Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2015 - RushCard notified me and other members to remove any funds from our accounts on Monday. Being as though I had no money in the account I disregarded the matter. My job would n't have posted my XXXX XXXX until the Following Friday, so in my mind there was no need for me to worry. 

XXXX XXXX, 2015 - RushCard posted my pending deposit to my account in the amount of {$1200.00}, but I was unable to access my funds because the card the money posted to was stolen. I tried to transfer my funds to another account, but system error messages on both the RushCard mobile app and website prevented me from doing so. 

XXXX XXXX, 2015 - I have tried to call RushCard several times about this matter and was told to provide my name, number, address, and someone will contact me. 

XXXX XXXX, 2015 to XXXX XXXX, 2015 - XXXX XXXX reached out to me via XXXX and told me to provide my name, number, and address and someone would reach out to me, I have called the customer service line and was told that same information days to follow, and I still have not received an answer. Every time I call now and request to speak to a representative the call disconnects. The website and the mobile app is still not working. I have not received no answer on when and how my issue will be resolved as of today XXXX XXXX, 2015.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: RSI Enterprises, Inc.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I got a letter today, XX/XX/XXXX, from RSI enterprises inc., saying that it was attempting to collect a debt from the DC office of tax and revenue. It says that I owe {$4900.00} for a tax period end date on XX/XX/XXXX. It then directs me to pay online XXXX. The issues include:XXXX I did not live in Washington, D.C. during the XX/XX/XXXX tax year, so I do not owe this debt. I would attach a receipt for my XX/XX/XXXX state tax return for the state where I was living, but I do n't want to give RSI more of my personal information. 

XXXX. If this even is a legitimate debt collector with bad data, and not an outright scammer, a ) this is the XXXX I 've heard about this issue -- has this hurt my credit because they notified me 5 years after the data error was made? b XXXX it says the principle was {$2400.00}, the interest is XXXX, and the penalties are {$600.00} -- they essentially XXXX the supposed debt? No wonder they did n't try and tell me sooner that they thought I owed this -- they could charge more interest/fees. 


XXXX. I am split on whether or not this is even a legitimate debt collector. " OfficialPayments.com '' is the most scammy sounding website I 've ever heard of. This is exactly what scammers do to try and trick people -- send official looking letters with threats of owed money, and then tell them to send money through sketchy .com websites. 

XXXX. The letter includes a logo for the " XXXX. '' If RSI Enterprises, inc. is actually a member -- they would have a ) a legitimate website, b XXXX better data. If they are a member of the " XXXX, '' they should be kicked out.

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX, I learned through XXXX that RushCard would be updating their system on XXXX XXXX from XXXX - XXXX. The RushCard post advised that you take out money just in case. I did not, because I felt that I had no immediate need for my money and a day or XXXX without, I could survive. 

Well, now it 's a week later and I still do not have access to my funds. It may seem like pennies to most, but I am the wage earner for my family of XXXX and EVERY penny counts. 

The lack of information regarding when RushCard will be fully functional and the encouragement for you to call, email, or message your info and someone will get back to ; only to receive a text about waiving fees and no further information about when everything will be back to normal. 

My husband and I have XXXX children, an XXXX XXXX old and a XXXX old and without having access to my money I was not able to properly feed the over the weekend. Do you know how had it is to get my XXXX child to eat something different? Let 's just say I could not wait until the weekend was over so he could be in school for breakfast and lunch ( FREE ) and eat what he is accustomed to. Dinner tonight is another story. 

If it were just me, you would n't have heard my complaint. But this is affecting my family. 

Sincerely, Head of Household

Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: Nexera Holding LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I wanted to refinance an existing ARM mortgage that was at 3.25 % and was to expire in late XXXX, with a new XXXX ARM at a lower rate. A company called Newfi finance offered a new XXXX ARM at 3.00 % in XXXX XXXX. My loan was less than 70 % loan to value. 
I provided every information they needed or asked for. They then requested that I pay for an appraisal to " lock in '' the rate. That appraisal cost me {$440.00}. I was assured that the loan was a go and was sent and E-signed all the the documents. Meanwhile the mortgage rates started to rise and suddenly the company rep was not returning my emails and phone calls. After a period of two months I finally called their corp headquarters and asked to speak with " some one in charge ''. At that time the gentleman informed me that there was a problem with verifying that I actually live at the residence since I use my business address as a mailing address on my utility bills ( I have used this address for over 25 yrs. It is safer for mail and identity theft as the mail is brought in to my business and handed to me 6 days a week ). I informed them that I can simply have the mailing address changed as I only get e-bills any more and did so right a way and sent them the information. I have never heard from them since, with the exception of a letter from a law firm claiming that I had not sent them the needed information. This firm has NEVER sent me a piece of mail. No " denial of credit '' or any other communication regarding my loan. They just hoped that I would go away. 
It is either discrimination ( I am an XXXX ) or greed as the mortgage rates ahd gone up. Either case is inexcusable.

