Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IN)

XXXX around XXXX I brought in a check from the IRS thaXXXX was for {$4700.00}. When I made the deposit, the clerk who is also a personal banker informed me that there may be a 10 day hold because of the dollar amount. I then went to work but before I clocked in, logged online through my personal banking phone app and seen that it was pending. When I got off I traveled on the bus and realized I was somehow locked out of my account. I called and was transferred to the fraud department who told me that they were closing my account immediately for fraud, they were not willing to verify the check with the IRS, and they would not give my check back. I got off the bus and took an uber to the bank and called the police. The police arrived and they said they will try and validate the check and of they cant in 7 days they will release the check or create a new one. However they changed their mind again and demanded a XXXX form from the IRS. I retrieved the form and submitted it to the banking center and the XXXX department said they will not accept it from the IRS. The personal banker said the fraud dept is breaking the law because they can not withhold government funds. The fraud dept said they will not give me he check back or cash it. They will report it as unclaimed and use deception by reporting that I never claimed the money. Now I am stuck without the check and the IRS said they can easily verify it. They have a normal process they can follow that they are choosing to not use.

I am writing to contest the erroneous reporting of fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which constitutes a clear breach of legal standards. Upon contacting the relevant financial institutions, it was confirmed that an error had indeed occurred. Additionally, these institutions assured me over the phone that the accounts would be promptly removed. Furthermore, XXXX and XXXX no longer report these accounts following my submission of the requisite FTC report. I am keen to understand the method of verification and investigation employed by your bureau to justify the continued reporting of these accounts. Your bureau is legally mandated to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes. This investigation must be prompt and include a thorough review of all relevant information submitted by the consumer, such as myself.

Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information.

To Whom It May Concern, Re : False Debt Claim by Transworld Systems , Inc. 

I am writing to formally address and dispute a false claim made by Transworld Systems , Inc., alleging that I owe a debt related to a former XXXX  account. This claim is entirely inaccurate and does not reflect the true status of my financial obligations.

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.
