State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Resurgent ID : XXXX Resurgent ID : XXXX Resurgent ID : XXXX Resurgent, also known as LVNV Funding LLC has reported unverified debt amounts in my name to each of the three credit reporting agencies, preventing me from renting a place to live, yet has not provided the debt verification I need. They only sent a significant number of letters stating that my claim is not valid, in response to my request for details of how the charges were arrived at, and the last statement of total amounts due, stating that is all they legally had to provide me. I dont owe these inflated amounts of money. I finally resorted to mailing them a request for debt settlement request for each of the above accounts. I was ignored as always. I only offered settlements because I saw it as my only way out to get these off my credit report and out of my life. Now, I understand this is extortion, and I should not pay them anything until they tell me the details of this debt. I have included copies of my initial disputes in an effort to gather the necessary information. I will add a folder of their communication to me when I get home today ( XX/XX/2023 ) If I am allowed to do that. This is urgent as they now threaten to sue me even though they wont let me see my records. In each case, I filed my dispute within the allowed time frame.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX account with XXXX XXXX that was linked to my Santander Bank account. I deposited a check given to me by a client in to this checking account, the check was bounced and as a result Santander put the account '' on Hold '' for 5 days. When it did it they never advised me of this-I did get a letter 5 days later advising me of this ; the same day the hold was lifted. In the meantime, not being aware that the account was on hold, I went in to XXXX XXXX, like I do every day, to buy coffee and a paper for {$5.00} for two days. These charges were approved in the store but subsequently rejected by the bank. When that happened, XXXX XXXX sent the two charges to a collection agency who in turn sent me two collection notices for {$40.00} each ( {$35.00} fee and the {$5.00} ). I tried to get the fees waived by the collection agency ( XXXX, XXXX, KY ) but they flat out rejected my effort. I then called Santander and was told that since they did not assess the 2 {$35.00} fees they would not refund them even though I pointed out that had they notified me when the account went on hold I never would made the two {$5.00} charges. When I appealed to a " Supervisor '' he also flat out rejected my request. While I am filing a complaint against Santander I do not think the collection agency or XXXX XXXX were exacttly consumer friendly.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been attempting to withdraw {$31000.00} from my apple savings account by Goldman Sachs since XX/XX/XXXX. The transaction has been in a pending withdrawal status for over one week. The banks website states that withdrawal request will be processed within 1 to 3 business days. When I have contacted customer service, they have communicated a five business day timeline. After several calls to customer service in which I was told to wait, a representative informed me on XX/XX/XXXX that my account was flagged and that a hold had been placed on my withdrawal because I had deposited additional funds in the accojnt from a different bank account than my original deposit. I was not notified of this hold. I was told that the flag was cleared and I could expect my funds within two business days, which still has not occurred. When I contacted customer service again on XX/XX/XXXX, because my funds have still not been transferred I was told there is no hold on the account and that I should see the funds transfer within five business days again. When I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. I was told I could only receive a call back and that they couldnt guarantee that I would receive a call back within 48 hours because call volumes were high. This bank has prevented access to my funds for going on 10 calendar days now and has given me no assurances as to when I can expect to receive access to my funds.
