Complaint narrative:
A man named XXXX XXXX called my work and left a message on an administrative assistant 's voice mail. The voicemail was forwarded to my phone. When I returned the call, thinking it was work related, the lady on the other end refused to tell me what GC Services do or why XXXX was calling. When pressed she stated it was a financial services company. I asked what that means and listed off a number of financial services that she might be referring to. She declined to admit she was a bill collector. XXXX was the number left and GC Services was the company name. I have no way of knowing what may have been said to my employer but I plan to take legal action. I will not be calling XXXX back in 45 minutes as instructed and if he calls my work again, I will save the message this time. I will never be able to pay off any debt if greedy companies keep calling my employer and XXXX up my employment situation. My phone number is posted on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. etc, it is everywhere and totally available to anyone so calling my work is not only not necessary, it 's illegal.

Complaint narrative:
I received a communication via mail in XXXX XXXX. I called on the XXXX to respond and request debt validation that I am allowed. The bill was for a gas company. A {$400.00} gas bill seems to be completely insane! The residence claimed is a single family home, how could a gas bill get THAT high? There has to be a mistake I originally spoke to a XXXX who was excessively rude to me and when I requested that all communication be written, she told me that meant a cease and desist of all communication. I tried to correct her but she would not listen at all! I requested to speak to her manager but she transferred me to a voice mail. I called back and got a hold of a XXXX who also refused to find a manager for me to speak too. I called back again and got a hold of XXXX who pretended like she had never spoken to me. I finally got a hold of XXXX ( a presumed manager ) on my 4th time of calling in. He talked over me and had an attitude about me requesting that he be polite. He refused to send me debt validation and told me I had to write in. No other collection agency does this. If you call in, they all will send out the required validation as it is a recorded line and it can be proven you request it. I asked him about the type of validation and had no clue what I was referring too. It was clear he does n't know FTC law requiring what consumers are allowed to request. He also tried to force me to admit the debt as mine though again, I havent even received validation! I asked for him to pull the call with XXXX and he just hung up on me. He did n't say he would look into the matter but just hung up rudely. I never raised my voice, but he constantly talked over me as I tried to explain the issues.

I opened a credit card with Citibank in XX/XX/XXXX. I made my first payment of {$1000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( the date it left my account at XXXX ) via bank to bank transfer, from my account at XXXX to the credit card account. This is an electronic funds transfer -- instant cash to Citi. However, I learn today on XX/XX/XXXX that my payment was being held by Citi until XX/XX/XXXX! This is unacceptable. Citi has my money. I no longer have the money in my account at XXXX. That is 9 DAYS! In this day of EFT, overnight clearance of personal checks, etc. it is absolutely unacceptable for Citi to hold on to my money ( cash via EFT ) and this long before I get access to it. They in turn are using my money ( along with that of others ) in overnight lending to make money on my money. They should not be allowed to hold onto my money this long when it is a bank to bank transfer.
