Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC
Product: Money transfers
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Money was not available when promised

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/15 - I attempted to make a mobile check deposit to XXXX from my account at XXXX XXXX. I received an error message and made XXXX additional attempts. XXXX online app indicated none of the deposits were made because their system was having problems, when in fact, all XXXX checks were deposited, XXXX with the same check # - all totaling {$7000.00} ( a deposit of {$3000.00}, XXXX of {$2000.00} and XXXX more for {$2000.00} ). That afternoon - all checks posted to the XXXX account and I immediately called XXXX the next day. XXXX rep was rude, put me on hold, and then informed me that only XXXX of the {$2000.00} deposits would be reversed and it would take 5-7 days. I received a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 from XXXX stating that the account was adjusted in the amount of {$2000.00}. The funds were not returned to XXXX - even though past the 5-7 day mark ( XXXX - XXXX ). I called XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 - the rep told me the money was 'in limbo ' and that they discovered the mistake ( Wrong - I called them! ) and that I would need to contact XXXX and give them a case number to retrieve the {$.00} XXXX did nothing in error - this is a XXXX issue, and stemmed from their system having performance problems. So now, not only am I out of the use of my {$2000.00} for the past several days, but I have lost interest on those funds and use of those funds to pay a credit card, so there might be interest charges accruing on the credit card I would have otherwise paid with this {$2000.00}. I want to note I have had repeated problems with XXXX.

Complaint:
This is now my XXXX attempt to get this matter resolved regarding the XXXX account in my Experian report. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there was a 30-day late payment on my credit report in XX/XX/2019 and I do not believe I was late on the date they are reporting. I contacted the bureau 2 times now & they claim this information has been verified but they have failed to provide me with any proof which is a clear violation of FCRA Sections 611, 616 & 617. This account should not be showing I was 30 days late since it's a closed account & Ive never been late. Please investigate this matter & provide me with verifiable proof.

Complaint:
I feel puzzled right now coz I have no idea what is going on over there at the CFPB. Ive submitted this same complaint twice already but you still claim Im not the one submitting it. This to me is just foolish. So Im submitting it again hopefully for the last time. Transunion has not been complying with Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I submitted a complaint/dispute about the information listed below. I was the victim of identity theft & the accounts and public records listed below were opened fraudulently & without my knowledge, consent or authority. I provided them with documents that demonstrated this legal issue but they have ignored these documents. They claim they verified the accounts and public records without providing me with any legal documents, contracts or verifiable proof they were opened by me. They are not adhering to section 605b by blocking or removing them from my report. Additionally they are violating sections 616 & 617 for willful noncompliance & negligence. I need this accounts and public records blocked/removed from my credit file per FCRA.
