Complaint: Compass bank must of altered their sign in webpage because of " years '' of being able to log in, i suddenly was unable to on or about XX/XX/XXXX. I spent a great deal of time trying to reset this and that according to their webpage. I found myself in a futile loop. I then called the number ( s ) and spent a great deal of time going through extensions, hanging up and recalling when i got to dead ends. I found myself in a futile loop. When i finally got a person on the line, i spent more unnecessary time with him. I followed all the instructions and again " we were in a loop ''.
The problem is that the security question page is faulty for the form field options of questions 2 and 3. See pic attached. The compass guy said he would get this fixed and contact me. But I have heard nothing.
I sent complaint to XXXX banking people and told me to contact the XXXX banking people. The XXXX banking people have not responded to my email. I made some more calls to Compass bank and i ultimately get " beeps '' and no sounds. I have to then hang up. I sent Compass bank an email using a previous email address i got from them regarding another complaint last year or so. But I got no response. I again tried to log in and then recall Compass, and i am getting nowhere and nothing. Compass bank has intentionally kept me away from reviewing and monitoring my account via online, for some reason.

Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Complaint: Hi, I went into a dealership to purchase a vehicle back in XX/XX/2017. The dealership asked to run my credit for approval. I asked that they only submit my report once to the most likely lender. The dealership shopped my credit to 3 other bank institutions without my approval. I want these inquiries removed. I did not realize they could be removed until now.

Struggling to pay your loan
Vehicle loan or lease: Loan
Denied request to lower payments
Complaint: Purchased a new vehicle and was financed through BBVA Compass in XX/XX/2015. Ran into a hardship a little bit after purchasing the vehicle. I was denied help for the longest due to it being a new loan. This loan has damaged my credit tremendously. I have almost close to {$1200.00} dollars in late fees which should be against the law. Just recently they did grant me an extension due to me owing the IRS.

Reporting company used your report improperly
Complaint: Over XXXX XXXX weekend, I traveled to a real estate class in Utah. Upon my return, I attempted to pay a {$30.00} airport parking charge and my BBVA Compass card was declined. Since it had a {$12000.00} credit limit on it and only about {$2000.00} worth of charges on it, I did not understand why. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted BBVA Compass who informed me that XXXX provided them with a notification that I was overextended. I'm not. As a result of XXXX XXXX information, BBVA Compass lowered my credit limit to {$2500.00} leaving me {$11.00} in available credit, which obviously can not pay for a {$30.00} airport parking charge. I invested in real estate training to better my life and now I'm getting chastised for it. I have never been late or contacted any type of credit repair agency to fix anything as there was nothing to be fixed. There still isn't. I am very angry over this unjustified action and I believe there has to be some type of law or something that can keep people like XXXX and/or BBVA Compass from destroying my life. The only equitable solution for me would to be reinstate the credit limit on this card. Anything else is an insult.

Billing problem
Complaint: Failure to provide ways to make auto payment. Site gives errors when payments are submitted. Bill pay payments undeliverable and always get hung up on Since day one of having this account i have had nothing but issues with BBVA. From website issues, payment solutions page always giving errors when making payments, being told to go online but then tells me my account is not found. I have incurred late payments due to this even when i try to pay on time!! I have been speaking with XXXX XXXX in regards to this and all proof was sent to him and he corrected a few lates and took payments manually for me. Everytime i call i get hung up on, told i will get a call back then no call back at all, left several voicemails for XXXX and no repsponse back. I was told to login to BBVA site create account and i can pay and view bill online. Once again says no account found, or system error when i use solutions page to pay. Issue not fixed when stated it was! Last i spoke to XXXX and he said he would look into this and get it fixed moving forward and have all lates removed from my credit due to this issue. Here were are again and now 60 days late because they wont take my payments, calls, hang up on me and site still not working and my bill pay via my bank comes back undeliverable as well! I received a call back and voicemail stating they were researching the issues to fix this for me and i called back and not one phone call back since!!! They blow up my phone in collections for manual calls but everytime i answer there nasty and rude and hang up on me, or wont get me to the person i ask for to resolve this and try to explain what has been going on and was told to speak with XXXX directly since he is handling this account for me. Then when i try to call and pay they don't answer, hang up on me, or no automated payment system to even pay with! I can't even trade car in now because of all the inaccurate late pays they reported which were all from their website and payment issues. I have found out as well others who have this company are experiencing the same issues.
I also uploaded a voicemail confirming they are researching the issues to get this resolved and fix my account and when they said for me to call back i did 2-3 times.. and not one call back or email to update me on anything. NOTHING WAS DONE!!

