Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I had a mortgage loan with Wells Fargo and still do. Wells Fargo recommended I open a free checking account. I refinanced my mortgage with them and they began to apply fees to my checking account which brought my account to a negative balance and created a XXXX XXXX negative review. I called several times to resolve and they refused to fix the issue that never should have been an issue as my mortgage loan that qualified me for the free checking account remained with Wells Fargo. 
This occurred in 2013. The fees depleted my account balance of {$100.00} plus. 
Thank you XXXX XXXX

Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CA)

Starting in XXXX XXXX, I noticed my USAA checking account ending in XXXX was suddenly in the negative ( over {$1500.00} ). I had not made any large purchases to create this negative balance. I spoke with USAA who informed me that my account was negative due to multiple {$800.00} transfers ( deposits ) coming from an external account I did not authorize -- an external account which had been closed with no activity for over 2 years. USAA claimed that the external account was nicknamed " XXXX, '' however, this name is unfamiliar to me and I have never nicknamed any account " XXXX. '' These {$800.00} deposits all bounced in my USAA account due to NSF ( non-sufficient funds ), but strangely, these bounced deposits resulted in an {$800.00} debit to my account every single time without any obvious transactions showing withdrawals of these NSF deposits. USAA was confused and could not provide evidence of where the money went FROM my account, despite my repeated requests. The bank also refused to close my account during the fraud investigation, resulting in a final negative balance of {$5500.00} ( {$790.00} and {$4700.00} ) when the account was closed on XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I am not trying to gain any money out of the situation. I have stayed in constant contact with USAA since the first moment I noticed the fraudulent activity on my account, however, as shown from the attached timeline, USAA has repeatedly refused to give me the account statements and other documentation, denied me access to USAA online to reconcile my account, discontinued business with me, and otherwise acted unprofessional and unwilling to help me rectify the situation. After speaking with a XXXX XXXX Legal Assistance attorney, and with USAA refusing to work with me, I am left with no choice but to file a CFPB claim for assistance. The NSF money that was transferred from the closed account to my USAA account, thus bouncing, was not my money and I did not authorize the withdrawal transactions. I would like for my account to return to normal status and the situation to be over. I greatly appreciate any help that you can give!

I thought it could just be a browser issue, so I refreshed the page, but the wrong accounts stayed there. Its deeply concerning, and Im requesting that the documents Ive provided be carefully examined to prevent this from happening again.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (PA)

XXXX is claiming that I owe them a balance of {$490.00} from services that I had in XXXX XXXX before a move to XXXX XXXX. My services were transferred to my new address, not stopped, thus any remaining balance was transferred and service would not have been continued with such a large payment owed. I was contacted by a collection agency about this supposed debt and reached out to XXXX informed me that the amount was an error because the move had not been documented properly. Still, my report was not fixed. I have filed several disputes regarding this amount in collections and it has not been resolved. I have spoken to XXXX on at least ten different occasions and have been promised the amount would be removed from Collections. It never has been. They have claimed to open investigations and given me claim numbers only for me to be told when following up on the issue, that the claim numbers were not valid. I have screenshots of chats with XXXX representatives assuring me that my debt will be removed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Re : Dispute of Charge-Off Account under the CARES Act, FCRA, and TILA Account NumberXXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for inaccurately reporting a charge-off account on my credit report. This action is inconsistent with the protections established under the CARES Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

CARES Act During the national emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I applied for and was approved for a financial relief program provided by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX . Under the CARES Act, creditors were required to provide payment deferrals or modifications and report the accounts in a favorable status while participating in these programs. Despite complying with the terms of the program, my account was marked as charge-off, which is a violation of this law.

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) According to the FCRA, creditors and credit reporting agencies are required to report accurate information. Reporting my account as charge-off is incorrect and unfairly damaging my credit history. I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that this error is properly investigated and that the charge-off status is removed from my credit report.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding credit terms and any modifications to them. I was not properly informed by XXXX XXXX XXXX about how the relief program would impact my account or how the status of the account would be reported to the credit bureaus. This lack of transparency is a violation of my rights under TILA.

Request Therefore, I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require XXXX XXXX XXXX to remove the charge-off status from my credit report, as the information is inaccurate. I am attaching supporting documents that show I was part of a financial relief program and that this charge-off classification is incorrect.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary actions to rectify this situation, protecting my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
