Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
US Bank continues to honor fraudulent money orders and will not close our business account. Our office was broken into twice, checks and money orders were stolen, the money orders were already cashed using US Banks product Single Point Scanning system where checks and money orders are scanned into their system rather than doing a manual deposit at a local bank. I have written US Bank a XXXX page letter asking them to stop honoring the fraudulent money orders and they tell me that they have to continue to honor them because they are US Postal money orders which requires them to honor the money orders even though they know they are fraudulent. There have been XXXX arrests in this case due to my due diligence in investigating the break in and finding the suspects. I am working with our local postal inspector, and Sheriff Department as well as local police. One of the suspects was arrested in XXXX, and I have been asked to appear in XXXX in XXXX to give a victim statement at the sentencing hearing. The other XXXX suspects court appearances are being scheduled and I am required to be present there as well. I will be happy to send you all the documents related to this fraud case, including the letter I wrote to US Bank and the response I got from US Bank. I was told by my US Bank representative that this was unprecedented and that the bank does not know how to handle this issue, so they decided to fall back on normal bank rules and regulations rather than work to correct this issue. My insurance company is completely stumped and can not understand why a bank would continue to honor what they know are fraudulent money orders and are considering not paying the claim because there is a continuous stream of money orders coming in weekly. US Bank told me that once the account is 30 days past due they will close the account and no more would be honored, so I thought it was over and my insurance company would then pay the claim, but without warning US Bank took money out of our other account to balance out and continue to honor the fraudulent money orders. So now I am back to square one, watching the money stack up and I ca n't do anything about it, my insurance company has hired an independent investigator to look into this issue and the bank is being uncooperative with him, he just wants to find out why and maybe the insurance company will then honor the claim. This is a very long and painful problem and I do n't know what to do at this point. If the bank wo n't give me the money back, and the insurance company ca n't pay because of the bank 's actions I may have to close my business because there is no way I can pay $ XXXX back. I need help.

Complaint narrative:
This is a combination of fraud/scam and unauthorized transactions. US Bank is selling XXXX Prepaid Gift Cards which are n't activated properly upon purchase though the activation slips after purchase indicate they are activated and nothing is wrong. US Bank then forces you to fax in all the card information to their " activation center ''. You do not receive any calls from the activation center, but then the card will be furtively activated without your knowledge and the funds drained. Either US Bank is complicit in supporting this fraud, or they are completely negligent for allowing this to happen. I have attached for reference the images and fax that I was forced to fax to them to have my card activated.

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to modify my Heloc loan with US Bank for 2 1/2 years. I sent a hardship letter XX/XX/2014, stating I had lost my job, and was living on S.S. Also, my daughter had stopped paying on her 1/2 of the loan. Subsequently I have submitted a minimum of XXXX applications for relief. I have sent to the bank all of their documents, albeit sometimes it took a while to gather the info. Many times, the bank claimed they did n't receive the docs, and when they would finally get back to me, the docs had expired. US Bank forced me into bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX because they threatened to sell my home on the courthouse steps. I am still unable to make the payments because of my income status which is the reason I started this in the first place. At the first application I owed $ XXXX, now thanks to their delaying tactics, I owe over $ XXXX. They have given me lip service that they dont want me to lose my home, but yet delay, delay, delay! I think US Bank is unethical, and crooked. I even sent a registered, certified letter to the CEO XX/XX/XXXX, and not the slightest response. I am XXXX years old, have lived in my home for 46 years, and at this stage do n't want to be thrown out on the street. There is nowhere I can live where I can have what I have for what I pay. At my latest complaint I filed with US Bank, I stated I could pay {$400.00} per month, even though this is still a hardship. Can you help?

US Bank/US Bank Home Mortgage has been unwilling to work with me to modify the terms of my home loan. I have consistently submitted all paperwork requested, all to no avail. They constantly lose the documents I send ; send correspondence from all over the United States ( oftentimes, not to me ) ; no one can give me a status, stating instead that I am in " underwriting.

I have been dealing with their unprofessionalism and do not care attitude since XX/XX/XXXX. It should not take 5 years to do a simple loan modification. I have explained to them that we are upside down on our mortgage, I have been unemployed since XX/XX/XXXX, and that my husband is a United States Veteran. I still can not and have not received any relief or any clear indication of what exactly it is they need from me.

