I lived with my grandfather for a short period of time and he would have drug users come in and out of the home we shared. This is not my credit card and I never had a credit card with them. I used a mailbox for 2 years during the time they said this was opened.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I started to close my Regions credit and checking accounts in XX/XX/2022. I had several issues with Regions bank ( not documented here ) pertaining to inability to transfer outside bank funds on an Autopay schedule for credit card payments ; I was told by an initial phone representative that this was not possible, and was moving to California and needed to close my checking, primary savings, and credit card accounts seeing as I would no longer be able to easily deposit or move funds to keep these accounts active. To the best of my recollection, I contacted them approximately six times to try to accomplish these : 1 ) Attempted on the phone and was told that I needed to visit a branch to close the checking account. Created a request to close the credit card account and was told it would be processed or I would be contacted 2 ) Visited a branch, where it was confirmed that my initial concerns about Regions bank and its credit card partner were confirmed by the bank manager and I received my funds. 
3 ) Attempted to close credit card with Regions Greenline customer service, as I received another bill 4 ) Attempted to close credit card with Regions Greenline, as I received another bill. Recurring charges accumulated on the card. As I had closed the account, I expected these types of bills to come due from the merchants ( much as if I had canceled a credit card if it was lost or stolen and the number became inactive ), not for Regions to continue operating an account I had asked them to close several times and had been assured would be processed on these phone calls. 
5 and 6 ) Contacted by Regions customer service twice to attempt to collect fees and charges that had accrued due to their incompetence in closing my account. 

In summary Regions bank Customer Service and its local employees in XXXX XXXX, FL made multiple misstatements, false claims, and attempts to collect a debt which it generated under my name due to its own incompetence deserves thorough investigation so that future consumers are not impacted by its problems. I am sad to see Regions bank struggling with these issues as I was a loyal customer for many years and it was my first bank. I simply wanted to amicably close my accounts and am so disappointed to see how poorly this entire process was conducted. I hope the CFPB can review the calls and conversations where available to determine what went wrong.

Complaint narrative:
I had a savings account with XXXX. XXXX was purchased by Citizens Bank so my account was transferred over to Citizens. Instead of opening up another savings account Citizens Bank opened up a line of credit ( or personal loan ). I never had a line of credit nor ever requested one at XXXX nor any other bank. When I asked Citizens why they opened a line of credit in my name they told me because I had qualified for one under XXXX they opened up that type of account in their bank. I never used the line of credit at Citizens Bank, I called them and told them to close my account. The account was closed and then I received a letter from Citizens Bank stating that my balance was " paid off in full ''. 

I am afraid my credit score will be affected by this. This was not an isolated event. The same issue occurred to my sister as well. Can you please investigate as to why Citizens opened up a line of credit without my permission?

Company: BROKER SOLUTIONS, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Working with New American to purchase my first home put me at risk of both losing my desired home and {$17000.00} ( earnest money + gains on the stock I sold for closing costs in good faith this would be done XXXX + inspection ). 

Below is a recap of miscommunication and negligence to date by the company. Contacts I have worked with are XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX pre-approved me for a loan at 10 % down with a rate match of 5.85 % with manager approval XXXX. My formal mortgage application then kicked off XX/XX/22 and XXXX advised me she had all the documents needed to move forward with underwriting. My appraisal was completed XX/XX/22 and came in slightly above my offer- all good news. 

On XXXX ( Monday the week of closing ) I received an email from XXXX that my loan was at risk of denial but there was a solution where I would put 15 % down with 4.99 % interest rate. This was the first of 3 incorrect quotes for a path forward I would get from XXXX in 48 hours. I received a follow up email XXXX that I had 2 path forwards to avoid my loan being denied : 15 % with a higher rate than initially quoted or 20 % down. I decided I wanted to move forward with 20 % down to avoid paying upfront MI. 

On XXXX I was told the 20 % down path previously quoted as an option would be denied due to impact on my reserves. The only path forward that would be approved was 15 % down. I asked to speak with a manager however they did not call me before leaving on vacation/OOTO XXXX. 

Beginning The afternoon of XXXX I began working exclusively with XXXX because I could not trust any of the loan terms XXXX was quoting me. I raised concerns that XXXX XXXX the escrow agent and the seller agent were saying XXXX was unresponsive to all attempts to contact her for updates to XXXX for loan docs ahead of signing. 

I signed closing disclosure agreements for the path forward to complete my loan with 15 % down the evening of XXXX, keeping us on track to close XXXX sold stock and compiled the updated closing costs needed into my XXXX  account, sending the updated documentation to XXXX first thing in the morning XXXX. I was told it was all hands on deck to get my contract paperwork out by XXXX XXXX. I had to reach out at XXXX after no one heard any updates. 

I was then told XXXX - on my planned closing date - that there is not a path forward for New American to honor my signed closing disclosure terms. It is clear XXXX made numerous mistakes on my loan application - including not including my buyer rebate previously communicated to the title agency and across stakeholders. Not accurately quoting me terms impacted my ability as a buyer to shop my rate and lost my trust in the process. I attempted to resolve my issues directly with the company but after saying they would review my file I have not heard back in over 1 month.
