Consumer complaint received 03-10-2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NC).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I deposited a check in the amount of {$5300.00} on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX via Bank of Americas mobile banking app. On Monday I was given three different dates as to when my funds would be available ( currently have those print outs which the staff at one of their branches gave me ) the first availability was for the amount of {$4800.00} to be available on XX/XX/XXXX after XXXX CT. XX/XX/XXXX, I was showing an overdraft of over {$400.00} plus a over draft fee of {$35.00} and just received another notice threatening another {$35.00} fee if I do n't make a deposit by XXXX XXXX! Mind you my account was not over drawn or in the negative prior to me making my deposit. On top of that the {$4800.00} was not available. The next availability is for {$380.00} to be available on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX ( I honestly do n't think that money will be there after being told that {$4800.00} would be in my account on XXXX XXXX ). On top of that, I am still missing {$200.00} from the original amount that I deposited. I went into the branch XXXX times this week and no one can give me answers, just empty promises. My phone is currently cut off for non payment, and my rent is severely past due. My son and I are on the verge of being evicted from my home due to them holding my funds. I am a single parent who 's family relies solely on my income. How am I suppose to function when you have been holding my funds for nearly XXXX days without so much as an explanation? In this day an age with technology ruling EVERYTHING a hold check normally takes 24 hours, they are telling me that my funds may not be released until XX/XX/XXXX! I 'll be evicted from my home by then!

Consumer complaint received 03/14/2016 about Prepaid card (General purpose card) with Travelex NY, Inc. (CO).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: When going into a XXXXbank branch to get XXXX for my minor daughter to take to XXXX last summer, the Bank teller aggressively sold me ( successfully ) a reloadable Travelex cash card ... Stating that I could get the card in my name and give it to my daughter for her solo travels in XXXX. Teller stated that if my daughter lost card.. Another would be sent to her.. Also that card could be reloaded and used at many locations legally and it was the safest way to go. After buying and loading the card, I called " multi currency cash passport '' company to get details on usage. Cash Passport told me I would be " in breach of contract '' if I let my daughter use my card without me ( she is a minor, traveling solo ), and they would not replace it if stolen, lost or confiscated. Cash Passport mentioned that some merchants may confiscate her card. I returned to Travelex counter inside usbank and they were still aggressively selling Travelex card to parents of minors for the minor to use overseas ( I had to wait in long line and overheard same selling points that sold me on the " safe card for your child to use XXXX alone ) .. I did speak to the teller and then the tellers manager about this dangerous marketing strategy.. ( They did unload my cash card.. For a fee of course.. But that is not my complaint today ). My concern is for these children traveling XXXX with a cash card that is not replaceable if lost or stolen. This practice that Travelex is aggressively selling the cash passport card to parents that come to bank counter to get foreign currency.. And children are traveling solo overseas with a false sense of safety. I mentioned these concerns to Travelex manager XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and she did not seem to understand my concerns..I would like Travelex to train there employees to not push this card on parents of minor children that come to the bank to change dollars to foreign currency. That is wrong. This is putting children in danger. 
Thank you

Consumer complaint received 03/29/2018 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with Medical Data Systems, Inc. (NY).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I was involved in a malicious wounding crime in XX/XX/XXXX that resulted in numerous medical bills. The judge ordered all medical bills to be paid by the guilty party. The bills were being charged to the victims protection fund at the time and being paid by them and then ultimately charged back to the guilty party. This bill was charged to me and was still paid by the victims protection fund, but sent to collections inXX/XX/XXXX and still shows on the collections portion of my credit report. This debt was not mine and was still paid. It should have never been sent to collections and should have never been assigned to me by law.

Consumer complaint received 12/16/2016 about Debt collection (Non-federal student loan) with AES/PHEAA (CA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Called after sent written cease of comm

Complaint: This company has continued to call after being sent written cease of communication notice. They have also not responded to my request to validate the debt and provide proof that this debt belongs to me and that they have the authority to collect and that the statue of limitations has not expired. 

They call multiple times per day on my house line and on my cell phone. They call at XXXX exactly every morning disturbing my sleep. 

This debt has been passed through XXXX-XXXX collection agencies in the past 2 years. Not a single one has provided proof that the debt is owed by me or my husband. I 'm tired of being harassed by this companies and I 'm not going to put up with it anymore. 

We only just got a notice from the last company handling this " debt '' that they would no longer pursue collection yet we started to receive phone calls from this company the very next day.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I have sent in 2 dispute letters to Transunion on XXXX XXXX and on XXXX XXXX to dispute two bankruptcies reference XXXX, XXXX, and a tax lien reference XXXX that are not mine and do not belong to me. I asked them to provide proof that these were my accounts and they have fail to do so both times. The response I received from them is that they are valid and updated, but they have failed to provide me with proof or a name of the person who verified the debt. I do not know where these judgments have originally been identified from and due to this Transunion have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the Clerks Office of The United States Bankruptcy Court ( XXXX XXXX of GA-XXXX XXXX ), the US Bankruptcy Court does NOT send, furnish or report any information to credit bureaus nor does it know the procedure and process of said agencies. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. The TRANSUNION Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature With that being said, I find it very hard to believe that this information was verified. If the above accounts are not verified they need to be deleted. Transunion is breaking the law by allowing erroneous information to be on consumers credit report without verifying it. My last dispute was responded too within a week, I find it hard to believe that any research was done to verify in a week with no proven documentation.

