Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: UMPQUA HOLDINGS CORPORATION (WA)

Umpqua bank allowed a transaction of {$180.00} out of my checking account from a garnishment, then charged me an additional {$120.00} in fees. My paycheck that Friday was only {$300.00} and my checking account consisted of only XXXX dollars and change prior to my direct deposited check. They wiped my entire account to XXXX balance then closed it. When I requested all funds be refunded as that was my very last paycheck prior to going on XXXX which could take weeks to process prior to receiving any payment at all. I 'm a single mom with now not a dime to feed, clothe or shelter my own children. I did not have the funds to garnish, I did not have a phone call, a letter or any notification of this transaction and if I had I could have paid the garnishment and at least had XXXX to feed my children. This was a violation of my rights and should be illegal,, I 've been robbed from my own financial institution who I have trusted. This bank is refusing to help me in this matter in fact blaming it on the creditor XXXX, stating they should be responsible for the fines and fees ... .but here 's my question " should n't the creditor and the bank allowing a garnishment have the same laws set before them to fully understand the allowed amounts to be taken according to the amount in the account? They took more than double 25 % of my wages that week and Umpqua finished my account off after. They are XXXX.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Robinson, Reagan and Young PLLC (WA)

XXXX XXXX has wrongly submitted a collection action against me. I began new service with XXXX XXXX, and have nothing but consistent billing errors ( always overbilling ). It has been very difficult working with their customer service department to resolve the issues, but a couple of months ago, I thought everything had finally been resolved, and I suddenly received a collection notice on a bill I was unaware existed. XXXX XXXX refuses to recall the notice, and told me to pay the bill and I would have to deal with the credit reporting bureau on my own. This is unlawful as this bill is in dispute, and I do not believe it is owed. Additionally XXXX XXXX has very confusing billing practices, that confuse not only customers but their customer service group. When I contacted XXXX XXXX they also confirmed they did not show an outstanding balance. Here is the monthly copy of my bill. Since working with their customer service, and resolving all of the disputed amounts, or so I thought, I have not received a notice from XXXX XXXX that there was even an outstanding balance. I will not be blackmailed into paying a bill I was not aware I owed, by threatening me with collection actions. I have outstanding credit and will not allow XXXX XXXX to use these strong arm tactics. I pulled a XXXX report, which I have included as an attachment, and it is showing a consistent trend that they are using these unlawful tactics with everyone. Noticed, the complaints are never on the side of under billing, they are consistently on overbilling issues. And their customer service group is not resolvoing the issues corrected. When calls and discussion happen, I have requested they put it in writing because of all of the errors and miss billings and they refuse. This is also unlawful, since they are quoting pricing and locking consumers into three year contracts. They are not charging what they are quoting and we do n't find out until months later as we are trying to sort through the billing.

I have complained to the XXXX, the veterans department, FTC and the IRS with no luck. Everyone gives you there number, I got there number.

This is another government agency that is totally flawed. There is some " XXXX XXXX '' donuts eating XXXX waiting to collect a pension not serving people because they are lazy and think they have power. {$220.00} isn't anything, but its mine. I plan to claim a loss on my taxes for {$220.00} as a way to get my money back, that's how I deal with the government.

Original account was under XXXX XXXX and was taken over by another bank, First Citizens bank in XX/XX/XXXX. Owner of account, elder man, suffered from personal problems and was not able to setup login to be able to receive statements after transition. His accountant/representative was asked to reconcile the bank for year end XXXX and had to get access to the online banking. Rep found ACH debits every month, {$1600.00}, since XX/XX/XXXX. The accountant called the bank, XX/XX/XXXX to notify that the transactions are not legitmate. Client was asked to contact the vendor but vendor is a property management company who can not help. Rep called bank again and was instructed to go to branch for assiatance, and was told by brance to file claim and that bank will be able to recoup money from XXXX through XXXX total {$6600.00}. The previous {$3400.00} can not be reversed. File was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX letter received from ACH Dept saying investigation was done and no money can be recouped as the 60 days had passed and there was no discrepancy found. Called bank again on XX/XX/XXXX talked to supervisor to refute the " no discrepancy statement by bank ''. Docs sent by bank that shows name of person that originated the ACH, is not any way related to the account holder, not a signor or authorized user. There was nothing to relate the transaction to the accoutn holder. The only debit that comes out of the account are checks that are written and signed by accoutn holder. No atm transaction are ever made. There was no notice of any ACH authorization request received from the bank before the amount was taken out, to notify the account holder that there is a questionable transaction that was made. Bank claims that account holder should have reported the fraud within a certain amount of time. We feel that they, as a banking institution and member of NACHA should protect their clients as per NACHA rules and requirements. They should have gone through strict due diligence as to their ACH transactions.

This collection agency keeps harassing me about an account that was a predatory loan. I will literally be paying this debt until I am dead. I asked them to verify the debt and requested the original debt amount and contract with my signatures, because the amount they are trying to collect is not the original loan amount. It has been over 45 days and they have not sent me proper validation. No bill, no statement, no contract.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent Transunion multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Transunion 's responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.
