Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OR)

On XX/XX/2022 XXXX took funds from my checking account in the amount of {$8.00} without my express consent. I didnt have funds in my wells fargo checking account at the time but pay Wells Fargo {$25.00} annually to keep open a 5k personal line of credit. The line of credit had more than enough credit available to cover the {$8.00}. Instead of covering the {$8.00} with my personal line of credit, Wells Fargo instead charged me a {$35.00} nsf. I realized what happened on XX/XX/2022 and immediately covered the {$8.00}. When I contacted Wells Fargo to reimburse the fee, they rejected my request and only reimbursed {$8.00} out of the {$35.00}. I have not requested any fee reimbursement prior to this event. I spoke with multiple representatives and no one helped me solve the issue.

I have reached out to all 3 credit bureaus about hard inquiries and the soft inquiries from pre approved credit cards on my accounts.

XXXX miles crossed out with a red mark on advertisement on AMEX website. Spent the XXXX in the first month. They awarded me XXXX miles. After escalating the issue they claim I didnt sign up for XXXX miles. And apparently NOBODY can show me proof of when the promo started and when I applied to show that the promotion was indeed in effect. Baiting, switching, and then insisting that a brand new customer is lying is not a good way to start off a relationship of loyalty. Especially when that customer is spending money.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (IN)

I have had a US Bank mortgage loan since 2009. I have not been late once until recently when I was being XXXX. I had called US Bank in hopes of deferring a payment until I could visit XXXX, to just defer 1 payment. Upon calling I was treated very rudely, I was told I could not discuss anything with them about a deferral or a late payment until I was in fact late. This was very stressful, knowing what was ahead me was not going to be easy. My auto loan company accommodated my requests with no questions asked and wished me the best. US Bank on the other hand basically told me " too bad ''. I did as they told me to - call back after my loan due date. This was after 2 long trips XXXX. I was n't well and they were still not allowing me any options. They asked for my financial information. I explained I was looking for them to do anything other than just defer a payment during this difficult time. I 'm a single mother XXXX. I promised I would not be late the following month and mentioned I was going to put the house up for sale so I could take care of what I needed to. They said XXXX XXXX, make a regular payment on time, which I did. I was unable to do online, I was forced to call in and they were trying to charge me {$11.00}. Then XXXX XXXX I would begin making regular payments + an additional {$300.00} a month +, for 5 months, to pay back my XXXX XXXX bill. When I did the math I was confused that they were charging me almost $ 300+ for being late. They would not offer me any other options only the option to be raked over the coals for the next 5 months. I have been paying on time since XXXX 2009. My interest is more than {$700.00} per payment and only {$230.00} going towards principal and interest. They could not tell my why I was paying so much penalties. I have reached out to them several times to find a better option with no change. How can a mortgage company be so brutal? The only other option I can think of is an attorney. They have sent me numerous rude letters stating, " You are in default of your mortgage terms '', then it lists out options that are not feasible, including " short sale '', " modification '', " pre-foreclosure sale '' " deed-in-lieu '' of foreclosure, etc ... These are all scary things to see when you 're one payment past due and facing XXXX. I am going to continue to search for a way to stop US Bank. Hopefully I will be able to find a way to make them stop. I am someone 's mom, someone 's daughter and a human being. I can only think US Bank is being managed by robots with no feelings and no compassion for life. One day with the CEO and all the employees their face the end of their lifespan, maybe they can remember all the people they treated so coldly and did n't offer options to. I 'm not asking for handout. I was only asking to defer a payment with no penalties till I could catch up that one month.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI)

On XX/XX/XXXX I went into a local Fifth Third Bank because I had a check to deposit and I had been unable to login to my 5/3 app, so I wanted to see if they could fix it. They fixed my app login and when I logged in I saw that my savings account had less money in it then it should. I looked at the transaction history and saw that on XX/XX/XXXX a check ( # XXXX ) was posted for {$8800.00} to XXXX XXXX, whom I do not know. Then on XX/XX/XXXX there was another check ( # XXXX ) posted for {$5600.00} to XXXX XXXX, a person I also do not know. I have never bought checks during my time as a 5/3 member. The signatures on the checks were not mine. It was after business hours, so I called the dispute team on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with a lady and they emailed me paperwork to fill out. I returned the Statement of Fraud paperwork back to the 5/3 dispute team on XX/XX/XXXX via email. My case number is XXXX. I received a letter from them in the mail today that was dated XX/XX/XXXX. The letter states that my transaction dispute for {$14000.00} was denied because " the time frame for submitting a disputed transaction is thirty days after your related statement end date. Unfortunately, the dispute was submitted outside of that time frame. '' They never informed me that there was a window for dispute claims when I had called them on XX/XX/XXXX, and that was 30 days after the related statement.

Issue: Transaction issue — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ)

Sir/Ma'am, Citibank claims to have paid the vendor - XXXX ( a business based out of XXXX XXXX , Florida, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Contact : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), {$980.00} on my behalf through my credit card account in XXXX 2015. 

They paid the vendor initially through my credit card account ending with XXXX, then reversed the amount when I disputed it. Then they closed the account ending with XXXX and provided me a new card ending with XXXX. 

Subsequently, they charged the full amount of {$980.00} back to the account ending with XXXX. 

The vendor who owes me a refund of the full amount ( {$980.00} ), claims that Citi Card never paid them the second time after reversing the charge the first time. I have been calling up Citi Card customer service for the past 5 months to get proof of payment made to the vendor so that I can submit the proof with the vendor and receive my full refund. I have already paid Citi Cards as part of my monthly payment. 

Citi bank refuses to provide any sort of proof. They keep hoodwinking me after making me jump from one person to another and making me wait on the line for 45 minutes to one hour every time I call. They claim that they will email the proof to my email address and they never send it. And they refuse to stay on the line until I receive the email. They promise me that someone will call me back and no one does. 

It 's been five months and I have no clue where my money is ( {$980.00} ). 

Citi bank tells me it is with the vendor 's holding bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and the vendor, XXXX, tells me their bank never received the payment from Citi. 

I have, frustratingly, been patient with both the vendor and Citi bank for the last 5 months and I 'm coming to you as a last resort. 

If Citi bank can provide me or the vendor with proof of payment, then I can receive the refund from the vendor. 

The vendor also asked me to ask Citi bank to open a formal investigation with their compliance department but Citi refuses to do so. 

They even refuse to provide me with a case number and I have to explain the situation every time I call to every person that my call is transferred to. 

They have harassed me for the last 5 months and have not been straight forward or helpful. 
Thanks & RegardsI demand that Citi resolve this issue immediately and help me in getting my money ( {$980.00} ) either through a refund from the vendor or recompensating me directly, depending on which party has my money.

On XX/XX/2021, I had purchased 2 XXXX XXXX prepaid SIMs from XXXX using XXXX for payment who then changed my credit card with Chase for {$190.00}. XXXX XXXX refused to activate the SIMs. This was due to the representative limited access to their provisioning system and directed me to get my money back. A complaint was filed with the FCC on XXXX XXXX 's lack of competence ( PDF attached ). XXXX directed me to their website for a refund, however, they would not accept returns on open items which is unacceptable. XXXX had been useless in the past with refunds. I had used Chase 's online dispute process. Chase had credited and then rebilled the charges stating that XXXX found no billing error ( PDF attached ). This is untrue as XXXX 's website states there is a chargeback under review for an item not received ( PDF attached ). XXXX 's website is limited and is not capable of stating the actual issue of services not rendered and included 2 items.
