Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

I received a letter dated XX/XX/2020 from US Bank stating that it was closing my account immediately for inactivity. In almost all cases in the past, with other credit card companies, I would receive a letter letting me know that my card will be closed for inactivity in 30 - 60 days unless I ( 1 ) give them a call to discuss keeping the card open or ( 2 ) make a purchase using the card scheduled to be closed.

I found this concerning because most Banks appear to be bending over backward to help their customers during the pandemic. In this case I wasn't given an opportunity to resolve the matter and keep the credit card account open. 

I called Customer Service at XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX EDT on XX/XX/2020 to discuss the matter as instructed in the letter. The Customer Service Representative told me that this was considered a permanent close and if I wanted it to be re-opened I would have to reapply. I didn't want to go that route so as not to affect my credit score with a new inquiry and asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor told me the same thing and let me know that there was no one else I could talk to. I found that surprising and ended the call. 

I just looked at my XXXX FICO Score XXXX on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX and have an XXXX credit score - nine points away from a perfect score using that model version. It appears that credit scoring was not a variable in their closure mode where they could secure a soft hit on my credit report to determine the minimal risk I present to the Bank without impacting my credit score. 

Thank you.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I submitted a request for a credit card with XXXX XXXX bank and it was declined because of information from equafax that wasnt up to date because my credit limit on tw cards were increased by a total of {$3000.00} which made a big difference with % of credit availability. I filed a dispute with cfpb because for over the limit amounts are updated mostly the next day but it had been almost 3 weeks and it wasnt updated. I was sent an email saying it had been resolved but I couldnt get the results on line and when I called I was told the didnt have any disputes from me. After I file the dispute my credit score with XXXX went immediately down while the went up with the other two agencies. I was sent another email from them saying it was ready to be viewed but I wasnt able to view them again. Equifax also sent out information on my new balances without mentioning the increases intentionally trying to lower my other scores. I would like to know the agency that I can file a discrimination complaint and a retaliatory complaint for them intentionally trying to limit my credit and ruin my life.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

In XX/XX/XXXX upon reviewing my paycheck I noticed almost {$300.00} were missing, after contacting payroll services i became aware that a " garnishment '' had been placed under my name in the total amount of {$680.00} ( don't know if there are more to come ). Contacted XXXX and they referred me to XXXX under a collection agency apparently called " first collect '' and spoke to " XXXX '' who would then inform of a hospital bill under my name. The hospital is " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' in XXXX DE, according to XXXX from First Collect, this people used all my info and even took advantage of using my own medical insurance, the " date of judgement '' is XX/XX/XXXX so i have no idea when the incident actually happened. Needless to say I have NEVER in my life visited the state of Delaware and have never had the need to visit a hospital in my life. I was able to provide an address for the collection agency to send to my job in order stop garnishing my funds and I was also made aware that the funds that have been taken out of this paycheck is " supposed to be reversed '' i just don't know if its true or when this will be done. This situation completely took me off guard because I have never seen a medical bill from this place in my credit report and i have never received a letter of collection to my address in TX or a phone call which makes me think the fraudster may have given some of her contact info. The only other information I know ( from the collection agency ) is that aside from using all my info there was an address in " XXXX Delaware '' on file but the actual address was not given to me. So this person might still live there. I do believe this may be an undocumented person using my information to work because back in XXXX I almost got denied for unemployment due to the fact that " I was working in the fields '' but it was definitely not me as there has not been a need for me to work in this line of business. This ( i suspect ) is due to a car break before XXXX in in where someone stole my SSN, birth certificate, ID and a few other documents items that were left behind in my purse ; A police report was made under the car owner ( my friend ) in XXXX TX.

Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

I XXXX XXXX, have had account for over three years with CITIGROUP. I started this account as a secured credit card, and graduated to a regular to a credit card. I took very serious due to the fact that I was rebuilding my credit.This card is my oldest open account on my credit profile. I received a letter on Monday XX/XX/2019 stating that the account was due to a returned payment from an account that I also have with CITIBANK. There was some unexpected transaction that was posted on the bank account that caused the payment to be returned. I was willing and able to cover the transaction and any fee/fees that may be associate with the transaction. I fine it very unfair to consumers that after years of building or rebuilding credit, that the account could closed for such minor infraction, especially given that it reflex negatively on consumers credit report to have closed accounts.
Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

I have an original debt from XXXX XXXX. It has been sold to two different debt collectors that have both reported the debt to my credit report from XXXX XXXX for the same amount resulting in duplicate reporting.

XXXX XXXX XXXX has begun reporting under my personal credit report beginning in XX/XX/2021 a commercial loan which is owned by an LLC. This LLC is then owned by a real estate holding company which holds all my real estate holding nationwide. I have disputed this with the company and with the credit bureau twice. 
The deed and bill of sale clearly show the owner of the property which is not me personally.

Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I'm sorry but I have to file another complaint against the credit bureaus even though I just filed one last month. I mean seriously guys XXXX! The credit bureaus response to me after letting you know they didn't address my dispute letters since XXXX is to tell me to " Please be specific with your concerns by listing the account names, numbers, and nature of the dispute. '' Is this a joke? And that is only the credit bureau that responded. The other two haven't! I submitted two different letters to each bureau with very specific disputes and concerns. I'm uploading them so you can have proof. This is yet more proof that the credit bureaus are just ignoring me and treating me like some XXXX XXXX. I want these accounts deleted NOW! The credit bureaus already had their 30 days times 3 and almost a fourth time.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

On XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I the consumer sent out a letter via USPS certified mail with tracking to EQUIFAX, the letter was titled AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH, NOTICE OF DISPUTE ; DEMAND FOR VALIDATION AND PROOF OF CLAIM. EQUIFAX was in receipt of the letter per certified mail tracking on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. I, consumer, was in receipt of a response sent from EQUIFAX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX The letter that consumer XXXX XXXX XXXX has was a letter stating that EQUIFAX updated the account ( s ) and verified items belong to " YOU ''. There were two accounts that consumer requested within the AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH demanding that EQUIFAX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), EQUIFAX is required by federal law to verify - through the PHYSICAL verification of the original signed consumer contract for any and all accounts EQIFAX posts on a consumer 's credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent consumer account information to verify. I demanded to see Verifiable Proof of the original instrument of indebtedness ( an original Consumer Contract with my WET INK Signature on contract ) that EQUIFAX has on file of the account ( s ) listed below and this request is not asking for a PHOTOCOPY OF A STATEMENT OF ALLEGED ACCOUNT ( S ) or a PHOTOCOPY of the alleged debt contract but the ORIGINAL with XXXX XXXX XXXX wet ink signature.

EQUIFAX failure to positively verify these correctly under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed/deleted and if EQUIFAX is unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, EQUIFAX must remove/delete the accounts XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I am XXXX XXXX, and upon checking my most recent credit report, I noticed that the Credit Bureau is continuously reporting accounts with erroneous information. This is a massive violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have already addressed them with regard to this issue and I have not received any response from them until this date.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

On XX/XX/XXXX I have opened an account with US Bank which was initially funded with {$200.00}. I have opened an account reacting to the {$300.00} bonus offer sent to me by the bank ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) as the local branch in XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL refused to open it. I was told that this is online offer only and to get the bonus I must do it online. At the account opening I have explained that I work overseas and the payment for my work coming from XXXX will be in form of international wire. I was told that is acceptable as long as the payment is made for a payroll purpose ( which it was ). Subsequently I was provided with a US Bank routing info which was incorrect ( XXXX ) along with the XXXX XXXX which was incorrect as well which delayed the payment processing to more than 30 days funding scenario after account opening. I have had a conversation with person name XXXX who was a supervisor at the US Bank who informed me that the notes will be left on the account to explain the situation and bonus being provided after the {$3000.00} plus balance held for more than 30 days will be fulfilled. On XX/XX/XXXX I called as the bonus was not credited and found out that my account was not credited since the " international wire '' is not a direct deposit, contrary to what I was told at the account opening. Also the person assisting me, XXXX made a representation that she can address the issue of bonus right then when I called and after a while into the conversation it became an evident she lied to me as she was actually not qualified/authorized to address it. Question to the US Bank I have is this : 1 ) Why is the US Bancorp so unprofessional as to misrepresent the financial products requirements to obtain the bonus and when the funding requirement is actually met to deny it?

2 ) What does it say for the bank to send wrong routing/swift numbers to consumer and was it done on purpose to delay the funding of the account thus make it ineligible for the bonus?

I think it is reprehensible that the US Bank is allowed to do business this way and the CFPB should investigate whether the issue is systemic thus warranting regulatory action. In my opinion it is.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

A year ago a Jefferson Capital Systems , LLC contacted me claiming I owe a debt that I know for fact never happened. They claim I had a XXXX account years ago. I never made any large transactions using XXXX. I disputed this claim and reported it as fraud. They said they would delete it from their system. 

I contacted XXXX and they said that I never had an account and show no records or any transaction. They believe that someone stole my identity or this was a scam. 

On or about XX/XX/22 another company XXXX, XXXX contacted me about the same debt owed. The original company Jefferson Capital lied to me and did not delete the debt, instead the soled my information to another company XXXX. I contacted them and gave them the same information. Neither company will provide me with any details as evidence or documentation to this fraudulent transaction. Both companies REFUSE to provide any evidence or documentation. Both companies continue to lie, and harrassment. Again I asked to dispute this debt and mark as fraud. 

On further investigation I have found out that XXXX doesn't even have account numbers as provided by these companies and as such the account number provided by XXXX XXXX is fictitious. Both companies are financial fraudsters using made up debts and account numbers. They are scammers. Also after investigation XXXX and associated reviews and reports online I find out that they have numerous complaints with others doing the same scam scheme. 

I want this abusive fraudulent behavior and contact to stop immediately and for these companies to be held liable for this conduct. Both companies should be investigated. I will seek legal action against both companies if this does not stop immediately. If they sell my personal information again to any other company legal action will be taken. The original personal information was not provided by me and I question how they obtained my information in the first place. Possible identity theft used to scam. If they report this debt to the credit union I will seek legal actions and sue for damages, unfair practices, harrassment, etc.
