Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE (CA)

On XX/XX/2023, Schwab sent me an email regarding my checking account saying " Please confirm your address within 60 days. '' The email contained no other details. I immediately confirmed my address on their website and confirmed with their online chat that my account was in good standing. 

Despite this, on XX/XX/2023, I again received an email from Schwab saying to confirm my address or it would be closed by XX/XX/2023. The email claimed " We recently noticed international activity in your Schwab Bank account ( s ) shown below, which may indicate you reside outside the U.S. '' I again confirmed my US address on their website and was told by Schwab online chat that my account was fine now. Since it was clear Schwab had no idea what it was doing, I twice sent a written letter to Schwab via their website asking them to confirm in writing that my account is in good standing. Schwab never replied to these letters. 

On XX/XX/2023, I received a third email, again asking me to confirm my account address because of " international activity ''. I again confirmed my address with Schwab 's online chat and they told me everything was fine now. I also submitted a travel notice.

I have zero confidence Schwab won't close my account in XXXX despite their assurances. I want written confirmation that the account is in good standing and compensation for wasting my time. I've had this account for over 15 years with no issues until now.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Why does this account show different collection agencies names and when I look up contact information for the collection agency that is being furnished on my credit report, nothing comes up? There are many FCRA violations here and I have been trying to get this inaccurate information removed from my credit report for 3 months. I am now disputing this information with the credit bureaus as I have tried to find the agency you are reporting but it has been to no avail. Please explain how you are reporting accurate information when there are different agency names. Also, I was never sent any correspondence notifying me that this account was sold. Nonetheless, the account was paid in full because I do not believe in having unpaid debt. Even though the original company did not do their due diligence to inform me I still paid the balance, and you are still reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. I am demanding that this account is removed due to it being paid to the collection agency. I contacted the original creditor and will attach the letter to this complaint.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CA)

I just opened this checking account not a month ago and I just received XXXX notices that it and the associated savings account are going to be closed on XXXX/XXXX/2017 and the associated credit card has been XXXX out. I have barely gotten a chance to use this account and I do n't know why my membership is being canceled as the letter does n't state and the bank refuses to say. I have only had an overdraft using the protection because of their ridiculous hold policies and it was immediately paid. My husband 's account was closed before but I had nothing to do with that nor am I responsible for his behavior ( even though they could n't explain that either other than " unacceptable behavior '' ) and we are going through a separation so I need a separate account. I have a separate USAA membership number and I feel this is only for discriminatory reasons as they have always been rude to us because we are a XXXX couple. They have damaged my credit and if these accounts are not reinstated, I expect the hard inquiry and all traces of this credit card account to be removed from my credit report. This company now punishes relatives of USAA members they do n't like and ca n't give a reason for either.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Threatened to sue on too old debt
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (AZ)

I was left a voicemail by this company stating there is a " pending civil judgment lawsuit '' being filed against me. This voicemail was left for me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I called this company to see what it was about. The representative there claimed I owed on a debt to HSBC. He said the last payment was made in XX/XX/XXXX. He said if I did n't pay, I would be sued in XXXX County Court. He said the balance owed was {$2500.00}. He offered a settlement for half of the balance. 

I believe this company is a scam. To my knowledge, it is illegal to threaten a lawsuit if they have no intention of carrying it out. It is also illegal for them to threaten lawsuits on a voicemail. In addition to this, the Statute of Limitations is 6 years. If they are saying my last payment was made was in XX/XX/XXXX, the debt is at least 7 years old and is time-barred. I never received anything in the mail from this company prior to these phone calls, and I am unsure if this is even a valid debt, or if this company is authorized to do these collection activities.

Issue: Other — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NH)

I took out a credit card over seven years ago just before the financial meltdown when times were somewhat good and rents were still really low. Being that I had never had a credit card before and it had a low limit I thought I was doing okay. They kept raising the limit and the interest which raised the note each month I had to pay before I realized it and they knew on my account notes that I was on a fixed income. so I tried to do what I could. It finally got to be too much and I could n't pay on it any longer. They started with harassing calls, threats with a collection agency until finally I got the police involved. Now it is past the seven years that the FCRA says they can legally keep it on my credit, yet Capital One keeps it on there like a dog with a bone because they do n't want me to ever have a chance to start over. They want me to stay in the ditch forever. The whole point of the seven year rule was that you get to start over at some point. Not let it keep hanging like a noose around your neck forever. They also have an account of mine when I used to have a checking account which they activated some kind of auto debit which I did n't even know about and it overdrew my checking account by XXXX bucks. They did that thinking with my medical XXXX check going in automatically they would make money off of me. However, I was a little too quick for them. And so was social security. They were able to aid me in getting away from Capital One 's predatory tactics once and for all. They nor I however dreamed Capital One would chase me until my grave.
