Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Key Bank, XXXX to dispute the overdrawn balance on my account. A charge of {$79.00} from XXXX was charged to my account on XX/XX/XXXX. In addition, XXXX overdraft fees were applied to my account. Fact : I have made XXXX deposits since opening the account on XX/XX/XXXX {$10.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$20.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$87.00}, and XX/XX/XXXX {$20.00} ). The largest charge to the account was {$52.00} for a gift card. My complaint stems from the fact on XX/XX/XXXX, when the account went into the negative Key Bank continued to authorize charges. Instead of declining them when the checking account did not have sufficient funds, Key Bank approved the charges while assessing reoccurring overdraft fees. There was no account alert provided for the fraud charge. Currently, Key Bank is charging {$120.00} to substantiate the account from its negative status. I am disputing the amount due to the fact that Key Bank had no grounds to authorize and continue to pay out of an account that had insufficient funds. On XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX XXXX charge of {$2.00} was approved and on XX/XX/XXXX another charge of {$2.00} was approved in addition to the {$79.00} causing the accounts dilemma. The account went into the negative on XX/XX/XXXX and Key Bank continued to approve the XXXX XXXX charges totaling {$4.00}. Subsequently, adding overdraft and recurring overdraft fees to the account. On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited {$20.00} to cover the XXXX XXXX charges. There were no monies in the account to cover the fraudulent charge of {$79.00} which was posted on XX/XX/XXXX. I initially opened the joint account just in case my sister wanted to deposit her Social Security checks and required my assistance to monitor her spending. I have managed to keep the account active by putting in little funds and providing some activity. However, I feel the fault remains with Key Bank and their willingness to cause financial harm off the backs of the struggling consumer during these unprecedented times. I am seeking to have the {$120.00} waived by the institution.

I acquired my credit bureaus to check anf make sure everything was complete and accurate according to 15 usc 1681 ( i ). 

I waited 30 days and I haven't recieved nothing here is my tracking number # XXXX. It has been over thirty days.

And one more thing, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax didn't record the current status of the account being in the disputed status. 

XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax is holding me back from getting a new house and car. This is very fustrating, because I am trying to improve the life of me and my family and XXXX is not doing its job according to the law.

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. There are FIVE hard inquires on my credit report that I did not authorize ; from CBNA. I have been in constant communication with this company for the last few months. I even faxed ( per their request ) a copy of my credit report ; listing the inquires from this company. All they do is transfer me to their Fraud department ; which always results in " Sorry ma'am we can't locate you in our system ; and don't see any applications or accounts matching your demographics. However, those FIVE hard inquires are plain as day on my report. I filed a complaint, and nothing is being done. I have not been seeking any credit ; as my personal documents and social security card was stolen over a year ago. I would like these inquires deleted. As, the company keep saying ; They have no record, application, or business dealing with me. Again, I am screen shooting the inquires. I just want them deleted. I didn't authorize them, don't have an account with them, never even heard of them. As, i have stated. These inquires are fraud. Of course the demographics match mine. The person was trying to open debts and accounts in my name. That is the purpose of me contacting you all to advised you of this. As, I have stated. I was homeless, no computer, no place to live.

This is a complaint against XXXX XXXX. The reason why I am writing this complaint is because on my XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax credit report on XX/XX/2018. This inquiry was not authorized by me, this was done under fraud. I will be brief, I did not authorize this and I do not recognize this inquiry.

I am bringing this to the attention of the CFPB because when I tried to requested directly with the credit agencies and their response was that I had to do it directly with the companies that I asked them from.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I mailed physical copies of my original bankruptcy filing to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to demonstrate that they were reporting an inaccurate date and that the ten-year period is expired. Specifically, the Chapter XXXX bankruptcy filed in XXXX relates back to the XXXX Chapter XXXX bankruptcy that I filed but was dismissed without prejudice due to my XXXX and XXXX issues shortly after filing. Therefore, I requested that the bankruptcy be removed from each of my credit reports. 

1. XXXX promptly removed the bankruptcy 2. Equifax reported the bankruptcy as " verified '' XXXX. XXXX had the temerity to respond that their information ( likely from XXXX ) was correct. In other words, their privately harvested data is more accurate than a federal court order ( uploaded herewith ) I am filing suit in federal district court tomorrow. The number of inaccuracies, aside from the bankruptcy issue, combined with the number and frequency of inaccurate reporting by these agencies across the nation creates and perpetuates systemic economic disenfranchisement that disproportionately impacts people of XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Hi! I enrolled in Best Buys credit card through Citibank XX/XX/XXXX to buy new appliances for our home. We are frequent buyers of Best Buy and my fiance and I are both in great credit standing. 

Our Balance as of XX/XX/XXXX was {$1500.00} out of {$6900.00}. We paid the majority of this within the first year in a lump sum. They ran a 2 year promotion of interest free and when XX/XX/XXXX hit there was {$2400.00} on my account for an interest charge. Before this and after this, I received XXXX cutesy notification that the promo was expiring or that this would be what would be hitting my account. I recently received ( 1 week ) calls from their call team trying to collect money that now the balance is {$3900.00} within 1 month. I called and tried to talk to multiple supervisors and they told me there's nothing they can do. I offered to pay the remaining balance right away and for an interest charge of the remaining balance. Instead they said there's nothing they can do and I had to pay a 3x of what my outstanding actually is. They had XXXX cooperation and very little customer help. Again, we are frequent shoppers and have perfect standing with credit and the majority was paid. This promo charge is ridiculous considering what the balance left and Citibank is a complete scam with their lack of communication or heads up to their customers of anything changing. They only called to collect after that large interest charge was put on the bottom line. I will no longer be affiliated with either companies. This is a major disappointment across the board.

But they never told me that because I assumed all the loans would be handled the same way the school loan went into collections. I have since paid it off. I personally asked the professor in assembly if the school was accredited he said that it was. I learn now that 's not the case.
