State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high- risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation

Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing

Complaint:
I purchased a car on XXXX. The car lot ( XXXX XXXX ) provided me with options for obtaining financing for a XXXX  XXXX XXXX I wanted to purchase. We decided to use ONEMAIN. I asked the salesperson XXXX XXXX XXXX if I needed proof of income and he advised no ; he had spoken to ONEMAIN on the telephone. I completed the application and it was sent in with my drivers ' license and proof of insurance. The documents were uploaded electronically thru a link they sent me. When I sent the items thru the first time, it asked for proof of income but I did not attach anything as I was told it was not needed. The transmission did not go thru as completed because the proof of income had not been uploaded. I showed that to XXXX the salesperson and he thought it was odd as he was told no proof of income was needed. I had my XXXX in my phone so I uploaded to the site. The loan was then approved. I believe I was asked for proof of income as ONEMAIN then had a copy of my driver 's license that confirmed my minority status. I believe when they saw I made over $ XXXX a year, they did not accept that a minority woman could earn that much money. In response to the XXXX XXXX review, I was told to contact XXXX with my concerns. On XXXX, I spoke to XXXX with ONEMAIN ( XXXX ext XXXX XXXX ) who confirmed the above timeline of documents. I explained how humiliated I was. Her response was " if I was so humiliated, why didnt I say anything to the salesperson ''. I explained that I was going to let it go until I received the XXXX XXXX  survey request. She said their systems are automated and there was no malicious intent. Then why would the loan application not go thru the first time. This has to be a glitch they are aware of and feigning ignorance or a systems error is not an excuse for XXXXXXXX XXXX. What I believe to be XXXX XXXX has to stop. By the way, the representative I spoke with was very professional.

Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
I opened and funded an online business checking account at U.S. Bank On XX/XX/XXXX. It was funded with {$5100.00}. Without notifying me they closed my account At some point there after. The only way that I found out is because I couldnt access my account online and called them on XX/XX/XXXX to find out the matter. They informed me that they decided they didnt want my business and turned me over to the fraud department. They said that I had 10 days to appeal their decision and if not at some point after that, they would send my Funds to the address on file. I told them I did not want to appeal their decision, and that I would like my funds sent to me immediately. They said that would not happen, and that they had no timeline for when I would receive my funds. I talked to what I was told was a manager and he told me there was absolutely no way to determine when I would get my money back. This is the point at which I am listed your help. I really dont know what else to do as they basically said that I will get my money when they are ready to send it to me. Thank you

Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
I am currently working overseas and was advised by my Bank that they could not transact an overseas wire without a personal visit by me to the Branch. 
Accordingly, I flew back to USA. 
I visited the Citizens Bank Branch in XXXX XXXX, XXXX personally on XX/XX/2023 and completed paperwork for an overseas wire transfer to XXXX. {$140000.00}. 
I dealt with XXXX XXXX and the Branch Manager XXXX XXXX. 
after 10 days, when the wired money failed to arrive, I contacted the Bank and was advised that the wire had been cancelled due to an error on their part. 
The Bank advised : I was able to call the wire department to see what happened with the funds for the wire. The wire did end up being canceled due to typographical errors on their end. 
The Bank acknowledged that the error was made by them. 
I subsequently spoke with the Bank and asked them to reinstate the wire transfer. 
The Bank stated they were unable to send the wire again unless I visited the Branch. 
By this time, I had returned overseas. 
This is a Bank error and they have made no effort to correct the error or reinstate the wire. I am now overseas and unable to call at the Branch.

Complaint:
Attached is a letter I received from XXXX XXXX reflecting the rights they have to share my personal information regarding Loan # XXXX. This was a fraudulent loan and XXXX  XXXX  did not even have permissible purpose to access my private information. See incomplete application that was used to access my credit report one day after credit was pulled. So now sharing my personal information now adds insult to injury. I called the number on the letter and was informed the letters went out by mistake?????????? What other mistakes is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX making? According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a national consumer credit reporting agency 's ( CRA ) role in the dispute process is to review the accuracy and completeness of any disputed item. I request the CRA to review the incomplete application that was not to be processed as was even reflected at the top of the application.
