Consumer complaint received 09/21/2016 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I have been an established customer of Capitol One Bank in XXXX XXXX, NJ. My original interest rate on my account was 1.09 %. Without my knowledge, the bank dropped the rate to .10 % After speaking with XXXX XXXX, she said no problem, I have a lot of customers who complained about the same thing. All you have to do is bring new money in to the bank, open a checking account, and the rate will return to 1.09 % So I presented a check in the amount of {$230000.00} and wanted to proceed with what I was promised. The new manager XXXX XXXX asked me what I am going to use the checking account for and I said some small deposits here and there. He gave me a strange look that made me feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, and like a criminal. Then he refused to open the account. I feel I was discriminated against and was given no reason as to the denial of the account opening. I even escalated to Capitol One corporate. XXXX contacted me and said it is in the rights of the branch manager to decline opening an account. She did however take down more facts about what transpired. Keep in mind their was no heated conversation or bad language. How is it that the bank allows this for some customers and not others? Is it my last name? What is the criteria? I thought ll customers should be treated equally. I am still hurt, puzzled, and felt belittled that day inside of the branch. I feel I deserve an explanation. Thank you, XXXX

Consumer complaint received 06-10-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Platinum Holdings Group, LLC (FL).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay

Complaint: I have received several phone calls from XXXX. Finally after multiple calls I answered it. To keep it short when I started asking questions regarding the debt, and inquiring who the original creditor was, I was met with refusal to give me the information. I was then threatened with legal charges that could " result '' in me being arrested. I was then transferred to a XXXX XXXX, at that point I was finished discussing as it was getting no where. I asked for information to forward my written statement requesting any further contact be through the mail, XXXX XXXX would basically not allow me to speak and ask questions I was told the following. 
1. I needed to grow up and pay my bills and that not to waste my time sending such a document as they were going to file suit immediately and that he makes more money in an hour than I do in a year so that meant he did not have to explain anything to me. 
2. When I tried to again inquire about the original creditor he gave me information but then called me a laundry list of inappropriate names such as a XXXX and a " worthless piece of trash '' I will admit at that point I said a few choice things, but when backed into a corner you tend to react. 
3. He kept hanging up on me simply because I wanted to dispute the amount being asked for as I know I do not owe that much, hence asking for the original creditors information. 
4. I called back several times and was told not to call again or he was going to file harassment charges on me. 
The last time I checked I have a right to question any debt I am said to owe, I also have the right to be treated fairly and with respect. I was not aware that a collection agency was allowed to speak to their customers in such a manner to degrade them in order to attempt to collect a debt. I would have recorded the conversation but I know the laws in Florida do not allow it without the consent of the other party and I knew they were n't going to consent to that.
