Consumer complaint received 05-08-2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with NCC Business Services, Inc. (LA).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: My fiance and I applied for an apartment at   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , TX back in  XXXX    XXXX  . He was there for about three months when he was asked to leave. The apartment agreed to take partial rent payments in order for him to catch up because he was an out of the state  XXXX  living in  XXXX  on his own. He was in the process of getting his income in order to to give full payment of rent when he was evicted from his residence. The office also informed him that the it would not show up on his credit report. He had less than a week to move out. He had to stay from hotel to hotel until he was able to find a permanent residence.     The amount of {$2700.00} has shown up on both of our credit reports. I feel as if this is in unfair that the office agreed to help him catch up with rent and also told him that they would not report this on our credit reports and they did.     He was not the only person that was affected by this. Many people in the apartment complex were evicted from their homes and were kicked out o n the street.

Consumer complaint received 03/13/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with I.C. System, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I received 3 return packets from XXXX. I opened one ans saw they were phone return packets. 

I found XXXX 's fraud reporting phone number and tried to contact them, but only recieved automated messages. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I went to XXXX store at XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and tol ; d them of this fraudulent activity and asked to check the name as spelt on the nvelope " XXXX XXXX '', note not same as my name. They could not find anything, and said they could take any fraud discovery or fraud report information. ( Saturday XX/XX/XXXX ) So I mailed back these packets with notes on Fraud activity. 

I checked the Fraud website on XXXX, and noticed it was too complicated, and asking me to reveal lots of personal information. While in the meantime I am not able to reach any human at XXXX. 
The web reports on Fraudulent department at XXXX were also bad. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a call from collections ( IC Systems : XXXX ). I told them the story and asked them to record all the actions I had taken on this and why I had not received any response from XXXX, nor did anyone try to reach me. 

The IC Sytems instead treatened me that if I dont fill up XXXX  's farudulent report on the website, I will be in trouble. 

At which IO got angry, since I recollected that his website asked for too much information. And there was no way to reach nay human and talk on this issue at XXXX. Their web reviews were also extremely bad.

Consumer complaint received 12/18/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OH).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: When I signed up for my checking account with Chase, I specifically opted out of overdraft protection as I did not want to incur any overdraft fees. I specifically asked when I signed up to make sure that charges would not go through if I did not have the funds in the account. 

After I signed up for my account, I learned about " insufficient funds '' fees and how those are different than " overdraft fees ''. If you pay some of your monthly bills automatically, but if you do n't have the funds in your account, the bill payment will still go through, and Chase charges you the " insufficient funds '' fee of {$34.00} per occurrence regardless of the amount you over drafted your account. 

I honestly do n't see the distinction between overdraft fees and insufficient funds fees ; it 's the exact same thing with a different name. I would rather pay a bill a day or XXXX late and incur a small late fee with whatever utility company than be charged a {$34.00} fee. 

Furthermore, I honestly believe Chase 's practice of clearing pending charges at XXXX at night and then having any direct deposit come in shortly after XXXX is an Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Act or Practice. There have been times where I have had a charge go through at XXXX, incurred insufficient fund fees, and then have a paycheck be deposited at XXXX. In the span of 3 minutes, I have incurred {$100.00} in insufficient funds fees and then have hundreds of dollars deposited din my account.

