Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing fraud charges with both Regions Bank and XXXX since I found out about the charges on Saturday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Regions Bank has denied replacing my funds because the initial charge took place on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The dates of the charges range from XXXX XXXX, XXXX to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The dispute forms for the charges were received on Monday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and faxed back to Regions on XX/XX/XXXX with additional dispute forms that had to be faxed to me and completed as well. I faxed exactly XXXX pages on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX. According to Regions ( the dispute response letter that I received dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX from XXXX XXXX - Consumer Support XXXX ), I will not have my funds replaced ( ranging from $ XXXX {$210.00} ) because the initial charge was reported outside of the billing statement, however, a {$36.00} overdraft fee was refunded to my account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as a courtesy. As long as I banked with Regions Bank, my account was never over drafted until this issue occurred. It was not until after the fact ( Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) that Regions Representatives advised of enrolling in the online billing statements. It bothers me because the larger charges took place within the billing statement time frame and they will not replace it. All they did was give XXXX credits of {$26.00} and the larger charges basically threw them out when those took place within the 60 day statement period. I wrote the president of Regions Bank and have yet to get a response. I 've reported this information to the XXXX and all I am getting is back and forth excuses between Regions and XXXX as to why my funds wo n't be returned to me. The individual that stole my bank card information resides in XXXX and I have been a XXXX resident for over 20 years and has never travelled to XXXX in my adult years, nor since banking with Regions. I opened my Bank account XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and thought this was a solid banking institution that I could trust and remain with for a long period, however, due to recent events, I am incorrect. I feel as though Regions do not care about their customers like it is advertised. There should be no reason as to why it has or is taking well over two months to resolve this matter. I have provided all required information to both Regions Bank and XXXX and I 'm still at a dead end. No one wants to help.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I closed my account with XXXX XXXX. I received a final bill of {$33.00} which my wife paid. The bill was paid on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and I have a bank statement showing that. The following month XXXX XXXX sent a refund check for the amount of {$33.00}. I assumed they overbilled me and made things right by sending the check, and never thought another thing about it. 
XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from AFNI for the balance of {$33.00}. AFNI was called and a dispute was opened. My wife sent them proof of payment. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my wife called AFNI, and they stated they had received the documentation and had sent it to XXXX XXXX. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a letter from AFNI, saying they were resuming collection activities. 
We have made numerous follow up calls to both XXXX XXXX and AFNI in an effort to get this resolved. Today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) my wife and I spoke with a representative from AFNI who informed me that my credit had already been damaged as a result of this. I had a local Credit Bureau run my credit and learned that I had indeed suffered a negative mark on my credit showing that I was in collections for {$33.00}. I can not get anywhere trying to talk to either XXXX XXXX or AFNI, and continually get the run around. I would happily pay the {$33.00} if I can get assurance that my credit will be restored. I am very upset that my credit has been compromised over a mistake made by XXXX XXXX, which they refuse to admit too, but the documentation shows otherwise. 
I do not have a way to upload documentation, but can send it via mail if needed.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am asking you for assistance to intervene on my behalf concerning willful non-compliance within a " reasonable time '' by AFNI, Inc. refusing to remove, by law, a proven fraudulent credit profile account off my credit reports. 
This unauthorized account is a red flag that is damaging my credit record ; which is a violation of my rights pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In circumstance, I provided my name, address, and social security number, demanding within ( 10 ) ten business days, via certified mail Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/2015 for the creditor to provide me a copy of the original application bearing my signature, giving authorization to pull my credit history so that I may forward it to the police authorities for investigation. 
