Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AR)

On XX/XX/2023, I noticed that I had an XXXXXXXX  fee of XXXX after my nightly balance was XXXX in the positive. This left me with an XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I woke up and saw that I now had XXXX in XXXX XXXX fees. I contacted the bank immediately and they told me it was because my account was in the XXXX during processing times and after updates items that cleared and settled is what caused the fees. They then went on to show me where my XXXX was XXXX or XXXX between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I explained each time I got a notification that my acct was in the negative I transferred funds to cover the XXXX balances, before the cutoff times and those funds were available immediately. I then went in to explain and show how my account was positive each time the fees were accessed. She refused to acknowledge said deposits or admit to any wrong doing on the banks behalf. She said as a courtesy they would waive the XXXX because I have a long banking history with them. I was not really satisfied but I didnt have the energy to continue to go back and forth over fees. The morning of XX/XX/XXXX I woke up to another XXXX in overdraft fees. I again contacted the bank and was told pretty much that even though I brought my account current fees were pending initially as well and that even though I made deposits when alerted to avoid any negative impacts they didnt really count towards some XXXX XXXX. grace period. My bank statements show each time a fee was assessed that it was in a positive standing. Granted it wasnt by lots but it was positive and I did my due diligence to ensure the acct stayed in the positive by transferring money to cover. Normally I do not fight this hard however I feel as if I am being robbed as a consumer.

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)

I provided the credit reporting agencies Equifax and XXXX that the account XXXX XXXX : # XXXX is inaccurately reporting on my credit report. I even provided the documents which they state they are able to see. Per my original contract ( which was provided to the credit agencies, and collection agencies ) with XXXX XXXX XXXX 's original documents the date that the account was open and the amount are incorrectly reporting on my credit. It is against Federal Law to fraudulently report information that is knowingly inaccurate on a person 's credit report. 
I was told that the collection agencies do not have to provide proof that the accounts that they are reporting is correct. Even after I provided my original documents to the credit reporting agencies they refused to delete the inaccurate account from my credit report. I asked why this was and was told that they are taking the collection agencies word over my provided fact checking documents, and that the only thing they could do was file another dispute. I have filed several disputes and nothing is being done to remove this fraudulent account from my credit report. 

The original contract I had with XXXX XXXX was voided because they never pulled money from my bank account, per the contract the money was to be directly paid each month. When I tried to contact them on numerous occasions about the account number that the employee wrote down, to inform them that it was not my account number and the money was never being pulled they would not update the information. XXXX XXXX kept giving me the run around and no one was willing to update my account with my account number. I never received the services because they never pulled the money from my account to pay for the services.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I am writing to dispute several inquiries on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus maintain accurate and up-to-date information and allows consumers to dispute any inaccuracies. Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed multiple inquiries that I did not authorize or recognize. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and financial well-being. According to Section 1681b of the FCRA, credit inquiries must have permissible purpose and consumer consent. I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inquiries and provide evidence of permissible purpose and consumer consent for each. If you are unable to provide such evidence, I request that these inquiries be promptly removed from my credit report. Furthermore, I remind you of your obligation under Section 1681i of the FCRA to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in legal action. Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit report highlighting the disputed inquiries, as well as any supporting documentation I have regarding their unauthorized nature. Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute letter within 30 days and inform me of the steps being taken to address my concerns. I can be reached at the contact information provided above if you require any further clarification or documentation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
