Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I started getting phone calls regularly at least twice a day. I don't answer calls from random numbers but after several days it became annoying. I checked the internet to see who was calling me and discovered it was Avant. I have a credit account with them. When I logged into my account I saw they were claiming my payment was late for XXXX. I paid my monthly bill on XX/XX/XXXX even though it was due on the 25th of the month. They are charging me a late fee. I phoned them immediately to inform them they were incorrect and that I had paid on the 1st of the month. I was told that counted as XXXX, even though I had paid XXXX on the XXXX. I asked them to remove the late fee but they denied my request. This is not about the money. If I had been late I would've just paid it. I started doing research on Avant and saw that they have done some questionable things in the past. I am filing because they are being unfair. The statement tells me I have to send them a request in writing for a " mistake '' on my bill. I will be doing this as soon as I've completed this here.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite numerous efforts and diligent follow-up, the inaccuracies persist, posing a severe threat to my financial well-being and personal security. 

I initially reported instances of fraud previously, providing comprehensive documentation, including affidavits, police reports, and other necessary information. Since then, I have consistently followed your prescribed dispute resolution procedures, yet the fraudulent entries continue to mar my credit history. 

I have fulfilled all requirements, adhered to the appropriate dispute procedures, and communicated extensively with your representatives. However, the resolution of these fraudulent entries has not been achieved despite multiple attempts. 

I demand an immediate and thorough investigation into these matters. I expect the prompt removal of all fraudulent items from my credit report and a comprehensive update reflecting accurate and verified information. Additionally, I request a detailed written explanation for the persistent presence of these fraudulent entries and the measures being taken to prevent their recurrence. 

These fraudulent items not only compromise my creditworthiness but also expose me to potential financial and identity-related risks. I trust that XXXX Credit Bureaus takes these concerns seriously and is committed to upholding the accuracy and integrity of consumer credit reports. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {XXXX} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {XXXX} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {XXXX} XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {XXXX} XXXX XX/XX/2022 XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {XXXX} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00}.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX, under the penalty of perjury certify and affirm that all forthcoming statements are true. Transunion is violating my federally protected rights per 15 USC 1681 by reporting inaccurate incomplete and fraudulent information to my credit report that is being furnished by unauthorized and predatory 3rd party companies. I have been disputing these accounts as fraud since XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet as of XX/XX/XXXX received any proof of permissible purpose for reporting these fraudulent accounts. Every time I write to or call Transunion they claim information being reported has been validated but I have yet to receive any documentary evidence that supports the permissible purpose of this information being reported or furnished on my transunion credit report which not only violates the FCRA but also the FDCPA per 15 USC 1692. If the companies furnishing these accounts to Transunion are not able to provide debt validation or proof that they are the original holder of the note of indebtedness that legally allows them to still be able to collect or retain the debt, then the accounts shall be deleted immediately. Transunion seems to lack impartiality as they have been claiming for over a year that these debts have been validated without permissible purpose or evidence because they are gaining financially from these unauthorized third-party companies who pay Transunion to report fraudulent consumer credit transaction history. Please see attached notarized identity theft complaint and affidavit, identification documents such as NJ issued driver 's license and my current insurance bill, as well as all police reports, FTC identity theft and fraud complaints, and CFPB complaints that have been received by Transunion and all unauthorized 3rd parties listed in the notarized affidavit and complaint.

Company: AXOS FINANCIAL, INC.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
Hi I have a small business account with Axos bank, opened in XX/XX/2020. They didn't provide good service, so I didn't use it for my business transactions. However, I kept {$25000.00} in their savings account since they were offering good interest rates. 

I desperately needed that money now for my business and wanted to withdraw and close the business savings account. 

My online access was suddenly blocked. I had logged in to get my 1099 INT for tax filing few days ago and it was fine. When I called the bank, they said it was a glitch and my account balance is showing XXXX at their end but it has been 2 weeks since I found out that I can not access my account. I did not withdraw or make any transactions on that account. It was left there as a buffer when I needed it and allowed to grow. 

They now disconnect when I call and my online access is still blocked. With 2 years of accumulated interest, the account had ~ {$28000.00}. Now, the bank has just taken it all without any explanation. 
Initially, they said a senior manager will call to sort it out and get my money back but not one person has called back and they disconnect my calls. 

Please help. It is my hard earned money. How can a bank steal my money this way. I have been trying to contact various commissions for help with no response.
