Company: U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION - SAN FRANCISCO MAIN BRANCH
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I opened a savings account with Union Bank of California on XX/XX/2018. The branch address where I opened the account is : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. 

After opening the account I waited for my ATM card to arrive in the mail. While I was waiting for my card someone somehow stole my card information and began withdrawing the money from my account. I have the envelope that the card arrived in. It was postmarked in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and would not arrive to XXXX XXXX until some time after that date. The first stolen withdrawal was for {$100.00} on XX/XX/2018 at my branch. The second stolen withdrawal was for {$40.00} on XX/XX/2018 at a branch across town. The last stolen withdrawal was for {$200.00} on XX/XX/2018 at my branch again. Upon seeing the fraudulent withdrawals I immediately went to my bank with my ATM card that was still attached to the paper that it arrived on and opened a claim and had the branch assistant manager destroy my ATM card. The card never left my apartment. No one knows my pin. It was still attached to the paper that it came on! 

My claim to get my money back was denied. The bank told me that they would be in contact with me up to 30 days after the claim was filed. No one bothered to contact me to tell me that my claim was denied. I'm filing a dispute with their ruling because the card was not even in my possession when the first transaction happened.

Complaint:
I mailed in the IRS forms for the 1096, and 1099C to the IRS as taxable income for this year, ( XXXX ). Therefore, both accounts for the XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, must cancel the debt ASAP, by deleting the accounts from all credit bureaus that were reported to. 

Per the IRS, tax topic No. 431, of Cancellation of Debt How long does a creditor have to send a 1099-C?

Form 1099-C is a federal tax form required by the IRS. Lenders and other creditors must submit a copy to the agency and to taxpayers whenever they cancel or forgive a debt worth {$600.00} or more. Forms must be sent to taxpayers by XXXX XXXX. 

Is a creditor required to send a 1099-C?

If a debt is owned ( or treated as owned for federal income tax purposes ) by more than one creditor, each creditor that is described under Who Must File, earlier, must issue a Form 1099-C if that creditor 's part of the canceled debt is {$600.00} or more.

What happens if I don't report 1099c?

If you don't report the taxable amount of the canceled debt, the IRS may send you a notice proposing to assess additional tax and may audit your tax return. In addition, the IRS may assess extra tax, penalties, and interest. XX/XX/XXXX Tax Topic No. 431, Canceled Debt It is my responsibility to report the correct taxable amount of canceled debt as income on your tax return for the year in which the cancellation occurred remains, regardless of the accuracy of the Form 1099-C you received.

Complaint:
Experian widely denies consumers access to consumer credit reports through the online option as the other 2 bureaus provide, and Experian agrees to also provide. For multiple years I have been prevented from obtaining my credit report online. I am only able to request a hard copy through the U.S. Mail. The US Congress has provided weekly credit reports through the 3 bureaus. It is not reasonable to write every week and send a letter every week to receive a hard copy weeks later. I have sent certified mail and received no response to any correspondence over the years. Calling Experian reaches staff that is ill equipped to resolve an issue such as this. No supervisor returns calls. No supervisor is available during these calls according to Experian staff. I am able to properly obtain my credit report online with XXXX and XXXX through the XXXX website. And Experian does in fact provide me with an electronic version of my credit report for a monthly fee that I am forced to pay to obtain my credit report without having to mail in a hard copy request and wait weeks for the report.
