Bank of Marin

B of Joshua, TX November 9, 2009

Had a card SEcured through them many years ago. Closed the account and they sent me a bill on a secured card?? So Then I filed bankruptcy and they are STILL trying to collect on this. I called my lawyer. They are out of control. I didn't owe them anything. It was a secured card and I used it once ater I placed a deposit of 250 on it!

Several years ago (can't remember date) I received a credit card from Bank of Marin with a 300 credit limit I used the credit card a couple of times and paid the balance in full when I realized the interest and fees were too high. At that time I returned the credit card to Bank of Marin with full payment of balance due and told them I no longer wanted the credit card. To this date, they are still charging me interest and late charges and the balance due they say is over 1200. The credit card was returned over 5 years ago but they say I have to prove it. There is no way I can prove my case but I have not received a new credit card since I returned the original card so how can they keep charging me interest if an account no longer exists. At that time I was using my ex-wife's phone number as a call back number but since they have started calling regularly and harrassing her she has told them not to call anymore. When she told them not to call her number anymore they asked what I was doing at her house (Ihappened to be there at that time) and she told them it was none of their business. I refuse to pay any amount because I have paid everything I owe them and the fact that I have not received a new card from them should prove that I did return the original card to them.

I had a credit card with Bank of Marin back in 2005. I started getting frustrated with trhe constant changing balances (I would pay and my balance would be the same or higher) I would recieve and closed the account. I paid off the final balance and I thought that was it. I got a letter recently stating I still owed them 300 dollars. I never recieved a paid in full notice.

I called the collection agency and was told, if I didn't get a paid in full notice, there wasn't anything I could do. I refuse to pay these crooks any more money, I don't owe them anything!!!

I purchased a used 2003 Xterra a couple of months ago. The SUV is in great shape, but the hubcap wheel caps keep flying off the vehicle. I've replaced two sets to-date at a cost of about 100.00 to me. The wheels are not damaged in any way; the tires are new(ish) and recently balanced; the front-end alignment is true, and I just put new shocks on the vehicle. The caps still fly off under normal over-the-road driving. I do not off-road drive this vehicle.

No damage to the vehicle, other than the caps keep flying off the SUV and could hit someone behind me when they fly off the truck and bounce down the road.

I have paid the balance off 2 times now. I was told after 6 months the amount would increase. I have never been reviewed. I also pay online about the date it is due and keep receiving the notice it is late. I don't understand how it can be late if it is due on the 28th of the month and I pay on the 1st?

I recieved a bill on the first of the month when I didn't even start the card until the last of the month....go figure!!

I am on SSD and SSI and the fact of charging the late fee every month is a hardship on me due to balancing my budget. By the time I get the bill and pay it I have another 29.00 due for late payment. On my budget I can only pay so much. I am never going to get it paid!

Almost ten years ago I got a secured credit card through Bank Of Marin. i decided about 6 months after having the account that I would cancel the account. It was one that you had to send money in with to be able to use the card. I sent in the money and used the card. When I decided to cancel the account they told me to write a letter and cut up the card and send it in and they also said that the deposit that I made would cover any charges on the card, that I had nothing to worry about.

A few months after that I started getting phone calls from them telling me that my balance was over 900 and that I needed to not make my truck payment and send that money to them, and hope the company that I got the truck from didn't repo my truck.

Now it is almost ten years later and I haven't heard anything from anyone, until almost two weeks ago. I get a phone call from a lawyers office and they tell me I now owe 1300 and that if I don't pay they are going to take me to court.

They don't want to offer me a paper trail, and after almost ten years, I don't know if there is one. I feel that I don't have to pay anything on this and they were rude to me. If you decide to get a credit card don't go through these guys.
