I have begun to receive harassing phone calls from Credex Debt Recovery at work and at my cell phone. They are attempting to collect for an online loan with XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vehicle on XXXX from a XXXX dealership called XXXX XXXX. The vehicle 's original posting stated the car was in perfect condition and was recently fully service by a OFFICIAL XXXX service dealership/shop named XXXX XXXX also in Florida. The vehicle was purchased on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and the vehicle didnt arrive at my home in XXXX until XXXX/XXXX/2016. I drove the vehicle approximately XXXX miles, ( the original odometer and current readings can prove it ) as I needed it to go on XXXX leave and the car started leaking FUEL on the freeway and I was forced to stop immediately around the XXXX area. I had the car towed to the nearest XXXX service shop near my wife 's area called XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. They charged me {$160.00} just to run a diagnostics to see what was wrong, and during this process, they explained to me that the fuel intake manifold was put on too tight causing it to fall off and leak the fuel ; which was later admitted by vista XXXX that they had messed this up during the initial servicing before it was shipped to me, which apparently made XXXX XXXX give XXXX permission to dismantle the vehicle without my consent, but no repairs have been done, the vehicle is still just sitting there with the work halfway done to it because no one wants to own up and assume responsibility for the repairs to be made. I dont understand why the vehicle was even taken apart for repair if no consent was given nor proof of financial assurance for the repairs were shown or given. Also, XXXX explained to me that the vehicle has aftermarket engine parts, which was not stated in the original listing whatsoever. The vehicle is currently at the XXXX XXXX location still, which as of today ( XXXX/XXXX/2016 ) is racking up a {$50.00} a day sitting fee, until this gets resolved. I had taken out a consumer loan with usaa to pay for the vehicle PLUS another {$1000.00} for the shipping equaling a total of {$13000.00}.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I applied over the phone for a credit card that was advertised on USAA website as a 1.5 % cash rewards credit card. I think it was a new product at that time, so when I called to apply the lady had trouble finding the specific XXXX I wanted, but after a few minutes on hold she came back and said that she had found the 1.5 % cash back World MasterCard that I wanted to apply for. We went through the application process over the phone and at XXXX other times throughout the conversation I verified that this was the 1.5 % cash rewards card. I was put on hold again XXXX of these times and the worker came back to the phone and said yes, this is the 1.5 % cash rewards program card. After a few days I got the card in the mail and it was just the plain USAA World MasterCard, not the 1.5 % cash rewards card. I already had a 1 % rewards card from them. So after several unsuccessful phone calls to their executive resolution people, I sent a consumer dispute form to them detailing that I wanted the card removed from my credit history and deleted, not cancelled. ( I was told over the phone multiple times that the only thing I could do was cancel the card, but I will not do this because it lowers your credit score from my understanding to have an account opened then closed within a month period. ) They contacted me and said they could not do what I wanted by removing the inquiry from my credit history because I did authorize application and that I would have to cancel the card and re-apply. I authorized application to the 1.5 % and not the card they gave me, so I believe it is their responsibility to remove the application from my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX 2015, I filed a FTC complaint regarding multiple collection phone calls for an account that I did not open. The investigation was complete ; it was verified that I did have an account with XXXX and did not owe them any money. Today, I received a call from a collection agency regarding a XXXX account. Today, I contacted XXXX and they did verify that an account was opened in my name in XXXX 2015 and it has been placed into collections. My issue is that customer service has repeatedly provided me with the incorrect information, and was withholding information that I requested and facilitated account fraud. I believe that this issue could have been resolved months ago.

The card was shut down and a new card issued for this account. Ever since that card has been shut down I am showing XXXX separate accounts in my credit reports. XXXX my current and authorized account and XXXX an the unauthorized and fraudulent account that is being actively updated in my credit report monthly BY USAA. When I asked USAA they say that they do not see the unauthorized account in their systems, they can not pull up historical info on the account that had the unauthorized activity, and they do n't seem to think it is a problem to have XXXX separate account being reported as active when there is only XXXX account. All I want is to remove and stop reporting the stolen account as my active account to the credit bureau.

Complaint narrative:
My parents entered into an arrangement with XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay off credit cards used to pay for my mother 's medical expenses. My mother passed away in XXXX 2015. In helping my father determine the agreement with XXXX, including the contract length, the payment arrangement, and the status of the debts associated with the contract, it has come to my attention that this company operates in a deceptive manner. The company takes the obligors monthly payment, does not contact the creditor until XXXX believes they can make some sort of settlement with the creditor. During that time, the representative told me they are well aware that the obligor 's creditors continue to charge late charge fees, increased interest rates, etc. Even though my father had notified them of my mother 's passing, XXXX failed to contact any of the creditor 's to determine if the accounts were in my Mom 's name or Father 's name. My father had enough money in his XXXX Account to settle the debt, but until I called they had not contacted the XXXX remaining creditors.

