Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

I have been given incorrect information by XXXX different Capital One employees, and I do not feel that my complaint will be handled accurately. I have requested to fill out HIPPA Form to receive copies of my calls and was told that is illegal. I am requesting your assistance to help me resolve my issue. 
My first complaint is that I am being charged over and excessive amounts for my cash advance and have been given different information by XXXX different people : I spoke with XXXX supervisors regarding paying off my cash advance so that I can stop accruing interest. I am currently interest free on purchases. I spoke with a supervisor in XXXX XXXX to go over amounts I needed to pay. Next, I spoke with supervisor XXXX in the XXXX, FL office on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I called Capital One to have a late fee waived because I have never been late on my account. I spoke with XXXX and as a courtesy he waived the fee. We discussed in great detail the amount I would need to pay, in order to pay off the {$600.00} cash advance and stop accruing interest. I asked him very specific questions about my account. He said I would need to pay {$880.00}. I paid {$900.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I called in on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX to see what would be available and a rep advised me the full {$900.00} would be available at XXXX, because I satisfied the cash advance. Only {$860.00} became available, so I called back in and spoke with supervisor XXXX, to discuss what applied to the account, and she said I would need to pay an additional {$47.00} in order to pay off cash advance. I stated that was incorrect and excessive. She explained I had a previous balance of {$100.00}. I explained that is part of next month payment which according to XXXX I would not have to pay because cash advance would be satisfied. I explained to her that XXXX and the supervisor before him gave me great detail on what I needed to pay. I did not have XXXX 's name and location at the time I spoke with XXXX. Once I found his info, I called back in spoke with supervisor XXXX and she requested I file a complaint in writing after XXXX told me she had already submitted my complaint. I am furious, as a consumer, this information is difficult for me to understand, but what do I do when the employees of the company obviously do n't understand, have no knowledge of their products, and are obviously not on the same page??? 

My Second Complaint is that I was advised that I would be interest free for 1 year by signing up for the card, and XXXX advised me that I am only interest free for 10 months ending XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (AE)

After discovering that my daughter was involved in a social media money scam, my husband and I contacted USAA informing them that multiple fraudulent transactions were being deposited and withdrawn from the account. Even after several calls on the XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX, USAA continued to allow funds to be withdrawn and checks deposited on XX/XX/XXXX. We also filed a police report and submitted the information to USAA as well. We are a military family currently residing in XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. The transactions were made in the XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXarea. It is very frustrating that after making multiple phone calls and submitting a fraud claim USAA is still holding my husband and liable for the full amount. While we understand that our daughter made a terrible mistake, USAA should have stopped all transactions from going through on this account. We have also been informed by a USAA representative name XXXX that the account activity that reported as being unauthorized was never flagged as fraudulent and were just allowed to go through. The account has been overdrawn for XXXX and now they have offset our accounts, which is financially devastating our family and leaving us unable to pay our mortgages and car bills. They have applied a temporary credit on the fraudulent transactions but have still frozen our accounts while they are conducting their investigation. It is my understanding that the purpose of the credits are to keep their customers life from being interrupted while they conduct their investigation? This is just disheartening because of the number of years we have been with USAA ( almost 20 ). Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (TX)

This is a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, VA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, XXXX XXXX has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I checked my statement online to confirm my direct payroll deposit had come in. While viewing my account, I noticed my savings account balance was lower than it should be. I found two suspicious ATM transactions. Specifically, two {$100.00} withdrawals five days apart. I have no recollection of either transactions, and I never make ATM withdrawals from my savings account. I spoke with XXXX in the Claims department and filed a dispute for the two transactions with Wells Fargo. Since I could not positively deny the transactions without personally viewing the ATM security footage, I agreed to put the disputes on hold until I could see the footage for myself. He said he could not send me copies of the footage, but that I could view them at a Wells Fargo branch. He marked the dispute closed, but told me I could reopen the claim if the footage did not show me as the person making the withdrawals. Out of an abundance of caution, my ATM card was cancelled, Wells Fargo agreed to send me a new one, and I was told I could pick up a temporary card at a branch. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I went to a Wells Fargo branch in XXXX XXXX XXXX ( where one of the suspicious transactions occurred ). I was given a temporary ATM card. However, I was told I could not view the security footage from the transactions. They did n't know why Wells Fargo claims would even tell me I could, that that is not their policy. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I placed multiple calls to Wells Fargo to get some answers. During one call, I was left on hold for over an hour. On another call, I was left on hold for over 1-1/2 hours. Once again, different people gave me conflicting answers. XXXX XXXX ( sp ) suggested I open a new claim and transferred me to XXXX in the Claims Assistance Center. He told me the same lie XXXX told me, that I could view the security footage at the branch. He also told me that, once the claim was closed, it could not be re-opened and I could not open a new complaint

XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. However, I was traveling that day to XXXX, Hawaii. I did not receive the message until XXXX XXXX Hawaii time ( 3 hour time difference ) They had advised me that if I did not call by XXXX XXXX ( MT ) that my payment would be late ( 30 days ). This was a complete oversight for not making the payment in time as I had thought I made the payment. I immediately made the payment via online that very day. I checked the website again the next day, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and the payment did not post so therefore I made another payment. I ended up calling XXXX to make sure they received my payment as they advised me that there was two payments of {$820.00}. She said I should cancel one as  they did in fact receive the first payment. XXXX still marked me as a 30 day late. I have had an account with them for 5 years and have never been late. I asked if they would make a one time exception for remove the 30 day late given the circumstances but they did not. This greatly effects my credit and the ability to get another car. I would like to keep my account with XXXX but if this does not get handled then I will not be a customer again come the end of my lease term.
