Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I opened Discover Savings account number XXXX. At the time there was an offer for a {$200.00} bonus if the account was funded with {$20000.00}. The terms of the offer read : " Apply for your first Discover Online Savings Account by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Enter offer code XXXX when applying. Deposit a total of at least {$15000.00} into your account by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to earn a {$150.00} Bonus or deposit a total of at least {$20000.00} into your account by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to earn a {$200.00} Bonus. '' I was able to successfully open the account online using the offer code XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

As of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I still have not received the {$200.00} bonus despite meeting the requirements of the promotion - {$20000.00} was deposited into the account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have called Discover several times asking about the status of the bonus and have been given multiple excuses as to why it has not been credited. These excuses include : XXXX The bonus will post I just need to wait until the end of XXXX. 
* When I called after the end of XXXX I was told the bonus " might '' post by the end of XXXX. 
* I was n't specifically targeted by the marketing department so I wo n't be getting the bonus -the offer did not mention anything about being targeted and it was available on Discover 's own website. 
* I did n't use the offer code on the online application - I did enter the code as it was the only reason I opened the account in the first place. 

I expect Discover to credit the {$200.00} bonus as I have met all of the requirements of their promotion. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I received a payment notification for the very first time and it had XXXX late charges on it. I immediately called and tried to speak with customer care and they just gave me the obvious blurb and it sounds like they are just reading a script about how we can only adjust XXXX payment. I had no idea I even had any charges on my account as the charge was an automatic renewal fee pushed to the account by costsco apparently 2 months back. I had no idea I even had a payment due and thought XXXX renewed the card at the beginning of each year like other accounts I have. Money wasnt even the issue, it was the point of getting no notification and now they tell me the late fee will hit my credit report and I have never had a late fee in my life. They said they emailed and I save all emails and never delete anything and I had nothing from them the dates they state the bill was sent. To top it off they said they would waive XXXX of the late charges but never did.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am in writing in response to a letter received from TD Bank on XX/XX/XXXX. Please see attachments for further details. 

This has been an ongoing problem with TD Bank. I have been willing and able to pay my mortgage for approximately over a year and a half at this point. The constant inter-departmental errors and miscommunications which have needlessly prolonged this situation seem to be continuing. 

Detailing the entire history of this account is beyond the purpose of this format. At this point, I am communicating through CFPB as a means of documenting and tracking my correspondence with TD bank. I received an escrow statement and application for CONSIDERATION for a loan modification. I have done this twice before with TD bank. each time, different departments erroneously altered terms due to miscommunications which led to my payments not being applied to my balance and continued foreclosure processing. 

Please see CFPB correspondence from TD bank on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative states that " He [ consumer ] can expect the Modification and Amendment Agreement to be mailed to him under separate cover, no later than 30 days from the date of our letter. '' I have not received any modification agreement to review. Moreover, this is the first letter I have received pertaining to my mortgage in approximately 150 Days, well over the 30 days stated in the correspondence on CFPB. 

My previous experiences have shown that the " modification application '' is a futile pursuit and I will not be expending resources to complete the application. Once again, I am fully committed to meeting my JUST obligations to TD bank and I ask that the bank reciprocate at least by means of clear and consistent communication.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX 2017, I went to BB & T at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX drive thru. My intent was to simply cash a check and to make a cash deposit into my checking account. The original teller asked what did I need help with and she was given the above request. She walked off and another teller named XXXX came to the Window. She took the  check and cash and make a deposit. When she gave me a receipt, I reiterated that I wanted to cash the check and only deposit the cash. She apologized and stayed she would void the transaction and re-do it. After this was done, she finally have me the cash from the check and she said other the money had been deposited as it originally should have. I drive off and continue on with my day. I check my account a few hours later to find out my account was overdrawn the actual amount I made the deposit for. I called the bank manager XXXX who stated she would call the operations manager and have my money reinstated to my account by end of business day. End of business day comes and I did not hear from XXXX nor any one from BB & T. As the consumer I was extremely upset because I had employees to pay which did not get paid and also accumulated late fees on bills that 's were due that day. BbandT finally refunded the money but was short {$100.00} of the original cash that was given to the teller and it also did not include the overdraft fees. I had to call XXXX back once again who said she would fix the problem. The overdraft fees finally were refunded but still missing the full amount originally deposited. I went into the branch and spoke with XXXX branch manager who could not clearly explain what happened to the rest of my refunded money. She referred me to operations manager who also did not refund the money. I also asked that the cameras be pulled and and interview with the teller that created this disaster. Still nothing and they refuse to refund the missing money. I will never recommend or bank with the financial institute ever again and I will not stop making complaints until my money is refunded!

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Wells Fargo credit card in XXXX 2017 with a promotional offer of spend {$500.00} in the first 3 months and get a {$200.00} cash rewards bonus. I spent {$1000.00} in less then the 3 month period, and did n't receive my promotional offer. I called several times, and the first time I called, they told me the offer was to spend {$1000.00}, not {$500.00} ( which I did anyway ), but I did n't take a screenshot of the offer, so already I was suspect of their integrity as I could not prove I was correct. First I was told I had to wait until after the 3 months had ended, then I was told it would happen on the next billing cycle. it has since been escalated a few times, and I still have not received my cash rewards bonus. I feel like the entire thing is fraudulent and a scam, and I honestly do n't expect to get my {$200.00}.