Account opened as a result of fraud
Complaint: Gentlemen : We were solicited to open a money market account with Compass Bank in XX/XX/2017.
We submitted the applications for myself and my wife. My wife 's account was opened. I received an email that I would receive a call from them as they needed further information. I called the bank and was told that I need to wait for them to call me.
No call was received and mysteriously I received an email that was account was approved and opened. I sent an email immediately asked them to close the account consider the application withdrawn as I was waiting for them to call me before they opened the account as I was told by them. I also informed them that they need to send the funds back to the external account if they had withdrawn them. They did not honor our request causing the account to be overdrawn incurring us a back charge at the external bank. We went back and forth for several weeks. Finally I was told that I would receive a letter in the mail. Still awaiting a response from them.
Below are several emails between the bank and us as to what has transpired.
XXXX XXXX is the local Branch Manager who came to our office soliciting more funds to be deposited with the bank. I explained as to what was happening with us. I offered to send transcripts of the emails. He accepted and later responded that he could not intervene or help us in resolving the matter.
We have not received any response in the mail to date as promised.

Struggling to pay your loan
Vehicle loan or lease: Loan
Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Complaint: I lost my job and had been unemployed for past 6 months. I recently found a new job and also am expecting a refund check in the mail for total amount of money I am behind. I called BBVA a week or so ago and informed them of the situation and that I was told my check should be arriving by XX/XX/XXXX. I told them I would pay full balance past due then. The lady I spoke to said that was okay.
Today, BEFORE XX/XX/XXXX, they are telling me they will put my car into repossession unless I pay them immediately and as I tried to tell them, I do not have money yet or check in hand! I asked them to wait until next week and they refused! THEY BROKE THEIR PROMISE TO ME.

Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Complaint: I recently opened a checking account with BBVA Compass. Originally I opted in for overdraft protection until I realized that the fees were being assessed though an overdraft was not processed. I spoke with a supervisor on XX/XX/XXXX and as he credited me a credit for over draft protection and I agreed to opt out of overdraft protection. On XX/XX/, I transferred {$35.00} to my checking account to cover a transaction that I was about to make. My transaction went through. I was charged a XXXX fee. When the funds were in my account. My account is a XXXX because I have been charged {$38.00} 3 times. 1 for my purchase on XX/XX/ and 2 additional of for XXXX and XXXX. If I would not have been charged {$110.00} ( 3 XXXXX ), I would have XXXX in my account. In addition, on XX/XX/XXXX I agreed to opt out of overdraft protection due to the fees. The representative advised that computer automatically assess the fees to the account. BBVA Compass need to fix their system. This is an unfair and deceptive act and practice.

