Consumer complaint received 02-03-2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (NY).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: It XXXX, Citizens Bank charged me {$1900.00} in overdraft and returned item fees. I applied for overdraft protection and was denied. I accrued {$70.00} more in fees in the first month of XXXX and therefore closed my account. While I feel that Citizen Bank 's methods for processing payments, and their terms in general, are unscrupulous -- that is not my primary issue. My issue is that the bank has been harassing me for the past year, alleging that I " owe '' them hundreds of dollars. Any money that I " owe '' them is not from authorized purchases or debits from my account, it 's more bank fees that they have charged me -- and I have no intention of giving them any more of my money. Not to mention, I think their methods for collection ( calling 2x a day for months ) borders on harassment.

Consumer complaint received 08/31/2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Gurstel Law Firm, P.C. (MN).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Notification didn't disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt

Complaint: I received a notice of garnishment of wages from Gurstel Law Firm. There is no information regarding the alleged amount, nothing stating they are a debt collector or that it was an attempt to collect a debt. The documents presented appear to be a court matter in the state of Minnesota but when I looked into it, there is no case in XXXX  County or any other court in Minnesota. I have asked them twice to validate the debt and disclose the alleged amount owed. I do not even know what the alleged debt is for. I have written to them twice ( XX/XX/XXXX andXX/XX/XXXX) requesting the debt be validated and the amount be disclosed and they still have not done that.
They have violated the FDCPA in the following ways : 1. Provide proof of the alleged debt, including all original contracts, agreements, promissory notes, amounts due, amounts paid, interest, fees, charges or incidental expenses allowed within the original contract, or in what state that debt is owed ; 2. Provide the amount allegedly due on the alleged debt, along with an itemized statement of the original amount owed, paid, interest, fees, charges or incidental expenses allowed within the original contract which created the alleged debt or that is permitted by law ; 3. Provide proof that there is in fact a judgment against me in any state in the continental United States of America ; 4. Provide proof that there is in fact a judgment or that a case has been docketed in XXXX County or any other county in the State of Minnesota ; 5. Provide original documentation of the alleged debt, including original signed contracts, agreements, promissory notes and the like ; 6. Their correspondence failed to state that they are a collection agency licensed by the Minnesota Department of Commerce [ MN Statute 332.37 ( 21 ) ] ; and 7. Provide sufficient, clear language in your letter regarding this alleged debt, the suit, the garnishment process and the amount allegedly owed.
Their offices have falsely represented to me that the documents they provided to me are a legal process or have a legal case docketed in XXXX County in the State of Minnesota.
Their company simply wrote a second letter which I received Friday, XXXX XXXX 2017 stating they would like my attorney 's name and contact information and I had ten days to respond.
I had told them I spoke with my attorney i did not say I retained his help in this matter in my correspondences.
They still did not validate the debt, provide any information about the debt, disclose they are a debt collector or the alleged amount I supposedly owe them.

First, all3 initialmodification payments were made on time to XXXX XXXX XXXX and attached are supporting documentswhich were sent to SLS confirming that from copies of entries from our checking account. Secondly, wecalled multiple times to confirm with XXXX XXXX XXXX during that 3 month trial period to make sureeverything was ok and on track with our modification and each time we were told everything was fineand looked ok. And lastly, we did in fact receive a XXXX letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2013stating our trial loan modification was denied which surprised us as we had been told everything wasfine during the prior multiple calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX to confirm we were on track with our trialpayments. So as soon as we received the denial letter we called XXXX XXXX XXXX to question why wewere receiving it, and the response we received from the customer rep was to, " ... .. ignore the letter as itwas sent to us in error. '' And we were also told to keep making the trial payments even though it wasafter the 3 months which we also complied with.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I discontinued services XXXX XXXX XXXX. They billed me for their membership even though there was no use of service from that point forward. There was no notification regarding the continuance of billing from the club itself. I recieved an email notification however from ABC in which enormous added penalties were added to the bill. The XXXX XXXX XXXX did waive the late penalties but would not waive the club use charges that they even admitted were not used. I paid the bill in full and sent the prehistoric formal written cancellation letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Since then in the past two weeks I 've continued to receive XXXX further notification of more fees and charges owing on my account. I have attempted to contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX location and gotten no response. XXXX XXXX is his Manager who 's also ignored any and all communication I 've directed to her. This is abusive business tactics and needs to be addressed. After researching online I 've found countless postings from other victims from this companies abuse. There are too many other choices of XXXX to work out at. Maybe XXXX XXXX will learn a lesson someday that taking care of the customer should be a bigger priority.

Consumer complaint received 01/13/2017 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with CCS Financial Services, Inc. (AR).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: Someone residing at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX used my social security number in XXXX XXXX to setup an account with XXXX XXXX. When first notified by a collection agency in XXXX XXXX, I complied with XXXX request to submit all the appropriate disclaimer information ( affidavits, picture IDs, court documents ). XXXX assured me that the matter would be resolved. Recently, however, I 've received another letter from a different collection agency ( Credit Collection Services, {$1700.00} ). Evidently, the previous collection agency ( the exact name I ca n't recall ) sold my account to this new collection agency. According to this new agency, I am once again responsible for submitting documentation proving I am not responsible for the debt, that I indeed am a victim of identity theft. Incidentally, I contacted the XXXX, Georgia police department several times. Eventually, they went through the motions of taking down information. Evidently, no prosecution has been sought against the individual who appropriated my identity. Even so, it is incumbent upon me to provide all the necessary information even though every party involved ( the XXXX police, XXXX and the respective collection agencies ) know the address of the individual using my social security number.

Complaint: I wanted to state that my experiences with Citizens Bank have been ongoing practically since the time I joined in 2011.

Thank you, XXXX XXXX Customer account XXXX
