Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
For the past 18 months I've tried to resolve an inaccuracy issue that was reported to all 3 credit bureaus. I have reached out to XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX regarding this matter ( disputes were also filed online ). I made a credit card payment for XXXX dollars in XXXX of XXXX to Regions Bank. 
I was kicked out of the system due to the website 's nightly maintenance. The issue resulted in me receiving a derogatory remark ( 30-day late payment ). I've spoken with 2 supervisors and several customer service reps in Regions credit card department on several different occasions regarding the issue. Regions advised that letters were sent to all 3 bureaus to have the discrepancies removed. 
After speaking with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I was told to request the letter be sent directly to me, I was instructed to upload the letter in the dispute portal online. 

I called Regions on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by the credit department that the system wouldn't allow them to send the letter directly to me. The representative tried to locate numbers to speak with the agencies directly. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful. After speaking with his supervisor, he was instructed to send yet another letter ( the 4th attempt sent ) to resolve the issues. I'm not sure why the letters aren't arriving to the proper departments but, at this point the inaccurate reporting is affecting my ability to secure my mortage loan. I can't be approved by my lender with any late payments under 2 years old.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the Department Of Education 's prolonged reporting of inaccurate information on my credit profile, which has been persisting for over 15 years. Despite the passage of time and my efforts to rectify this matter, the false reporting still appears from the Department Of Education on my credit profile as of the date of this complaint, which is XX/XX/2023. 

As per my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and industry standards, it is expected that negative information should be removed from a credit report after a period of 7 years. However, in my case, the inaccurate information continues to be reported well beyond this time frame, causing significant harm to my financial standing. 

The prolonged reporting of false information has had a detrimental impact on my creditworthiness, making it challenging for me to access credit and financial opportunities. Despite my best efforts to rectify this situation and comply with the guidelines outlined by governing bodies, the inaccurate reporting persists, causing continued frustration and disappointment. 

I have made multiple attempts to address this issue directly with the credit reporting agencies, but to no avail. It is out of sheer desperation and a sense of injustice that I am turning to your esteemed organization for assistance in resolving this matter. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thoroughly investigates this case and takes appropriate action against the credit reporting agencies responsible for the prolonged reporting of inaccurate information on my credit profile. I believe that by bringing attention to this issue, justice will be served, and steps will be taken to rectify the inaccurate reporting that has tarnished my creditworthiness for far too long. 

I have attached supporting documentation, including copies of my credit reports and correspondence with the credit reporting agencies, for your reference. Please let me know if any additional information is required to facilitate your investigation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and the restoration of accuracy to my credit profile. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will advocate for consumers like me and ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the necessary regulations and standards.

Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madame ; On XX/XX/XXXX, I placed an order from " XXXX XXXX for trial products resulting in charges of {$12.00} for products and shipping/ handling. I paid the {$12.00}. 
These were the only 2 products I received. 
I was then charged {$94.00} and {$89.00}, on my Sears Citibank credit card, for products I never received. I never placed another order or signed for " auto ship ''. 
I had no way of contacting the merchant, there was not an invoice in the package. This lead me to believe this was a scam and I turned to my credit card company for protection. 
My account, supposedly, was credited for only 1 charge of {$89.00}. ( Unfortunately, I can not find this letter. ) However, the charge of {$94.00} remained on the account. I have addressed this issue in my last 2 letters to Sears Citibank. Citibank told me that they did not receive some information in a timely manner from me, but I sent a letter XX/XX/XXXX that resulted in the recovery of above mentioned amount of {$89.00} only. 
I'm not quite sure how 1 charge can be credited, 1 remain outstanding, and all the late fees still upheld. All for products I never received. I should not have to pay for, or charged with late fees for products that were never received. 
This issue has gone to " collections '' despite my attempts to resolve the issue. 
In my most recent interaction XXXX ) with Sears Citibank, I sent a letter to " Sears MasterCard Recovery Disputes '', detailing yet again this past year 's issues. I am at my whit 's end to resolve the situation. 
I had been a good customer since XXXX, never had a late payment, and now this mess. 
I trust that all charges in this matter, {$89.00} ( if not already done ) and {$94.00}, along with all the late fees associated with these charges will be recovered/waived. 
I appreciate your time and attention in this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I have been a customer at Citizens Bank for more than 4 years. 
Over the past two years, my accounts have been frozen without any notice or explanation and I believe this has been targeted towards me based on my nationality. 
The branch manager where I opened the account personally supervised the last hold on my account ( XX/XX/2019 ) and was asking for documents to prove my legal status in the United States. They held my college tuition and caused me great distress. I asked about the nature of the investigation three times, and every time I was ignored. This year around the same time, there was another hold put on my account, and my credit card payments which are auto-pays were returned by the bank. I still do not have access to my account and I can not transfer any funds. I have been in touch with every representative from customer support to the office of the chairman at this financial group for two months and there has been no action regarding the matter. I was given this number ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to resolve the issue. After speaking to XXXX, and being promised full access to my accounts and a call back regarding the reason for the holds two months ago, I still can not access my accounts or even withdraw the funds.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I'm trying to unfreeze my credit report with Experian and they asked me to send all my sensitive data via regular mail ( Copy of driver license, SSN card, utility bills and bank account statement ). 
I mailed all this sensitive information about 8 weeks ago and no reply. 
I sent them another request via regular mail and no reply. 
Over the website it is not possible to unfreeze the credit because they say the PIN is wrong ( Which I don't think so ), customer support doesn't exist, only automated answers. 
Not sure if now someone has my personal data and I'm further exposed to identity theft. 
It is not possible to reach anybody over the phone or email, only automatic system that keep saying to send again the above sensitive data via regular mail. 
I consider this way of operating unfair and dangerous to the security of the users. 
I'm stuck with my credit frozen and I don't know how to reach someone for help.
