Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: My loan through USBANK requires flood insurance which is provided by my Homeowners Association. This year they are not accepting it and have purchased a flood policy with me as borrower and have added it to my mortgage payment. My HOA has tried numerous times as I have to get help on the phone and there is no agent qualified to help. I have had this loan since XXXX of XXXX and no late payments. All these years they have accepted by flood insurance. The first installment added is {$530.00} until I " catch up '' and they have the policy adding {$220.00} per month through XXXX of XXXX. When I called the agent was recommending to take mortgage assistance until this is resolved, but I do not need this product. I am hoping during COVID-19 they are not trying to pressure borrowers to get products not needed then adding things like insurance as a scare tactic to make more money. USBANK will not allow me to make my normal mortgage payment and if I do it will be considered late which will affect my credit score.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a credit card through XXXX, serviced by USBank. I was approved for the credit card, but it never came in the mail. Then I got a bill for charges made with the card. I filed a fraud claim for all charges on the card, considering I could not have made any purchases with the card because it never came. The initial claim was on XX/XX/2020. I was assured the charges would be removed from my account, and I also closed the account. Starting in XXXX, I have received weekly emails about past due bills on the card. I have called USBank weekly trying to get them to remove the charges. The charges still have not been removed despite my weekly calling USBank and them assuring me it would be taken care of. The amount I am being held responsible for is {$44.00}.

I Called your phone bank and they wanted to create new disputes without other option. The creation of new disputes would be a terrible things to force me to do. Why? Because the 60 days deadline showing in statements as requirement to dispute any transaction would be passed and automatically the results would be negative and would deepen the differences and cause me more harms. Without waiving my rights, PleaSe do the right thing to resolve the matters.until then more declines, more damages would be suffered by me from you. there are few more purchases made before XXXX XXXX from the same merchant who will attempt getting paid from my U.S Bank account when the order/s of purchase ready to ship to me. I either took or will take other legitimate actions to protect my rights following role of law. Also, please note that other files of facts supporting my claims are privileged and might be used by my person if necessary in any event. All stated herein is made to the best of my current states belief, knowledge and understanding and it is all subject to any Correction or change of any kind at any time and only by my person and/or my counsel if any and without waiving my rights.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I've sent the following message to U.S. Bank several times about a wire fraud committed almost a year ago and U.S. Bank has not cooperated with my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) in the investigation efforts. I've even been in touch with XXXX 's executive office to escalate this issue and XXXX persists that U.S. Bank has not responded or cooperated : I am contacting you in hopes of escalating my recall case to reclaim {$12000.00} made in a wire transfer, on XX/XX/2019, from my XXXX XXXX XXXX account to a fraudulent US Bank account. Unfortunately, the reason for the recall is that I've been a victim of a wire scam and possible identity theft. The details of the crime, involving the impersonation of the FBI and local police, are documented in the following ( and attached ) : Police report ( XXXX XXXX Police Department ) : Case # XXXX FBI ( ic3.gov ) : attached FTC : Report # XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau : Complaint # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Recall : Case # XXXX ) This is the fraudulent US Bank account information ( the wire transfer receipt is attached ) : Beneficiary Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Routing Number : XXXX In my recovery efforts, I contacted XXXX as well as US Bank on the same day of the wire transfer to stop the transfer while it was still pending. US Bank representatives would not speak to me in detail because I am not a customer but did inform me that the recipient account had already been flagged for fraudulent activity and added a note to freeze the wire transfer funds. XXXX opened a recall case ( Case # XXXX ) to reclaim the funds. US Bank responded to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX requesting a hold harmless letter, which XXXX is in the process of approving right now. XXXX informed me that after the hold harmless letter is sent to US Bank, I would have to wait 30-90 days for US Bank to make a decision on the recall. I trust the integrity of US Bank to not accept wire transfers to a fraudulent account that was already flagged. I hope you can help escalate the recovery of my funds ( {$12000.00} ) as soon as possible. I worry that the longer this process takes, the more time the criminal ( s ) have to move the funds. My case is currently under investigation by the XXXX XXXX Special Victims Unit and if XXXX and US Bank can not help resolve the issue, my next step is to take legal action.

Us bank asked us for research multiple times which we provided ( transaction id # account numbers names, everything ). Time and again they can't find the money they accepted, and can not help us. We have been making minimum payments since to avoid credit problems. If the account names and numbers don't match why would they accept it?!?!? Why are they dodging accountability?!?!?

Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer Complaint: I opened a credit card with Elan Financial in XX/XX/XXXX because of the advertised 2 % cash back on all purchases. Within weeks they cancelled it and refuse to pay the advertised 2 % cash back. They are presently in violation of civil code XXXX and they also failed and refused to send written notice of the cancellation. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) indicating that Elan Financial " believe that you have fallen victim to a credit card scam '' and thus the account has been closed to any further activity. That day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called and indicated that there was no fraud, I was not scammed, and I would like my account reactivated. They said it would be reviewed and I would be called with the result. I received no further contact on the issue. I did subsequently receive two things : A statement dated XXXX which I paid in full. A letter ( received XX/XX/XXXX ) indicating that I should call to activate my card. I called ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) and over the course of several torturous hours I was informed of the following : On XX/XX/XXXX the account was reviewed and based on the pattern of spending Elan Financial chose to cancel the account. That decision is final. Furthermore, cash back will not be paid on a closed account. They do not believe that they need to provide written notice of cancellation and they do not believe they have to honor their 2 % cash back offer. I pointed out that this violates California Civil Code - CIV 1747.85 which states : Unless requested by the cardholder, no card issuer shall cancel a credit card without having first given the cardholder 30 days ' written notice of its intention to do so Now, their original XX/XX/XXXX account suspension for fraud is consistent with XXXX. However! There was no fraud and the subsequent cancellation on XX/XX/XXXX for the pattern of spending is in violation of XXXX. Simply put : They have cancelled my card for nebulous and specious reasons which they refuse to put in writing. They will not even put the existence of the XX/XX/XXXX cancellation in writing. Finally, they refuse to pay the 2 % cash back that induced me to open the card in the first place. Their argument : Elan Financial can close the account immediately without written notice regardless of cause. As soon as the cancellation decision was made on XX/XX/XXXX, all unpaid cash back became null and void. My argument : They can not close my account until 30 days after written notice of the XX/XX/XXXX decision per XXXX. Within that 30 days, I may withdraw my cash back and that is what I am seeking. My 2 %. Note : Please distinguish between the XX/XX/XXXX suspension for fraud and the XX/XX/XXXX cancellation for pattern of spending. One is legal but irrelevant. The other is a gross violation of XXXX.