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a few phone calls at work ( he left a message ) and on my cell phone from XXXX XXXX of the law office of D. Carruthers in XXXX Ca I decided to call him back. He told me I had a debt and owed XXXX from a XXXX loan I had taken out a few years ago. He then gave me XXXX options 1. pay XXXX today and make small payments on the rest. 2. make larger monthly payments to pay it off. 3. pay smaller payments but would need to pay XXXX today for a down payment to start the repayment process. I explained to him I would need more time to come up with XXXX. He told me that was not an option because I have already taken a long time to repay them back. He also told me it would be embarrassing if he had to serve me legal papers at my place of work since I am refusing to settle this today. I told him I was not refusing to settle, I just needed more time. He began to get rude and began to ask why cant someone like my husband or anyone help me pay this. I explained, I did not have a husband or anyone that would help me. I told him it is too hard for me right now because I have a baby and another son. He then replied, " so you have a new baby with no husband ''. He said that sarcastically. He also said he knows how much money I made and said he knows I can make the payments. I again explained to him I was not able to pay just yet. I asked if I could call him back. He confirmed my place of employment as if he was going to send someone to come by. Before hanging up I asked to speak to the attorney he had mentioned earlier he said I could speak to him at court. I was trying to see if we would be able to settle something in the near future, but he did not seem to want that. after a few minutes went by I called him back because I felt very threatened and nervous about him/someone coming to my place of employment. When I called him back I told him to not call or go to my work ever again. He replied by saying they will do whatever they want to resolve this. I then asked for their address. He replied by saying that I do not need their address anymore because they have already made a decision about what to do with my case. I said I want your address any way. He gave me XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ca XXXX. I then asked for their fax. XXXX XXXX then hung up on me. Also in the middle of the conversation I asked him how much was the loan I took out, he replied XXXX or something like that, but I now owe over XXXX from interest. I feel threatened and nervous about job loss. I also think he refused to settle anything with me because he did not want to give me more time.

I do not belief that some one who is already a good and loyally customer at the bank would be get denial just because of a score and a number and not look at the fact these is our loyally customer. is it because of our age. it can not be because our good credit. because you will not can not find any information to warrant a denial in my credit file. my fico is a XXXX, we want to stop use my credit for business. and build the business credit line. I think its unfair to being denial base on a score with out look at my husband account that already with this bank. if we are not approve. we can not get the tax credit at the end of the year. that why we apply for a business commercial account. so we could get the tax credit to writer off company expense and stop use personal credit for the business..

Issue: Balance transfer — 
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2015 I did a balance transfer from XXXX of my credit cards with a higher interest rate to my First National Bank of Omaha card. The rate on the original balance was at 12.99 % and the rate being offered by FNB was 5.99 % guaranteed for the life of the balance and with no fees involved. The amount of the transfer was {$7400.00} and was posted to the FNB account on XXXX/XXXX/15. The monthly payment on this amount on the original credit card was {$140.00}. The monthly payment on the FNB card before the transfer was {$170.00}, which resulted in a total per month of {$310.00} for both cards. Now the payment on the FNB card has increased to {$410.00} per month, {$98.00} per month more than I was paying before the transfer occurred. My question to FNB was how can my payment increase {$98.00} per month when the interest rate on the {$7400.00} amount went from 12.99 % to 5.99 %? Also, in the '' minimum payment warning '' of their statement it was explained that if I were to only make the minimum payment of {$410.00} every month it would take XXXX years to pay off the balance BUT if I were to make payments of $ XXXX it would be paid off in XXXX years saving me over {$1000.00}. FNB insisted that my minimum payment was indeed $ XXXX. When I suggested that I make the $ XXXX payment that was shown for early payoff I was told I would be charged a late fee every month. When I asked the customer service supervisor to explain the " fuzzy math '' to me, his answer was " That 's just how it works. '' So, by attempting to save money every month by lowering my interest rate by a full 7 % I am now spending {$98.00} more each month instead. I wonder how many other unsuspecting consumers have been mislead by FNB into transferring their higher percentage balances to this company and thinking they would also reduce their monthly payment by taking advantage of the lower rate.

Complaint narrative:
Why am I still getting a bill? I paid off my account and if I would have been informed that my rewards would be lost if cancelled ( which I should have been ) I would have requested them paid to my account before cancelling and you would have been owing me money. 

It is not much fun to get a load of groceries and then be told that your card is being declined. You had my phone number and I should have been called about the fraud charges and let known that I would not be able to use my card. I was on vacation and it was at a very bad time to have this happen. 

I feel that because of the rewards that were not applied and I was not contacted about my card being declined -- - I do not owe you - you would owe me and I would be charging you late fees and past due amount. You owe me {$40.00} for rewards and I owe you only {$7.00}. You charged me a {$29.00} late fee before I even got a chance to pay on the statement.