Consumer complaint received 09/20/2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: I disputed a collections account on my Transunion credit company. The account is for a medical bill in my hometown of XXXX, LA. The account is currently owned by XXXX ( accoount # XXXX ). The account has been transferred to a number of different collections agencies and I dispute it everytime it pops up on my credit report. It was previously owned by XXXX XXXX and I disputed it then also. XXXX is also reporting this account, but on my XXXX report the account is owned by XXXX. The account is for a medical bill my father accrued when he went to the XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. The info I 've received thusfar matches the dates of the charges.His name is XXXX XXXX. The collection agency that reported the account sent a letter to me in response to my dispute. The letter is also addressed to my father, they just sent into my home instead of his. Today, I got a notification from XXXX XXXX that Transunion has completed their investigation and they are refusing to remove the inaccurate information. They claim it meets FCRA requirements. But this is impossible, because the account is in my father 's name. I called Transuion last week to emphasize how important it is that they remove this fraudulent information from my credit report. I guess I did n't drive the point home well enough, because despite the collections agency submitting a letter that is addressed to someone else, they still did not remove the information. I am looking for an apartment and I really need this account deleted so that I can get approved or I will be on the street come XXXX. Please help. This is extremely urgent.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I recently obtained a copy of all 3 of my credit reports and noticed numerous unauthorized fraudulent accounts and two that should have been paid off. I disputed these accounts with each bureau and received very quick responses in less than two weeks saying they were either updated or remained.

I do not believe they actually physically investigated them. I have recently resubmitted disputes informing them of my identity theft manually since it was not efficient electronically.

I have also filed a complaint/report with XXXX XXXX XXXX Sheriff ( Waiting on Report Number ) and the FTC Report Number XXXX. I submitted copies of social and id, police report, and FTC report along with dispute letter and notice of my identity theft. 

I 've also requested fraud alerts on all of my bureaus. 

I have attached the letters I sent each bureau along with proof of my identity ( social and id ), police report, and ftc report.

Consumer complaint received 05-03-2016 about Credit card () with DISCOVER BANK (WI).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. Someone opened a Discover credit card in my name and used it to make fraudulent purchases without my knowledge. They also used my existing payment accounts ( i.e. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) to change my funding sources to the fraudulent card. Since I was n't aware this happened I unknowingly placed XXXX transactions on a fraudulent Discover card that was opened in my name. I reported fraud to Discover, filed a Police Report, and reported this to the FTC. Now that I have identified the XXXX transactions to Discover they have been harassing me to make a payment. I refused to give my checking account number to them and they kept pushing me to give it to them. They threatened me with having a past due account and they were reporting it to the credit agencies. They keep calling my house and I feel that they are being very unprofessional about my claim. I have not made a payment and will not until my case has been cleared.

Consumer complaint received 10/21/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with NETSPEND CORPORATION (PA).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: I lost my Netspend Debit Card back around XXXX 2016. I then discovered that XXXX unauthorized transactions were made. I immediately contacted Netspend Customer Service. The lost card was deactivated and an " investigation '' by Netspend began. I was informed by Netspend on XXXX XXXX 2016 that I will not be refunded the unauthorized transactions! They gave a lot of double talk as to why they made this decision, but at the end of the day, that money was stolen from my account, and the money is not Netspend 's but mine. 
So, I called the Customer Service number, and asked to speak to a Supervisor about this claim. I made a total of XXXX calls to Netspend. Each time I spoke to the Representative, I had to explain this claim, then they attempted to connect me to a Supervisor which never happened. 
XXXX XXXX @ XXXX-was on hold for 52 minutes XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, on hold for 10 minutes XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, on hold for 3 minutes XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, on hold for 21 minutes XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, on hold for 34 minutes Note, again, that I never got through to speak to a Supervisor about this claim. I have been in the XXXX for over 18 years ( XXXX ), and this ranks in the top XXXX, the worst way to handle a Customer Compliant. 
The sad thing is the amount is only {$250.00} that needs to be refunded, and the transactions were not authorized by me. Last, I placed a call to Netspend ; s Corporate Office on XXXX XXXX, 2016, but had to leave a voice mail message!

Consumer complaint received 03-08-2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: I have submitted several disputes to Experian for over 6 months now ; disputing the inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information listed on my credit report from multiple creditors. I have asked Experian on multiple accounts to remove any and all addresses, as well as personal information that does not belong to me, nor that I have ever lived at, and Experian will not acknowledge my request. Experian has continuously sent me a response to every dispute I send them, almost immediately refusing to thoroughly investigate the accounts because I have " previously '' disputed the accounts and they came back verified. My initial dispute was submitted in XX/XX/2015. I have sent a dispute every month since then, re-disputing the accounts with more information, or with a different reason as to why these accounts should be removed immediately. I have also requested method of verification, as well as proof of verification, and they have completely disregarded my request and thrown out my investigations entirely. I do not know where to begin in regards to having this matter resolved as I am constantly having to face an uphill battle with a company who is proving they are not abiding by the law and completing a full and thorough investigation. I am requesting that you please look into this matter and have Experian complete a full and thorough investigation of the accounts listed in the attached letter. I have sent them certified/registered mail with return receipt every month, and I know they have received my disputes because they reply back with the letter indicating the dispute will be disregarded to being previously investigated. Which I am aware of, but I am giving a completely different dispute reason every time. Please assist. I thank you for your time and help on this matter. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA - they are required to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified '' that I have disputed. Please resolve this manner as soon as possible. Thank you.
