Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount
Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
on or about XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase for a {$20.00} shirt at the XXXX, ct day street festival. The vendor used his cube for my purchase which should have charged my checking account {$21.00} with Ct. sales tax included. The next day I checked my banking record and saw that the charge to my account by the merchant was put in as $ XXXX.xx and some change. I imediately filed a complaint with People 's United Bank for an adjustment which the paperwork was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX.  Documentation for all this can be found in my first complaint # XXXX. Peoples response to my claim is that they are still trying to reach the merchant and that they were giving the merchant another 45 days to respond? The bank has had significantly more than 45 days to resolve this issue and charge back the merchants bank/ cube company and return my overcharged funds. It has been 129 days since my adjustment was filed and even longer since the original purchase. Can someone please help me to recover my funds

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I started 72 month auto loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I made 100 % on time and in full payments ( confirmed by all three credit reporting agencies and Hyundai themselves on over 10 occasions ).
I had made the last payment on my auto loan on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$310.00}, which generated a refund of {$1.00} as well as the issuance of my Title and pay off notice ( which were printed on XX/XX/XXXX and mailed to me ).
There was another payment made on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$310.00} ( my account was set up direct withdrawls ), which was also refunded to me due to over payment in late XX/XX/XXXX.
There was another payment made on XX/XX/XXXX ( again, automatically taken from my account ) in the amount of {$20.00}, which was also refunded to me due to overpayment.
On XX/XX/XXXX, Hyundai advised all credit reporting agencies that though my account was fully paid, and title issued, I was placed in delinquent status with {$0.00} due. After over 20 calls to Hyundai, no one can tell me why I was listed as delinquent as my balance was paid off, title issued and they advised I was NEVER late on a payment. This has caused my credit score to drop over 60 points.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent XXXX, XXXX, XXXX AND Huyndai all the materials I have ( payment history, title, pay off letter, etc .... ) to dispute this delinquate status.
On XX/XX/XXXX, all three agencies corrected my credit report to show that my account was closed/paid on time/never late as it should be.
On XX/XX/XXXX, Hyundai, once again, reported my account to all three credit reporting agencies as delinquent with a XXXX balance on this closed account. As a result, my credit dropped another 62 points. 

I have made, again, in excess of over 5 calls to XXXX and Hyundai trying to get my report corrected and to get Hyundai to correct whatever system issue keeps incorrectly reporting my account as delenquate to the reporting agencies. They advised me that the only way to do this is to dispute it again. They can not tell me if this will ever rectify the issue or if I need to dispute the same issue every single month because Hyundai wont correct their system. 

I am trying to purchase a home and this 62 point drop in my credit is preventing this from happening. Hyundai is not helping me with this matter in ANY way other than telling me to keep disputing it.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is directed toward Bank of America. 

I always pay my credit card in full each month with the Bank of America Travel Rewards Card. When I paid myXX/XX/XXXX bill, I was not sure that my payment of {$840.00} went through, since I did not receive an email confirmation. 

Therefore, I paid the {$840.00} ( again ), and later on, realized that I probably paid twice. The payment interface allowed me to submit the {$840.00} twice even though it was a very specific amount, and a reasonable person would probably stop me from paying the same amount again. 

I called my checking account bank, XXXX, to stop the charge. Then I called Bank of America to make sure that everything is okay on their end, I was told that all was fine. 

Three days later, I was charged {$25.00} for a bounced check fee. I called Bank of America to see if they can waive the charge, since 1 ) it was an obvious double payment and I was not warned, and 2 ) I was already told by a customer service rep everything was fine. After spending more than 20 minutes on the phone, I was told no by two separate customer service reps who suggested it was my fault.
Bank of America should make it easy for consumers to not double-pay their bill, and to at least warn us that there is a fee involved. This should be stated clearly on their bill pay page, and the fact that it is not there is a lie of omission.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a Home Depot credit card statement for my card at XXXX XXXX this morning, Thursday XXXX  XXXX,2017 informing me of an interest charge of {$240.00} on a balance of {$690.00}. 
The company handling the card for Home depot is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a Federally regulated institution. The only address they gave me is XXXX. XXXX XXXX - XXXX - TN XXXX. 
I offered to pay the {$690.00} right away but they refused, arguing I had benefited from a previous forgiveness of interests in similar circumstances. 
I argued that they should have given me earlier notice and they said I had received their regular statements. They stated that their interest amounts to $ 25.99 % but of course {$240.00} for {$690.00} balance is way more than that. It is a trick to charge usury interests and this is why I file this complaint. 
I am asking that they forget the {$240.00} if I pay the balance right away and be timely advised of their agreement.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX a credit charge of {$1400.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX to my citi credit card was a fraudulent charge. I tried the dispute process and citi had issued a temporary credit. I provided all documentation while citi went back and forth with the merchant. This went on for about three months. I called citi when they sent a statement/communication stating that the dispute was closed and in the merchants favor. I explained all of the details, and the representative issued a XXXX credit. This still leaves my account overdrawn and over the limit. Now I am having a hardship paying the balance which is now over {$1800.00} with interest and is due the 20th of this month.

Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a personal loan online and received three pre-approval offers from One Main Financial XXXX. I selected one of the pre-approval offers for a unsecured personal loan that had the terms clearly stated on the website. A representative from One Main Financial XXXX contacted me by telephone to go over the details and asked me several questions about my income and expenses which all the information I gave the representative was exactly what I had submitted online. The representative then tells me they would not be able to help me and I was it approved for the loan. The reasoning 4 not being approved part the employee was due to my living expenses and debt to income ratio. The online loan application process and follow up with Company employee not only displays false advertisement and misleading information but very poor business practices. After receiving the disapproval I contacted the employee again to let her know there had been a mistake with the figures I had given her for my living expenses by several hundred dollars. After recalculating the figures the employee provided another excuse of how they would not be able to help me with the loan and that I was still would not be approved due to their company policy. I asked the employee where I could find the information regarding what is required of the applicants to be qualified for the loan and or company policies that she referred to and I was told that information was not for me to know. Due to the treatment I received from the employee of OneMain Financial I feel I have not been afforded the same opportunities and fair treatment as other applicants would have been afforded, therefore due to being an individual on a very low fixed income due to XXXX XXXX have become a victim of lender discrimination.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my husband XXXX XXXX and I closed his accounts with HSBC. Despite that, we received a statement in XX/XX/XXXX for an amount we own as we accidently charged the HSBC card for a transaction we made. We paid the balance, called and went to a branch ( XXXX, NYC ) to confirm the accounts are not all closed. The banker and the call center representative confirmed all accounts are now closed. 
A YEAR later, XX/XX/XXXX, we received a statement in the mail informing us the card is closed. However, at the same week we received a later showing we have an amount due on the card. When we called the call center we were surprised to find that not only we have an amount due but that the bank has moved our account to COLLECTIONS! Which obviously impacts our credit score! we did NOT receive any notification of this amount  previously or were aware of such charge ( as we were told the card was closed ). 
We called the bank multiple times, each time the representative told us to call a different department ( from general to recovery to collections to disputes ). This is absolutely outrageous! Firstly because we did NOT use the card! Secondly, because even if we did, as the bank confirm the card was closed, the transaction should have been rejected! and THIRDLY, if a charge was made, we should have been informed BEFORE the case went to COLLECTIONS! HSBC has been harassing my husband who is a doctor and a resident at a hospital with a very limited time! they DAMAGED his credit score!! and they have accepted a charge on a CLOSED account!

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Loancare first gave me false information about cancelling PMI when I reached 80 % LTV and five years of payments in XX/XX/XXXX. It took them 2 months of additional time to give me appropriate information. I then paid down the LTV to 78 % immediately and the company tried to apply the payment months in advance rather than against principal. They also informed me PMI would end automatically when I reached 78 %. When I followed up they just denied the request without providing any additional criteria. My original appraisal was $ XXXX and I started payments XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and I reached $ XXXX inXX/XX/XXXX. I have made all payments timely. I meet all requirements and the company is simply lying to me on the phone and sending denial letters at this point.

I have sent letters to this company seeking that they validate the debt. They have failed to do so. This company continues to send 1 statement which does not itemize the amount of debt they say I owe them. I have never heard of this company, nor have I ever did any business with them. I have requested copies of any and all letters sent to me on behalf of this company. I have not received copies of all statements, invoices, receipts, summaries of account nor any document that bears my original signature. How then can this company say I owe them but yet they have nothing to substantiate their allegation. This erroneous, inaccurate item should not be reflected on my credit reports.I have contacted this company as well as the credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) seeking debt validation ( see attached ). This company continues to report this inaccurate, erroneous item to the credit bureaus. Why are they reporting that this account has terms of 1 month. Where is the proof that I agreed to terms of 1 month with this company? This company is violating my consumer rights as well as FDCPA.
