I have an account in good standing with XXXX with a XXXX balance. The collectors give my name and call my cellphone, but they do not have my address and they give a different social security number and age/birthdate.

Complaint narrative:
While I was XXXX I was protected by the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act. I was unfairly charged massive late fees and compound interest during this time that was illegal for them to do so.

Since then the debt from those credit cards has been sold and I can not get this issue resolved.

Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
They call from multiple numbers sometimes from different states to get people to pickup. So far this month I have received 5 calls. I do not want to talk to this woman who has my case file. I have never had issues with collectors beforw. But this whole thing seems fishy to me. When I got evicted I only owed XXXX that was what was on my eviction notice. About 7 months later I get a call in the middle of my college class, not one call almost about 10 to 20. I thought someone in my family died. The lady would n't let me get off the phone to go back to class and so I hung up. Week or so later I get another call, and I 'm trying to figure things out there were some issues with the apartment like mold that I needed to get an answer for and she kept talking over me yelling saying that I said I 'm refusing to pay the debt, that I have n't given anything in 6 months and that I 'm irresponsible and that she was going to call the apartment complex I rented from that I qas evicted. Now I disclosed to my landlord that I was evicted and I rent from a place that allows to rent with evictions so I covered my XXXX. They threatened to call my parents who have no connection to the lease I signed for the apartment I got evicted from and I told them they were not to do that because they did n't sign anything and we 're not liable and could n't help me out anyway. I just got berated and talked over the whole time. They call me at least 5 to 10 times a month. I got some legal advice because apparently they are tacking on interest to my bill which when I got the letter from them finally saying what I owed it had gone from the XXXX on my eviction notice to XXXX dollars and now I 'm up to almost XXXX dollars. I do n't give them anything because I have n't received a statement of everything I have charged for the lady told me over the phone, but I do n't even know what I am paying for. I feel violated and do not appreciate the aggressive behavior that has been exhibited by them. I also asked to speak to the owner or the head of the company and they refused to connect me with him so I do n't know what 's going on. I looked them up online and there are pages of complaints by people saying the same thing I have they get harassed, multiple phone calls, threats to call third parties, threats to call apartments we rent from. I just wanted to let y'all know that I read the fair renters act or law and they break quite a few things on it. I also got asked to settle by XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX or something like that and XXXX by XX/XX/XXXX. With my job I ca n't make that ever, not even close I work for tips and even if I worked every day all day the entire month I would be nowhere close to that. They seem to set high high expectations and I ca n't do it.

Company: Alliance Collection Agencies, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I signed a contract as a condition of employment with a commercial trucking company. In the contract it states " Promise to Pay. By signing this agreement, you promise to repay to XXXX the value of the XXXX if you do not complete XXXX paid solo miles. You are responsible for repayment if you voluntarily terminate your employment or you fail to maintain your driving qualifications other than your physical qualifications '' I was terminated by the company after having a small accident. I did not voluntarily terminate and was still qualified to drive. I did not break the contract and was acting in good faith with the company. The company did not tell me at the time of my termination that they expected me to pay this money. They withheld a small portion of my last pay and this is how I found out about their intentions. I called the company 's HR department and they refused to discuss the issue of owing a debt and said that a collection agency would contact me. The collection agency that contacted me was sent XXXX registered letters explaining that I did not owe the money. I have contacted an attorney two times to receive guidance on this issue. The collection agency has called me six times after receiving the letters. My former employer does not have a right to seek this money by the nature of the wording in the contract. I wish to have this resolved without having to seek legal action in a court of law.

Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I paid check n go {$550.00} by my debit card by phone. Later when o checked my account there was a pending charge for {$490.00} that I did not authorize. I contacted them and they stated that it was n't in their system so there was no way for them to reverse the charge and assured me that the charge would fall off. I expressed my concern that this pending charge would cause my rent to bounce and they advised that anything that I am charged such as bounced check fees or late fees as a result of their error would be reimbursed. My bank was unable to do anything because it was a pending charge and had not gone through yet.Because of this I went ahead and paid my rent hoping the charge would fall off. It did n't fall off until 5 days later and as a result my rent bounced and I was charged {$200.00} in fees. I contacted check n go and advised I have screen shots of my bank acct as well as a letter from my bank proving all of this. The rep spoke with his manager who said that they will not help me because they do n't show it in their system. I asked to speak with the manager and I was told no to go online and complain.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
While client and husband were married, husband took out a mortgage loan in XXXX from National City Mortgage ( n/k/a PNC Bank ). The loan is evidenced by a Note signed by the husband and deed of trust signed by my client and her then husband on the home which they owned as tenants by the entirety. My client and her husband were divorced in XXXX XXXX. As part of the divorce decree, my client was awarded the home. But the divorce decree also requires her to assume the mortgage loan. My client has tried to find out the status of the loan but PNC will not talk with her even though she has sent them copies of the divorce decree and is now the sole owner of the property. She has been making mortgage payments since XXXX XXXX, XXXX but has no idea whether PNC has been applying her payments to the loan because PNC wo n't talk to her or send her bank statements. Recently, she heard from a third party that PNC has been returning all of her payments to her ex husband. She can not confirm whether this is true because PNC wo n't tell her anything about the loan and her ex husband wo n't tell her. She is reluctant to send in another monthly payment if PNC is simply going to send it to her ex husband. At the same time, she fears that if she does n't send the payment, PNC may declare a default. My client needs complete information about the application of her payments and a borrower response package so that she can apply for a contemporaneous loan assumption and modification.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
PNC bank offered promotion {$300.00} for creating account. 
I applied for account XXXX/XXXX/2015 over phone and agent emailed me coupon with conditions. 
One of required conditions was to have total Direct deposit at {$5000.00} within 60 days. 
This and all other conditions were met by XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
Account was created according to PNC papers on XXXX -- XXXX/XXXX/2015 and corresponding documents were sent and delivered to me on XXXX XXXX, 2015. 
Until that I did not even know for sure that account will be approved moreover did not have account number. 
PNC did honor their obligation to pay Promotion bonus. 
It is likely because they started counting from their internal work for account creating rather than from the moment I as account holder became capable to handle my account and in particular assign my Direct deposit to this financial institution. 
Until I received paperwork it was their account though on my name and it was not mine. 
I requested to compensate delay on those several days because in no way I could use my account before having account number. By the way PNC failed to email me any info confirming account creation and when I called over phone their agents twice could discover status of my account. 
I found this as dishonest practice.
