Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was at HSBC branch on XXXX & XXXX in XXXX today around XXXX. Before I got on this long line at downstairs foreign exchange office, I showed one of the tellers that I have old Pound Sterling currencies which I would like to exchange back to USD. The teller nodded " ok, just go to the end of the line ''. I got at this very long line, waited nearly 30 minutes, however, when I got to front of the line, teller XXXX told me " these money are old, we can not accept '' ; she further told me that these money are good to use only in XXXX, but foreign exchange office in HSBC bank no longer accepts them. Well, I felt so mistreated!!! Why ca n't her colleague, ( the teller I showed these old money to ) notify me before I got on this very long line to wait??? 

I spoke to HSBC assistant manager XXXX, who seemed have no clue with foreign exchange policy, she kept me wait for another 10 minutes, claimed " she needs to check with the tellers '', she had no idea what types of currency notes HSBC can or can not accept, I showed her again these old XXXX pound money, she was so unsure and did n't even know what guideline as what could be accepted. I requested since the teller MISINFORMED ME that it was ok for me to wait on line to exchange and I took her WRONG advice to wait online. HSBC should at least respect customer 's time and honor this one time exchange!!! However, both XXXX and XXXX had ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN OR RESPECT to customer 's time, they both refused to honor my one time request to change my XXXX pounds to US dollars. 

I totally wasted 40 minutes of my lunch hour with DISRESPECTFUL HSBC customer service reps and get no results!!! I had been a customer with HSBC for long time, I totally do not deserve this treatment.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017, I received a letter stating that Bank of America charged me {$1000.00} for a returned check. A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with XXXX on XX/XX/2017.

I cancelled the check I sent on XX/XX/2017 for I did not want to pay for double on my credit card. 

When I called Bank of America on XXXX, I spoke with XXXX of New York. I told her what the letter indicated : " Your account has been charged {$1000.00} for the returned payment. Your minimum payment due has been recalculated as a result of the payment .... 

" What you need to do : Submit a replacement payment upon receipt of this letter to avoid additional fees or interest charges, if you have n't already done so. Call us at XXXX to get your revised minimum payment amount and to make a payment by phone. 

She told me that my account has not been charged. I said, it has been - I 'm going on with what this letter says ( See enclosed letter. ) She gave me her supervisor 's name XXXX and his number XXXX. She asked me when will it be a good time to call? I said now. She said he is with a customer now. When is a good time to call you back? I said now. 

The issue has not been resolved.

Company: TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I have been contacted multiple times by a collection agency that goes by two separate names ; Central Financial Control & Syndicated Office Systems. They are trying to collect on a medical debt that is a result of identity theft. I never went to that hospital in XXXX. The hospital has different addresses on file that I 've never lived. I 've contacted them they said to contact the collection agency then proceeded to give me the wrong information. I 've sent a request for removal from y report over to this company. Nothing has happened, and I feel very vulnerable because they wo n't remove it and they must be paying the credit bureaus to keep on no matter what happens. How can they overpay to maintain the agencies from deleting an account? I think it 's because I 'm XXXX and they might think I 'm here illegally ; I swear I '' m a US Citizen. Attached are my letters my XXXX advisor told me to fill out and have sent. The credit bureaus have done an ok job at communication, but it 's still on my credit report. I 've been trying to get this taken care of now because I 'm tiring to get a place to live and buy. The loan officer said I could n't get the loan because the collection is in dispute and I would have to call and admits I do n't want to challenge it.. which I refuse to do because it 's not mine. The bureaus said they verified everything with the source ... How? I 'm needing help handle this because I have nowhere else other than these government places and XXXX rights place which they told me to record calls and track stuff which I have. Thank you for your time XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I opened account with Regions bank on XX/XX/XXXX.Today, XX/XX/XXXX, my wallet was stolen. I immediately called police and the Regions branch on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TN XXXX where I first opened my account at as it was the only quick Regions number I could find from the binder I was given when I opened the account.I never used my cards for once since I opened the account. I spoke to the branch manager named XXXX XXXX XXXX and requested that he should stop both my debit and access cards because someone just stole my wallet. He told me he did stop the cards and I should not worry and my money is still there. I asked him over and over to make sure whether or not I should call another number to stop the cards or if he could transfer me to the fraud department.He did not refer me or transfer me to the Regions bank fraud department.He told me that he has handled it and told me I should n't worry again. 
An hour later while I was making the police report, XXXX XXXX called me and told me that he has let a lady and a man withdraw {$3400.00} out of my account and he told me it 's because they had my ID and everything so he gave the money. 
This seems like he made a deal with the thieves.This is unprofessional and how can someone withdraw my hard earned money simply because they had my ID? I have the phone records.I called the police and the bank about the same time.An hour later he let the thieve get my hard earned money.

I had a capital one card that was stolen. I contacted the company because charges had been filed on my card. The company refused to investigate the charges b/c they were made by someone I knew. Regardless of if I knew them the card was stolen and the charges were not authorized. The company refuses to investigate signatures, charges or any details. They sent the debt to a 3rd party collector without resolving my complaint. They also continue to contact me about a debt they refused to investigate. I also discussed with the company paying the debt that I was responsible for in return that they remove the debt from my credit report however they refused. They want me to pay for fraudulent charges that I did not incur and that they fail to investigate because it will be costly to them.

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted several disputes to Experian for over 6 months now ; disputing the inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information listed on my credit report from multiple creditors. I have asked Experian on multiple accounts to remove any and all addresses, as well as personal information that does not belong to me, nor that I have ever lived at, and Experian will not acknowledge my request. Experian has continuously sent me a response to every dispute I send them, almost immediately refusing to thoroughly investigate the accounts because I have " previously '' disputed the accounts and they came back verified. My initial dispute was submitted in XX/XX/2015. I have sent a dispute every month since then, re-disputing the accounts with more information, or with a different reason as to why these accounts should be removed immediately. I have also requested method of verification, as well as proof of verification, and they have completely disregarded my request and thrown out my investigations entirely. I do not know where to begin in regards to having this matter resolved as I am constantly having to face an uphill battle with a company who is proving they are not abiding by the law and completing a full and thorough investigation. I am requesting that you please look into this matter and have Experian complete a full and thorough investigation of the accounts listed in the attached letter. I have sent them certified/registered mail with return receipt every month, and I know they have received my disputes because they reply back with the letter indicating the dispute will be disregarded to being previously investigated. Which I am aware of, but I am giving a completely different dispute reason every time. Please assist. I thank you for your time and help on this matter. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA - they are required to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified '' that I have disputed. Please resolve this manner as soon as possible. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I have a Chase card that was opened in my name that I did not apply for. The account was opened on XXXX/XXXX/16 with a {$500.00} limit. I have never received this card nor any correspondence from Chase regarding this card. To my knowledge, this card has never been used. When I called Chase directly I sat on hold for a very lengthy period of time because I did n't know my account number ( I was never issued a card! ) only to be told there was nothing they could do to help me because I did indeed open the card. I asked to speak with a supervisor to explain that my social security number has been misused more times than I can count and the only response that I got from the supervisor was that all I could do was close the account. That is not acceptable to me. I did n't request the card, I did n't open the account, and I want it taken off my credit report immediately.
