Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I submitted a bill payment for {$990.00} to a merchant through the reloadit safe ( www.reloadit.com ). When setting up the payee information, I entered the wrong account information. When the payee received the payment they could not match the account number and returned the payment to Reloadit ( through Reloadit 's vendor XXXX ). I have been trying to work with Reloadit and their parent Blackhawk networks since that time to get a refund. On XXXX XXXX I was told that the case had been resolved and they would mail me a refund check in 30 business days. After several follow up calls, on XXXX/XXXX/16 Blackhawk said they would resubmit a ticket and it could take 30 business days to resolve.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I got a call from someone named as XXXX calling from XXXX Loyalty Department and said there is a promotion going on n based on that your bill will be reduced to 50 % monthly but you need to make the advance payment for 1 year which would be {$420.00} ( {$35.00} per month x 12 months ) and you need to buy a ReloadIT prepaid card using cash. It will be a scratch card and once you buy scratch and give me the number and I will load money into your account. Few of my friends have already did so, I did the same and money started reflecting in my XXXX account as + {$420.00}. But when my new bill got generated it was for same {$70.00} with {$20.00} return payment charges. When I try to investigate n chat with XXXX they said we have refunded the payment to your bank account but I said I never provided any bank account details so, provide me the details to which bank you have refunded they said they did n't have that detail. When I called ReloadIT company n asked to provide me my prepaid card transaction history they said your money did n't went to comcast, it went somewhere else but we can not provide these details to you, we can only give it to concerned authority person like police officer or a lawyer. So, now I do n't have any track to my money where its gone. I am trying to reach to that number but call to not going through. Its looking like a somone internally involved from XXXX who did this scam that he has access to my account to do the transaction. I do have a mail from him but I ca n't reply to that email ID as well.

Complaint narrative:
I filed several times before complaints against " XXXX '', " XXXX '', " XXXX '', " ChexSystems '', because ; 1 ) They refused to send me my " Free Annual Credit Report '' claiming that they ca n't match my personal info, but at the next page of their website they offer me my Credit report for a Fee {$7.00} ; 2 ) They refused to investigate Frivolous items in my Credit Report. Obviously CFPB did n't took any action against them so " XXXX '', " XXXX '', " XXXX '' decided to take a Revenge against me by Re-age on XXXX a XXXX deleted Frivolous item, XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX amount {$9700.00} which reduced my SCORE by XXXX points. Also " ChexSystems '' because they refused to investigate and delete XXXX Frivolous Bank claims ; a ) XXXX XXXX account # XXXX i closed it on XXXX, b ) XXXX account # XXXX i closed it on XXXX, both had XXXX balance at the time of closing them. As a result i ca n't open a new checking account with any Bank. My question to CFPB is why Proven Fraudulent Companies like them are allowed to Terrorize and creating problems to consumers in many different ways with Immunity ; Is it because they are allowed to do business by Bribing Politicians or because Corporations are Governing America???

Complaint narrative:
We contracted with an auto transportation company to transport our vehicle from XXXX to XXXX. A contract was signed under false pretenses. The misrepresentation from the transport company resulted in us being charged {$740.00} by our credit card company. The transport company never transported our vehicle. We attempted to resolve this issue with Barclaycard, but they were unwilling to refund the amount. However I digress. XXXX XXXX XXXX lied to us, so we canceled the contract. The contract had a " non-refundable '' clause. This is what Barclaycard is using to withhold our refund. The contract was executed in XXXX. XXXX Statue section 817 Fraudulent misrepresentation stipulates : Under contract law, a plaintiff can recover against a defendant on the grounds of fraudulent misrepresentation if ( 1 ) a representation was made ; ( 2 ) that was false ; ( 3 ) that when made, the representation was known to be false or made recklessly without knowledge of its truth ; ( 4 ) that it was made with the intention that the plaintiff rely on it ; ( 5 ) that the plaintiff did rely on it ; and ( 6 ) that the plaintiff suffered damages as a result. 

The contract is null and void, however. Barclaycard is refusing to follow XXXX statues by allowing the merchant to bill for services they never provided. We chose to use another transportation company and contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to cancel our request, which they did, but still charged us the entire amount it would have cost to transport the vehicle. 

