Consumer Complaint: Man by the name of XXXX continues to call family members about a debt that is not valid. He continues to leave threatening voicemails on my family members as well as my cell phone stating " This is a very serious matter '', " I must call him back ASAP ''. I once spoke to him and he stated that " before this gets out of hand, you and your father need to make a decision about paying this ''. He would not stop trying to " sell me a deal '' with some outrageous requests such as taking loans out so I could pay him before I ruin my fathers credit.

Consumer Complaint: Man by the name of " XXXX '' continously calls me. I spoke with him once where he tried to get me to settle a debt from a school loan that was through Key Bank NA. He used tactics such as illegally trying to persuade me that he was speaking to Key Bank as he was speaking to me and was making offers which were absolutely bogus. How could he keep getting different settlement prices when he was speaking on the phone to only me? This XXXX guy continued to tell me to " go get loan with a co-signer and pay him '' which is not logical. After he saw I was not budging, he continued to try and set up a monthly payment plan which I was not interested in either. XXXX also called my parents house phone and spoke to my father. He does not understand the word " no '' and " stop calling ''. He leaves me voicemails stating that " This is a very serious matter '' and " This is a debt that needs to be taken care right away ''. I feel very threatened and annoyed by this man and this companies scam tactics.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX. and I am an XXXX american ( XXXX ) male entrepreneur that self started a limited liability company in XXXX New York in XX/XX/2015. After starting the business I opened a business line of credit through the XXXX. branch at First Niagra bank which was recently sold to Key bank. The business line of credit was established for {$20000.00}. I was excited and pleased with this even though my request was for {$50000.00}. As a result, I referred one of my friends who happens to be a non-black. He has about the same credit score and income as me. I know that economically we are almost identical because I helped him to improve and understand his credit. We work at the same job and I showed him how to establish an LLC. He was approved for {$50000.00} as a start up and showed no income whatsoever. On XX/XX/XXXX I met with the branch manager to request an increase on my line of credit. My credit score was XXXX Fico. I had established about {$15000.00} in annual business revenue, {$65000.00} in personal income and my wife makes between $ XXXX annually. I was told that the decision is primarily based on credit score and that the decision would take no longer than two business days. I had not received a response by the following wednesday so I called in for a status update around noon. I was told that the branch manager would follow up with me the same day it did not happen. The following day I called in again and was told the same thing. I even sent an email. By Friday I had not heard anything so I called in just before the bank closed. I was put on hold for an absurd amount of time, almost XXXX hour before being told that I was denied because of my income. I felt like I was treated poorly from a customer service standpoint. I was put on the back burner when I have been a customer of the bank for over a year. In addition to being treated poorly, I also felt that something else was going on. I have an XXXX, I am no fool. How could my non-black friend receive $ XXXX with no business income and the same credentials as me. I feel as though I am the victim of lending discrimination. That is the only reason that I can come up with. We are virtually identical on paper. The only difference is the XXXX of our skin.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I came home to find two individuals who had broken a lock and entered my home without permission and were letting the water out of the hot water tank. He explained that he had a work order to do this work - of which I have a copy - but had no court order, understandably, because the house is not in foreclosure, only delinquent in mortgage payments. I told him I was calling the police, and he, to his credit, waited for the police officer to arrive. The contractor gave me his address and phone contact information when requested and on the work order was the contact information for the company that had contracted him to secure the premises, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. On the work order was a contact name for XXXX, XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I called this number and a man answered who said XXXX had stepped out - it was approximately XXXX - and he transferred me to another woman. I asked her why her company had contracted with a local contractor to enter the property without a court order, told her she had no legal authority to do so and told her that I had just called the police, and she hung up. At that point the police officer arrived, and I gave my statement ; he then went outside with the contractor to obtain his statement. He oversaw the re-installation of the new lock and door knob, since the original had been destroyed, and the clean up to a reasonable level of cleanliness and water removal of the mess the two had made around the water heater. The police officer explained that he did not believe the contractor believed what he was doing was illegal and trespassing is a crime of intent, so he would not be charging the contractor with a crime, but he told me I might want to contact the State Attorney General because it is very interested when corporations or financial institutions violate the law, but that the local police had no interest in pursuing the case further. When outside in the driveway before he left, I told the XXXX, XXXX XXXX, that in the future, at this home or any other in XXXX State, you need to demand a court order showing you have the authority to enter a house before you may break into it. I also told him the bank has all my contact information and all you need to do is contact me, and if I deem it appropriate, I 'll let you in voluntarily.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2017, I called KeyBank and made a XXXX payment. ( payment cleared XX/XX/2017 ) I was told by the KeyBank representative when taking my bank information this payment would bring my account current and I would be due for the XX/XX/2017 payment. ( Recorded phone call will confirm this ) I then made arrangement with KeyBank for the XX/XX/2017 payment. On XX/XX/2017 I receive a certified " Notice of Default and Intention to Accelerate '' dated XX/XX/2017 from KeyBank 's attorney XXXX. The reinstatment amount in the letter was XXXX as of XX/XX/2017. ( Recall that Keybank accepted my XXXX payment on XX/XX/2017 and told me I was current. ) I also noticed my login with KeyBank has been " locked '' due for Security reasons. On XX/XX/2017 I called KeyBank and spoke with XXXX in the Real Estate / Collections department. I explained to him that I was current and confused on why I received a certified threatening letter from XXXX XXXX. I also told XXXX I was calling to make the XX/XX/2017 as pre-arranged. He told me the XX/XX/2017 payment ( XXXX ) has not been applied to my account ( just sitting there ). XXXX then stated, the KeyBank Representative that I spoke with on XX/XX/XXXX who also took my XXXX payment to bring my account current told me everything wrong. She lied he indicated. XXXX now told me I had to call attorney office of XXXX and request a reinstatment letter. XXXX futher went on to say that I had to pay with certified funds only. This is really unsettling considering the Notice of Default that I just received makes no indication of this " certified funds '' request or has any KeyBank employee ever told me I had to pay with " certified funds. '' I went on to explain to XXXX that my funds cleared my bank on XX/XX/2017 and the XXXX payment was good and thus, " certified ''. Again, I explained to XXXX I was not delinquent. XXXX then went on to say KeyBank will be mailing my XXXX back in the mail. XXXX appeared to have no clue on the status of the payment and a check being mailed. I am not sure why Key Bank is treating me like this. I paid the account current, Keybank took and accepted the payment on XX/XX/2017. I never heard from XXXX after the XX/XX/2017 payment was accepted until I unexpectedly received the " Notice of Default '' dated XX/XX/2017. I have always told Keybank I am keeping the house, I live in the house and I want to work with them. I also mailed a Modification packet to Keybank at the end of last year and now Key Bank has told me they have no proof of receipt. Also, during my phone call with XXXX XXXX he started to get an upset, loud and then he hung up on me during the conversation. ( recorded conversation will confirm ) I called right back.

