Issue: Opening an account
Subissue: Account opened as a result of fraud
Consumer Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. I have previously disputed these accounts opened in my name without my authorization. I have previously supplied Regions Bank through the CFPB website a copy of my lease showing that I did not live at the address used to open these accounts. These accounts were opened online due to fraud. Regions requested I send in a copy of the FTC Fraud Affidavit I have on file. I have attached a copy of that as well as correspondence between other financial institutions that have researched this identity theft and found it to be valid. I encourage Regions to reach out to the other banks to verify their investigations found I was not liable for these accounts as they were not opened by me.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: I had been a customer of XXXX XXXX and on XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received a welcome letter from XXXX XXXX as my loan was service transferred. I had been current on my payments with XXXX XXXX. When I found out about the service transfer, I called Regions bank to make a payment ; however, the representative stated that my loan had not boarded their system and that I would need to wait until I received a welcome letter. They also reassured me that I would not get charged any late fees. I would also informed not to make payments to my prior service ( XXXX ). Thus, I stopped my automatic monthly auto drafts to XXXX as I was going to setup automatic auto draft payments to Regions once the loan was boarded into their system. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received my first billing statement from Regions. The billing statement showed amounts owed for two payments ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ). However, they also are charging me a NSF fee for {$30.00}, and there is no explanation for this fee. The {$30.00} fee makes no sense as my loan was transferred and I was not able to make payment arrangements to Regions. This is a poor way to welcome a new customer and is a deceiving practice and does not sound legally right. Please help in this matter. thanks XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: OVERVIEW : I am a former home equity line of credit ( HELOC ) customer of Regions Bank. I have satisfied the HELOC in full on XX/XX/XXXX and Regions Bank confirmed this via their attorneys XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, as well as by refunding me overpayment check but Regions has yet to satisfy/release the mortgage they put on my home preventing me from refinancing my home at another bank. It has been four months and Ive tried to contact Regions multiple times but keep getting the run-around and cant even get them to call me back/write me back/assist in this matter at all! Background & Details : I first obtained a HELOC from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$300000.00} with my wife on XX/XX/XXXX and they subsequently recorded a mortgage against my home in the same amount ( ATTACHMENT 1 ). In the years since, this HELOC has been extended several times and sold/transferred to several different banks until finally landing at Regions Bank. I was discussing renewing this HELOC with Regions Bank loan officer when I received via mail ( ATTACHMENT 2 ) on XX/XX/XXXX that the loan was due/past maturity and Regions was calling my loan due for total outstanding amount. After discussing with their law firm XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I decided to pay Regions back in full and made full payment amount of {$300000.00} ( ATTACHMENT 3 ) on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. sent me confirmation ( ATTACHMENT 4 ) that they had received the payoff and that their legal file was closed out due to the pay off of the loan. They subsequently informed me via telephone that Regions Bank would satisfy my mortgage and remove it from title of my property. Regions then sent me via mail a cashiers check for {$98.00} ( ATTACHMENT 5 ) stating OVERPAYMENT OF LOAN on XX/XX/XXXX signaling their receipt and closing out of the loan. Please note that the loan number on original notice of payment from Regions, wire confirmation from my Bank, confirmation letter from law firm & overpayment check from Regions all match as same. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have made no less than 10 calls to Regions Bank asking for them to release their mortgage on my property so I can refinance my home but each call has failed and they can not even refer me to their loan satisfaction department. Any assistance you can give me to resolve this situation with Regions Bank would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

Consumer Complaint: We have a small line of credit with Regions Bank, around {$7000.00}, and received a letter with second and final notice to provide insurance information on our home after changing insurance companies. We mailed the requested information after the first letter was received. We 've asked now a second time for XXXX XXXX to send information directly to Regions. Because a potential {$2100.00} extra is to be billed to us on insurance from Regions, we are contacting CFPB asking if you could help us with communication. Also, when we took out the line of credit, it was not made clear to us that our home was being attached. We signed documents that we were told were based on our personal credit ratings as a personal loan. We remember this as we were told the rate we had to pay the bank was a little higher than the best rate based on our credit scores.

Issue: Trouble using your card
Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases
Consumer Complaint: I made a credit card payment on XXXX XXXX, 2017 to my Regions Bank Credit card. The payment is being held indefinitely, and no one at Regions can give me a clear answer as to why and how long the hold will last. The account is about 3 months old, and I have never had a payment returned. Moreover, the payment was for {$5000.00} and the total credit line available is {$15000.00}. So, I do n't understand why the entire account is unusable while the payment is on hold. Obviously, the payment cleared from the XXXX XXXX XXXX account a long while back.

XXXX XXXX To whom it concerns i recently pulled my credit report and noticed fraudulent errors dealing with the company 's listed above. I 've contacted these company 's by phone email and mailing certified letters. I have n't received any documents, phone calls nor emails from the banks, credit bureaus and The XXXX . It has been over a period of five years since XXXX /2012 and current. I 've asked the company 's to send verifiable documents of any signatures pertaining to me but i still have n't received any documents back yet. I have not been able to open an account in over 5 years and have n't open any accounts because of this fraudulent error where my identity was used to open the accounts listed above without my consent. Identity theft is one of the biggest crimes and it 's an ongoing crime that i have no control over. During this period i also lost my wallet that had my license, social security card, birth certificate and more. This is been an uncomfortable situation that i had to deal with for a very long time and its affected my life. It 's difficult to work a job and get paid where i can not put my money in the bank because someone used my identity to open several bank accounts under my name.

I called and was told money can not be drafted from primary account to cover secondary account.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: I successfully qualified for a HELOC loan from Regions Bank. During the loan process I was quoted rates for their Loan in a Line program verbally. At the time they were : 1. 3 year 3.375 % 2. 5 year 3.625 % 3. 7 year 3.625 % 4. 10 year 4.125 % When I went to closing on the HELOC loan the contract read rates much differently : 1. 3 year 5.65 % 2. 5 year 6.05 % 3. 7 year 6.75 % 4. 10 year 7.45 % I questioned the rates and were told these were n't the rates and they called the bank to get the current rates, which were the same as the lower rates listed at the top. I said that the contract did n't reflect those rates. I was told that once the funds were disbursed ( if I closed ) the rates would be the verbal rates. I told them I did n't think they were lying, but the contract did n't reflect what they were telling me. They asked if I would close if they could get a letter specifying the verbal rates were good for 30 days. I said yes. The next day the bank refused to put the verbal rates into writing and thus I did n't close on the loan. I only had 7 days to try to come up with financing or lose my deposit I had on a piece of land ( {$19000.00} ). During the next week Regions called to tell me the verbal rates had gone down and asked if I wanted to close the loan. I told them not without the rates in writing. Due to their verbal rates not matching their contract, I was not able to close the loan and thus loss my {$19000.00} deposit.
