Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There were fraudulent claims placed on my account, with Bank Of America, for {$1500.00}, {$350.00}, {$350.00}. 
These claims were NOT done by me nor did I have access to the funds or my bank checking account. Someone was using my account and submitting fraud claims that required no information to receive the temporary claims. 

They sent temporary credits for the fraudulent claim in the amounts of [ {$1500.00} ], [ {$350.00} ], [ {$350.00} ] to the account which were immediately taken by the fraud person accessing my account. 

The fraudulent claims were reversed, in XX/XX/XXXX, which I then became a aware of the fraudulent charges, which brought my account to an outstanding balance of negative [ XXXX ] ( taking my personal [ {$1400.00} ] which was previously in my account ). 

As I am trying to have my account back to good standing and explaining these claims were fraudulent charges they will not reimburse me for their faults. I am not being treated fairly in this situation and would like to have the right as a customer to have my previous funds back and have my account in good condition.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I leased a new XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. With my lease I also purchased a Dent and Wheel protection plan through XXXX. My original monthly lease amount was going to be {$120.00}, but the protection plan fee was added to my lease, so my monthly lease payment became {$150.00}. A few months later, I found out that I was originally sold the wrong plan ( due to the type of wheel ). XXXX resolved the issue by cancelling the plan and giving me a {$500.00} refund. Meaning, I kept paying the XXXX till the end of the lease. I accepted the {$500.00} settlement. So far so good. 
The problems started afterwards. At the end of the lease, in XXXX of XXXX, I requested an extension on the lease from Kia Finance, and I received it. At that time, I was told by a Kia Finance agent on the phone, that due to their computer system, they can not change my payment to {$120.00}, and I would have to keep pyaing the XXXX, eventhough I did not have the Dent and Wheel protection plan anymore. They told me on two separate occasions, by two different agents, that I would get a refund of {$180.00} for the overpayment at the end of the 6 months extension period. One of these agent 's name was XXXX. 
XXXX months of {$30.00} overpayment results in about {$180.00}, Therefore, I kept paying {$150.00} monthly for 6 months, and requested the {$180.00} refund at the end of the lease. I called several times and talked with different people about my refund. My call was always transferred from ane person to the next, I was put on hold for long periods of time, such as XXXX minutes, but no one seemed to know who was responsible for refunds. Eventually, I spoke with XXXX, back in XXXX, who told me that I would not get a refund. When I asked why, she put me on hold for a long time, for doing research, and eventually she coud n't give an explanation. Just said that my account was not due for a refund. I asked to speak with a supervisor. She said she was the superviror and that her supervisor was not available. I also mentioned that I wanted to write to Customer Service. She told me that even if I contacted Customer Service by writing, the letter would come to her and she would deny my request.

Kia Finance Attn : Care Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Even though, this is about a {$180.00} refund, I feel that I received an unfair treatment from Kia Finance . Also, the same problem could happen to someone else, who might lease an expensive car, therefore lose more money in the process, than I did.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have automatic payments set up on my Discover card for the minimum monthly payment. I know when I set up the payments, I was advised that if I make the payment prior to the payment coming out automatically then it would not go through. I like to make my payments in advance if I can so that it's withdrawn sooner. However, I was not sure of how far in advance the payment needed to be made so that a duplicate payment is not withdrawn, so I contacted them by phone to confirm. Long story short, after speaking to two representatives to confirm it would not be withdrawn, both payments were withdrawn from my account and caused my account to go into the negative. I called for a resolution and the only resolution I was provided with was we can refund the payment once it's posted. I asked if my credit card account could be credited with any fees I receive from my financial institution and my question was not addressed. I asked if the payment can be pushed to the following due date and the question was not addressed. I asked if they could provide me the funds to cover my fees and I was told the only thing they can offer is to refund the payment. This was a BIG error on their part, and I do not feel they attempted to assist me with all possible options. They were able to offer and credit my account {$40.00} to set up the auto pay but they could not push out my payment and offer a credit in the amount of my fees from my financial institution. Below are the dates and summary of the events : XX/XX/21 approx. XXXX : Spoke with a representative to confirm my payment would not be withdrawn twice. The representative stated that if I made a payment that day I would be in the clear and an additional payment would not be withdrawn. As a matter of fact, she offered to take the payment, so I made the payment by phone with her. 

XX/XX/21 : I checked to see if the payment was withdrawn. It was not so I checked the Discover account online. I saw the payment pending along with my automatic payment, so I contacted Discover again via chat. 

XX/XX/21 @ XXXX : Spoke with representative via chat and he also confirmed my payment would only go through once. 

XX/XX/21 @ XXXX : I reached out again to advise the payment is being withdrawn twice and I need to stop it while it was pending on my account. She advised me that it could not be stopped, and she could only issue a refund once it's posted which could take up to 7 days. 

This last chat went on for about an hour but to sum it up, even though it was an error on their part, they were only able to provide me with the option of a refund after, the damage was done, and the payment was withdrawn twice. Even after I provided and asked for other options, not to mention calling beforehand to prevent this.
