Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by XXXX that someone used my identity to open a checking account at Compass Bank. I called XXXX, they directed me to call their parent bank, named Simple, at XXXX. I called Simple to let them know my identity was stolen, and they refused to tell me anything about the account. 
They refused to close the account, though I called multiple times and explained that it was a fraudulent account. I then did a XXXX call with XXXX and XXXX Bank in which the XXXX rep explained the confirmed ID theft. Simple rep said she would then close the account, but refused to send me anything in writing. I called Simple again on XX/XX/XXXX and again asked for a letter to confirm the fraudulent account was closed, the rep refused. She said the account was " no longer eligible for phone support '', that she had " to disconnect the call '', and I was not to call there XXXX asked to speak with a supervisor, was transferred to XXXX. He also refused to send a letter, said it was not their problem that someone opened an account there with my stolen identity, and their policy was to not provide any info or send anything in writing, not even to confirm they closed the account. I asked where they are actually located, he refused to tell me. He said they are an online bank, but said their physical location and the state in which they are registered to do business was " not pertinent '' to the conversation. I asked for a mailing address, he said he would not give it to me. I asked for anything to confirm they even closed the account, he said " this account is no longer eligible for phone support '' and that he had to " disconnect the call ''. Would not even confirm it was closed. He refused to give me an account number or any info at all about the account that I could have to document the fraud. I have no way of knowing if they even closed the account, and am very concerned that it is still open in my name.

Complaint narrative:
An apartment management representative with a personal vendetta claimed that I caused damage to an adjacent apartment. She notified me in writing four days before I was scheduled to move-out. In the letter, she claims that because of a water leak and my negligence I am responsible for {$7.00}, XXXX of damages to the apartment bellow. 30 days later, the firm submitted my erroneous and unsubstantiated debt to a collections agency. The collections agency then quickly furnished this damaging information to the major credit reporting agencies. I requested the collections agency to substantiate the debt, and they mailed me copies of the following documents : the aforementioned letter, a hardware purchase order invoice of {$3200.00}, my apartment 's " move-out inspection '' checklist completed and signed by the firm 's maintenance man and me ( illustrating our agreement of the damage-free condition of my apartment ), the lease agreement, and a " security deposit accounting '' document which shows the amount due to owner as {$7.00}, XXXX, yet all of the credits do not add up to that figure. It 's as if the firm simply invented a number and the collections agency blindly accepted it when the numbers do not add up to my reported debt amount. Unacceptable and unfair.

I received a message of a charge to my debit card of {$550.00} to a hotel in a place Ive never been and called the hotel, then my financial institution to dispute this. I receive these messages for every purchase I make. Since I 've made several in 4 days, I was n't too concerned with opening the statements. However, as I reviewed my statement, there were several notable charges to my card that had enevitably wiped my entite account balance out out. I subsequently made a report with the hotel chain and called my local law enforcement filing yet another report. The following day, as I had to work all night, I provided law enforcement with copies of my account statement. I inquired to the financial institution on the status of this investigation and the following day several more times. I called every merchant yo inform them the transactions were not authorized. Some I received confirmation on, one attempted and others just reluctant to help at all. My financial instituion wo n't tell me when or if I will ever see my money back. I have called several times to the point they messaged me and said if I called anymore about that issyecIbwould be blocked from calling and only left to message. I 'm out money, plans, bills being paid, gas, food and no one seems to care. No one can provide any information and even when I ask if this account is Federally insured, I get the dispute team is working on it and when they have an answer they 'll send a message! No time line no nothing and then told to quit asking! I have read reviews on this finisvisk institution and have to say there seems to be some questionable dealings going on with what they do to their customers. This, in itself, should be investigated.

They have not provided a single document with my signature saying that I agree to pay such debt. They have only provided printed out receipts with my name. I have clearly stated that I wanted to Validation and not a verification. They have only sent me a print out of a receipt. How does this validate a debt? I also filed a XXXX complaint against this company and their XXXX Response was : " Unique Management Services ( UMS ) is in receipt of the complaint by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) where she believes that UMS is required to provide with validation of debt according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Complaint narrative:
I submitted my XXXX XXXX mortgage payment via Carrington Mortgages automated payment system on XXXX/XXXX/2016 for XXXX/XXXX/2016 which was a Sunday. This was done electronically so I assumed it would post but I knew it wouldnt process until the next day. The automated system stated that payments on weekends and holidays would PROCESS the next business day. It did n't say post the next business day. So Carrington posted my payment for XXXX XXXX although even the documentation they sent me states XXXX XXXX. This caused me to receive a 30 day late on my credit. I disputed this with their research department who refused to correct the 30 day late. I feel this is unfair credit reporting and wish to have it rectified.

The day after the purchase the title would be transferred to the new owner unfortunately the car was involved in an accident and the car was a total loss. I spoke with the insurance company and provided a bill of sale and that was the last i heard anything regarding this accident. It has been over 2 years since this incident. on XXXX/XXXX/16 I received a letter from a Vengroff Williams , INC stating that my husband owed a claim of {$2200.00}. I called the company and spoke with XXXX XXXX. I explained the situation regarding the sale of the car. She provided me the name of the person who bought the car. I looked up this company by their phone number and was amazed at the negative comments that were posted about this company. I called the company again this morning and asked if they could send me any and all documentation regarding this claim so that I might want to have a lawyer look it and the lady i spoke with became very rude and told me that she was not sending me anything. I believe this is scam. I am not understanding why after 2 years this has become an issue and this company is wanting us to pay claim that we knew nothing about.