USAA has charged a significant amount of over drafts and returned item fees without providing any clear disclosure of how and why they are charged. 

USAA cut off access to USAA.com via a computer which is the only way to access accounts unless you use a mobile phone or go to a branch. There are no USAA branches in my area. 

I feel that this is unfair treatment.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I contacted USAA Bank to discuss the interest rate on my Master Card. My hope was that they would consider lowering the rate to help a customer pay down their balance. First, I understand this is their choice and had they said no because it was company regulations I would have been unhappy but accepted it. What they claim is that government regulations do not allow them to lower the rate. They said specifically that XXXX XXXX in the credit card act of 2009 does not allow. I read through that and it never mentioned lowering rates, only increasing them. 

In summary, my complaint is that they are misusing government regulations.

Complaint narrative:
I lost my business due to the economy & had to move to find work. The apartment I moved into did not allow satellite dishes to be mounted on the building or property. I paid XXXX in full every month for over XXXX years ( including additional expensive sports packages ). Contacted XXXX before I moved to terminate service, paid account in full and returned all equipment they required. 

Now they have sent my account to collections to try to force me to pay {$520.00} for early termination. 

The FTC currently has a lawsuit against XXXX for illegally charging customers $ XXXX.+ for early termination citing it as illegal. 

West Virginia law states that if the account is more than XXXX years old ( my account is over XXXX years old / active for XXXX ) they can not sue me or report debt to any credit agency. 

I do not believe I owe XXXX any money.

Transunuon did not do their job properly. When they investigated XXXX and nothing changes I asked them for the numbers addresses and names they spoke to. And by law they are suppose to give that to me and they did n't. I explain to this company the situation of what happened and also sent a copy of lease and docs to prove my case but they still disregard it plus the reps were very disrespectful and barely helped. Along side the company moved the dates on when it was reported and that 's illegal. Transunuon needs to stop scaming through and do something about it.

Complaint narrative:
First off, this is a {$250.00} bill, debt from XXXX, which i 've lost work & could not pay for EVEN that. This collection agency has called " Almost '' every morning right at XXXX, waking my XXXX & XXXX old grandparents. 

Furthermore, i 've spoken with their agents explaining i lost my job ; should be back working w/in 2-3 months, and for them to call back - or i rather prefer to call you back, i will be able to pay on debt then. 

Collection agency is based in Florida, but caller id says " XXXX XXXX, MI, '' this Collection agency is CIRCULATING a New phone # every call now, which seems purposeful harassment, to purposely change their caller ID # or buys multiple 'spoof ' phone lines to, well you can figure it out. 

I 'd made it clear, and was very cordial, straight forward, and doing best to resolve this issue ; at least 4 times I 've explained to them. 

The lady also stated to me " does n't your grandpa or mother have the money for a payment? '' which they HONESTLY do not, barely making ends meet ; not to mention i thought was pretty TERRIBLE of her to suggest!

I purchased a vehicle cautiously with the assistance of my co borrower and made it known to the dealer that I was not 100 % sold on the vehicle. I was advised that I could return the vehicle within 30 days for something else if I was not happy with my purchase. I was not happy with the vehicle and returned it to the dealer and received a return receipt. After a couple of months I receive correspondence from the finance company about unpaid debt. I received a further call from the finance companies detective who clarified that the car was indeed in the possession of the dealer who was unaware of its return. I made this known to the collection agent who was servicing the account and forwarded the necessary documents and letter or explanation but the issue was never amended. The debt has been sold to another collections agent who is now harassing me for a debt that does not exist.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Someone unbeknownst to me submitted an application for a Capital One card. Evidently it was sent out, although it was not received by me, and someone used it. I reported the fraud as soon as I received information that the card was issued and in use and told them to cancel the card immediately. Unfortunately they did not, claiming that someone called afterwards claiming to be me and they kept the card open, permitting someone to charge an additional {$700.00}, and after a XXXX call, the card was closed. However, Capital One decided that I am responsible even though I repeatedly told them that I did not request, receive or use the card. Calls were not returned, dunning calls are constant, and they keep sending statements. I contacted an attorney who sent a letter, and they completely ignored it, admitting that they have no application proving I requested the card, yet keep insisting that I pay the balance that keeps increasing each month. I have placed a complaint with the FTC as well, but they said that they do n't do anything for me. My phone number has been spoofed and seems to be used for robocalls as well as trying to get credit cards ( Capital One states that they know that the calls came from our home phone even though they ca n't send me proof, and even if they had it what would it prove since I have put in complaints to XXXX? ). XXXX had called prior to Capital One asking if I had requested a card or was it fraud - not sure why, but I told them that I did not ask for nor did I want a XXXX XXXX, and none was issued. Please understand that I have XXXX and ask my wife to take care of all matters pertaining to this. I do not go shopping and can no longer XXXX. I have enough health issues without this being added on top of everything else.
