Complaint narrative:
Im not sure this is an issue you can help with or if it is too late. We banked with Wells Fargo in 2013. We were always charged fees that made no sense and never received an actual resolution. We werent allowed to access our funds at times. We were always told that it was in our best interest to keep our account numbers up. Not even sure what that meant. We left Wells Fargo when it seemed we were losing money to the bank. It was out of control. I was recently told to reach out to you with this information. Thank you for your time.

Company: Greenberg, Grant & Richards Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX, Texas, based debt collection company ( hereinafter " GGR '' ), and their representative/employee, XXXX XXXX XXXX have engaged in a consistent and repeated effort to collect on a claim against me for which I do not owe, and they have direct means of collection. More specifically, GGR 's client claimed to have inadvertently paid my property taxes on a property I own. GGR claims this payment was made as a result of a scrivener 's error. To date, GGR has made absolutely no effort to correct this improper payment from the County Treasurer and allocate the payment to the proper parcel. I contacted the County Treasurer, who confirmed that no requests for reimbursement were made. I confirmed that the Treasurer will immediately issue a refund on account of mistake if asked. I advised the Treasurer that I have no objection to the issuance of a refund on the account if asked. I submitted to GGR and XXXX XXXX a written statement attesting that I had no objection to their refund. I then asked GGR to cease all further communications with me during business hours, as my employment has suffered from the repeated efforts at collection. GGR refuses to seek reimbursement, demands I pay them funds directly without providing any assurances that it will not then simply obtain a refund of the funds from the Treasurer, resulting in double payment to GGR and me being liable for a double payment. GGR continues to call my work number during work hours, and did so on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and I anticipate it will continue calling weekly. GGR has threatened me with legal action and the filing fo a lawsuit on equitable grounds despite its client possessing a readily available legal remedy. XXXX XXXX was flippant about my above concerns, demeaning and unprofessional during my telephone conversation with him.

Company: WLCC
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Apex Servicing aka Valley Servicing continues to email the same email message to our business email ( XXXX ), call us repeatedly on our business phone line ( XXXX ), and send fax letters of the same email message content to our fax line ( XXXX ) with demands related to employee payroll deductions. We understand they wish to arrange a remittance to them of debt owed by an employee through employee payroll deductions. When speaking with their representative on the phone, they did not indicate the specific employee name their demand was associated with. We are not aware of current employees ( we have less than 10 employees ) that owe any debt to a debt collector. We have not received a court order regarding any employee payroll deductions. 

Upon searching Apex Servicing on XXXX, we discovered that the State of Washington Washington State Department of Financial Institutions ( DFI ) received information that an entity using the name Apex Servicing has sent faxes to employers attempting to garnish wages from employee paychecks for alleged loans owed. The alert notice states " Apex Servicing is not licensed as a collection agency by the Washington State Department of Licensing ( DOL ). Apex Servicing is not registered to conduct business in Washington State by the DFI, the Department of Revenue, or the Secretary of State. '' ( Reference attachment of alert notice dated XX/XX/ ). 

A search of Apex Servicing aka Valley Servicing on the State of Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing Division did not show any results of licenses for the named company either. 

We believe Apex Servicing aka Valley Servicing is a false actor and impersonator, that is attempting to obtain money without cause from our business through false debt and false wage garnishments using employee payroll deductions as a reason to collect from our business.
