Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We opened 2 CD accounts with Wells Fargo payable to the XXXX 's XXXX XXXX XXXX for our bond which is required to have an active XXXX 's license in California. The CD bond money is the property of XXXX 's XXXX XXXX XXXX and as such can not be accessed by ourselves and more importantly Wells Fargo. As per the attached letter we have made our position to Wells Fargo quite clear. In essence Wells Fargo 's actions caused us losses of personal health, customers, job income, legal fees and time. Wells Fargo contacted us and asked if we would accept {$1500.00} for the unauthorized closing of the CDs which we declined. Subsequent to this offer we entered into a mediation process. During the mediation the Wells Fargo representative who had previously contacted us lied about what the {$1500.00} offer was for. Instead of admitting that the offer was for the CD 's he said the offer was for an unauthorized credit card that they opened which occurred the same day they closed the CD 's.  The credit card issue was never mentioned in that conversation and in fact Wells Fargo made a {$200.00} offer which we accepted as settlement in full for the unauthorized credit card in our name months before he called us about the CDs. We are not certain where we go from here so we are appealing to your agency for help and direction

Company: Stenger & Stenger, P.C
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I was repeatedly lied to about settling with this debt collector by its collection dept at stenger and stenger law firm debt dept. I called on XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative and came to an agreement to settle this debt before my court date on the XXXX. I was told if I paid them 1350.00 on the XXXX of XXXX XXXX, that stenger and stenger would drop any actions moving forward with judgement. I repeatedly asked them if they would be able to make sure this was taken care of on their end and I would be safe from any judgements from this case. I was told 4x over on that phone call that I was released from any judgement and also that they messaged their paralegal who contacted the lawyer named XXXX XXXX of XXXX Indiana and the message was passed onto them and I was promised that they would drop any further actions and that they would make notes to leave extra messages for this lawyer to stop any actions against me for this upcoming judgement. I also asked for a letter stating this agreement be mailed to me expediated. I got neither. Instead, XXXX XXXX I got a letter stating the account that stenger and stenger was suing me for was paid and is on contingent on the clearance of payment I already made to them. Nothing about the agreement to stop pursuing the judgement against me for said account. I got another letter on the XXXX of this XXXX stating I have to sign a new document of a fake settlement offer that did n't take place, tyring to trick me into accepting that they filed judgement against me even though we already agreed that if I paid them 1350.00 on XXXX XXXX XXXX that they would not file against me in court and the judgement would be stopped on that very XXXX XXXX XXXX and I would not need to go to court on the XXXX since this was considered paid there would n't be a reason to show up at court. 
This new agreement they drew up states that upon signing, they would file documentation with the courts to close the file. I also have screen shots of my paypal account showing I paid them on the XXXX of XXXX XXXX. This is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you. Please note, if I am refunded my pay pal card name was not updated to my maiden name ( recently divorced ) Name on card that was submitted to Stenger and Stenger was XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Prestige Financial stopped reporting positive payment history. Payments made under 30 days, went unreported to XXXX for several consecutive months in XXXX. During my attempt at rebuilding decent credit, Prestige failed to update XXXX with payments made in good standing. When I fell behind XXXX days XXXX, Prestige quickly updated my account and listed the account as currently past due on the same day the agreed upon payment arrangement cleared. Post payment, I am left with a currently past due account on my credit report. Presitige Financial chooses when to report your credit activity and its not when your account is positve or timely. Prestige also updated the same account XXXX as currently past due to XXXX, after years of reporting the account was closed in bankruptcy.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I 'm filing a complaint against Chase @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CO XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX, for wrongfully and illegally foreclosing and selling of my property @ XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Both were given a copy via certified mail, of a Land Patent that has been brought in my name, and therefore they do n't have the legal authority to sell my property. A Land Patent is the  only form of proof of absolute title to land/property in the United States of America. Since neither has title to my property, how can they foreclose or sell the property? Also, in the case of foreclosure by a bank, the law is on the books today which says that any debts, which lie against the land, that existed prior to the land patent being issued, are removed from the land. There still may be a debt owed, but my house/property is off limits, lawfully. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I requested from chase the original wet ink signature copies of the Promissory Note and Mortgage/Deed of Trust in order to prove that Chase has the legal authority to foreclose on said property. I 'm challenging the debt that Chase claims I owe. I have demanded proof of standing to collect or foreclose and of the debt owed to Chase. To this date, I have not received any requested documentation of proof from Chase and therefore demand that Chase and their attorney immediately stop the sell of my property on XXXX XXXX of XXXX. 