The creditor has willfully not complied with my request. I have never received any benefit directly or indirectly from the fraudulent transaction ( s ). Any signature is a forgery and was made without my knowledge ; perhaps due to consumers having similar names and/ or social security numbers. I look forward to you helping me in this matter.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
My credit/debit card number ( I had possession of the card ) was compromised and used at a gas station some hour plus away from my home local. Then, there was at least XXXX attempt for use of my card the next day XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2015 ) XXXX, I am XXXX. The only reason the XXXX XXXX attempt failed is because I had called the bank regarding the " pending '' charge from the gas station that occured or had a date of XXXX XXXX, 2015 ( called immediately ). I received a letter on Sat, XXXX XXXX, that the activity was normal and no error had occured. Well unless Pennsylvania is a normal activity for me, which it is n't, the bank is just refusing to take care of a fraud issue. Granted the charge for gas was {$48.00} but had I not caught it, I could have had a major problem ... not to mention every penny counts in my household! My understanding is that I am not liable for these charges since I physically had possession of my card and the number was stolen. The bank, Regions, is being tacky and refusing to look into the " actual '' authorization activity on the account. The investigators did n't even use this information before sending me a letter of denial. I then called and spoke with a resolution specialist. I still have yet to hear anything but feel this case is being swept aside by Regions. I am being forced to jump through hoops and 2 hour long phone calls to no avail. I am the victim here! Why should it take so much for me to get a resolution?! Their actions, or lack there of, are unacceptable.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Chase owes me a credit balance of over {$26000.00}. I am getting very frustrated with them because every time I call, I get a different answer and keep getting transferred around. I asked to speak to the appropriate dept. to get my refund and they advise me that there is no dept. that I can speak to over the phone and that they 're only available in writing. They also told me that the check should take no more than seven business days. The request was received a week ago from today, or at least that 's when I called to put in the request. Unless, of course, they do n't have their facts straight and say they have no record of it. I just want my money back from the merchant credits I finally received due to fraud. This is not an overpayment, so they have no way of taking a loss to the business. These are credits from the merchant or Chase that are permanent. Therefore, there should n't need to be all this non sense of research. When I called last night, I was told the refund check was sent out. When I called today, I was told that the request is still under review. I call again and they tell me that it 's going to take an additional four days of research. They also mention that my account was closed due to bank policy, which I am aware of. I am not sure why they keep telling me that when I call since I tell them that I am calling about a balance refund check, I did n't mention anything about my account being closed.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen has not been helpful when it comes to me making my payments. I make my payments in person at a local office. It takes a long time for them to process payments and they hold me accountable for paying late fees I should not be paying. I met with a Housing Counselor who has assisted me in my attempts to bring my account current. Last time we spoke with Ocwen they provided the amount due to bring the account current. We sent in that exact amount split into different checks because I had gotten assistance from different sources. They sent one back stating it was not the full amount due, well neither was the other half they accepted. Their customer service will just read the notes to you, and not look or even try in anyway to assist. This has been taking so many hours and I am still not able to resolve the issue yet. It all started on XXXX/XXXX/2015. They sent my payment XXXX years ago they claim, I have not gotten anything back yet. They told me to just re-send it, I see this so pointless. They have added a late fee once again, they should be responsible for not processing the payment correctly, and somehow it ends up being my fault. They have not even offered any type of assistance to me. I have XXXX, and have been having XXXX. When I reached out to them, and explained my hardship they simply said ... .. " This is the amount that is due on your account, do you think you can pay today? ". When Ocwen says, " Helping customers is what we do '' I feel like its a straight lie! Even if they do n't help me, can they just simply do their job right?

Complaint narrative:
My wife ordered a beauty product called XXXX online and only ordered the product once. However this fraudulent company started sending more products without her permission and charging the account. We kept going to Regions bank disputing it. But they kept jacking us around saying they would resolve it. Never happened! So we paid the negative and closed the account. Even after the account was closed Regions bank continued to allow this fraudulent company to send charges to an account we closed. Then Regions bank keep sending us notices that we are in negative overdraft charges. Regions is doing this so that the account will go to collections and affect our credit and then it will force us to pay money we do n't owe. In 2015, Regions Bank had to pay consumers back XXXX XXXX dollars in fraudlent overdraft fees for ripping off its own customers. They will never allow any of your accounts to close even after you take out a your money and close the account it 's really not closed. I took my money today different bank but Regions bank is still keeping an old account open with no money in it and keep allowing XXXX to charge it.