Deposits and withdrawals
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, Compass Bank withdrew {$1400.00} from my savings account with no notice. When I contacted the bank the next day, I was informed that they were withdrawing the funds and returning them to the IRS because an IRS refund for my father, XXXX XXXX, was deposited into my account. The representative with the Fraud department at Compass Bank explained that because the name of the individual for whom the refund was for and the name on my bank account did not match. The representative also explained that someone from Compass should have reached out to me and provided me the opportunity to prove the refund did in fact belong to a family member. I was never provided this opportunity. The individual I spoke to on XX/XX/XXXX confirmed that no such attempt was made. When I asked if I could still provide the necessary documentation at a local bank and have my father verify he had in fact asked me to process the refund into my account, I was told the funds had already been returned to the IRS. The representative stated she had left a message for the investigator assigned to my account to contact me. No one ever contacted me.
My father has reached out to the IRS on multiple occasions in an attempt to locate his refund. On XX/XX/XXXXa representative at the IRS stated that the IRS had not received the funds from Compass Bank and that they would perform a trace to try to locate the funds.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Compass Bank again and spoke to XXXX in the Fraud Department. When I told her the IRS had stated they had not received the funds, XXXX explained that Compass had not returned the funds as they previously stated, but instead had been holding on to them until they could return all funds collected from all customer 's bank accounts at one time. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX initially stated the funds had not yet been returned to the IRS. She then amended her statement, explaining the funds have already been returned. At this point, I do not have any means to confirm the funds were returned to the IRS.
Both my father and I have spent an great deal of amount of time trying to track down his refund. If Compass would have reached out to me as they should have, I could have resolved this issue the same day. But, no one ever reached out to me. I have been lied to and my account has been grossly mishandled. I completely understand that Compass must comply with the IRS request, but they never afforded me the opportunity to resolve the situation as they should have. The IRS agent my father spoke to on XX/XX/XXXX stated that if we would have been able to clearly identify the refund and prove ownership and that it was not fraud, Compass Bank would not have needed to return the funds. They could have been released to me and/or my father.

Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Problem with fees
Complaint: BBVA Compass sent another statement that {$150.00} is due on account ending in XXXX. This matter was previously reported to CFPB and BBVA Compass sent word they were removing XXXX XXXX 's name from the card. XXXX 's name was removed, XXXX 's name is the only one listed, but it does not appear BBVA Compass has closed the account. We ask for your help to ensure the account is closed as previously requested over the years since XXXX 's passing.
The credit card company was contacted to let them know XXXX XXXX passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX did not own or have assets at his death in XX/XX/XXXX. The credit card company continued to send bills for XXXX 's card to XXXX XXXX, wife. The card was solely owned by XXXX XXXX, the card did not belong to XXXX XXXX. XXXX made payments based on the fact notices were sent demanding payment. XXXX has not been able to hear over the phone since she was in her early XXXX. She has used hearing aides since she was in her late XXXX. XXXX is now XXXX years old. XXXX had her daughter, power of attorney, contact the Compass Bank, holder of the credit card in XX/XX/XXXX to ask again that the card be cancelled, removed from XXXX 's name, and to terminate requests for payment as the card was not XXXX 's, but her husband 's XXXX. Rather than terminating as requested, BBVA Compass added XXXX 's name to the account without permission and then began unauthorized collection from XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX 's credit card.
Since XXXX 's passing, XXXX has made payments to BBVA Compass in excess of {$12000.00} on an original balance of {$9000.00} owed by her husband XXXX, but not owed by XXXX ( {$86.00} per month minimum payment ).
We ask CFPB to please help close the account so no further requests are received for payment from either XXXX XXXX ( XXXX years old ) or XXXX XXXX ( deceased XX/XX/XXXX ).
We understand often credit card companies come after family members to make payments in this manner after a person has died.
With penalties, interests, and fees that continue to be applied over the 12 years since XXXX XXXX passed, the noted remaining balance is {$3900.00} with request for payment by XX/XX/XXXX. However, the original balance due has long since been paid by XXXX XXXX on behalf of her deceased husband XXXX.
Please help us to understand if there is anything else needed to terminate the account, the card, and requests for payments.

Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from Compass Bank asking if I made purchase for {$560.00}. I said no, they replied that it was fraud and they would decline the charge. I noticed the charge was on my bill. I called and they said there was no report of this being fraud. I tried to set up an online account and there was already one set up with a password by someone else. I called again and they shut it down and filed the fraud complaint again. The charge was never removed so I called again. Once again they said the fraud was not registered. I went to the bank and spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX. She also said no fraud was registered and submitted one again while I was there and sent me a confirmation email on XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX the charge is still on my account.
