Consumer complaint received 08/16/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Jim Bottin Enterprises, Inc (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I had membership for XXXX in XXXX, TX. I paid my membership as an automatic payment. They closed the gym " temporarily '' XX/XX/2016. I continued to pay my monthly dues until XXXX 2016 with no facility to work out at. I went in to XXXX, Tx to see if I could cancel my membership. I was told there was a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I could choose to work at. The XXXX gyms are over XXXX miles away from the facility I had signed up at. I chose to cancel the membership and the rep signed off on the termination. I was not billed for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I was billed for XX/XX/XXXX, which I called to see why they debited my account. They stated I was still responsible for the payment. I told them a furniture store had moved into the old XXXX XXXX I had signed up at. They did n't care about that fact. They told me it was to open up shortly. I told her it could n't open up, as a furniture store was operating out of the same building. They then stated I could work out at XXXX or XXXX. I informed them they were too far away from where I lived and I had infact cancelled the contract back in XX/XX/XXXX. She stated that XXXX was in receipt of the cancellation notice. She stated because they failed to fax it to them, " the billing company '' that it did n't count. They could n't get a hold of the gym, therefore we would still need to pay the contracted amount. I disputed that, as I never signed a contract with them. They sent me a link and asked me to register to obtain a copy of the " agreement ''. I never signed this contract. My signature was electronically placed on this document, as it was the first time that I 've seen this document. I asked how it was that they could bill me for a service they could not provide per their contract if they do not have a gym within XXXX miles. The gym was closed for more than 30 days, as it has been closed for 8 months. They could not keep their side of the contract and I 've requested that they not charge me. They state they will continue to charge even though they can not provide the service. The gym XXXX the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX invoice the billing company provided to them. I then told them that was their sign that it was a terminated contract ; however because they can not reach out to Nautilus, they have decided to keep billing me. This is not fair and is very much a breach of their contract. They want me to pay for a service they can not provide and will not listen to my calls and pleading for them to stop billing me.

Consumer complaint received 04/18/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MO).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint: 1. The forced answers to the questions on the form did not cover my problem, so I had to answer incorrectly. 

2. The problem is with the Annual Free Credit Report, from Experian. 

I just ( XX/XX/2018 ) got my Annual Report from Experian. 

A. The report on the screen was very dim, and very difficult to read for an old person like me. In other words, it did not conform to the contrast requirements of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. 

B. I tried to print the report. In addition to a very large number of pages, the printing was also very dim and hard to read. 

C. Even when I printed it in Landscape format, some of the information on the right side of the page was cut off. That is, I could not get a printed copy of ALL of the information on my report. 

D. The large amount of unnecessary whitespace on the report seems to be deliberately designed to discourage printing. 

Also, in the Experian " validation '' process, there is a requirement to answer questions in a VERY short period of time. Three questions in one minute. One was about the first 4 characters of my drivers license number, and my billfold with my license was in another room, taking quite some time to get. Another question was my mortgage payment amount - and most people do not have that exactly memorized, so have to go look it up. I believe this short time limit is designed to discourage people.

Consumer complaint received 05-10-2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CO).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I never do this but my disappointment in USAA is extreme. I have been a member for 20 years. I was an employee for 6 years, and for the life of me I ca n't understand the way this bank has changed. Today I made a mobile deposit using a money order. Without prior warning before the deposit, my funds were put on hold for a week. I make this same transaction every month to pay my rent but for whatever reason this time my funds have been placed on hold. I was transferred to the executive resolution team and was told they will review for an exception. I was denied this because, I do n't deposit enough money to get the exception. What kind of treatment is this? I have a direct deposit every  2  weeks, and the solution I was given is to apply for a USAA credit card or borrow the money. Unbelievable USAA. What is the difference between you and  XXXX   XXXX  or  XXXX  or any other big bank that only cares about their profits. Do you even remember what it means to serve? What does  XXXX  stand for USAA. Lesson learned. Sure my rent check will be returned and you will charge a NSF fee as well as whatever fees my landlord is going to charge. Thanks  XXXX

Consumer complaint received 12/28/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (DC).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: I opened a Macy 's XXXX credit card roughly XXXX years ago, for which I had a physical credit card issued. In the last XXXX months Macy 's created a separate " store credit '' account under my name separate from my XXXX account ( no physical card, no notification of creation ). This " store credit '' account only tracks purchases made online at Macys.com or through store purchases, both made using the XXXX card. All other purchases made using the XXXX outside of Macy 's are charged to the XXXX card. In XX/XX/2016 I fought a late fee on the " store credit '' account and signed up for autopay, and was reimbursed the late fee and paid the remaining balance in full. Subsequently I was charged interest on the {$0.00} balance, supposedly because it was a delinquent payment ( even though the late fee was waived and a customer service rep submitted the payment ), though I was not notified that the {$0.00} balance would carry a fee. I received notification in XX/XX/2016 that my account was yet again past due, this time with a {$31.00} late fee attached, along with an additional {$4.00} in interest on the previous {$0.00} balance. Apparently the autopay was not set up. I called to have the late fee removed and set up autopay. The late fee was removed but will likely hit my credit report as a delinquent payment. I have not missed a payment in XXXX years and was a few days late on XXXX payment in setting up autopay. 

Macy 's has XXXX XXXX ) set up a secondary credit account without my knowledge or notification for store purchases only, ( XXXX ) charged me interest and late fees on interest for carrying a {$0.00} balance, and ( XXXX ) charged a late fee of {$31.00} without sending a statement.

3 ) The online bank system was not working properly. After my checking account was closed, Discover Bank continued sending online bill pay checks to at least XXXX of my billers, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Bank, etc. 
These are absolutely unacceptable mistakes conducted by Discover Bank, which intentionally incurred returned check fees from my billers to me, totaling over {$100.00}.

Consumer complaint received 05/27/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. ().
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: My visa card company rejected a payment and I had a letter from them saying they had reduced my borrowing level to XXXX. When I rang them they told me that Equifax had a late payment on my credit report. I joined Equifax and discovered that someone had used my name and old address to take out a card with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I emailed XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told me that they had never had any account under my name. I contacted Equifax with this information disputing their false allegation on my credit report as I no longer lived at my old address and was n't living there when this card was taken out. Equifax told me to ring XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX then told me that indeed someone had fraudulently opened an account with them in my name and old address and promptly changed the address. The card was frozen and the account closed. All I had to do was request Equifax to contact them and the erroneous credit black mark would be expunged from my credit report. I did that but Equifax remained adamant that the identity theft would remain on my credit report. I am now making a complaint about this

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan

Complaint: This company outright steals from their customers. I knew going in that the interest rate was predatory but also knew I was going to make extra payments and pay it off as soon as possible. First off, they make it as hard as humanly possible to make extra payments. They say you can do it online but you ca n't. Their website is always having " technical difficulties ''. I did manage to finally make additional principal payments and when it came time for my final payment to come out my balance was less than {$50.00} and yet they deducted my usual full loan payment of {$110.00} out of my account. I spent close to an hour on the phone with them, part of which included a 3-way call with my bank to confirm the amount removed from my account which they did. Even after all that they would n't give me my money back. They said they were going to " escalate the matter '' and call me back but never did. They are stealing from people with emergencies. They are XXXX.
