your disposable income less XXXX times the greater of the federal or the Massachusetts hourly minimum wage per week. '' I am dismayed that Bank of America would disregard the rights of its customers in this way and that my XXXX years as a customer with Bank of America did not warrant even an advance notification. I am also upset that despite the Consumer Protection Bureau 's order, issued in XXXX, the bank has ignored the Consumer Protection Bureau 's order to clean up its systems to halt these illegal out of state garnishments of bank accounts. 

Please help if you can.
