Complaint narrative:
WELLS FARGO committed so many acts of treason and regulation violations stacked on top of each other XXXX after another after another it was like a machine XXXX was aimed at my head and it was consumer assault all the way.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not given enough info to verify debt
Company: Miller, Stark, Klein and Associates
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been receiving multiple calls from XXXX at Miller Stark Kline. They claim that i have 3 complaints against for a debt and want my social security number to verify its me. I refused to give this information over the phone for identity theft concerns and asked that it be sent to me in writing. At first, they refused and indicated that they did not have to send it writing. I said that I have no knowledge of any debts being owed that I would have to verify -- the woman began speaking over me and said that this was a mediation. I advised her that I was an attorney and that this was NOT a mediation and she was not following proper procedure to collect a debt. At which point she hung up. She then called back a few minutes later and wanted my address. I said, if you have debt that I owe you have my information and address. She then said she would see me in court again and hung up. I have no problem paying money that is owed. However, I have been up to date on all of my bills for a number of years and I have no knowledge of any debts being owed. It is also improper to have not written communication about a debt and instead a violent phone call demanding information. This seems to be violation of the FDCA.

Complaint narrative:
Recovery one had a debt that showed on my credit report which I found to be fraud. In first attempts to contact them to even find out where the debt was from they did n't mini miranda me, refused to answer questions or let me speak with a supervisor and then hung up on me. I called back and spoke with a supervisor she lied and said she heard the convo and that he did mini me, which he did after I mentioned it to him 5 minutes into the convo. I advised her he was rude and unprofessional I advised i wanted ti speak with someone higher than her and she said she would maybe try anf have someone call back next week and that didnt set right with me so I hung up. I was in communication with the company the debt originated from after that and they put in an order with recovery one to remove the debt from my report due to fraud as I am attempting to buy a home, and this is the only hold up. It had been two weeks and I contacted recovery one again to see what the issue was, the guy first states that its not in his office he ca n't help and that it will take up to 120 days to be removed I advised I didnt have that kind of time. I asked if i could deal with someone in this office because the other office was rude and unprofessional and he rudely asked what they supposedly did I tried to explain and he said there was nothing he could do and dont know what to tell me. I advised him i want to speak with a supervisor in his office he kept dodging the question and told me he will get me the number to the othet office. Then i advised i read reviews online and the company had nothing but bad reviews he got even ruder and said yeah the thing about debts is noone wants to pay them i advised this is fraud though and i really need it resolved and i understand becausr i actually do student loan collections and he said thats way different i said yes i know because we actually get ourr money. Then i asked him four times for the number he said you know what if youre so professional and know so much about debt handle it yourself and hung up.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card — 
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX : The following is the over view of my issue with AMEX debit cards. This issue has occurred nearly a dozen times. The issue is AMEX making an error in processing a payment/ return. The amount of time to have wrongly removed monies from the account runs nearly 8 business days which is nearly 2 weeks of a consumer not having access to their own money. Although VP 's contacted me, the error was not corrected. 

I am contacting you concerning the recent scandal involving the XXXX XXXX. Due to a similar issue with AMEX, I will be addressing the issue in the same manner as I and my partners addressed the issue below concerning XXXX. The case is now part of the XXXX case to break up XXXX and fine the corporation {$6.00} XXXX http : XXXX. 

We are taking the XXXX approach to addressing the massive and industry wide scam of stealing from consumers and inconveniencing them in a very harmful way. For example AMEX and most of these cards encourage the working class and poor to have Social Security, XXXX, their paychecks, etc. directly deposited to debit cards. As in the XXXX XXXX situation those funds are made unavailable through errors, and other unethical practices to increase revenue for the card companies. We will be calling on the federal and state governments to take action that bars swipe fees, any wait time for consumers to have access to their monies due to error or profit gouging by card companies. The movement will involve reaching the public and legislators through press releases, press conferences, taking legal action, and boycotting companies that are in the consumer exploitation business. 

If your organization would like to participate please let me know how we can help.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened a checking account with Bank of america ( BofA ) on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I did it because Bofa offers the possibility of no international fees when a client uses affilliatted banks out of the XXXX. I specifically asked the costumer service Rep ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who took my information to check this for me. He confirmed that in XXXX as well as in XXXX I could use ATM without penalty if they were from The XXXX Bank. Prior to my departure I again called to reconfirm the affilliatted banks in XXXX and XXXX. I spoke to XXXX - Costumer service- on XXXX XXXX 2015, and again I was told that I could use XXXX bank to make withdrawals without being assessed a fee. I travel to XXXX between XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. 
To my surprise when I received the checking acct. statement for the balance beginning XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX I noticed that I had service fees for withdrawals made at XXXX Bank in XXXX and in XXXX. Immediately I contacted Bank of America to dispute those charges and Spoke both to XXXX as well as XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015. XXXX mentioned that Bank of america used to have that bank as affiliated in XXXX and XXXX but that it had changed and that XXXX Bank was no more affiliated with the. She told me that as a courtesy they will remove XXXX of the service fees assessed but the others will remain. She told me that was all she could do and that I should do whatever I need to do. 
My complaint is that I should not be assessed any service fees for this withdrawals since I was very clear in asking XXXX different people from BofA about giving me the information about overseas fees and both mentioned XXXX Bank as affiliated in those countries.
