Complaint:
This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
A charge off means that a lender or creditor had written the account off as a loss and the account is considered to be used as income when filling taxes for the consumer which mean it should not be used to be reported on credit report. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( 1 ) the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. In accurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. The charge off of this account reporting a late payment is a clear violation of the FCRA law. Late payments are illegal according to 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) ( 1 ) under exclusions. The information on two different credit reporting agencies is reporting two different information and dates do not match

Complaint:
To Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I writing with a complaint on all three Credit Bureaus : TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX. 

I am an owner within XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed a credit card charge with XXXX XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/2023. Based on this open dispute XXXX XXXX put the following comment two different times on my credit bureau reports : Account information disputed by consumer, meets Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements. This statement caused my Transunion credit score to drop XXXX points from XXXX to XXXX. Additionally, the XXXX and XXXX credit scores dropped between XXXX and XXXX points from XXXX to XXXX to XXXX. 

I disputed the charge on my credit card account because I didn't receive the services I paid for from the merchant, and its my right to dispute the charge. However, based on the statement XXXX XXXX put on my credit bureau file it caused my credit score to drop drastically which was punitive to me. The statement XXXX XXXX put on the account should not have caused my credit score to decrease at all. 

I contacted each Credit Bureau and they removed the statement. My credit scores increased ; however, they did not increase by the amounts they decreased. I mentioned that XXXX XXXX put this statement on my account twice so again my score is back down to XXXX with Transunion and in the mid XXXX with the other two bureaus. 

I want to know why me disputing a charge is punitive with the credit bureaus. I believe this practice should be looked into. Your assistance is appreciated. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
Citizens bank has been charging outrageous overdraft fees. The fees are so much that I can never get ahead and when my paycheck gets directly deposited I have no money. They will charge {$37.00} for each overdraft. And additional {$30.00} each day you are negative. And, if they return a payment to a creditor they charge you another {$37.00} for each transaction. Other banks give you more time to satisfy your account without all of these crazy fees. Citizens now gives you one day to credit your account " peace of mind fee '' which is not. Because you not only have to pay the overdraft on your account you have to pay all of the overdraft fees as well. It just isn't fair and they make so much money off of people having money troubles, especially with the pandemic. 

I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and asked that they freeze or close my account, because I am still getting charged a lot of fees ; due to my returned payments to creditors being resubmitted which again causes {$37.00} for overdraft and additional {$37.00} to return ; it's like a never ending cycle. I was told by the bank that they can not freeze or close my account until it has a zero balance. I told them I was concerned about more fees being charged to my account that is now out of my control ; and I was told there was nothing I could do until I brought my account positive. I can not do this ; I now owe over {$1000.00}, if I wasn't charged all of these fees to begin with my creditors would have been paid. The other thing they do is you look at your account one evening to make sure everything is paid ; then the next morning I find things posted over night and overdraft fees charged ; when I thought my account was okay. 

This is a never ending cycle, I can not get out from under this and I have no money to live on. I have a disabled daughter who may need to have surgery very soon and I have no money to take her to her appointment which is over 3 hours away. I begged and pleaded with the bank and they didn't help at all. 

I am hoping someone can please help me. My account number is : XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/1969 ; last 4 ssn XXXX. 

I would like all of these fees be returned to my account and then close my account. I am done banking with this bank ; I have been charged thousands of fees and they are making so much money off of me ; and now I am behind on my bills as well. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX PS you will most likely receive something from the Federal Reserve Consumer Help Center, because I filled my complaint with wrong bureau and they told me they would forward my complaint to your office.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
I filed a complaint with the CFPB regarding Amex Served Prepaid Credit Card. I outlined that my identity was stolen and a card was requested in my maiden name. The theft had my SS #, DOB, and other sensitive information. The request was made from an email address that does not belong to me. I contacted Amex Served at ( XXXX ) XXXX where the overseas representatives did not understand the severity of what transpired or handled the identity theft with due diligence. I confirmed my SS #, DOB, etc. and asked to close the account and provide me something in writing that the matter was handled. Since XX/XX/2018, when I called XXXX times and was repeatedly hung up on after asking for confirmation, I never received anything in writing stating the Amex handled the matter. I then submitted a complaint to the CFPB ( CFPB Ref No : XXXX ) and the response I received was alarming! Not only did the Amex agent not address my complaint, they also provided me with the same phone number to close my account after I provide my SS #, DOB, etc.! This is information I provided 6 times on XX/XX/2018, to Amex served while letting them know my identity was stolen! Only to be repeatedly hung up on by overseas representatives! At one point, the representative told me he would send a confirmation to the fake email address where the thief requested a card in my name! Appalling! Not only do they not understand the context of the language they were going to commit additional violations. I want all my calls pulled for pending litigation. The response I received said they could not locate the calls. I do not believe that as each time I called in it said my calls were being recorded.! 
This is my final attempt to have Amex contact me via US representative of legal counsel to address the identity theft. If I do not receive a proper response, I will be seeking legal counsel to pursue any and all legal remedies to correct the actions of American Express Serve for the negligence in handling my identity theft complaint. Please refer to my previous complaint for additional information that occurred during my XXXX phone calls on XX/XX/2018, attempting to have this issue handled. 
I gave birth on XX/XX/2018, and the negligence of Amex has cause me emotion distress during the time I am bonding with my newborn. AGAIN! This is my finally attempt to properly resolve this matter as many FTC violations occurred with regards to identity theft and proper handling of this matter. If I do not receive a call or confirmation in writing by a UNITED STATES representative ( someone in a supervisory capacity or from Amexs legal office ) stating that my identity theft has been address and providing me with the information that was used to open an account in my name ) I WILL SEEK LEGAL ACTION!

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
Nelnet initially alerted me on XX/XX/XXXX about a payment in the amount of {$330.00} that was due. My usual monthly payment is {$120.00}. After making one payment, I found they are again requesting the same amount. I called Nelnet on XX/XX/XXXX asking why the amount has increased. The customer service agent could offer no explanation, even after I told her I have had no changes to my income or anything recently that would increase my monthly payment. The rep then offered to have me file for an income driven repayment plan ( which I am already on ) that would lower my monthly payment to {$300.00}. I asked again why the amount has gone up so drastically, and she offered no explanation and hung up on me. I have since been trying to resubmit my income driven repayment plan but they are not allowing me to rearrange payments or anything to lessen this financial burden.
