Issue: Credit line increase/decrease — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (AL)

I reached out to SunTrust Bank via electronic banking secure messaging to inquire about increasing my credit limit. I explained in detail my request and concerns I had regarding the process, specifically whether a " hard inquiry '' is required for this process. I was instructed to contact the XXXX number for further assistance. I called the number provided to request they review my account eligibility for an increase to my credit limit. Their touch-tone phone menu was incredibly frustrating, and would not allow me to press " 0 '' ( to speak with a representative ). The automated system insisted I choose an option, for which none were relevant. I had to hang up and call a second time using the voice commands in order to be able to speak to someone. Once a representative answered ( XXXX, sp? ), I was told that more information would be needed and that they would need to submit a credit application. Before I allowed the associate to continue, I inquired whether this would result in a " hard inquiry '' or a " soft inquiry. '' I was told that consideration for a limit increase would result in a " hard inquiry ''. Therefore, I declined to move forward. I find this practice predatory on consumers. First, the E-Banking specialist should have indicated in his response that SunTrust requires a hard inquiry, especially considering I communicated my concerns. Secondly, SunTrust already has updated credit information pulled monthly, so I see no justification on why they feel it is necessary to pull a new report. They have their own account relationship data, as well as monthly updates on credit reports that can be used to " score '' whether or not a consumer is eligible for a limit increase.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dispute of Incorrect Charge-Offs on Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of several charge-offs appearing on my credit report.

As such, these debts have been legally discharged, and the amounts should not be listed as outstanding or derogatory entries on my credit report. 

I respectfully request that these charge-offs be removed from my credit report immediately, as they are inaccurate and misleading. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to investigate my claim and remove any incorrect information. 

Please notify me of the results of your investigation in writing. If these entries are not corrected, I am prepared to escalate this matter and may consider further action, including filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation that these errors have been corrected. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities.

Urgent Alert : Immediate Action Required!

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ), it is explicitly stated that " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies uphold their profound responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX, as consumer reporting agencies, are bound by this mandate, and as a consumer, I am entitled to enforce my right to protect my private information. 

Moreover, 15 USC 6801 underscores that Congress has established a policy where each financial institution must uphold a continuous and affirmative obligation to safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of customers nonpublic personal information. This obligation extends to any entity providing information to credit agencies, which are classified as financial institutions under this regulation.

15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) stipulates that consumer reporting agencies are only permitted to furnish consumer reports under specific conditions, primarily adhering to the written instructions of the consumer. Neither XXXX nor XXXX has my consentneither verbal, written, nor impliedto disclose my information. All forms of consent to these agencies are hereby revoked. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) requires that financial institutions disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties only after providing the consumer with a clear explanation of how to exercise their nondisclosure option. Neither XXXX nor XXXX has provided such information, thereby failing to comply with this regulation. 

Additionally, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information that predates the report by more than seven years. The continued reporting of this outdated information without my authorization constitutes a direct violation of this law.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) mandates that no person should furnish inaccurate information to any consumer reporting agency if they are aware or reasonably should know of its inaccuracy. XXXX and XXXX are in clear violation of this requirement. 

15 U.S. Code 1681e demands that consumer reporting agencies implement reasonable procedures to prevent violations of Section 1681c and limit the furnishing of reports to legitimate purposes. It is evident that XXXX and XXXX are failing to uphold these standards. 

Finally, 12 CFR 1016.7 grants consumers the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I am exercising this right immediately.

This is a serious breach of legal obligations and my personal privacy. Immediate rectification and cessation of these practices are required.
