Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: RI
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Lease
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

Complaint:
I chose to buy out my lease. My wife sent US Bank a personal check for the agreed upon price plus state taxes. Just over thirty thousand dollars. The check was cashed. Two days later the funds were returned. As soon as I noticed the returned funds I called US Bank. The associate I spoke to told me that the check was not signed and I needed to send a new check. I called my wife and told her we made a mistake and we need to send a new check. She replied by sending me a picture of the check written out perfectly. So I then called US Bank back to question what was wrong with the check. I was told by a bank employee that I needed to sign the front and endorse the back of check and overnight the new check to US Bank. I asked to speak to a supervisor because Ive never heard of endorsing a check that I wrote and I was worried about US Bank having two checks equaling {$61000.00}. The employee told me that no one was available to talk to me and someone would call me back. I called back to talk to someone new and after much questioning was told to write new check properly and mail it to US Bank. I still wanted to talk to a supervisor so I waited for my callback. Two days later I still had no response. My wife called our bank and they said I should send a bank check there is no way US Bank can not except it and they would send it for us. The bank check was taken out of our account and mailed to US Bank. The bank check was signed for by US Bank the next day. I called about a week later to make sure all was well. I was told my account was closed and I should expect the title for my vehicle in the mail. That day the title arrived. Everything seemed good. Until my wife and I are on vacation and my wife goes to a pharmacy and trys to pay for her products to find her card was declined. How embarrassing! Come to find out US Bank cashed the first check we sent for a second time and overdrew the account. I called US Bank immediately in a panic. After a long conversation I finally spoke to a manager who told me that nothing can be done until Monday. She told me an investigation would be started Monday morning. When I called Monday no one knew anything about my issue and nothing has been done but was assured that someone would look into it. As I am writing this it has been five days and they still have not resolved the problem. Every time I call its a struggle to talk to someone who knows anything about my problem. My wife and I are both very busy and finding it difficult to work a deal with this problem. I have to repeat my nightmare story every call. Ive had to give my social security number to so many people Ive lost count. We are scared this is going to effect our lives greatly.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX and I am filing this complaint against Equifax for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. During a reinvestigation, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) of the FCRA, I was supposed to receive a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information on my credit file from Equifax no later than 15 days after receiving my request for that description. I requested a description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information reporting to my file through CFPB complaint numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and by certified mail # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, and I have not received anything from Equifax regarding this matter. It is my belief that no such records exist and my right to privacy has been violated for profit. My financial reputation is being ruined due to Equifaxs blatant disregard for federal law. It is my belief that Equifax feels comfortable committing blatant violations of the FCRA because they know the CFPB wont enforce the laws set forth by congress as shown time and time again. Equifax has caused me sleepless nights, stress, XXXX and XXXX due to its profits over the law mentality. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) If after any reinvestigation any information disputed by a consumer is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I unfortunately fell for a scam call and used XXXX in three debit transactions total in {$2500.00}. The three transactions were sent to three different accounts that I never had transactions before while there is no warning or limit appeared. I realized the call was a scam in the midway and call Citibank right away, but was told nothing they can do, not even helping me to stop payment within short time after the transactions. 

I made a fraud claim to Citibank few hours later and provided details of the scam call as well as mentioned that I have filled the case in police station. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the bank saying that it was unable to reimburse me and I called the fraud line to follow up. I was told that there was not enough supporting so I was asked to fax in the police report via its branch. I did that but on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Citibank asking me to solve the problem with the merchant instead. I called again to explain that this was a scam not something with merchant and I also re-emphasized the police report I fax in. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter denying my claim again. 

I made call again to initiate dispute and in the multiple communications, I was asked to email and mail in the supporting documents, which I did both actions. I also requested the copies of the information used in the investigation for three times since XXXX but never receive anything. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter saying denying my claim. 

I really appreciate any help for me to communicate with the bank to make my case as this is obvious a scam. I dont feel the protection in my banking relationship and dont think there is enough respect to customer as the only sentence the bank kept sending is we maintain our position to deny your claim. More importantly, I believe I am entitled by law to obtain the information used in investigations. But there is not transparency and respect on this specific piece of law.

Under the FDCPA, you have the right to debt validation.

Also, a debt collector must also prove they have a legal right to collect the debt. 

This matter needs to get resolve immediately.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service

Issue: Managing, opening, or closing your mobile wallet account

Complaint:
From : XXXX XXXX Re : PayPal Account Hold Unjustified and Ambiguous Actions Dear CFPB Representatives, I hope this message finds you well. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I'm writing to raise a serious concern regarding PayPal and its actions, which I believe are in violation of my rights as a consumer and potentially in contravention of specific U.SXXXX financial regulations. 

On XXXX, PayPal sent me a communication indicating that they have ceased processing payments for my account. Their rationale, as stated, is notably ambiguous : they cite " activity on this account that we can not support '' without offering any specific details or clear reasons. As a long-standing user of PayPal, XXXX have always adhered to their terms and conditions and, to the best of my knowledge, have never engaged in any prohibited activities. 

I find their decision not only puzzling but also deeply concerning. By freezing my account, PayPal has effectively trapped a significant sum of {$4000.00}, which they claim might be held for up to 120 days. While they note the potential for chargebacks or other financial liabilities, there have been no recent transactions or activities on my end that would warrant such a drastic measure. 

This situation raises several issues : Lack of Transparency and Specificity : PayPal 's vague communication and broad reasoning deprive me of a proper understanding of what has transpired. Such opacity in business practices raises questions about fairness and transparency. 

Potential Breach of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act ( EFTA ) : By holding my funds without a clear reason, I believe PayPal might be violating provisions of the EFTA, which ensures consumers are provided clear information regarding electronic fund transfers. 

Undue Financial Strain : The locked funds have caused significant financial inconvenience. The fact that they can hold the funds for up to 120 days without a definitive reason feels like a breach of good faith and fair dealing. 

Ambiguity in PayPal 's 'Supported Activity ' Section : Having reviewed the 'Supported Activity ' section in PayPal 's Help Center, I still find no clarity on what might have triggered this action on my account. It's essential for service providers like PayPal to provide clear and accessible information on what constitutes prohibited activity. 

I humbly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that such practices are held up to the highest standards of scrutiny. Consumers deserve clear communication, especially when dealing with financial matters that can significantly impact their lives. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your dedication to protecting consumers and hope to find a resolution soon. 

Warm regards, XXXX XXXX
