Consumer complaint received 08/25/2016 about Credit card () with DISCOVER BANK (OK).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I received at unverified email from Discover concerning a past due amount on my account of approximately {$37.00}. I 've never had a missed payment with Discover, so immediately called the number on the email. The next 20 minute were the most invasive, pressure filled customer service encounter I 've ever experienced. The operator proceeded to tell me that I had only paid {$30.00} of a {$67.00} bill and I had been accessed a late fee of {$27.00} and interest penalty ; however, if I authorized her to get into my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account she could take my money. In shock about her knowing my bank account number and threatening to access the account, I explained that I was driving and preferred to wait until I returned home to review my statement, payment history, and to make sure this was n't a scam. Immediately, the representative asked why I would doubt she was legit, because I called her? She stated that unless I gave her permission to access my XXXX XXXX XXXX account or made an phone payment, I would be penalized. Again, I explained I did n't feel comfortable giving her access to my banking account. At this point, I felt very uncomfortable and bullied. Remember ... I 've never missed a payment. Why was I being bullied by a collector for a {$37.00} payment 10 days past due? She then insisted on taking my cash rewards of {$38.00}. When I refused she again applied undo pressure. I refused all of her offers and her tone changed from aggressive to anger. I let the call with, I 'll contact customer service when I get home. I made a mistake on the payment and immediately called the number listed on my statement. The represenrative seemed to be sympathetic to my situation at first, but then immediately went into collection mode with the same barrage of questions, including having access to my checking account. She used my rewards to bring the account current but refused to reverse any charges because I would n't pay next months bill in advance. She asked me a lot of questions almost like an interrogation. At this point, I had had it ; refused to answer any more questions and explains that I had taken all I was going to take in one day. It was the most brutal customer service experience I can ever remember encountering. I am a XXXX. In my 21 years in this position and XXXX I do n't know that I have ever experienced anything like my two experiences today with Discover Card. As a long time loyal customer, I will sever ties with Discover Card, and will communicate with the CEO my incredible experience.

Consumer complaint received 07/29/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My mortgage was sold to Greentree servicing. Due to medical issues, I fell XXXX month behind on my mortgage. I spoke with someone at greentree and told them I was planning to pay extra every month to catch up. I then became only XXXX behind. I then was put into foreclosure ... for being XXXX behind. I called greentree, they told me they mailed me a letter telling me to be current by a specific date. I never got this letter. They then stopped accepting payments from me, and told me I had to make pay all past due amounts at once. This included a check they cashed but put into holding, but did not reduce the amount I owed. It took a few months ( XXXX ) to get them to come up with the right amount that included that cashed check. I then attemped to pay the amount past due in total. I was informed that they sent an email to legal and had to wait for a response before they could accept payment in full. ( due to the foreclosure fees they needed to get info on ) I was constantly told to call back the next day, I did, eventually they began saying call back in a week, I did.. then it became nothing by being sent to voicemail and no one returning my calls. This occurred for a full year. I was then massively behind. At my wits end and months away from being kicked out of my home, I contacted XXXX. Only then did greentree talk to me about my mortgage again. They told me I only had XXXX option in the modification that extended my loan from XXXX more years, to XXXXXXXX XXXX! They then tacked on over {$10000.00} to my principle balance.. They claimed this was a charge for " capitol '' I now owe MORE on my mortgage than when I bought my home in XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted greentree to find out what this " capital '' was and they will only give the answer " Its just capitol on the mortgage '' That is not an answer. Bottom line, is that I had to modify a mortgage due to their negligence, and they get to add XXXX XXXX dollars to my principle balance. Contacting them has not gotten anything resolved. They went from being harassing and threatening me, to avoiding and causing extreme financial issues that could of been completely avoided.

Consumer complaint received 12/23/2016 about Debt collection (Medical) with Grant & Weber (OH).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: To whom it may concern, I spoke to a rep at your office this morning ( XXXX XXXX ). He was unwilling to work with me on my debt even after I offered to make payments on my account. He told me if I did n't pay off the account within XXXX days he would report it on my credit bureau. I explained my personal situation to him and he was unphased by it. it was the bottom line or nothing. In my research online I read that many collections agencies by debt for pennies on the dollar and have the ability to work with people to come to an arrangement to benefit all. This person was unwilling to do so. I have filed a complaint with the FTC and CFPB. There has to be someone out there to protect consumers from this type of bullying. I can argue all day long how the medical group handled this situation and how I even got to collections in the first place but that is neither here nor there. I do question the validity of this debt and claim. I am XXXX positive and this is very stressful. I live day to day and try to make ends meet. Consider this my notification to your office.

