Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My excluded worker 's fund was stolen. When I received the bank card, I registered on the bank 's website and set up a transfer warning. Then, when I swipe my card at a restaurant near my home, I have Received a transfer text message. At the time, I also checked my bank balance and it was correct. After more than half a year, when I checked the bank balance, I found that there were only XXXX dollars left. When I called the bank 's customer service, I was told that my money had been wiped out. I was very shocked. My card was not lost in my possession, nor did I receive any transfer information from the bank. I don't even know where my money went. I asked the customer service for the transfer record, only to find that my card had been stolen on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I really can't believe which bank can pass through the card for more than XXXX XXXX dollars within 3 days, and there is no call or text message to notify the customer. As a result, I didn't even know that my card was stolen. Now the bank says that there is no way to protect my rights, because I have passed the 60-day retrospective period. The time of the transfer records I received from my previous consumption and the transfer records given to me by the bank are also inconsistent.

Complaint narrative:
My auto loan was paid in full. Instead of my score increasing, the credit bureaus said I was a liability to Lenders by paying one of my oldest debts off too soon, and therefore my score was actually decreased by XXXX points on XXXX and XXXX  points with transunion. 
As a consumer I should never be penalized for paying an installment off early considering the high interest rate. 
I never missed one payment and Im falsely penalized for paying my account timely.

The credit reporting agencies are bias and need to be more closely monitored to combat their inaccuracies and prejudices.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX refinanced home mortgage from Loan Care to XXXX XXXX ( new mortgage lender ). From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX contacted Loan Care to notify that I did not receive my remaining escrow funds of approximately {$1900.00} as I normally do after refinancing my mortgage. Several times, I tried and was told on the phone by the service representatives and manager, XXXX XXXX, that my escrow refund check had been mailed. I responded that I had never received the check. XXXX XXXX assured me that I would be receiving my escrow funds within a week- I did not receive anything. I got frustrated and did not pursue this matter as promptly as I should have and this is why I have contacted your bureau. It has been about eighteen months since I refinanced and Loan Care has not refunded my escrow funds and that is why I am filing this complaint requesting your assistance to help me receive the check that I should have received by XX/XX/XXXX. I greatly appreciate your assistance.
