Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I got {$18.00} of gas at the pump at XXXX 's in XXXX, AR. This morning when I checked my USAA bank account I noticed another charge from XXXX 's for {$140.00}. Although it's marked as " pending '' the funds are withdrawn from my balance and not available to me. I called XXXX 's and was told " It's not us. We don't hold money from your account. Call your bank ''. When I called the bank they said " It's not us. Call the store. '' Meanwhile I have to wait 5-10 business days for either the pending charge to fall off or the dispute to be resolved. This is very bad business. Not only are they finger pointing at each other but nobody will take ownership of charging me {$140.00} for no reason. Plus I will have bills that may not clear now because these funds are not available to me and I did nothing wrong. Why on earth would the bank need 5 business days to process a transaction in 2024. They are certainly quick to take the money but nobody seems interested in giving it back or even being accountable for a fraudulent charge.

Complaint narrative:
To whomever this may concern my name is XXXX and I've generated this statement. The accounts mentioned in this report should not be reported as they violate my rights as a federally protected consumer according to 15 US Code 1681-B. Also, FCRA Section 1681S-2 states, that a person shall not furnish any information related to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate. I am a victim of identity theft and did not authorize these accounts to be reported on my accounts. I am demanding that the accounts listed in this report be removed immediately.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Good Morning, I was logged into XXXX XXXX and was notified I had an " outstanding '' approval odds for a small loan. 

I decided to apply and was immediately approved via an online message... this loan was only about XXXX dollars for 36 months/XXXX XXXX a month payment ; with an insane interest rate of almost 32 %. 

One Main Financial, the originators of the loan, called myself this morning and ask me several questions, employment, phone numbers, income, etc ... .I answered all their questions honestly, and specifically mentioned my Veteran XXXX income as well. 

After several minutes of my mini interrogation, I was denied the loan based on me not making enough money, ( over XXXX ), and my XXXX XXXX XXXX ... .when I was done laughing, I told them to enjoy the rest of there day and graciously hung up the phone. 

My major complaints are that I was approved for this loan, at least initially, and that after giving them all my personal information and that I'm a veteran ... .then they turn me down ; which I cant prove, but they were already going to turn the loan down anyway before I gave them my information. 

In my opinion, they can approve or turn down anybody of course, but I believe they mislead my to get all my personal information first to sell to marketers... obviously I cant prove this. 

If they are allowed to do this then so be it, however, this practice is unethical and needs to be reviewed. 

I appreciate your time in regards to this matter. 

Thank You.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
During an insurance issue, I was informed by customer service to pay my regular payment. Which was around {$1200.00}. Instead of the additional insurance money they were requesting for escrow. I made my regular payment calling into customer service twice. It was then sent to collections that I was not making my payment. I called customer service back and escalated it and was then told whatever they had told me was incorrect and I needed to pay the additional money or I was considered delinquent. I paid in full after receiving this information and asked to correct the error and fix my now damaged credit score. I had to speak with someone else. They said it should correct in 30 days since the payment was made in full. It did not correct. The freedom mortgage company later determined they made no error with this information and would not retract the delinquent notice and letter to collection. Therefore leaving my credit severely tarnished. Yet if customer service communicated this from the beginning I would have paid it all just as I have been making my payments on time since purchasing.

Complaint narrative:
Monterey collection service agent named XXXX told me on the phone that premium destinations was the original creditor ( consumer funding source ) which is reported on my credit report. She then told me to contact premium destinations, after contacting premium destinations they have a written statement saying Monterey financial is the original creditor. I believe this is bad business practice, false reporting on my credit reports. Also I have told Monterey collection services to stop contacting me over a year ago and send me everything in writing. I was contacted by XXXX again while at work.
