Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Receivables Performance Management, LLC (AL)

I called XXXX when I first got this bill. I was charged an amount for collect calls that was different than advertised. On the phone my son called me collect from was a sticker that said {$1.00} for XXXX or XXXX mins? but ended up being {$23.00} per XXXX minutes. I would have never accepted a collect call at {$23.00} for XXXX mins. So XXXX said we would dispute it, immediately closed that account and opened me a new XXXX. Giving me my same # XXXX XXXX told me I would only be responsible for what I owed them ( XXXX ) for my regular phone service. Then I get contacted by collections for the whole amount. I tell them the agreement and a lady at Receivables Performance agrees to the terms also. Later I apply for a loan for a car and find that on the day of XXXX XXXX 2015 when I made an agreement with RP to pay what I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX ( minus the collect call charges ) @ {$25.00} a month they then put it on my credit report.

Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (OH)

I am the primary account holder of a checking account at Huntington National Bank. About three weeks ago I noticed a withdrawal of {$34.00} from my bank account and had not made any such withdrawal myself. Being curious, I called the Bank and asked what the withdrawal was. I was told that an account linked to mine had been negative and they were offsetting. After finally getting more information I found out that because my Mother is the secondary account holder of my account and the secondary account holder of my sisters account ( which at the time was negative ), huntington had pulled the amount from my account to fix my sisters account. However, It was n't til long after the complaint that I found this out. I had called on XXXX XXXX, and asked for a return phone call which never came, so on XXXX XXXX, I called them back and explained the situation again and after sitting on hold for a very long time was told that even though the other account was now positive, that the bank was keeping the money. After asking to speak to a manager/supervisor I was told all managers and supervisors were in meetings and I 'd have to leave a voicemail and they would get back to me the very same day. Of course I have not heard back from them. I understand that a bank is in business to make money and part of the way they do that is by collecting fees, however, taking from XXXX to give to another and then keeping for yourself is very questionable. I 'm a student who pays tuition and is on student loans trying to make it on my own, and {$34.00} is a lot of money to someone who on good days struggles to keep a positive balance. I 'm not asking for anything, but my money back. I 've been a Huntington Customer for many years, more than 10 years to be honest, and I have never been more upset with a financial institution than I am right now.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (VA)

i got a promo code of XXXX Citi points alongwith opening Citi Gold checking account. There were additional requirements that i had fulfilled and the XXXX points were supposed to be posted after 90 days of account opening/meeting requirements. The points never posted. I got in touch with the Citigold representative multiple times, had XXXX separate long phone calls on all of which they acknowledged that i had met the requirements and the points would post in next few days. each time i waited and nothing happened. Then upon further inquiry i was told that Citi has done their internal investigation and found that I was n't targeted for the promotion so I was n't eligible. i have proof/screenshots of the promotion offer that i saw onscreen after i opened the Citigold account. So i told Citi that offer me a chance to prove that I got a confirmation of this promotional offer after I opened the account. I was never offered a chance to provide proof. They just plainly denied and repeated their findings that I was n't targeted. I feel cheated and foolish that I was taken for a ride. I read online that a CFPB complain may help to resolve the issue. For the time being i have dowgraded my checking account at Citi so I do n't have to keep on paying a fee of XXXX $ /Month and also being cheated off the XXXX offer. Please help and advise. I am attaching the word doc of screenshots that shows the offer of XXXX points with opening up Citigold account and it shows my name/account number after opening.
