Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: U.S. BANCORP (OH)

On XX/XX/, I deposited two IRS tax refund checks totalling {$8100.00} in my US Bank checking account. I was told by teller who took my deposit that US Bank was putting a 7-10 hold on the checks to verify them. I found out after I left when I tried to make a purchase that US Bank had placed a freeze on my account. Over the next 24 hours, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I was giving multiple reasons why this was done from multiple customer service reps at US Bank to the teller and branch manager at US Bank XXXX XXXX ohio branch. I was told checks were being held for verification then both checks bounced then fraud department had placed hold on my account. Finally I was told by teller who made deposit and branch manager at XXXX XXXX branch that US Bank risk department had placed hold on my account and was reviewing my account for closure. They said they didn't have reason why this was being done. On XX/XX/, I received a letter dated XX/XX/ from US BANK stating that my account was in process of being closed for 'suspected irregular activity '. I checked my online banking and a withdrawl was made on my account at XXXXXXXX XXXX for {$8100.00}. I immediately called US Bank XXXX XXXX branch and spoke to teller who took original deposit to ask who withdrew that money out of my account. She told me she didn't that information. I recorded my phone call on my cell phone with her. I asked when I would receive my balance of {$8100.00} and she stated it would be mailed out within 15 business days. It has been a total of 35 days and I have received no check or explanation of where my money is.

I am writing to urgently address a severe matter regarding fraudulent activity on my credit report. Upon thorough review, I have uncovered multiple inaccurate and unauthorized entries that significantly compromise my financial integrity and creditworthiness. These fraudulent accounts have been causing unwarranted distress and hardship, and I seek your immediate intervention to rectify this situation. 

The fraudulent entries in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$80.00} Status : Collection account. {$80.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$130.00} Status : Collection account. {$130.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$1300.00} Status : Collection account. 
XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$270.00} Despite my repeated efforts to address these issues with the credit reporting agencies, the entries persist on my report, unjustly tarnishing my credit score and financial reputation. 

It is imperative to emphasize that I have never authorized or initiated any of these accounts. I strongly suspect that they are the result of identity theft or malicious activity targeting my financial records. As a vigilant consumer, I have diligently monitored my credit report and have taken immediate action upon discovering these discrepancies. 

In light of these grave concerns, I wish to draw your attention to several pertinent laws and regulations established under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) that safeguard consumer rights : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 609 : This section empowers consumers to request disclosure of their credit report and dispute any inaccuracies or fraudulent entries therein. 
Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 : This section mandates credit reporting agencies to promptly investigate and address any disputes raised by consumers regarding the accuracy of information on their credit reports.

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 615 : This section outlines the responsibilities of information furnishers, such as creditors and lenders, to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they provide to credit reporting agencies.

I urgently implore the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and expedite the removal of these fraudulent entries from my credit report. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into the origins of this fraudulent activity and appropriate actions against the perpetrators.

Enclosed with this letter are copies of documents supporting my identity and evidence of the fraudulent entries on my credit report.

Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I eagerly await a swift resolution. Please do not hesitate to contact me if further information or assistance is required.

Be sure to generate me with a duplicate of the agreement signed or voice interaction where I permitted charging me regarding these accounts.
