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

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 & Equifax 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.

State: TX
Product: Prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my social security was deposited and I couldn't get it out in its entirety. The identity theft person kept changing my pin and they ended up taking my money, basically {$1400.00}. I took out {$600.00}. The daily limit was met, there was about {$800.00} left. I called Netspend and I told them what happened and they wouldn't let me transfer the rest of my money out. So the thief took the balance out later that day and the next day. I couldn't access my account. The identity theft people kept changing my pin, email, security questions and password over and over. The bank wouldn't freeze my account. I begged them over and over to freeze it. I asked them why they didn't freeze it because of all the unusual activity. Who keeps changing all this access information? I've been a customer since XXXX. I have sent the bank at least XXXX emails, gotten a police report, contacted the FTC, FBI and I provided all of this information to the bank. The dates my money was withdrawn are as follows : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. I asked the bank repeatedly to freeze my account. They didn't. I told them several times to do this. I even reset my security question, the thief changed that. Then I was unable to access my account because they changed EVERYTHING and they were going to send an access code to the fraudulent phone number. I was so upset. They had essentially stolen my account, and the bank let them. This money is what I live on. I'm very upset, to say the least because I had to prove everything over and over again. The customer service people wouldn't let me speak to a supervisor, and nobody would let me know the dispute departments phone number or email address. I was passed on from one person to another and it was obvious to me they were trained to deflect people from finding out specific information. I believe this bank acted in an illegal manner, in my opinion. I want my money back with none of the flimsy excuses and I need it ASAP. I need my medications. I have several illnesses, serious ones. This has caused me so much stress I can not eat or sleep well. I just want/need my money back and I want to be done with them. False promises and their excuses ... they can keep them.

Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I called the mortgage company two days after closing on my property to update my address so they could send me a check for the amount due back to me of {$1500.00}. After a month and a half of not receiving payment I called again and was told there was no record that I had called in and the check was returned because it was sent to my old address. I then updated my address again and was told I would receive the check within two weeks. After two weeks I called again last night and was told it would be a month before they would send the check. After I complained I was told the manager would call me first thing in the morning and they would overnight a check to me. After no call this morning I called and was told they would need 24 more hours before a manager could call me. Finally I was able to speak to a customer service manager but she said she could not send the check until the Escrow Department could stop the original check and then rerelase the funds which could take a day or two and she would mail the check so it would take 7-10 days. We are going on three months since I closed on my house and I get a different  story every time I call in.
