Consumer complaint received 03/20/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (GA).
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX i made a payment of {$2700.00} to my Barclay master card which was the balance due at the time ... on XX/XX/XXXX the funds were deducted from my bank account and i received an email from Barclay stating my payment have been received. On today XX/XX/XXXX i checked my account online to find out the payment has not been credited to my account and that there was a hold on my payment. I called the customer service # and the automotive system acknowledged the payment but also reflect that the available credit does not reflect that payment being applied. I spoke to rep XXXX ( said couldn't give last name ) but his employee ID # is XXXX advised me that there was a hold on my payment and said it wouldn't be lifted until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I asked XXXX the reason for the payment hold his response was because it was an unusual amount and it was also based on the method of payment and my bank is the one that issued the hold. I asked XXXX why would my bank issue a hold when they have already released the funds and never contacted me to confirm the transaction. I offered to fax over my bank statement showing the funds have actually cleared ( not pending ). He stated it would still not be resolved until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I pay the same way every using the same account so it shouldn't have been an issue with my bank. I then questioned the response he made about the method that was used i advised him that Barclay uses ACH so they wouldn't have gotten the money if the funds weren't available. He then responded that the hold would not be released until XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXXand if that was ok ( he was trying to get me off the phone at that point ) I told him no and asked would this have been a problem if i wouldn't have paid off the statement and why was it a problem for me to pay what was owed. He then stated he would try to see if he could have the hold removed now and placed me on hold. Once he came back to the line he stated he was able to have the hold removed and i will see the credit on my account by XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX est.

Consumer complaint received 03/15/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint: I went to Transunion for what I thought was my free yearly credit review and score. Instead, I have been billed for three straight months - XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX. I never signed up for a pay service. In fact, I never received a monthly or quarterly report from Transunion informing me that they have been monitoring my credit. I happened to notice the charges on my monthly credit card report. I have called them twice. The first time I contacted their representative, one months credit was given, The 2nd phone call I made to Transunion was of no help. I was told by their representative that they only give one month refund and no more. So I am at this point stuck with two months of charges for a service I never wanted and for which they never provided me any evidence of the review. I would be grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you in advance.

Consumer complaint received 05-10-2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IL).
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint: I have a Chase Slate Credit Card on which I carried XXXX separate Balance Transfer Promotions which carried a 0 % APR for varying periods of time. It appears during the time the promotions were active, my minimum payments were applied to reduce the balance of the outstanding promotional balance transaction due to expire 1st. When the promotion which had a 0 % promotional APR expired, it 's unclear as to how the subsequent payments were allocated. It appears that the payment amount was split between the remaining 0 % promotional balance outstanding as well as the expired promotions outstanding balance. However, the amount applied to the expired promotions outstanding balance does not appear to have even satisfied the current statement cycle interest charges. Thus, between the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX statements, the Balance Subject to Interest Rate increased from {$6300.00} to {$6400.00} even though a payment of {$190.00} exceeded the {$71.00} interest charges. Moreover, when I attempted to pay in full the expired promotional balance by paying {$6500.00} ( which exceeded the balance subject to interest rate on the previous monthly statement ), I was surprised to see still yet a remaining balance and interest charges accruing and perplexed as to why any portion of this payment would be allocated towards a promotional balance earning 0 % interest before fully satisfying the balance subject to interest charges.

