Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I needed to wire funds for a mortgage closing and the bank refused to do a wire over the phone, even though I offered to sign whatever forms and fax in whatever verification they required. I do not have access to a branch because I have moved and there is no US Bank in Florida. The US Bank website says you can do immediate or next day transfers which would also help because I could transfer to a FL bank and then wire, but when I went to do that instead it would n't let me because I was above the transfer limit. I am unable to access my own money via wire and it may result in me loosing my home. This is unacceptable!

Complaint narrative:
I opened an business account with US Bank. It is a debit card, so I thought I would not be allowed to overdraw money. But it does allow overdraft, and then charge {$36.00} for each purchase over {$15.00}. So within a week, I was charged XXXX {$36.00} penalty fees and an extra {$25.00} extended overdraft fee, altogether {$160.00}, on XXXX purchases totaling {$160.00}. They waived XXXX penalty fees of {$51.00}, but still, is n't this robbery?

On XXXX XXXX at XXXX I deposited a cashier 's check for {$28000.00} into a US Bank joint checking account with my name and my wife 's made out to my wife from a trust in her name. She endorsed the check. Our intent was to transfer a portion to our other checking account for which we had checks to pay our flooring contractor. Our funds were not made available until XXXX XXXX. I wrote a check XXXX XXXX and it was returned as an overdraft on XXXX XXXX. We have been customers for years and our accounts were established more than 6 years ago. I requested my local branch to credit my account the over draft fees and they asked me to call the branch at which we initially established the accounts.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2015 we submitted a request for short sale to US Bank for retired clients that could not afford to continue living in a property in XXXX, VA. Since then we have received numerous calls for documentation which has caused us to have to submit documents over and over while US Bank sat on the file. In XXXX I received a call from the mortgage single point of contact stating the documents are all in and the file will go to the negotiator so we can get a decision on the application. Just last week the home sellers received a letter stating that US Bank needs all new documents since the current ones on fie have expired. This is ridiculous since the employees at US Bank explained that they are having implementing the process for handling distressed properties. It seems this process will continue in perpetuity. We need assistance getting this file to completion

Complaint narrative:
I received a XXXX day late notice on my credit that was reported by US Bank. I disputed with XXXX and XXXX but was told the credit was validated. I was sent to collections for a balance of {$2.00} from an overdraft protection charge from my reserve line credit account. First of all I paid my reserve line in full in XXXX of XXXX and requested it to be closed. I was then charged a {$5.00} overdraft protection fee in XXXX XXXX. Based on their Deposit Account Agreement I had the option to authorize an " opt in '' from my reserve line for overdraft protection but never approved or authorized US Bank to draft from my reserve line for my checking account. The {$5.00} fee was taken from my reserve line and applied as an overdraft fee for my checking account. I included all documentation to show the transactions. I never received any calls of the fee nor emailed or mailed statements. US Bank took the fee out of my account without authorization and ended up crediting back my account the balance and late fees in XXXX of XXXX ... XXXX years since I requested it to be closed. US Bank is also unwilling to correct my credit score as they said the XXXX notice ws valid ... they did remove the XXXX day notice. US Bank has been unwilling to work with me to get this corrected and I feel they reported incorrect info to the credit agencies even after I pointed out their error. Their intentional deception of credit reporting has damaged my credit history and thus would not allow me to qualify for a home loan. I was also told that US Bank could have provided a coutesy removal of late notices but did not contact them in time ... US Bank is deceptive in the credit practices and has taken steps to harm me since this was reported to the CFPB. I also contacted the president of US Bank but XXXX XXXX was unwilling to protect the customer and is willing to allow his company to conduct deceptive and harmful collection and credit practices.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I initially filed a complaint ( Case No. XXXX ) on XXXX XXXX, 2016, after US Bank denied my request to modify my student loan because I could not afford the payments. After this complaint was filed, US Bank provided me with the opportunity to defer payments for two months so I would have time to submit another modification request. My original request was denied because US Bank determined ( using a formula that has never been explained to me ) that the debt I owe is not a large enough portion of my overall debt. I explained my monthly income would go down ( by {$1100.00} ) because I had a teaching contract that was not renewed - XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), a collections manager, assured me at that time he would personally review the new application ( to be submitted once I had pay stubs confirming the reduction ) and that he was " sure US Bank could find a way to make it work. '' On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I mailed the updated application and supporting documentation to US Bank, and the tracking information confirms it was received by US Bank on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I had not had a response from US Bank as of XXXX XXXX, so I called and left a message for XXXX XXXX asking him to call me back with an update. He had not called back by XXXX XXXX, so I called and left another message. On XXXX XXXX, I received notification from US Bank in the mail ( attached ; dated XXXX XXXX ) that now my loan can not be modified because I make too little ( " debt-to-income and/or payment-to-income ratios indicate a payment amount that is not affordable and/or not sustainable despite applying maximum modification terms '' ). So, two months ago I made too MUCH to qualify for a loan modification ( despite not being able to afford the monthly payments ) and now I make too LITTLE to qualify for a loan modification. I immediately called XXXX XXXX and left another message, indicating I 'd received the letter and would need to speak to either he or his supervisor so I could get a detailed explanation on how this determination about my loan modification had been made. I also informed him I would be filing another complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I would LOVE to know how much my income needs to be in order for US Bank to determine I will qualify for a loan modification. The bottom line is that if I could not afford the monthly payments when my income was {$1100.00} more than it is now, I do not know how US Bank expects I can afford the monthly payments now. US Bank has not offered another solution to me or been willing to work with me at all. My credit has taken a huge hit because of problems with US Bank - something I made very clear to XXXX XXXX during our XX/XX/XXXX phone conversation - and I am trying to prevent things from getting worse.

