Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rent Recovery Solutions
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) regarding inaccurate and unfair rental debt collection practices by ( Rent Recovery Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Company address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX GA XXXX Account # XXXX Amount Disputed : {$1200.00} The debt relates to a rental agreement in which I was on a month-to-month rental agreement and a new extended ( yearly ) lease agreement was never signed. I provided proper notice and do not owe any additional monies. 

Additionally, the collection agency failed to validate the debt when I requested proof under the FCDPA.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent an email from XXXX advising my lease was ready to sign - I never signed a renewal lease On XX/XX/XXXX a notice to vacate was emailed to XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a follow-up email to XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, I sent emails to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) disputing any rents owed and explaining neither I nor my co-signer signed a new lease and was on a month-to-month. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email with the Final Account Statement which did not include any additional rents owed or due. 

Throughout this process I spoke with several different associates at XXXX XXXX  and each time I was told they would fix the error because they could not find a signed lease agreement. I have included screenshots of how many times I called XXXX XXXX @ XXXX. 

This case should have been taken care of and never sent to collections. I spoke with this collection agency and was told to send documentation in which I sent in the form of a dispute letter. I did not receive any feedback and now I have collection letters being sent to an address where I do not live. 

I urge the CFPB to 1. Investigate ( Rent Recovery Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for unlawful debt collections. 
2. Require the deletion of this inaccurate debt from my credit reports 3. Ensure compliance with federal consumer protection laws. 


Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Associated Bank regarding their lack of online access to close a Certificate of Deposit ( CD ) account, which I believe violates consumer protection regulations regarding convenient account management.

Details of the Issue : I curren

tly have a CD account with Associated Bank that has matured. When attempting to close the CD online through their website or mobile banking app, I am unable to find an option to initiate the closure process. Despite contacting customer service, I was informed that the only way to close the CD is by visiting a physical branch or mailing in a notarized closure request, which is inconvenient and time-consuming. Reason for Complaint : I was able to easily open the CD online in a few
clicks, but I am unable to close the CD unless I visit a branch in person or send the notarized letter tot the bank branch. This lack of online closure capability for CDs restricts my ability to easily manage my finances and access funds as needed, particularly in situations requiring quick access to capital.

I believe this limitation constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice, as it could potentially disadvantage customers who rely on digital banking services.
