Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I had a phone plan with XXXX I had 2 lines & a XXXX XXXX. Each line was approximately {$45.00} per month. The watch line was an additional {$10.00} per month. In XXXX before my new billing cycle, I ported out one number from XXXX  to another carrier because the other carrier 's coverage worked where I needed it to. XXXX continued to charge me for that line. My bill was on auto-pay. When contacting XXXX they only offered a bill credit when I said I wanted a refund so I ported out the remaining lines before the next billing cycle. XXXX charged me for all 3 lines the next cycle. 

I contacted XXXX and was told they would refund me the last payment only because I had a bill credit. I said that I had no more lines with them so I am due a refund. They said they issued a bill credit. I had no way of getting my money back that they overcharged so I disputed the charges on my credit card statement. The disputes are still pending, but the credit card issued temporary credits on the card. 

XXXX then billed me directly for the amounts that the credit card company credited, added reversed payment fees & sent the bill to collections. When I called XXXX they said the bill was not in collections. I've received a letter and phone calls from a collections agency. XXXX  representative could only file a dispute on my behalf for the bill, but can not fix it even though they see that I was overcharged for months for lines that I no longer have. Meanwhile collections is saying I have an unpaid debt that needs to be collected. I don't understand how a bill can end up in collections when it was only generated on XX/XX/2023. The last bill in XX/XX/2023 had a bill credit of XXXX. So somehow I went from having a bill credit to having a past due amount of {$270.00} in less than a month & the bill sent to collections

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX | XXXX | XXXX XX/XX/2023 U.S. House of Representatives XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Honorable XXXX XXXX : Bank of the West closed my account with no explanation. It has taken me months, and countless hours to transfer all my affairs to a new bank. Not to mention the bounced check charges I have incurred. 
After receiving the attached letters I went into my local branch on XX/XX/XXXX here in XXXX XXXX and spoke with the manager XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said she had no idea why I received the attached letters. Despite my complaints she said there was nothing she could do. I take great pride in handling my financial affairs. I pay my bills on time like my father taught me. Never in my XXXX years have I had an experience like this. Banking is a necessity in todays world. One can not function without a bank account. By the time I received the letters I had been a loyal customer for over 8-years. Why the sudden cancellation of my accounts, without explanation? Was my identity stolen? Was my account being used in a fraudulent way? Regardless, at least an explanation is in order prior to any closing of accounts. 
I can not believe that a bank can treat its customers with such arrogance. Why are banks allowed to behave this way? I am very upset about this and I am seeking an explanation. 
Why are banks allowed to close customers accounts with no explanation or reason? 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
This is a new complaint on Experian with regards to how they handled my dispute with a collector and their extremely difficult processing methods of providing information for disputes. 

I had filed a complaint with all three credit reporting agencies and CFPB with regard to an inaccurate credit report on my file. The CFPB complaint number is XXXX. Experian notified me of the final results of the dispute on XX/XX/23 ( XXXX ) without providing any written or electronic documentation. I was only able to know what the result was after speaking with the Experian operator who said that the debt collector has reported that the information is accurate. When I inquired about written documentation for my record the operator said that the information is not recorded and is via communication that can not be forwarded to the consumer. I was told to reopen a new dispute and send upload documents which I did. But Experian 's website upload evidence is extremely difficult and impossible to upload. 

The website has a 1-2 min limit on how fast you can upload information. I had to copy-paste info the subsequent time to apply faster, but then the website refused to upload documents. My files were already in PDF and less than the allowed size. The operator then told me to convert the files to black and white, which I did as well and wasn't that simple to do. Even after all these fixes, Experian refused to upload files. In my last conversation, the operator stated that they do not know the reason and I must send the documents by mail. 

With this experience, my concern with Experian is that they have purposely made the process so difficult for consumers that it is almost impossible to file a dispute with the information requested. Not providing any documentation of the results is also against transparency to their customers and gives protection against inaccurate filings on our credit reports.

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America has no way for me to contact them to report the fraud going on. I am an ID theft victim, they keep sending me letters stating an account I did not apply for was denied due to my XXXX XXXX XXXX banking score. They dont check credit reports they just allow fraud to run rampant. CFPB needs to regulate XXXX XXXX better. They are owned by big banks like Bank of America and it's their excuse by not allowing fraud alerts to be placed on that report and not checking the big 3 credit reports which if they did they would see the freeze and the fraud alert telling them the number they need to call me at to verify my information before going any further.