Complaint narrative:
I have a Fidelity XXXX XXXX credit card which was changed to Fidelity VISA with Elan Financial Services. The Fidelity interface automatically takes you into your credit card where you can see transactions, pay bills, etc. I set up an automatic payment for the entire balance. Some weeks later, it stated the payment had not been set up. I went back into see what was going on, and experienced problems with the interface. I set up the payment again as it did not show my automatic payment set up weeks earlier. Subsequently, my credit card was charged twice and then I was assessed a {$25.00} fee by Elan and my bank when the second payment bounced. I attempted to resolve the matter but the bank will not credit the fee and I am left with charges for something that was not caused by me. Elan made all kinds of excuses and claimed it was my fault, even though they acknowledge that there website does n't show prepayments ( Fidelity 's interface does ). So, all new customers are left hanging, and with messages like the one I received indicating no payment has been set up when it was, and then leaving the customer thinking it must be set up again. Elan also failed to transfer payments set up on the old card XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but transferred the balances to the new card. So, payments were made to the old XXXX XXXX card ( for balances incurred on that card ), but the balance had been moved to the new card, so the money was taken but not applied to the right card. In short, this organization ca n't find its XXXX for its yin yang and consumers are being penalized for the mismanagement of money.

Complaint narrative:
I bought a {$300.00} US Bank prepaid gift card as a wedding gift for a family friend. To our chagrin, they reported to us that when they tried to use it, most of the funds had been used, and the card was frozen. 

After calling US Bank, they decided to investigate the case, and was told to wait. I made several phone calls in the future, and was just told that the case was still being investigated. Eventually, we were asked to fax in necessary materials, including the credit card, the sales receipt, and my information. I was told that the fax would go directly to a supervisor and we would hear back within the next business day, but I never heard back again.

Complaint narrative:
I make my monthly mortgage payments to U.S. Bank Home Mortgage, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX. I make efforts to pay my mortgage in time and also be up-to-date with my payments. My regular mortgage payment is {$1300.00}. 

I received from U.S. Bank Home Mortgage the attached Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement claiming that my escrow account is in shortage of {$1200.00}. The attached ESCROW SHORTAGE COUPON from the bank states that if I elect to pay the entire shortage amount, my new monthly payment will be {$1400.00}, effective XXXX/XXXX/15, based on an Anticipated Annual Disbursement. 

