Complaint narrative:
I was hoping this would work its self out but it just seems to be getting worse. Netspend/westernunion/XXXX XXXX, I literally have 12 prepaid cards now from them, they wont stop sending them and combining them with other accounts and cancelling them this is getting ridiculous. I'm supose to have been getting my stimulus check on their and I have no idea if thats happened now or if it was rejected because they closed they account or had a block on it. All my accounts were blocked for 2days, I had them all unblocked just to see they were all blocked again. After I just took this screen shot to upload with this letter, I know longer have access to my account again they just locked them all again.

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter recently from XXXX XXXX who is suddenly and mysteriously regenerating a bill that was closed out in a foreclosure back in XXXX for a property they even have listed improperly at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC and the physical address was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because the Attorney we hired who was handling everything had committed some fraudulent activity with hundreds of clients just like myself and I wound up with 2 Payments to different lenders at ridiculously high rates and not long after he wound up in prison for this subprime lending scam. 
This isXX/XX/XXXX and this was generated coincidentally on the same exact date that I had called Experian complaining about my FICO score being 30 points lower that my XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX FICO scores. This regenerated mortgage debt is over XXXX years old now and I should not be receiving mail at my Apartment in XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXXfor something this old. I am attaching this document and really need your assistance before this winds up on my Credit report.

From XX/XX/XXXX until the current day there have been addresses listed on my consumer report which are not my former address. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX. I am a victim of violent XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, a crime resulting in permanent disfigurement. The address which has been listed on my report has been altered countless times and the address which is protected by state law in my state has been the same since XXXX. Each time I dispute the address which keeps getting added back as my former address, someone is adding it back immediately even before the normal time of a dispute processing. I am being severely harassed and abused by the credit and other person who keeps adding this address back. The person and persons who caused the permanent disfigurement are laughing and take pleasure in stalking me through the credit reporting agency. They are also stalking my child who is under the age of XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX credit report shows FedLoans twice for the same student loan accounts. One listed for $ XXXX the other for $ XXXX, with XX/XX/XXXX stating I have $ XXXX in student loan debt. I have $ XXXX per the Dept of Education and FedLoans. 
Same day I contacted my acct rep with FedLoans, he stated one will fall off give it a month. 
Same day I filed a dispute with XX/XX/XXXX on the $ XXXX, denied it. Verified with the Dept of Education no one called or placed a verification request for total amount of distributed student loans.The person handling the disputes states consumer doesnt agree with FFCRA. Never mentioned FFCRA as I have no issue with 0 % interest yet but yet now I owe more money since XXXX. FedLoans is charging me {$50.00} a month to service my {$0.00} payment plan, yet my interest went up when it should be 0 % from XX/XX/XXXX onward through I believe XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Both the $ XXXX and $ XXXX student loans are still showing on my XX/XX/XXXX Credit Report. Placed a dispute with XX/XX/XXXX again, this time under the $ XXXX, sent in documentation to include a print out of my last FedLoan statement and a screen shot of the owed amount per the National Student Loan Database, and the Dept of Education with explanation that they are showing the same accounts with two different amounts combining them for total student debt of $ XXXX which is incorrect. 

I send an email to my account rep at FedLoan Servicing he calls me back from the East to West Coast, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, to assist me. Basically said FedLoans can not speak to XX/XX/XXXXand that yes it is wrong on theXX/XX/XXXX credit report as I sent him a screen shot. He suggested what I had already done that is to dispute it. 

XX/XX/XXXX - I called XX/XX/XXXX they said no I have the debt of $ XXXX, and opened another dispute on-top of a dispute. They gave no information on how they verify my student loans and refused to acknowledge that the same accounts are listed twice under the same account number ( s ). I advised it is impossible to take Federal Loans out for an XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX - pulled my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX credit reports to confirm they are reporting correctly of $ XXXX, sent info to XX/XX/XXXX and updated FedLoans. 

XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX dispute remains unchanged, stated they spoke with the student loan servicer and that the information is correct. Problem is they are verifying one account because you can not combined the two open student loans together, not resolving that these are listed twice.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery has been harassing me for years. They called my parents house at all hours of the day and would call several times a day, every day, even after my parents told them I didnt live there anymore. They call my cellphone several times a day from various numbers. They even called me at work today. 
They filed a suit against me in small claims court which has been settled and I am to start making payments this month. So since things have been settled with their lawyers I am unsure why they are still harassing me. Also, the letter from their lawyer states I will be charged 12 % interest yearly, which from my understanding is not allowed. 
This company has made my life an absolute nightmare.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I could not log into my Citizens online backing on XX/XX/2020 and after many calls to the customer service during the following days, I was finally told by a manager that my account was being scheduled to be closed and my debit card was cancelled. I was offered no explanation and no help. They assigned a local branch for further inquiry. But the local branch manager simply told me he could not do anything. I was able to get help from another branch in a XXXX XXXX XXXX that I frequent. The manager called the back office and told me the account closure was because of account activity. 

I opened my account following an Internet blogs recommendation of Citizens banks {$400.00} signup bonus on XX/XX/2020 which is the last day of the promotion. I just followed what people recommended in the discussion and did one {$600.00} direct deposit and 50 small XXXX purchases, and another {$10.00} XXXX deposit. The {$400.00} signup bonus requires one direct deposit for a {$300.00} bonus and 50 debit transactions for another {$100.00} bonus in 60 days. Apparently it is a difficult task to finish 50 debit transactions in 60 days ( minus a week or more to receive the debit card ) even before the pandemic and most people chose small XXXX purchases to meet the requirement of the 50 debit transactions. Other than that, my account is absolutely clean. Yet most peoples accounts were fine and there was no indication of massive account shutdowns for people who did the large number of small XXXX purchases. But my account was shutdown. 

When I raised this question to the branch manager, he could not explain it and suggest that the bank may choose a small sample of accounts to shut down. Then whats the standard to choose an account among all the accounts that had the similar activities to shut down? I have absolutely clean credit history and clean relationship with Citizens bank. They even sent me post card last fall to invite me to open new accounts with signup bonus. If Citizens bank can announce and prove that they equally shut down all the accounts that involved in large number of small XXXX purchases and explain the reason, that could be called a standard. Otherwise, it is a clear discrimination to choose my account to shut down. 

My account has no overdraft protection for the bank to worry about. There was no fraud alert, no declined transactions and no whats so ever during the days I made the small XXXX purchases until two weeks later my account was suddenly locked. There were some people out of Citizens banks servicing states that got applications declined or accounts closed. I hope they made a mistake. Citizens bank does have presence in NJ. They even have an ATM in the XXXX XXXX XXXX a few minutes away from my home until it was taken off not long ago. And my zip code was allowed to open the account online.

Company: Comerica
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is a complaint against Comerica Bank. The bank rep named XXXX XXXX sent me a letter s that she will be closing my account on XX/XX/2020, due to no reason. Upon numerous requests to explain her reason for closing my account, she did not disclose why she is closing my account. Instead, she was laughing and giggling, she said I am just doing this based on one of the Managers instruction. She would not give me further details. Thus I am unaware of this sudden closure. Comerica bank has horrible reviews on XXXX, etc and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Although, Comerica did not share any reason for this account closure, they kept on charging me numerous bank fees which should not be charged to the type of account I had. 
Employees of Comerica also shared their concerns about poor Management and customers not been helped, and Management overloading work, etc. The teller gave me the District managers phone number to call and discuss this. However, I was unsuccessful in reaching him.
