Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official
Company: Consumer Financial Services
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I open a car loan with Consumer Financial services in the amount of {$8100.00} and it was paid off. On XX/XX/XXXX another car loan was taken out in the amount of {$7200.00} and was paid off. I noticed a collection from the same company for a 3rd account in which I was not aware of. This account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and has a past due balance of {$5600.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. I then reached out to the company to dispute this. They tried to claim they were not sure what I was talking about. Shortly after I received threatening phone calls from a man who claimed to be the lawyer representing the finance company. He proceeded to call me more than 15 times a day stating he was at the court house due to the balanced owed and if i wanted to avoided getting jail time I'd need to meet him at the finance company and pay the balanced owed. I than contacted the company and they refuse to acknowledge the situation. It got to the point where they started to call my job and threatening my boss with legal action if I did not pay the balance owed. I eventually had to find a new job due to the constant harassment. I then decided to go to the police station to file a report on the incident. I was to provide all information on my car including registration and the legal contract. After the VIN was put into the system I was informed my car had been reported stolen a few weeks before I purchased it. I went ahead and called CFS to explain the discovery. I was called a liar and was told I personally reported the car stolen when I did not. Shortly after that I started getting the calls again threatening to throw me in jail. After that CFS took my car and said it was out of their hands. This company is UNPROFESSIONAL and ROBBED me of my money and sold me a stolen car. They refuse and deny opening up the 3rd loan account. I disputed this with XXXX XXXX  and it was removed.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I used my Barclay Aviator MasterCard to purchase a trip from XXXX for 6 people leaving XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. The cost of the trip was {$9000.00} and I paid it in full. I have all receipts including my credit card charge, receipt from the online site and travel itineraries. In XXXX, I had contacted the online site regarding possible cancellation and refund for the trip but was reassured by them that as long as I canceled by XX/XX/XXXX I would have a full refund. In XXXX, when the covid-19 began to worsen in the US, I attempted without success to reach XXXX via their three different phone numbers and was given a XXXX number which means phone was disconnected. Within days, a message showed up on their site saying they had closed their doors and canceled all trips but no refunds would be issued and customers were to contact our credit cards in hope of getting refunds. I have now minimally twice contacted my credit card because I paid for something and was scammed without received what I purchased. I should have protection from my Mastercard in situations like this. I have submitted all receipts, itinerary Etc and has been denied each time stating it was a pandemic and out of their control according to my MasterCard.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
With a promo code XXXX ( {$200.00} bonus offer ) attached, I opened XXXX  Money Market account with U.S. Bank, with initial deposit of {$100.00}, on XX/XX/XXXX from the following link at : https : //www.usbank.com/XXXX  The terms of the promotion were : Open a XXXX  Money Market account and deposit {$10000.00} or more by XX/XX/XXXX Maintain a balance of {$10000.00} or more through XX/XX/XXXX The monthly maintenance fee of {$10.00} can be waived when minimum account balance is {$10000.00} As soon as I received an account approval notice from the bank, I set up online account profile, linking external account to this account enabling fund transfers, etc. Finally, I managed to deposit {$10000.00} additionally on XX/XX/XXXX, well before the required deposit deadline of XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed Monthly Maintenance Fee of {$10.00} was charged the day before, even though the account balance was {$10000.00} at that time. I called U.S. Bank and discussed the matter with Customer Service Representative, XXXX. XXXX apologized for the system glitch and refunded the {$10.00} fee immediately, stating that this would not affect my {$200.00} bonus eligibility. And I asked XXXX to note on my account about her assurances. 

Though I learned that customers who had opened savings account with the same promotional offer received {$200.00} around XX/XX/XXXX, no bonus had posted on my account. I contacted U.S. Bank and spoke to XXXX ( Ext # XXXX ) about a missing bonus. XXXX submitted a manual processing request for me and provided me with her extension number as a proof. 

I contacted U.S. Bank again on XX/XX/XXXX, and discussed the missing bonus with XXXX. XXXX filed a Request Form for Promotional Offer for me. However, I have yet to see the bonus posted on my account ; nor have I heard from U.S. Bank, despite my repeated attempts to resolve the matter. 

Furthermore, I read online postings showing that customer who were in the exactly same situation ( {$10.00} maintenance fee charged for first month but waived thereafter ) also received the {$200.00} bonus one way or another. ( Evidence to be furnished upon request ) Therefore, I request that the {$200.00} bonus should be posted on my account without undue delay!

Complaint narrative:
I have sent Transunion a certified letter advising them that they are reporting errors and duplicate accounts incorrectly. They have failed to correct this and I'm tired of these credit bureaus reporting incorrectly and making money off of consumers. Per law they are suppose to report accurate information and they are failing. Please contact for me and maybe we will get a better answer as to why they keep ignoring to do an investigation of the information they are reporting. I will attach screenshots of an account they are reporting TWICE.
