The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus dont have no written premission According to 15 USC 1681 I have the right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I can go on and on and on The credit bureaus have no respect for the laws.

Complaint:
In XXXX, I discovered that an unauthorized individual had stolen my personal information and used it to open a fraudulent account at XXXX XXXX I immediately contacted the bank to report the identity theft and request that the fraudulent account be blocked and investigated. However, as of today 's date, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to take the necessary actions to address this serious matter. 

I have provided all required documentation to the bank, including a copy of my identity theft report, a government-issued ID, and additional personal information to verify my identity and confirm the fraudulent nature of the account. Despite this, the bank has not responded in a timely or adequate manner.Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute fraudulent accounts and request their removal from my credit report. Furthermore, financial institutions are required to have robust policies in place to prevent and address identity theft under the Bank Secrecy Act. The failure of XXXXXXXX XXXX to act promptly and appropriately in this situation may constitute a violation of these federal regulations. Additionally, as the credit bureau is currently reporting this fraudulent account, they too are obligated under the FCRA to correct any inaccuracies in my credit report once notified. 

Request for CFPB Intervention : I urgently request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene on my behalf and ensure that XXXXXXXX XXXX  and Credit Bureau take immediate and appropriate actions to : Block and close the fraudulent account opened at XXXX XXXX in my name. 
Conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter to prevent further fraudulent activity. 
Remove any negative information related to this fraudulent account from my credit report with Credit Bureau. 
Provide written confirmation of all actions taken to resolve this matter. 
I have attached copies of all correspondence with XXXXXXXX XXXX  and Credit Bureau, as well as the documentation provided to verify my identity and report the identity theft. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will act swiftly to help resolve this issue and protect my financial well-being and credit history. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NJ
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
On XXXXXXXX XXXX 2024 my checking account became overdrawn. US Bank then issued an alert on XXXX XXXX, 2024 stating that I needed to deposit a specified amount by XXXX XX/XX/2024 to be eligible to have the {$100.00} in overdraft fees waived ( XXXX {$36.00} fees ). I made the deposit prior to the specified deadline only to discover on the morning of XXXX XXXX, 2024 that there was apparently another payment draft taken out of my account ( {$10.00} ) and the bank reapplied the XXXX {$36.00} overdraft fees and an additional overdraft fee for the attempted draft. 

I was told that, though I met the deadline and fulfilled the specified deposit amount ( the bank gives you until XXXX the following day to deposit an amount that they specify to have fees waived ), they chose to reapply the fees. 

I explained to the representative that If the additional bank draft was attempted XX/XX/XXXX, how could it be included/lumped into the XX/XX/XXXX overdrafts? I requested the overdraft fees be waived and was told that that would not be possible. I then requested to speak with a supervisor. 

Once I reached the supervisor, he agreed to refund only 3 of the 4 {$36.00} overdraft fees. I voiced that this is unethical due to the fact that the standard next day by XXXX deadline should have applied to the XXXX XXXX draft for which I would be able to cover on XX/XX/XXXX. My request for the additional overdraft fee to be refunded was denied. 

I am requesting the opportunity to cover the {$10.00} draft and have the {$36.00} overdraft fee associated with it refunded.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.
