Issue: Customer service / Customer relations — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

In connection with a Citibank credit card, we submitted CFPB complaint number XXXX, to which Citibank responded more than XXXX months ago, as follows : " [ Citi ] sent a letter to the customer and advised that because we value his business, we applied credits totaling {$1000.00} for the difference. '' Citibank 's statement was false ; no credit was ever applied or otherwise given. 

Our original complaint stated the following : " Prior to XXXX turning over its XXXX credit business to Citibank, XXXX resolved an account dispute with us, confirming in a recorded telephone call that we were entitled to a {$1000.00} credit and that such credit would be credited to our account forthwith. Before the credit was received, the transfer of the credit card business by XXXX to Citibank was competed. Citibank thereafter repeatedly promised ( in recorded telephone conversations ) to make good on the obligation it inherited from XXXX and complete the {$1000.00} credit forthwith. Citibank inexplicably has repeatedly failed, and now refuses, to complete the promised credit in violation of both its agreement to do so and in default of XXXX ' similar promise to which Citibank succeeded to. Citibank has even had some phony dispute resolution expert named XXXX XXXX pretend to be seeking a resolution of the matter. His promised response was never forthcoming, and his failure and refusal to return telephone calls confirms Citibank 's continuing bad faith in this matter. The dispute is unresolved after more than XXXX months and countless hours of effort by us and unfulfilled promises from XXXX and Citibank. ''

Company: I.C. System, Inc. (IL)

There is a collection account showing up on my credit report ( s ) that I believe to be invalid. This issue was addressed with this company over a year ago. I previously disputed this bill, which was originally with  XXXX. I requested billing statements to document where all the charges were coming from as all of the bills they sent me made reference to other alleged accounts, and I was never able to see where the original amount was coming from. Now, over a year later, this collection account is showing up on my credit again. I thought the issue was resolved when they couldn't produce all the original bills. I never received anything recently to give them cause to put this on my credit report again. This account needs to be removed immediately from all the credit bureaus.

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE (GA)

On Friday, XX/XX/2018, I logged into my Western Union account to send money to an individual I had sent money to in the past. I put in all the required information and checked the card information twice. I tried unsuccessfully 4 times to send the money as I kept getting an error message via the website. I then called my financial institution to see if there was an issue with my card and was told no, that funds were available that they could see the transactions put they were coming through as {$0.00}. I then tried again with my financial institution on the phone and the transaction was still declined via Western Union. I then called Western Union to see what the issue was. I was told that even though I had sent money to this person before using the same card, that Western Union had put a block on my card. I wasn't given a reason or anything. And then the representative said I could call someone else.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (AZ)

In XXXX XXXX my mortgage was permanently modified with Servicing Company XXXX XXXX. My mortgage payment has been {$900.00} since XX/XX/XXXX. I have been on time with all payments since that time. The loan was sold to XXXX and then NATIONSTAR in XXXX XXXX. My payments jumped to {$1000.00}. When I inquired they told me because of my escrow for insurance and taxes. I made immediate inquiry with XXXX County Tax Assessors office. They admitted to overcharging me by rating my house as a XXXX residence NOT my primary residence. I'v e never had a XXXX residence. They issued a refund check for XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX ( the wrong servicing company ) which I am trying to get corrected. Then I called my insurance company, they doubled my premium to {$1400.00}. so I canceled my policy and got a new XXXX for {$810.00}. Nationstar paid the {$810.00}, and I reimbursed them immediately so I could get my payment down. I acted quickly and got both my taxes and insurance corrected, that was 60 days ago, yet the taxes linger as an unresolved issue, nobody seems to know where the tax refund check went. The amount of that check was for {$330.00} and change. WHAT I 'M UPSET ABOUT IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY NATIONSATAR IS ASKING FROM ME OVER AND ABOVE FROM THE EXPECTED ESCROW EXPENSES : {$550.00}! I DID THE MATH AND THIS EXCEEDS THE 12 % ALLOWED UNDER section 10 of RESPA. I do n't believe I 'm being treated fairly and want to pay my own taxes and insurance thereby foregoing the need to send NATIONSTAR {$550.00} to sit in my account year after year. I want to change the terms of the ESCROW. And to be honest, I have budgeted {$900.00} a month not {$1000.00} @ month, and my daughter is getting married in 3 weeks and money is flying out of bank account for the wedding, and Nationstar is dragging their feet and still does n't have an adjusted mortgage payment for me. So far I qualify for " Pay for Success Program '' under HAMP principle reduction credits. Can anyone there please help me strip off my ESCROW, I can do a better job paying my own insurance and taxes! The Escrow statements are a nightmare!!!! Sincerely, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

My Uncle and I opened a Bank Of America credit card last year. Bank of America mailed out new credit cards without advising us. They said the cards went out activated. They said the cards must have been intercepted per Bank Of America 's customer service representative. Fraud charges were charged on the card, they all but accused us od doing it. The person that did the fraud was able to make charges, make fraudulent payments and charges in another country. Bank of America did not do their due diligence in protecting the account and our information. They also sent info to the credit bureau closed due to fraud by credit grantor which made it look like we did the fraud. So after all of this they are telling us they closed the account and we would have to reapply for a card. This should be illegal, so if they deny the credit card being reopened it 's negative and if they open it it 's a ding on our credit report. We should not be penalized for this. I am not going to ra apply, we should just be issued another card and we should be able to close the account not them. They punished us the customer for something we did not do. This is less than a bank and I believe the fraud is an inside job. Too much happened on the account for it to be an outsider. Please help us resolve this issue.

Company: BANK OF THE WEST (NV)

We have had fraudulent use of our credit cards over the past few years, so we applied for a new card with a smaller company. We charged about {$1000.00} on the card and signed up for online statements. We waited for a statement that did not come. We kept getting error messages that stated " Online banking is temporarily unavailable. '' We called numerous times to see why the password was not working. We were on the phone with Bank of the West customer service for over XXXX XXXX hours one time with them trying to get into our account. Finally, we asked for regular mailed statements so that we could verify that the charges were legitimately ours. We made a payment of that amount, but did not include the late payment fee that they charged us -- which was not our fault as the company could not get us an invoice, and the customer service rep stated that we would not have to pay. We canceled that card as we saw that this bank could not properly handle credit cards. The bank has sent us more invoices with late fees on top of late fees. We have phoned and written numerous letters to the bank to try and resolve this problem, but they simply do not understand that we do not owe them late fees and continue to send us late notices.

Initially, arrangements were made between both of us for full repayment by XXXX XXXX, 2016. No Promissory Note was done as she said it was okay without one. I repaid her {$2000.00} of the {$3500.00}. I was having difficulty with my source of funds, so she told me to repay her in small amounts. She then decided shortly after telling me to pay her back in small amounts that she needed the balance by the end of XXXX 2016. I informed her that it was not possible and I would pay her on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Sometime in XXXX 2016, she contacted her bank and reported the first payment as a fraudulent transaction. The bank ruled in her favour and returned the money to her.I spoke with the bank and was informed that I was not a customer of the Bank and they have to protect the interest of their clients. I attempted to get back my money from this woman, she told me that she is waiting for me to take her to Small Claims Court. She is also denying that she loaned me the {$2500.00}. I physically visited the bank and showed the representative the text messages. She discussed this with her manager who instructed her to inform me that there is nothing they can do as they have to protect their client and I would have to go through the courts. I can not afford a lawyer and being repaid in small amounts will not assist me to pay the University.