Consumer complaint received 12/29/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (MO).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Since XXXX of XXXX my loan has been transferred to Caliber Home loans. The first month after acquiring my loan Caliber attempted to change my monthly payment. In XXXX of XXXX Caliber sent me a refund check stating that I had overpaid. Soon after that I noticed that they were escrowing my taxes and insurance. Since my retirement I have been paying my own real estate taxes. The insurance has gone through my previous mortgage company but I would rather get my own insurance. All of this was being done despite the fact that my previous lender sent out a letter stating that the terms and agreements in loan would not be changed. Each and every month I sent my mortgage payments to the post office box listed for Caliber and the payments were received on time per my postal delivery confirmation printout. The payment for XXXX XXXX was never sent to my bank. I mailed that payment to Caliber, the same address that I had always used before, on XXXX XXXX by priority mail. I finally received the check back around XXXX XXXX from a different mortgage company that was also in Texas, undoubtedly XXXX that they know. Caliber has charged me about {$420.00} in late fees for XXXX. I know for a fact that it is not possible because I have always sent my payments with delivery confirmation that shows the date in which Caliber received my payment. I believe that this company is attempting to manufacture a default. The late charge is {$25.00} and even if I were late every single month, the most the late charge could be is {$300.00}. This company is now claiming that I owe them over {$9000.00} in fees and payments. I am retired and have always made my mortgage payment every single month. They are trying to steal my property. My XXXX payment was received at their address on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX but the check was n't processed at my bank until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. They have just sent me a right to cure default letter threatening foreclosure in XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 06/24/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Zenith Financial Network Inc (CT).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: In XXXX 2014 I received a call from ZFN about a very old {$910.00} debt from XXXX 's Jewelers. The agent on the line said they were going to sue me for what I owed. I had just given birth to my son that same month and explained to him that I was on maternity leave and it would be hard for me to start a payment arrangement at that time but I would do so in the future. He told me I could settle or pay some outrageous amount. I said I needed to speak to my husband. XXXX minutes later the same agent called me back and said he talked to his client and he could do XXXX $ down and XXXX $ in XXXX payments. I explained it would be incredibly hard but he was saying I was going to have to pay legal fees if I was sued and that was their next step. So I agreed. I paid the {$150.00} in XXXX. When XXXX came I could not make a {$260.00} payment so I called ZFN. I explained that they pushed me into this agreement and I knew at the time I could not do it but I wanted to pay the debt and I could afford $ XXXX. They told me I was on a hardship agreement which I do n't understand because I was actually paying the EXACT amount I owed plus fees and if I had to change my payments it would have to pay a XXXX $ fee. Like I said I wanted it off my credit so I agreed. XXXX XXXX my husband had XXXX surgery and I was the only XXXX working so I called ZFN to explain that XXXX and XXXX might be hard for me to pay but I would pick right back up after. The rep said he could cancel XXXX to make sure my " debt '' did n't change offices. I said OK but if I ca n't do XXXX to can I call back and cancel that one he said " YES ''. So it is now XXXX I am barely paying current bills since my husband just went back to work and I called to let them know. The rep was rude and basically said to bad I cant help you. I do n't know who you talked to my job is to collect a debt. I explained I had kept up with my payments since XXXX and I really wanted to continue paying it. He basically blew me off and said " yeah and next month it will be something else. '' Then said " I 'll cancel them and you can deal with whatever comes. '' I only owe {$250.00} now I really want to pay it off and the agency basically lied and basically led me to believe they would do something drastic. I have also been paying the agency a XXXX $ processing fee every month for the money they want.

Consumer complaint received 12-10-2017 about Debt collection (Private student loan debt) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (IN).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I XXXX XXXX am reporting a deeply serious complaint against the entity of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, collections agency regarding there gravalicious and phony debt recovery approach in relations to a debt that has long, long ago reached it 's maturity date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it 's shared affiliates unscrupulous approaches to recover a debt that was originally taken out for {$2500.00}, between the year XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX has long been updated and removed from all three major credit bureaus, through multiple disputes regarding many unfair charges etc. And therefore, such, debt has no genuine merits for any types of collection recovery etc. 

In addition I vividly remember filing multiple disputes to have this debt removed particularly from XXXX, files which was done two to three months before its removal month and year, with that being in the month of XX/XX/XXXX, and which was shared with me by a live customer service representative person on a called in over the phone through my initials of verification etc. 

