Company: KINGS CREDIT SERVICES
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This account got sent to collection in XXXX of XXXX. Since then it has been moved to different debt XXXX. This last time it was moved to Kings Credit Services the amount has seemed to keep raising slowly. The debt collector says I know owe them {$520.00}. When I called them they told me this debt will continue to increase until the debt was paid indefinitely. I wanted to take care of the original amount that I owed, but i feel that this is not legal that they charge me interest on a medical bill. I told them that I am filing a complaint and they said its fine.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I sent a dispute letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, complaining about a wrong tax lien that was posted in my account. As of today, I still did not receive the results of the investigation and the negative item is still in my report. Transunion has been very unprofessional about this and they breaking FCRA laws " 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g '' and " 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ''. They insist that the item was verified without never doing any verification and they refuse to answer my questions about the method of verification used as required by 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i paragraph ( 7 ) and paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). They are breaking the law.  Especially now with the new laws that went into effect on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX specifically about tax liens and other civil judgments. I never had a tax lien with the state of Iowa.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Santander Consumer USA is reporting an open account with all three credit bureaus that is closed. This is hurting my credit score and I am unable to obtain a mortgage loan. This account was opened after I filed a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Board.
I feel this was retaliation. Retaliation is the action of harming someone because they have harmed oneself ; revenge.

Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I resided at XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX to XXXX of XXXX is when I moved to XXXX Texas. The property manager for this location at the time name was XXXX XXXX. 

According to the company 's move out policy I did everything in compliance with supporting documentation that I was supposed to do ( Gave my notice for moving, Removed items from the Townhomes, cleaned the unit ect ). The property manager had on site grounds keeper that did the walk around with me and took photos of the unit. The documentation was supposedly given to XXXX XXXX in spite of the fact she still kept my deposit that was owed to me and falsely reported that the unit was in a terrible condition when I moved out. I moved out on Friday the XXXX of XXXX XXXX and another family moved in on Monday XXXX the XXXX XXXX. I was not able to come back to Minnesota to contest the accusations because myself being a single mother and moving to another state was impossible task financially, the property manager was aware of this at that time. However, I have attempted to contact the company directly numerous of times and on different occasions to take care of this issue. I kept getting the run around by the staff of XXXX XXXX XXXX because I did n't know the proper steps file with the false claim that the property manager made and yet not a positive response. 
I 'm asking for a someone to please look into this matter regarding the false claim that the property manager made and please let me know what I need to do to take care of the situation.

Thanks, A Very Concerned Petitioner

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX World Elite XXXX through Barclay Bank. 

I discovered today my credit line on this account had been decreased from a limit of {$4000.00} to a limit of {$2300.00}. 

When I called Barclay to inquire why this happened, I was given the run-around, by an associate named XXXX, and told that my credit reports were " pulled '' and my " balance to ratio limits were high. '' I have no idea what the associate was referring to. However, I was recently notified by the major credit reporting agencies that my information may have been exposed on the Internet during the recent data breaches. As of today, I have no knowledge of anything negative or adverse on my credit reports as a results of the data breach or any other reason. 

XXXX was unable to help me, but told me I needed to contact XXXX XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX. The problem is, there is a recording when you call this number, which hangs up on you. 

Additionally, I find it appalling this company had the audacity to reduce my credit line. I have been a PERFECT customer to them! I have never missed a payment or made a late payment -- in fact, I usually make my payments early. 

I have excellent credit. I own my home " free and clear. '' I 'm a XXXX XXXX, I make well over {$200000.00} a year in salary, which I presume, more than qualifies me for the small credit line of {$4000.00} I was originally offered ... 

In any event, my relationship with Barclay has been flawless. There is absolutely no just cause for this decision and I feel it was completely arbitrary and unfair. I have been a great customer with a flawless payment history. I have done nothing which warranted this action against me. I feel my credit line should be increased, not lowered!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have several inquiries on my account that I do not recognize. I got an email yesterday stating there was a hard inquiry to my account from XXXX XXXX XXXX done for a credit limit increase. As a consumer it is already difficult reading through fine print and credit jargon that comes with credit. XXXX XXXX XXXX makes it difficult to identify if credit limit increases will result in a hard inquiry or not. XXXX XXXX XXXX is known to display promotional banners on their website for eligible credit limit increases to credit worthy candidates that abruptly appear. When I applied for a credit limit increase I thought that was the case, and they pulled my credit history without my knowledge. They need to provide more emphasis whether or not their products will need a hard or soft inquiry. More transparency is needed. The not so knowledgeable credit seekers are the real victims here to at times misleading credit card issuers. I read there was an inquiry issue with Transunion during that year, XXXX, it may or not be related. The XXXX breach was what made me check my credit history. I have found these inquires that I dont remember applying for.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am a freshman at XXXX College. I opened a student checking account with TD Bank because before I moved in, I spoke with a branch manager in the XXXX branch who told me his wife worked at the college and there was a TD ATM on campus. Not true. That means I pay {$3.00} every time I withdraw money. I try and get money when I buy items at the bookstore etc to avoid that fee but in my last statement, I noticed I got charged {$3.00} for a " Bal Inq Fee. '' I feel that this fee was not explained nor is it fair. I think they are taking advantage of me as a student and I want my money back for the fee ( and the {$1.00} paper statement fee too ), since I did not get told about that fee either. I am considering closing this account altogether since I feel that they misrepresented the ATM location too. I thought that banks were supposed to treat students fairly but that is not how it appears.
