Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: FIRSTBANK
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Companies Involved : FirstBank of Colorado XXXX XXXX I am writing you in regards to the XXXX Account Updater program. Now my card was compromised a week back and my bank issued me a new card. I had the card in the mail along with a letter from my bank informing me to update important account information. Now I checked my bank statement the other day and saw that XXXX charged my account for about {$10.00}. I specifically know in my mind that I did not give out my new card to XXXX. I called my bank and explained the issue and they informed me that it is an automatic payment that updates my accounts. I did not authorize my new card number to be charged but it was anyway. My problem is not the amount but the fact that XXXX got my private card information from my bank. I am writing to you on Tuesday XXXX XXXX, 2017 as I just got off the phone with my bank FirstBank of Colorado. I asked for them to opt me out of this program but I doubt they will. This is important and big, and is something that people should know about as companies should n't be able to charge your card without you knowing or without your consent.

Company: Seattle Service Bureau, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted at my place of work by XXXX XXXX of National Service Bureau. After I indicated that I was the person he was looking for, I told him twice to never contact me at that number again and disconnected the call. Immediately thereafter, XXXX XXXX called my work number again to " verify my employment '' with one of my coworkers. This is absurd since he just finished speaking to me at the very same number. Also, he asked my coworker to give me a message to contact him and left his phone number. Since then, XXXX XXXX called me at my place of work again on XX/XX/XXXX to inform me that he could in fact call me at work. I again instructed him not to ever call me at work again. This is a violation of my rights under the FDCPA.

Company: Medical Data Systems, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I went onto   XXXX   XXXX   on  XXXX / XXXX /2017 and saw a debt for Medical Revenue Services. I got the phone number and called to figure out what the bills were. I wanted an itemized bill. I spoke with   XXXX    who is a representative of Medical Revenue Service. She was very rude. When I asked for an itemized bill she said that they had sent the itemized bill on 3 separate occasions and that she would not send anymore bills with out a payment arrangement. She also proceeded to tell me that I owed them more money than what they were reporting to the credit bureaus. I owed them a total of {$4800.00} she said the amount included the {$1400.00} and the {$2200.00} that are already on my credit report and the amounts of {$650.00} and {$520.00} that they are not report at the moment and I had no knowledge of nor will they give me proof of the debt. If I setup a payment arrangement today they wont report the other amounts. After some thinking and the fear of new stuff popping up on my credit report I setup a one time settlement. I still wanted a copy of my bills to prove that I owed the debt. She also told me that we would have to wait to get approval from the hospital for the settlement and that would give me a 25 % savings and the lady representing the hospital had gone on vacation and would be later that day or the next day.
After speaking to a friend and doing research the next day I called to speak with   XXXX   's supervisor. I was transferred to  XXXX  the supervisor. I told   XXXX   about my conversation with  XXXX  and how I was requesting an itemized copy of the bills and how she setup the payment arrangement with threats of placing the other items on my credit report. He got mad and told me he would terminate the payment arrangement. I told him I wanted to know what I was being charged for. I said I will pay my debt but I do n't even know what its for. He told me on 3 separate occasions they mailed out the bills I explained that I never received them.
Later that day I called to confirm the arrangement amount. I then called   XXXX    back and told him I am canceling the arrangement and would like the itemized bills sent to me. He got verbally abusive and told me I did n't want to pay my debt and that he will not send me any bills and be would send my debt to the State of South Carolina and they can send me the itemized bill and that he would start to report the other debts. Also he did want me to call back.
I just want a copy of the itemized bills to know what i am paying for. My request for it to be sent certified so we can both make sure I get it was denied because he said under the law they do not have to.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied to Discover for a credit card. It has into APR of 0 % and after that the APR can vary from 11.99 to 23.99 As advertised, it reads : * Intro purchase APR is 0 % for 14 months from date of account opening ; then the standard purchase APR applies. Intro Balance Transfer APR is 0 % for 14 months from date of first transfer, for transfers under this offer that post to your account by   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 ; then the standard purchase APR applies. Standard purchase APR : 11.99 % variable to 23.99 % variable, based on your creditworthiness.
I have FICO score of  XXXX . I received a 23.99 APR! This is VERY misleading when it specifically says " based on your creditworthiness ''. How is it I received the HIGHEST APR with an excellent FICO score. I called the company and they said after a year they could look at possibly lowering it. I talked to the Manager and he said he could close the account. I told him if I close it, it affects my credit score and he said " I do n't know anything about that '' ... and he is a manager?!?!?! I feel this company is very misleading! It is a way of tricking you into thinking you will get a good APR, and when you get it, you do n't ... in hopes that you are not able to pay off your balance and the APR will skyrocket to 23.99!

