Company: MNE Services, Inc
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is that the representative for XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to repeatedly call my employer numerous times. Calling right back after they hang up. I have told them that I work for a school district and my employer does not approve of such calls. The representatives name is XXXX. His number is XXXX. He has started getting rude with the secretaries at the school. I tried talking with them but they could n't give me a date of when this supposed loan went through not the name of the company. They will only tell me that it is XXXX XXXX is a subsidiary of the company they are calling for. They could NOT produce any documentation that I had agreed to. They just said I owed {$720.00}. They will only provide the attachment I have sent. Anyone could have made this up.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
A fraudster went into two different branches, one in XXXX IL and one in XXXX  and withdrew out {$2500.00} from my account and then {$3500.00} from my account at a physical location on XX/XX/XXXX.  I realized the {$6000.00} was taken from my account and filed a claim with Chase on Saturday the XX/XX/XXXX. I understand the 30 days it may take to rectify but provisional credit should be provided and wont be. When speaking to the personal banker in a branch location in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX XXXX, he said Provisional credit would be provided within 1-3 days. I called today XX/XX/XXXX and was told no provisional credit will or can be given, even though my claim has been approved but its still under review. How can it be approved without a review? This has caused me a significant financial harm as I have a mortgage, and other bills to pay for along with taking care of my family. Chase does n't care about this situation this put me in as it basically cleaned my account out. This was solely an issue with Chase as they allowed two fraudulent transactions occur at their branch. My wife had her wallet stolen with her ID in it ( no account numbers were in there ) back on XX/XX/XXXX. We called Chase and informed them of the theft, yet no notes were placed of the theft on their teller profile. The fraudsters could n't have had the account number and would have needed to be provided by the teller when the fraudster went into the branch/drive thru. I called today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was told by an escalated claim rep- XXXX XXXX  around XXXX XXXX CST ) that provisional credit can not be given in this circumstance and I would have to wait up to the 30 days even though the level of financial harm this has put on me.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
After holding a secured credit card with Capital One since XX/XX/XXXX 2015, in which I deposited a total of {$3000.00}, I applied for a new account with the bank. After initially being denied for " security reasons '' ( they indicated they were unable to verify my identity, even though I had been a credit card customer for over two years, as well as a checking account customer ). Initially I was given a credit limit of {$500.00}, and after making prompt ( often, multiple ) payments every month and carrying no balance for six months, the bank finally increased my credit line by {$250.00}, to a total of {$750.00}. The bank refuses to acknowledge that I had spent, using the recently closed " secured '' credit card, more than {$65000.00} ( of which I earned no benefit, such as rewards or cash back ) without ever carrying a balance or being late. Requests to have my credit reviewed and an increase made are summarily dismissed, with a reason given that it is " too soon '' to request another increase, and no matter who I speak to at the bank, the standard response is that there is no means to have my account reviewed.
Additionally, I have been waiting more than three months for a refund of the secured funds deposited in 2015, to which the initial call ( nearly a month ago ) indicated a check had been sent and then returned by the postal service. After an additional four calls, each roughly one week apart, the bank has yet to provide an answer as to when the funds will be returned, nor have I received a check or credit, even though I have a Capital One checking account ( which I will soon be closing, as this bank clearly is not interested in my business ).
After making the mistake of recommending my father also use Capital One last year, for his business credit card needs, he was " rewarded '' with a {$2000.00} limit when his monthly spend ( also paid in full every statement ) averages {$40000.00}.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Account has been open since XXXX XXXX XXXX.
My boss made a payroll deposit XXXX XXXX XXXX by BANK TRANSFER. This procedure took 3 business days, so we tried to do a PICTURE UPLOAD of his check the NEXT pay period.
This took place XXXX XXXX XXXX  and the funds were transferred OUT of his account that very night., and made available to me the next day.
This only lasted a few hours, because they FROZE my account for suspected FRAUD!
I did speak to a security team member who told me they were automatically closing my account and they would send me a check for my funds in 5 -10 business days.
Being a credit card customer for years did n't make a bit of difference, even after I tried to explain the deposits and offered verification for this.
After useless follow up calls and faxes, it is now 2 full weeks later, and they have not fully closed my account OR sent me a check with MY MONEY.
After each call, all they tell me to do is leave a message with the team ( intake only ) and they will call me back ... well I DO, but they DO N'T.

Complaint narrative:
We are still processing a short sale with Astoria. On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed the last remaining requested documentation to XXXX XXXX. She responded to my email that she would review that document and advise me that afternoon whether the foreclosure sale date of XX/XX/XXXX has been postponed. She did not respond as promised. I called Astoria this morning, XX/XX/XXXX, to confirm the foreclosure sale date has been postponed. I spoke with XXXX. I asked her as to a status of postponing the sale date. She said she does n't see that XXXX XXXX notated the file requesting for a postponement from the investor. She said the processor in her absence is XXXX. I asked her to check with XXXX to see if they have postponed the sale date. XXXX stated that she does n't have the document and XXXX does and she will review it for postponement once she gets back from vacation on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked for a supervisor since it 's not appropriate to hold up the entire process for one person 's vacation. She transferred me to XXXX, the " Team Lead '' who says he does n't have the document I confirmed XXXX XXXX had yesterday. I asked him to check her email since she did n't upload it so the rest of the office could see it and XXXX does n't have access to her email to retrieve the document. Once again, XXXX XXXX has lied to me she did not review the document and she failed to update me as promised before she left for vacation. Astoria has continued to provide inferior customer service and I should n't have to spend 90 minutes on the phone with them to get someone to assist with an issue. Astoria continues to  make promises it does n't ever keep.
