Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I switched phone companies XXXX bought out my XXXX contract as part of the deal for switching to them. Then in XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed XXXX was still charging my bank account. I went through all my Bank statements and realized they had started charging me {$80.00} a month starting in XX/XX/XXXX without sending any sort of bill. 2 months after XXXX bought out my contract. I called XXXX Customer service to figure out what the issue was. The gentlemen on the phone told me that he could see that I had switched services but was still showing I was being billed. He submitted a refund request for me and closed everything completely. Then in XX/XX/XXXX, my mom received a letter from XXXX at her house halfway across the country as I live in CA and she is in MO. it was a bill saying I was past due {$170.00} and it was going to collections. I called XXXX customer service again to figure out why they are still billing me. The women told me that my account was closed and it was an early cancelation fee. she also informed me that my refund request for the 6 months of being charged {$80.00} was denied because they informed me that they were billing it in my email. which I went back and looked I did not receive one invoice from XXXX the only emails received were wanting me to come back to XXXX. I asked for the {$170.00} to be waived because they had stolen money straight from my account while I had no services opened with the company during the time. and XXXX bought out my contract to include all fees. This request was also declined. I tried explaining the situation to the debt collectors. XXXX messed up on closing my account when I switched to XXXX, they refuse to reimburse me and the debt has hit my credit report 3 times. No one has been willing to work with me on resolving the situation. I don't understand how the same debt can continue to knock my credit score for something that was XXXX mistake and they refuse to take responsibility.

Company: Roach & Murtha, P.C.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX @ XXXX. The envelope came to my address with a sticker that had my name on it. In addition the envelope merely had a return add., no company name. I thought that it was an advertisement. Upon opening the letter I truly believed that this was an advertisement, or a scam. The letter had NO creditor listed. They were merely offering me a " Winter Tax Savings ''. I was offered no opportunity to even dispute this alleged debt from the unknown creditor. This is the first and only communication that I have ever rcvd from this office. Additionally, the signature is a photo copy of " XXXX XXXX '' 's signature. The letter also states a current balance of {$340.00}. However, the offer is for " 25 % off of the current balance due and owing ''. How much are they demanding? They also state that the payment must be made in a " lump sum ''. If this is a valid debt, from a valid creditor, they can NOT demand payment in full. Also they have failed to provide their consumer debt collection license. 
This Law firm has clearly violated the numerous laws within the FDCPA and furthermore my consumer rights. 
I am asking for immediate sanctions to be brought against this firm, and they should be thoroughly investigated.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been trying to get a correct payment history from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because of double bills with different amounts and extra payments made that don't add up to the amounts owed. When the payment history was received in XX/XX/XXXX, it was wrong. Years of extra payments were not on it. I have tried to get a corrected payment history by emailing the XX/XX/XXXX website and calling to no avail. I was promised a corrected payment history by email in early XXXX because I wasn't sure how much of the partial and full payment I owed. The company lied to CFPB when they said they emailed me a corrected payment history in XXXX after I requested the payment history in XXXX. They did not. I check my email and junkmail every day. I have XXXX XXXX receipts for the payments that were not on the payment history. I need to know how much I owe on the payments so that I can pay the car off. I refuse to pay more than I owe. They have lied to me and CFPB, and they have harassed me and my students by calling me while I XXXX  7 times in 3 days when they were told I could answer calls after XXXX XXXX with an explanation as to why ; I have to keep my phone on for work notifications, which I don't get on time now that I turn the phone off. They have lied to me, stolen from me, and now harassed me. I want to know what the last two payments, if indeed there were even two payments left, are. I want to pay off the car. I need an emailed payment history. I was offered that in XXXX when they said the audit had been done and it never arrived in my email.

Complaint narrative:
Purchased fridgerator and stove on XX/XX/XXXX and was told it would be a lease to own product using whynotleaseit. Cash price was {$1800.00} and contract stated we would only pay a total of {$1500.00} per the sales price. Contract states wed pay an initial amount of XXXX, and then next pay of XXXX due on XX/XX/XXXX followed by XXXX payments of XXXX to complete a XXXX period term. We paid the initial payment of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and then made XXXX additional payments of XXXX with the final payment on XX/XX/XXXX for a total of XXXX, not {$1500.00}. Contract states we should not have paid past XX/XX/XXXX but that is not correct as it would have only equaled {$1400.00}. At this point we are under the impression we own the product since we have fulfilled all payments and then some. However, it then states on their website in order to own we have to pay an additional {$910.00}. If I have to pay the additional {$910.00} I would have paid a total of {$2600.00} to own a product with a cash price of {$1800.00}. That is almost a 40 % markup. This company is deceiving their customers into thinking they are renting to own, creating confusing and incorrect contracts, and are charging customers additional fees after payments have been made in full.