I had a Target store card and they " upgraded '' it to a credit card that can be used anywhere and it was stolen, I informed the credit card company and they sent me an affidavit. I filled it out and sent it back. A month later I received a letter from Target saying my claim was denied and because I did n't provide them with a police report ( they never shared I had to ) and when I asked why noone called or communicated that I needed to get one, they stated they do n't have to tell me that. They are now sending threating letters to report it to my credit and everytime I call to speak to XXXX ( the claim specialist ) she refuses my call and " supervisors do n't speak to consumers on disputes ''. I need someone to step in because this is unfair treatment of a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with a supervisor/manager in charge by the name of XXXX at TD Bank today, XX/XX/XXXX, in regard to a debit card dispute previously filed in the amount of XXXX from XXXX of XXXX. I was told the dispute was closed out, TD Bank required additional information such as storage contract and receipt showing amount paid. This dispute is over fees charged for storage of my vehicle at dealership.. As I explained to XXXX, there is no storage contact as one was never signed or provided and I was not given a copy of receipt despite requests via email for one. I further explained that receipt, if one is provided, will show XXXX as paid and charged to my card. The reason for dispute is the fee ( s ) charged are questionable because they charged me XXXX per day for 45 days for storage of vehicle when I did not agree to the term or amount per day. Also, an item was also stolen out of my vehicle while in their storage, which I was not reimbursed for. I do not believe I should pay full amount, XXXX, when I did not sign any contract and had an item stolen from my car while it was in their possession. The item, a USB phone charger, was left in car until I could pick it up..It was not in car when I took delivery.. It has not been found, deemed stolen. I had to repurchase it, costing me XXXX I had to pay this amount,XXXX, in order to pick up vehicle from their lot, they were going to charge additional fees if not picked up. They were holding my vehicle pending registration, it could not be registered due to past due property taxes which had to be paid, this prevented registration. The Connecticut DMV, Attorney General 's Office, BBB ( Better Business Bureau ) are looking into this charge as complaints have been filed with them against merchant. I have not heard back from any of the agencies named as of yet. XXXX agreed to refile dispute with information provided, he was informed there is no storage contract and no receipt was provided. Please advise TD Bank this is all the information I have pertaining to this dispute, please try to recover funds from merchant.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX things are happening at TD Bank : First, they offer overdraft protection on checking accounts. They deliberately process transactions in an order that results in the highest fee. For example, if there is {$30.00} in a checking account, and a transaction for {$20.00} and XXXX for {$35.00} is put through. Regardless of which gets there first, they process the higher amount first and then the lower amount, creating XXXX overdraft fees. Also, they do not post overdraft fees at the time it occurs, but rather post it days later. So your online balance shows positive, but days later several overdraft fees are posted! And what you saw as a positive balance, really was not. I used the overdraft but have never had so many problems keeping my balance on the positive side!! And it 's the excessive number of overdraft fees that are being applied after the fact that is making it impossible. It took me a year to figure out why I was having so many struggles with my checking account. I am looking for a new bank. I realize that what they are doing may not be illegal, but it certainly is unethical. It is usury in disguise!

Complaint narrative:
TD bank branch representatives incorrectly characterized my IRA accounts as being funded with " rollovers '' instead of " direct rollover/direct transfer ''. In effect a XXXX was sent as a distribution and I suffered adverse tax consequences. In addition, XXXX XXXX (? ) the representative in the XXXX XXXX branch of XXXX, NJ did my paperwork incorrectly. I observed that she wrote my social security number on paperwork and left it in an unlocked desk drawer. XXXX XXXX took XXXX-120 minutes to complete the deposits, which she then called hours later to indicate were incomplete. Her message states that she needed additional signatures from me. I was not given a receipt, and she did not assist in correcting the character of the IRA funding source. My funding checks were left at the branch and I have no receipts or funds deposited although there is a 60 day limit to complete these transactions. When I called the branch this morning in response to her message requesting signatures, I spoke w/ her colleague XXXX who said she would look into the matter and return my call. Over two hours later, XXXX called me back and was verbally aggressive right off the bat demanding I come in to sign forms. She said she could not securely email forms to me, then she got angry when I asked to speak w/ the manager. She lied and said there was no manager on duty. When I asked for his name she told me XXXX XXXX then she was belligerent and asked me, " Yo, what 's your problem? '' I was astonished at this reaction, since I had not raised my voice or spoken tersely with XXXX. I asked her to put a manager on the phone and she hung up on me. XXXX failed to correctly explain the differences in rollover types, I believe she completed my applications incorrectly. In addition, my personal information was unsecure and I believe mishandled as she had various printouts and multiple branch employees assist with retrieving them from the printer. Finally, I was mishandled from a customer service aspect and I do n't want to do business with TD bank in effect. I am extremely concerned about the damages I suffered from my accounts being misapplied and am considering seeking recourse.
