Complaint narrative:
LEGAL CONSTRUCTIVE CONSUMER FRAUD EXPOSED The FTCs Bureau of Consumer Protection stop unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices by collecting reports from natural person consumers and conducting investigations, suing companies and people that break the law, developing rules to maintain a fair marketplace, and educating natural persons consumers and business about their rights and responsibilities. 
Consumers Fraud is a deliberate misrepresentation on which a banking business intends for natural person consumers to rely. Consumer fraud is a form of misrepresentation committed by beneficiary seller banks or financial institutions against a buyer or a group of buyers that are natural person investment companies to whom a banking business deliberately misrepresented any Social Security Number card thing with the intent that a natural ( fool ) person consumer will rely on the misrepresentation that a SSN is used for identity verification purposes, resulting in harm or loss to par value, at least to some natural person consumer who believes so. 
Consumer fraud is barred by statute and, unlike common-law fraud of agency undisclosed principal doctrine, in most jurisdictions is complete at the time of a deliberate misrepresentation of a SSN as identity or the commission of a deceitful and fraudulent practice. 
An action against a banking corporation or financial institution for consumer fraud does not require PROOF of reliance on the misrepresentation by or deception of a natural person consumer. 
Consumer fraud committed by a beneficiary seller Bank of collateral securities, such as bills or notes belonging to a natural person consumer, involved with interstate commerce is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission , Bureau of Consumer Protection that is authorized to stop fraudulent practices against SSN card holders.

Complaint narrative:
I am not a BofA customer. 
I received 4 emails from what I believe to be spam, but I am not sure, the phone number is XXXX and listed in the email. The emails knew my full name and email address. 

I called BofA to confirm that I am not a customer and there was nobody opening an account in my name but there is no number to find for fraud nor was I able to speak with any customer service rep for BofA. 

I googled the phone number and this seems to be an issue and I want it to be known that I am not a BofA customer and if BofA has allowed someone to setup an account in my name I will be forced to legal action. 

Basically is BofA wasnt corrupt and had a decent customer service department, this would've been handled.

On XX/XX/2023, I spoke with a representative of Portfolio Recovery via telephone call and requested the original contract with my signature, the original creditor information, including names, address, and phone number of the original creditor, the payment history, with the itemized billing associated with the account, and proof of ownership of the debt that is owed. As of XX/XX/2023, I had not received this information, going past the allotted 30 days for this information to be turned over to me. I requested in writing on XX/XX/2023, for Portfolio Recovery to provide the above documentation. On XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023, I received a letter in the mail from Portfolio Recovery with billing statements from the account, however it didn't include the payment history, the itemized billing associated with the account, or the original contract with my signature on it. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 609 A1A, Portfolio Recovery is required by law to verify through physical verification of the original signed contract, all accounts that you post on a credit report. I demand to see verified proof, and until the above documentation can not be provided to me, I do not believe validity has been established. I am asking Portfolio Recovery to provide the payment history, the itemized billing associated with the account, and the original contract with my signature on it. If they are unable to produce these documents, then the debt needs to be removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Hi I am having another problem with HSBC bank. My mother went into the hospital in XXXX and now is in XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX I went to HSBC bank in XXXX NY to have power of attorney for my mother XXXX XXXX account. brought the power of attorney to the bank and delt with XXXX XXXX. I signed the forms and did what he said I had to do and he told me he would let me know when it was done. It is going on 18 days since I went there and I have not heard back. When I try to get in touch with him there is no answer and I can not leave a message because it says mailbox is full. I have tried to call the branch but they do not answer the phone, I repeatedly redialed the phone about 50 times on numerous occasions and got the same results. It is impossible to contact or speak to anyone at that branch. I have gotten through to customer service twice but each time they told me there is nothing they can do on their end. I need to take care of my mothers bills while she is in the hospital that is the reason for the POA .How can I get it done when customer service can not help and I can not get in touch with the branch. This is the third complaint I am filing about HSBC bank for three different problems. This is the worst bank I have ever delt with and want to close out these last accounts and never have to deal with them again. They are also charging XXXX dollars a month service fee on the account and the longer they drag this the more money it will cost my mother.

Truth in lending violations. Inaccuracies in the Annual percentage rate, finance charges and the amount financed. Thus violating my consumer rights as defined by 15 U.S.C. at 1605 ; 1606. On XX/XX/2022, I went there for a consumer credit transaction, and due to my knowledge as of the timing of this complaint, Ive realized that this whole transaction was a fraudulent act that was taken against me during this transaction and after this transaction, the dealership which I went to XXXX XXXX dealership XXXX XXXX, FL. Violated all Acts 1 Act : Title 15 U.S.C. 1605 Due to my knowledge the finance charge covers everything, including premium.. which I was wrongfully made to purchase myself knowing the finance charges covers premium.. also there was cash involved which they made me put a down payment of [ {$1000.00} } Act 2 : title 15 U.S.C. 1611 I was given false information throughout this whole transaction Act 3 : 15 U.S.C. 1662 They promoted a down payment which is illegal and unlawful Due to dishonesty in this transaction, I do not know if this company really had an insurance license, because I know its required to sell consumer contracts.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted an application for a credit card, application number XXXX. I received a denial letter dated XX/XX/2023. Shortly after I was informed by email that I had been denied, my wife submitted an application for the very same card and was approved. Their letter dated XX/XX/2023. Both my wife and I have the same income information as we submit a joint income tax return. However, the bulk of the income in this filing comes from my sources. We also have essentially the same credit information because we are authorized users in each others credit cards where the other is the primary card holder. 
The only real difference between our applications with Wells Fargo is that I have an obviously male first name while my wife has an obviously female first name. It is clear that Wells Fargo has allowed its algorithm to make decisions based on XXXX that are prohibited by law. In fact, after my wife retired from teaching over 40 years ago when we were married, with a few minor exception, she has not been employed during that entire period.
