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

In XXXX, I submitted an RMA ( Request for Mortgage Assistance ) application to XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and was informed that I had been placed in a deferral program. However, I was completely unaware that my loan was going to be transferred from Achieve. This unexpected transfer caused confusion and added complexity to the situation. 

Unfortunately, I have also been dealing with issues related to fraud, which have had a significant impact on my ACH ( Automated Clearing House ) drafts. These fraudulent activities have caused disruptions and financial strain, making it even more challenging to meet my mortgage obligations. 

In my attempts to rectify the situation, I have sent checks to XXXX as a means of payment. However, despite my efforts, it seems that there has been a lack of transparency and deception throughout this process. Additionally, I have experienced harassment through incessant calls from various numbers, including my wife 's XXXX, for reasons unknown. 

Overall, this situation has been incredibly frustrating and distressing. I am seeking resolution and clarity from XXXX  regarding the transfer of my loan, the impact of fraud on my ACH drafts, and the deceptive practices that have been observed.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MO)

I'm reaching out because I've got a major bone to pick with Citi Bank, and I believe you might be able to help. Over the course of XXXX and XXXX, they've hit me with an eye-watering {$460.00} in return check fees. In XXXX, it was {$99.00}, and this year, I've already shelled out a whopping {$340.00} in these pesky charges. 

Now, let 's be real here if a payment bounces, it's typically because we're having a tough time making ends meet. So, what does Citi Bank do? They slap us with more fees, making our balances soar and pushing the minimum payment further out of reach. It's like a never-ending cycle that's making life even harder for folks who are already feeling the financial squeeze. 

I'm just a regular person trying to make things work, and I feel like these return check fees are piling on the stress. I'm reaching out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the hopes that they can take a closer look at this situation and help folks like me. Maybe we can convince Citi Bank to cut us a little slack and stop piling on the fees that only make it harder to get back on our feet. 

Thanks for lending an ear, and I hope we can make a positive change here. 

Best regards, [ Your Name ]

On XXXX XXXX I received a copy of my credit report and noticed several discrepancies on my credit report being reported as collections. I do not notice these accounts and never applied for them. I then reached out to Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX to let them know of the incorrect info they where reporting as well as to report that I do not own these accounts. An investigation was done and these accounts were verified and they even updated the personal information on these accounts from first being fraudulent information to now the correct information that does belong to me. How is that lawful? I mean to update an account with someones personal information after they had already told you the account didn't belong to them is wrong in so many ways. By doing research I found out how to submit a complaint through CFPB. However, after doing so these account where closed. Yet are still being reported on my credit report. I am in need of my report to be corrected so that I may be able to utilize my credit to move forward in life. Please help me!

XXXX XXXX is not allowing me a fair opportunity to manage this account as a co-borrower. I have requested monthly statements, payoff statement, to make me the primary borrower & to have any & all information in regard to this account to be mailed to my address NOT the property address. Im being denied a fair opportunity to protect my personal credit. Every dispute response is verified as accurate but historical information is changed to reflect different information that was previously verified as accurate. I have fought clarification for the past 11 months. I depend on dispute information & credit reports to try to manage this account. I didnt even have an account number or transfer information until XX/XX/2023 through NYS Dept of Financial Services . XXXX XXXX seems to have consistent poor customer service based on reading reviews. Very similar to my own situation. They make no attempt to resolve the situation when I have tried everything I could to protect my credit. I have no control of any future delinquencies because I only find out the status AFTER its reported & ONLY on my own via credit reports & disputes.

I opened an online savings account with XXXX XXXX ( a part of XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/23. They approved the account right away and prompted me to deposit the money. I had to wait for them to approve my husband as a joint account holder, and it took them 11 days to do so. Nobody ever questioned our identity at any point during that process. Once he was approved, we sent them the money from another bank. Right away, they froze our online access and would not even give me the reason why. I continuously tried to find out when I would be able to access our account, especially considering that I could not even see if our transfer went through. They denied me access and would not disclose their reasons for blocking me from my online account or give me a timeframe when I could gain access to my own money. 

In the meantime, I did some research on this bank and found hundreds of complaints about this shady practice that followed the exact same scenario. This bank would arrest their customers funds for weeks or even months at a time. Right away, I demanded, via chat with the bank, that my account be closed and our money returned to us. The chat transcript that I saved clearly shows that I was the one closing this account even before there was any money in it. 

They did close my account but sent me a letter saying that it was their initiative, and they reported negative information to the consumer reporting agencies. I was not worried at the time since I did nothing wrong and was not expecting this bank to report anything of that sort. As I just found out, when applying for a checking account with a different bank, and was denied, that apparently, XXXX XXXX reported identity fraud, which is an outright lie as it has never happened. They never even tried to verify my or my husbands identity. This reporting is outrageous, and damaging, and seems to be done with malicious intent to damage my record. The only fraud there was their own when they XXXX our money under the pretense of " reviewing '' the account, for some reason even their representatives could not explain. 

This banks shady practice should not be permitted as they trick their customers into giving them money, and right after the transfer, they block online access to that money.

I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration with the multiple unsuccessful attempts I have made to rectify the fraudulent items on my credit report. These fraudulent items are severely damaging my credit profile, negatively impacting my financial well-being, and causing significant distress. 

There are accounts listed on my credit report that I believe are the result of identity theft or fraudulent activities. These accounts do not belong to me, and their presence is unjustly damaging my credit score. 
I have made several attempts to dispute these fraudulent items by following the procedures outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). In each dispute, I have provided detailed explanations, supporting documentation, and evidence to substantiate my claims of fraud. 

Unfortunately, my efforts have not yielded the desired results, and I continue to face the following issues : My previous dispute letters and supporting documents have not received a timely response, leaving me in the dark about the status of my disputes. 

The delay in addressing these fraudulent items has caused significant financial hardships and has adversely affected my ability to access credit and financial opportunities.

The presence of these fraudulent items continues to harm my credit score, making it challenging to secure fair lending terms and credit opportunities. 

I understand the critical importance of accurate credit reporting for both consumers and creditors, and I am fully committed to working with your credit bureau to ensure the correctness of my credit profile. However, the lack of responsiveness and efficiency in addressing my concerns has left me feeling frustrated and powerless. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the fraudulent items I have reported and take swift action to remove them. Additionally, please provide me with timely updates on the status of my disputes, as mandated by the FCRA. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my previous dispute letters, supporting documentation, and certified mail receipts, providing evidence of my XXXX attempts to rectify these fraudulent items.