I also challenge that I may not have received an actual loan, since the bank 's account was never debited, and my account was never credited, makes the loaning of credit only unlawful. All monies and interest that repay the mortgage are pure profit to the bank. Plus with the fact that the Promissory Note that I signed was sold without my permission, my mortgage debt to them is actually paid in full with that note. Therefore, non-disclosure by the banks, created by the bank of these important facts can be legal grounds to have my mortgage taken off the books and forgiven.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I filed for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. I successfully completed my chapter XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX XXXX. Shortly after my discharge, I got a notice from Bayview that I was 229 days delinquent on my mortgage and the amount due to bring my loan current is {$16000.00}. I disputed the delinquency amount and I found out that they have my account in suspense. I contacted my lawyer who then wrote to Bayview to remove my account from suspense and credit my payment accordingly, but Bayview did not do that correctly. On the Post-Petition Ledger from Bayview Transaction date, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX amount received {$11000.00} this payment was not applied correctly. 

I also told them that if I had missed a payment while I was in bankruptcy, they were by law supposed to call the bankruptcy court as well as my attorney to report me and that they were in violation of the bankruptcy code. Since then, I have been trying to deal with them. They sent me an application to apply for a loan modification, making home affordable to avoid foreclosure. I accepted the offer and I applied for a modification. I submitted all the necessary documents as requested. Three months later Bayview denied the modification stating a Negative NPV- that the owner of my loan did not approve a modification. 
They gave me alternatives to pre-foreclosure or Deed-in-Lien. Bayview tactics are unethical and illegal, they are making it very difficult for me so that they will foreclose on my house and make money.This company is just awful, does not record all payments, even though the checks were cashed and I have proof from my bank Attached are my correspondence to Bayview and the Post-Petition Ledger from Bayview showing all my payments.This company is just awful, Bad COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH. A lot of negative complaints about this company, they have destroyed a lot of families. See attached compliant.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied online for a auto loan at the U.S. Bank website. The bank did not communicate with me on the progress of my application ; I did not receive any phone calls, letters or emails.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a phone call to my local U.S. Bank branch and spoke to manager XXXX XXXX. She told me that my application had been denied due to insufficient documentation. I said that the bank had never requested any additional documentation from me. She said I can bring proof of my income to the branch and she would appeal the denial decision. I came to the branch on the same day and gave her copies of my recent paychecks. I told her that I did not want to appeal the banks decision if this results in a new hard inquiry on my credit report. She said that there will be no hard inquiry if she appeals the decision.

In two days, on XX/XX/XXXX, she called me and said that she had been unable to appeal the decision because the case had been closed. She also said that I can apply for a pre-approval for an auto loan again ; if I do so, I have better chances to be approved. ( My first application was not a pre-approval ; it was the actual loan application ). She said that if I want to proceed with the pre-approval, I need to come to the branch again and sign the application. I asked her again if this would result in a hard inquiry on my credit report, and she said no, it would not, because the second application is submitted within 30 days from the date of the first application.

I came to the branch on the same day and XXXX XXXX told me that I would meet another banker, XXXX XXXX, to finalize the second loan application. XXXX XXXX actually told me that he did not need my signature to submit my application. He even said that he did not know why XXXX XXXX had told me to come to the branch. According to him, the application process could have been done over the phone. At that time, I became very alarmed as I realized that XXXX XXXX says something different every time I speak with her. I specifically told XXXX XXXX that I do not want to proceed with the second application if it results in a hard inquiry on my credit report. Just like XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX also told me that no new hard inquiry would appear on my credit report. He submitted my application and I left the branch. When I came home, I received a notification from XXXX, credit reporting agency, about a new hard inquiry placed by the U.S. Bank on XX/XX/XXXX.

I consider this activity as customer fraud and sales fraud.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
This issue has to do with the excise tax on the loan. There was a balance of {$35.00} for the excise tax which I was unaware of for several months. XXXX has informed me not to pay the excise tax bill until the abatement went through. The balance of the abatement and excise tax bill was {$35.00} and I never received a new bill informing that this {$35.00} balance was due. Instead of calling me or informing me of this balance XXXX quietly reported me delinquent for a {$35.00} dollar balance on the entire lease amount for the loan which caused my credit score to drop. These delinquent payments should be removed from my account.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX XXXX, 2017, I transferred balances from Capital One credit card to another bank due to their unfair, exorbitant APR. The bank in turn issued a check to pay off balance to Capital One. I called Capital One after I went online to view my account and verify that they had received the payment and it had been credited to my account, bringing the account to a " XXXX '' balance. I asked them to " CLOSE '' the account. The account is showing " Closed '' online when I go in to check my account and verify that it 's closed. However, Capital One has " refused '' to notify the 3 credit reporting agencies. The account is still showing " Open '' with a balance over {$6000.00}, at all 3 credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I have spoken to Capital One and they have given me the " runaround '' treatment, putting me on hold over and over, and coming back with some nonsense about why this problem might be happening rather than admitting that they never informed these 3 agencies that my account is closed as required by law. This is typical Capital One tactic, angered that they can no longer " suck the life out of me '' with ridiculously high interest. Very unsavory, unethical, underhanded company. Also spoken to XXXX, faxed closure verification retrieved online. Submitted " disputes '' at all 3 agencies.
