Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Ameritech Financial
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX I recieved a call from Ameritech Financial, with regards to help pay for my student loans. I agreeded to have them handle the transfer of my loans from XXXX. They took XXXX dollars a month from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This is when I got word that the CEO had been arrested for fraud. I immediately contacted fedloan, and instead of lowering my loans they have risen. In short I just want my XXXX back.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am a single mother trying to purchase stable housing for my daughter and I, I found the perfect home and am in the process of closing however an old Best Buy credit card issued by citi bank showed on my credit report, so I reached out to the charge off department to pay the debt and get a payoff letter expedited so I can make closing, the representative informed me that it will take 25 days to get your letter and thats policy! Wow,! So I asked if there can be something a supervisor can do to help get this resolved so I do not loose my home and they said Im sorry but thats not our problem, so when I finally got to a supervisor they informed me that I am not sure what you expect me to do but its not our fault you have no where to go but its sytem generated and we cant do anything for you. So as large of a cooperation that Citi Bank is, there is no one that can help me. And for the supervisor to tell me its not our fault and there is no one that can help you get this taken care is disturbing. I have never been treated with such disregard and spoken to so rudely.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TH Professional & Medical Collections LTD
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay {$79.00} debt. Then they tried to say I had over {$2500.00} in debt. I asked them to prove my debt by telling me what it is and mail it to me. Then they said they forgave my debt, removed it and only charged me {$79.00}. This XXXX said my debt has been erased and they gave me back all of the {$250.00}. Well, I called my bank and they said they took all XXXX! I asked XXXX again from this so called debt agency to mail me a copy of all my debt I owed. She asked why did I need it, if they dropped all of it? She put me on hold and never came back. I recorded the WHOLE. Conversations! I let her know that, she started freaking out my doctors office, XXXX, the radiologist that this bill Supposedly came from, they said is not real. They said I do not owe any money because of the fact I have Medicaid and they dont charge anything. The radiologist want to see copies of what I/ supposedly came from, they said it is not real. They said I do not owe any money because of the fact I have Medicaid and they dont charge anything. The radiologist went to see copies of what I owe. I told her this. She would not comply. I have proof they put a false {$79.00} charge on my credit! They tried to get me to call this fake number - XXXX, this is NOT XXXX XXXX   XXXX  XXXX its a XXXX number. I called the real number and they saw I am a patient, but I owe NOTHING! They said I need to report this fraud! Why offer to drop my debt and give my money back, if I really owed money?!? They put this on my credit report, making it drop over 45 points on purpose. By making it XXXX hoping I would pay it, but can not provide my bill because there is no bill. This needs to be taken on my credit report. Its a scam! 
This happened today. They put it on my credit report XX/XX/2019. Saying its from 4years 10 months ago. ( Not possible to have XXXX in charges, Illinois Medicaid does not charge a deductible ) XXXX said they gave back the money, but XXXX said the stole it. 
I have her recorded on video, it shows her number, me calling and her saying shes taking this debt off my credit report and giving the XXXX all back. I can play it to anyone that wants to hear it.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I have attached a copy of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau order of XX/XX/2015 pertaining to the collection process on medical debts. This federal agency has levied millions in penalties against several medical collection agencies for abusive collection practices since the XX/XX/2015 mandate that consumers must be granted 180 days-notice that any or all medical debts can not be posted against a consumers credit report. What this entails is that I as an American consumer needs time to either settle a medical collection before said collection gets posted on my credit report, or that my medical insurance carrier had enough time to resolve the collection either in full or by any sustained factoring agreement in place with the medical servicer, be it a physician, clinic, ambulance service or hospital. That has not been the case in the attached medical collection ( s  ) posted on XXXX, Equifax and XXXX XXXX respectfully. Since the XX/XX/2015 agreement between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and all three credit reporting agencies, medical collection agencies have violated this agreement in its entirety. Having established that there is a specified procedure in place on medical collection postings on a consumers credit, it is a fact that most if not all medical collectors are in violation of their subscriber agreement with the major credit reporting agencies. Since my rights have already been violated by the collection agency stated in this complaint, the collection should be VOID completely. I am not disputing any factual conclusion if I was even given medical attention, just stating that my personal credit history has been damaged by an unlawful collection practice. I should be entitled to damages for