Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: NC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
I have a BB & T Money Account and utilize this account to pay my bills. This account does not go into overdrafts and you are unable to utilize funds that are not in the account. On XX/XX/2018, I check my account balance and I had a balance of {$200.00} plus change. I utilized my card to make a XXXXXXXX XXXX   purchase for {$19.00} on that day which posted on XX/XX/2018. I additionally performed another transaction for {$180.00} by visiting a BB & T banking center location and making an ATM withdrawal. On Thursday, XX/XX/2018, I checked my account and there was an overdrawn balance of {$190.00} and some change. How is that possible when there are no overdraft fees or the possibility of overdrawing on this type of account so how am I able to utilize funds that are not there. With this card, you can't even purchase gas at gas pump to avoid overdrawn balances. I reviewed my account and there were no unknown credits or deposits credited to my account. I reached out to the BB & T and inquired as to why I was overdrawn. They basically repeated my account activity but could not answer as to how I would be over to overdraw this account if the funds were not there. As I previously explained, I had an available balance of {$200.00} when I checked my account. BB & T couldn't answer as to why and submitted a problem resolution ticket. Every time I reach out to them for the resolution of this matter, I am only told that it is in review and they do not have an answer as of yet. Due to this bank error, I have experienced financial hardship and I feel as if they are not addressing my concerns because when my employer 's direct deposit credited my account on XX/XX/2018, it was {$190.00} preventing me from paying my entire rent which would have been possible if my account was not overdrawn when it credited my account. This is unjust and completely some type of error by BB & T which they are unethically failing to accept as their fault. This situation occurred soon after the big national news of their system failure that affected me as well. When that incident occurred, I didn't receive my payroll direct deposit for 2 days after the scheduled date.

State: MD
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have on more than two occasions requested that XXXX and TransUnion remove an alleged bankruptcy which they are reporting under my name in my their credit files. Letters which have been composed by me have repeatedly asked them to validate and verify the alleged bankruptcy and both companies have corresponded that the bankruptcy has been verified from the company which provided the information to them. The company which they are speaking of is XXXX XXXX and that company has no such bankruptcy listed in my file. I have received a copy of my XXXX XXXX file and see no such information within their database. On another level of complaint with the same erroneous and alleged bankruptcy information, according to the new law effective XXXX XXXX, XXXX any public record data must include name and address as well as social security number or date of birth in order for it to appear in your credit file. XXXX ( Report # XXXX, dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) and TransUnion ( File # XXXX, dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) have not provided this information on the credit report that they maintain in my name. This is a violation of the new law. Because I have repeatedly inquired with both companies and they have both claimed that it is verified, the erroneous information does not have the minimum required information listed in this alleged bankruptcy, and they are not willing to do the proper investigation into this matter, I am requesting your assistance with this issue. I have credit file documents ( provided here ), certified and return receipt mailings from the United States Postal Service ( provided upon request ) to  further solidify my complain which I am presenting. I am very frustrated with both companies and their lack of diligence and because this incorrect information is being reported, offers are not being executed. There is no such bankruptcy being reported on XXXX and XXXX ( both provided here ) and this information was also sent to the two credit bureaus as well.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I have paid on time for the last 5 years and it appears that regardless of what I do my credit score never gets better, which causes me problems when trying to refinance my home and obtain better rates. I'm inclined to believe that the three credit bureaus knows nationality based on names. I think as a consumer this should be investigated. Minorities do not and will not get the same treatment as our counterparts if we as a country don't look into matters that appear to be fair from looking from outside, but internally the bureaus have underlining agendas that we will never understand. Please take a look into these matters to make sure we are all treated equally as consumers. Credit suppression seems to also exist in this country as well.

Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Re : First National Bank of Omaha XXXX XXXX Credit Card Annual Fee. 

On XX/XX/2019, around XXXXXXXX XXXX Pacific time, while making the monthly payment for the XXXX XXXX charge card issued by First National Bank of Omaha, I notice an annual membership fee of {$19.00} posted on XX/XX/2019 ( see attached statement ) to my account. The membership fee was for the coming year. It was too late to call the bank ( headquarter in Nebraska ) to discuss this charge, so I made the call on XX/XX/2019, around XXXX XXXX Pacific time. 
Spoke to the customer service representative on XX/XX/2019, explained charge on my statement and her to cancel my charge card and refund the membership fee. She put me on hold to speak to a supervisor and came back to me and said that they can cancel the card but can not reverse my membership fee. Then I explained to her that the fees charged was for the future year and as I do not want to use the card I should not be charged a fee for a service that I do not want. She replied that there is nothing she can do. Next, I asked to speak with a supervisor and the customer representative said that the supervisor is going to say the same. I insisted that I talk to a supervisor and after being on hold for about 5 minutes I was connected to a supervisor named XXXX. I explained to her that I notice this fee posted to my account, on XX/XX/2019, while making my payment on XX/XX/2019. Also, I told her that it was within 30 days of the charge being posted on my account and I should have the option to cancel the charge card and not be charged an annual membership fee. She said that she could not reverse the fee. As I realized that I was not getting anywhere with her and she was oblivious to reasoning. I asked her to cancel my card as of XX/XX/2019, and decided to seek your agencys help. 
This kind of strong-arm tactics by financial institutes and/or by their staff should be curtailed. They know that they hold our credit future at ransom, thereby refusing to listen to reasoning and use common sense. Most financial institution are professional and do try to work with the consumer to address their grievances. It is in my opinion that I think that as a consumer I should have the right to dispute a charge within a reasonable time, in this case approximately 11 days, and not pay for a membership I do not want. Please look into this illegal charge and hopefully come up with a favorable outcome.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am at a loss as I have tried reporting an inaccurate credit score drop with TransUnion regarding a 65 point drop for a credit line increase. The {$500.00} increase was provided to all consumers of my financial institution for the Covid-19 pandemic, as a stimulus, without soliciting for it. Again, the increase was a courteousy increase and absolutely no credit inquiries were performed as part of this increase. I notified my financial institution on XX/XX/2020 to express my concerns about the increase adversely affecting my credit. I was assured, by my financial institution that it should not adversely affect my credit score since no credit inquiries were performed. However, on XX/XX/2020, I recieved an alert from my credit monitoring service that my TransUnion score dropped. My score dropped a whole 65 points solely due to the {$500.00} increase, no other CRA reduced my score due to this increase. I assumed this was an error and would fix itself since the balance of that credit card that was increased is and has been at a {$0.00} balance for the past 6 months or more. In addition, all credit line balances I have open were also reduced significantly and no new adverse entries were added. However, it is now XX/XX/2020 and my TransUnion score still reflects the 65 point reduction. To add insult to injury, TransUnion complaint line goes unanswered when you call and the online complaint option does not allow for a unfair credit score dispute. I have no idea how or why TransUnion reduced my score so significantly. I want answers and for my score to return to its rightful status. I have not worked this hard to maintain my credit profile for an eroneous computer glitch or intentional score resuction to tarnish my credit worthiness. I want TransUnion to investigate how and why this happened, correct their processes/procedures that allowed this to happen so that it does not happen again and adjust my credit score back to it rightful standing of 734 or higher.