Consumer complaint received 11-04-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: My identity was stolen in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter from the FBI n XX/XX/XXXX notifying me of that fact. Then in XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from American Express informing me that my credit line was being reduced from {$11000.00} down to {$5900.00} and cash advances of {$200.00} the reason and information was based on information provided by XXXX. My credit score was as high as XXXX. During that time I sent several letters to all of the credit agencies to correct my credit files. I tried to make sure that the agencies had accurate information. After reviewing my old letters, I remembered that I also had at those credit monitoring services one with XXXX and one with XXXX and they really did n't catch anything. I lost confidence in the service because one of the crooks was monitoring my account as well. 

To this day ever since I wrote letters to XXXX canceling my monitoring service and complaining about their service, it seems like I 've been placed on their enemies lists. I do n't know if one really exists, but here 's what I mean. My American Express credit limit is still {$5900.00} and {$200.00} in cash advance. I paid the balance off back in XX/XX/XXXX and nothing has changed since that time. Even after I got the police report and became a confirmed victim of Identity theft and I never missed a payment on any account. Wrote several times correcting everything. XXXX was especially slow about updating my files until I sent a letter saying I was trying to refi my home and all of a sudden they cleaned my file up to an extent. Over the years they have continued to play games, 2 years ago I had another back and forth to remove a lien error. The exchange was brief but I sent a few letter and it really was the only negative item on my file other than card balances. I am refinancing my home now and 2 out 3 credit reporting agencies have my credit history as too short or insufficient. XXXX and XXXX. XXXX has my credit score at XXXX and all of the lenders are using XXXX low score to quote me a loan. I got a quote from XXXX they only used XXXX 's score. I got a quote from XXXX XXXX they are only using XXXX 's low score and key factors on credit score form. Which states that length of revolving account history is too short. 

It seems as though XXXX is retaliating against me and keeping my score at the lowest possible range score it can justify and then also obscure my credit history by throwing in some XXXX like " length of time revolving accounts have been established is too short. '' When they know full well I have an extensive credit history. I have filed a similar compliant but once i looked at my old notes I wanted to add more. XXXX is no saint either. They are telling the same lie in attempt to present me as a risky borrower despite my 27 year excellent credit history. Completely unfair.

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (FL).
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint: I applied for credit with Best Buy ( Citi Bank ) online. I was approved the same date and made a purchase on the Bestbuy.com website for approximately {$3900.00} The motivation for using their credit card was 10 % cash back offer. I received purchase confirmation from the store and the balance appeared on the credit card web login page. I paid the amount in full via electronic payment from my bank. XXXX days later I received a notice from the store stating the purchase was cancelled due to the payment being withdrawn. I contacted Bestbuy credit ( Citibank ) who advised me they had a fraud alert on the account. I provided all my personal information to them. They stated their practice is to cross reference a public record from a cell phone account to verify my identity ( something that was not done to approve the new account ). I only have a pay as you go-no contract phone so they could not confirm my identity via their normal methods. I requested the account to be closed and the {$3900.00} I paid to be refunded to the account it was paid from. They said since they could not confirm that I was who I said I was they would not process my request. Now I have no product and I do not have the {$3900.00} I paid to them and they refuse to refund my account.

Consumer complaint received 05/14/2015 about Credit card () with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: Approximately two years ago I opened up a secure credit card with Wells Fargo Bank for {$1000.00}. Over the course of this last year in 2014 I have experienced some financial hardships. However, at this time I am trying to repair my credit ; the XXXX step was to deposit into the holders of my credit cards. I have XXXX with XXXX XXXX and a secured card with Wells Fargo. The account with Wells Fargo is a secured XXXX credit card ; I made a {$1000.00} deposit 2 years ago. I was over the credit limit allowed for several months. On XXXX XXXX I made a payment into the Wells Fargo secured card for {$1100.00} to date the money has not yet been available to me. I have made several phone calls over the last 7 days and I was informed that there was a hold placed on the deposit to ensure it was clear from my bank. I informed them the money had posted to my XXXX XXXX XXXX account and was no longer available to me and that it should have been credited to the Wells Fargo account. Finally after one week of a waiting for these funds to be available I have been informed today that the account was closed on XXXX XXXX. After the card underwriter in the credit services department at Wells Fargo reviewed my credit history she informed me that they would not be able to reopen my Wells Fargo secured card a nd then I was tranferred back to the customer services dept of the credit services department I was told I would not be receiving my refund of the {$1000.00} dollars collateral for at least 45 to 60 days. I expressed my profound disappointment and anger as I need these funds for my day to day living. I have bills that desperately need to be paid and my intent was to pay them from the funds deposited to that card. When I asked for a supervisor I was disconnected. When I called back to speak with a supervisor I was told that I did not meet the criteria for a rush of my {$1000.00} back to me. I am a relatively new XXXX and I an a single parent with children in XXXX. I can not afford to have {$1000.00} just sitting somewhere.