the overall cost involved with what would otherwise be a perfect credit history. Accordingly, I respectfully request for the disputed medical collection ( s )  to be deleted permanently, and if this particular collection agencies needs a remedy for collection, it has abused the credit reporting system by violating my rights. In my opinion the only recourse at this time would be moving forward through other collection processes outside of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The disputed collection must be deleted permanently, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau must sanction and fine the agency for its abusive actions. The credit reporting agencies should also terminate the subscriber agreement if place. My dispute is based on material facts and current policies on medical collections. The attached disputed collection ( s ) should be deleted permanently without any right to reinsert from this point forward.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This is regarding my HSBC credit card account. When I checked my account on HSBCs website, I found online that several charges were on the account. I have not used the new card at all due to the previous issues. Further, per the balance transfer agreement and previous correspondence, attached, there should be no finance charges for the first 15 months. Also, there is a cash advance fee but no cash advance showing. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted HSBC via chat and also on XX/XX/XXXX but so far, there has been no resolution. Please reverse the charges for XX/XX/XXXX forward. Thank you.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This particular credit card company has an XXXX XXXX  cut off time for paying bills online. If you miss that time they charge you a {$25.00} late fee. Honestly I have missed this before, but I call the next day and they adjust it off. This time I was online getting ready to pay on XX/XX/2019 and it was a few minutes before XXXX XXXX. My internet went out and by the time I was back online it was a couple minutes after XXXX XXXX  XXXX to be exact. I clearly remember this because I thought there is no way they are going to charge me for being 2 minutes late. Wrong! I received my online statement today XX/XX/2019 and they did charge me {$25.00} late charge. 
I called today XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX and they will not adjust it off, they said I have no wavers? I am guessing you are only allowed one waver every so many months that is why I have not had problems in past. I asked to speak to supervisor and she basically told me the same thing even if one minute late they will charge you. I asked to dispute this charge and she said they dont do that, you cant dispute late charge. I asked to speak to someone else and was told there was no one else I could talk with there was no one above her. I said you must have a boss and she advised they only do administrative work, frustrated I said thanks and hung up After hanging up the more I thought about this I do not have this problem with anyone other company I pay. I believe this might be this companys way to get people to pay more money on late fees with the XXXX XXXX cutoff time. 
I receive an email, but a lot of times I dont even get to my personal email until XXXX or XXXX XXXX. This is exactly why I have had to ask for help in the past, because I open email after the cut off time. Not only the time but the date its the XXXX due date, all of my other bills are due at end of month. 
I believe they are taking advantage of me and I am sure other customers by having this special due date and time. Then when calling and asking for help all the sudden they dont want to help. I have been working very hard to clean up my credit history for the past year, and I just recently jumped up by thirty points, this late charge is going to affect my credit history that I have been working so hard to improve. I would like this late note removed from my account and a refund. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration if I can provide further information please let me know Best regard

Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: TCF NATIONAL BANK
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
TCF bank has used an unending practice of hitting my checking account with multiple fees. It has been going on for months. Last fall, I went to the bank and asked for assistance with my account and how to solve the problem with all of the OD fees.

OD protection was not an option they would entertain. A personal loan for a bridge was not approved or even encouraged. Instead, the representative pushed me to apply for a credit card. I didn't do the application. It seemed odd that he kept pushing for a credit card and didn't jump on the opportunity to really assist a customer with budgeting and/or problem solving. 

Over the past several months, nearly all of each paycheck has been eaten up with, fees. Leaving very little for basic necessities and bills. It has pushed my issues with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to be a debilitating aspect of my life.

Chase Mortgage Financial is claiming I didn't pay the mortgage on specific months though I have confirmation I did then refused my mortgage payments for 3 straight months forcing me to get assistance from the HUD HOPE program where I made 4 consecutive payments during which Chase decided to hire a debt collector and had a summons served for a ridiculous amount of money that I simply do not owe. Due to Chase 's negligence in properly managing this mortgage, it has turned into a complete nightmare. It should be noted, Chase and the debt collector ( who is a law firm ), refused to honor a cease and desist order via the HOPE program.