Consumer Complaint: I did not receive a XXXX form for a savings account from Key Bank. I contacted the banks website and received a reply telling me that they had sent XXXX for one of my accounts ( true, I have that ) but had NOT sent the XXXX for my other account. They advised me to go to my local bank to request a duplicate. I went to my local branch XX/XX/2017 to request a duplicate. The bank manager stated that he could not give me a duplicate because Key Bank was behind schedule had not yet made XXXX forms for many accounts including mine.

Consumer Complaint: Key Bank never sent me a copy of my XXXX for my mortgage through them. Key Bank recently purchased First Niagara Bank, whom I initially applied for my mortgage through. I emailed Key Bank, and have called them twice, asking for them to please forward me a copy of my documents so I could file my taxes. So far, and it 's been well over a month, I still have n't received the forms.

Consumer Complaint: I contacted a representative of Key Bank about a mortgage. The very first thing I told her was that I had a lot of student loan debt and asked if the program would work for me. She said yes. I then told her that I had already had my credit run a few times and we needed to wait for my report to show the correct payments on my student loans. She said I can check XXXX and monitor it for the correct payments, then let her know so she could run my credit. I did this, then emailed her that XXXX did not show the correct payments yet and we should wait. She then said that she had already run my credit report. Not only did I not authorize this, but I explicitly stated I did not want to run it yet. Because of this, I have too many inquiries on my record and my score has dropped XXXX points in at least XXXX of the agencies. This is a measurable difference of over $ 100/month on my mortgage payment, a serious financial damage. This inquiry must be removed from my record.

Consumer Complaint: I was given a business check by a person who was supposed to buy an item from me. The bank cleared and cashed the check the following day ( I trusted the bank to know if the check was good or hold it if there was any uncertainty ). I deposited the check on friday XXXX/XXXX/2017 and the cash was available on XXXX/XXXX/2017. I assumed their was no problem with the check and procceeded to follow instruction of the buyer of this item. I then money grammed the remaining balance after taking out for my item to the person who was supposed to come pick the item up. Everything was fine on my account with {$60.00} something dollars in it to use cautiously because I am a XXXX single mom and need to use every dollar carefully. Around XXXX on monday XXXX/XXXX/2017 I received a decline on my card for a less than price that I knew was in my account. I immediately got in my vehicle and checked my account. It was XXXX! I called the bank immediately and asked them what is happening. The person I spoke to was very rude, I asked if I could speak to someone who understands whats happening and if they were available and I was told " I just told you what to do, I do n't see any reason for you to speak to the branch manager! '' I told her I need to and can you please have her call me. The following day the branch manager was as equally rude explaining only that I am responsible for that balance and that I need to wait until the XXXX and there 's nothing I can do. They said Im not allowed to shut my account down to prevent further fraud. They are expecting my direct deposits ( only income source for the month to support my daughter and I ) this month to go towards their lost balance. I asked about opening a different account and basically the rude first person and her branch manager were standing there in front of me with their arms crossed. I made other calls and have been to the police, fbi and banks. Meanwhile before the check is even deemed fraud on the XXXX they have taken out about six or more and continuing overdraft fees of {$38.00} all circling around this deposit. This is a very upsetting event for me all the way around. I 've had to put my life on hold since the day I trusted the bank to be more knowledgable and helpful in an event. I did n't think for a second the bank would cash something that even has the possibility of being suspicious and trusted them to carry through accordingly. The poor attitudes and unwillingness to help from the staff and even branch manager are very hurtful on top of a crises. After this is settled and they rack up more than their share of my and my daughters living I will never do business with them again!