Consumer complaint received 05-09-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MN).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/15 I opened a Citigold checking account after receiving an offer in the mail stating I would receive XXXX Thank You points ( worth approx. {$500.00} ) after meeting certain criteria. I then met those criteria, confirmed with a Citi representative that I have met the criteria, and was told to expect the XXXX Thank You points to be deposited into my account by the end of XXXX. During this time I was charged two monthly service fees of {$30.00} each. Now, after confirming this promotion was applied to my account, that I had met the requirements, and that the points would be deposited at the end of XXXX, Citi has pulled a bait in switch. They have suddenly decided I do n't qualify unless I can find a postcard from 5 months ago showing the offer. I do n't keep mail around for 5 months, and NOTHING was ever said over the past 5 months about needing to keep that post card. Now I have {$60.00} of fees and I will not be getting {$500.00} worth of Thank You points. I 'm not alone. Hundreds of people are in the same situation as me. I 've done XXXX searched and found forums full of people having this problem. It 's not right. I 've been lied to, and my money has been taken. Apparently I have to uphold my end of the terms and conditions by paying a monthly service fee, but Citi does n't have to uphold theirs. Something needs to be done. I hope enough pressure can be put on Citibank to make them honor the promotion they already told me I qualified for.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (CO).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I contacted SunTrust Mortgage about paying off my house on XXXX/XXXX/16. I spoke to XXXX and was told I would need to stop automatic payments from my checking account.. I asked her to please do so and she said it was taken care of. She then told me to write a check for the full amount of {$1300.00} and if I wanted to, add a bit more to cover interest for the few days it would take for the check to arrive at SunTrust. She instructed me to include my name and account number. I followed these instructions and sent in my check and paperwork the next day. 
When I did n't hear from them by XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX and she told me they had closed the account the previous day. That they were sending my escrow plus over a thousand dollars in addition to that. I questioned why I would be getting over a thousand back and she said that they had taken a regular house payment out through automatic payment at my bank that very day. The day AFTER they had closed my account. 
I told her that XXXX had said that automatic payment had been cancelled on XXXX XXXX. She said that apparently it had n't been done. I asked that the money be placed back into my account as it caused me to be unable to pay some of my other bills to have that money gone. She said her supervisor XXXX XXXX wanted me to send a copy of my bank statement to prove that they had withdrawn the money. Although they just told me they had done so, they now wanted me to prove it. I sent a picture to XXXX showing that page of my bank account. I received a message from XXXX the next day saying that XXXX now wanted a hard copy of that statement and that XXXX would call me later that day to take care of my account. That was XXXX and I 've not heard from them since. 
Today, XXXX, I have called twice and requested to talk to XXXX and been told she will call me back. That was 3 hours ago. 
I told them the first day when they said they took the extra payment that it would cause me hardship paying my bills and that I would hold them accountable for any fines or charges I received as a result of their mistake. I was told that they were going to mail me that check and the escrow money within 15 days. Rather than credit it back into my account that day as I requested. I feel like I am getting the run around and that I am being penalized for their employees error. I know we all make mistakes, not a big deal. But their failure to rectify this in a timely manner is why I am contacting you. Can you please help me?

Consumer complaint received 12-08-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with PNC Bank N.A. (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Escrow account is more than my house payment! I paid them {$1500.00} this year for a shortage along with my regular payment. Now my escrow account is another {$1200.00} short! Not sure who is doing the math at PNC but I ca n't even log into my account and they just print out what is on-line and mail it to me which does not explain {$3000.00} shortage! I 've repeatedly asked for an audit of my account and they have not complied. Requested another audit today and they will probably print out the on line version again.

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Core Advisory Group, LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I want to report to you that this company preys on homeowners by making false promises through their deceptive advertisement that they had sent to me. I thought I was a plaintiff for a lawsuit to be filed against my bank and the mail ad said my new interest rate will be 2 %. I called in to find out more information about this so when I spoke to them back in XXXX XXXX, XXXX I had told them specifically that I already applied for a loan modification and still waiting for an answer. Core advisory group told me that they are not a loan modification company and that they can help me get a better result by filing complaints against my bank. I asked them what will happen afterwards and they told me that getting the complaints open will automatically force my bank to give me a better loan modification term and I will be a better position if I have professional help so they can go after the bank to eliminate all the late fees and penalties and also reduce my principle balance. This sounded good at first, so I agreed to sign their paperwork and paid them {$3500.00} upfront plus {$120.00} for their notary service. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX my bank finally responded to my original application for a loan modification and I was approved. Core did nothing for me but draft complaints to be filed with CFPB. This is a pure scam and tricky way for them to lure people in, thinking they can do this and do that but really just take your money. I filed a complaint to them to return my money and out of {$3600.00} dollars I paid them they were only willing to give me back {$1700.00}. I believe I am entitled to the rest my money paid to them {$1800.00} based on FTC XXXX rule makes it illegal for any company that provides mortgage assistance to charge me fees in advance and that is what they did. I want my money back.

Consumer complaint received 01-04-2018 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (MD).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: Good evening - I have contacted this company a total of four times since XX/XX/XXXX. The latest certified letter was sent to Portfolio Recovery on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of the alleged debt, as well as proof that this company has the legal authority to collect the allege debt on behalf of the original creditor.

This company still has neglected to include proof that they have the legal authority to collect the alleged debt.
