Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Balance transfer — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (MO)

On XX/XX/2016 I contacted U.S. Bank and provided them with a new mailing address for them to mail a replacement for my existing card that expires on XX/XX/2016. While on the phone, I was offered an additional credit card with a XXXX dollar credit limit, zero percent APR for a year, and 17 % APR after the first year. I was also told that I could transfer the balance from my existing card, close to XXXX dollars, to the new card, without any transfer fees. I called on XX/XX/2016 to inquire about whereabouts of the replacement card and new card in the mail. While on the phone I was told that the person I initially spoke to on XX/XX/2016 misspoke and gave me false information about being able to transfer the balance from my original card, to the new card, enabling me to pay off and cancel the original card with a much higher interest rate. I had the new card canceled on XX/XX/2016, and inquired about having my existing card APR lowered to 17 % like the new card they approved me for. Even though U.S. Bank had access to my credit score, they claimed that they could only offer me an APR of 17.99 for 6 months. My grievance is that I was misinformed of my ability to transfer my credit card balance ; which was deciding factor for me to follow through with opening the new credit card account.

They also threatened to launch a countersuit in court if I seek legal action, which I fully intend to do, for it is my right. Also, Rocket Mortgage failed to remove liens we refinanced to remove twice and consequently, an interest-free corporate advance was completed to remove the lien, leaving the balance hanging over our heads, that should have been taken care of with our equity. Finally, after two years, two refinances and a corporate advance, the lien is removed.Hhowever, the escrow account continues to be short with no explanation as to why. I left messages for XXXX XXXX, my point of contact during the four and a half months it took to resolve the issue as well as XXXX XXXX, the person who issued the threatening response to XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I'm really upset because they put the inaccurate account back on my credit report. They took it off before because it was wrong and inaccurate, but now it was included in my credit history again. This is clearly a violation. According to FCRA, if any info that got deleted from my report is put back in, the agency needs to let me know within 5 business days, either in writing or through any other way you've allowed them to. I never received any notice, and I never authorized this agency to report on my consumer profile. I'm super worried because this bad information can mess up my finances. Having an accurate credit report is a big deal because it affects my ability to get loans, have good interest rates, and make important money choices. I know my rights as a customer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the FCRA, they should take off any wrong info from my credit report right away. But putting this item back on my report isn't fair or accurate. It's not right.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