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: PNC Bank N.A.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I opened checking account with PNC bank when I started to work in the US ( XXXX, PA ). When I left the US I asked bank for international use of debit card. In XX/XX/XXXX PNC bank issued new card valid till XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I moved to XXXX ( I am XXXX citizen ). But on the XX/XX/XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX, I received letter from PNC, that my account closed on XX/XX/XXXX without explaining the reason. My debit card was blocked also without explaining the reason. I send letter through secure online banking message center, but only on XX/XX/XXXX I received letter with cashier 's check for the balance of XXXX XXXX. My bank in XXXX refused to deposit cashier 's paper check on my account and recommended me to use electronic transfer saying that this is usual internetional banking practice. I tried to find other bank or company in XXXX to cash out the PNC check, but nobody here accept paper check any more, in the era of smartphones and electronic transfers. My XXXX XXXX expired and I can not go to US to collect the money ( almost all my saving, I am adult and money for medicine ). On XX/XX/XXXX I sent complaint to PNC bank to inform the bank about impossibility to deposit check in XXXX and asked to annul the check and remit money via XXXX electronic transfer or through online banking or through my debit card to my account in XXXX ( complaint Reference Number XXXX ). But on XX/XX/XXXX PNC bank refused XXXX trasfer and refused to accept the return of the check, cynically apologizing for inconvenience for preventing me from the access to my money. As a result, from XX/XX/XXXX I have no access to my money that I entrusted the bank and do not see any way out of the situation. On XX/XX/XXXX, 6 months after issuing the casier 's check, it will be post-dated and I will loose even theoretical possibility to get my savings. PNC bank completely ignored my interest as customer and refused to cooperate to solve the problem. It was PNC bank who initiated closing of checking and saving account and bank should did everything to protect my interests, but didnot. Nobody asked me what is the suitable way of remitting the balance to me. Please note, that my account was closed immediately after I informed bank about relocation to XXXX. The bank knew that they use antiquated paper system that doesnot work outside the US.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed an issue within my credit reports through XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in regards to my account with Navient. I am currently showing a 90 day late payment from XX/XX/XXXX. This payment was late due to an error in the transition of XXXX XXXX to Navient. Prior to the transition, payments were made on time monthly which is evidenced by my account history. Due to issues with the transition, automatic payments were no longer being pulled and I was not aware of this. The lack of automatic payments caused by the transition led to the account being 90 days late. During that period, I never received any correspondence showing the account to be late. There was never anything in my inbox showing this and no emails ever notified me of it being late. I only realized it once I received my first ever account statement from Navient, in XX/XX/XXXX. At this point it was already 90 days late. I immediately scheduled payment to make up for the missed payments and kept the account current until it was closed through consolidation in XX/XX/XXXX. I am requesting that this information of a 90 day late payment be removed from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Navient/XXXX XXXX did not do their part to ensure my account was kept current nor did they notify me when they canceled the recurring payments. This has led to a very negative ding on my credit profile that has led to a number of issues for me personally. Since this account is no longer open and unfairly hurting my credit, I would like for it either to have the 90 day late removed or remove the account completely from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.
