Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

This is my second issue with this bank, the first one was for fraud that occurred and now I made payment for a loan that I had with them which should have been paid on a monthly payment of {$43.00} but since I had the fraud that occurred in XX/XX/2021 while I was out of the country for two months and I was not able to make payments and not able to use another account to make payment which regions say that I am not able to make an online payment for the loan, I had to go to a local branch, so tell me how am I going to go to a local branch when I am in the XXXX XXXX? 
however, when I got back to the country I contacted the branch manager at the local XXXX office to let her know what happened to me but instead, I was getting the third degree from her like I was at fault and she was being rude and I even sent her an email letting her know that I paid the entire amount of the loan because I just didn't want to deal with this bank anymore. As a professional she didn't even have the decency to email me back WOW, such a professional XXXX XXXX, not to even respond to an email.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX  XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

To Whom It May Concern, On XX/XX/2020 I disputed an account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the file you maintain under my Social Security number. I was informed on XX/XX/2020 that the item was deleted from my credit report. Now I have discovered that the item has been reinserted on my credit report. 

In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), you are required to notify me of the reinsertion in writing within 5 business days.

( B ) Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material ( ii ) Notice to consumer If any information that has been deleted from a consumers file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 

I received no such notification. This is a very serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action for your blatant disregard for the law. 

I hereby demand that you immediately delete the item from my credit report in order to avoid legal action. I am submitting this complaint separately to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Attorney Generals Office, and the XXXX. 

Please govern yourself accordingly.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I have sent letters to each XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax on three different occasions and have yet to receive a response from any of them. The exact dates I sent the letters were on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I believe I am getting ignored and the credit bureau 's are infringing on my rights under the FCRA. 

It has been over 90 days with no response from the bureaus so I would like the negative information being reported on my credit profile to be deleted.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I am a XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My XXXX, the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX FL had a military XXXX at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, FL. I was ordered to stay at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under a program called XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). Under the XXXX XXXX XXXX program the XXXX pays for a group of hotels under a contract with the Hotel. Nothing should be charged to the individual Soldier. I should not have had to pay for my room at all since it was supposed to be paid using the government contract under the XXXX program. I arrived at XXXX XXXX 's in XXXX XXXX and was told I could not get the room without presenting a credit card " to be used for incidentals only. '' The person at the front desk assured me the Government Travel Card I presented would not be used for the room as it was covered under the XXXX contract. The stay occurred on or around XX/XX/2017 On my next bill I was charged {$470.00} for the room and I did not incur any incidentals. I immediately disputed the charges with the bank by phone and sent a certified letter return receipt as a follow up and contacted XXXX at XXXX XXXX 's who agreed the charge should be taken off my Government Travel Card ( GTC ) as the XXXX contract should have paid for the room. XXXX was going to remove the charge from my GTC and charge the room to the XXXX contract. The charge was never removed from the GTC. Instead Citibank sent me a letter stating they are " unable to assist me '' since my card " has not been lost or stolen '' and " my correspondence was received after the requested response date ''. However, the certified letter I sent was timely sent. Numerous calls to Citibank and XXXX XXXX 's have been unsuccessful. I get the impression from Citibank that they are not concerned with disputing an illegal charge and are not interested in helping me whatsoever because they know that my XXXX has to report GTC delinquencies and there is an intense amount of pressure to pay the charges on the card. However, I never authorized the purchases put on my card. Citibank seems unable and unwilling to comprehend this.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

