Consumer complaint received 10/23/2017 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (International money transfer) with WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE (IL).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: . Here is the Needed Information. 
XXXX XXXX, XXXX I went to XXXX at XXXX pm as usual for a work day. 
- unauthorized transaction occurred at XXXX and XXXX XXXX western union transfers to the XXXX occurred. These were transaction XXXX for {$980.00} and XXXX for {$990.00}. They were picked up at XXXX and XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX, XXXX around XXXX I woke up from sleep and saw the transactions in the email. I called western union to stop them. They replied it went through and was picked up in XXXX city. They recorded my immediate dispute as # XXXX. They said to file and internet fraud report at 1c3.gov. 
- I filed the fraud report at ic3.gov. 
- I called XXXX XXXX XXXX They said the hackers they to send a third transaction but the card locked up. I sent dispute message to XXXX XXXX. 
- I messengered XXXX XXXX. 
She said she was at work at the pick up time and lives XXXX hours away from XXXX. I had sent her {$50.00} for XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX - I called Western union and asked for verification who picked up the money. They said they would not release the information. They would not tell me the Ip Address of who access my Western Union Account. This would only be released to the police. 
- XXXX XXXX acknowledged at XXXX am that I spoke to the security via message. 

I have used Western union several times. The most sent in XXXX years was {$200.00} in a single transaction. Only once did I transfer money to the XXXX and that was {$50.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It not realistic with in past practice of spending that I would send {$2000.00} total in the middle of the night to the XXXX. That should have set off the fraud alerts. I got a call from the XXXX hotline this week about a {$30.00} XXXX bill and not these transactions? It does not make sense. 
Western union does not have XXXX factor authentications, security questions, automatic lockout, ip tracking, unique login name or phone security codes which would have alerted Western union and me that hacking was occurring. My credit card is on file visible to the hackers. All these need is my email which is readily on online. They can use a password cracking software until successful. The XXXX digit id number can be tried at other sites until successful. Western Union does not allow the customer to set a maximum transfer limit to require a phone call if it needs to be exceeded. 

I will be glad to take a lie detection test if necessary. I called all parties immediately in the middle of the night once seeing the transfers. I did not make these transfers and would like my money back. Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 04-03-2018 about Checking or savings account (Other banking product or service) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MD).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem accessing account

Complaint: Citibank has repeatedly frozen my accounts and placed fraud alerts although I have had ample funding. At one point I have been able to make certain transactions while others were denied. When I contact them via telephone, they are unable to send me text messages to the phone numbers provided in order to address any concerns. My debit cards have been frozen while I have been at merchants trying to make payments and the bank is unable to confirm my identify even with personal information which I am able to view online. The telephone representatives never provide any information on your accounts and you are unable to address any issues with the bank. They repeatedly tell me that I need to call back once I receive secure messages. I have provided them with my cell phone number and I am often told they need to call my work or another phone number which I may not have access to at the time. The wait times to address fraud activity is extensive and you are often left at merchants for extended periods while the phone rep fails to address the concern. I recently updated my account, received a new debit card and checks. I logged and the new account is missing. I have logged in to see secure messages saying that they tried to contact me which is false. I never receive any calls to my primary mobile phone regarding any suspicious activity and when I call no one is able to assist me. This has happened in excess of ten or more times. Below is the  message below I received via secure mailbox. 

" We have reason to believe that your Citibank Banking Card may have been compromised. We have attempted to contact you by phone to speak with you personally but have been unsuccessful. As a precaution we have reduced your daily purchase limit. Please contact us immediately in order to confirm your recent account activity and restore your purchase limit. This can only be done by directly speaking with our Customer Service department. Representatives are available to assist you, 24/7, at  XXXX. If you are calling from outside of the United States, please call collect at XXXX. ''

Consumer complaint received 11/15/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (IL).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I have had approximately 75 ACH transactions from my employe to USAA without a single hold. I have many USAA products such as Credit Cards, Home and Auto Ins, etc. All of my bills to them are due in the second half of the month. Today, XX/XX/17, they held my ACH transaction for 7 days and will collect a late fee on every product I have even though they have my money. Seems very unfair and deceptive to charge a late fee when they have my money.

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I experienced identity theft and notified XXXX XXXX, Macy 's, XXXX, Citi and XXXX. They have reported to the credit reporting services that upon investigation, they had decided that I was in serious delinquency even though they knew about the identity theft. After notifying them of the theft, the thief was able to open a credit card at XXXX XXXX under my name and rack up additional debt. I immediately informed them that I did not open this card and had they looked at my account, they would 've been able to identify the continued identity theft. Instead, they took more than {$6000.00} out of my checking account to pay the balance on this fraudulent credit card. And now XXXX XXXX is claiming, I owe them {$3800.00} which is destroying my credit. They also never repaid a penny of the theft which was laundered through my bank account. They only saw the problem when I went into the branch to make an inquiry about my account. XXXX XXXX claimed it was my problem. XXXX, Macy 's and Citi claimed I owed an amount that was also part of the identity theft. I provided them with two police reports about the identity theft and a notarized FTC proclamation about the theft. This too continues to destroy my credit. I 've employed many credit repair service to no avail. In fact, they take the debts off my credit report and then put them back on. And XXXX was paid in full and apparently that payment went to a different payment address and it took XXXX three months to get the payment credited to my account. They have put this on my credit report as late payments. XXXX Bank Line of Credit put late payments as " seriously delinquent '' even though I was in a modification of the loan which XXXX XXXX said I did not have to pay until the modification was complete. During the modification progress, XXXX XXXX continued to ask for more and more paperwork which I did provide but nothing happened with the modification until I got a refinance loan and paid them off. No matter what I do, I can not get my credit score to what it was prior to the identity theft.

Consumer complaint received 01/20/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: For 2 years I was on the income based driven plan with navient, paying about XXXX a month. When I first started paying back my loans, they did not take into consideration my other private student loans ( approx XXXX dollars in other loans ). I called about 6 months ago to ask them about a question on my account, the representative told me to " consolidate my loans '' that I had with navient because I had a few loans with them. They completely failed to inform me that I would loose my 2 years that I already completed, towards the 10 I was working towards to get my loans forgiven because I work for a non profit. My initial question in the first place was what paper work do I need for getting my loans forgiven due to my non profit status. If the consumer is not under the income based repayment plan, you do n't qualify to get loans forgiven. I have since had to start completely over after finding this information out and change back over to the income based plan. I lost 2 years, approx. XXXX because of the advice this navient representative gave me. And they wo n't reconsider, even though I went back on an income based plan within 2-3 months after finding out after calling them about another question I had. I am a XXXX, I am drowning in student debt, and it 's insane that this company wo n't help me.