I then contacted the Customer Services of U.S. Bank to be clarified on the content of the Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement. I was then informed that my property tax was increased by the County that was why there is a shortage in my escrow account. I then made multiple calls to The XXXX to confirm if my property tax was increased. Each of the officers that I spoke with reported that there has been no increase in my property tax. 

Based on my findings, I responded to U.S. Bank with a letter titled, RE : Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement. I stated in the letter that XXXX reported that there has been no increase in my property tax. The letter is attached. 

U.S. Bank responded with a letter titled, Re : Loan Number XXXX, and insisted that I pay {$1500.00} as my new mortgage. The letter is also attached. The bank followed up with phone calls insisting that I make the new mortgage payment. 

The tax details of the property in question is attached as Real and Personal Property Tax for XXXX XXXX, MD. 

When I checked my credit report from XXXX, under Mortgage, it is reported that my Monthly Payment Amount is {$1500.00} instead of {$1300.00}. I have mailed checks of {$1300.00} each month to the present month of XXXX. The checks were successfully cashed by U.S. Bank, but my credit report states that the date of my last mortgage payment is XX/XX/2015. This can potentially hurt my credit score. 

I contacted an Attorney to help address this issue, and after reviewing all relevant documents, a letter was sent to U.S. Bank Home Mortgage from the Law Offices of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The Law office advised U.S. Bank that my property tax was not increased as claimed by the bank. The letter from the Law Office is attached. 

In addition, the Attorney advised that I bring this issue to the attention of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) ; and I humbly seek your help to address this issue, which will potentially protect me and many other innocent consumers from certain practices. 

I respectfully thank you for your time.

Company: U.S. BANCORP

Complaint narrative:
I used my debit/check card for a purchase at XXXX 's XXXX XXXX. There were insufficient funds to cover the purchase but the purchased was approved. I had previously chosen to not have a purchase approved if funds were insufficient when the same thing happened a couple of years ago. I chose to have the purchase refused. My bank is USBank. After noticing the overdraft charge in the transactions listing from the online banking site, I called USBank and they said that it was linked to my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. I stated that I specifically chose not to allow charges to be approved if my checking balance was insufficient. I also stated that an no time did I change my account to use the XXXX XXXX XXXX as a source to cover any overages. USBank charges {$12.00} to cover the purchase with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. This also means that since I have used funds from my XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am now being charged interest on the amount from the XXXX XXXX XXXX and need to make monthly payments to the XXXX XXXX XXXX until the balance of used funds is {$0.00}. To be clear, I never chose to link the XXXX XXXX XXXX to my checking account to cover purchases made on insufficient funds. Those purchased were supposed to refused per my request. These changes were made without my knowledge. Further, I can not choose to delete the XXXX XXXX XXXX from overdraft coverage from the website. I must call the XXXX number of visit the local branch to remove it from overdraft protection coverage. My local branch is located in XXXX XXXX, CA, XXXX. The clerk states that the only purpose of the XXXX XXXX XXXX is to cover overdrafts on my checking account and that in order to have my purchases refused due to insufficient funds, I will have to close the XXXX XXXX XXXX. USBank uses XXXX different terms regarding overdrafts. Overdraft Coverage and Overdraft Protection. The automated phone system says my current account does NOT have Overdraft Coverage. However, my monthly statement has a small section, easily overlooked, that states my account has Overdraft Protection linked to my XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe this is an intentional tactic to confuse customers into incurring unintended bank charges. The USBank representatives told me that I should not be confused by their different policies and terms even though both representatives had to consult with managers and other bank employees in order to explain the difference between the terms and policies. Lastly, the representatives claimed that the XXXX XXXX XXXX was part of my checking account and could therefore be used to cover a purchase not possible with the checking account. When I asked, " if they are linked, then why was the purchase considered an overdraft? ", they claimed that the XXXX XXXX XXXX was NOT linked for that purpose.