On or about XX/XX/2018 I sent the attached letter ( Conn 's 623 letter ) to Conn 's detailing inaccuracies they are reporting to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Under section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) of FCRA entitled ABILITY OF CONSUMER TO DISPUTE INFORMATION DIRECTLY WITH FURNISHER I am entitled to dispure inaccurate information to the data furnisher. I've previously disputed this information directly to the credit bureaus, but Conn 's is determined to flout the law and keep reporting information they know to be inaccurate. Under 623. ( b ) of the FCRA entitled 623. ( b ) Duties of furnishers of information upon notice of dispute it states in part that " In general. After receiving notice pursuant to section 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) [ 1681i ] of a dispute with regard to the completeness or accuracy of any information provided by a person to a consumer reporting agency, the person shall ( A ) conduct an investigation with respect to the disputed information ''.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I have filed a claim for a fraudulent transaction to US Bank in the amount of {$520.00}, which occurred on XX/XX/2018. US Bank has denied my claim stating that they have sent a text message to my cell phone to confirm the transaction from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2018. 
1. The transaction did not occur on XX/XX/2018 so it was not possible for the bank to text me in regards to this transaction as the transaction occurred on XX/XX/2018 2. I have contacted my mobile phone provider with all incoming text messages on these dates and their documentation shows that no text messages have been received on XX/XX/2018 from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 3.

Complaint sub-issue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

XX/XX/2020 I completed a trade in with Carvana and was given a non-resident XXXX   temp tag and registration and I reside in XXXX. Upon receipt I realized the temp plates were already 3 days old. My problem stems from the fact that Carvana failed to disclose that the transfer of plates and registration would take 6-8 weeks, which would be a deal breaker to me due to the fact I would be illegally driving this vehicle for a possible 25-30 days. When speaking to a Carvana Rep she stated the companies position was, sorry but there's nothing we can do for you. I suggested a rental, and was rebuffed. Full disclosure could have prevented this oncoming catastrophe, with no relief in site. Have no alternative but to knowingly break the law with expired tags and pray if caught the legal consequences are not too severe. Worst of all is their position on the matter, totally uncaring and remorseless, for this abominable business practice.

I submitted a complaint to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX against Equifax Credit Bureau. They responded to the complaint but are completely ignoring the laws in regards to consumer reporting and are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 15 USC 1681B clearly states the consumer must provide written consent for anything added to their consumer report by any reporting agency. I did not give any agencies this consent, this includes any vendor who they got this information from. Also they have yet to provide me with a contract that has my signature where I consent to them sharing this information. I also received a request from Equifax compelling me to give out my Social Security Number which is a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. Which means they obtained all information through identity theft. That is also a violation of 18 USC1028A aggravated identify because they used my name without my consent.15 USC 1666b clearly states a consumer credit transaction can not be listed as late for any reason. Please review 5 USC 552A in concerns to the law for reporting information on individuals. Also at least 1 agency has delete both fraudulent accounts so again they are reporting inaccurate. I demand they correct it. I have submitted several complaints against Equifax Credit Bureau for constant violations of consumer law. In response they removed 1 of the fraudulent accounts but left the other. They both were added through unlawful methods and both should be removed the same. Not only are you reporting false information you are reporting it illegally. Please provide me with a copy if the contract I singed agreeing for you to furnish this information or delete the account immediately. Also XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has no authority to verify this debt as they stole my identity, please provide me with the contract where I authorized them to share that information or delete the account immediately. Please provide me with all documentation in regards to my investigation or delete the account. Any and all parties who you are allegedly verifying this debt from stole my identity. You are also reporting inaccurate information such as late payments which is a billing error. The fraudulent accounts have both been deleted by another consumer reporting agency so once again they are displaying false information. If the other agency could not verify this debt how could Equifax? They also contradict themselves in their response stating that all unpaid collections will remain on the credit file for 7 years however the other collections that they removed was also unpaid and is no longer reporting. This will be my last CFPB complaint before I file a fraud complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. They said " PLEASE BE SPECIFIC WITH YOUR CONCERNS BY LISTING THE ACCOUNT NAMES, NUMBERS, AND THE NATURE OF THE DISPUTE '' so here it is : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Total fraud account. 
Please review the attached five complaints which will further clarify my complaint.

Respected Sir/ Madam, I am exploring the possibilities for financing my daughter 's XXXX education with private loan from bank. I am in the XXXX on XXXX visa. My daughter is on XXXX dependent visa. As a result, she is considered as international student. I am waiting in the Green Card ( Permanent Residency ) line for last several years. 

I checked with Discover, XXXX XXXX websites. While they allow international students to apply for loan, they need cosigners who are either US citizens or Permanent Residents.