In my closing out now, and complete analysis regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and whether there acting solo, or in connections with it 's counterparts to collect on a debt that has long passed it 's statues of limitations, and that has long been exhausted on it 's recovery time frame which would surely be deemed as extortion 's, ugly conspiracies to entrapment 's, tactics of manipulations, major monkey businesses, along with ethical fallacies, rhetorical fallacies, and rationale fallacies which many, many consumers in the business world and societal marketplace would deem such disturbing actions as non de minimis, and which is for surely reprehensible at all major levels etc. 

In further, I am quiet frankly, appalled and incredulous by all these criminal activities by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it 's affiliates which are deeply troubling, and deliberately deeply disturbing, and with deeply intentions of culpable negligence. And as such, this entity and it 's affiliates whether they 're again, acting solo or not should be held accountable and responsible for all their collective despicable actions for trying to take advantage of me, and perhaps many other potential consumers in the marketplace etc. 

These types of phony business conduct causes debt restart on debts that has long been eclipsed in the societal business world and marketplace which causes many other major effects unjustly on many consumers etc. And as such, I implore for all body of governments, and all entities of consumer watch dog groups to reward XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it 's acting affiliates with stiff penalties of justices at all major levels in general etc.

Consumer complaint received 04-03-2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (GA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint: A debt collector from Portfolio Recovery at phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX called me on XX/XX/2015. The collector asked for me by name and I said yeah eventually. She then informed me that a had a debt for XXXX XXXX Back in the amount of {$500.00} dollars. I then asked her if she was going to verify if I was the correct person by Social Security number or Birthday and address and she just kept confirming my name. I then asked her if she was suppose to give me the mini Miranda by law since she just told me everything without verifying and she did not say it. I asked her if she was required to verify and give the mini Miranda and she ignored my question and kept confirming my name. I asked her to transfer me to a manager. The manager got on the phone and I informed him of what just happened. I asked him the same questions and he told me nothing but who I called and if I wanted to resolve the debt. I then asked him if he was a third party agency and he ignored my question. The manager did not verify or give me the mini Miranda. I then asked to speak to his manager. She came on the line and identified me by name she then immediately gave me the mini Miranda and I said. " so you do have to say it! '' I then told her about her other XXXX reps and she responded that they do not have to verify because they bought the debt from XXXX XXXX. Which still makes them third party. I am filing a complaint in reference to this call. I feel that if anyone would 've answered the phone and said they were me they would 've disclosed all of my information to a third party. I do not feel comfortable having my personal information in the office of Portfolio Recovery simply because of this call and the negligence of the procedures they have in place. This agency is in violation of the FDCPA.

Consumer complaint received 08/20/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (IL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: This is complaint number XXXX. I originally filed a complaint a few months ago, the result of that complaint was a response that stated my modification was approved but my mortgage had been purchased by another lender so there was a delay.The modification process was started in XXXX of 2014. After that notice I was served with foreclosure paperwork. This led me to question how Ocwen could file foreclosure on a mortgage that was currently in a modification and according to Ocwen had been bought by another company. I was told that I needed to file a response to the paperwork I was served. I filed my response at my local court house stating I was making payments, had a pending modification, and included copies of negotiated checks that Ocwen had accepted for payment .At this point the modification had carried on for over a year. I then was assigned a date to meet with attorneys for Ocwen as well as a foreclosure mediator, that meeting I believe was XXXX XXXX. At this meeting Ocwen was called where a representative for Ocwen told myself, the mediator and the attorney present that my modification had been approved, that my mortgage was current and after 14 months I finally had a completed modification. I was told I should receive paperwork on the approved modification within the next 30 days. I received a letter from the attorneys office stating the case was dismissed, which was signed and sent back. I then waited to receive the paperwork for my approved modification. I have yet to receive any such paperwork, instead I have received paperwork stating that my mortgage is behind and Ocwen has started the foreclosure process, again. I have also received XXXX separate letters stating I have a new agent, each letter had a different name, neither name is the person I am told is my agent when I call in. Total I have now been given at least XXXX different agents within the last year. I continue to make monthly payments and my checks are accepted every month.
