Complaint narrative:
I had made purchase of litecoin from Coinbase a few weeks ago paying their fees and their basic cost. I happened to check my bank statement and they withdrew XXXX usdt from my bank account overdrafting my account for an unauthorized payment of the same exact amount I had paid weeks prior. I had called and confronted them and they said they cant discuss it further with me and hung up on me. I am one of many who has had this happen to them. No purchase was authorized and nothing was given in exchange for my money.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, after I received calls from several different companies promising me high earnings, I was persuaded by the representative at XXXX that it would not only benefit my business, but that without it, I would not succeed. So, I purchased their marketing packages, and the most expensive coaching ever, because I never received but a few very basic instructional calls leading to nothing, my mentor told me the marketing would put my business on the first pages of XXXX search engine and companies would come to me to sell their product, however, I cant even find my site on XXXX search at all ; when searched it returns saying not secure. 
I paid them {$2400.00} with my bank Chase Bank XXXX card in XX/XX/XXXX I have come to realize I paid several companies who led me to believe that I would receive great earnings, I should have known better, but it all ended up being internet fraud. I have tried disputing the charges with the merchant and ask for my money to be refund several times, but they have ignored my requests. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I PAID FOR SERVICES THAT WHERE NEVER PROVIDED TO ME AS EXPECTED! 
Please investigate this matter, it was suggested to me that if I file complaints with my government agencies for help in this matter. These companies have many complaints against them and its obvious by the list of charges that I was defrauded, I really need your help in getting my money back.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this hoping you can do something to keep a retired widow in her home. I was initially given a loan with Wells Fargo with too high of an interest rate, leaving me with a monthly payment that is impossible to afford. I am on a fixed income. 
When my husband passed away I contacted Wells Fargo about the monthly payment. They gave me a list of documents to provide them, which would always get lost, or would never be processed. This cycle happened over and over again, while I continued to get behind. When I called for help I would be transferred from one department to another and couldnt get even the simplest questions answered. 
The only help Ive been offered at this point is the advice I should leave my house and let them repossess it! Where would I go?

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017, at XXXX XXXX, I went to the Wells Fargo Branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL, XXXX, NC, XXXX to withdrawal cash in the amount of {$30000.00} from my personal checking and savings accounts. 

I was promptly told by the teller that I would have to sit down with a Banker to discuss taking that kind of money. I explained that I did not need to speak with a banker to withdrawal my funds. She then went to the manager who said they did not have enough cash in their vault and offered to give me {$10000.00} cash and the rest in a cashier 's check, which I would be charged for. 

I explained that this is unacceptable. 1 ) I should not be charged to take money out of my account, 2 ) I should not have to visit multiple banks to take out my cash, 3 ) I should not have to speak with a banker, so he can ask questions why I am taking cash out while he markets products to me. 

The manager said he would call other branches to see if I could visit their branch, and I declined. See # 2 above. The only other option was to take a cashier 's check where funds would be available next day ; however, I believe I should have access to my funds on-demand within reason. I do not think it is unreasonable to take out {$30000.00} cash for my own use without being charged.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I was a XXXX customer for over 12 years. One day I got the family plan with four phones. They told me that I qualified for a free tablet. I told them I didn't need it, wanted it or the extra cost. They told me it was free and wouldn't cost me anything. I asked is it 100 % free and they said yes. So I agreed to take it. I was told the bill would be about {$200.00} a month and I would also receive a {$600.00} rebate. It was not a mail-in rebate it was an in store rebate and there was nothing for me to do. 

The first bill was higher than expected but they told me that would happen so I wasn't worried, cause this happens every time I got a new phone with XXXX. On the second month the bill was still over {$900.00} I called them up and told them about the rebate that they never applied. after a few months of this happening I noticed that my bill was closer to {$270.00} a month. 

When I asked why it was so high they told me it was because I had five lines and I was paying for equipment cost. I told them I only had four lines and that I didn't have an equipment cost cause I got the free phones.They said I had a tablet and that was the fifth line and the equipment cost. I asked about it being free and they said that it didn't cost me anything the day I got it. I explained to them the meaning of " free '' but they had a different definition.then I did. I told them that I wanted to return the tablet and remove the phone line. I was told that they could not do that because I had the tablet for so long. I would have to call up XXXX to get it removed. 

When I called XXXX they told me I would have to pay a cancellation fee and pay off the tablet. I was not allowed to return it. The service at this point was so bad that I decided to cancel the entire contract. They originally told me I owed them {$900.00}. I asked about the rebate and they said I wouldn't get it cause I was canceling my account. I told them I wouldn't cancel if they got my bill right and give me what was promised. 

A few months later I got letter from a Debit collector claiming I owed {$1800.00}. I explained the entire story to them and they said they would close the account for {$1200.00}. One day I was looking at my credit report and noticed I had a collection notice for {$1800.00} I filed a dispute and for the past three years I have not heard from them or had a remark on my credit report. A few months ago I got a call from a debit collector telling me I owed the money. I now have a negative remark. After three years of not hearing from them they are now trying to collect on a debt that was taken care of? Can you please help me with this matter?

Company: URS Holding, LLC
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
Our account with XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospitals and Clinics was turned over to a collection agency called XXXX XXXX XXXX. When we realized this information we tried to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX  Hospitals who would no longer work with us regarding our account. We missed payments due to my husband 's multiple hospitalizations in XX/XX/2017, XX/XX/2017, and XX/XX/2017. We also tried to make payment arrangements with the collection agency XXXX, but we could not afford the payment arrangements they offered us. We offered to continue payment with what we could afford, and XXXX refused our payment we offered and stated that we would " HAVE TO GET A SHORT TERM LOAN FROM ONE OF OUR BANKS OR FILE BANKRUPTCY. '' I don't understand how collection agencies and hospitals can treat people this way, especially when we are trying to make arrangements to pay whatever we are able to pay. It is not an option for us to take a short term loan. My husband is recovering from XXXX and a XXXX XXXX XXXX and has just returned to work after being on medical leave for more than 2 years. We simply do not have any extra money ( certainly not the $ 500- $ 600/month ) which was the only payment arrangement offered to us by XXXX . Why can't they work with us or change the terms of the collection? I have never experienced anything like this before. This is not right by the hospitals or the collection agencies. My family will pay our medical debt, but we need help and flexibility so we can still continue to live and take care of our family. These payments are not reasonable or we wouldn't be in collections to begin with.
