Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Please look at the XXXX Home Equity Line of Credit page. There are Transaction, Payments, Charges columns. When you make payments, there is no remaining balance column to see the payments applied. You have to wait until statement date or outstanding balance at the top of the page is updated which you don't when, but also since it doesn't show what it was before, you don't know if applied correctly unless you took note of what the balance was. When you have so many accounts, it is very difficult to follow or track if payment is being applied correctly. 

I am just asking CFPB to force XXXX XXXX to have one more column next to payments that shows remaining balance every we make payment. We want to see our payment history with each payment we make. If you make multiple payments in a month, it is very very difficult to track the balance without significant hassle. You just have to trust them to do the right thing or spend considerable amount of time reconciling your numbers. I have been with XXXX for almost a decade and they have never updated their website or app even once. Very shady and irritating institution.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Multiple occasions throughout the loan, when I have fallen behind, and the company has admittedly violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The company has called me up to XXXX times an hour, daily. The company has emailed me 3 times a hour daily. The company has disclosed my account status to a reference on my loan. When I called the company to complain, the supervisor listened to the call, agreed it was a violation and gave me a XXXX month extension to smooth things over ( I believe this was XX/XX/2022 ). Per the FDCPA, more than 7 calls a week can be considered intent to annoy or harass.

Company: Rickart Collection Systems, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am deeply frustrated and disappointed to find that XXXX has fraudulently referred my account to a collection agency. 

Imagine my surprise when I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX regarding an overdue final bill, despite the fact that I had moved into my home in XX/XX/XXXX. This was followed by a welcome letter dated XX/XX/XXXX with a new account number, adding to the confusion and causing significant inconvenience. 

It's important to note that I am still living in my home. I did not relocate, yet I am being treated as if I did.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been enrolled in autopay for my Sam 's Club MasterCard with Synchrony Bank, since inception of my membership. Synchrony Bank failed to make the autopayment for XX/XX/year> and subsequently charged interest to my account for the XXXX statement balance on XXXX for the amount of {$31.00}. Prior to the XXXX autopayment, to be processed XXXX, I contacted Synchrony Bank by phone on XXXX and was told by their agent that the interest fee had already been credited back to my account. However, it had not been and my autopayment on XXXX included this interest charge. It also is not included in pending transactions. 

Today, I attempted to use their online system, since calling customer service did not resolve the issue. After several attempts my message did not show in the sent messages folder. This has been a chronic issue with Synchrony Bank. I have made them aware of the issues with this app on numerous occasions, yet they have made no attempt to correct it. This complacency is unacceptable for any industry, but particularly disturbing when it involves a financial institution. 

On XXXX I attempted to use this card to pay for airline tickets and it was refused and my account was suspended. I called Synchrony and was told it was not their fault, but the airline told us different. XXXX XXXX requires 3rd party verification as a security precaution and Synchrony 's system is clearly not equipped to handle this. I subsequently used my XXXX XXXX card without issue. Additionally, they required me to verify all transactions that had occurred in the last several days before they would restore my account, These were all local transactions, made in my home town and were not questioned until the airline ticket incident. Synchrony Bank is a disaster.

Company: The CBE Group, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am not liable for the debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not have a contract with the CBE Group. They did not provide me with the original contract as requested. They have continuously evaded my requests and still reported to the credit bureaus that this debt is valid during my dispute requests without providing the original contact. Thus, this is a huge indication that they do not have the original contract, and are trying to use evasion and other loopholes to claim the debt is valid.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
somewhere around the XXXX of XXXX my account with XXXX  ; a popular crypto exchange was compromised and my payment information which was attatched to my crypto account was used to purchase crypto and then withdrawn to an external wallet under the control of the hacker. I filed a cryber crime report in connection with the matter and disputed the unauthorized transactions with chime. 

They denied my disputes, I have re-opened the dispute going on the third time now and they still will not budge. The charges were unauthorized. PERIOD. 

As a visa card issuer, chime is bound by the visa card issuer agreement with regards to unauthorized transactions and must also conform to regulation XXXX. 

In addition chime has what is called a XXXX XXXX XXXX and what this means is that account holders who report unauthorized charges within a certain time frame shall not be held liable for the unautorized charges. 

Chime seems to believe no error has occured when obviously due to the number of transactions, how close apart they take place, and the ammounts in question this is obviously fraud that has taken place. 

I will contact the media and escalate to legal action if chime does not reimburse me for the unauthorized charges in question.