In closing, we were charged {$740.00} for a service that was never rendered and Barclaycard has refused to refund our money.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I was declared XXXX by XXXX. I did n't have income and I overdraft my checking account. In XXXX XXXX, I begun to work again and I wanted to pay and continue using my checking account but the bank closed it and told me I have a balance for {$1500.00} aprox. I told them I wanted to pay and asked if they could give me a discount, they agreed to discount % XXXX so I paid {$1200.00} aprox and they open another checking account. On XXXX XXXX, I open an account with a credit union offered as benefit from my employer and after gave the member number, online access and pay {$20.00}, they sent me XXXX line email asking for proof that I took care of that balance. I was n't sure what they were talking about, because I have no knowledge of any balance with my bank so I asked them to provide any information so I could verify it. The credit union wont provide the a copy of the information but when I told them I would need some info to find out what was happening they told me that it was reported to chexsystems in XXXX XXXX and with a {$1700.00} aprox balance and that the checking account was closed by them, with a mark of " abuse ''. I asked them what does it mean and they told me I overdraft the checking account. I told the credit union that that info was n't right, that it 's an error and asked them what they want me to do to demonstrate it. The lady, who is the credit union CEO, told me that no matter what I show to her she will not allow my account. Two days later I received a check for {$20.00} and no explanation of expulsion. I have been wrongfully expelled, I talked with the bank and they told me they will updated chexsystems between the last Saturday and the next XXXX and also they will provide a letter specifying I paid on XXXX in full and there is no balance. When I talked by phone with the credit union to apply for membership they treated me normally but when I arrived to the branch they changed completely and ignored me until they saw I stayed there waiting for them to attend me. Then they made all the process impossible, first to get the member number, then the online account, then the verification of the balance with the other bank. I even offered to show the statements so they could see I paid the balance but first the asked for a phone number on the bank, then a letter and when I told them I was expecting it in the next few days the CEO told me she did n't care and I left. I also consider they have discriminated against me because national origin and XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am quite sure that Synchrony Bank, which issues both the XXXX MasterCard and XXXX Visa, has been charging many or most of my XXXX purchases to both cards - in fact charging me double. They have probably been doing this to thousands of other people as well. I have used the XXXX Visa almost exclusively since XXXX, yet my XXXX MasterCard bill for XXXX is double what it was before. I first discovered this when I noticed I was not getting the promised 3 % cashback on XXXX Visa purchases. This was because all of them were listed by Synchrony Bank as " XXXX, '' although I do n't even have this card as a XXXX payment method : XXXX MasterCard is the only credit card I have listed on XXXXl as a payment method. ( It would not even be possible for me to make a XXXX payment from XXXX Visa, yet all my XXXX Visa payments are listed as " XXXX ''! ) Now I find that they have been charged to XXXX MasterCard, through XXXX and also to the XXXX credit card that I used directly. My XXXX MasterCard bill currently is over {$480.00} although I have scarcely been using this card since XXXX, and double billing is the only possible explanation. I am saving the complete lists from both cards, and find they are almost but not quite the same - often a few cents difference, to the same recipient on the same day. This may be a way of disguising it. But I have no doubt that this is what they are doing.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had a verbal agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX in which they promise me that my supposed balance would be reduced from {$930.00} to {$760.00} if I start with my payments. It happened about XXXX weeks ago. They also told me that after my XXXX payment, I would receive a notification with the new balance. In addition, during those conversations I told them that I would n't give any information about my bank account because I do n't know who they are, so I made my XXXX payment on XXXX XXXX, 2015 using their website in which I opened an account. 
After that point, I never receive the new statement, and I could n't access to my online account, but even worse is that they are saying today that there is n't any settlement, and they are forcing me to pay the whole amount of money again after I started with my XXXX payment which was of {$200.00}. 
If it is a serious company, there should be all of our conversations recorded, and there would be easy to identify who is saying the truth, and who is dishonest. 
To sum up, my initial balance with the original lender was about {$600.00}. Then, after I could n't pay it for a few months, it skyrocket to {$930.00}. Afterward, I agreed to start my payment if the account would be reduced a little bit, and it was reduced to {$760.00}, and later, I paid {$200.00}, so today the balance should be {$560.00}. However, they did not keep their word, and the balance is {$730.00}.
