Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX a total of {$1400.00} was taken from two personal accounts as an off-set recovery for a debt owed by an XXXX. I was a member of the XXXX along with my husband. When the XXXX was opened in XX/XX/XXXX a bank account and business credit card was opened with Branch Banking and Trust ( BB & T ). The credit card was in default after a steep decline in business revenue and the XXXX  was in the process of being dissolved. I personally bank with BB & T and on the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed my personal bank accounts had money extracted from them as an off-set recovery for the XXXX 's credit card. I believe that the bank had no right to collect monies owed by the XXXX through my personal earnings. My earnings are from a full-time job that is not part of the dissolved business/XXXX. I 've contact the bank and spoke with XXXX XXXX, Market Leader III who called BB & T on my behalf as she too was under the impression that they could not collect against an XXXX She also noticed that the business/XXXX bank account had been set up improperly.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery is reporting two different collections accounts as something different. They are listing themselves as a factoring company on one account and listed the account as open on another. They also stated that a payment was made in XX/XX/XXXX and a payment was NEVER made to this company. This is after I disputed the information with the credit bureas and they said every thing is correct. They continually change dates and remove accounts and put them back on a few months later. Now they are listing as factoring company and open accounts and they are both collection accounts.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to dispute a charge on my XXXX XXXX  from a company called XXXX. The charges totaled over {$20000.00} around the time of XX/XX/XXXX.

I think misunderstood my dispute because I got a letter denying my dispute claim for the reasons not being within the 60 days after suspected errors on my statement, However the problem here is not about an error, but instead the reason for my dispute is : I did not receive the product and services as was described to me. I find that not only did they misrepresent and not provide the services, they knowingly mislead me and coerced me in to giving them an outrageous amount of money to purchase the Platinum Ecommerce Website and Stage 3 Marketing Package because I was led to believe I would be getting a website with marketing that was superior to my current online business, yet it was completely under their control. I paid the hefty {$20000.00} for a XXXX site thats is worthless and horrible backend functionality. in the end it has cost me time and money ( due to lack of efficiency ) they have kept my money for a product they never delivered.

PLEASE HELP ME GET MY MONEY REFUNDED AND HELP PUT A STOP TO OTHERS BEING DECEIVED!

In my credit report it shows 2 late payment to my mortgage company ( Ditech ) with dates of XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I am a resident of XXXX XXXX. Our island was hit by Hurricane Maria in XX/XX/XXXX. That was the month the residual on my lease was due of which I was unaware. The bank never sent a letter or called me to inform me of this. First Bank which is the lender, sent out an email informing customers that due to the impact of the hurricane they would not charge the monthly payments to customers. Since my lease was auto pay, it stopped during XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, but it was not due to their hurrican relief effort, it was because the {$12000.00} residual was due and they never informed me. I only became aware when I received collections calls. I left the island to be with family in XX/XX/XXXX so I was unable to do anything. Once I returned the last week of XX/XX/XXXX, I traded the car in for another one.  But they had already reported my lease 60 days past due, adversely impacting my credit score. In  addition, they made daily collections calls during that time, even when I explained my problem over and over, resulting in emotional distress.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In the first quarter of XX/XX/XXXX We were delinquent on the mortgage payments with Wells Fargo. We received the attorney demand letter dated XX/XX/XXXX for the balance due in the amount of {$17000.00} ( copy included in the attachments ) We requested a reinstatement amount to bring the account current. We were advised it would take 10 days to produce. Wells Fargo provided a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. The account was reinstated on XX/XX/XXXX with the amount  requested. THEREAFTER an additional {$1000.00} was assessed to the account as an " unpaid advance balance ''. When I initially inquired about the fees I was informed verbally that they will eventually fall off the statement when the funds get posted to the account. I was never disclosed what these fees were for. I was never asked to pay these fees via my monthly statements. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a demand letter for reinstatement that did include the {$1000.00} PLUS the late fee. However, in their letter dated XX/XX/XXXX they state they do not include late fees on reinstatement quotes. ( which is a contradiction ) In XX/XX/XXXX when I initiated the request for full payoff I noticed these a were still  attached to the account and included in the payoff figure. When I inquired as to the exact break down and purpose of the fees I was informed {$560.00} Attorney fees, and {$460.00} in filing costs. I 've gone through an extensive process to dispute the fees and request a detailed explanation of the fees and PROOF via a copy of a paid invoice for services rendered. I do not believe these charges are true and correct. The attorney fee was quoted in writing and paid {$840.00} ( why would they neglect to include the additional {$560.00} of their entire fee in the reinstatement figure ) and the filing costs are being quoted as {$460.00} - filing what? There certainly is n't more than {$6.00} in filing fees reflected in the public records to record the cancelation of the XXXX XXXX. I have requested several times DOCUMENTATION of the paid fees - NOT JUST A WRITTEN EXPLATION FOR IT. This dispute prevented me from paying my balance in full for over two month causing additional interest to accrue. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid my account in full vowing to resolve this situation by any means possible.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I took advantage of a 0 % balance transfer offer. I have been making my monthly payments as required. I have continued to use the card for miscellaneous monthly expenses. My monthly payments have been enough to cover the minimum payment due in addition to the monthly misc. charges and a large chunk of the balance transfer. The credit card company has been charging me interest every month on the miscellaneous monthly charges. It was my understanding that my payment amount would be applied first to the monthly minimum, then to the monthly charges, and than to the balance transfer. I should not be charged interest if I am paying those monthly charges in full each month. However, The bank will not credit me those interest fees.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I opened a 48 month Auto Loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Loan amount was for XXXX. The account was opened on XX/XX/XXXXand closed onXX/XX/XXXX ; the total length of the Loan was 3 years 7 months. The loan was paid off early, and my payments were 100 % on-time with know missed payments in the 3 year 7 month term of the loan. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX properly reported that the Loan was successfully completed, and the account was closed successfully. After the successful report from XXXX XXXX my Credit Score dropped from a XXXX to a XXXX ... a 40 plus drop in my Score.

My dispute Is Not with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX properly reported the term of the loan for almost 4 years, this is a XXXX XXXX XXXX. My dispute is with the Credit Bureaus Itself. My Credit Score dropped over 40 points for closing a account for XXXX dollars, that I successfully maintained for almost 4 years, with 100 % on-time payments. I did not get any positive rating or increase in my Credit Score at all for paying off a XXXX dollar Auto Loan successfully. I am respectfully requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter. Because if this is happening to other Hard Working Americans and Military Veterans, the CFPB should be putting a stop to this injustice immediately. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.
